For many years the dream of striking ‘the British through Suez and with the aid of Turkish troops,’ German led, has been discugsed in all the various yolumes of the German writers, who have been forecasting the fall of the British empire. ‘For these writers the Suez Canal has become the exposed heel of the British Achilles, and they huve seen the fate o” the British empire settled aiong the waterway that De Lesseps constructed | te connect the East with the West. ‘Having hacked their way through Servia to the Gelden Horn, having in the years before the war and in the months since it broke out pushed the construction of the Bagdad railway, the Germans have now a highway running from the Bosphorus, fucing Constantinople, to the edge of the Sinai Desert, ‘which, save for a single break in the ‘Taurus Mountains, provides transportation by ‘rail for heavy aftillery and for supplies to a point & little more than a hundred miles from the Suez Canal itself: From the foot of the Dead Sea there _ Stretches westward over the deserts, by roads the “Children of Israel may have used in part in their great migration to the Promised Land, a desert route, destitute of water, save for a few oases, which they must follow from’ the Mecca railroad, - which they are to quit near the Dead Sea.

The black, jagged line is the railroad, all the links of which the Turks under German leadership, are said to have completed to a point beyond Jerusa- lem with the exception of a single break in the Taurus Mountains about 100 miles long. The route has been.surveyed.through this region and construction of the link is under way, but at present the only construction over that break with the eompleted sections is by dirt road. The Congtantinople-Bagdad railroad, as it is known, branches ut Aleppo and runs through Damascus and Jerusalem, extending from 50 to 100 miles south and west of the latter-city. It is the railroad the Teuto-Turks are expected to use to transport troops and supplies to attack the canal. From the terminus of the road to the canal, the distance is about 100 miles over a burning desert. ° A ten days this march took Napoleon, who, it should be recalled, had with him just above 10,000 men. British, Forces Could Worry | Invading Army in the Desert N this route the invaders would unques- O | tionably be harried by the British troops. The wells would be rendered unfit for “use, and it would be necessary to carry the water needed with the army. On the other hand, there is no real obstacle to the construction of a light railroad behind the ‘army as it advances. Thus the German’ leaders might take a leaf out of the book of Kitchener's campaign in the Soudan in Khartoum. At the end of two or three months of operations there is no reason why the Germans should not succeed in extending to the very edge of the Suez Canal a light railway connecting the Mecca line south of the Iiead Sea, providing only that the afitist chose ta wait for the invasion , behind thejt own fortifications at the edge of the canal. | By contrast {f must be remembered that the British are able, {{f they choose, with far greater ease and resources at thelr command, to extend the railroad that now reaches the canal at Is- mailia, coming east from Cairo, eastward across the desert, to any point they may select as a place for making their defense of the canal. What they have recently done to prepare against the attack we know little about, but it is a fact that the British have faced one such attack, and for more than « year have known that a second and more serious thrust was likely to come. It fs justifiable to suppose that the British may have elected to defend the Suez Canal to the ecst of the waterway, because one of the objects of the defense is not merely to keep the Turks out of Egypt, but to preserve the great ditch safe and thas keep opes the short route to India, while the Teuto-Turks will win a partial victory if they .{ tite able to destroy the canal, even if they fail to rach the Nile.» now in part. 0 anee tt pushed rapidly vont in the first drive at Sues we | weit Hi Hi Ti ate ea ih wi tig rl ea i ae ne Hl as " i ig hr > a bieiefl i te " | i i | Hi z “t re —— ean eee Tee int if i t aE — ; ‘ "mn Hes Hit | uit} Hit aT ’ H ul thi HH NH HA MRE EA a ¥) tietaed | it il } iH, if} i i a i it i? ui ii Hilt i ' Roughly speaking, it was? tl oa ns upon the s ——— se ———— SSS a —T _——— - =a " , DD ae th mi i : sy | i é a oe re lee a . de os : : ti i Ht A S \ I eee | ee ee em re me a ee Se ETS and arrived at the shia of the canal. On their arrival they found that the first 30 miles of the ditch had been covered by great inundation; British engineers had coaxed the water back from the Mediterranean into the ancient lake of Tineh, and as far south as El Kantara, a wall of water shut off the invaders from the canal. 2 But at El ‘Kantara, which in Arabic means “Bridge,” the ancient caravan route from Syria to Egypt passed between the old lake of Tineh and another lake, that of Balai, through the bed of which the canal had been laid. A gap of two or three miles here, protected only by the nar- row ditch of the canal itself, led into Egypt. Ap- ‘parently, however, the gap was too strongly forti- fied, for no serious attack was made here. How the First Turkish Attack on Waterway Failed this some eight miles wide, between Balai Lake and Timsah Lake. Here the canal passes through the Gishr cutting, which recalls Culebra, and was the one considerable obstacle that the engineers who built the ditch had to deal with. Here there is a ridge some 52 feet above the sea level. But again the Turks made little effort in this gap, confining thmselves to a dem- onstration while the main operation was going on. South again there is another gap, some five miles wide, between Timsah Lake and the Sitter Lakes, which, together, form a considerable body of water more than ten miles long. It was at this gap that the Turks aimed their main attack last year. The importance of the point is plain from the map. Just to the north, near the town of Ismailia, the railroad, coming east from Cairo, forks, sending one branch north along the west bank of the canal to Port Said, on the Mediter- ranean and another south on the west bank to Suez. Cairo is less than a hundred miles due west from Ismailia and from the Nile there comes east parallel to the railroad a fresh-water canal. Had the Turks been able to cross the canal at this point they would promptly cut the railroad, eae yics ag Suez and Port Said and opening a road straight to Cairo..To de this they Jaunched oe In any country the aviation is the corps ae Every young man wants “in.” No one is t after 35; the best age is probably 25 to 30.

We find from the New York Sun's symposium “Ton the significance of the Gary dinner to Theo- the table was Americanism, Wall Street now feeling extremely patriotic. Theodore Roosevelt is an American; there is no doubt about that. But the special phase of Americanism which he represents and which ap- peals so strongly to the magnates of Big Busi- pess is the Roosevelt scheme of preparedness. They want the Big Navy, the Big Army, and the Big Orders for war supplies which will keep the steel and munition factories busy for a long time to come. Even more significant than Wall Street’s love of Roosevelt Americanism is the admitted desire of the Big Business men for the Roosevelt scheme of business regulation. We learn from the Sun’s symposium that they “are all of a mind to be- lieve that the regulation of business is to be pre- ferred to the destruction of business.” Wall Street has become “Progressive” in this respect. Remembering the Roosevelt scheme of regula- tion, we are not surprised that Big Business is rallying to his banner. There was occasion for surprise that it did not rally in stronger force when he first announced his policy. The Roosevelt idea, in effect, is to have the Government go into partnership with Big Busi- ness. The Government is not to prosecute Big Business for violation of law, but is to tell cor- porations what they shall do and what they. shall not do.- Big Business is to be permitted to enjoy monopoly and the Government is to decide what is a good monopoly and what is a bad monopoly. It is to decide just what the corporations shall do, what profits they shall make; and since it regulates their conduct and guarantees their legality, presumably it will fix their profits; pre- sumably, in time, it will fix the prices of com- modities and the wages of employes. That is the logic of it. As the Post-Dispatch has pointed out hereto- fore, this is plutocratic socialism. When the Government permits monopoly and regulates it, it practically guarantees the profits. Under such an arrangement, who would control the Govern- ment? Who-would control the commission to legalize monopoly and authorize its profits? Need the question be asked? Without a doubt the power of Big Business under such an arrange- ment would be supreme. We would have some- thing worse than the “system” overthrown when the Republican party was de- feated. There has been no destruction of business of any kind under Wilson. But we can well un- derstand why the magnates of Big Business, fearing the law, would much prefer to have their conduct, whatever it may be, formally legalized by the authorities at Washington. = ie Se In the next new year, who will be in posses- sion of sot tebeoneno toad = = — a A NEW JERSEY DAMAGE SUIT. A spark from a New Jersey Central locomotive fell in the eye of Miss Julia Purebsky of Bay- onne, burning off the ends of five eyelashes. She entered suit against the road for $500, but the case was compromised on payment of $200, or $40 for each eyelash. On this basis, what ruinous burdens in cost might not be imposed for the destruction, under circumsances involv- ing liability, of such a set of whiskers as adorn First Chief Carranza? Or the whiskers of the Rev. Jenkin Lioyd Jones, who succeeded to the leadership of the Oscar II's pleasant party of pacificists and whose set is said to eclipse even the luxuriant magnifi- cence of the Carranza regalia? = = i ie —— begin to wig-wag some peace sig-| nals. : = = = wo BOY SCOUTS AND PREPAREDNESS. The case of the returned pilgrim against the which was merchant of Bagdad was so much talked of in the city that even boys made a game of it. Coming back after wanderings of seven years to Mecca and other places, Ali Khwajah made a demand on the merchant of Bagdad for the jar containing a thousand pieces of gold covered over with sparrow olives which he had left in the merchant’s care on departing. The jar was handed over, but was found to contain nothing but sparrow olives. The gold had disappeared. With greater vehemence than even that of the pilgrim did the merchant swear before the Judge that, asked to keep a jar of olives, he had re- turned it. in the same security in which it had been received. The Kazi pondered this conflict in testimony and dismissed the case. For could not both stories be true? Admitting that gold was there, could it not have been abstracted by other than the merchant? Now this was in the days of the wise Caliph Harun Al Rashid of imperishable memory. Won- dering whether exact justice had been done in the puzzling case, as he strolled the strects one night in his famous disguise, the Caliph suddenly came where urchins were re-enacting the trial of Khwajah versus merchant before a boy Kazi seated on a soap box. But the trial did not stop at the point where the adult Kazi had stopped fk. “Bring the jar,” commanded the Boy Judge. And the jar, being brought in make believe, was declared to contain, not moldy sparrow olives of seven years’ decay, but fresh sparrow olives of that year’s picking, whereupon the urchins had . sport belaboring the lying pseudo defend- a had before the Caliph Tal, was sent awny to be banged Thus, obser- | vation of boys at play aided justice and even increased the renown of so glorious a Caliph as Harun Al Rashid. | Perhaps those whose observation has impressed defense have found a suggestion of value. These bovs are not only taught helpfulness, chivalry, obedience, but without emphasizing the martial spirit, are taught self-defense, the care of them- selves ‘in the open, the use of tools, self-reliance. These are all qualities most valuable in those called on to defend the country. a — a The nearest star is fortunate in being so far away. Its inhabitants, if it .has inhabitants, built to endure star heat, cannot see what is going on now down here. AN AUSTRIAN SEAMAN’S OPPORTUNITY. The Austrian note on the Ancona, after recital of facts held to exucse the submarine commander, swings around to the American view on a single significant point. The Vienna authorities con- cede that he “omitted to take adequately into consideration the panic that had broken out among the passengers, which rendered difficult the taking to the boats.” Can we read between the lines an expression of regret that this submarine commander neglected a golden opportunity for sustaining those chivalrous traditions among seamen that are a heritage of all maritime peoples? Supposing the commander, on first observing the signs of panic, had gone aboard the Anacona, made a few reassuring remarks to the passen- gers, enforced order with a stern hand among the frightened merchantman crew and directed the launching of the boats. It all could have been done in a very few minutes, before the ‘near approach of the third vessel in the distance that alarmed the com- mander. He could have saved every passenger who sur- vived the first shelling. He could have saved ll eration. A thrill would have gone around the world. The Ancona’s name would be linked with the knighterrantry of the sea instead of with a barbarity. Promotion for the commander could not have been resisted. at Vienna. America, | deeply gratified and without a new Teutonic grievance to absorb energy, would have turned to vigorous measures for checking British infrac- tions of sea law. Austria has cause to be deeply regretful be- cause its commander was a man lacking in vision. Humanity has greater cause to be re- gretful. = = * i ae OUR NATIONAL PLAYGROUNDS. Control of the national parks is now distributed among three different Cabinet departments at Washington. The result is inconsistent policies, delay in making needed changes and an ad- ministration that often is faulty in other re- spects. A bill consolidating under one depart- ment all offices having jurisdiction over these areas will have strong backing in the present Congress. 7 Each of the 100,000 persons whose visits to the parks in the West established a record dur- ing the past summer should be a committee of one to urge its passage. TEN YEARS OF TUBERCULOSIS EFFORT. Results of anti-tuberculosis effort cannot be summarized accurately in terms of valuable lives prolonged, families preserved, children safe- guarded by their natural guardians, service ren- dered to society by those who otherwise would have been numbered among the vittims. But they can be summarized in terms almost as satisfactory that show increasing effectiveness in the work, its enlarging subdivisions to meet exacting needs, the evolution of the specialized brandh of science whose purpose is to combat the scourge. Significant figures on the progress of a decade are these: Amount spent in the work in 1905 $5,000,- 000. Amount spent in 1915 $22,500,000. Support of open-air schools cost $350,000 in 1915, no similar expenditure in 1905 being recorded. ae Anti-tuberculosis associations in 1915 num- bered 1400, which spent nearly $1,225,000 in the tmportant work of organization and edu- cation. Probably less than $100,000 was similarly spent in 1905. . For tubercular insane persons and prisoners $750,000 was spent in 1915. Sanatoria and hospitals: for the tubercular numbered nearly G00 in 1915 and were main- tained at a cost of more than $12,000,000. Tuberculosis is a social disease, and effort to re- strict it is a form of social justice work. Recogni- tion is due it as one form of that vital work in which America is rapidly gaining the intelligence and efficiency claimed for other specialized forms under the Germanic system. As a subdivision of social justice effort the cost is properly being placed more and more on public funds. Of the $5,000,000 expended in 1905 it is estimated that less than 25 per cent was from pub- lic treasuries. In 1915 nearly 65 per cent, or $14,- 600,000 of the total of $22,500,000 was from this source. The great burden oe more equitably distributed when it is made a part of the duty of organized government and the work is given more system- atic attention and greater permanence. = = a ae UNIVERSAL TRUTH IN ARKANSAS POETRY Lazy lawyers make our laws, Mules and niggers raises cotton, The cotton sells for ready cash, Our laws are bad, yea rotten.

EGG.—W. H. Thomsen, the Boone County farmer who won the ham prize at a State-wide meat curing contest, sent the “best ham in Mis- souri” to the executive mansion to await the pleasure of Gov. Major's family. Following this disposal of the “best ham,’ minus the two slices taken by the judges to aii them in their decision, Thomson hag toid the story of this: ham, to help other per- sons make “best hams.” The prize ham was cut from a Duroc Jerse barrow between 8 and 8 months ol It was butchered in December, 1912. The first step in curing was to iet all of the animal heat “cool off" be- fore it was trimmed. Then it Was buried deed in a box of sait. Thomson kept a sharp eye on the weather, for how long the meat was to remain in the salt. If it is wet and chilly the ham will “take” the salt in two or three weeks. If it is cold and dry, it will require six weeks or two months. The ‘prize ham lay buried in the galt for just one month, When the ham was taken out, all the salt was carefully knocked off and it was hung from the rafter of an oli- fashioned emokehouse. Underneath was placed a 4 ah A stove filled with hickory chips. o other wood will do, Thomson will tell, you, These chips were lighted and with all the cracks of the smokehouse closed ham was saturate{ in tightly, the San an was dusted thoroughly with a mix- ture of two parts black pepper and one part red pepper.

Then the ham was wrapped in several thicknesses of paper, put in a cotton sack and hung up await the verdict of the judges at the annual show. he judges examined Thomson's and. 19 other hams closely as to color, ofor, weight an other apparent tests. Then they took two slices from the best of ther and boiled one and fried the other.."That is where I expected to lose,” said Thomson, “for I thought much of the quality of our hams de- pended upen\ the cooking. which I iid not think, could be equaled any- where outside of our home.” The sec- ond prise wemt to J.

SENTIMENT FOR CHANGES Plan Is to Submit Amendments to Charter or Initiate Ordi- nances at City Election. Final count of the referendum vote of Civic League members on the re- vision of St. Louis election laws last week showed: ' 1, For nomination direct by petition of voters, 255, with 2 opposed. 2. For ballot without party names, 20; with 22 opposed. 8. For preferential voting for Mayor, Comptroller and president of the Board of Aldermen, 272; with 12 opposed. 4. Electing the members of the. Board of Aldermen by proportional representation, 243: with op- posed. It is the policy of the Executive Board to refer by referendum to league mem- bers all matters on which there is a difference of opinion. Members are given 15 days in which to register their votes. Upon the expiration of this time, the vote cast determines the league's stand on the issue in question. The referendum was taken at the in- stigation of the league’s Short-Baliot Committee, which has been working on the proposition for some time. An en- abling act was passed by the last Legis- lature, through the efforts of the Short- Ballot Committee, giving St. Louis the right to adopt a new method of nom- inating and electing municipal officers. Right to Abolish Primaries. The passage of the new charter gave the city the right to abolish party pri- maries and substitute in their place nomination by petition, election on a nonpartisan ballot and even the newer devices of popular government, known as preferential voting and proportional representation. | The committee, which is representa- tive of various poitical points of view, has virtually agreed upon the abolition of party primaries and the substitu- tion of nominations by petition, upon election on a nonpartisan ballot and upon preferential voting for the Mayor, Comptroller and President of the Board of Aldermen. Under this plan each voter would mark on his ballot his first, secon, third or other choices. It would re- quire a majority of all the votes cast to elect and, if that majority were not secured on the first choice, it would be secured by adding together the first and second choices or, if necessary, the third or other choices. This plan, which insures a majority “behind any man elected, is in suc- cessful operation in Cleveland, Spo- kane, Grand Junction, Colo., Toledo, Dayton and other cities. Proportional Represéntation. The object of proportional repre- is to make the legislative body as thoroughly representative of the whole community as posible. The committee fs not fully decided upon the best form of proportional repre- sentation. The plan as outlined by the short ballot committee is to submit amend- ments to the charter, or initiate ordinances at the next municipal election, which probably will be a special election in advance of the regular election for Mayor im 1917. The new principles would be in ef- fect then for the mayoralty election. BiG HUNT IN TEXAS FOR ROBBERS’ BURIED TREASURE Amount Believed to Be Hidden in Re- mains of Old Cave Piaced Jan. L—A group of DaNas men have excavated an immense hole in the remains of an old cave near the Buzzard Spring road, near the Wa- hoo Club Lake, in the belief that they are about to find buried treasure.

He leased the land and has often searched for the treasure, A traction engine and other machinerv are now being used in the hunt. The negro woman said that she had once been held captive and forced to cook for a band of highwaymen who made the cave their hiding place and the storehouve for their plunder. The loot was placed in kettles and chests and buried, MEDAL FOR A BANK CASHIER WHO CAPTURED TWO ROBBERS Oklahoman Escaped From Vault, Picked Up a Rifle, Shot Men, Recovered 84000, OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok., Jan. 1- Bankers in this city will send a medal Bankers in thic ity will send a medal! to L.

The Austro-Hungari- an artillery at first dropped a great number of 35.0-centimeter shells into this section to make it impossible for the de- fenders to hold their ground. On the second day a report came that a Serviau division from Obrenovac, about % miles West of Belgrade, was marching to the support of the troops in the city. There- upon the Austro-Hungarian batteries laid their fire further back to curtain off the approaching reinforcements. The destruction thus wrought was most thorough. In the whole section un- der fire there is hardly a single build- ing which was not hit fairly at least once and most of the very few thus un- damaged were crushed by the terrible air wave resulting from'the explosion of the shell from the “thirty-point-five.” One of these great projectiles penetrated four floors and the roof of a building before exploding.. At some points a stench betrays bodies still under the ruins. Most of the damage done in the prin- cipal part of the city dates from a year gr more ago, and is mainly the result of shots fired in answer to occasional shots from the Servian batteries. The damage to the old and new Konaks, the King’s palaces, dates from then. No shots fell in this district during the last bombard ment. One large shell has fallen into the ballroom of the old Konak, but the destruction is not so great as one would expect. A small shell has made a hole into the new Konak, and shrapnel has marked it someavhat. Car Lines in Operation Two trelley lines are in operation in the city, directed and manned by the military. The two drug stores still open are under military direction, with so!- dier-apothecaries in charge. Two or three moving picture shows are also be- ing rum by the military authorities. The proceeds of the drug stores are divided into equal parts, one of which is kent for the owner, in the event that he ever returns to claim it, and the other half is devoted to taking care of the poor ot the city. # About 7000 Servians receive a daily ration from the military authorities. An- otlier 4000 are employed on various pu>- lic works, such as paving, street clean- ing, ete. It is deciared that the city is cleaner than it has ever been before. =: : 98 98 ¥ Y a SS 7 | all but utterly destroyed.

That the country is happily possessed of money is apparent from the response to the last war loan. All classes stocd in line to deposit their savings.

BISPHAM TO IMPERSONATE BEETHOVEN AT ENTERTAINMENT He Will Appear at Liederkranz Club in Playlet Embodying One of Com- posers’s Love Affairs. David Bispham will present his cele- brated impersonation of Ludwig Van Beethoven, the great composer, at an entertainment next Saturday night at the Liederkranz Club. He will appear in a playlet entitled ‘‘Adelaide,”’ built about Beethoven's splendid golo cantata of that name, and embodying one of the composer's numerous love affairs. From all accounts, Bispham its able to bring home to his hearers the intimate life of the composer, with his grandeur of character as well as his almost in- credible eccentricities. Bispham is supported by a competent group of actor-singers. The part of Adelaide, Beethoven's beloved, is taken by Marie Narelle; and. . the other roles are ‘presented by Grace. ‘Gordon, Idelie Patterson, Almon Knowles’and Kath- leen Coman. In addition, Bispham will give a sec- ond playlet. entitled “The Rehearsal,” which takes .place in the home of a hostess giving a musicale, and in which a pianist. a violinist and a soprano, alto. tenor and baritone rehearse the numbers they are about to give in pub- Iic.

However, the real developments in the situation are expected to come Mon- day.

For the attack the Turks had brought with them a large number of small boats, constructed by German mechan- Under cover of their artil- lery, and taking advantage of a fog, the Turks m@de a general attack and succeeded in launching a number of boats, but these were promptly over- whelmed by British artillery fire and none of them ever reached the western bank of the canal. Meantime the Turks were heavily bombarded by a number of British and French warships which had been sta- tioned at intervals along the canal. Fo: their part the Turks succeeded in dis- abling temporarily one of the ships, but their defeat was complete. The next day the British buried some 800 bodies at one point and the total loss of the expedition was estimated at above 10,000. One more attack the Turks did make. This was little more than a demon- stration against the final stretch of the canal, between the Bitter Lakes and the Gulf of Suez; but this was easilly beaten off. After a very brief delay the whole expedition took to its heels and flied back across the desert. So. much for the first failure. Ex- amining the map, it ts plain that the new attack, if it comes, will be di- rected either against the Tusum-Sara- peum front or else to the north between the Balai and Timseh lakes, because a successful attack at either point would cut the railroad and isolate the balance of the force defending, the front. In their first attack the Turks dis- closed few heavy guns and were ac- tually defeated by the heavy artillery of their foes. It may be expected in any new attempt they pill be pro- vided with very heavy German artil- lery, and that one of the purposes of enero —_ | their attack will be to destroy the 2 eee: ie wae | NEW YORK BROOKLYN NEWARK hi £2 SVAOM 2 ? 929% % 7 PHILADELPHIA PITTSBURGH ST.

While the through traffic with the Hast, with India and China, would have to go by the Cape route, involving an extra 6000 miles of steaming, there would still be open the railroaaé and river route®by the Nile |: and Port Sudan, which would enable the British to move troops to the east or the west, and, if the Suez-Cairo rall-!; road were not destroyed, it would be possible to send them by Alexandria, Cairo and Suez. In point of fact, it fs plain that the Germans have considerably exaggerated the importance of the Suez Canal to Great Britain.

But such a blow will not cut Great Britain eff from the East; it will not imperil the imperial edifice, because there are other roads to India—by the Cape, by Canada and by Panama. From Egypt Britain draws nothing that is vital to her life at home; the colony is purely one of exptottation. Perhaps the] | chief advantage for Germany might be acquisition of cotton if the crop were}: net destroyed by the British. By taking Egypt Germany will deal a heavy blow to British prestige in the East. She will threaten all North Af- rica, and it will be in her power to de- stroy the, great public works that the constructed im Egypt. This will be a very heavy loss for the British; but it will not be such a loss ‘as they would have suffered if the Ger- mans had been able to reach Calais and command the Strait of Dover; it will be]: an injury, but not the sort of injury that makes a nation give up fighting. The more one examines the Suez project the more plainly it seems a desperate venture, dictated by a de- sire on the part of the Germans to obtain possession of something that will enable them to talk peace, not war, with the British. They have French, Belgian, Servian,. Russian territory; they have a basis of nego- tiations with the Italians, but Brit- ain has entirely escaped therm and only through Egypt is there a way of approach left open. British Have Advantage. But what reason is there for Ger- man success here? The British have at their backs a line of railroad par- alleling the canal and a line going to Cairo. They have a base at Alexan- dria, at Suez, at Port Said: They command the Mediterranean and they can bring any number of troops, of munitions, of supplies to Egypt, both from Europe and from Asia, South Africa and Australia. To match the resources of an assall- ';}ant which has to move his troops for 1600 miles over a single-track rail- road and then for more than a hun- dred over a terrible desert the Brit- Tish are able to bring their troops to LER RIGS $6 00,00 04D Specie Arrives From Hugliand Ccn- i i a, BS ag ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH wenn | ~~ pte tame signed te New York Banka.

It is difficult to see how anything but supreme carelessness would give the Turks the smallest chance, British at Gallipoli. Their advance was covered by the fleet; their muni- tions must come from Germany and their water must be shipped across the desert. They will deal with Brit- ish officers used to desert fighting. It is idle to forecast the outcome of the Egyptian campaign, yet it is clear that without difficulty Great Britain can put a quarter of a million troops along the canal, she can Call back her troops at Gallipoli and Solica, if neces- sary, and she has a sure source of aid in her fleet and the ships of her F'rench and Italian allies. Turkey’s Ambition. Turkey, eager to recover the lost Egyptian and Tripolitan provinces, to reconquer Africa, will unquestionably make the campaign gladly; but it is well to remember that practically the whole campaign will have to be made by the Turks. ‘Artillery and officers may be German, engineers and railroad man- agers may be Teutonic, but the majority of the officers and enlisted men will be Turkish, and the supply of Turks, like that of Teutons, is not inexhaustible and heavy Grafts have been made upon the resources by the present and previous wars. Since there Is no other way Germany can attack Great Britain, and she is be- ginning to realize that Britain is the dangerous foe, the Suez attack will probably be made, but it is hardly like- ly to be made in haste. It is, I believe, more of a threat than a serious purpose, The Germans hope that the menace will bring the British te listen to terms of peace that do not carry any immediate loss to Great Britain. If the attempt is made and fails, Germany loses her last lever upon "British opinion; so far as Britain ts concerned, she will have shot her last bolt. like the Balkan adventure, I believe the Egyptian conception is, from the German point of view,’ political rather than military. Perhaps there are Ger- mans who believe that the capture of Egypt would bring Britain to heel, but they are not the men in charge of Ger- man military affairs. Yet the effect upon the world of the "menace already has been considerable. It opens new horizons to the German public, whose hatred of the British has grown fn re- cent months as the immunity of Britain wih injury has been more and more fated. "Bat Egypt, ifke the Balkans, is essen- tially a sideshow. The war mist be won in Flanders and Poland. Napoleon discovered his mistake tn Egypt and returned to France. He was carried away by a dream as romantic as the present Teutonic conception, but he gave it up soon.

Public opinion, in its military ideag, has followed the sensational incidents of the war. One day one branch has seemed triumphant, the next another. When the Queen Elizabeth fired . ‘her| 2000-pound shells over the hills of Gal- lipoli past the weak little Turkish bat- teries, everybody said that the United States must immediately construct guns of still more powerful range for de- fense. But the Elizabeth could not fire army corps ashore at the same time and hold what she had taken. She belonged with the grand fleet and not running around by herself firing shells into the landscape of Asia Minor and running the risk of being hit by the submarines. Again, when a submarine got the Abou- kir, the Crecy and the Hogue in the North Sea, everybody said it was time to build submarines. All wars would be settled by submarines in the future. Battleships were obsolete. Meanwhile the real experts had not changed their minds. After the Aboukir lesson ths British took care that their cruisers were not exposed as such an easy target to the submarine again. Submarine Exceeds Expectations. The submarine, like the aeroplane, has done more than was expected of it. It is the assassin, the guerilla of the seas. But in its present development it cannot protect the passage of a single one of the merchant steamers that flies its own flag, or of a single cruiser or battleship if outgunned by the enemy’s. It cannot even drive the .other fellow’s merchant ships off the seas as long as he has a superior navy. For goods and men don’t go under the sea when they travel, but on the surface. “As long as they do, the important thing to com-, mand is the surface of the sea and not the region of the starfishes. The British have double the number of submarines of the Germans. They have navigated them to the Baltic and to the Sea of Marmora. In the Baltic they have made it uncomfortable for German shipping; and on the Marmora they have got some Turkish transports. But, in general, they have lacked tar- gets. There have been no German ships out anywhere except in the Baltic. An enemy's submarines would not bother our merchant marine much because we practically have none. Submarines are not of the slightest use against a fleet inside a harbor. Both the British and German fleets are safe in their anchor- hases from the submarine’s attack, thanks to their precautions. A . sub- marine poking its nose round the nets at the harbor’s mouth will be unlucky if it finds an opening in the first net. Then it will be caught between the first and the second, and will have to come up and surrender or stay down and drown. And now under Work of the Mine. In defense, the submarine’s little hell brother to the mine. The mine waits with its explosive till a ship comes. sut the submarine takes its mine away with it. The two can protect ‘almost any harbor, if you have enough of them. The longer the coast line we have to 4defend the more important both sea- planes and submarines to our navy.

But that army can- not land until our navy has been bot- ted up, until it is able to guard its transports against our submarines and bombardments by bombs from our sea- planes. The British have wept the channel free for their transports by making a barrier from France to England in the shallow water of the channel which no submarine could pass. But such a bar- rier is difficult in an open roadstead. Whenever there is one submarine at large, all transports and merchant ship- ping are imperiled, unless fully pro- tected by destroyers and seaplanes— which we lack. The effective use of th- German submarines at Gallipoli has proven this. But you must have sub- |] marines which can go to sea; they must have long cruising ranges. We have one of this kind building. Others were authorized a year ago, but the. bids for them have not yet been opened-- and ig all business and private affairs we are noted for our speed and enter- prise. The other submarines we have, if they go to sea too. often, have to be brought ‘back in tow. They would be useful for local harbors, but not for patrolling the Caribbean or the Atlan- tic sea lanes. The Germans’ subma- rines are an offensive force. They keep/ to the sea for three weeks, which ac- counts for their success. They carry small guns, which are effective enough to hold up any merchant steamer or any unarmed transport. As an enemy on the Atlantic is bound to. strike for the Panama Canal and our control of the Caribbean, we must have thoroughly prepared submarine and seaplane bases at Guantanamy, Panama and Colon, ’ and also at Ha- waii and in the Philippines, if we are to defend our Pacific possessions. The mere fact of their existence will be proveutive, for the enemy will know the danger that awaits him if. he attempts aggression. Nations do not undertake war these days without counting their chances of success. As submarine crews cannot be trained in a day to the mechanical work of the complicated box of machinery under wa- ter, we must have adequate personnel. No seaman’s work is so trying as that of the submarine’s crew. It represents an undescribable hardship in confine- ment. The Germans who herve gone out ‘SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 2, 1916. from Zeebrugge and Kiel to spend three weeks in the steel envelopes did not know what minute the sides would cave in from the enemy’s blow and they would all go to the bottom, their fragile house their graves. Submarine cruising requires nerves and loyalty and endur- ance required by no other branch of the military service. Submarine crews can- not be hastily prepared as aviators may. They must be. ready when war comes. So must our seaplanes and plants for building and repairing, if we are to have an adequate, well-rounded navy. Whether the future war is in the air and under the water is something which only time will decide. the United States must keep up-to-date. It must not be taken by surprise by an enemy who has the latest type of weap- ons while our own are. archaic.

LONDON, Jan. 1.—There are at least 10,000 miles of trenches now tn the west- ern theater of the European war, ac- cording to H. Warner Allen, special cor- respondent of the British press with the French army. He writes: “In the section of the French lines that I have just been visiting there are already, on a front of just over 10 miles, 875 kilometers (or slightly more than 234 miles) of tre»ches. To make certainty still more sure, another 75 kilometers (or 44 miles) of trenches are being dug. Elsewhere a certain divi- sion has 20 miles of trenches to look after, while a certain corps d’armee has 450 miles. “Taking these figures into considera- tion, one will certainly be under the mark in estimating that there are 20 miles of trenches to every mile of front, so that between Switzerland and the }North Sea _ the British and French armies have at least 10,000 miles of trenches to guard and keep in order.” In the meantime, | ne oe WATER IN BRITISH HOSPITAL Inflated Rubber Mattresses Used for Patients Unable to Bear so ‘Pain of Injuries. CAMBRIDGE, England, Jan. 1.— A ward in which the patients sleep on inflated rubber mattresses half submerged in tubs filled with warm water is the latest feature of the famous open air military hospital situated here. It was found that many of the patients arriving at the hospital had such terrible wounds that they were unable to bear the pain, and as the constant administration of, opiates retarded their progress, it was de- cJded by Col. Griffiths to provide a bath ward where the bad cases could spend their entire time in the water. The water, which is kept flowing os WOUNDED MEN LIE IN TUBS OF Bet ak pret ie Se ig a ts | through the tub. is maintained at a temperature of 100 degrees. By a system of slings the patient lies on a rubber ma&ttress with his entire body under water, only his head showing above the level of the bath. A casual observer passing through the ward would never know the patients were in a tub. The head is in sight occupying an ordinary pil- low and the figure seems to be cov- ered by the conventional hospital blanket. However, when the flap is opened the body is seen to be sub- merged in water, but Iring on a rub- ber mattress, which is pronounced absolutely comfortable by the pa- tients. One patient whose thigh had been torn by a shell, has been in a tub continuously for six weeks. Before he was placed in the tub he said that he feared that he was going in- sane from the pain, but during his 1) BREAKS YOUR COLL IN A FEW HUURS-HRY I] “Pape’s Cold Compound” is the Surest, Quickest Relief Known--Tastes Nice, Harmless and is Splendic Relief comes instantly.

She's vowed that nevermore she'll wear a bonnet for two seasons And if for time you have no care she'll give you twenty reasons Why one should always be in style, regardless of expenses, And in her eye you'll see no guile, or hint of false pretenses. We think it was that set of furs that caused this uplift psychic Which made that little. mind of hers to do a sort of high kick.

"Twas only yesterday she said, when on the street we met her, She thought her candy tooth was dead, for it was really better To spend one’s coin for useful things like hats and pretty dresses And bracelets, lavallicres and rings; and then she shook her tresses, As if to say that nevermore she’d be an ice cream eater, But brush aside the soda store as if it were a skeeter. We.told her we were glad to hear this vow so economic, Although our countenance, we fear, less serious was than comic, For we are rather hard to fool and know that some time Monday She'll climb again upon the stool and order chocolate sundae.

WESTERN FRONT IS : LIKELY TO DECIDE Looks for Spring Offensive ' Simultaneously Against All Austro - German Ar- A mies, but Does Not Expect End to Come Soon. A high ranking officer of the , United States army, who has fol- lowed developments in the great Buropean war and its eminently qualified to discuss the situation from @mitttary standpoint, has analyzed for thk Post-Dispatch the present ait- uation and future prospects, as fol- | jows: © By a Military Expert. Special to the Post-Dispatch, WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.—As the sait- uation stands today all of the advan- tage is on the side of the Central Powers. Austria-Hungary and Ger- many not only have been able to hold the areas under their control at. the beginning of 1915 but have largely in- creased their holdings. The great question in the minds of military men now is, how long will *’ the Central Powers be able to main- tain their fighting forces at the top- notch of efficiency? j _ The large gains made by the Teu- ‘tons during the year on the eastern front, while holding their lines firmly ‘on the western front, can be attrib- ‘uted to their unfailing supply of re- ‘gerves. The Germans at all times “have been able to fill the gaps in their lines with effective reserves. By effective reserves is meant men of military age and highest physical ef- ficiency. _ The allies, on the other hand, have , greatly lacking in reserves. Fre- quently they could have held their - ~ ground in making gains on the west- ern front had they been able to throw fin reserves.in sufficient numbers. The great weakness of the Austro- Germans, which has not made itself apparent, lies im their supply of men, They cannot much longer fill gaps in ‘their ranks with men of military age ‘and tn the pink of physical condition. ‘Pretty soon their reserves must be If you will do your buying at Vandervoort’s yor are assured of selection from the choicest mer chandise to be had ape you are also sure of th best goods for price .no matter what the price.

Because of th: great prosperity throughout the United States this year, w2 expect that our January Sale of White for 1916 will be by far, the biggest and most successful event of the kind that we have ever held, and we have prepared accordingly. v “4 — ji T | RE RRR SRR — We anticipate an even greater demand for Muslin Underwear this season than for some years past. One reason for this is due to the change in fashion from the narrow skirts of last year to the new skirts which are very wide and full and which will be in great demand. “The Petticoat Swishes In” | In a recent issue of ‘‘Vogue’’ there was an article headed ‘‘The Petticoat Swishes In.’’ It reads as follows: ‘‘Of late years Fashion has gone on the principle, the less of everything the better * * * * * and petticoats have entirely ceased to exist. Many a woman, all through the period when Fashion reduced underthings to the mini- mum, continually sighed for the time when she could have ruffles on her.’’ The article then went on to tell about the many wonderful styles in petticoats designed by Worth, Jenny, Paquin and other equally noted © Parisian dressmakers. See the New Black Camisoles We have prepared not only to meet the increased demand for Pet- ticoats, but fer all other Muslin and Silk Undergarments as _ well, and special attention is called to the new Black Satin and Crepe Camisoles on sale at this time and which are given a strong recom- mendation in the current issue of ‘‘Vogue.’’ See Our Splendid Stock of Muslin Underwear for Misses and Small Women New Sale Prices on Siik, Satin and Domestic Muslin Undergaii.. ius Corset Covers are priced at 10c to $14.50 — Open Drawer Combinations at 98c to $25.00 Silk Camisoles are priced 75cto $3.95 Closed Drawer Combinations, 98clo $6.50 Washable Satin Camisoles at $1.00to $3.00 White Petticoats are priced 48c to $15.00 Black Satin and Crepe Camisoles, $1.75 to $3.00 Knee Skirts are priced at 25c to $11.75 Women’s Drawers are priced 25c to $22.50 Chemises are priced at 25c to $16.50 Envelope Chemises are priced 48c to $11.75 Nightgowns are priced at 48c to $25.00 New, Imported French Muslin Undergarments in the January Sale French Chemises, upward from 75c French Petticoats, upward from $1.98 French Drawers, upward from ~* $1.00 French Nightgowns, upward from $1.50 French Corset Covers, upward from 85c Envelope Chemises, upward from $2.25 Third Floor.

' : + @rawn from older men, men under military age, or men who could not quite come up to a high-grade med- focal examination, but who have a lot of fight in them. When this situation becomes general with the Central Powers a break should come. Ger- man ingenuity may make substitutes for many things, but cannot make substitutes for men. \ Germany's Maximum Strength. Military writers are fairly well agreed that the top notch of German efficiency will be reached in March, 1916, and that from that time on the mighty punch of the Kaiser’s troops will be-gradually diminished by the human equation. The hope of Great Britain and her allies lies right here. While the Cen- tral Powers are passing the highest point of military efficiency, the allies will be only approaching it. Their reservoir of men of military strength is much more extensive than that of the Central Powers. One of the great- est weaknesses of the allies has been and is lack of arms and ammunition for reserves. By March they will be in position to arm hundreds of thou- pands more reserves, all men in the best of fighting trim, who are now under rigid training. However, this does not mean that the war is approaching the end. On the contrary, it is certain to be protracted unless the backbone of the Austro-Ger- mans is broken, and there appears now to be fittle chance of that occurring. They hold great areas of enemy terrt- tory and will be fn position to gradually draw in their lines, if need be, stiffen- ing their power of resistance as their lines are shortened. My judgment has been from the outset that the struggie would be long, and all indications con- tinue to point In that direction. Even a casual glance at the map 2f Europe will show the great advantage inte f : es es : “s ; . oe te ue Fey el MR * ae 4 ; q ¥ ee haa son, and includes chic styles which range in price from | $25 to $285 A Host of New Dinner and Dance Frocks Of prime importance are the Dinner and Dance Frocks, which represent the latest ideas of the cleverest couturieres of Paris and New York.

Furthermore, the Austro-Germans have been able to hold practically all of this vast territory in the east. course, it would have great value for trading purposes. For example, Ger-' many might exchange it in whole or in part for her captured colontes.

It is more likely to be de-| cided on the western front, where Great Britain and her allies continue to pour in reserves in large numbers, than on the eastern front.

If the : war continues indefinitely, as it may, | Russia will be able to arm and equip millions of reserves for whom there are no arms now. Allies May Strike Together. The most probable stroke of the allies inéthe coming spring or sum- mer is a general offensive on all ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH fronts, conducted on a large scale,| making {t impossible for the Austro- Germans to shift large bodies of troops from one front to another. A drive of this character under moé- ern fighting conditions would mean cas- ualties of hundreds of thousands, but if the allies desire to win the war they all the fighting with the exception the deciding factor. So far as menjto develop untold @ emali area in Alsace-Lorraine, be- . - te peice nites eee Russia managed to regain a narrow ee aeeeedeemied but has (Seen on territory of the allies. . _ Om the Eastern Front. Turning to the eastern front, extend- ing from the Baltic to the Rumanian border, a different situation prevailed. The Russians succeeded more than once tn throwing large armeis into Fast Prussia and large and populous cities fer a time were threatened. The south- ern end of ‘the eastern line of the Teu- tons was always the weaker. And Russia sent great armies through the Carpathian passes before the tide was turned against her and the retreat started which resulted finally in the Austro-Germans occupying a large area of Russian territory. A year ago the Germans were still struggling for Warsaw ani the great Austrian fortress of Przemysl was withstanding Russian pressure. In a Vain attempt to save Przemys! and prevent the Russians pouring into Hungary the second attempt to cap- ture Warsaw was abandoned and the , Germans deflected a large army to aid the Austrians. Przemys! suc- cumbeqg finally, but not for long. Here again the question of re- werves, but thie time arms and am- munition rather than men, played the most important role. Had the MNussian army been anything like. as well equipped and supplied as that of the Austro-Germans it probably would not have been driven back through the Carpathians and out of Galicia; to say nothing of the loss of Polan4 and the Baltic provinces. Praises Russian Grand Duke. While Grand Duke Nicholas con- ducted a masterly retreat all along the eastern front, keeping his armies intact and preventing the capture of jarge numbers, nevertheless, the sweep of the Teutons was remark- PIRLS!

But for the entry of Italy into the war the Galician end of the Austro- German line unquestionably would have been thrown far into Russian territory. It was the weakening of the line by the withdrawal of troops to withstan4 the determined attacks of Italy, ‘and later to make the Bal- kan drive, which gave Russia breath- ing spell and enabled the Czar to strengthen both ends of the long bat- tle line. | Gortzia Battle a Real One. From the standpoint of actual ac- complishment, Italy’s chief contribu- tion to the cause of the allies up to date has been in keeping. busy a large Austrian army, running into the hundreds of thousands and pos- Bibly exceeding 1,000,000 by a con- siderable margin. In point of fact, the number of men engaged in the battle raging between the Italian and Austrian troops is unknown. Nevertheless, the part Italy has played and is playing in the war is far from unimportant. It will con- tinue far from unimportant even if her army continues only to fight on its present limited front. Italy can put millions of effective fighting men in the field, and doubtless has mill- ions under arms and in her reserves. The fight for Gorizia is a real battle, raging day and night with great ¥ury. At other points on the Italian front there has been hard fighting and Italy has made considerable gains. Compared with the gains made by the central Powers, however, those of Italy are relatively unimportant. Her principal ecntribution to the allied cause must continue to be in holding a large Aus- trian force at bay. The Dardanelles Mistake. The Dardanelles campaign is another major development of the year and a most interesting one. The Dardanelles may be said to be a key to the war, but not in a conclusive sense. The British Admiralty first attempted to force a passage through the Dardanelles early this year for the purpose of opening up a route to Russian Black Sea ports by which arms and ammunition might be furnished for Russia’s mass of fighting men. It was a great conception, but, of course, a mistake, No naval force could seriously hope to fight its way through the Dardanelles unsupported by land forces. The haval attack was designed to sweep the Turks off their feet and force a passage before they could re- cover their equilibrium. Had it suc- ceeded, this stroke of the British Ad- miralty would have gone down in his- tcry as one of the great naval successes of all time. Officered and trained for several years by Germans, the Turks were amply pre- pared for the attack and made a splen- did defense of the straits. : As to the combined military and naval campaign at the Dardanelles, my per- sonal opinion has been and is that the allies at no time put enough men at the Dardanelles for the job. It was a great task, and a large number of men was absolutely necessary. I believe that if a sufficient force had been landed there the allies could have ysone through the straits. ; Bulgaria of Great Aid, Bulgaria's entry into the War was a decided gain for the Teutons. Bulga- ria’s well-organized and well-handled army, strengthened ultimately without deubt by German equipment, made it possible for the Austro-Germans to blaze a way through Servia and ultimately wipe that little nation off the map. But Servia’s plight today is due in part toa great blunder in the conduct of its cam- paign of defense against the invaders. At the outset of the war Servia had made a very creditable showing, Austria finally withdrawing the bulk of its forces t» protect Austro-Hungarian territory from an invasion by Russia. The blunders in the Balkan camphign were on the side of Servia and the al- lies. King Peter's army was badly ad- vised from the outset of the Austro- German drive, making a determined but. losing fight to keep the Teutons out of Servia rather than defending the Bel- grade-Nish-Saloniki railroad at the ex- pense of a loss of territory that was in- evitable. The net result of Bulgarian co-opera- tion and the blunders of the Servian commanders and their advisers was the elimination of the remnant of the Serb troops from the fighting line. They are now ecattered in Montenegro and Al- bania, nobody knows where. Neither is the number of Serb troops known. The Turkish army is one of the un- certain quantities of the war. What the Turks can do when efficiently of- ficered and equipped with modern ar- tillery and small arms has been amply demonstrated at the Dardanelles. There the Turk has made a good fight. The possibility that a large Turkish army may be sent tnto Egypt under German officers and armed with the same type of equipment is a growing one. There may and may not be good. ground for the report that German engineers are rapidly constructing a double-track railroad to the Sinalt Peninsula for the purpose of facilitat- ing troop movements for such a cam- paign. The report has been so per- sistent that it probably has some foundation in fact. The same thing may be said of the report that 800,000 Turks are being thoroughly trained for an Egyptian campaign. Possible That Egypt May Fall. As to Egypt, an efficiently officered army of .300,000 likely could wrest control from Great Britain. But Great Britain could afford to lose Egypt fer the present better than she could afford to send a large army to face a large Turkish force. On the other hand, Egypt would be of no great value to Germany and Austria. Certainly {it would be of no great mil. g | itary value in helping them to win this war, which is the thing they St. | most desire.

Unconscious that he is a superman, be- lieving merely that his achievements are due to the fact that he has worked harder and longer than other men, he stands forth above all men of all times, a rugged, intellectual giant, quite unaware of his own gigantic mental stature.

» =e iS — —_ WEBER & FIELDS ND WARFIELD ON "WEEK'S PLAYBILS New Belasco Play, ‘Van der Decken,’’ Comes to Olympic Tomorrow Night. Pavid Warfield, playing at the Olympic Theater; Weber and Fields, aoing the twice-a-day at the Colum- bia, and Frank Moulan, reviving “The Sultan of Sulu” at the Park, will fur- this week's chief theatric.1 di- versions. Because of some “jam” in booking arrangements, the Shubert finds itself without a bill. “Van Der Decken,” in which War- field ts to appear, is a David Belasco production, and several of the Be- lasco devices in realism appear, such as the use of a great sail for > cur- tain, and a novel storm-at-sea scene. The drama, described as a legendary play of the sea, is based on the story of the Flying Dutchman, and “Van Der Decken’’ was captain of the fa- bled specter-ship which was once supposed to haunt the waters around the Cape of Good Hope. The play had its first presentation in Wash- ington, Dec. 7, and is scheduled to reach New York next season. The Weber and Fields, who head the Columbia's vaudeville bill tomorrow are, the management gives assurance, ‘Joe and Lew themselves.” Their act inevudes some of their best known feats in fun-making, such as the pool- table scene and the statuary scene. Han Ping Chien, Chinese wizard, has second place on the bill. ‘The Sultan of Sulu” is properly classed as one of the results of the Spanish-American war, along with the taking of the Philippines, tuo em- balmed beef scandal and the Dewey gift house. If there had been no war, Géorge Ade would never have writ- ten the play, and Frank Movlan would never have created the role of Ki-Ram, Sultan and cocktail-tester, which he is to resume at the Park ee ae em ne Rema ee HAVE COLOR INYOUR GHEEKS Be Better Looking—Take Olive Tablets. nish mae or oe If your ekin ts vellow—complexion pallld—tongue coated—appetite poor— vou have a bad taste in vour mouth—e lazy. no-mood feeling—you should take Olive Tablets, Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—a subst!- tute for calomel—were“prepared by Dr. Fdwards after it years of study with his patients.

Others are “Between Men,” a Western drama; Weber and Fields in “The Worst of Friends,” and an ‘aeroplane comedy.

The war film, “On thé Firing Line With the Germans,” will be displayed at the Garrick Theater for a second week, beginning yesterday. The pic- tures are shown daily from 11 a. m. to 1l p. m. The pictures are realistic within the German lines, Park Theater Announces Piny-Writ- ing Contest for $100 Prize On the theory that everyone who writes at all has written at least one play, the Park Theater Company expects to receive a large collection of dramas, comedies and farces in its play contest, which is now open, and which will close March 15. The prizes offered are $100 and $50, and it is promised that both the first and second prize winning plays will be produced by The Players, and that New York managers will be in- vited to bestow the “once-over” on them. Plays of all types, grave and gay, will be received, and the awards will be made with an especial view co timeliness for immediate production. Matt Hanley, robust comedian of the Park Opera Company, who played the Fairy Queen role in “Jack and the Beanstalk,"’ at the Shenandoah last week, was hampered in his work for two days by a sprained ankle. The sprain was caused by a too sudden de- scent from a tree trunk, from which the “queen” had to review the subordinate fairies. HUNGARIAN DIET HAS BILL TO RECOGNIZE MOSLEM RELIGION Certain Civil Rights Which Moham- medans Have Been Denied to Be Given to Them. BUDAPEST, Jan. 1.—The Moslem religion will be legally recognized in Hungary if a bill introduced by the Hungarian Minister of Justice. is en- acted into law by the Hungarian diet. The bill has been presented to the house and there is no question that it will be acted upon favorably. In addition to giving the Moslem re- ligion every right enjoyed by any other recognized faith in Hungary, the pro- posed law will also permit the teaching of Mohammedan dogma and the found- ing of Moslem religious institutions so far as they are not in conflict with the existing laws. While Mohammedans in Hungary have in the past enjoyed full liberty of con- science, they were as yet deprived of certain civil rights which function- aries of other recogni#@d creeds ex- ercised. The bill now before the dict effaces some of these inabilities auto- matically, as soon as it becomes law, while others are removed by express provisions.

LL A AO a CT ER a tty peyote —— ae ANURIC! The Newest Discovery in Chemistry. o--_ This is a recent discovery of Doctor Pierce, who is head of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buf- falo, N. Y. Experiments at Dr. Pierce’s Hospital for several vears proved that there is no other elimina tor of uric acid that can be compared to it. For those easily recognized symptoms of inflammation—as back- ache, or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, it is simply won- derful how surely ‘‘Anuric’’ acts. The best of results are always ob- tained in cases of acute rheumatism in the joints, in gravel and gout, and invariably the pains and stiffness which so frequently and persistently accompany the disease rapidly disap- pear, Go to your nearest drug store and simply ask for a 50-cent package of ‘*Anuric’’ manufactured by Dr. Pierce, or even write Dr. Pierce for a free sample. If you suspect kidney or blad- der trouble, describe your symptoms to him. Dr. Pierce’s chemist will ex- amine it, then Dr. Pierce will report to you without fee or charge. NOTE:—‘‘ Annric’’ is thirty-seven times more active than lithia in elimi- nating uric acid, and isu harmless but reliable chemical compound that may be safely given to children, but should be used only by grown-ups who actu- ally wish to restore their kidngys to Resolved: That I will smoke the MERCANTILE CIGAR exclusively in 19° Because— It’s pure, mild and fragrant. speaks ALL Havana. frippery or fancy bands—ALWAY Its aroma b without ° t It's same high quality—the day-in and day-o!

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, Dec 2%.—No one with knowledge of the strengwth of the rival armies and of the reserves of men and money behind them can doubt that the final stage of the war is drawing rap- idly nearer. In Germany and tn Austria the signs of financial and e@onmic exhaustion are unmistakable, while the financial re- serves of the allied powers are now only being assembled.

It is true that the French and Brit- ish Governments have placed a loan of $500,000,000 in the United States, but Great Britain’s participation in this loan was for the purpose of providing credits for the allied armies. To meet her own expenditures Great Britain has not needed to raise any foreign. credit. Has Needed No Foreign Credit. To meet her own expenditures Great Britain has not needed to raise any for- eign credit. So far Great Britain has been able to meet the whole of her im- mense war expenditures entirely out of her own income, and her vast stock of accumulated wealth which she possessed at the commencement of the war is still intact. Since the war began Great Brit- ain has supplied her allies and her/for- eign cutomers with something like $2,-. 000,000,000 of new capital and of this amount about $1,500,000,000 has been sup- plied in the current calendar year. This is the task that caused Great Britain to draw in from abroad a _ substantial amount of floating capital and to release | some of her American investments. In brief, the war expenses of Great Britain have been met so far entirely out of in- come, while her loans to allies have merely necessitated the exchange of a very small portion of her foreign in- vestments. Apparently the $1,500,000,000 of money lent to her allies have been found by calling upward of $1,000,000,000 of floating capital and by selling less than $2,000,000 of American securities. In a period of peace the British nation in 18 months would have spent about $1,- 600,000,000 for Government purposes, whereas it haa spent $9,500,000,000 since the war began. Of this sum, however, about $2;000,000,000 have been lent to colo- 1 nies and allies. Excluding this invest- ment the expenditure has been §$7,500,- 000,000 in 18 months and about $6,000,000,000 in the 12 months to the end of January, 1916. If from this total one deduots the normal expenditure of $1,000,000,000, one reaches the conclusion that Great Brit- ain has spent $5,000,000,000 upon war alone : in the current 12 months, without having to trench upon her accumulated wealth. Prosperity for the People. Of course, the British people had to ap- ply to war purposes the whole of their new savings, which normally amount to about $2,000,000,000 a year, but they have not needed to realize their investments. The proceeds of the securities they have sold and the capital they have called in have been employed for capital purposes in the construction of houses, factories, etc., and in loans to allied countries. The mass of the British people in tho first 18 months of war have spent money even more generously than usual upon food, clothing and luxuries, and yet the nation’s capital has not been reduced, but remains at about §85,000,- 000,000, Moreover the amount of the nation’s capital invested abroad has been only slightly reduced. Before the war it was over $20,000,000,000, and now it ts just about that figure. Great Britain has rather less capital in the outlying parts of the world and in the United States, but more tn France, Italy and Russia, In considering Great Britain's rate of expenditure at the present time it !s essential to note that it is somewhat less than it seems to be. In the early days of the war a great deal of money was borrowed from bankers for vari- ous purposes, but since July these ad- vances have been in process of repay- ment. Moreover, from the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer it is apparent that he does not expect cur rent expenditures to reach $26,000,000 per day until the end of March next. Probably fn 1916 the aggregate gov- ernmental expenses of the British peo- ple will be nearly $25,000,000 per day or $9,000,000,000 a year and that about $3,000,- 000,000 of this sum will consist of loans to allies and colonies, whereas in 1915 the governmental expenditures are about $7,500,000,000, of which $1,500,000,000 is money lent to allies and colonies. In the $20,000,000,000 of foreign and colonial securities which Great Britain possesses as well as in her ability to employ her own credit, she possesses the means of paying for all the goods she needs to purchase abroad for a very long time to come. Moreover, if this fund of securities and of credit be supplemented by substantial eco- nomics in domestic expenditure by the whole of the British people, not only could no limit be placed on the possible war expenditures of the country tn «4 given year, but no limit could be placed upon the period of time over which these war expenditures could be main- tained. The policy hitherto pursued by the Government in fi the war created a degree of well | the working classes of this country such as oy have never enjeyed, In- j Williams = Sixth and Franklin — ) “Our Location ga Saves You Money” 9% Boys’, Our Finest Dresses Stunning evening and after- s noon models that were priced up to $45, on sale in one im- mense underpriced group........ $20 to $25 Silk Evening and Party Dresses Ladies’, is Eagle Stamp Books Redeemed— ¥ $2.50 merchandise, $2.00 cash. § cnitdren’s Storm, Only downtown exclusive Shoe Store giving Eagle Stamps. : 3 C All Day Bp pouble Eagle Stamps woos; Monday “High-Top Boots” FPashion’s latest de- cree for short skirts; black dull kid lace, patent cloth-top lace, patent cloth top but- ton; usual $4 values, i “Gypsy Boots” $3 and $3.50 Values; Bronze, Blue and Black, button and lace; sizes broken; choice, Dainty models of silk, serge—also Party Dresses (slightly soiled) Closing out all Fur Muffs and Separate Scarfs, values to a reese ee a= .

As an insurance 6x- pert he attracted national attention some two years age with a series of articles on Life Insurance published fa one of the St. Louis daflies. For more than four years he was connected with the Local Agency of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, where he won euch distinction as a personal writer of insurance that he was made General Agent for the New England Mutual Life, from which position he voluntarily resigned to ac cept this appointment. A student of insnrance—a sales- man of the first class and a good manager, he is ¢@x- ceptionally well qualified to fill the duties of his new position, which include the management of the Missouri State Life School of Practical Life Insurance Sales- manship, which means a further broadening of the scope of the school, the establishment of which was tn itself an achievement worth while. Although opened only last October, the school has already been the means of starting a number of worthy men on the road to suo cess. Mr. King’s coming to the St. Louis Agency of the - Missouri State Life, which has taken its place tn the front rank of the great Life Agencies of the country, is but an evidence of the recognition by good Life Underwriters everywhere of the unexcefled service pro vided by the Missour!

JOPLIN, Mo., Jan. 1.—The convention Mere of the Missouri Federation of Com- mercial Clubs, Jan. 1§-19, will be one of the most important business meetings ever held in the State, because it will deal with problems the solution of -which will mean much to the prosperity of the State. : Every commercial @lub, farmers’ club, highway association,: bankers’ associa- tion and other organizations, interested in the commercial prosperity of Mis- sourl, has been urged to send a repre- sentative to the conyéntion. All cities, towns and rural communities have been ee urged to join in a -great co-operative movement under a slogan of “All Mis- sourlans f @& |! Missouri,” so that “all Missourians “®.!] be ‘working for all of Missouri."’ ; What Are the State’s Needs? Development and betterment will be convention subjects.. The meeting will be for the serious consideration of prob- lems and not for the display of oratory er the riding of hobbies. The idea is to find out what are Missouri's needs and Low to meet them. ~ Leaders in the movement consider that it is all right to eulogize imperial Mis- scurl, but better to pitch in and work up the wealth of natural resources of the State. They consider that it is time to do as much as possible in develop- rent, instead of as little as permissible, and that it is time to spend more energy in striving for a higher average in- stead of giving so much energy to boast- ing of the things jn which the State excels. — * Question of the Bull Calf.

BRITISH HELD HIM BECAUSE OF NAME William Lisch on Return Asserts He Was Detained 8 Months as German Suspect. WENT OVER WITH HORSES Declares That He Was Put at Hard Labor; Tells of Slipping a Note to U. S, Ambassador. William Lisch, 32 years old, of 2030 Franklin avenue, has returned to St. Louis after being held, he says, for eight months in British detention camps because his Teutonie name made him appear as a suspicious character to the English police. | This is the story Lisch told a Posi- Dispatch reporter yesterday: “Last spring I wag ‘dead broke’ and went to East St. Loufs looking for work. On April 4 I shipped for New Orleant as a hostler on a fretght train loaded -with horses for the allies. I was to go with the horses to England, where I would get $15 and my return passage home. And I needed that $15. “Bighteen days afterdeaving New Or- leans our steamship, the Antillian, a big ‘tramp,’ landed at a little port 230 miles worth of Liverpoo]. I went to the police station to register. I think the town was called Havenmont.

I was al- lowed to communicate with no one. Taken Refore:“Governor.” “When I was brought before the ‘Gov- ernor,’ as the Judge ‘was called, he told me I was suspected of being a German, and that a jury would try me to see if I should be detained. The jury looked “at me and said I looked German. The spectators were asked to look at me They told the ‘Governor’ that I looked German. Thon three women sitting in court were asked what they thought about it. They said the same. And the jury decided that I had to be held. “They sentenced me to two months’ hard wotk in Preston Prison, and from there I was to go to a detention camp. In prison Ivwas given the job of making js mattresses a day. .One day I couldn't mattresses fast enough, so they put me in solitary confinement for three days, with a biscuit fp day as food. “When I got out of ‘solitary’ I again hezged to be permitted to write the American Consul or Ambassador. "We don’t allow German spies to do ihat,’ 1 was told. I demanded it. They neain refused. Then that night two guards came into my cell armed with a pisce of rubber hose filled with lead, and beat me antil I dropped down on yy knees and prayed to God to gave me. But they just laughed at my pray- - ers, and said that I got what a spy de- verved, le “After eight weeks there I was sent to the detention camp at Handforth, Cheshire. There were 2,689 Germans de- tained there. Some were captured sol- diers, some sailors who had served on the Blucher, which was sunk by the British, and others. were German-Brit- ish. Here they made me work four hours a day mixing concrete. I was told I could not communicate with the American Ambassador, and that I would have to stay there until the end of the — . “So many wounded British were brought back to England that they ed our detention camp for hospital ‘grounds, so all of us were sent tc ‘Knockaloe, on the Isle of Man.

They put me in solitary confine- ment for that—l4 days—and two hours each day I was handcuffed standing be- side a post. . “After that treatment I was willing to go back to work.

We had only one blanket apiece, and it was mighty cold. f “One day a sealed letter from the Bo mesmagnrged came to me. The ‘gov- p didn’t dare break after I read it he wanted ald.

The : WORK BEGUN ON NEW HOME OF POST-DISPATCH FIRST MINUTE OF NEW YEAR Wreckers Clearing Ground at Northeast Corner of Twelfth and Olive Streets—Building to Be Finished About Jan. 1, 1917. Work on the site of the new Post-Dis- patch Building, at the northeast corner of Twelfth and Olive streets, began t 12:01 o’clock yesterday morning. * At that moment, while New Year’s bells were ringing and whistles were blowing a gang of wreckers attacked the two-story brick Culver Building, whieh occupies the lot. By the terms of its 99-year lease, the Post-Dispatch came into: full possession of the property on the first minute of the year 1916. That literally not a min- ute might be lost in building its new home, the Post-Dispatch required, in its contract with the Jacob Schaefer Wrecking Co., that Schaefer's men! should be ‘“‘on the job” 60 seconds after midnight. And they were there. The wreckers’ work will be prelimi- nary: to the erection of the eight-story steel, stone and concrete home of the Post-Dispatch, which is to cost, with its furnishings and plant equipment, about $1,000,000, exclusive of ground value. The building, of the monumental type, will be the most thoroughly mod- ern of American newspaper buildings, and will be among the largest and most commodious of such structures. It is to be occupied about Jan. 1, 1917, and its construction will be the most notable improvement of the year in St. Louis. Picture in Rotogravure Section. A full-page picture of the new build- ing, as planned by the architects, Bar- nett, Haynes & Barnett, appears in the rotogravure section of today’s Post- Dispatch. Three weeks are allowed for the wrecking of the Culver Building, the wreckers being under contract to finish their task Jan. 21. The work of exca- vation will then begin immediately, and a period of six weeks is allowed for this work. For the entire area of the lot, which has a frontage of 126 feet 9 inches on Twelfth street and 100 feet 3 inches on Olive, the excavators will go to a depth of 19 feet, and for an area 50 by 70 feet, trey must dig to a depth of 37 feet, to provide for a sub-basement. The Cul- ver Building has only a small and shal- low basement. With the end of the excavators’ work, early in March, the sinking of caissons will begin. There will be 48 caissons, carrying the foundation of the building te bed rock. A test caisson has shown bed rock to be 51 feet below the sur- face. At 4 feet a 4-foot layer of quick- sand was encountered. arly in April the arrival of structural steel is expected to begin. The orders for steel approximate 1400 tons, exclu- sive of ornamental iron. The final building plans will be ready early in March, and when they are in hend, the work of construction of the huilding proper will proceed. This work is expected to begin by April 1. The architects, Barnett, Haynes & Barnett, were the architects of the New Cathe- dral, Hotel Jefferson and the American Annex Hotel. H. H. Humphrey is con- sulting engineer. Five Stories for Post-Dispatch. Of the eight stories of the new Post- Dispatch Building, the first five, with basement and sub-basement, will be oc- cupied by the Post-Dispatch, except that, on the first floor five stores will be offered for rent, three of them front- ing on Twelfth street, at the north end of the building, and two on Olive, at the east end, and that a few rooms on the Olive street side of the second floor aiso will be rented. The sixth, seventh and eighth stories will be rented. As the building is de- signed to meet not only the present, but the future needs of the Post-Dispatch, it was decided to leave a liberal margin of space for future growth, and the three upper stories, which the Post-Dis- patch may one day occupy, represent this margin. These upper floors are built to bear much greater loads than the usual commercial floor load. Each floor has a surface area of 12,600 square feet. The foundations and the steel con- struction will be of sufficient strength to sustain four more stories, and it is expected that these will ultimately be added, making the building’s fina: height 12 stories. Minor changes in the exterior architecture of the seventh and eighth stories will be necessary when this is done. The height of the eight-story struc- ture from the sidewalk to the top of the stone balustrade surround- inr the roof, will be 140 feet. This is equivalent to the height of most ili-story buildings. This un.- usual height is due to the desire to provide the amplest ventilation on every floor. The height of the first. story ceiling will be 21 feet 9 inches, that of the second, sixth and sev- enth stories 13 feet, the third 15 feet, the fourth and eighth 16 feet, and ‘the fifth 14 feet. The most modern ventilation devices will be used, to insure the fullest benefit from this construction. Gallery fer Visitors. The basement, 19 feet deep under al! the building, will contain the press. room @nd the stereotype casting room. There will be a suspended gal- tery, for visitors, accessible from the first floor, from which the great presses and the stereotyping machin- ery can be seen In operation. This visitors’ gallery will be the chief show-place of the building. Itt will furnish, on a larger scale, the spectacie which has been furnished for the last 14 years by the Post. Dispatch color press, in the north window of the present Post-Dispatch building on Broadway, The gallery will be large enough to accommodate froups of school children and dele- fations of visitors to the city, who will have the opportunity for a leis- urely view of the most interesting part of the mechanical processes of a Sreat modern newspaper. Still another plan for showing these processes to the public is now under consideration by Architect George D. Barnett. He is working on a design for a system of periscopes, by which persons on the sidewalk outide the building may look into the pressroom and stereotyping depart- ment. The basement will also provide Space for the storage of paper. This storage space will include a meézza- nine gallery, convenient for the re- quirements of modern octuple press- es, and the total storage capacity will be 800 tons of paper, enough to meet the requirements of the Post-Dis- patch for more than two weeks, at the present rate of use. Hydraulic sidewalk elevators, for lowering and raising the rolls of paper, will be provided. Duplicate Power Plants. The sub-basement, occupying more than one-fourth the area of the base- ment, and having a depth of 18 feet below the basement, will contain the power plant, engines, dynamos, boil- ers and pumps. It will bg equipped for supplying all the heat, light and power required in the building. The equipment will be in duplicate, so that in case of a breakdown of the part in use at any time, the service can continue unimpaired. The first floor will contain the business office of the Post-Dispatch. There will be two entrances. One, the principal entrance to the building and the Post-Dispatch business office, will |- be on Olive street, in the center of the 100-foot frontage. The other entrance will be at the center of the building, on Twelfth street. Three passenger eleva- tors will face the Olive street entrance, about 60 feet back from the building line. For the business office's use, a space of 3000 square feet Will be fin- ished in marble, and bank fittings will t installed. The freight and freight- passenger elevators will be in the north- east corner. The mailing room, with a floor space of 7000 square feet, will be situated on the first floor, at the rear of the business office, and in a mezzanine floor. It will be over the pressroom, so that the printed papers can be conveyed vertically from the presses to the mailing tables. Papers for local circulation will be carried by automatic “travelers” to the alley. On the second floor, the accounting departments will have their quarters, including the circulation, auditing and classified advertising divisions. The storerooms, file rooms and vaults will also be on this floor. The width of two spans across the Olive street front. will be partitioned into sales- rooms, which will be offered for rent. Editorial Department on Third Floor, The third floor will be occupied by the editorial department. This will be one large room, with no dividing compart- ments except for an editoria! confer- ence room and for the space to be occu- pied the Post-Dispatch leased wires, the wires of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph Companies and the Associated Press. The latter space will be shut off to deaden the noise made by the telegraph instruments. A large space has been set apart for the li- brary and “morgue,” or record room, but this will be divided from the rest only by railings. The editorial writers will occupy iat space along the Olive street side of the building, and the news and art depart- ments will have their allotment. on the Twelfth street side. The fourth floor will be the compos- ing room, and will be occupied by the linotype machines, the stereotype mold- ing machinery and the job printing and mailing list departments. The fifth floor will accommodate the photo engraving department, it being planned to install the rotogravure presses and print the rotogravure picture section on this floor. The total floor space of the building, basement and sub-basement, including mezzanine floors, is 128,130 square feet. Of this total, the Post-Dispatch will oc- cupy, for its own use, 85,565 square feet. Every Safety Precaution. The whole structure will be of stand. ard fireproof construction, with inclosed fire escapes inside the building walis at the extreme northeast corner. A Stair- way will be behind the passenger ele- vator shaft, from the first floor to the top of the building, inclosed in solid walls with fire doors. The doors and window casings, through the building, will be of metal construction. Special ventilation devices for keeping uniform temperature, for cooling the building in summer and for distrib- uting the heat equally in the winter will be installed on the different floors The lighting system will be the best that can be provided after a special study, with a view to protecting the eyes of employes in all departments. There will be shower baths throughout the building, for the use of employes, and the plumbing throughout will be of the highest type of modern canita- Ltion. In its exterior architecture, the bulld- ing is of monumental character.

OTHERS QUARANTINED Prize Bull, Valued at More Than $1000, One of the Animals Condemned. A self-invited inspection of his herd of Holsteins cost Louis A. Spies of 3007 Hawthorne boulevard, St. Louis, © be- tween $7000 and $10,000. Spies, who ‘s president of the St. Louis Union Dairy Co., is a member of the National Hol- stein Association, and his cattle at the Calla Lily farm at St. Jacob, Ill., have been ordered decimated by the State authorities. In “accordance with his custom of keeping the stock in the best of condi- tion Spies last week asked for a State inspection. Assistant State Veterinari- an D. L. Travis of Vandalia was sent to make the tests. He examined the {4 animals in the herd and pronounced 51 of them tubercular. All but 18 of these were ordered killed at once, and the remainder were put under observation on the A. Lockman farm, four miles south of St. Jacob, where they will be kept in strict quar- antine until their future condition may be accurately determined. The head of the Spies herd, a prize bull valued at more than $1000, figured last summer in a national controversy on a question of registry, in which, aft- er a hearing occupying several weeks, Spies’ contention as to the animal was upheld by the courts. This was one of the 38 animals ordered killed. 69 LYNCHINGS LAST YEAR, INCREASE OF 17 OVER 1914 Georgia Led With 18, According to Tuskegee Records; Three Women on List.

A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and the New York World. (Copyright. 1915, by Press Pub. Co.) COPENHAGEN, Jan. 1—An_ eight- course dinner with six different wines in celebration of the New Year evoked mild enthusiasm for ‘the boys in the trenches’”’ among the Ford peace party. Just now, however, the members of the peace party are more concerned in the dangers of getting through the mine- strewn North Sea to The Hague than they are in trench conditions ‘“‘some- where in France’’ or anywhere else. The American diplomatic representatives have definitely and finally declined to extend passports to include Germany. About one-third of the members of the expedition, the majority of whom are students, will leave the party at Copenhagen. The remaining members of the party, about 100 Americans, are going to The Hague. The reason as- signed for the students’ action is that it was thought undesirable for them to take the risk of a voyage through the North Sea. The plan now is for Gaston Plaintiff, the personal representative of Ford, to charter a ship and hoist the authorized peace flag of the organization, which consists of a pair of muscular arms emerging from a sea of red, breaking a sword of the gladiator type In half, with sheafs of wheat on one side and taurel and oak leaves on the other. When the flag is up, the idea is to steam for The Hague, taking chances on the mines. Many Highly Nervous, Many of the party are highly nervous at the prospects and if the plan is car- ried out it may result in the ‘‘joy-rid- ine’ contingent quitting. If they quit, | and no one is urging them to remain, they will return to America via Chris- tlana or Bergen. The official New Year's dinner of the party was held in a “shooting gallery.” The correspondents and students accom- panying? the party enjoyed the more democratic atmosphere of the National, which is the “Jack’s” of | Copenhagen. New Year's eve was celebrated as wild- ly as in New York, great crowds throng- ing the streets and continuing their fes- tiviities until well along in the’ morn- ing. The peace party dinner was under po- given not to permit the party to leave the hall for fear of the members getting mixed up with the holiday crowds and possibly causing a disturbance. The members did not know of.their intern- ment until after they had been released, when there was much surprise and some dismay. Copenhagen officials are not taking many chances. With the arrival of the party pes the boat from Malmo, Dr. Cook was added to the attractions. He is the same Cook, long-haired, and on his way to America, he Said, after scientific researches in In- dia and Borneo, with Frank P. Thomp- son and his wife and son from Chicago. Cook, who is strong for Henry Ford and the peace party, shook hands with the delegates. ‘He is a great man and the peace par- ty is a noble idea,”’ Cook said. ‘I never plan like all thinking men who want peace.”’ Cook Has New Scheme. He still claims that he beat Admiral Peary to the North Pole and has an idea concerning the commercialization of the Arctic wilderness. "The 4,000,000 miles of unused arctic territory can be utilized to raise fur- bearing animals,”” Dr. Cook said. “This would give territory to millions of peo- ple of the various nations and stop the fighting for elbow room which is the cause of the war.” “Would such a plan bring peace?” he was asked. “Yes, all would be satis- fied with so much room,”’ he answered. Dr. Cook renewed his acquaintance had interviewed him in Brooklyn when he came back from the frozen. North.

By Paul Painleve, French Minister of Public Instruction and War Inventions. To the Editor of the Post-Dtspatch. PARIS, Dec. 21.—This gigantic war is more than afight between the contend- ing armed forces’ of the groups of na- tions partaking in it; it is a conflict of all their energies and resources wherein the intellectual factor is as fmportant as the physical and material ones. I would like the readers of the Post-Dis- | patch to grasp fully its meaning, ita conditions, and its bearings. I submit to them a simile which, to my mind, reflects accurately the situation, and shows conclusively how well grounded is our firm, unwavering conft- dence in the ultimate result. Imagine the counting of votes after an election in which one candidate polls, say, 200 votes to his opponent’s 600; suppose that the candidate who has obtained only 200 votes—the defeated candidate therefore— sees the ballot papers bearing his name come out first from the ballot box, and By careful, assiduous preparations her successes come out first, but ours, though later to come, are none the less certain, and therefore our victory is in- evitabis in the end—when the’ count is completed. Makes Simile Exact To make the simile quite exact I must add that voting continues even while the count is being proceeded with. Our opponents, being at the center, voted first; our votes have been late in com- ing, but they will total a crushing ma- jority. My department, like munitions departments, is one of those concerned with the task of piling up votes. I must admit that we followed the Ger- mang, but now we have drawn level and they will have to, if they can, follow us, It may be impossible for them, be- cause their long and cateful preparation whieh enabled them to forestall us has also brought them to a maximum which we have not yet reached. Germany’s industrial mobilization was prearranged; ours followed a few months after the outbreak of the war. Germany's high developed and organized private industry gave her a big start— for instance, in the matter of asphyxiat- ing and poisonous gas, her chemical tn- dustry stood her in good stead. In the production of chlorine she was far ahead of the rest of the world, and chiorine is the staple of all gases employed in warfare. To this it must be added that our main industrial districts are in the North and Northeast and that their invasion puts us at great inconvenience, while unfortunately increasing the re- sources of our opponents. But as the industrial mobilization must complete the military mobilization com- plete the tndustrial. Ths task concerns specially my department, where we have been concerned with the mobilization of sctentists and of laboratories; all ener- gies, knowledge, talent and inveritive- ness have been organized to work and serve the cause of national defense, Must Keep Secrets T cannot disclose what must essential- ly be kept secret, but I may say we have etudied and are now experimenting with some interesting devices, very interest- ing devices. I cannot tell you more, but I am satisfied. The longer the war. lasts the more ft becomes a war of science and machines and now that we have made up the lee- way we have no reason to regret this novel and extraordinary development of modern warfare. The future, the com- ing year belongs to us. Difficult prob- lems arise daily from the combination of old methods of fighting—some dating as far back as the Remans—with, the most recent and the most deadly in- ventions of modern industry. The feature of trench warfare is.the combination of very old methods with the newest, damaging at great distance as at short distance and in hand-to- hand fighting. Old and new methods are simultaneous, for it is a war, of ttrition and all damage inflicted ‘ug the enemy counts in the result inthe final result, which is a total of means claims victory. That is Germany. The trehch war raises a set of special problems and involves new offensive methods. In 1915 we have multiplied these methods and means of damaging and harassing the foe and their effect is intensified, the coming year, 1916, will be a period of results reaped. These results exist; they are in being, though not yet quite visible and evident; but as they develop their effects will be- come plainer, and in a sense their evi- denes will coincide with victory. Trenck War Probiéms The Department of War Inventions is divided into eight sections: 1. Projec- tiles and armaments. 2. Mechanics and automobile traction. 3. Aeronautics. 4 Physics. 5. Chemistry. 6. Questions re- gpa to trench warfare. 7. section deali with Cece. ng naval matters. Each section comprises a small num- ber of men of sciénce and civil and inilitary technicians, including represen- tatives of the technica] services of the Ministeries of War and Marine. Each Invention which is sent is first sub- mitted to a rapid examination by the ‘commission of inventions, and if it be considered to be Prima facie interest- ing it is then sent to the special section that ig concerned. The invention ° is then intrusted to a man of science, a specialist, who works on it in’ his lab- oratory or workshop in collaboration with the inventor, with the object of not merely ascertaining whether it, is workable, but also of perfecting it.

The most eminent scientists and technicians are on our list and the laboratories.of the Sorbonne, the-College d¢ France and other leading institutions aré ‘at our disposal. y it was only possible either to recommend or reject an invention as itvatood, The number of inventions pro- posed is enormous. The great majority, of course, are obviously without inter- est, but formerly, even of those that were interesting, none were perfected. Now it is often the case that ‘there is an excellent idea that is not fully real- ized, The consequence was that an in- vention had to be rejected which would have been very valuable had it been taken in hand and perfected. This is why I have made new arrangements in- suring that an invention offering poss!- bilities of valuable development will be taken up and perfected. : Two Things Essential. Two things are essential—rapidity and realization. A good idea is useless un- less it can be realized in practice. It must be studied and realized as quickly as possible. The procedure is as follows: The invention is examined by the commission. 2. If recommended by the commission it Is studied and if neces- sary it is perfected by one.of the sec- tion. 8. When ft is perfected and it has been ascertained that its application is practicable military are consulted and a specimen if made ar@ tested by them with a view of ascertaining its military utility. We have nothing to do with pro- duction. When an invention has been handed over to the military authorities our role is finished. Production is then in the hands\of the Ministry of Muni- tions or whatever department is -con- cerned. : We have established co-operation with allied countries. We have organized a kind of division of labor.

NAVAL: EVENTS IN 1916 Sir S. Eardley- Wilmot Says English Fleet Is Prepared for. . All Eventualities. OF TALKS SUBMARINES Their Development Necessitates Changes in Big Warship Con- struction, He Declares. By Rear Admiral Sir S. Eardley- _ Wilmot. (Rear Admiral. Sir 8. Eardley- Wilmot is a well known naval writ- er and historian who has seen much active service, was @ gunnery and torpedo expert and in addition to sea commands in various parts of the world was for some years in the naval intelligence department of the Admiralty.) To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, Dec. 14, by mail.—Every war. produces unforeseen phases in the use of destructive weapons. and the tactics they impose. The principles of strategy, whether on land or at sea, undergo prac- tically no modification. f So far, the present war has chiefly re- vealed the power of torpedo attack when skillfully applied, and underwater ap- proach.” Only the latter part is new, Though history records isolated cases of ships being sunk or disabled by the un- derwater projectile since its introduction 4) years ago, it failed to get sufficient confidence with naval authorities to pro- duce important modifications in warship design. From that day to'this nations have de- voted their efforts to getting in or ward- ing off blows above the water line, mak- ing little provision to give protection be- low the belt. The fact is that the locomotive tor- pedo is a close-range weapon and re- quired to be combined with the subma- rine to demonstrate its power. A shel! fired from a big gun at the center of a ship 4000 yards away, reaches her in about seconds, dur ing which—at 20 ~=knots’ speed— she advances 155 feet; s0 if the ship is 400 feet long and even assumed to be stationary, the shell will not miss. Now, the torpedo will take three and a half minutes to traverse the distance at a speed of 35 knots an hour, during which the.ship has advanced 2300 yards; so the torpedo has to be directed that distance ahead of her to make a hit. What chances of a miss that interval of time gives! At 1000 yards, with the greatly increased speed due to shorter range, decreasing the time interval to under a minute, the underwater attacks become much more dangerous. Torpedo Now Important The submarine is better able to at- tain a position without detection In ap- troach denied to the surface craft and now the torpedo assumes its rightful position as a weapon to be reckoned with and guarded against. Carrying a charge of 200 pounds and upward of high explosive, from 10 to 20 feet below the surface the torpedo comes into con- tact with the hull of a ship where most vulnerable and the hole made ‘on: ex- plosion is huge. How deadly the blow is evidenced by the short time which elapsed before the sinking of such large ships as the Aboukir, Cressy, Hogue and Formidable after being struck by torpedoes. Critic has dealt mainly with the circumstances under which these events eccurred; no one asks why the end came so quickly. This raises the whole question of tor- pedo defense and must lead to radical changes in big warship construction. For, though the torpedo is a costly pro- jectile we can have about 4000 of them for the price of a dreadnought. What form these changes will take its ifficult to say. Further subdivision tito water-tight compartments seems impracticable, for there must always re- main large spaces, such as engine and boiler rooms which cannot be cut into comparatively small compartments. In deciding upon a suitable protection for these parts we must realize the nature of the force generated by an under- water explosion. We have to deal with a large volume of heated gas, every particle of which has great potential energy for expansion, acting upon ob- jects In contact like the blow of a huge steam hammer. A small charge will snap a strong chain cable. Thus we can form some idea of what a 200-pound charge would do against the side of a ship. A rigid obstacle seems bound to succumb under such circumstances. We ‘vant to interpose sémething to absorb or dissipate this stored-up energy be- fore it can reach the vitals of a ship. It must be always ir place—a life belt. in fact worn on all occasions, not gpaapec only when danger appears. An Intolerable Situation Tt is intolerable that a big ship can sustain a number of blows from heavy shell above the water line without be- ing knocked out and not be capable of rustaining one or two torpedo explo- sions without being put out of action. To alter this we may have to sacri- fice something hitherto considered tn- dispensable; but what a gain if the big ship can pursue her course tn con- fidence, all on board knowing they will not be at the mercy of any hostile sub- marine or destroyer able to get unseen within a thousand yards of their ship! The Ifon Plate Committee of 1861 spent three years determining the nature and thickness of armor desirable to keep out shells. The torpedo problem should énigage equal attention and Industry.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. VIENNA, Dec. 10.— Field Marshal von Hindenberg does not believe that the end of the European war is immi- nent, according to a statement he made to a representativs of the Vienna Neve Freie Presse, who dined with him. “The French,” said the Field Marshal “still want Alsace-Lorraine, when we hold: Lille instead of their being in possession of Strassburg. The English seem bent upon continuing the war, de- spite the fact that tw6 Lords make beautiful peace speeches. From India come reports which should place a damper upon the war spirit of the En- glish, but we must wait to see if these reports are true. At any rate Englani nag an Achilles’ heel, and when I say this I don’t think of India alone. “The Russian Czar and his Govern- ment also want to continue the war. and the oft-announced revolution keeps people waiting. The odd feature of the situation is that the other nations do not. notice that.they are sacrificing themselves for England. 7 It’ does not look like peace. Germany cannot sheath, Ker sword. Certainly, there ts no German who would not-hail with joy the moment when this hor- rible spilling of blood shall have come to an end. But we are not to blame. They plunged us into this War and now they oblige us to continue it. Cannot Make Overtures “Can Germany make peace overturés? They would be interpreted as a sign of weakness, and the entire hostile press would shout: ‘Germany can’t go any further and has to beg for peace.’ We are obliged, therefore, to continue fight- ing until our antagonists are convinced of their defeat, which today they do not yet believe. “The ‘situation is constantly improvins for us. Even the road to the Orient is now open. For us it Is not a ques- tion of seeing this thing through, of preservation, but of being victorious.’’ Speaking of the military situation, Von Hindenburg said that the tactical position of the German forces was ex- cellent. In the East they occupied a favorable strategical line. His plans for the future, the Field Marshal would not touch upon. The Russian army still had “human material,’’ he said, ‘‘but the military value of this material is con- siderably lower than that of the Rus- sian soldiers during the first year of the war. The broth is getting thin- ner. ‘For that reason it is pure swindle when the Entente press speaks of the organization of new Russian armies. With the reserves who are now being by called in, the Russians can do no more than fill up the organizations already existing. New armies can not be formed of them. The lack of officers, too, would prevent this, and this problem must be pressing indeed when they make officers out of young students. Russia Has Enough Ammunition “Of ammunition they have enough: Japan, especially, has furnished a great deal. During’ the heavy fighting tn July and August, the Russians may have oc- casionally been a little short of ammuni. tion, but to give this as the reason for their defeats is marely a lame excuse. At all important points where decisive actions took place they had enough am- munition. In Kowno we found whole } mountains of ammunition, and in Kow- no especially it was shown that the defeats of the Russians were due to other causes. -¢ “Its location alone made@Kowno one of the strongest of fortresses, and when an army surrenders such a position , without Polding it to the limit of en- durance, it becomes clear that that army is demoralized. It does not seem that the morale of the Russian army has improved since then.s Our soldiers take prisoners of war who fall upon their captors’ necks and with tears in their eyes thank them for having been captured.”’ Ta a@ question as to whether he thought a new Ruasian offensive likely, Field Marshal von Hindenburg replied: “A new Russian offensive is not prob- able, butgthey may try one. In war one gets rid of the prophetic habit, par- ticularly when dealing with intentions of the antagonist.’’ Does Not Fear Double Offensive Of the possibility of having to meet simultaneously an offensive East and West, the Field Marshal said: “If they attack us East and West, we shall beat them back East and West!” Von Hindenburg was generous in his praise of the Pulgarian army, and spoke in glowing terms of the Austro-Hunga- that Emperor William, ao- cording to a dispatch front Ber- lin, has sent the following New Year's address to the army, the navy and the colonial troops: “Comrades: Another year of se- vere fighting has elapsed. Wher- dver a superior number of enemies have stormed our lines ‘they have failed before your loyalty and brav- ery. .Wherever I have sent you into battlé you have gained a glo- rious victory. Thankfully we re- membef today, above all, our breth- ren who joyfully gave their bieod in order to gain security for our beloved at home and imperishable glory for the fitherland. What they have begun we shall accom- plish with God’s gracious help. “Tncompetent madness of our en- emies from the West and East, from the North and South, will seek to deprive us of all that makes life worth living. They long ago buried the hope to conquer us in honest fighting. On the weight-of their masses, on the starvation of our entire people, on the influence of their campaign of calumniation, which is as mischievous as [t is ma- licious, they believe they can stil! reckon. Their plans will not suc- ceed. Before the spirit of determi- nation which imperturbabiy unites the army and those at home, their hopes will be miserably disap- pointed. “With a full discharge of the duty to the fatherland to the last breath and determination to secure victory, we enter the new year with God for the protection of the father- land and for Germany's greatness.’. The Amsterdam correspondent of Reuter’s Telegram Co., sends the following: “Emperor. William has written a letter to Gen. von Falkenhayn (chief of staff of the German army), states a Berlin telegram, in which he says: “* IT will not let the year 1915 end without remembering our great: military successes.’ After sum- ming up the successes the Emperor adds that they can be fully appre- ciated only by later historical writers. He praises the bravery of the troops, and the work of the , supreme command, and concludes: “So I know that I/and the German people in the coming year of the war can trust to the com- mand of the army.’ ” rians, especially of their general staff chief, Conrad ven Hoetzendortf. “A crushing defeat of the Italians would particularly please me,” he said, “This war cannot close without its three principal culprits, England, Servia and Italy suffering the penalty which is rightfully theirs.’’ ‘He had merely done his duty, said Von Hindenburg in rejoinder to a remark concerning his great popularity among the German people. He did not wish to be feted, but, if necessary to meet popu- lar wishes, he said, assuming a light vein, he could have himself stuffed and placed on exhibition. _ _—_ do not think they will supersede the bat- tleship and large cruiser. The same was said of surface torpedo craft at one time, but battleships survive. The anti- dote is generally to be found as In the old days with fire ships, and they were deadly enough to wooden hulls and canvas propulsion. So far we have only heard of the submarines’ successes; time will give vis the reverse side of the pic- ture. Some day we shall know the com- plete losses and the number of torpedoes expended, from first to last, to obtain known results. It will not be the least interesting record among many. British Fleet Intact The British navy position today is not unsatisfactory. We have suffered losses at sea, it is true, but our main fleet re- \mains practically intact after 16 months of ceaseless vigil. The year 1916 will probably see even greater events than 1915.. As far as the British navy is concerned, they are awaited in confidence. Whether the German fleet elects to come out or re- main in harbor will doubtless depend on how the fortune goes upon land. It will not appear before the right moment, or without orders from the highest author- ity. We are told that one:of the objects of our enemy, now that this conflict has been forced upon him, is to secure the seas from British domination. During a fairly long career at sea, I only remember our navy interfering with the freedom of the seas in normal times on one occasion. As a young officer I spent many weary months off the coast of Cuba endeavoring by every means to interfere with the free navigation of slave ships from Africa. Years after, when in\comman4d, I annoyed craft en- gaged on a similar mission in the Red Sea and aided a few freed slaves to our colony at Aden, where they are educated and trained in useful @vocations. I do not remember coming across ships of other nations similarly engaged; but it cost us many valuable lives. We do not regret them, for their work constitutes a bright page in the history of our navy. Finally, I would ask this question: If, instead of Great Britain, Germany had been the predominant maritime Power during the last hundred years, would the world have experienced greater freedom on the seas?

PREDIET YEAR OF VICTORY Persons Prominent in the En- tente Nations Give Their Views on War. By Assoctated Presa PARIS, Jan. 1—In observation of the New Year, prominent representatives of various allied countries have con- tributed to the Matin statements of their’ views concerning the future ad the war. Loulsa Barthou, former Premie® of France, says the war is now being con- ducted like a branch of {ndustry, and adds: “Speaking from personal knowledge, I know that the experiences of the French with ‘aggressive gases’ and chemical weapons afford the best rea- sons for relying on their efficacy both In attack and in defense.” In con- clusion, he says! “The year 1914 was a year of sur- prise; 1915 was a year of resistance and preparation, and 1916 will be a year of victory.” Earl of Derby Confident. The Earl of Derby, who organized the movernent in England for obtaining recruits, writes: “T await with absolute confidence the moment when the combined foreée of the allied nations triumphantly shall prevail. Our allies may be assured that our effort will not fall. Our Gevern- ments, our peoples have confidence in one another. Our soldiers and sailors are brave. This confidence and con- junction. is a certain sign of victory.” Sir Edward Carson, former Attorney- General of England: : “Although we cannot expect any dramatic developments of the war at present the moment cannot be far off when the Central Empires will feel seriously the effect of the pressure we and our allies are exercising on all their fronts. Speaking for the whole country, I promise we shall not cease our efforts tq reach the maximum of our power. Favors Western Theater. “TY think our principal objective should be in the Western theater of war. We must give attention to these important points: First, the necessity of perma- nent co-operation among the different general staffs of the allies; second, eub- ordination of political to immediate con- sideration; third, the need of maintain- ing economic pressure on Germany; fourth, combination of all efforts and resources of the allies.” Guglielmo Ferrero, the Italian hie- torian, says the war fs one of the great- est crises of history. He believes it will stimulate the creative energies of hu- manity. The reconstruction after a war will offer a great field for these en- ergies. He asserts an epoch of diffi- cult trials, but nevertheless of grandeur, has begun for Burope. Predicts Vivified France. Prof, Henri Bergson of the University of Paris says that although the future cannot be discerned, he has no doubt as ty the issue of the war. He predicts a revivified France, greater than before’ and animated by a new impetus, will emerge from the struggle. Foreign Minister Sasanoff of Ruesia predicts that the day will jcome “which will witness the definite triumph of right over force, and of civilisation over scientific barbarism.” : ‘Patience a little longer,” wae the con- tribution of Madame Carton de Wiart, wife of the Belgian Minister of Justice. - ~~ made. are using.

In leaving Stock- holm hundreds of people watched the departure of the peace party singing “America” cheering and making fare- well speeches. Perhaps much of the enthusiasm was the result of a contribution of 40,000 crowns given to the poor of Stockholm and 10,000 crowns donated to the ‘per- manent Swedish peace committee. The Danish Government is strongly opposed to the peace party, believing as aoes Norway, that the belligerents should fight it to @ finish. The feeling is so strongly antagonistic, despite the three days advance work of Mme. Schwimmer, one prominent hotel re- fused to quarter the peace party. Members, upon their arrival, found the entire program arranged by the local authorities consisted of visits to places of interest. The arrangements for the next five days are for touring the city, small private receptions, visits to mu- seums and joy rides, This is due to the prohibition of the Danish Government against public meetings for the discus- sion of war or peace. Only private meetings may be held. The Swedish additions to the peace party include two physicians, one suf- fragette, one prohibitionist and two women writers, who are unknown out- Bide of Sweden. The Swedish delega- tion, as announced, is Carl Lindhagen, mayor of Stockholm: his sister, Anna Lindhagen; Dr. Paul Bierre, a biologist: Emil Larrsen, secretary of the Peace So- ciety; Edward Wavrinsky, a Swedish Senator; T.

It set new rec- gris both in the numper of cars pro- diced and in the value of the product. Tt is estimated that 1,000,000 motor cars were made in the United States, the past year, and that Detroit manu- factured three-fourths of them. Their ¥alue was more than $500,000,000. Many of the manufacturers have made ar- fangements to double their output. The Ford Motor Coe alone plans to preduce about 600,000 @ars in 1916. The plant produced in exgess of 325,000 in isis. The year also was marked by the erection of large additions to the motor plants. Several companies making mo- tor care and others making accessories each spent more than $1,000,000 in 1915. t. S&S.

S. Will Not Stand Back of Citizens Who Seek to Send Prohibited Goods Under Seal. BB» Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.—In all proba- bility Great Britain will have to estab- lish a precedent for Interfering with the mails of neutral countries in time of war. Government officials here have failed to find a precedent which would serve as a guide in controversy now looming up between Washington and London. So far as parce! post mail is concerned, no differences have arisen. Parcel mail is covered by separate conventions with each foreign country. Furthermore, par- cel mail is freight, to all intents and purposes, and in time of war has no in- herent rights not enjoyed by other classes of freight. While all Governments regard the seals on mail bags as inviolate and the break- ing of them is looked upon as a’ most delicate matter, it can be said with authority that the United States will not stand back of its own citizens or noncitizen aliens in this country who may seek to protect contraband in the mails by sending it first-class under seal. Under the universal postal conventions and international usage, users of the mails have no right to send merchandise in first-class mail under seal. The con- ventions limit merchandise so mailed to mere samples. Anything beyond samples must be sent by parcel post, and the first-class mails do not protect it In any shape or form. May Seize Parcel Mail. There is a question whether negotiable securities do not properly belong under the head of contraband, since they can be converted into money, which is gen- erally regarded as contraband. There- fore, should Great Britain or any other belligerent seize securities of. or sus- pected of enemy origin or destination, they probably would be within their rights. So far as Washington knows official- ly Great Britain has not yet gone be- yond seizing parcel mail, despite con- trary reports, and her right to do so is conceded. It is known to officials, however, that the British authorities contemplate go- ing much further. If the seizure of first-class mail is lim- ited to packages sent in that way to evade capture of articles of contraband destined for enemy countries the United States will have little ground to com- plain. Even any first-class mail, includ- ing “postal correspondence,”’ is subject to seizure if it arises In an actual block- ade in the port. This also is conceded by American officials, since it is spe- cifleally covered by The Hague conven- tion of 1907. Under Protection of U. §&. Generally speaking, American first- class mails are under the protection of the United States Government at all times, whether on the high seas or on the land. This protection on the sea, of course, amoufits to a guarantee against only those over whom the United States exercises sovereignty. Whenever the right comes in conflict with or is ques- tioned by the rights of nations, then the United States must resort to internation- al law and usage to determine just how far, if at all, a belligerent country can interfere. The United States can view no right of a belligerent as superior to our Own right or the right of the contractor in whose custody are the American mails. While the United States cannot be ex- pected to stand back of persons in this country who desire to evade the Brit- ish “‘constructive’’ blockade and smug- gle contraband into Germany through the first-class mail route, there is a ques- tion as to how far the United States would be willing to go in recognizing the jright of Great- Britain or any belligerent to break the United States seals on mail bags, even under such circumstances. BRINGS WITNESS OF HOLDUP TO PROVE STORY TO POLICE Paul Kreurak Afraid Report He Was Robbed Would Not Be Believed. Paul Kreurak, 3 years old, of 1319 North Twelfth street, reported to the poltce of the Carr Street Station last night that he had been held up and robbed of $30 by two men as he was passing a vacant lot at 1215 North Twelfth street. Kreurak told the police he was afraid he might. not be believed, so he pre- vailed on M. Steinschneider of 1419 North Twelfth street, who witnessed the robbery from across the street, to accompany him to the police station. The two highwaymen knocked him down, Kreurak said, when he was a bit slow in obeying their order to “shell out.” T, P. BURKE'S FATHER DIES Parent of Assistant City Treasurer Came: to City In 1865.

An effort to increase the membership in the Boy Scouts in St. Louis from 3000 to 15,000, as part of a nation-wide move- ment for “preparedness,’’ will be made during the next two weeks by H. L, Wddy, National Field Scout Commission- er of New York, who is in St. Louis. At present there are 3000 Boy Scouts in the city, supported by about $5000 do- nated annually by a few individuals. The workers in the new campaign hope to laterest 1000 business and professional men in the movement and obtain pledges for at least $16,000 a year for carrying on the work. In the nation there are at present 200,000 Boy Scouts and it is proposed to increase the number to 1,500,000. Eddy iold a Post-Dispatch reporter yesterday that the first response of leading St. Louisans to the campaign call appears to indicate the success of the movement here. “This is the hiaaes movement for pre- paredness along the right line that there is in the country,’’ said Fddy, in speak- ing of the extension campaign of the Boy Scouts. ‘“‘Some people think ft is a military movement, but that is not the case. It ig a movement for prepared- ness for business, for professional work or for’ anything that may develop. If 1t should turn out that the boy is com- pelled to defend his home—as all boys will—the Boy Scout movement will have the lead -on all other organizations in preparing future citizens to take care cf the home land. Big Development Here, “The Boy Scout movement has had a wonderful development in St. Louis, de- spite the fact that there has been no concerted, movement toward backing the organizations. The people here, as else- where, know what the boys can do. At times they can do more than the police in the way of keeping order in crowds, and I am told that the scouts made many friends by thefr work during the progress of the great Pageant and Masque. “The fraternal organizationg here have taken up the work of acting as big brothers to the Boy Scouts. There are branches of the organization that are looked after now by the Elks, the Knights of Columbus, the Knights of Pythias and other societies. In St. Louis the troops are all of the better class of boys, and for that matter it is well it is so as the boy from a home of wealth needs more contact with the world than he generally gets. “We hope, however, to extend the movement to the gang districts. People generally do not realize the powerF of the hoy gangs and the difficulty the police have in dealing with them. I was on a street car today with sevéral boy scouts. At one crossing there was a gang of boys who were pelting each person who left the cars stopping at that crossing, with snowballs. There were several women in the car who were afraid to leave the car. The Boy Scouts jumped out and simply told the boys of the gang that they ought to be ashamed of themselves. They told them that no de- cent boy would annoy a woman, and the snowballing stopped as if by magic. “Our expansion movement has for its first object the enlightenment of the pub- lic as to the Boy Scout work. Some people seem to think that it simply means keeping a boy off the street one night of the week when meetings are held. We wish to show that it helps home and school and even religious training. To Speak at Theaters. “During the next two weeks I have ar- ranged to speak for a moment at al- most all of the theaters and big mov- ing picture houses in the city: We will have speakers at the churches and at many of the leading clubs and organiza tions. We wish to correct some reports. For instance, it was reported to us that during the Post-Dispatch Christmas en- tertainment at the Coliseum that a Boy Scout had been holding a contribution box for his own benefit. We knew the boys had been working whole hearted- ly all day to aid the cause and we ran the case down and discovered an im- postor. No Boy Scout receives tips. He spurns money offered simply because he does a kindly deed. “But the alarmists say that the Boy Scouts are uniformed and that this alone leads to a fondness for war. That is absolutely false. The boys wear a uniform because we wish to have them in uniform. In a uniform the son of a millionaire and the son of a ‘poor man look the same and meet upon a basis of entire equality. They are taught neatness, order, dicipline, but their mill- tary training is no more than the train- ing given public school pupils in the fire drill. “On the other hand, the boys are taught how to take care of themselves. which should be called upon to defend their country. In the Spanish-American war more than one-half of the fatalities were due to a lack of sanitary precautions which would not be overlooked by any boy trained as ‘a scout. The boys do not carry guns of any kind and receive no training in shooting. Their training might help them to take up military work, but they receive no _ training toward that end unless training in com- mon sense methods of dealing with emergencies be so considered."’ PICKPOCKETS ROB PASSENGERS Man on Hodiamont Car Loses #190 and One on Natural Bridge $80.

LAYING beautiful ba sket ball, the kind that won the championship of the United States four straight years, the Illinois Athletic Club five ‘of Chicago defeated the Columbian Athletic Club team, 49—33, at the latter’s gymnasium yesterday afternoon. ' The play of the visitors was clean-cut and effective. No pretty stuff, or stalling, or individual lay; wild, hit OF miss, attack. . just a combined assault on that old basket that was irresistible. When they started for the goal four men; joined in the attack and the way they zipped the sphere hither and yon was a treat. On the other hand, the local men ap- peared stale. No follower: of basket ball in town would say that the Tangled C team played in its ysual form. Much of that, of course, was due to the strength of the opposition, but we know that Rich von Dach and Artie Zachritz do not usually miss ’em as they did yes- terday, Nor was Bill Joern himself. Bill was “done” about the middle of the second' half. He had played hard, against tough opposition, as with the opening of the second half, the visiting five started an attack that resulted in the constant feeding of Joern’s man, Fee- ney. | : " Joern Refuses to Quit. . The ‘visitor ripped off six baskets in a row, and Joern was constantly on the run in av effort to break this up. He finally succeeded, but he was truly “in.” Coach Fitzgerald realized Jvern’s cqndi-, tion and sent in Al Marquurd, the star center of the Compton Heights team, to take Joern's ' place. ‘The big fellow wouldn't hear to it, though, and after a slight delay and some excitement Joern continued.

That was all the scoring he did in the game, but it was sufficient. The local boys staged a little ge about here, and while they closed up the gap somewhat, the result was never in great doubt thereafter. One Man Banished. Contrary to general expectations, the visitors made more fouls than Fitzger- ald’s boys, the count being 19 for I. A. C. and 16 for the local lads. On the free throws awarded, Von Dach and Joern cored 13 times. For I. A. C. Johnson tallied 11 times from the 15-foot mark. He also tallied five field baskets.

Snapper Garrison Finish By making a garrison finish in the iast round, Jimmy Murphy, local fly- weight, won a close verdict over Frankie Izzo of Chicago in eight rounds at the South Broadway Athletic Club yesterday afternoon, gaining Referee Randall's de- cision. The boys started the last round with honors ._ practically even. Izzo immedi- ately became the aggressor -and for about the first minute of this frame was having the better of the milling. The visitor, though, became overconfident and left an opening which enabled Mur- phy to land a solid left uppercut to the chin which virtually lifted the little Chicagoan off his feet. Murphy -was quick to see his advan- tage and showered a volley of hooks and uppercuts to the head with pbotl: hands, which had Izzo groggy and reel- ng. Murphy tried desperately to end the contest by a knockout, but the Windy City boxer showed good ring generalship and succeeded in finishing the round tn fairly good shape. Izzo Busy at Start. Izzo started right at the first bell to rush matters and continued this style virtually throughout the contest, causing the local boy to do considerable holding to break up his attack. However, Mur- hy also stabbed his opponent with a eft jab to the mouth and nose repeat- edly, also sending some right uppercuts to the head, which stopped Frankie's rushes. While Izzo showed himself tu be a very aggressive and willing miller, he is sadly lacking a good left hand any land depended almost entirely on his right hand yesterday. The South Side idol also outboxed his rival in the second round by a fair margin, os short punches to the body and head while in close, at other times stopping Izzo with a straight left. The visitor made his best showing in the third and -sev- enth rounds when he got through some hard wallops to the head with his right hand, and which caused Murphy to do a lot of holding. The first, Fourth and sixth rounds were a toss-up, thus giving Murphy three rounds, Izzo two and three even, The weight agreed upon was 111 pounds ringside, with neither boy raising the beam when they stepped on the scales, A Toe-to-Toe Battle. The semi-final betewen Bobby An derson of Duquoin, ILll., weighing 137 ounds, and Charles Stapp of St. uis, weight 153 pounds, furnished one of the most desperately fought contests seen here in some time. De- spite the difference in weight, An- derson was willing to swap punches with his heavier opponent at ail times, and by effectively using thse one-two punch earned Referee Ran- dall's decision after cight rounds, Stapp, however, had a. wicked punch in his right hand which he landed to Bobby's jaw with cotne effect.

In that five minutes Brown got as far as Washing- ion State’s 10-yard line and there lost the ball on downs, The Western backs, with five and six men ahead of them. literally tore the right side of the Brown line to shreds during the last half, when all the scoring was done.

I have counted. the massacre. The Navals simply played . rings around the Detroit outfit at every angle of the game. The local forwards found no opposition from the half- backs and fullbacks of the Nationals and Goodwin in goal could not pos- sibly do it all himself. As it was he played the star game for the visitors on the defense, anj that’s saying a lot, considering the fact that the lo- calg sent nine goals through the up- rights. But it is nevertheless true that he was the star of the visitors, possibly barring James, the center forward, who was the only alien who lived up to the reputation he brought down from the Michigan State League. Goodwin stopped no less than 15 shots, which some’ other net gaurdian being peppered as hard as was Gool- win might have let slip through. Goodwin Proves a Star. It was a great victory for Ameri- can soccer. Every member of the Navals learned the game in St. Louis. On the other hand all of the Nation- als got their first training on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. The Nationals do not class up to the local kickers. If they are the leading eleven in the Michigan State League then that organization must have very poor teams and the brand of soccer as played in Detroit far below the staniard of the game played in the other parts of the Middle West.

The closing scenes of the 1916 fight pic- ture contained some interesting little dramas—in fact, more real boxing history was crowded into the last two weeks of the game than in the entire preceding vear. Following are some of the recent happenings: Ad Wolgast was stopped in five rounds by Frankie Whitney of Cedar Rapids—the first time in his career he was ever set back in this way, except for broken bones, Ad Wolgast was forced to quit. im the seventh round of his bout with Leach Cross at New York. Eddie MeGoorty Knocked out for the second time by Les Darcy in Sydney, Australia. Benny Leonard knocked out Joe Mandot at New York. Jess Willard’s world’s cham- pionship match with Fred Ful- ton called off; 10-round bout at Milwaukee replaces their title Willie Ritchie ig beaten by Ted Lewis, tn the first big revival of the welterweight fight division. Mike Gibbons and Young Ahearn rematched to fight at Minneapolis, Jan, 18, Johnny Kilbane will risk his title for the first time in many months against George Cheney of Baltimore, March 17, 15 rounds. First flyweitght battles under the new American Boxing Asso- ciation conditions were fought here when Jimmy Pappas beat Willie Mitchell and Jimmy Mar- phy met Frankie Izzo. The pathetic spectacle of the iron- bound Ad Wolgast succumbing to a third-rater like Frankie Whitney must have been a shock to those who hate to see the former greats stick around until they are fourth-raters. hat’s what Ad now is, despite his protestations. Time and a lot of hard wailoping have reduced him to a mere plodder in search of a day’s work. It is no cinch that Bat Nelson, from whom Ad won the title, couldn’t beat him or outlast him in a tong contest, now. Wolgast is given credit for one thing —he will fight his best as long as he ean lift a hand. Two Little Stars Eliminated. Two more once-greats have passed Gown the slope. They are Joe Mandot, the New Orleans lightweight. and Ed- die MeGoorty, the middleweight scrap- er. Mandot succumbed to Benny Leonard in a New York bout. He was leading on points at the time the kayo was hung on his chin. McGoorty, however, was decisively beaten throughout his second mill with Les Darcy. He was scientifically worn down and out in the eighth round. It took Darcy 16 rounds to beat him, the first time they met. Both men have been title candidates in their respective classes. Mandot’s defeat was entirely unexpected. as he bas been going nicely of late. The calling off of the Willard-Fulton bout, as a championship affair, was a mercy to the public, which faced two months of distorted publicity and mis- representations. On the basis of a 10- round no-decision contest, which is to be a mere test for Fulton, the bout is legitimate. At that, $25,000 is a big purse to split for such a show. Willie Ritchie’s debut as a welter- weight was a poor one, although he is at last fighting at his true weight. Wil- lie did not look good before the dancing Ted Wewis, who is a clever boxer and fast. In a long fight Willie might show to better advantage, however. The con- test marked the rehabilitation of a long forgotten weight division. It should prove a popular one as under the 142- pound maximum may be included some of the stars who have been trying in vain to squeeze themselves into the lightweight class. Gibbons’ Quick Recovery. Mike .Gibbons, who was down with pneumonia, nas surprisingly recovered in time to re-engage himself to box Young Ahearn at Minneapolis, Jan. 18. His complete recovery within a month will be doubted by those who know the wasting power of pneumonia. Another interesting match that has been clinched ts the 15-round contest be- tween George Chaney of Baltimore and Johnny Kilbane of Cleveland, O. The bout will take place in Baltimore, the city of home decisions. Kilbane is get- ting a good guarantee, , and must feel confident of decisively beating Chaney. Baltimore has the reputation of shading for its home sons, however. The flyweight competition failed to have an auspicious debut at the Coli- seugn recentiy. Frankie Izzo ran out of his bout with Jimmy Pappas, and de- | served a suspension, according to the facts at hand. In his place a little weazened fighter named Willie Mitchel] opposed Pappas and looked good for two rounds. He wilted under punish- ment and lasted only three rounds.

TITLE MEETS SCHEDULED Teams From All Over Country Will Be Sent to Champion- ships. This Season. NEW YORK, Jan. 1—While the Euro- pean war has killed all chances of in- ternational sports, competition on the Scale of the Olympic games and the America’s cup regatta, the coming year will not be without its intersectional and international contests. In fact, the indl- cations point to a wider range of sport meetings during 1916 than ever before in the history of amateur competition in this country. National championship contests are expected to draw entrants from all parts of the continent and with the interest of all sections bound up in the play of their respective contestants the dearth of international sports, planned for 1916, will be partially forgotten. The Pacific Coast will send a powerful and well- balanced tennis team to Eastern courts for several months of tournament play; Stanford University will enter a team in the intercollegiate track and field championships, and the winning crew in the ar Coast Intercollegiate regatta will row at Poughkeepsie. Japs Are Coming Over. An Eastern polo team will play in the Middle and Far West, while one or more from these sections will compete in the national championships later in the summer, ith the coming of au- tumn intersectional football games will be more frequent than ever, the South, East, Middle and Far West elevens meeting in numerous gridiron contests. The outlook for international meets is not so promising, although there will be some events along these lines. The baseball team of Waseda University of Japan will tour the country, playing the leading college nines; several Aus- tralian boxers are already planning to invade the States; Christian Mathewson, the world’s champion skater, is expecte to compete against the leading profes- sional speed skaters of America during the winter; an all-Hawaltian polo team will play in the East next spring; sev- eral South American rifle teams are planning to shoot in the national tour- naments and the invasion of the United States by a large track and field team from at least one foreign nation is a possibility. carefully with blue pencils and shears on American sporting matter cabled to Europe as they do on news of far greater importance. The score of the Harvard-Yale feotball game was held up for more than 12 hours, much to the dis- appointment of Harvard alumni, who had. gathered to dine and celebrate the forecasted victory. The score of the recent six-day bicycle race was received with the daily records of the teams elim- inated to a point where it was impos- sible for English sporting editors to make head or tail out of what was left. Results of boxing bouts in Australia are made public from one to two days late, so that the sportsman at home has little advantage over his brother in the trenches. Shorter training trips and fewer exhi- btion games are predicted for the big League baseball teams during the com- ing spring campaign of preparedness. Wisconsin tennis authorities have de- cided to stage a State championship tournament open only to players who are residents of that State. The State will be divided into sections and each club asked to hold a tournament to de- cide the club championship. These title- holders will, in turn, meet in a series of divisional matches and when the lists have been redune’ to a ae - ——- tion, such survivors Ww meet in a ee iets series for the State title. Pot hunters from other states will have to confine their activities to such invi- tation tournaments as offer prizes keeping with their ideas of their own drawing powers. Race Meet Opens at New Orleans to Record Crowd ee 10,000. Persons See First Day’s Card at Crescent City Track. NEW ORLBANS, Jan. 1—All records in the matter of attendance were broken at the Crescent City track this after- noon. It was the first day of the winter racing season and 10,000 race-goers took advantage of the holiday and the sum- merlike weather to witness the sport. Seventy-five layers, the greatest number that has ever supplied odds and made individual bets, were on hand early in the palm room and found plenty of men ready to bet with them, : It was so warm that the crowd found it decidedly uncomfortable in the grand stand, which was filled to overflowing. The lawn and clubhouse was unequal to the task of accommodating the overflow. The track was stiff and heavy from the recent rainstorm and five seconds slow to the mile. The first 2-year-old race of the year, a three-furiong scramble, was won by No- rumbega, a filly by Star Shoot—Noreen, owned by Gifford A. Cochran of New York. orumbega, a good looker, slow to bréak at the start. but soon caught her stride and gained a winnit, advantage in the first furlong. She won eased up by three lengths.

M. C. A. May Lose Its Stafs NTIL the Y. M. C. A. and the Sunday School Athletic League join hands with the A. A. U., the fullest local athletic possibilities will never be achieved. However, when the Y. M. C. A. boys fix their lamps on that beauti- ful M. A. A. building, the loyalty of many of them may be expected to waver The Y. M. C. A. cannot hope to hold ite star men, when it clones the door of national championship competition on them. The high schools have seen fit to return to a policy of strictly local compe- tition. No teams further away than % miles can be brought here, while con- tests with teams above the interscholastic grade, even for practice, have been discouraged. This seems a sure way te narrow the experience of the Woys and keep down the standards of performance. The athletes who “go up” to univer sities from local high schools. will not be as far advanced as might otherwise have been the case. Time was when the local schools found a great incentive to track work in the State high school championship at Columbia, Mo. But it was deemed ad- visable to withdraw the St. Louis schools frofi this annual feature. The Mound City is now the only municipality of size im the «tate nat represented at the Columbia gathering. . 7 @ j T HIS attitude hurts local interscholastic football interest, and ita standards. Last year Englewood High School, Chicago’s champions, was booked for a game here, The announcement attracted almost as great interest in football circles of the city as the booking of Michigan eleven might have done, in the collegiate world. But the principais altered their view about intercity events and called off this event, and all others that might have been contemplated. Te those why look at the matter from purely a sporting stand point, th.is is the only feature abeut the New Year ecouticek with which ne hope can be connected. * Fight Waning? Well, Not Yet. ACKED houses at the Future City A, C.’s shows have, of fate, Indicated ' that the keynote to fistic success in this city lies fi cheap entertain- ments. In Philadelphia and other cities the @-cent admissions have been maintained for a long time. It is just, because it is a weary period since this city has seen a highly touted fight show come through as advertised with a right royal entertain« ment. Generally, it is the poorly paid preliminary boys who furnish all the good mills, in this city. , The Future City club, the brincipal developing plant of the city, le¢o be cen- ovated and improved, if the plans announced in a recent circular are carried out. With more comfortable quarters capacity crowds weuld attend @vaty show. ia!) a St. Louis Has No Ring Champions | Dice Means T HB city will have no champigns represented in any divisien—mct a near-champion is coming up. We have several gooda boys, but ther going, not coming, ft is to be feared. These are Leo Kelly, whose trainiag methods prevent him from doing himself justice; Harry Trendall, who has se much trouble keeping his weight dowm that he is compelled to fight entirely out of his normal class; and Benny McGovern, who seems unable to recover the speed and pep that made him one time famous. Benny will come back, his manager thinks; bu< those who have-eeen hing work afe not as hopeful. The Case of T. Burke. S to the “comers,” there is Tommy Burke, who fought Art Magir? at Memphis yesterday—their second meeting. Tommy, just after leaving the amateur ranks, appeared the ideal scrapper whose first name was Bat- tling. Since that time Tommy has gained some professional expbrience and the most deplorable case of cramped ring action witnessed outside of muscle-bound men. When Burke can again find himself and become one more a rushing, free-hitting miller, there may be real champlonship promise tn him, Tommy has a great physique, splendid habits, ambition and a talent for hard work. If his belfry will co-ordinate with his muscles he surely ought to arrive somewhere. ‘ Harry Kabakoff, the 16-year-old bantamweight, is the only other boy in the city that has shown early stuff of a caliber to warrant belief that he may go higher/up. Harry is‘the fastest little miller tn this city, both as te brains and hands. He can change his mind and his punches while his hands are in midair and connect with an entirely different destination than the one he originally aimed at. He is as fast a hitter as Eddie Cainpl and can place blows with more force, He may not have the pu: ch of necessary power te become truly great, especially if, as is probable, he mounts to the featherweight clasa withia ~ ~ @ ee Re eer ere a year or two, Lesser Lights That Shine Here. OR the rest, St. Louis has turned out some good preliminary and sem!- windup men. Those who have furnished the best entertainment, if not the best boxing, are Bobby Anderson, Leo Witt, Bud Clancy, Gallor Jerabec and one or two others. Among the once famous boxers still fighting locally but with no hope of making a real flash George Kirkwood may be mentioned, George ie « fair miller, still; but the big stuff hag left him. Time was when he was near Johnny Kilbane in popularity. ‘ The Mysterious Mr. Fulton Arrives. es in the country the pugilistic game has neted the rise some new men who promise to cut some sort of a figure during the com Some of them will, in all probability, be brought to this ofty for bouts. The most notable figure Is undoubtedly that of the mystericus Mr, Fred Fulton of Rochester, Minn., whose 6 feet 4% inches have become famous as « rrospective opponent of Jess Willard, Fulton’s case will be largely interesting as showing how good or how very rank the heavyweight division of the fight game has become. There are not wanting those who refuse to yield te the glamor of the world’s fight champ onship and who still think of Willard ag little more than a big cheese, These say that Fulton has a chance. Yet others think that Jess’ victory over Jack Johnson, who ceased to be guaranteed a fast black about five years aga, was nothing but a win for eld Father Time. After Feb. 22, when he may fight Fulton 10 rounds, we may knew more about it. Fer, if Falten can make a showing against Willard, with the limited experience his record shows he has had, it can only mean that Jeas ie all that his detractors have said of him.—Fromage de Brie, Gergenscla, and all. a Darcy on His Way Here. M OST interesting of all boxing futures will be the appearance in this coun- try of Les Darcy, the Australian middleweight who twice knocked out Eddie McGoorty. Ere he goes back, the middleweight championship as between him, Gibbons, Ahearn and Jeff Smith, will probably have been settled. Johnny Ertie’s rise in the bantam class, the coming bout of Kilbane and the Baltimore featherweight, George Chaney, and the upspringing of Ted Lewis in the welterweight world are three other instances in which newer names are coming to the fore. Altogether the boxing year will br interesting locally and elaewhere—heavy on the “elsewhere,” however, when it comes to developing new men. 2 + ” Tennis and Golf Growing. AST year saw a big increase in the number of pybile golf and tennis ger. mits issued by the city. The fever is on for outdoor stuff, and next yeaa ing year. | Will no doubt see the capacity of the city’s recreation fields pushed to the limit, if progress continues at the rate shown last year. If St. Louls doesn’t develop a few net and golf stare tt will tet be because the public is showing a waning Interest tn these games. . Basket ball will have the best winter In years, with a near U. & cham- pion five operating at the Columbian A. C., and university schedules which indicate hopeful futures for St. Lovie U., C. B. C. and Washingten U. teams. The “prep” school basket ball standards are higher than those of the unt- versities here, dy seems to be shown by the work of the all-freshman five of the. Washington University. This team has beaten the varsity soundly and Coack Edmunds says it is a better team.

This they forsook some years ago with the of the magneto at a stage of en- 1 practicability, and in again equip- ng their cars with ignition systems of the battery-distributor variety. they are fm a sense reverting to first principles.

Every step has now been taken to pro- vide for the complete manufacture of Briscoe ¢ars in factories owned by the company itself. Recent purchases have included the plants of the Mason Motor Car Co, of Waterloo, Io.—the machinery of which was moved to Jackson—the Jackson Motor Parts Co. and the Jack- son Metal Products Co. The final step Was the announcement of the acquire- ment of the million-dollar plant of the Lewis Spring and Axle Co. at Jackson-—- perhaps the best equipped of its kind in the’country. The capital of the company has been increased to $6,000,000 and this, with its remarkably complete facilities for man- ufacturing, makes it one of the very biz factors in the popular-priced field. Present plans call for an output of 20,000 cars during the next fiscal year. though this production will be increased if necessary. Fifteen thousand of these will be the Briscoe ‘‘Twenty-four,” a new light model which will be announced at the big national automobile shows. Ten thousand of the present popular Briscoe four and eight cylinder models will be made. In addition, the company will manufacture a light delivery wagon. of which the initial production will be 5000. Benjamin Briscoe will be president of the company. Frank Briscoe becomes vice president, in charge cf manufac- turing operations. L. EB. Wilson comes from Chicago to assume entire charge of the marketing of the product, with the title of vice president and director of sales and ad- vertising. This presages an aggressive marketing campaign. The Briscoe line is handled in St. Louis by the Briscoe Motor Sales Co., of which Frank Bishop is gpeanager. , os a little . comparison over and above certai undamental principles that are common to both. At the same time both are alike in idea. Hence, what, by a very small stretch of the imagination, can be termed the “return” to greater popu- larity of the battery system, has aroused as pretty a controversy as motorists have ever witnessed. But whereas earli- er rivalries between competing factions of electrical equipment builders were made the basis for considerable highly speculative argument, the present expo- sition of opinion is being more fairly and openly conducted under the bright light of the modern art of automobile ignition, which has been termed the most scientifically and efficiently devel- oped of ‘any element that is tributary Announcement just made of the new ecries 17 Studebaker six-cylinder and four-cylinder models comes in the na- ture of a double triumph for the Stude- baker Corporation. The basic design of the series 17 cars shows no radical changes. The mechan- ical principles that have proved success- ful are retained intact. The new refinements have been in the direction of securing greater roominess and comfort, along with still further conveniences. In spite of these added features, however, the new series 17 four-cylinder, seven-passenger touring car now selis for $845. The three-pas- senger roadster is priced at $83. The six-cylinder, seven-passenger touring car is priced,at $1050, and the three-passen- ger roadster at $1025. A notable addition to the Studebaker line is the six-cylinder, seven-passenger sedan model, the price of which is $1675. Other new series 17 six-cylinder models are the three-passenger landau-roadster ai $1360; four-passenger coupe at $1600; and seven-passenger limousine at $2500. The four-cylinder models include the Mhree-passenger landau-roadster, in addi- tion to the touring car and roadster types. One of the most striking refinements in: the series 17 cars 1s the divided front seat effect. The front seats are of the individual type of construction and are adjustable fore and aft. CAR RUN 22,000 MILES IN ELEVEN “MONTHS A Seattle, Wash., owner of a Cadillac Eight has‘ driven his car 22,000 miles in the last 11 months. This is an average of 2000 miles a» month, or better than 66 wiles per day. The ordinary motor car owner in a city will drive an average of probably 6000 miles per year. This Cadillac is the first of the eight- cylinder type delivered to a Seattle buy- er. In spite of the fact that the distance it has covered is nearly equal to the earth’s circumference, it has never been overhauled and the owner has just com- | pieted a tour of 1400 miles in California. The car was shipped to San Francisco ard from there driven to Los Angeles by the coast route and back by the valley route. A number of side trips were taken, and two mountain ranges were crossed, one through the famous San Marco pass. The fastest day’s travel was from Bakersfield, Cal., to San Fran- cisco.

“LOUIS POST-DISPATCH CHASSIS MADE OF GOLD ONE OF THE EXHIBITS AT NEW YORK AUTO SHOW — Three Hundred Cars on Display at What Is Declared to Be the Biggest and Best _ Exhibition Yet Held. — By Leared Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 1.—Obviously the biggest and best automobile show ever is on at the Grand Central Pal- ace with 200 cars that leap in price from $350 to goodness knows what. The development in automobile making places the present exhibition which opened yesterday high above any of the other 15 shows that have preceded it, while the greater num- ber of cars are much lower in price than they were in previous years. The attendance is heavier than it has been before, and &. A. Miles, gen- eral manager of the exhibition, says that with properity so widely ex- tended this year should be the great- est in the automobile Iine that the business could hope. The show is under the auspices of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce and occupies the first, sec- ond, third and fourth floors of the Palace. In addition to cars of unique designs and fittings there is a com- plete display of the accessories. The place is tastefully decorated in ma- roon, blue and gold. One of the exhibits which first attracts the visitor is a gold chassis of the Studebaker. To make. this $25,000 was spent. 350 Ounces of Gold Used. The Studebaker folk, more than 350 ounces of 14-kKarat wold in the finish of nearly 400 parts in the construction of the car, have thig item of their exhibit guarded by four or five trusted men who work under orders to nab the first person who tries to chip off any part of the machine for a sou- venir. Only in this way can it be ' hoped to keep all of the chassis at the show until next Saturday night. There are many other novel cars at the show; for instance, the Fer- gus. Itg builders are J. B. Ferguson Ltd. off Belfast, Ireland. Ferguson is an Englishman, but there are. so many English cars, and there having been no Irish automobile, Ferguson, accompanied by Ltd., went to Belfast where both of them got to work. That accounts for two of the 3006 cars on exhibition, but for a moment one must diverge to a general dis- cussion .of the show, which was well attended yesterday, The fortunes won in Wall street on war brides brought out scores of men who last year would have been unable to pur- who used chase a roomy, comfortable wheel- barrow. L. A. Singer is responsible for the decorative idea, intended to represent the “Palace of Motoria.” “Motoria” hag been added to mythology’s cast and is the goddess who presides over the destinies of the automobile in- dustry. Present indications are that the young woman is to be royally feasted by her thankful subjects this year, for the thousands of persons who went to the Palace were largely of the class that buys. Exxhibita Delayed by Storm. A few exhibits that are not in their places because of storm-swept trans- portation lines, will be set up today. The Show Committee, which is made up of Col. George Pope, chairman; William C. Leland and Alfred Reeves, general man- ager of the National Automobile Cham- ber of G6émmerce, are enthusiastic “in their belief that nothing has been left undone to make this exhibition break all records. Four of the exhibits have V-type 12- cylinder motors. There are 18 varieties of eight-cylinder cars, and one make with air-cooled engine, the Franklin, which is the only automobile using that device. About one-third of the chassis models sell at $1000 or !ess. Aside from the~ decorations the col- ors of the cars attract attention, and not one color in the book is missing. LETS CAR RUN OVER HIM The Common h Motor Company, Limited, of Richmond, Va., recently participated in a novel stunt to prove the spring strength and easy riding qualities of Dodge Brothers cars. At the Virginia State Fair one of the track attractions was “‘Buhler, the Auto Fiend,’’ who allowed a loaded motor car to run over him at a speed of 20 miles per hour. 3 Dodge Brothers car was selected by the fair officials to be used in the act and WLouie R. Phelps, manager of the Commonwealth Company, determined to take advantage of the stunt to demon- strate the easy riding quality of the car. Consequently he filled it up each time with prospective buyers who were thus given the opportunity to see how easily the car rode when jolting over the prostrate man. Buhler also testified to the spring action of the Dodge Broth- ers car by declaring that the shock to film was much lighter than with other makes of cars. gee Hes, — [EXCLUSIVELY SIXES FOR PAIGE COMPANY On general policy: the Paige-Detroit Motor Car Co, stands pat for the new season, in spite of all exceptional condi- tions in the labor and material market and unmoved by tendencies here and there to experiment with fancies in de- sign and mechanics. The Paige is confining itself exclusively to the six field, in which it has made its overwhelming success, and this com- pany opens the year 1916 with two mod- els, the five-passenger six ‘38,’ selling for $1050, and the seven-passenger six ““46,"" selling for $1295. For the latter chassis, however, there are several addi- tiong] body styles, the cabriolet at $16), the coupe at $1700, the sedan at $1900 and the town car at $2250; also a limousine soon to be added. This is the Paigne line and the company’s exhibits at all automobile shows for the year will be based on these models and body styles. The announcement is also made that the company has figured on a pro- duction of about 20,000 cars and is guar- anteeing its 1500 dealers immediate de- liveries. Of the two basic models of the Paige line special attention is called to the light six, the Fleetwood six ‘38. a five- passenger car at $1050, because’ the changes and improvements in this are more marked than in the larger model, the Fairfield seven-passenger six ‘‘46."’ The Fleetwood six ‘38,"’ which replaces the Hollywood, last season’s light six, is offered as a better car with greater values from every angle. - joined eiihes CHEAP GASOLINE BEST One of the most interesting dis- closures recently made in connection with the research work which is go- ing on continually at the Cole Motor Car Co. is that the Cole Fight-cylin- der car—-about which the activities at the Indianapolis plant are centered —can be operated most effectively on the cheaper grades of gasoline. This word, coming on- the heels of the reports that in several cities over the country automobile dealers were organizing to combat the high cost of motor fuel, has proved gratifying indeed to the owners of multiple cyl- inder cars. “Strange as it may seem, says C. P, Henderson, general sales manager of the Cole Motor Car Co., “our con- eern has discovered that the cheaper grades of gasoline give better results than high priced gas. In several] sec- tions of the United States( gasoline with a specific gravity between 68 and 70, selling for 15 to 18 cents a gallon, has been found impracticable, while the low test gas with a specific gravity from 50 to 60, and selling from 10 to 12 cents a gallon, has been found to give the best results. “Exhaustive tests as to the best grade of fuel for use in the eight- cylinder Cole were carried on in Pittsburg recently under the direction of A. B. Smith, factory superintendent of the Cole Motor Car Co. It was definitely determined that the high test gasoline boiled easily and that all efficiency was lost when the boil- ing point was reached. Low test gas was found to be the best in every respect.” patie.

C. Ru> schaw replied: ‘‘We not only did not accept the order, but we are not look- ing for business from those countrics at this time. “We feel that good business policy dictates that we take care of our home trade before going after the other and with our present factory facilities we find it absolutely impossible to catca up with the domestic demand for mo- tor trucks. ‘The truck business has gone by leaps and bounds during the last year and it seems as if at last this branch of the automobile industry, to the de- velopment of which we have all looked forward, is finally coming into its own. “Why, we ship more motor trucks in a week now than we used to ship in 1 year and still the orders come faster than we can make the trucks.” QUALITY SEAL ON BUTTON “The honor mark of a great com- pany.” By those words, Mr. Gunn, characterizes the seal of the United States Rubber Company. The seal here- after is to be more than a trademark. It is to be the standard mark of the largest rubber company in the world, he said. In his opening speech. before the con- vention of the United States tire sales- men in Detroit, Mr. Gunn said in part: “T want you to be heiped and made proud by coming to a fuller knowledge of the dignity and strength of the Unit- ed States Rubber Company that you may help it to a greater dignity and strength. ‘*You have just been given a button or pin bearing the insignia of your com- pany, and you will wear it, but I charge you to wear it with pride and care for its reputation. “This seal has been placed on certain articles of its manufacture: on those of known and tried quality and it should represent to you and your customer all that is comprehended in the honor mark of a great company. “TI charge you not to wear this seal unless you can do so sincerely and with a desire to guard and keep that stand- ard high. “No corporation can build permanent- ly unless it builds honestly.’’ NEWELL ON LOCUST ST. The Newell Motor Car Co. is moving from 308 North Twelfth street to 3002 Locust streel, where they will be per- manently located after Jan. 1.

Cries of ‘“‘Kick him out’’ and “Choke the jobster’ interrupted the proceedings, and finally reeulted in a grand rush for the nose-puller by some oO the enraged hearers. He was grabbe by the coat collar and unceremoniously and swiftly moved toward the door. When the man first sat down and be- gan loudly tearing out a throat-hawk, the audience shifted nervously.

Every case of catarrh, of course, fs not fatal. Nor does every cage result in consumption or bronchitis, but neverthe- less they are verv frequent. No man or woman knows what his or her case of catarrh will lead to. Men of robust health have succumbed to resulting« con- sumption and partial idiocy. Women of strong vitalitv have become nervous wrecks and victims of bronchitis. Your good health is not always a preventive against the catarrh germs, The more you feel sure there is no Ganger of the catarrh resulting In-a dis- ease more serious, the more danger there is; simply because you neglect yourself. This happens in hundreds cof cases and we recorded almost daily in the letters we receive. ‘If I had only start- ed earlier.”’ is a very frequent expres- sion, showing that our warning is not fanciful, but based on fearful reality. Even slight cases of catarrh may re- sult in nose cancer, than which there is hardiy a more pitiful affliction in -this world. see it Catarrh Fatally Fequent. Some of the frequent results of Ca- tarrh are bronchitis, pneumonia, death, and decay of bones, ioss of thinking and reasoning power, death in ambition and energy, loss of appetite, indigestion, dys- pepsia, ulceration, bad breath, raw throat, raw sores in the nose, general debility, and sometimes idiocy and in- sanity.

A merican theater goers of the past gen- eration remember his vivid portraval of “Gthello ’ In this character he was un- surpassed. He lived the part of the jeal- ous Moor, holding audiences spellbound in the splendid tragic climax. Edwin Booth played Iago during one of Sal- vint's American tours and it is said he was actually afraid of the raging trage- dian. He always cautioned those who were to restrain Othel'o in his mad rush Salvini at lage. Saivini toured the United States seven times. On one of his last tours of Kurope he played in St. Petersburg. After the play the public waited outside the theater for him until 2 o’clock in the morning with the temperature 29 degrees below zero. The crowds then escorted him through the street like a conquering hero to the palace of Prince Viadimir, where he was a guest. Salvini was born in Milan in 1829 and acted as a child with his father. He ce- serted the stage temporarily at the age of 20 to fight for Italian independence in the revolution under Garibaldi. He served as a Corporal at the siege of Rome. When the war was over he re- turned to his art, joining the famous Adelaide Ristori’s company. At the age of 27 he was celebrated throughout iu- rope. He made his first visit to the United States in 1875. On the eightié€th anniversary, of Sal- vini's birth the Italian people held a national jubilee. The Government struck off and presented him a commemorative The city of Rome honored him He retired from active staxue life in 193.

WILSON Speaker to Refuse to Be Candi- date Unless President Does Not Desire Second Term. By Lensed Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—The World this morning prints the following dispatch from Washington: “Friends of Speaker Champ Clark to- day discussed the stories recently pub- lished of af proposed coalition between the Speakér and William J. Bryan to elbow President Wilson out f the nomi- nation af the forthcoming Democratic National convention. “While Clark has denied the story from New Orleans, placing himself defi- nitely and iinally on record in favor of giving Mr. Wilson a second nomination and standing squarely with him on the preparedness issue, the Speaker's friends say there is but one contingency in which the Missourian would accept the nomination. It is this: “If President Wilson should see fit to announce formally chat he does not desire snother term, and Bryan would state publicly that he desired to square his account with Speakcr Clark for hav- ing snatched the nomination from his hand at Baltimore in 1912, then the Speaker would be pleased to head the Democratic ticket in 1916. This would give the Missourian the support of President \\*'son and his friends, as well as that of the Nebraskan and his following on party~ranks, which is still believed to be considerable. “Under no circumstances w'll Speaker Clark consent t. make a fight against President Wilson's nomination, his friends sa- So far as the President is concerned, Speaker Clark has buried the memories of the 1912 co:.ention. He did not chavge Mr, Wilson with responsi- bility for ‘is downfall in that coiven- tion, and when he buried the hatchet it Was’ planted deep and. the eartn packed over it. “Some of the Speaker's friends goto the extent of. declaring that the Mis- sourian would not accept the vresidency at the expense of a reconciliation with Bryan, and certainly not unless the Ne- braskan took the initiative and acknow!l- edged publicly and. formally that he ‘double-crossed’ the Speaker in 1912. They do not think there is even the re- motest possjbility of a reconciliation be- tween the two men on any such basis, especially in view of Mr. Clark’s formal announcement that he stands behind the preparedness program.”’ Receives Medal From the Kaiser.

Peee TURE OUTLOOK BRIGHT Egeeceeee The New Year generally brings -| with it a determination to make .a *| fresh start, and thig takes hold of ‘| the whole cotton traje. Everyone ex- pects the market to do great things ‘| aS soon ag the trade has recovered -; from its two days of idleness. Among the holders of cotton there is a feel- ing of great hopefulness and that is bounded by 15c for midiling cotton. But there are some people who be- lieve that a cessation of fighting in hLurope would mean 20c for middling. Inasmuch as we know nothing about when the war will end, it is just as well to make calculations based on present conditions. That present prices, around I2c for middling: are justified fs reasonably assured by the fact that cotton sellers are able to secure such prices week in and week out. The maintenance of the present price level, however, seems to depend upon the wisdom of the farmer. It depends |! ly upon whether he has business gs enough to sell his cot- ton and not fiol4 for the extreme high price. If is a matter of common know!l- edge in the aye business that far- mers seldom, { gever, realize the top of the stein Fg that is beeause the top of the market means simply a point to which prices have been arbi- trarily ‘carried by speculative influ- ence, a point not justified by eco- nomic conditions; and the price of cot- ton cannot be sustained at tnis ar- tificial level for very long. Generally, | after one of the artificially high mar- kets, the reaction carries prices low- er than real conditions justify, and unsettles business and makes manu- facturers wary of btying. oo it is that the sane marketin cotton, selling when prices are eg and not holding unreasonably, makes for a steady and satisfactory market.

This would in- dicate that the cash market influence Was out of line with futures, and that speculation for the rise had been car- ried higher than warranted tn the face of continued heavy receipts at primary markets, and a slackening of export demands due to the recent wide ad- Vance in prices. Pit traders, who were recently long on the market, now are tavoring the seil- ing side on the strong spots, and in the aggregate this clasa of selling has a cecided tendency to check bullish en- thusiasm, after an advance iike that which occurred In the last two monthe. Corn futures sold at record prices in the week, then dropped back rather sharply as the trading closed. At the moment receipts are unusually small as compared with last year, and this placed the December option in a posi- tion where it could be easily manipu- lated. The corn, however, is on the farms—A near record crop—and later in the year when the crop has been cured and dried out by cold weather there may be a decidedly more bearish story to tell on the coarse grain. Oats were A sharp break marked the close of the local wheat market last week, after prices had been carried to new record figures on the crop. The set- back on the last day of trading amounted to over 2c, but still left values higher than in the early ses- sions of the week At the moment future prices have worked into a position where senti- ment is decidedly mixed over the out- look. Quotations are approximately as high as at this time a year ago, while now supplies of wheat in the world are officially estimated at around 500,000,000 bushels more than last year. In the Unitea States alone the year’s yield was placed at 1,011,- 000,000 bu, compared with 891,000,000 bu last year, and conservative easti- mates are that the amount of wheat in farmers’ hands is largely in ex- cess:.Of last year, cespite the fact that the movement of wheat to primary marketg has exceeded all records in the history of the country. Supplies Must Teil. Sooner or later these supplies must tell, especially when values are ad- vanced on such news as was used late last week the announcement that wheat ipments would, be routed around Cape Horn, rather than through the Suez Canal, and that this would mean a delay of three weeks in delivery, increase freight rates, and force foreign buying.to the more available American market. It was lost sight of, however, that the change in shipments did not in any way reduce the supply of wheat} in the world's markets, and that the higher prices are forced on such de- velopments the more violent must be the ultimate adjustment of values, should anything happen to change the complexion of the war’s develop- ments in Furope. ye linois Central grake ry bh eee ee eee eee eee eeeeeeeaeeee gersaesels > S + hon see Aansas Gxt" mim Seoteeek.

As one who is interested in ar welfare of you. country, it Is your duty to fee that its future eltizens—your children— are properly brought up, away from the sa- loon and dance hall influence and the artifi- mt life of. a ol e city: Fa in the country. We want you to reaHze your dream. But you will have to. quit *‘dream- ing’’ and wishing and begin to act, and now, right now, is the proper time to start. ou ‘Oh, what's the uge; there will be in America 140 ’ that’s all well and good; there is just as week land in FEnglawe and Germany today as there was a hundred vears ago, but who owns it-—-not the workingmen, Land in this country is concentrating in the hands of the few, and unless the American working man wakes up gy acts: he will find gt a mere peasan nd entirely at the ercy of the eee, a like his "leas fortunate Srothe ers are across the seas. Don't wait ull you have saved enough to buy a farm ‘‘worth while.’’ The surest way is the safest way. Buy a few acres at a time. It doesn’t re- quire a fortune.to own a 10-aere farm, and 10 acres, big as four city blocks, are enough for any family. We have proof that one acre has produced and can be made ‘to pro- duce 1200 bushels of potatoes, yet the average farmer et more than that fram his 10 acres: it's like everything else, whether it’s the ‘‘men behind the gun’’ or the ‘‘man behind the plow:” it’s all up to you; a 10-acre farm can now be had for $200; only $i0 down, balance to suit your pocket book, as low as 17 cents a day; in case of sickness payments stop and in case of your death the company will give your wife or babies deed to the land without further payments. You pay no interest or taxes till you get your warranty deed. That's fair, isn’t it? This is a real message of good cheer; start the new year right—don'’t wait for luck to. “‘come’’ your way; this is your reali luck. Remember that a squirrel hides nuts for the winter: eyen a Gog buries a bone for tomorrow; don’t you think that vow ought to provide for that ‘rainy day” that is bound to come?

Profit by Following Rules. Co-operative organizations knowns as ‘eee circles,”’ of until about a year ago, are already playing an important part in the poul- try raising industry of certain sections. Briefly defined, an eg¢ circle is an or- ganization of farm poultrymen who |4gree to market only eggs of high standard, pooling them in order to mar- ket them more advantageously. One such odrganization that has made & conspicuous success is the “Qual- ity Egg Circle’ of Lyon County, Kan., This club is in fact a federation of neighborhood egg circles with headquar- ters and a central orgaPization at Em- poria. By adopting and enforcing a very strict code of rules and regulations, the quality of the eggs is kept up to the highest standard and this fact is making it easy to find a market, several cents a dozen higher than loéal prices. The regulations of the organization provide that eggs must _be gathered at least once a day ordinarily, and twice On Very cold or very warm days. They dry place until marketed, which is ta, be done at least twice a week. Every member must agree to pen up or in some other way get rid of all males during the summer season, beginning June 6 and ending Sept. 1 At first thought it may seem that these regulations would be difficult to enforce, but by the system of records kept, this is simplified. Every member of the organization is provided with an individual stamp. Every egg must be stamped with the member’s number, which makes it an easy matter to trace bad eggs to the farms from which they though. almost unheard f a ARIES SS a OC OE Single-Comb Rhode Island Red Pullet From Choice Flock SINGLE’ ne ISL . eae PULLET. - » * came. Repeated offenses mean the loss of the stamp and hence the helder’s membership. Eggs are delivered at Emporia, where a warehouse with packing rooms and shipping facilities is maintained. Every neighborhood circle makes its own ar- rangements for getting the eggs to town. The usual plan is to have mem- bers take turns in collecting and livering the eggs. The practice has been to allow a price of a cent a dozen more than was paid by Emporia commission houses. At the end of every month ac- counts are balanced and accrued profits are prorated among the members ac- cording to the quantity of eggs they have marketed during the month. de- ter to avold crowding chicks ih a. brooder, but so many brooder manu-— facturers overrate the chiek capmeity of their_brooders and do not reabise that doubled to put more than 50 chicks In any of weeks the chicks have It is not advisable, two in size, in the ordinary sized brooders.

This fault is not confined te breed- erg only; it frequently occurs in the coops. For some reason chicks ¥ pile up until dozens are semothé If every poultry raiser looked every dead chick as representi much money they would be more careful to reduce this loss, which will total up a far greater amount than most of ug would belleve, By too often, when one hatching am rearing season is over, these losses and trials are forgotten, and next season the losses occur as before._A_ substantial ald would be to make. rovision for reasonable room in the yprooders and coops ang keep them clean, Best to Set Several Hens at Same Time When hens are to de the hatching it is a good pian to set as many of then: as possible at one time. Then in about five days or a week test the egus for fertility, removing all infertile ones. The fertile eggs may then be combined tnia +few sittings, while fresh eggs may be given to those hens left without eggs. There are two advantages in folléwing out this practice of testing. First» the infertile eggs tested out early may bo used as feed for new chicks, The few’ days of incubation will net have Hert them for this purpose. They should be “4 hard boiled and shell and all mixed vo together In feeding. The second tage ie that the sitting hens kept at work toe their full When sitting hens are scarce or, large numbers of early chicks are ed and the time ite short, this will be of considerable help, shipped out by express. To sell them thus rpquires some advertising tn eal papers, but just a few oe ae a me more orders than I eas fill, and tainly more than enough to repay the small expenditure. “I keep pure-bred brown Leghorns and Inet year could have sold wee many eggs if I’ had tag therm.

Clean eggs of uniform color and weigh- ing 24 otinces to the dozen, are included in the first grade, if packed In neat cartons. The second grade takes in eggs that weigh no less than 21 ounces per dozen, and neatly packed. By keep- ing the quality of the eggs up to a high standard a reputation has been built up and a first-class trade is being served, among the buyers being the Harvey eating house system of the Santa Fe Railroa hotels, reatatirants, etc., all of whorh.are willing to pay a good premium for the product if it is de- pendable. The organization early realized the value of advertising and all cases of eggs sent out are conspicuously lettered with the company’s name. Other ad- vertising material is sent out with the eggs, calling attention to their quality, and other good features. in short, the organization is wisely applying modern business methods, and as is to be ex- pected, they are making the vyenture pay. |Many Chicks Die in Overcrowded Broeders Nature has her own way of even- ing things up, What we refer to in this instance is the overcrowding of chicks in brooders or elsewhere when quite young. When 100 chicks are crowded into a e@pace only large enough for 60 it is pretty certain that nature will thin them otit by the usual methods of indigestion and of colds resulting from being over- heated and crowded too much.

In addition to ah tmposing num- ber of sales and big exchanges, Steck effected an unprecedented number of loans, the money in the most instances being obtained for building purposes. Idle capital, he is of the opinion, now could be most advantageously employed in the realty and building fleld, prices of both improved and untmproved property being at comparatively low levels. Among the sales recently closed bv Steck was that of Hart's Hall at the southwest corner of Semple and Easton avenues, the price realized being $36,000. Other sales effected through his in- strumentality included an etght-farniiyv building at 4577-838 Kennerly avenue at $12,000; a flat at 1318-24 Warren street, at $9000, and a flat at 4775 Greer avenue. at $5000.

St. Charles street is obviously reflect- ing the revival on Washington avenue and on Olive street, sites on this thor- oughfare having been chosen for two of the most noteworthy structures promot- ed during the past year. Bank and Theater Buildings. — The Mercantile Trust Co. has secured a 9-year lease of the southeast corner of Bighth and St. Charlies streets, to- | gether with the vacation of a blind alley lying on its south, and will, as soon as possible, begin the erection there of an addition to cost $500,000. The present building of the trust company, of which the addition will be a duplicate, occu- pies a quarter of a block at the north- east corner of Eighth and Locust streets. A feature of the enlarged structure will be an arcade extending from Locust to St. Charles streets, together with an Mercantile Trust Co. and its twin, the Mercantile National Bank, of both of which Festus J.

The Weisels-Gerhart Real Estate Co., which has been handling the Allys Apartments, will continue their man- agement for Messrs. Freund. The largest sales outside the business centers was that of a building at 2808- 14 Locust street by Charles Thunner to the Beaumont Real Estate & Mercantile Co. for $70,000. The improvements consist of a two- story brick building together with a one-story store, occupying a lot 100x150 féet. : The site is valuable by virtue of its location, which is midway between the business district and the Lindell-Locust eut-off. e The sale was effected by the Easton- Taylor Trust Co., which h:-ndles both ends of the transaction. Two Houses Sold. The Henry Helmenz Realty Co. closed the week with the sale of a handsome house at 4142 Flora boulevard to Robert N. Walker, of the United Elevator & Grain Company. The house, which was owned by Philip J. Danermann, is three stories and contains 10 rooms.

This is one of the best and most ex- clusive parts of the West End, the cor- ner selected by Banister forming a most alluring site for the proposed improve- ment, especially for stores. An attrac- tive feature of the location is ifs prox- imity to Forest Park, together with its street car advantages. The Frank Obear & Son Realty Co. ef- fected the sale of the corner to Banister on behalf of Bixby. IN NORTH ST. LOUIS AEMGHTS INCREASE Sales of bungtlows and lots in North St. Louis Heights, a comparatively new subdivision in Northwest St. Louis, have been a notable feature of the move- ment in this part of the city. Sixteen bungalows have already been } built and sold in this subdivision. Three others are in course of construction, with negotiations virtually closed for the pur- BUNGALOW SALES could. be foreclosed that the deed of trust and notes should be produced and exhibitej to the trustee, and be- fore a trustee’s deed could be re- corded it was necessary to produce the deed of trust and notes to the Recorier of Deeds, who should certify thereon that the deed of trust had been foreclosed. The Exchange also had introduced two bills, one relating to the recog- nition of the registration certificates issued to corporations upon compli- ance with the State law, so that titles to property would not be re- ported upon the contingency that the corporation owning the property had complied with such State law; the other provided that in landlord sum- mons suits for possession of prop- erty, that where the summons could not be served in the usual method and personal service could not be had upon the defendant, that a copy of the demand and summons could be posted upon the premises. This would make it possible to evict many tenants who evade service. Owing to the strenuous prohibition campaign being conducted in Jeffer- son City it was impossible to et active service upon these bills. Be- sides these many other measures were oppose4 which would simply add burdens to property owners without anv consequent benefit to them. The Real Estate Exchange has al- ways taken Sa: active interest in legis- lative affairs, keeping ‘close scrutiny on all bills introduced in the Board of Al- dermen. During the last year the ex- change has taken action on the follow- ing bills: Billie Acted Upon by the Exchange. It opposed Board bill No. 50, providing for the creation of a Municipal Elec- trical Inspection Department and the appointment of a ghief electrical inspec- ror. This work has been previously done by the Fire Prevention Bureau for the insurance companies. This work was done satisfactorily and at a reason- able cost by the Fire Prevention Bu- reau, and for that reason the bill was opposed bythe Exchange. The bill passed, however, over the objection of the Exchange. The Exchange also took an active in- terest to defeat Board bill No. 33, pro- viding for the extension of the city fire limits to tnclude nearly the entire city except a small district in the northwest and southwest sections.

CIENCE has accom plished wonderful and beautiful results in lessening infant mor tality. But while oc- ecuplied in preventing the slaughter of the innocents, it has, in numbers more and more appalling, abandoned to massacre by dis ease society's most valuable members—the men and women above 40 years of age who have reached their prime of useful- ness to the community. This is the arresting assertion made by Dr. E.. H. Lewinski- Corwin, executive the Public Health Committee of the New York Academy of Medi- cine. In the last 30 years, he as- serts, the mortality rate in this country has increased at least 20 per cent among persons above the age of 40. This sounds like a paradox, he admits, because statistics show that the general death rate decreased from 19.8 persons per thousand in 1880, to 13.9 in 1912. But the two facts may be readily reconciled. Science has so im- mensely increased the number of persons who survive infancy and adolescence as to overbalance the great enhancement of the death rate ameng persons of middle age. He points out that the diseases which science umphant in opposing are the diseases of infancy, child- hood and early adolescence—such as measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, diarrhoea and enteritis, tuberculosis and typhoid fever: while the diseases of middle age have almost as appreciably increased their ravages cancer, apoplexy, heart failure, Bright's disease, dia- betes and diseases of the bleod vessels. “A really effective battle for public health will be- gin,” says Dr. Lewinski-Corwin in a recent article, “when the general public becomes thoroughly apprised of the great wastage of human life and national eff- ciency that is taking place in middle life. “The mean death rate among persons above 40 years of age in the registration area was 29.85 in 1900, and 30.74 in 1910, an inerease of 3 per cent in. one decade! During the 35 years since 1880 the death rate Sah among persons of the age of 40 and over increased % 21.2 per cent in Massachusetts and New Jersey, states for which adequate data are available. “Careful governmental and 0private statistical studies have established, beyond doubt, that the com- paratively higher tendency of mortality begins in mid- die life, and is already strikingly noticeable at the age LeP’ The mortality rate after 40 years hans increased 20 per cent in the last 320 years, has been most tri- Pn ans” ime oe Ae secretary of ° [oR = A LEWINSKI as Prof. Fisher pute it, the cause of death given in the death certificate is often merely the ‘last straw’ of a terrible load gradualiv inulated through life. ‘Diseases of ehildhood and adolescence have cumulative aft- years have made if, or, ace \i- er-effects. Medical science re cords a great many instances where renal, cardiac, vascular and other troubles follow .in the wake of the acute infections of early life. “This contribution to our un- derstanding of the phenomenon in question is of great interest and importance, but meets the problem in part only. The dis- eases of the higher age groups have frequently been the natural sequence of @e early infectious diseases ever since these infections came into existence.” Why the rate in the so-called terminal diseases should have increased when the primary causative fevers have declined in frequency is a question to which the writer says the sociologist and hygienist offer the true answer. “Ij] adaptation to a changing, exacting and unwholesome environment, plus the unhygienic habits and faulty nutrition of the masses,” explains he, “are responsible for the early formation of new, or the early aggrava- tion of latent, lesions of the vital organs of the body. “The ever-growing speed and tension of our life, the insanitary condi- tions under which we live, work and play, the un- wholesome tendency of extreme specialization and standardization, the constantly occurring industrial changes and displacements which, in connection with internal migrations, rural exodus and foreign immi- gration, produce appallingly large numbers of misfits; together with ignorance, intemperance and immoral- ity—all and every one of them contribute towards health decadence and wastage of life. “There are at least three theories offered in ex- planation. The selection theory attributes the in- ‘crease in death rates in the higher age groups to the fact that the saving of lives in infancy and child- hood has added to the population a great number of weaklings with less than the average resistance and vitality. eo “This explanation looks plausible, but does not stand criticism; and is based on specious grounds. First of all, baby saving and child welfare campaigns are of so recent origin that they could not have had any influence on the death rates of people who at the present time come within the age groups under ‘consideration. Science has triumphantly opposed infantile disease. Ps a CORWIN IT\f of 40, at the period of greatest usefulness and efficiency of the average person. “The experience of life insurance ‘tempanies eonfirms the inferences which are to be drawn from official mortality reports. Students of this grave sociological phenomenon estimate that in the last 30 years the mortality rate of this country has increased at least 20 per cent among people above the age of 40, and that the increase has not’ yet reached a culmination point, as deaths from degenerative maladies are increasing from year to year. “A million instances could be cited to show that a man is at his best between the ages of 40 and 65. A symposium in a German paper two years ago showed what a fine fellow was the man of 50. Dr. Stephen Smith, at 92, not long ago gave his recipe for a worth-while longevity before the National Conference on Race Betterment at Batile Creek, Mich. ‘Live in the present,’ he said. ‘Associate with the voung. Refrain from remin- iscences.’ “J. Pierpont Morgan did his greatest work after 55. Edison, at 68. is at the zenith of his fame, and, not to strain the point, George Washing- ton was 43 when he began his fight to free our country. “The youngest President of the United States was 42 when he was inaugurated, and, with five exceptions, all the rest were between 50 and 65. The world’s greatest writers, musicians and actors have practically all done their best work after 40. “These impairments caused by the common contagious diseases form the basis of the second hypothesis, which I will designate as the medical theory. The essence of it is contained in the terse sentence of one writer to the effect that the organism at 40 is little more than what the preceding “Again, modern preventive measures shield many people from various fevers common to childhood, which very frequently enfeeble the body and make it more susceptible to diseases of later aga As showing sciéenece’s success in dealing with diseases of childhood and youth, he points out that since 1901 the death rate from diphtheria has dropped almost 40 per cent; and that of enteritis and diarrhoea, in children under two years of age, declined 33 per cent. The typhoid fever rate of 1912 was half that of the average annual rate in the five years from 1901 to 1905. But on the other hand, steady and considerable increases have been noted in the diseases of middie age. in the registration area of the United States, which covers 65 per cent of its territory, cancer in 1912 killed 46,531: apoplexy, 45,753: heart disease, 86,179, and Bright's disease, 55.765. Te get the total for the country, these figures should be increased one-third. “To sum up the conditions that confronts us,” he concludes, “the diseases showing steady increase are not the diseases of early life. They are the ones that attack us later. It is quite natural, some will say, that if by prevention and skillful medical attendance we cut down the deaths of childhood, they must increase in old age, as we cannot escape death. Yes: but does the increase from diseases of the heart, blood vessels, kidneys and brain stand in any such natural causative relation? Does the natural inerease in the death rates begin in the later age groups, past the productive period of life, when senility sets in” “Unfortunately not, and this is a most scathing arraignment of our modern nerve-and-health-wrecking civilization.” ; How Nature Provides a old maxim that dae aan te first law of nature is com- monplace, and some instances of its truth have recently been cited by Benjamin C. Gruenberg, 6 voted naturalist. Kxzeerpts from one of his articles on the subject follow: ‘*Contraction under stimulation is a common thing among living beings.

Some plants, however, can do a great deal of moving in eon- ate with the capture of insects and other animals. Other plants are eapable of movement when disturbed. ‘The sensitive plant,’ quickly den- bles up its leaflets and drops the leaves when disturbed by a slight jar or quick touch. The ‘use’ of this movement has been discuss*d by many ob- servers and thinkers; but it is not necessary for us to assume that the move- mest is of any real value to the plant. Thus, during rain, the plant sheds the water better, with the leaves in this position. But hundreds of plants with similar leaves have no difficulty about shedding rain without being so sensitive. Many plants (clever, oxalis, and others) drop their leaflets in the dark, in 2 few minutes. **Te elude the vision of the enemy must be of real adv to any animal.

The true chameleon is a native ef Africa, and the American chameleon or green lizard qhickly change their tracted state there is we Means of Self-Defense eolor through a wide range of shades, from bright green to rather dull brown. These changes are brought about by the contraction or expansion of the various parts of the skin, containing different pigments. Careful experiments show that the color changes are produced by a response to tem- perature changes, or by the intensity of the illumination, rather than by the color of the background. ‘That these changes are protective may never- theless be true, since to a large extent the amount of light or heat in a given situation may correspond to the colors. This possibility is supported by the curious fact that while the Anolis quickly changes color to match that of a natural background, it dees not respond te the color of a background colored with aniline dyes. | ‘*Manv animals belonging to different classes are just as sensitive to the eolors of the surroundings, and respond by a change of body eolor. A these are species of reptiles other than the ‘chameleons,’ amphibians, like the tree toad and the leopard frog, many fishes and molluses of the cuttlefish family. Experiments with many fishes show that the change in color can in Bo way be interpreted as ‘voluntary,’ at least in certain species. For pr im some fish the color changes take place just the same after the animal has been blinded. Or a quick slap will produce the same effect as a rapid change in the temperature of the water, or the passing of a shadow. In some fish the color changes are produced by simply shaking a stick in front of the fish.

And yet some people say Englishmen are slow She laughed gaily and tarned to face him. His voice took on a subtle quality of polite insistence: “Surely you met him somewhere before Gibraltar.” How could I, when this is the first time Capt. Wooed- house has been out of Egypt for years?” “Who told you that?’ The General was quick to catch her up. The girl felt a swift stab of fear. On the instant she realized that here was somebedy attempt- ing to drive into the mystery which she herself could not understand, but which she bad pledged herself to keep inviolate. Her voice fluttered in her throat as she answered that Woodhouse himself had told her. “He did, eh? Gave vou a bit of his history on first meeting. Cenfiding chap, what! But Miss Grer- son-—-you've been to Egypt, you say?” No, General.” Jane was beginning to find this cross-examination distinetly painful. She felt that already her pledge, so zlibly given at Capt. Woodhouse’s insistence, was in- volving her in a situation the significance of which might prove menacing to herself—and one other. She could sense the beginnings of a strain between herself and this genial elderly gentleman, her host. “Do you know, Miss Gerson,” he was speaking soberly now, “I believe you and Capt. Woodhouse have met before.” “You're at liberty to think anything you like, Gen- eral—the truth or otherwise.” Her answer, though given smilingly, had a sting behind it. “I’m“not going to think much longer. I'm going to know!” He elapped his lips shut over the last word with a smack of authority. “Are you really, Gen. vou, Crandall?” The girl’s eyes hardened just perceptibly. He took a turn of the room and paused facing her. ‘The situation pleased him no more than it did his breezy guest, but he knew his duty and doggedly pursued it. “Come—come, Miss Gerson! I believe you're straightforward and sincere or I wouldn't be wasting my time this way. Ill be the same with you. This is a time of war; you understand all that implies, I hope. A serious question concerning Capt. Woodhouse’s posi- tion here has arisen. If you have met him before—as I think you have—it will be to your advantage to tell me where and when. I am in command of the Rock, you know.” He finished with an odd tenseness of tone that con- veyed assurance. of his authority even more than did the sense of his words. His guests, her back to the table on which the roses rested and her hands bracing her by their — tense grip on the table edge, sought his eyes boldly. “Gen. Crandall,” she began, “my training in Hilderbrand’s store hasn’t made me much of a diplomat. All this war and intrigue makes me dizzy. But I know one thing: this isn't my war, or my country’s, and I’m going to follow my country’s example and keep out of it.” Gen. Crandall shrrgged his shoulders and smiled at the girl’s defiance. “Maybe your country may not be able to do that,” he declared with a touch of solemnity. “I pray God it may. But I'm afraid vour resolution will not hold, Miss Ger- son.”’ “I'm going to try to make it, anyway,” she answered. Gibraltar’s eommander, baffled thus by a neutral—a neutral fair to look on,,in the bargain—tried another task. He assumed the fatherly air. “Lady Crandall and I have tried to show you we were friends—tried to help you get home,” he began. “You've been very good to me,” Jane broke in feel- ingly. “What I say now is spoken as a friend, not as Gover- nor of the Rock. If it is true that you have met Wood- house before—and our conversation here verifies my suspicion—that very fact makes his word worthless and releases you from any promise you have have made not to reveal this and what you may know about him. Also it should put you on your guard—his motives in any attentions he may pay you cannot be above sus- picion.” “T think that is a personal matter IT am perfectly capa- ble of handling.” Jane’s resentment sent the flags to her cheeks. Gen. Crandall was quick to back water: ‘ Yes, yes! Don’t misunderstand me. What I mean to say is” He was interrupted by his wife’s voice calling for Jane from the near-by room. Anticipating her inter- ruption, he hurried on: , ‘ “For the present, Miss Gerson, we'll drop this matter. I said a few moments ago I intended shortly to—know. I hope I won't have to carry out that—threat.” Jane was withdrawing one of the buds from the jar. At his last word, she dropped it with a little gasp. “Threat, General?” “Tl hope not. Truly I hepe not. But, young woman’— She stooped, picked up the flower, and was setting it in his buttonhole before he could remonstrate. | “This one was fer you, General,” she said, and the truce was sealed. That minute, Lady Crandall was waft- ed into the room on the breeze of her own staccato inter- ruption. “What's this—what's this! . Flirting with poor old George—pinning a rose on my revered husband when my back’s turned? Brazen miss. I'm here to take you off to the gardens at once, where you can find somebody younger—and not near so dear—to captivate with your tricks. At once, now!” She bad her arm through Jane's and was marching her off. An exchange of glances between the Governor and Hilderbrand’s young diplomat of the dollar said that what had passed between them was a confidence. Jaimibr Kban announced Maj. Bishop to the General a2 short time later. The Major, a rotund, pink-faced man of 40, who had the appearance of being ever tubbed and groomed to the pink of parade perfection, saluted his superior informally, accepted a cigarette and crossed his plump legs in n easy chair near the General’s des‘.

Once more he read the note, then held a match to it and scuffed ite feathery ash with his feet into the rug beneath his stool. The fortitude which had held Joseph Almer to the Rock im the never-failing hope that some day would bring him the opportunity te do a great service for the fatherland came near crumbling that minute. He groaned. “Our friends,” he whispered. “Wood- house and Louisa—-trapped!” The warning in the note left nothing epen te ambiguity for Almer; there were but four ef them-—‘friends” under the Wilhelmstrasse fellowship of danger-- there in Gibraltar: Louisa, the man who passed as Woodhouse, and whose han: was to execute the great coup when the right moment came, himself, and that other one whose place was in Government!

I trust Jaimibr implicity, and he can do the job smoothly. Now, Bishop, what do you remem- ber about 1907—something we can lead up to in con- versation, you know?” The younger man knuckled his brow for a minute, then looked up brightly. | “I say, General, Craigen was Governor then. But— um—aren't you a bit—mild; this asking of a suspected spy to tea?” “What can I do?” the other replied, somewhat testily. “I can’t clap an officer of his majesty’s arms into prison on the mere say so of a drunken outcast who has no proof to effer. I must go slowly, Major. Watch for a slip from this Woodhouse. One bad move on his part, and he starts on his way to face a firing squad.” Bishop had risen and was slowly pacing the room, his eyes on the walls, hung with many portraits in oils. “Well, you can’t help admiring the nerve of the chap,” he mutterdd, half to himself. “Forcing his way on to the Rock—why, he might as well put his head in a cannon’s mouth.” “T haven't time to admire,” the General said shortly. “Thing to do is to act.” “Quite right. Ninteen-seven, eh? Um”"—— He paused before the portrait of a young woman in a Gainsborough hat and with a sparkling piauant face. “By George, General, why not try him on Lady Evelyn? There’s a fair test for you, now!” “You mean Craigen’s wife?” The General looked up at the portrait quizzically. “Skeleton’s bones, Bishop.” “Right: but no man who ever saw her could forget. I know I mever can. Poor Craigen!” “Good idea, though,” the older man acquiesced. “We'll trip bim on Lady Evelyn.” | Jaimibr Khan appeared at the double doors. “The General sahib’s orderly,” he announced. The young subaltern entered and saluted. : “That young man, Gen. Crandall, the onc Sergt. Crosby was to escort out of the lines to Algeciras”-——— “Well, what of him’? He's gone, I hope.” “First train to Madrid, General; but he left a mes- sage for you, sir, to be deliyered after he'd gone, he said.” “A message?” Gen. Crandall was perplexed. “fg Sergt.

His was now the imperative duty to earry warning to the two suspected, not to waste time in idle speculation as to the identity ef the betrayer.

i LL of us have heard a great deal about the | fascinating espionage systems of Europe —of the subtle network of agents which Germany spread over the continent; of England’s secret police; of the beautiful but deadly Russian sirens against whose wiles few Ambassadors were proof, and without whom no best seller of a ‘few years ago was complete. All this was very romantic and thrillingly dreadful, we thought; it was all right for the effete monarchies of Europe, but it would never do for Uncle Sam. That gentleman, personifying ourselves, was quite too in- genuous, trustful and benevolent to fall in with such practices. Yet things have been happening recently which have made some of us suspect that our Uncle Sam was not quite so innocent and credulous as he looked. For in- stance, Victériano Huerta some months ago started on a little jaunt down through Texas. With a promptness which suggested that such celerity was not altogether an accident, he was nabbed and lodged in a cell; it de- veloped that he had been planning to make a swoop into Mexico and stir up things a bit for Venustiano Carranza. Then came a number of revelations connected with the war. A long arm stretched out from somewhere— and several gentlemen became very busy confessing or denying that they were engaged in amiable little con- spiracies for forging passports, blowing up American factories and ships laden with American-made munifions, and sending dynamiters into Canada from this cvuntry with designs upon our northern neighbor's canals and = v@ ne ‘ft Rpg ae ore: . tie ae ie SRDS | pie hal ee, Ss Fadl eee ye EE 7 —_ — Pan) 1 ey ° ; h ; we y aT ae toe by A Ts ae a s - ‘ : ‘ , $28,000,00 neater iene ee 7 ‘ ; i .

The fact is that Uncle Sam has all the time had up his sleeve one of the most efficient Secret Service establishments in the world. He has paid and is paying for it the good, round sum of $28,000,000 and more a year. Of course, his army of agents are not known by any name so harsh as that of “spy.” Mercy, no! titles as operatives; investigators and ex- aminers. To them even the word “detec- tive’ is obnoxious. But if spy means, as it primarily.does, one who keeps his eyes open and sees things, then Uncle Sam’s force of Secret Service men are eminently entitled to the name. 2 At a recent meeting of; the Cabinet, it was reported, the agreement was reached that. in case of emergency, the entire forces of the operatives in all of the various de- partments of the fhational Government would be mobil- ized for the task of maintaining the neutrality of the United States. For the present, 420 postoffice inspectors, men of first-rate quality in their profession, were de- tached to assist William J. Flynn, the astute Chief of the Secret Service proper, and Supt. A. Bruce Bielaski, of the Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice If Uncle Sam finds needs to concentrate his complete resources in tried and trained detectives, he will have a formidable force at his back. Some of the statistics are enlightening. The Treasury Department alone pays its operatives in wages and expenses about three-quar- ters of a million dollars a year. Among some of the items are $200,000 annually paid to customs detectives: $161.000 to the Secret Service—meaning the govern- mental branch known by this name and not the whole system, and $175,000 to the inspectors charged with enforcing the opium laws. The Interstate Commerce Commission: pays its agents the sum of $775,000 a year.

It has been so ever since the European war began. The American “shadow,” invisible, intelligent, persis- tent and patient, is without an equal in the world. Seemingly, he is a compound of the Indian and the white man at their best. If he vanishes, a ready sub- stitute takes his place. Perhaps the daily reports of the “shadows” in the service of the National Government, as they bear upon the transactions of alien and naturalized plotters and disturbers, will never be known, even in their essence, to the public. They are locked in the secret archives of Washington. Few are the eyes which have seen them. Published, they might dan- rerously arouse or enrage the na- tion. But the names are there, in ink and on paper that are lasting. The whole record has been written out by American detectives while events shaped themselves. As the days go by, the record will be continued. The “shadow” does not sleep. He never grows weary. His feet are forever on the trail. Moreover, his pen each night is active. It may- be called bad-mannered and impolitic, when one is found out, to follow at the heels of a diplomatist: but the movements of aliens, high and tow, uniformed and medaled, or self-effaced in overalls and jumpers, have been watched in this country ever since Europe drew its sword and tried to whet it on the rest of the universe.

That is one of his habits and professional char- acteristics. ‘“‘He never forgets and he never gives up,” s another proverb about Flynn. He toiled seven years—‘steadily hammering,” as he aconically explains—at a wonderfully organized band of Italian blackmailers, counterfeiters and assassins.

He became Chief, with headquarters at the national capital, in December, 1912. Bielaski belongs to an entirely different type from Flynn. The Bielaskis are Methodists. The father of the young detective was a preacher and had charges in Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia. There were preachers, too. on the other side of the family. After graduating at the business high school in Wash- ington, some 14 years ago, Bielaski went into the Gov- ernment printing office as a laborer. A laborer. in any of the departments at Washington, is a person who has not passed a civil service examination. His salary® is low and his duties various. Often he writes in books like a regular clerk. . Bielaski made headway, attended law lectures at George Washington University and played baseball. . Each Government department has a ball club of its own. All of the clubs form a league. Bielaski played so well for the printers that he was transferred. still as a laborer, to the Department of Justice, not because of general merit but for the reason that the ball team of that department needed his services. In the course of time he became a fulkfledged clerk and was put to work in the division of investigators or examiners. The examiners of the Department of Justice travel over the country and scrutinize the accounts and behavior of Uncle Sam's employes in the Federal courts. In a few years Bielaski rose to be superintendent of the department's Bureau of Investigation. While Col. Roosevelt was President, members of Con- gress were greatly incensed and even chrown into a panic by a very confidential and mysterious report that they were being professionally observed by the secret service, Their lives, so they were told, were being investigated. both at home and in Washington. When they went forth after dark, they were assured, a “shadow” noted their goings and comings and all the stops intervening. If they called or were called on, names, and if not names. then descriptions, were carefully written down and trans- mitted, presumably, to Mr. Roosevelt. What the members of Congress heard was not true. except in the cases of those who were publicly charged with doing unlawful acts. Nevertheless, Congress re- fused to appropriate any more money for the secret serv- ice unless its activities were confined entirely to the prevention of counterfeiting, the capture of counter- feiters and the protection of the person of the President of the United States. — Since that time, about six years ago, the secret serv- ice has been somewhat reduced. But a new detective force has been rapidly built up in the Department of Justice. Flynn, Chief of the secret service, is probably being used now on work in nowise connected with cotinterfeiting, because he is the ablest, most resourceful and most suecessful detective in the employment of the National Government The bureau of which Bielaski is chief has several di- visions and is even more mysterious than the secret It has men in all large cities and special men in smaller places, who are open to call by the Govern- ment. They are not known to one another, and if any of them tries to exploit himself in the newspapers he is dismissed summarily. The pay of investigators be gins at $3 a day, with money for expenses. Experienced men of the bighest class receive $12 a day.

ANY stories of the sagacity and faithfuiness of dogs belonging to soldiers in the European trenches have been told, but the following in many respects is the best of the lot. It was brought to this country by the Rev. J. J. Billingsley. pastor of 8t. Stephen's M. E. Church en New York City. and is as follows in his aden words: 4 MAN (Sergt. Jacquimin of Third Regiment Zou- aves) from Chambray, in Savoie, had enlisted in the French army as a Zouave, and was sta- tioned in Algiers at the outbreak of the war. When his regiment was ordered to,France and embarked on the transport, a dog (named Fend l'aire) was left behind for ostensible reasons. But just as the ship moved away from the dock the dog was Seen swimming out to the ship, following his master, who was aboard. It goes without saying that he was at once taken aboard, and became a popular favorite. “Arriving in France, the regiment to which the Zouave belonged was sent by rail to the front. As dogs are not al- lowed on military trains. and as dogs cannot be cared for in army life, espe- cially in trench life, the dog was left be- hind a second time. But when the train reached its destination in Belgium and the soldiers poured out of the coaches, the dog surprised everybody by jumping out of a box car, leaping and jumping about his master in great glee. How he boarded that train is a secret that belongs to the dog, but he did it and kept an eve on his master until he left the train. “Through the days and weeks following the dog was with his master in all the vicissitudes of those embattled times, ac- WR P30 oN tee TaN a ole Aen Nee a Ce Be be My. 2 * f an % , é y " woe pa AG .

They were pals and chums under strange and trying circumstan¢es. “One day during a violent bombard- ment by heavy German artillery, an im- mense shell struck the parapet of the trench and killed and wounded about a dozen men, covering and burying this man deeply under soft, falling dirt. When the soldier becamé aware of what had happened to him, and ‘felt himself going to discouragement” oii. wounded soldier himself: ‘They brought me to the ambulance post at Rochincourt, where my foot was taken off. shoe and all; it hung only by a tendon. From there I was carried on a stretcher to Anzin. then in a carriage to another ambulance post, where they carved me some more. My dog was present at the first opera- tion. An hour after my departure he escaped and came to me at Anzin.’ “At last when it was determined to send the wounded man to the American to use his own way of putting it, that loyal dog compan- ion. that had never left him since the be- ginning of the war, arrived upon the seene of action, and, as we Americans put it. ‘got busy... There was only one thing for him to do, or that he could do, and that he proceeded to do at once. He scratched away the dirt from about his master, who, because of his numerous wounds from that shell, was unable, at first, help himself. “Then, when he had partly uncov- ered his master, the dog went into an ad- joining trench and, seizing the clothes of a soldier in his teeth, pulled him toward his unfortunate master, - who was found to be in a most deplorable con- dition. Other |] diers being called. they soon dug the Zouave out, finding the lower part of his right leg was torn off, the left wounded in the calf, a piece of shrapnel in his back, two fingers blown off and the right arm burned. “What followed is thus related by the The dog—nicknamed ‘‘Tue-Boéhe."’ hospital at Neuilly, just out of Paris, the two friends, it seems, had to separate. Abbe Klein, the priest who looked after the spiritual welfare of wounded Cath- olics at this hospital, says of this separa- ey SE o First the animal dug into the soft dirt until his master’s face appeared. ““At the railway station the Zouave begged to take his dog along, and told his story; but the field officer, touched though he was, could not take it upon himself to send the dog on a military train. The distress of man and beast was so great that more than one nurse had tears in her eyes as the train pulled out. “*Thev tried to pet the dog, dubbed him ‘lue-Boches (Kill-Germans), offered him. dog delicacies of all sorts, but in vain. He refused all food and remained for two days “sad to death.” Then some- one went to the American hospital, told how the dog saved the Zouave, and the upshot of it was that the faithful animal, duly combed and passed through the dis- infecting room, was admitted to the hos- pital and recovered both his master and his appetite.’ “At the decoration of the Zouave with the French Military Medal of Honor, which took place publicly in the Hos- pital, the dog is shown looking over his back at the photographer. The soldier is standing with crutches, the dog at his feet.” The refusal of the French military authorities to permit dogs at the front in certain localities is not reflected else- where in the battle lines. The Belgians frequently use dogs as beasts of burden to draw light carts and, in the army, to transport light machine guns. The ani- mals can be trained to a remarkable sa- gacity. They not only are “ourageous under fire, but they are also very dis- ereet. A well trained dog can be of vast help on a picket line, keeping silent ex- cept upon the approach of an enemy and then giving tongue. There are countless stories of how one has given the alarm when stealthy night attacks were being made and it is not reasonable to suppose that all of them are without foundation. If a woman living in this country buys a pearl necklace or a sable coa‘ in Paris, London, Berlin or Vienna, a customs de- tective (though he may cal! himself a spe- clal agent, an investigator, an inspector or what not) learns of it, there on the spot. A letter or a cablegram brings the news to this side of the Atlantic. What follows needs not to be gone into here at any length. The woman pays, either in New York. when she lands, or, as has happened more than once, at her home in the West. There is in the Treasury also a thor- oughly organized corps of accounting and financial detectives, whose duty it is to see that national bankers obey the laws enacted for their government and the conduct of their business. These men are known as examiners, but they are spe- clalized detectives. When they dig out a criminal they nptify Bielaski, so that he, with his lawyer-detectives, may work up the proof of guilt in the case.

When still a mere boy, he joined the Home Guards of St. Louis, and later, when only 19, became a First Sergeant in the Fourth Missouri Volun- teers and served with this regiment until the close of the war.

He has endured and enjoved alike the bumping of the old-style coaches For branches at different points throughout the State; at these points they made their bank notes redeemable, so, to procure the gold for this issue, presentation at the several points was necessary. These branches, in some instances, were located at towns in remote parts of the State, and, as in those days railroad communication was much less common than now, it sometimes became a matter of considerable inconvenience to make such pres- entation. The other St. Louis banks and bankers, there- fore, as a matter of economy and convenience, adopted the plan of exchange between themselves of this cur- rency held—one bank taking what was payable in one section and another that which was made payable in other neighboring localities: the currency was then held until a sufficient amount was on hand to justify the sending of same, by messenger, for redemption. “This was easy enough when the town to be visited was on the line of a railroad, with express company fa- cilities; quite different, however, with places without railroad or express company, in some cases reached only by a 50 to 60 mile stage coach ride. “The scheme with such towns was to express the cur- rency to the nearest point thereto having an express company office, addressed to the messenger who was to go out on the errand of gold collecting and sending thereto by mail, for his identification, the messenger’s signature. The messenger would follow, and in due course would apply for the package, take it to the place of redemption, get the gold and send it back to St. Louis through the same channel. “The transaction was a perfectly reasonable and equi- table one, but this was not conceded by the branch banks and a feeling arose to the effect that the city banks were raiding the country towns and robbing them of their gold. In some of these towns this impression grew quite intense, violence was threatened to oppose any such invasion, and -methods of per- sonal insult were actually resorted to. “It was during this condition of affairs, in the fall of 1858, that the present cashier of this bank (Mr. Thomson), then | & young man of 21 BE.

Civet oil, in its culti- vated state, Is used as a “fixer” for delicate perfumes. In its natural state, civet oil is a perfume that would searcely be called delicate. In fact, it is about the most undelicate perfume im- be- sense of aginable, as anybody can testify who has encountered it unexpectedly at first hand. That more or less of the scent of crude civet oil should perpetually hover over, through and around the village of Modoc is scarcely surprising when it is mentioned that in an enclosure of ‘five acres near the place there are something like 1400 captive polecats. It is one of the most populous skunk settlements in America. Here the skunk not an unwelcome guest. His presence means several thousands of dol- lars a year im revenue. Moreover, nobody minds a more or less permanent odor, as witness those who live in Chicago, or in Armourdale, Kan., or on our own downtown river front when the wind is strong from the northeast. One can get used to any- thing-stockyards or skunk farms. The Modoc skunk farm is the property of two brothers, F. A. and Ulysses S. Thompson. KF, A. spends most of his time in St. Louis. Ulysses S., who is the Modoc barber and town Marshal, looks after the farm. Thanks to their 1400 pets, the brothers are the nabobs, the plutocrats of the village. The polecat is a visible, tangible asset—easily convertable into cold, unaromatic cash. The Thompson brothers were natural trappers and, up to a few years ago, counted upon their catch of. fur-bearing animals for an important part of their income.

He is the beau sabreur, the the insouciant, devil-may-care adventurer. Confident in his powers of offense and defense, he goes carelessly about his way, asking only to be let alone. He is not looking for trouble, neither is he avoiding it.

Contrary to a popular impression, the characteristic effluvium is ab- sent, except when he wishes to employ it with sinistwi— motives. He is extremely careful to keep his own per-'< son free from the taint, for, otherwise, he would find it impossible to creep upon the small animals that are his legitimate prey and he would be continually betraying himself to larger animals that prey on him. He can live for weeks tnder a house without the human oceu- pants getting the slightest sensory evidence of his pres- ence, or he can trot along 10 feet away from one with- out the nose revealing his dangerous proximity. He is positively immoral in the way he conceals so much * natural wickedness under such a handsome and suav@—— exterior. The oil he employs with such effectiveness i a yéilow He is also a the trapper’s viewpoint, as a skunk is worth anywhere from $3 to $6.50, depending upon the markings. But skunks were getting scarce. The trouble and expense of catching them almost ate up the profits. So the Thompsons hit upon the bright idea of raising their own skunks. Three years ago, they captured one male and five female polecats, all of “three-quarter” markings, that is to say, with stripes running more than half way down the back. These they enclosed in a chicken-tight wire fence, with an upper fringe of galvanized wire 26 inches high, to prevent the captives from escaping. The fence extended in a semicircle, its back being a high, rocky bluff. The ground was of rock, so that the skunks could neither climb out nor dig out. Skunks breed rapidly and produce from six to*ten young at a litter. New captives were added to the originals as rapidly as they could be taken. Thus in three years the total grew into well over a thou- sand. The cost of feeding them is small. They enjoy carrion and every dead horse in the neighborhood ulti- mately finds its way into one of their two corrals—there are two of them now—the hide of the horse . selling for enough to pay the cost of the careass. In adition there is a ration of chopped corn, which costs about $250 a year. Also, when a skunk has been skinned and its fat removed, the rest of its -body is thrown into the corral and is esteemed by the surviving rela- tives of the deceased as a highly palatable morsel. There is enough Sate dirt in the dens for the captives to burrow ‘and find winter quarters. Some- times 30 to 40 of them live in a single hele.

The animal can discharge either or both capsules at will, and his aim is astonishingly accurate. One would never think it, but he is very miserly with this fluid. He will not waste it and will even try all kinds of bluffs to avoid using it. With animals anywhere near his own size, the skunk prefers to fight with tooth and claw. The conclusion, when one is in the neighborhood of a skunk’s recent operations, that be has fired all the oil in the universe is premature. It smelis that way, however, and this is a pardonable error. When at large the skunk finds mice, gophers, worms, inseets and reptiles acceptable fagd. while his favorite dish is a grasshopper.

S. aero- nautical officers. °° 33 NCLE SAM has just made his first modest venture in the businesg of supplying, himself with a fleet of dirigible war balloons. It is true that his air navy consists so far of just one dirigible, and that it is only about half as large as the big Zep- pelin dreadnoughts whose raids have terrified Lon- don. But there must always be a beginning, and in this single new balloon the exponents of pre- paredness may take heart, considering it as the precursor of other larger ones to come. America’s first naval airship has been virtually completed in the shops of an aircraft manufacturing plant at New Haven. It will be assembled soon at the Portamouth Navy Yard, where the Government aeronautical experts will decide whether it fulfills the specifications. If so, it will be. delivered at the floating hangar which is building at Pensacola, and which will be the airship’s permanent harbor. The craft is 175 feet long; jts maximum height is 50 feet, and its greatest beam is 35 feet, increas- ing, when the fins are attached, to 50 feet.. The vol- ume of the envelopes is 115,000 cubic fget, and each It isn’t much compared with the new- || beginning and will serve as a Fas = Sets - = = ——— = z <F aietr — ee = = : — 4 rr iis valloonette has a capacity of 15.000 cubic feet. The dead weight of the machine is specified at 4000 pounds, while the lifting capacity is 7800 pounds, leav- ing the carrying capacity in the vicinity of 3800 pounds of useful load. The dirigible is to be driven by a 150-horsepower motor, through two four-blade propellers. The maximum speed is specified at between 25 and 35 miles an hour, and this can be maintained for a period of five hours The dirigible will be capable of rising to a height of 5000 feet. What armament the dirigible will carry has not been revealed, but her capacity of nearly two tons of useful .load points to the possibility of her being equipped with a store of high-explosive bombs and perhaps a machine gun or so. | However, from the information that is available, the -eraft is designed mostly as a training ship, on which Officers and men will receive practice for the work which is to come when larger airships are built. Plans for the first of these, to be twice as large as the one now completed, have already been drawn. Dirigible balloons have been familiar in the country for years, but they were all toys, carrying usually only one passenger, and used for exhibition purposes at fairs and the like. It required the great European conflict to d@mpress upon this country the fact that the dirigible ‘alid@m is an indispensable arm in modern warfare. in view of our backwardness in aerial matters, it ig ‘nteresting to recall that Count Zeppelin, as the Ger nan military attache with the Federal troops during the Civil War, learned the lessons which he was after. wards to use in carrying the science of aerial warfare. as regards lighter-than-air craft, to its present develop ment. That America has made only the smallest of begin- nings is apparent when one considers the advancement Germany has made. Just how many war dirigibles the Kaiser has may not be known, but several months ago — the factory at Friedrichshafen, with 2000 emploves, was able to,turn out one every 11 weeks, and that capacity probably has been increased by this time. Even before the war, Germany had built military dirigibles that would carry from eight to twelve men and its latest goliaths can carry 40 men and officers and two tons of explosives. Flying at an altitude of 2000 feet, they can go 1000 miles in 24 hours. For patrol work at less speed they can remain aloft for several days. If it be assumed that the average weight of each man it carries, is 150 pounds, the larger Ger- man balloons can carry a load of 12,000 pounds to a height sufficient for all practical purposes, can fly 500 miles, set off its explosives where they will do the most business and get back home again between noon of one day and noon of the next. For short spurts, some of the more powerful ones can attain a speed of about 70 miles an hour. Moreover, the bigger one is, the higher it can fly and height is a great desideratum in these days of high angle anti-aircraft guns. Some of these guns, it is true, have a range of 20,000 feet and the Zeppelin cannot. get much higher than 7500 feet. But at that height and moving rapidly it is rather more elusive than one of those ball targets kept up by jets of water in some target galleries. At the same time, it must be remembered that the military importance of dirigibles is probably overestimated. Certainly the lessons of the Eu- ropean war have showed an almost complete failure on their part to demonstrate what was expected of them. Within the last year Germany has lost more than 17 Zeppelins, all built at high cost. To balance this there is little more achievement on record ~ —~~. 2 than efficient scout service and even this has been surpassed by the scouting of the lighter, fleeter and less expensive aeroplane. In theory a machine that can carry 40 men, two tons of bombs and fiy 1000 miles continuously ought to be a deadly weapon. : But the Zeppelin is almost entirely prevented from daylight attacks because of its bulk and its unwieldiness when counter attacked by aeroplanes. At- night, a reasonably sufficient defense is in keeping a city dark, for when the pilot is 2000 feet or more in the air, over a strange country with all landmarks ob- iterated, he cannot expect any reasonable certainty of laim. A few months ago a British official report said that not a single military casualty had happened in England as a result of Zeppelin raids. However, the Germans have remained confident that the Zeppelin is to demonstrate its supremacy in the air, and, instead of being discouraged, are building larger and faster ones all the time. Their greatest problems shave been to attain the needed control when the load is suddenly lightened by the discharge of a bomb. aves Why You Can't Be Both Athletic and Beautifu “But before you become an artist’s inspiration,” contin- nes the star model, “you must expel from your mind certain. false impressions of studio life probably lingering there. There are, of course, different classes of artists and of ‘ models, as“of every other pursuit or profession in this world. But the real artist is more than likely to be a zentleman. Audrey Munson, “Venus of McDougall Alley” and Herself a Famous Model, Says That Athletics Overdevelop the Muscles, Destroying the Natural Beauty of the Form. IRLS, you may be beautiful and not know it!” So says Alidrey Munson, girl model, otherwise known as the “Panama-Pacific Girl,” the “Venus of McDougall Alley,” and the “Inspiration of Washington Square," where many artists have their etudiog in New York City. “Mothers and fathers,” says Miss Munson, “are not the best judges of the child. Sometimes the ‘Ugly Duckling’ or ‘Plain Ness’ of the family circle becomes the sensation of the art world. The artist alon@is the proper judge of the face for his canvas. He can often find character and beauty in features which the average person thinks plain.” Follow these suggestions which she sets forth and your face or form may perchance become im. mortalized: , “Don't make up! “Face rouge. lip rouge, powder, etc.. are not § allowed in ‘commercial’ (advertising and costume posing). “The beauty.” Bechew all athletic exercises!

The darkness enabled the half-blinded’ visitor, coming in out of the bright light, to knock over gracefully a $200 vase that had come from Japan to meet disaster in New York. In a corner of the room was seated, in a deep and luxurious armchair, a most beautiful woman She was the wife of the son of the richest man in America; she was young; her husband was devotedly fond of her; she was mistress of a palace; anything that money could buy was hers did she but express the wish; but she was weeping softly, and had just made up her mind that she was the most miserable creature in all the land. if a stranger had entered the room he would first have been impressed by the fact that he was looking at the prettiest woman he had ever seen; then he would have been haunted by the idea that he had met ber somewhere before. If he were a man moving in artistic circles he might perhaps remem. ber that he had seen her face looking down at him from various canvases in picture exhibitions, and unless he were a stranger to the gossip of the country he could hardly help recollecting the dreadful fuss the papers made, as if it were any business of theirs, when young Kd Druce married the artists’ model, celebrated for her loveliness. Everyone has read the story of that marriage; goodness knows, the papers made the most of it, as is their custom. Young Ed, who knew much more of the world than did his father, expected stern opposition, and, knowing the unlimited power unlimited wealth gave to the old ‘man, he did not risk an interview with his parent, but eloped with the girl. The first inkling old man Druce had of the affair was from a vivid sensational ac- count of the runaway in an evening pa- per. He was pictured in the paper as an implacable father who was at that moment searching for the elopers with a shotgun. Old Druce had been too often the central figure of a journalistic sensa- tion to mind what the sheet said. He promptly telegraphed all over the coun- try, and, getting into communication with his son, asked him (electrically) as a favor to bring his young wife home, and not make a fool of himself. So the er- rant pair, much relieved, came back te New York. Old Druce was a taciturn man, even with his only son. He wondered at first - that the boy should have misjudged him as to suppose he would raise objections, no matter whom the lad wished to marry. He was bewildered rather than enlight- ened when Ed told him he feared oppo- sition because the girl was poor. What difference on earth did that make? Had he not money enough for all of them? If not, was there any trouble in adding to their store? Were there not railroads to be wrecked; stockholders te be fleeced; Wall street lambs to be shorn? Surely a man married to please himself and not to make money. Ed assured the old man that cases had been known where a sus- picion of mercenary motives had hovered round a matrimonial alliance, but Druce expressed the utmost contempt for such a state of things. At first Ella had been rather afraid of her silent fa- ther-in-law, whose very name made hundreds tremble and thousands curse, but she soon discovered that the old man actially stood in awe of her, and that his ap- parent brusqueness was the mere awkwardness he felt when in her presence. He was anxious to please her, and worried himself wondering whether there was any- thing she wanted. One day he fumblingly dropped a check for a million dollars in her lap, and, with some nervous confusion, asked. her to run out, like a good girl, and buy herself something; if that wasn’t enough she was to call on him for more. -The girl sprang from her chair and threw her arms around his neck, much to the old man’s em- barrassment, who was not accustomed to such a situa- tion. She kissed him in spite of himself, allowing the check to flutter to the floor, the most valuable bit of paper floating around loose in America that day. When he’ reached his office he surprised his son. shook his fist In the young fellow's face, sternly: “If you ever say a cross word to that little girl I'l! do what I've never done yet—TI'll thrash you!” The young man laughed, “All, right, father. I'll deserve a thrashing in that case.” The old man became almost genial whenever he thought of his pretty daughter-in-law. ‘My little girl,” he always called her. At first, Wall street mon said old Drauce was getting into his dotage, but when a nip came in the market and they found that, as usual, the old man was on the right side of the fence, they were compelled reluctantly to admit, with emptier pockets, that the dotage had not yet interfered with the financial corner of old Druce'’s mind. As young Mrs. Druce sat disconsolately in her draw- ing room, the curtains parted gently, and her father- in-law entered stealthily, as if he were a thief, which indeed he was, and the very greatest of them. Druce had small, shifty piercing eyes that peered out from un- der bis gray bushy eyebrows like two steel sparks. He never seemed to be looking directly at anyone, and his eyes somehow gave you the idea that they were trying to glance back over his shoulder, as if he feared pursuit. Some said that old Druce was in constant terror of as- sassination, while others held that he knew the devil was on his track and would ultimately nab him. PAGE SIX. He and said i pity the devil when that day comes young Sneed said onee when someone had made the usual remark about Druce. This echoed the general feeling prevalent in Wall street regarding the encounter that was admit- ted by all to be inevitable. The old man stopped in t*e middle of the room when he noticed that his daughter-in-law was crying. he said; “what is the matter? ward been saying anything cross to you?’ “No, papa,” answered the girl. “Nobody could be kinder to me than Ed is. There is nothing really the matter.” Then, to put the truth of her statement be- yond all question, she began‘to cry afresh. The old man sat down beside her, taking one hand in his own. ‘“‘Money?” he asked in an eager whisper that Dear, dear!’ Has Ed- seemed to say he saw a solution of the difficulty if it were financial.

The Misses Sneed won't that’s all.” The old man knit his brows and thoughtfully scratched his chin. “Won't call?” he echoed helplessly. “No. -They think I'm not good enough to associate with them, I suppose.’ The bushy eyebrows came down until they obscured the eyes, and a dangerous light seintillate out from under them. “You must be mistaken.

He was face to face with a problem entirely outside his province. Sud- denly a happy thought struck him. “Those Sneed women!” he said in tones of great con- tempt, “what do they amount to, anyhow? They're nothing but sour old maids. They never were half so pretty as you. Why should you care whether they called on you or not?” “They represent society. i have all the money, and more, that It is nothing call on me, almost seemed to If they came, others would.” “But society can't have anything against you. No- body has ever said a word against your character, model or no model.” The girl shook her head hopelessly. “Character does not count in society.” In this statement she was, of. course, absurdly wrong, but she felt bitter at all the world. Those who know society are well aware that character counts for everything within its sacred precincts. So the unjust remark should not be set down to the discredit of an inexperienced girl. “I'll tell you what I'll do,” cried the old man, bright- ening up. “I'll speak to Gen. Sneed. tomorrow. I'll ar- AL YA aii tev/LdanbD bhai ans 2 nip ub Mi ; AO oe range the whole business in five minutes.” “Do you think that would do any good?” asked young Mrs. Druce, dubiously,. “Good? You bet it'll do good! It will settle the whole thing. I’ve helped Sneed out of a pinch before now, and he'll fix up a little matter like that for me in no time. I'll just have a quiet talk with the General tomorrow, and you'll see the Sneed carriage at the door next day at the very latest.” He patted her smooth white hand affectionately. “So don't you trouble, little girl, about trifles; and whenever you want help, you just tell the old man. He knows a thing or two yet, whether it is on Wall street or Fifth avenue.” Sneed was known in New York as the General, prob- ably because he had absolutely no military experience whatever. Next to Druce he had the most power in the financial world of America, but there was a great distance between the first and the second. If it came to a deal in which the General and all the world stood against Druce, the av- erage Wall street man would have bet on Druce against the whole combination. Besides this, the General had the reputa- tion of being a “square” man, and that naturally told against him, for every- one knew that Druce was utterly un: scrupulous. But if Druce and Sneed were known to be together in a deal, then the financial world of New York ran for shelter. Therefore when New York saw old Druce come in with the stealthy tread of a two-legged leopard and glance furtively around the great room, singling out Sneed with an almost imperceptible side nod, retiring with him into a re. mote corner where more ruin had been concocted than on any other spot on earth, and talking there eagerly with him, a hush fell on the vast assemblage of men, and for the moment the financial heart of the nation ceased to beat. When they saw Sneed take out his notebook, nodding assent to whatever proposition Druce was making, a cold shiver ran up the financial backbone of New York; the shiver communicated itself to the electric nerve web of the world, and storm signals began to fiy in the mone- tary centers of London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna. Uncertainty paralyzed thé markets of the earth because two old gamblers were holding a whispered conversation with a multitude of men watching them out of the corners of their eyes. “I'd give a million to know what those two old fiends are concocting,” said John P. Buller, the great wheat operator; and he meant it; which goes to show that a man does not really know what he wants, and would be dissatisfied if he got it. “Look here, General,’ Druce had said, “Tl want you to do me a favor.” “All right,” replied the General. with you.” ! “It’s about my little girl,’ continued Druce, rubbing his chin, not knowing just how to explain matters in the cold financial atmosphere of the place in which they found themselves. “Oh! About Ed’s wife,’ said Sneed, looking puzzled. “Yes. She's fretting her heart out because your two girls won't call upon her. [| found her crying about it yesterday afternoon.” “Won't call?” eried the Genera® a bewildered look coming over his face. “Haven’t they called ret? You see, | don’t bother much about that sort of thing.” “Neither do I. No, they haven’t called. I don’t sup- pose they mean anything by it, but my little girl thinks they do, so I said I would speak to you about it.” “Well, I'm glad you did. I'll see to that the moment | get home. What time shall I tell them to call?” The innocent old man, little comprehending what he was promising, pulled out his notebook and pencil, looking inquiringly at. Druce. “Oh, [ don’t know. Any time that is convenient for them. I suppose women know all about that. My little gir] is at home most all afternoon, I guess.” The two men cordially shook hands, and the market instantly collapsed. It took three days for the financial situation to re- cover its. tone. Druce had not been visible, and that was all the more ominous. The older operators did not relax their caution, because the blow had not yet fallen. They shook their heads, and said the cyclone would be all the worse when it came. Old Druce came among them the third day, and there was a set’ look about his lips which students of his countenance did not like. The situation was complicated by the evident fact that the General was trying to avoid him. At last, however, this was no longer possible, the two men met, and after a word or two they walked up and-dewn together. Druce appeared to be saying little, while the General talked rapidly and was seemingly making some appeal that was not responded to. Stocks immediately went up a few points. “You see, Druce, it’s like this,” the General was sav- ing, “the women have their world, and we have ours. They are, in a measure” “Are they going to call?” asked Druce curtly. “Just let me finish what I was about to say.

At a tap of the bell, Jaimihbr Khan appeared at the doors, so suddenly that one might all the way from nding have said be was right behind them all the time. Gen Crandall directed that his orderly be summoned. When the subaltern appeared, the General handed him a sealed note. “Orderly, turn this gentleman-over to Sergt. Crosby at once,” he commanded, “and give the Sergeant this note.”” Then to Capper: “You will cross to Algeciras, v here you will be put on a train for Madrid. You will have a ticket for Paris and 20 shillings for expense en route.

The Country’s Example. O you “now, my dear, $¢ Cynthia Maxwell is simply going to die with envy when she sees me in this!” The plump little mistress of Government House, standing before a full-length mirror, in her boudoir, Z 3 surveyed herself with intense sat- Ghz isfaction. Her arms and _ neck AL burst startling from the clinging ZY sheath of the incomparable < Doeuillet gown that was Jane Ger- son’s deuceur for official protection: in the flood of morning light pour- ing through the mullioned windows Lady Crandall seemed a pink and white—and somewhat florid lily in bloom out of time. Hilderbrand’s buyer, on her knees and with deft fingers busy with the soft folds of the skirt, answered through a mouthful of pins: “Poor Cynthia; out to her.” “Oh, it needn't!” Lady Crandall answered, with a tilting of her strictly Iowa style nose. “The Maxwell person has made me bleed more than once here on the Rock, with the gowns a fond mamma sends her from Paris. But, honestly, isn’t this a bit low for a staid middle-aged person like myself? I’m afraid I'll have trouble getting my precious Doeuillet past the censor.” Lady Crandall plumed herself with secret joy. Jane looked up, puzzled. “Oh, that’s Lady Porter—a perfect dragon,” the Gen- eral’s wife rattled on. “Poor old dear; she thinks the lord put-her on the Rock for a purpose. Her own col- lars get higher and higher. I believe if she ever was presented at court she’d emulate the old Scotch lady who followed the law of decollete, but preserved her self-respect by wearing a red flannel chest protector. You must meet her.” “I’m afraid I won’t have time to get a look at your dragon,” Jane returned, with a little laugh, all happi- ness. “Now that Sir George has promised me I! can sail on the Saxonia Friday” “You really must’—— The envious eyes of Lady Crandall fell on the pile of plans—potent Delphic mys- teries to charm the heart of woman—that lay scattered about upon the floor. Jane sat back on her heels and surveyed the melting folds of satin with an artist's eye. “If you only knew—what it means to me to get back with my baskets full of French beauties' Why, when | screwed up my courage two months ago to go to old Hilderbrand and ask him to send me abroad as his buyer -_I’d been studying drawing and French at nights for 4 three years in preparation, you see—he roared the dear old lion he is and said I was too young. But I-cooed and pleaded, and at last he said I could come— on trial, and so” “He'll purr like a pussy cat when you get, back,” Lady Crandall put in, with a pat on the brown head at her knees. . “Maybe. If I can slip into New York with my little baskets while all the other buyers are still over here, cabling tearfully for money to get home or asking their firms to send a warship to fetch them—why, I guess the pennant’s mine all right.” The eternal feminine, so strong in Iowa’s transplanted stock, prompted a mischievous question: “Then you won't be leaving somebody behind when vou sail—-somebody who seemed awfully nice and— foreigny and all that? All our American girls find the mognlight over on this side infectious. Witness me— a ‘finishing trip’ abroad after school days—and see where I’ve finished—on a Rock!” Lady Crandall bubbled laughter. A shrewd downward sweep of her eye was just in time to catch a flush mounting-to_Janes cheeks. “Well, a Mysterious Stranger has pfossed my path,” Jane admitted. “He was very nice, Wut mysterious.” “Oh!” A delighted gurgle from the older woman. “Tell me all about it—a secret for these ancient walls to hear.” Jane was about to reply when second thought checked her tongue. Before her flashed that strange meeting with Capt. Woodhouse the night before—his denial of their former meeting, followed by his curious insistence on her keeping faith with him by not revealing the fact of their acquaintrnce. She had promised—why she had profhised she could no more divine than the reason for my heart goes * .SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST.

More than once since that minute in the reception room of the Hotel Splendide Jane Uer son had reviewed the whole baffling circumstance in her mind and a growing resentment at this stranger's de- mand, as well as at ber own compliance with it, was ria.mg im ber heart. Still, this Capt. Woodhouse was ‘dWfierent,” and—this Jane sensed without effort to anaiyze—-the mystery which he threw about himself but served to set him apart from the conu:mon run of men. She evaded Lady Crandall’s probing witb a shrug of the shoulders it's a secret which | myseif do not know dall—and never will.” Back to the oerweening lure fancy of the General's lady betook itself. ‘You--don't think this is a shade too young for me, Miss Gerson?” Anxiety pleaded to be quashed. “Nonsense!” Jane laughed. ‘But I'm no chicken, my dear. If you would look me up in our family Bible back in Davenport you'd find’—— “People don't believe everything they read in the Bible any more,” Jane assured her. “Your record and Jonah’s would both be open to doubt.” , Lady Cran- of the gown the flitting “Capper dropped his hat. appeared at the door.” “You're very comforting,” Lady Crandall beamed. Her maid knocked and entered on the lady’s crisp: “Come!” “The General wishes to see you, Lady Crandall, in the library.’ “Tell the General I'm in the midst of trying on”’-—— Lady Crandall began, then thought better of her ex- cuse She dropped the shimmering gown from her shoulders and slipped into a kimono. ‘Some stuffy plan for entertaining somebody or other, my dear’—this to Jane. “The real burden of being Governor-General of the Rock falls on the General's wife. Just slip into your bonnet, and when I'm back we'll take that little stroll through the Alameda I’ve promised you for this morning.” She clutched her ki- mono about her and whisked out of the room. Gen. Crandall, just rid of the dubious pleasure of Billy Capper’s company, was pacing the floor of the library office thoughtfully. He looked up with a smile at his wife's entrance. “Helen, 1 want you to do something for me,” he said. “Certainly, dear.”” Lady Crandall was not an unpleas- ing picture of ripe beauty to look on, in the soft drape of her Japanese robe. Even in his worry, Gen. Crandall! found himself intrigued for the minute. “There’s a new chap in the signal service—just in from Egypt—name’s Woodhouse. I wish you would in- vite him to tea, my dear.” : “Of course—any day.” “This afternoon, if you please, Helen,” followed. — | His wife looked slightly puzzled. “This afternoon? But, George, dear, isn't that—aren't you—ah—trushing this young man to have him up to Government House so soon after his arrival?” She sud- denly remembered something that caused her to reverse herself. “Besides, I’ve asked him to dinner—the dinner I'm to give the Americans tomorrow night before they sail” Gen. Crandall looked his surprise. “You didn’t tell me that. I didn’t know you had met him.” “Just happened to,” Lady Crandall cut in hastily. “Met him at the Hotel Splendide last night when I brought Miss Gerson home with me.” “What was Woodhouse doing at the Splendide?” the General asked suspiciously. “Why, spending the night, you foolish boy. Just off the Princess Mary, he was. I believe he did Miss Gerson some sort of a service—and I met him in that way— quite informally.” “Did Miss Gerson—a service—hum!” . “Oh, a trifling thing! It seemed she bad only French money, and that cautious Almer fellow wouldn't accept the Genera! * At the tap of a bell Jaimithr Khan . & it C'amt.

And they met informally at the Splen- dide only Jast night.” Snepicion was weighting the Gen- eral's words. “Isn't that a bit sudden? i say. do you think Miss Gerson and this Capt. Woodhouse had met somewhere before last sight?” “I bardly think so--she op her first trip to the Con- tinent and he coming from Egypt. But"-—— ‘No matter. | want bim bere to tea this afternoon.” The General dismissed the subject and turned to his desk. His lady's curiosity would not be so lightly turned away, “All these questions- “ Be explained | ~aren't they rather absurd’? Is anything wrong?” She ran up to him and laid ber hands on his shoulders “Of course not, dear.” He kissed her lightly on the brow. “‘Now run along and play with that new gown Miss Gerson gave you. | imagine that’s the most tm- portant thing on the Rock today.” Lady Crandall gave her soldier-husband a each cheek, and skipped back to her room. was alone again, ( Resolution peck on When he en.

I want you to come to Government House for tea at 5 this afternoon. ; But run over for a little talk with me some time earlier— an hour from now, say. Rather important. Youll be here. Thank you.” Gen. Crandall sat at his and tried to bring himself down to the routine ing f accum u- lated papers thére. But the canker mind would not give him peace. Majof-General Crandall was a man cast in the stolid British mold; vears of army discipline and tradi- tion of the service had given to his conservatism @ hard grain. in com- mon with most of those high in command, he held to the belief that nothing existed—nothing could ex- ist—which was not dcewn in the regulations of the war office, made . and provided. For upwards of twenty-five years he had played the hard game of service—in Egypt. [n Aden, and here, at last, on the key to the Mediterranean. During all those years he had faithfully pur- sued his duts had stowed away in his mind the wisdom disseminated in biue-bound books by that corporate paragon of knowledge at home, the War Office. But never had he read in anything but fluffy fiction of a place or a thing called the: Wilhelmstrasse, reputed by the scriveners to be the darkest closet and the most _potent of all the secret chambers of diplomacy. The regulations made no mention of a Wilhelmstrasse, even though they provided the brand of pipe clay that should brighten men’s pith helmets and stipulated to the ounce an emergency ration. Therefore, to the official military mind at least, the Wilhelmstrasse was nonexistent. But here comes a beach-comber, a miserable jackal from the back alleys of society, and warns the Governor- General of the Rock that be has.a man from the Wil- helmstrasse—a spy bent on some unfathomable mis- sion—in his very forces on the Rock. He says that an agent of the enemy has dared masquerade as a British officer in order to gain admission inside the lines of Europe’s most precious stronghold, here to do mischief! Gen. Crandall’s tremendous responsibility would not permit him to ignore such a warning, coming even from so low a source. Yet the man found himself groping blindly im the dark before the dilemma presented; he had no foot rule of precept or experience to guide him. His fruitless searching for a prop in emergency was broken by the appearance of Jane Gerson in the door opening from Lady Crandall’s rooms to the right of the library. The girl was dressed for out-of-doors; in her arms was a fragrant bunch of blood-red roses, spraying out from the top of a bronze bowl The girl hesitated and drew back in confusion at seeing the room occu- pied; she seemed eager to escape undetected. But Gen. Crandall smilingly checked her flight. “I—I thought you would be out,” Jane stammered, ol r “And the posies,” the General interrupted. “Were for you to eljoy when you should come back.” She smiled easily into the man’s eyes. “They'll look so pet prettier’ here than in my room.” — ““Very goad of you, I'm sure.” Gen. Crandall stepped up to the rich cluster of buds and sniffed critically. Without looking at the girl, he continued: to me as though you had already made a conquest on the Rock. One doesn’t pick these from the cliffs, vou know.” “| should hardly call it a conquest,” with a sprightly toss.of her head. “But a young man sent you these flowers.

Druce, hang it all, don’t shove a man into a corner. Suppose | asked you to go to Mrs. Ed and tell her net to fret about trifles, do you suppose she wouldn't, just Secause you wanted her not to? Come now!” Druce’s silence encouraged the General to take it for assent. “Very well, then. You're a bigger man than I am, and if you could do nothing with one young woman anxious te please you, what do you expect me to do with two old maids as set in their ways as the Palisades. It's all dumb nonsense, anyhow.” Druce remained silent. After an irkseme pause the hapless General floundered on: ° “As I said at first, women have their world, amd we have ours. No’, Druce, you're a man of solid common sense. t would you think if Mrs. Ed were to come here and insist on your buying Wabash stock when you wanted to load up with Lake Shore? Look how absurd move, the captain sent down and asked Mr. Druce if he would come on deck for a moment. The captain was a shrewd man, and understood his employer. : “Theres a tug making for us, sir, signaling us to stop. Shall we stop?” Old Druce rubbed his chin thoughtfully, and looked over the stern of the yacht. He saw a tug, with a ban- ner of black smoke, tearing after them, heaping up a ridge of white foam ahead of her. Some flags fluttered from the single mast in front, and she shattered the ai: with short, hoarse shrieks of the whistle. “Can she overtake us?” The captain smiled. “Nothing in the harbor can over- take us, sir.” “Very well. Full steam ahead. Don’t answer the sig- nals. You did not happen to see them, you *now!” “Quite so, sir,” replied the captain, going forward. Although the motion of the Seahound's engines could hardly be felt, the tug, in spite of all her efforts, did not seem to be gaining. When the yacht put on her that would be. Very well, then; we have mo more right to interfere with the wor.’ n than they have to interfere -with us.” f “If my little girl wanted the whole Wabash system, I’é buy it for her tomorrow,” said Druee, with rising anger. “Lord! what a slump that would make in the market!” erled the General, his feel- ing of discomfort being mo- mentarily overcome by the magnificence of Drucé’s sug- gestion. “However, all this doesn’t need to make any difference in our friendship. If I can be of any assistance financially I shall only be too” —— | “Oh, I need your financial aSsistance!” sneered Druce. He took his defeat badly. However, in a minute or two, he pulled himself to- gether and seemed to shake off his trouble. ) - ‘What nonsense I am talk- ing,” he said when he had obtained control of himself. “We all need assistance now and then, and none of us know when we may need it badly. -In fact, there is a little deal I intended to speak to you about today, but this confounded busi- ness drove it out of my mind. How much Gilt Edged security have you in your safe?” “Abouwsk three millions’ worth,” replied the General, brightening up, now that they were off the thin ice. “That will be enough for me if we can make a dicker. Suppose we adjourn to your office. This is too publica place for a talk.” They went out together. “So there is no ill feel- ing?’ said the General, as Druce arose to go with the securities in his handbag. “No. But we'll = stick strictly to business after this, and leave social ques- tions alone. By the way, to show that there is no ill feeling, will you come with ———a got at the bonds, I think | could have stopped the run.

Did vou eash it?” cried the voung man. “And if you did, where is the money?” . 3 “Druce asked me as a favor not to present the check until tomorrow.” The young man made a gesture of despair. “The Trust National Bank went to smash today at 2. We are paupers, father; we haven't a cent ‘eft out of the wreck. That check busipess is so evidently a fraud that—but what's the use of talking.

We'l see how much the law | 5 SQ | r would do for him then.” : Gen. Sneed despondently shook his head. “It's no use, John,” he said. “We're in the same business ourselves, only this time we got the hot eng of the poker. But he played it low down on me. pretending’ to be friendly and ali that.” The two men @id@ not speak again until the carriage drew up at the brown stone man- sion, which earlier in the day Sneed would have called his own. Sixteen reporters were waiting for them, but the old man suc- ceeded in escaping to his room, leaving John to bat- thle with the newspaper men. Next morning the papers were full of the news of the panic. They sald that old Druece had gone in his yacht for a trip up the New England coast. They deduced from this fact that, after all, Druce might ,not have had a hand in the disaster; everything was always blamed on Druce. Stil) it was admitted that, who- ever suffered, the Druce stocks were all right. They were quite unanimousiyv frank in saying that the Sneeds were wiped out, whatever that might mean. The General had refused himself to all the report- ers, while young Sneed seemed.to be able to de nothing but swear. Shortly before noon Gen. Sneed, who had not left the house, received a let- ter brought by a messen- ger. He feverishly tore it open, for he recognized on the envelope the well- known scrawl of the great speculator: Dear Sneed, it ran, you will see by the papers that T am off on a crutse, but they are as wrong as they usually are when they speak of me. [| learn there was a bit of a flutter in the market while we me for a blow on the sea? Suppose we say Friday. | have just telegraphed for my yacht, and she will leave Newport tonight. I'll have some good champagne on board.” “! thought sailors imagined Friday was. an unlucky day!” “My sailors don't. Will 8 o'clock be you? Twenty-third street wharf.” . The General hesitated. Druce was wonderfully friend- ly all of a sudden, and he knew enough of him to be just a trifle suspicious. But when he recollected that Druce himself was going, he said, ‘Where could a tele- gram reach us, if it were necessary to telegraph? The market is a trifle shaky, and I don’t like being out of town all day.” “The fact that we are both on the yacht will steady the market. But we can drop in at Long Branch and receive dispatches if you think it necessary.” “All right,” said the General, much relieved. too early for “T'll meet you at Twenty-third street at 8 o'clock Friday morning, then.” . Druce’s yacht, the Seahound, was a magnificent steam- er. almost as large as an Atlantic liner. It was current- ly believed in New York that Druce kept her for the scle purpose of being able to escape in her, should an exas- nerated country ever rise in its might and demand his blood. It was rumored that the Seahound was ballasted with bars of solid gold and provisioned for a two years’ cruise. Mr. Buller, however, claimed that the tendency of nature was to revert to original conditions, and that some fine morning Druce would hoist the black flag, sail away and become a real pirate. ; The great speculator, in a very nautical suit, was wait- ine for the General when he drove up, and, the moment he came aboard, lines were cast off and the Seahound steamed slowly down the bay. The morning was rather thick. so they were obliged to move cautiously, and be fore they reached the bar the fog came down so densely that they had to stop, while bell rang and whistle blew. They were held there until it was nearly 11 o'clock, but time passed quickly, for there were all the morning pa- pers to read, neither of the men having had an oppor- tunity to look at them before leaving the city. As the fog cleared away and the engines began to SUNDAY MAG FR ACOA ONE OA ORS AONE RA AIRE R EN “*What has happened?” speed the little steamer gradually fell farther and farther behind, and at last gave up the hopeless chase. When well out at sea something went wrong with the engines, and there was a second delay of some hours. A stop at Long Branch was therefore out of the question. “I told you Friday was an unlucky day,” said the Gen- eral. It was 8 o'clock that evening before the Seahound stood off from the Twenty-third street wharf. “I'll have to put you ashore in a smal! boat,” said Druce; “you won't mind that, I hope. The captain te so uncertain about the engines that he doesn’t want to go nearer land.” “Oh, I don’t mind in the least. a lovely day.” “I'm glad you enjoyed it. We will take another trig together some time, when I hope so many things won't happen as happened today.” The General saw that his carriage was waiting for him, but the waning light did not permit him to recog- nize his son until he was up on dry land once more. The look on his son's face appalled the old man. “My God! John, what has happened?’ “Everything's happened. Where are the securities that were in the safe?’ nae “Oh, they’re all right,” said his father, a feeling of relief coming over him. Then the .thought flashed through his mind: How did John know they were not in the safe? Sneed kept a tight rein on bis affairs, and no one but himself knew the combination that wou!d open the safe. “How did you know that the there?” “Recanse I had the safe blown open at 1 o'clock to- day.” “Blown open! For heaven's sake, why?" “Step into the carriage and Fl) tell you om the way home. The bottom dropped out of everything. All the Sneed stocks went down with arun.

N 1909, the year when reliable statistics were last reported, the soap factories of the United States turned out a product valued at $111,000,000 That was twice the amount produced by Great Britain, our nearest competitor. Under present conditions, this is the only soap producing country whose output i not in the least interfered with. Great Britain's industry its the least obstructed of any of the soap-making coun- tries, but that is diminished. Still more is the industry curtailed in France, which came next, while Germany, the {purth om the list, can make soap only home consumption. | The point te that In this inadequately noticed tin- dustry, where we led our nearest competitor two to one before the war, we now can send ont, if we can produce ft, more soap than all the rest of the world put together. ior Vad V_ + * set oes ate sia Als tisha hae IO te ea ah it at «TO eas ink abil carten tS. weep ite ben Sid

A mysterious person, acting under orders from the Wilhelmstrasse and known simply as No. 1982, has stolen the clothing and passports of Capt. Woodhouse of the British African army and, aided by a strong resembiance to Woodhouse, is at Gibraltar to be- tome signal officer, which will give him access to the mechaniem to fire all the mines in the harbor. Other Withelmstrasse epies are Almer, proprietor of the Hotel Rplendide; Josepha, the cigar girl. also known as Louisa, and @ person within the household of Governor-General ment store whom the false Woodhouse had befriended, is alse stranded, with other Americans, at Gibraltar. Cap- per. @ discredited spy. is there also. bent on erposing “Weodhouse.” Jane Gerson has lost her passports and is trying to get Crandall to permit her te depart on an America-bound steamer. CHAPTER XI—Continued. EN. CRANDALL was visibly perplexed. The American Consul, Lady Crandall and the eager girl herself were anxiously awaiting his answer. To the Consul it meant a vexing problem solved. Jane thought of her triumph if she succeeded _ {nm getting te New York with her exciw sive Paris gowns.

There are representative caricatures from Germany and England, from far-away Hirth Japan, from France, from Italy, from UAE Spain and from the Argentine Repub- lic, They show that the war, which has supplied abundant material for American cartoonists, is the chief topic of thought*all over the world. The pictures are interesting for their own yalue as drawings, and also as reflecting with the vividness of pencil and crayon the ideas which the war- ring nations have about each other. and what the spectator countries think about, those in the thick of the conflict.
