L, Feb. 1.—With the completion today of testimony for the defense, so far as it relates to Mrs. Elizabeth Mohr, on trial for instigating the murder of her husband, Dr. C. Franklin Mohr, evidence was presented in behalf of two negroes, Cecil Brown and Henry Spellman, who, according to the State’s contention, were hired to commit the crime. Much of this evi- dence was contradictory of thi: given the prececution. The Rev. William McNamara, the last witness for Mrs. .iohr, declared that George W. Healis, Dr. Mohr’'s ne- gro chauffeur, who turned State’s evi- aence, told him he had never discussed a murder plot with the woman. The minister said he asked Htealis if Virs. Mohr had anything to do with tne murder and that WHealis replied. ‘I don’t know: she never said anytning to me about it.” ; Mrs. Mohr Says Cried. Miss Amy Nichols, who lives in Mrs, 3 =.

The search for Mrs.’ Jesse Forrester | Fomiette, who disappeared from’ the t iaetennd Sanitarium at Gleridale, St. Louis County, a week ago Sunday, is being céntinued today. Yesterday her brother, Arthur D. Forrester, offered a reward of $1000 for information concern- ing her whereabouts. The publication in véatérdané Post- Dispatch of a picturé of Mrs. Follette has caused several persons to recall seeing in St. Louis last week a strange woman who resembled the picture. C. P. Johnson of 1643 Ohio avenue, said today he saw a woman enter the Mc- Kinley station at Twelfth stréet and Lucas avenue about noon last Thurs- aay whose features resembled those - of. the missing woman. His attention was attracted to the woman because she was talking to herself and emphasizing her words with quick movements of her hands. Mrs. Mont Robertson of 1536 Steniastn- pi. avenue told the Post-Dispatch a woman came to her home last Wednes- day morning and asked for breakfast, faving she had walked all the way from. Webster Groves in the rain. Mrs. Rob- ertson fed her and observed that her table manners were refined although she laughed in a boisterous way as if mentally unbalanced. The picture in yesterday's paper reminded Mrs. Rob- ertson of this woman, she said. Walter L. Folleite, the woman's hus- band, said yesterday he had received an anonymous telephone message say- ing his wife was in St. Louis tn the hands of friends. He said he knew no reason why any of her friends should try to conceal ner.

He might not have been traced ther but for the packages sent to the Trenton address before and after Mrs. Redfield’s death. Few of the pres- ent neighbors know much about the son in New York, but in Southard street, a community of working people, where the family lived at No. 42 until 1907 or 1908, eld residents knew all about ‘‘Rob” and were quite willing to tell of “the career” this young man has had. These neighbors recall that Swem was a member of the Trinity Episcopal Church choir, and that he was very friendly with Alfred Moore Livingston, a rich old bachelor member of the con- gregation, who later killed himself There was aueh sgnssip,, but nething definitely known about Livingston's friendship for boys. The neighbors recall that Livingston displayed a great fondness for Rob Swem and took him as companion in the summer of 1901, starting for the Buffalo Exposition. The boy was then abont 15. On the way they stopped at the Thou- sand Islands to visit Livingston's friends, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Alexander Redfield of Hartford. Mrs. Redfield took a great liking to Rob. He was invited to Hartford for the holidays, and soor was spending practically his entire time with the Redfielas. Swem Formerly a Stenograjher. In the Trenton city directory Robert B. Swem first appeared in 1993 as a stu- dent, residing at 42 Southard street; in 1806 at. stenographer;- in 196 and 1907 without occupation given, and after that he disappeared from the ist of Trentonians. He was remembered as having worked for a short time as stenographer in a trust company. *““Rob’s”" younger brother, Roy, is re- called relating, wide-eyed, to the neigh- bors’ children that “Rob was living in home, 232 Main street, Hartford. He continued up to the time of Mrs. Red- field’s death to act as secretary and accountant, and he is still Saint Cyr’s almost inseparable companion. Livea Mostly With the Saint Cyrs. Part of the tirhe, while Saint Cyr and Mrs. Redfield lived in Yonkers’ Swem -had .a room at 210 Riverside drive, with friends of Mrs. Redfield, but much of the time he made his home with the Saint Cyrs. When and where Swem met Saint Cyr none of the friends of the Redfields or the Swems seem to know. Some of the more intimate neighbors in ‘renton had heard of the man who had married the»rich old lady from whom Swem was to inherit the million, and that he had, come originally. from New Orleans or somewhere in the South. They also had heard Thompson’s name, but did not associate it with Saint Cyr. Until Saint Cyr had come into Swem’s life the young man used to make fre- quent visits to his Trenton home, even during the year of 1907, following Mr. Redfiel#s death. Swem’s importance in t:.~ Redfield household did not become apparent to the neighbors until Mr. Redfield’s death, Feb. 11, 1907. After that the widow matle “Mr. Rob’’ a constant companion. She was a sprightly little old lady, with trim, girlish figure, and masses of chest- nut hair that beliedd the wrinkles in her face. She was fond of th theater, dzncing and driving, and gathered about her youthful companions, both men and women. Her preference fcr white, girl- ish costumes made her wardrobe rival that of her youngest guests. Still, she had been married to Henry Alexander Redfield since May 3, 1862. The first summer of Mrs. Redfield’s v7idowhood—1907—was spent, as had been the family’s custom, at Alexandria Bay, where the Redflelds sometimes lived in the Crosmon House, sometimes in a the home of an old lady who was going ! ented cottage. There is one unverified to leave him a million when she died. Tiob was quite the-hero of the neighbor- hood. When he returned at infrequent intervals, taking a cab from the sta- tion to the modest little home, neigh- with ruby or emerald cuff-links and scarf pins to match, and that his clothes were those of a rich man. One time a Tren- ton neighbor encountered young Swem in the leading jewelry store in Hart- ford and greeted him. Swem came in Mrs. Redfiejd’s car to buy: some article. Tne jeweler was astonished to learn Swem’s history, as he said Hartford people gupposed he was some “great gun.” Friends heard that Rob was to be adopted by the Redfields; that the pa- pers were drawn before it was dis- covered that ‘he could not’. be. legally adopted on account of being over eigh- teen. But young Swem’s future seemed assured anyway, for.on or about the time of Mr. Redfield’s death, Feb. 11, 1907, he went. to live in the Redfield report that during this summer Mrs. Redfield and Swem first met Saint Cyr as a hotel clerk at Alexandria Bay, and that the acquaintance was later re- newed in New York. They Meet “a, Charming Man.” Other acquaintances vouch for the statement that the first that was heard ‘of Saint Cyr at Hartford was late in 1907, wheh Mrs. Redfield returned from one of her periodical visits for shopping and pleasure in New York. On these trips she stopped at the Waldorf-Astoria. On this occasion Mrs: Redfield and Swem were heard to speak enthusi- astically of the charming young man whom they had spent some time with in New York, and on’ New Year’s day, 1908, Saint Cyr made his first appearance at the Redfield residence as a holiday guest. The household gossip at this time in- cludd comment upon Saint Cyr’s evi- dently straightened circumstances, man- ifested in clothing that was approach- ing shabbiness. But: he was deferential and charming, and the household took a great liking to him. ter, however, as his position became assured, after he had returned as a permanent guest, this manner was supplanted by one ap- proaching the domineering, and he grat- | ed upon the servants, some of whom left because they would not tolerate ‘“‘Mr Jack’s’’ interference in their duties. This brief visit for New Year's din- ner furnishes the first link in the chain of coincidences connecting Jack Saint Cyr and Jack Thompson, for at this time it was learned in the household that Saint Cyr was advance agent of a the- atrical. company and that he was re- turning to New York on business. Saint Cyr His “Professional Name.” In about a month Saint Cyr returned, end it was understood that he was to ‘live in the household at ‘Mr. Rob's” companion.- It, became known that Saint Cyr: was the stranger’s professional name, but. who he really was or where he came from remained unknown both te the oo pore and to the had rather pleased the neighbors and friends, who saw in it a demonstration of her motherly instinct. , They noticed her driving with the boy in the old fam- ily carriage, stopping togethe? to buy ice cream sodas and going about as mother and son. It did not strike them as evidence of eccentricity until the sec- ond youth appeared uvyon the. scene. Saint Cyr spent that summer with Mrs. Redfield and Swem and returned to Hartford in the autumn of 1908. It was noticed that he, too, was decked out in costly clothing, and that apparently he had in part or largely displaced Swem in the lavishness of his attentions upon the old lady. ’ The extravagant tastes of the two young ‘mMén became a matter of common gossip iri the’ neighborhood of the Red- field home. They were overheard talk- ing of the prices they paid for their un- usual clothing—$2 for shirts, etc.—until the neighbors of Mrs. Redfield became quite aroused over the obvious dissipa- tion of the Redfield estate’s income. The situation became so uncomfortable that on March 31, 1909, Mrs. Redfield sold the family home, 232 Main street, Hartford, to Allan McIsaac and about a month later removed to 93 Hudson terrace, Yonkers. This new home was a white, three-story frame dwelling with green trimmings, with a conservatory and a garage. It was on a small plot over- looking the Hudson River and the Pal- isades. After Mrs. Redfield- Saint Cyr’s death this property was appraised at $28,000 and bid in by Saint Cyr when of- fered by the executors at public auction. Valet Hired for Him Now, After the removal. to Yonkers the scale of living in the Redfield household soared higher and higher. Michael H. Kelly, who had been coach- man for years at Hartford, was made a pensioner *o care for the garden and furnace. A high-powered automobile was pur- chased, a French chauffeur employed, a Japanese valet was secured for Saint Cyr, and many other domestic changes took place. Saint Cyr’s social status and his ie tion in the family “seemed, however, to be rather incongruous. For a while he was ostensibly the friend and companion of “Mr. Rob.”” Spending money upon his own person with utmost lavishness, his interest in domestic economy ran to the other extremes and was inexplicable to the servants. They noticed with rising perplexity and indignation that he checked the laundry accounts and made unexpected visits to'the larder to check over the groceries to see that there were no leaks. aS QUICKLY STOPS HEAD COLDS AND -SNUFFLES Catarrhal Germs Cause of Most Colds.

Resided at 42d Street and aaah lnyy the Bureau of Vital Statistics, in Trenton, is the original record of the marriage of Saint Cyr and Mrs. Red- field. It shows that their marriage took place June 9, 1909, and that Saint Cyr gave his residence as Forty-second street and Broadway, New York. This address may have come to Saint Cyr’s mind through his famillarity with that neigh- borhood, since two years before, when he was employed as a hat salesman by Saks & Co.—March 18 to Oct. 5, 1907—he lived in a theatrical boarding house at 221 West Forty-third street, the present site of the publishing house of the New York Times. The official record givés as anced to the marriage ceremony Robert B. Swem and Thomasetta Bennett, wife of the late Rev. George S. Bennett of Grace Protestant Episcopal Church, Jer- sey City, who performed the ceremony in the rectory. Saint Cyr, according to the certifica- tion of the New Jersey authorities, spelied his name then Jean Harold (now it is Harald) Edward Saint Cyr; age 38, his occupation, retired, and his birthplace Buffalo, N. Y. Buffalo may have occurred to him through his hav- ing at one time lived there, according to rumor. His father’s name appears in the mar- riage license record as Hugo M.—Hugo being French for the Hugh of Capt. Hugh M. Thompson, now a real estate and insurance agent of Itasca, Tex., father of the missing John ee Ed- ward Thompson. The maiden name of Saint Cyr’s moth- er appears on the official record as An- nette Qudckenbos—Anna Quackenbos was the mother of the missing John Henry Edward Thompson of Waco. He Discloses Their Secret, The secret of the marriage was not kept sq well as the principals imag- ined it/ would be, for “Mr. Rob” gos- siped~to a woman companion of Mrs. Redfield, a distant relative, who whis- pered to one of the servants, who told the others. However, the change in Saint Cyr’s ‘manner, his familiar atti- tude toward Mrs. Redfield, the num- ber of liberties he assumed, such as entering Mrs. Redfield’s private rooms at-will and, finally, his request that the servants no longer address him as “Mr. Jack,” but call him “Mr. Saint Cyr,” would have aroused suspicion as to his true status, even if ‘Mr. Rob” had not already gossiped about it. No announcement was made in ihe househ@d, however, for several years and. many of Mrs. Redfield’s friends did not know that she and Saint Cyr were married. Three years after the wedding—on June 18, 1912~-Mrs. Redfield made the will which has been admitted to pro- bate at White Plains. She bequeathed to her son, Henry Sherman Redfield, now an investment broker of Hart- ford, $15,000; to her grandson, Henry Alexander Redfield, son of Henry Sherman Redfield, $6000: to various friends and distant relatives her jew- elry, and to servants $200.each. Swem Not Named in the Will. To her husband, Saint Cyr, she left $100,000, the residence at Yonkers and the residue of the estate, which was to be administered by Saint Cyr and by Henry Sherman Redfield as executors, without bond, Witnesses to the will were Robert B.

Ingalls Jr., 27 Cedar street, New York, who was Mrs. Redfield’s attorney and now acts for Saint Cyr, and Mrs. Alice L. Bab- cock of Middle Haddam, Conn., who says she is a friend of Saint Cyr. It would be immediately noticed by any one famillar with the facts that the will did not ever mention Swem, the youth whom Mrs. Redfield ar- ranged to adopt and upon whom she had lavished affection. It might ‘be cause for comment also, lacking any ¢x- planation, that Swem’'s scale uf living did not decrease on account of his not receiving the million that he had ex- pected i his youth, and that he con- tinues to live in luxury and receives his mail at the New York Athietic Club, of which Saint Cyr is a member. Swem's devotion to Mrs. Redfield seemed, up to the time of her death, to be no less than that of her husband, and one friend who knew the old lady quite intimately declares that the young men together entirely occupied her lite. After her death Swem, upon going to Palm Beach, wore a broad band of mourning on his tropical clothing. -—tis devotion seems to have been purely that of a son, for one of his acquaintances, Ws.0 was in the secret of the marriage, recalls having twitted him or hig hav- ing introduced Saint Cyr only to have the interloper capture the prize, and Swem remarked that he was.quite con- tent, as he “had the better of the bar- cain. * The codic!] executed Jct. 2, 1915, re- voked the $100,000 bequest to Saint Cyr. This was witnessed by Swem, who then gave his address as 210 HRiverside drive, New York; Attorney Inazalls and Mary McAlister, a nurse, of Fergus, Ont Grandson’s Inheritance Reduced. A second codicil, thé one which may be attacked by reopening the probate at White Plains, was executed May 13, wid, and witnessed by Swem, giving his address at the Saint cyr residence in Yonkers, by Attorney Ingalls and Miss McAlister. This codicil reduced the standson’s inheritance of $100,000 to $50,- 000. The summer of 1913 was spent by the Saint Cyrs on. a houseboat chartered from George C. Boldt of the Waldorf- Astoria,. whose Thousand Island estate is not far from Alexandria Bay, where the Réedfields had spent many summers. Mrs. Redfield’s health at that time was no. good and St. Cyr explained, in char- tering the boat, that it was hoped that life on the wat%r, with his wife’s foni- ness for fishing, would restore her com- pletely. It then became necessary to announce the mafriase. What happened to cause Mrs. Red- field on her return from this summer's houseboating to execute the codicil re- voking the $100,000 bequest to the youthful husband does not appear. It is known that she had at various times complained of the falling off of her in- come, due to depreciation of New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad stock, but at her death none of this secur- ity appeared in the inventory of the estate. The servants remarked, how- ever, at the close of the year 1913, upon Saint Cyr’s generosity in giving to each of them $23 in gold as a Christmas present, with the explanation that he had enjoyed an unusually prosperous year. Her Stocks $236,660, Mrs. Redfield Seine yee estate al the time of her death consisted mainiy of stocks at the appraised value of $236,660.68, a diversified list very well se- lected, including: 131 shares Adams :x- press, 54 Aetna Ingurance, 141 Atiantic Dock, 108 C. & N, W., 7% C., M.' & Bb.

Late in the evening he appeared in the corridor of the Breakers and made inquiries about French Lick Springs. ‘Told that this was not the season there, he’ sald he and his wife would go.there anyway, as she wished to reduce her weight. Maj. Pendleton explained how he came to introduce Saint Cyr to Mrs. “Silent’’ Smith. He said he was forced to do so.

Organization Needed. es “They would have to be found. They tier have to be induced to enlist; they would have to be organized. Their num- bers are indefinite and they would have toa be equipped. Such are not the mate- rial we need. We want to know who the men are and where they are and have everything ready for them, if they should come to our assistance; for we have now got down, not to the senti- ‘ment of national defense, but to the business of national defense. It is a business proposition, and it must be treated as such. : “There are abundant precedents for the proposals which have been made to Cengress. Even that arch-Democrat, Thomas Jefferson, believed that there ought.to be compulsory military train- ing for the adult men of the nation, be- cause he believed, as every true believ- er in democracy believes, that it is wpon the voluntary on of the men of a great nation like this that it must de- pend for its military force. ‘There is another misapprehension tnat I want to remove from your minds.

And I believe that I can say for my col- leagues in Washington that they are If} Jus} as watchful in such matters as you would desire them to be. / “Now there is another misapprehen- sion, that I do not wish you to enter- tain. Don’ t suppose that there is any new or sudden or recent inadequacy on the part of this:\Government with respect to preparation for national defense. “I have heard some gentlemen say that we have no coast defenses worth ‘talking about, because defenses are not nowadays advertised, you. understand, and they are. not visible to the naked eye. So that if you passed them and nothing exploded you would not know that they are there. And the coast de. fenszes of the United States, while not numerous enough, are equipped in the most modern and efficient fashion. You are told that there has been some sort of neglect about the navy. va No Neglect About Navy. “There has not been any sort of neg- lect about the navy. We have been slowly building up a navy which in quality is second to no navy in the world. The only thing it lacks. is quan- tity. In size it. is the fourth navy in the world, though I have heard it satd by some gentlemen in this very region that’ it ‘was the second.» In fighting force, though not in quantity it is reckoned by experts to be the fourth in the rank in the world; and yet when I g0 on board those ships and see the equipment and talk with their officers I suspect that they could give an accotint of them- Selves which would raise them above the fourth classe.. It reminds me of that very quaint saying of the old darky preacher, ‘The Lord says unto Moses, come FOURTH; and he came FIFTH and lost the race.’ “But [ think. this navy would not come fourth in the race. “What we are proposing now is not @ sudden creation of a navy, for we haye a splendid navy, but the definite working.out of a program by which with- in five years we will Bins the navy to a fighting strength hich otherwise might have taken Ate or 10 years; along exactly the same lines of develop- ment that e been followed and fol- lowed diligeritly and intelligently for at least a decade past. Ne Sudden Panic. ““There is no sudden panic; there is no sudden change of plan. All that has happened is that we now see that we cught more rapidly and more thorough- ly than ever before to do the things which have always been characteristic of America. For she has always been proud of her navy and has been adé« dicted to the principle that her citizen- ship- must do the fighting on land. “We are working out Amerigan prin- ciples a little faster, because American | nit iii | i HTH WH Hh Ui Hit Hi} ‘¢ ' Hi Hitt aH WAH i ce a a i Hii ae | | this country are entitled to know just what is being done. As a friend of mine ‘paid, ‘I not arguing with you, I am telling you" I am not trying to con- vert you to anythirg, because I know in your hearts you are converted al- ready.

The opinion was written by Assistant Attorney-General W. T. Rutherford at the request cf Prosecuting Attofney Ralph of St. Louls County. M. G. Fink, Mayor of Maplewood, said he believed that town would approve the bond issue. J. B. Ackfeld, Mayor of Shrewsbury Park, and H. T. Schafer, | Mayor of Glendale, said the ruling would help the bond issue with the vot- ers of those communities. R. M. B. Tidd, Mayor of Webster Groves, an act- ive supporter of the bond issue, said that the improvement of the roads pass- ing through the town would make many votes in favor of the proposal). James M. Jensen, Mayor of Richmond Heights, also expressed himself in fa- vor of the proposal. 4. R. Matthews, | Mayor of Kirkwood, predicted a two- thirds majority for the bonds there, Ralph was asked by the County Court, and also by the Permanent Roads and not be possible to use money from the bond is for extending the county roads enous the incorporated towns. He gave'tan oral opinion that it could be done, but said that he preferred to have an opinion by the ‘Attorney-Gen- eral’s office on the subject. Leading Roads Threugh Towns.

The Manchester road runs through the cen- ter of Maplew the Denny road through Kirkwood, and the Big Bend and other roads through Webster Groves. Several county roads, including | 4 the North and South road, run through Clayton. Under the opinion of the At- torney-General, all of these roads, and similar roads passing through incorpo- rated territory, may be improved out of ~~. the proceeds of the bond issue. ..The incorporated towns and villages “of the county have a voting population of 4871 out of a total voting population of 16,189. The principal objections to the bond issue came from the incorpo- rated towns; and theré was danger, | with a heavy vote against the bond is- sue in the towns an@ villages; that the bond issue would be defeated. ‘Officials of the Permanent Roads and Bridges Association said that the opin- ion makes it certain that the bond isssue ‘will be adopted by a substantial ma- jority over the necessary two-thirds of the votes cast at the special election. Arrangements are being made by. the aesociation to get all the supporters of the bond issue to the polls election day. “It’s not toe late.

KINSEY NON - COMMITTAL He Expects to Make Recom- mendation to Aldermen and Citizens at Hearing. Park Commissioner Cunliff today: told a Post-Dispatch reporter that he was unalterably opposed to the construction of any street car line in Forest Park, as any other points of interest. Instead he will urge the abandonment of street car plans, and the installation of motor busses for transportation. Commissioner Cunliff made his an- nouncement after it was learned that three plans for a street car line in Forest Park had been drawn.by Presi- dent Kinsey of the Board of Public ce, in response to a resolution of formation as to the feasibility and prob- able cost of constructing a car line into the park that would carry persons to the Art Museum. Kinsey Position. President y refused to state whether he would favor the construc- tion of a car line in the park. He said that he expected to make some recom- mendations at a meeting of the Alder- manic and Citizens’ Joint Committee about two weeks hence, when, the plans will be considered. He pointed out that in preparing the plans he merely was following directions given to him by the Aldermanic Committee. Kinsey’s. three plans have been sub- mitted to Commissioner Cunliff, so he can estimate the probable cost of the recessary decorative treatment of each plan. Pian No. 1 is for a car line extension, starting at Skinker road, about 300 yards north of the southern bour.dary of the park. This line would enter the park through a natural defile, running to a roint about 660 feet south of the Art Museum and continuing southeast to Tamm avenue and the market Street tracks, Such a line would enable Skinker road and Market street passengers to trans- fer at two points, and would serve only those persons bound for the Art Museum or Zoo. The estimated construction cost of such a line is $113,000, of which $20,000 would be for decorative purposes. The Secong Plan. Pian No. 2 is for a car line, starting on Skinker road at the same point as in Plan No. 1, but instead of running south to Tamm avenue, this line would run back of the Art Museum and east to a point near the bird cage, where it would make a loop. The estimated cost of such line is $70,000, of which $15,000 wouid be for decorative work. Plan No. 3, the most pretentious of all and one that would entail considerable cost for decorative purposes. as well as marring the natural beauty of the park, provides for an extension of the Laclede line, starting at King's highway and West Pine boulevard. From this ecast- ern terminus in the park the line would run under the Wabash tracks, through a newly formed tunnel east of the pres- ent Grand Drive depression under the Wabash tracks. 7 It then would run southwest, through the center of the park, to the Art Mu- seum, where a loop would be construct- ed. : | Prevides for _Viaducts. : This plan provides for the construc- tion of seven decorative viaducts, on which the car line would pags over ve- hicle roads, and would make it neces- sary to cut a seven-foot depression through the hill on which the abandoned police station stands just north of the main drive through the small. The es- timated cost of this plan is $229,000, of which $35,000 would be for decorative purposes. All three schemes are for single track, which would limit the number of cars iu operation. It was explained that plan No. 3 wrisiale provide transportation for passengérs through the center of the park, enabling them jo reach points of interest by walks varying from 650 feet- upward. None of these plans bring the proposed car lines within a city block of the Art Museum. Commissioner Cunliff, after inspecting these plang, declared he was convinced that it would be impractical, even if possible, ito construct the car lines. in the park, - “The impossibility,” he said,. “grows out of the extreme cost. On the other hand the city could operate motor bus lines at much smaller investment | and with much. better results. “First, they could reach all points of interést in the park, without long walks necessitated by street car lines. “Second, the: busses could carry ‘more persons” at less. cost. “Third, - the natural beauty. of. the park would. not, be marred with car tracks and trolley poles.” . Commissioner Cunliff said he hoped to convince the proper authorities that it would be advisable to abandon street fear plans and. buy two motor busses, a ar eb toga dige in. the | bark “J By, »» cn om (i220 So aay ee Ua Ae It Was Truly a Great Moving Picture That Its “First Run” This Mor US. campaign to begin; the most unique and the most vane we npr ever lauthohied in st.

A year ago it did seem as if America might rest secure, without any great anxiety and take it for granted that she would not be drawn into this maelstrom. But six months ago it was merely the beginning of the strug- gle. Another year has been added and now’ no man can competently say whether the United States ‘will be drawn into the struggle or not. There- fore, it is absolutely nedessary that we should take counsel together as to what it is necessary that we should do. “The circumstances of the day are s0 fextraordinary that perhaps it is not prudent.for 2a man upon whom the re- sponsibilities of affairs are laid to know too particularly the details of what are happening. The trouble with a great many of our fellow citizens is that they let their imaginations become so en- gaged in this terrible affair that they cannot look upon it as those should who wish to keep a cool head and detachea judgment. So many men on this side of the water are seing red that you seem to see in their thoughts the reflec- tion of the blood that is being spent 30 copiously on the other side of the sea. “It' is not. wise for us to let our thoughts become so -deeply involved that we cannot think separately, I must admit to'you very frankly that I have been careful to refrain frém reading the detaiis in the newspaper reports. I have wished to see the thing and realize it only in its large aspects and to keep my thoughts concentrated upon Amer- ica, her duty and her tasks, and her tasks have been very difficult. They ‘have not been merely negative.

Those who took at us at a dis- tance, my fellow citizens, do not feel tho strong pulses of ideal principle that aré in-us. They do not feel the coavic- tion of America that her mission is a mission of peace and that righteousness cannot be maintained as a standard in the midst of arms. They do not realize that back’ of all energy. by which we have built up great material wealth and created great material power, We ure a body of idealists, much. more ready +o lay down our'‘lives for a: thought than for a dollar. “TI suppose some of them think that we are holding off because we can make money while others are dying; the most cruel misunderstanding that any nation bas ever had to face, so wrong that it seems almost useless to try to correct it, because it shows that the very funda- mentals of our life are not comprehend- ed and understood. “I need not tell my fellow citizens that we have not held off from thig etruggl-¢ from motives of self-inter+st, unless it be considered self-interest to maintain our position as the trustees of the mor- al judgments of the world. We have believed, and I believe that we can serve the nations at war better py remaining at peace and holding off from this con- test than we could possibly serve them in any other way. “Your interests, your sympathies, your affections, may be engaged on one side or the other, but no matter Which sidc affections in the matter is to stand off and not let this nation be drawn into the w ~ So ¥ Must Keep Alevof. “Somebody must keep the great staple foundations of the lI'fe of nations un- tcuched and undisturbed; somebody must keep the great ecdnomic processes of the world of business alive; somebody must see to it that we stand ready to repair the enormous damages and the incalculable losses which will ensue from this war, and which it is hardly cred-; ible could be repair if every great na- tion in the world were drawn into the contest. “And do you realize how nearly it has come about that nearly ever great na- tion in the world has been drawn in?

It is a great honor, that honor of the United States.

We observe the technical limits: we assert these rights only when our own circumstances are directly affected, but you know that our feeling is just the same, wheth- er the rights of those individual circum- stances are affected or not, and that we feel, all the concern of those who have built up things so great that they dare not let them be torn down or touched with profane hands. “Look at the part that is assigned to the United States, to assert the princi- ples of law in a world in. which the principles of law have broken. down, not the technical principles of law, but the essential principles of right deal- ing and humanity as between nation ér-i nation. “Law is a very complicated term. It includes a great many things that do not engage our affections, but at the basis of the things we are now dealing with [fle the deepest affections of the human heart: the love of life, the love of righteousness, the love of fair deal- ing, the love of those things which are just and of good report; the things that are rooted in our very spirit are the stuff of the law that I am talking about now. Opinion Can’t Stop the War. “It mayy have to assert these rrinci- ples of right and of humanity at any time. What means. are available? What force is at the disposal of the Unitedj States to assert these things? The force of opinion? Opinion, I am sorry to say, my fellow citizens, did not bring this war on, and I am afraid that opinion cannot stay its progress. This war was trought on by rulers, not by peoples, and I thank God there is no man in America who has the authority to bring War on without the consent of the people. “No man for many a year can yet trace.the real source of this war. E it this thing we know, that opinion did not bring it on, and that the force of opinion, at any raté the force of Am=:r- ican opinion, isnot going to stop it. 1 admire the hopeful confidence o. those of our fellow citizens who belleve that American opinion can stop it, but be- ing somewhat older than some of tuem, and having run through a rather w.de gamut of experience, I am preventeu from sharing their hopeful optimism. “I would not belittle the influences of opinion, least of all the influences of American opinion. It is very influen- tial, but it will not stop this overwhceim- ing flood. And if not the force of opin- ion, what force has America available to stop the flood from overflowing. our own fair area? We have one consider- able arm of force, a very considerable arm of force, namely the splendid ‘navy | of the United States. } ‘I am told by the experts, to whose judgment I must defer in these mat- ters, that the navy of the United States in respect of its enumerated force, ranks only fourth among the navies of the world. I entertain, and I indulge my- self with the opinion that in quality it ranks very much higher than fourth place. “—" Enumerates Navy’s Strength. “And the United States has never been negligent of its navy, despite what some gentlemen may say; least of all has it been negligent in recent years. Three years ago there were 182 vesseis in commission in that navy. There aie now 28 Three dreadnaughts and 16 subordinate craft will be added within a month or two. There have been adda ed 6000 capable sallors to the ranks of the enlisted men in that navy. ‘The Con- gress of the United States in the ‘asi three years has poured out moré muncy than was poured out on the average in any previous years of the history ot the United States for the maintenarce and upbuilding of the United Staies navy. It has spent $44,000,000 a year, as contrasted with a previous average of not more than $33,600,000. “All the subsidiary arms of:the serv- ice have been built up. ree years ago there were four officers ‘assigned to "laid not have @ single available—at any a rate ati usable—craft 7 at their service. Now} last Congress, was the first to make an} appropriation for aviation in connection with the navy. We have given to the present fleet of the United States an organization such as it never had be- fore, I am told by Admiral Fletcher, and we have made preparations for imme- diate war, so far as the navy is con- cerned. ° “The trouble is not with the quality of the’ organization of the existing navy: it is mérely that we have followed piece- this direction, now in that direction. : “Until nodw- we, have never set. our- selves a definite goal of equipment, and 'sét Our resolutions to attair that goal ‘within a reagonable length: of time, and the plans that are being proposed to the present Congress, and which the pres- ent Congress will adopt, are plans to remedy this plecemeal treatment of the navy end ) ring it to tts highest point of efficiency by studied plans, carried out frcm month to month and year to year, “It is going to cost a‘ scod deai of money, and I find that the difficulty with some members of Congress is not what ought to be done about the navy, but what they. are going to tax in order to get the money. Thinks People Will Pay Willingly. “I do not happen to be a member of Congress, but I would be willing to go before any constituency in the United States in the confidence that they were willing to pay for the defense @f the na- tion. We are neither poor nur niggardly. We know héw things cost and we intend to pay for them. And we #o not intend to pay’ for them more than they are worth. That is the matter which is. trou- bling a good many people. “I have proposed to the Congress that for one thing, we at once build our own armor plant; not for the purpose ef mak- ing all the armament our fhips need, unless it should become necessary, but for the purpose of keeping the price ywWithin sight;; I have propused to tha Congress also that we prepare to manu- facture also thé munitions which the Government may need for the same pur- pose, not to drive other people out of business, but merely to serve other peo- ple with notice, that if neceyvsary we will manufacture all the munitions we need, ““‘We have had some experience in this matter. The navy now makes a very }large proportion of its own powder. | Before it began it paid 53 cents a pound for it, and now it pays 36 cents, which shows the very interesting effect of Government competition upon the price. And 80 all along the line, we mean busi- ness and we are going to see that busi- ness characterizes the processes of na- tional events. We would not"be Amer- cans if we did not. Turns to Available Army. “But what army have we available? I can tell you, because it has been nec- essary for us to take care of the patrol- ling of the very long southern border between us and Mexico, that we have not men enough in the United States army for the routine work of. peace. And the increase in the regular army that is being proposed to the present Congress is intended only to bring the regular army up to an adequate peace establishment. I say that is all that is being proposed with regard to the regu- lar army. The United States has never my fellow citizens, depended upon the regular army to conduct its wars. It Lhas depended upon the volunteers of the United States..

But the spirit of every profession is different from the spirit uf the community. “I would not trust any.particular bus ness to any particular profession ex- clusively, if 4t\ were the public busi- ness, because every profession that ! know anything about has its special point of view, and when a man has to defend his country outside the circle of the things that he ordinarily does, he has, I believe, the spirit of his country in a degree that he would not have if he were merely sata an a profes- sional duty. “Have you looked at the most valued souvenirs of families In America?

But Polly was not thinkisig a bit ailesest these things. She was worrying about her party, for her tenth birthday would be tomorrow and there was not a sweet thing in the house. Polly’s father and brother were in the army, the farm was all.torn up, the fences burned to keep warm, most of the cattle used by the soldiers and things looked awfully blue | to this little Confederate girl in the midst of the desolation of war. Polly sat on the stump of an old treo and cried at the gloomy prospect. Then she caught sight of a horse coming down the road, its galloping feet beating a tattoo swiftly on the hard pike. The horse was spetked with foum and the soldier wore a blue uniform. ‘‘Goodness,”” exclaimed Pully, running up on the porch and hiding behind a big chair, “it is a Yankee!”’ When the rider got in front of the house he leaped from his horse, gave it a blow that sent it flying down th: road, then he ran up on the porch into the front door and burst into a smal! study, which had only one door. In a few minutes five men in gray came by the house and kept on ut a gallop, evi- dently thinking they were chasing the Union soldier, who -had fled @nd hidden in the house. Another minute and they age beyond the hilt. T was a bright lias day. The en aa OW, it happened that this after- N ‘noon Polly was the only soul on the farm. And here she was alone with that dreadful Yankee. Like a flash she ran into the hall and turned the key, which was on the out- side of the study door. “I have got you now, Mr. Yankee man,” Polly piped in shrill tones through the closed door. The young seldier came to the door, tried to open it, shook Kicked and swore gently under his breath. “Say, little girl, you let me out,’’ he demanded. ert, - one ee horipetan in CUT THIS OUT — Old English Recipe for Catarrhal Deafness and Head i Noises.

But as she sat at dinner there was the clatter of hoofs, jingling of chains and the cracking of wagon wheels out in the yard. Polly flew to the door. There at the front gate was a big sut- ler’s wagon, drawn by two stout mules. and perched on the seat was Polly’s Yankee man. He leaped down and handed out three big boxes. Polly did not give him a second ‘glance, but raised the lids at once. Then she clapped her hands with delight; for there in the first box was a big frosted cake with 10 car- dies stuck in {ts sides; in the other box were oranges and bananas and in the third candy and raisins, sugar, coffee and tea. “Oh, you dear, sweet Yankee man!’ cried Polly with tears of joy. “I told the General about your freeing me, and he gave me a flag of truce and these things come over here,” said the young soldier.

Unless something unforeseen happens between now and. 8:30 o’clock this eve- ning that long-delayed, often-postponed meeting of the St. -Leuis University athletic board will be held. Of course the fact that ex-Coach George Keogan beat the board to action in his case should rob the meeting of some of its promised thrills. Nevertheless it should be interesting on account of its triple purpose. The athietic highbrows of the Billiken institution will thoughtfully weigh the Capabilities of some eight known and nobody knows how many unknown ap- plicants for the job of coaching the 1916 blue and white football eleven. Should the board consider the actual weight of the applicants, we are quite sure that “Germany” Schulz’s 265 poende would win the job for him in a walk. However, the names of those who would be considered tonight are as fol- lows: Schulz, ali-time all-American center, from Michigan U. and former assistant coach at Wisconsin and Michi- }gan universities; McCoy, Florida U coach; Samp, assistant coach at Wis- consin U. last season; ANan, 1915 coach at Roanoke College; Hagarty, North Carolina U. coach; Glaze. last season’s gridiron mentor at Seuth Carolina U.: Lingard, who replaced Eddie Cochems at Maine University Jast season, and | Whitney, former Dartmouth backfield istar and backfield coach at Penn State last season. Some nifty bunch to pick from there. Basket Coach Sought. Then the business of getting someone to handle the basket ball deStiny at the local school has also been shifted to the eight members of the board. Eddje Gro- gan, who assisted Keogan in rning out last season’s football eleven, is picked for the jeb. Hargreve, former coach at Cincinnati High School, has also applied for the job. Hargreve is a student at the school now. Then the board will be asked to thresh out the question of whether the st Louis U.-Washington game should be played in the morning or in the after- noon next Thanksgiving day.

Post, in its copyrighted financial review 50 86%. soon War abe to 81 today, Says: - “Today's general and vigorous recov- ery on the Stock Exchange was not a response to any particujar turn in the day’s news, but merely illustrated the character of the recent market, . The decline which has occurred Was a con- sequence, first of actual panaing ae larger interests, who wished tribute’ their holdings, and, in PN of heavy speculative selling for the fall. The result of this second influence necessarily was to change the market, from one in which a very_ substantial | ‘bear account’ existed. “Bear accounts have to be covered some time by actual purchases. When a situation is really bad, and worse’ de- velopments seem ‘to be in store for us, politically or financially, the ‘short ac- count’ takes its time about buying in its stocks. “But a situation such as now exists, where the one basis of misgiving, real or pretended, geems to be what may happen under certain improbable con- tingencies,‘or what may. happen in the distant future, it is not Be safe to rely on the adverse attitude of the real in- vestor, who, after all, is the individ- ual who determines the condition of the market. Today’s - buying movement, which largely originated with the spec- past few days or weeks, was chiefly significant as an il- lustration of this principle. War Stocks’ Geod Earnin “Reports of earnings cut a figure of some interest in today’s Ri» esl es- pecially for the war munitions com- panies. The Allis-Chalmers Machinery ‘Manufacturing .Co. and the American Can Co. were in the list. The first shows $559,000 net earnings for the fourth quar- ter of 1915, as against’ a deficit of $46,000 in the same three months a year before, and the second reported an increase of $726,000 in its net results for the whole year 1915. “Despite this last mentioned increase T —_ the East is somewhat hampered by lack of terminal facilities. Kap eae permits also show substan- tial incr , St. Louis alone rgportine a gain of about 68 per cent for Decem- ber, 1915, as compared with the same month a year ago. This revival, of course, affects the business: of humber- men, contractors, hardware and allie! lines. Banking Conditions. “The banking interests of the district still hold excess reserves, , particularly in the larger centers, and are in exce!- lent position to take care of all legiti- mate business demands. In fact, the targer banks are actively in the market for commercial papér, and, in many cases, have been forced to invest their surplus funds in bonds and other se- curities in which they do not normally invest. There has been no increase in bank rates to customers or on comnier- cial paper. The bank rate to customers in the larger centers seems to be fixed at 4% to 5 per cent, with the fate in sinaller communities somewhat higher and subject to loéal conditions. “Commercial paper is selling freely | at 3 and 3% per cent and brokers re- Ecrt a scarcity of available paper. The t 1 market shows the influenae of bank purchase and is corespondingly active. “In December this bank cleared 202,874 items for a total of $84,569,718.67, by far the biggest month, both as to number cf items cleared and’ total of amount.’’ [New York “Stock Quotations [1p a a ia — * _ — country, but there are only 129 men in the national guard, and ,000 men are under the direction, by the con- stitutional arrangements of our system, of the Governors of more than twscore i states.
