WASHINGTON, Feb. .12.~Aerial mail service to isolated points in Alaska and Massachusetts is contemplated by the Postoffice Department. Bids were asked today for service on eight routes, seven of them in Alaska. Oct. 1 is named as the date for their starting. The Massachusetts route is from New Bedford to Nantucket, 56 miles, and re- turn, partly by land and partly by wa- ter. Trips would be made 18 times a week, during the summer months, and six times in the winter. An aeroplane would have to be able to carry a weight limit of 300 pounds. The present cost of the service is $23,000 a year. The Alaskan routes form a connecting link from Seward to Nome, thence to lairbanks and back to Valdez. Most of them ¢all for a service twice a week throughout the year. On some of the routes the cost now is as high as $100,- 000 a year, and in winter six weeks is required to make the trip. The aeroplane contracts allow two days for most of the trips. The longest route, Valdez to Fairbanks, is 358 miles. The extreme time limit of six weeks on some of the routes is required because mail sometimes has to be routed via Seattle.

IN SOUP THAT MADE TOO ILL IN CrIGAGO Police Hunt for Chef’s Aid Who Helped at Banquet to Archbishop. TOXINS IN. HIS ROOM Man Also Had Anarchistic Liter- ature, Including Teachings of Emma Goldman. CHICAGO, Feb. 12.—Poison, apparent- ly purposely placed in the soup served at the banquet Thursday night in honor of Archibishop Mundelein, caused the sudden illness of more than a hundred distinguished guests and threatened se- rious consequences, according to city officials today. The symptoms were first diagnosed as evidencing the presence of ptomaines. but today chemical analysis by city physicians revealed the presence of mineral or metallic poison in the sam- ples of the soup. Harry J. Doherty, manager of the University Club, where the banquet was eld, conducted an independent investi- gation and with police assistance went to the apartments of an employe in the club kitchen who quit work on the day of the banquet. Poisons in Room. In the man’s room the police say they found a chemical laboratory with flasks of various poisons, one identical with poison revealed by the chemists’s analy- sis. There, too, the police say, they found books anarclhistic in their teach- ings. The employe sought, according Doherty, is Jean Crones, 29 years old, who was hireth.by the club as an assisi- ant to the chef last September. The club manager said thaf this man had charge of preparing the soup and par- ticularly the flavoring kernels of sea- soned chicken meat. Crones, who speaks six languages, had a room at 2201 Prairie avenue. In his room on the third floor the searchers found bottles containing arsenic, cya- nide of potassium, mercury nitrate, cop- per dioxide, one quart of nitroglycerin, one high-power rifle and a trunk con- taining anarchistic literature, including written pamphlets by Emma Goldman and her photographs. .

The analysis of the city chemist was a qualitative analysis and he immédilate- ly began a new analysis to determine the quantity of the poison one in the soup. Health Commissioner Robertson _is- sued a warning to those who had been made ill by the soup but said he thought all danger had passed. The Archbishop and Gov. not partake of the soup. Among those who are still ill from the efefcts of the poison are: Judge John P. McGoorty and Monsignor Francis C. Kelly of the Catholic Church Extension‘ Society.

He told Dr. Johnson that he wanted him to come to the hotel that night to do some work for his wife, wh», he said, was sick. Dr. Jovnson and his assistant, Lody, Diefenbach opened the door and invited them in. ‘There is a difference in the stories of what hap- pened immediately after they entered the room.

He said Diefen- bach held him by the throat and had one knee on his stomach. Lody wrigglied out cf his overcoat, he said, and drew a knife from his pocket. He slasned Diefenbach across the throat with this and Diefenbach released his hold and rolled to the floor. Hears a Shot Fired. At about this moment Lody heard a shot fired. He said he could see Dr. Kennerly and Dr. Johnson struggling in the doorway of a closet. Several of the men had been calling gut.

Aboard the naval"yaucht Mayflower or his way down the Potomac River and |, ‘hesapeake Bay for a week-end trip, thy President today is considering the se- lection of a successor to Garrison. It ‘s expected that the President's decision | would be made known immediately fol- | ‘owing his return. The impressio.: seems ! to be that the President is giving fore most consideration to Secretaries Lane and Houston and Counsellor Polk of the State Department. The President left here late last night, nccompanied by Mrs. Wilson: Their re- turn is set for tomorrow night or M»n- gay morning. Lane in High Favor. Wihile Lane is the favorite, it was ; Ointed out today that there are several cxceellent reasons why the President the Interior Department. One of these 1s the Alaskan problem, on which Mr. Lane has a remarkable grasp, and which he is keenly interested in. Secretary Houston has thoroughly r2- srganized the Department of Agriculture 4ince his appointment, and that depart- ment would suffer little by the change in official heads. Praise of Houston was sung in un stinted ‘measure by an official close to the President. “Why not Col. E. M. House?’ is e quegtion frequently heard in the round of gossip. Some officials declare that the appointment of Colt. House would be a logical one. He s known throuxghout the country und, indeed, the worid at large as the closest friend of the Presi- dent. While this was urged as furnish- | ing excellent ground for his appointinent | it also Was urged strongly in opposition | end it is not bélieved that Col. House is the man whom President Wilson ha: most prominently in mind. Other men who figure in the gossip are Senator Stone, former Mayor New- ton P. Baker of Cleveland, former Gov. Walsh of Massachusetts, and Senatur Chamberlain of Oregon, chairman of tke Senate Military Committee. The President spent several hours yes- terday in going over the qualificatiors of various men suggested. A Cabinet meeting was held but Mr. Wilson did not seek advice on the subject there. He attended a dinner given in his,honor by Postmaster-General Burleson before boarding the Mayflower. German Paper Expects Secretary Daniels Will Soon Resign. BERLIN, Feb. 12.—Although American press dispatches give no details in re- gard to the circumstances of Secretary Garrison’s resignation, the Lokal Anzei- ger sees that an indication that a major- ity of Congress is opposed to “the new form of militarization by proclaiming which President Wilson expected to take the wind out of the sails of his Repub- lican opponents and above all, the saber- rattling Roosevelt.”” This newspaper ex- presses the opinion that Congress un- doubtedly represents the majority senti- ment in America in opposing the aban- donment of old principles. The Morgenpost says: ‘The feeling in Congress plainly is thoroughly peacc- ful. The propaganda for gigantic arma- ments which has been staged by secre- iary Garrison and Secretary Daniels hac received thus far no sympathy from the representatives of the people. Mr. Gar. risun and his assistant alresdy have re- signed and the Secretary of the Navy may soon follow.”’ KAISER’S YOUNGEST SON 10 WED AT POTSDAM MARCH If Marriage of Prince Joachim and Prin- cess Marie of Anhalt to Be a Simple Ceremony.

A. Brock Turns: Over $2500 and Farm—wWife as “Widow” Collected $10,000. CUBA, Mo. Feb. 12.—John Alvins Brock, who ostensibly perished in a barn fire last March, enabling his wife to collect $10,000 insurance money,. turned over to the insurance companies yesterday afternoon $2500, all that re- mained of the money, and deeded to them all his property. Brock’s estimate is that the property, above incumbrances, is worth $8500, which, with the $2500, would make $11,- 000 the amount turned over, but the insurance man doubts whether as nawek | can be realized on the real estate as Brock thinks. During the conference, which took place at the People’s Bank, Brock, who had slept little since he was confront- ed and confessed his identity in Wood- ward, Ok., several days ago, collapsed and a physician was . summoned. A stimulant enabled him to finish the transaction, Toward evening Brock drove back with his family to the farm six miles north of town, where he will stay until he finds another home. The attachment suits which had been filed at Steelville: will be dismissed Whether he and. his wife will be prose- cuted will depend upon the attitude of the insurance companies.

The War Office an- nounced today that the French pene- trated positions near Massiges over 2 front of about 200 yards. The statement says: “After a most violent artillery bom- bardment on a great part of our front in the Champagne, the French toward evening made an attack to the east of the Maisons de Champagne Farm, which is northeast of Massiges.

LONDON, Feb. 12.—Dispatches from Saloniki today tell of activity on the Greek frontier, which may indicate that the long-expected operations pf the cen- tral Powers against the allies at Sa- lonika are about to begin. The Greek Consul at Monastir, Sex via, now in the hands of the Teutonic forces, with his family and functio&- aries, has arrived at Florina, Greece, Field Marshal Mackensen recently was reported to have arrived at Monastir. The Patris at Athens states that the Germans and Bulgarians have sent away the Rumanian and Greek Consuis at Monastir; in Southwestern Servis, near the Greek frontier. ‘This is an event of great impor- tance,” the Patris continues. “It re- quires more than a protest. The Skoul- oudis Government pretends that. tite measure is a general one directed against all neutral Consuls, but there are no other neutral Consuls at Monas- tir. Furthermore, this city has noz the same interest for Rumania as the United States.”’ : The Saloniki correspondent of the Petit Parisien telegraphs that Frengh troops crossed the Varder River Feb. 10 and are now encamped on the right bank vf the river and in the region wf Janitza uno Veria. The town of Verta is an important railroad station on the line between Saloniki and Monastir. The region alluded to is to the north- west of Topsin on the Verdar River, <6 miles northwest of Saloniki, at which point the line of defenses of the camp of the ailes at Saloniki begins. The line ascends the Varder to Karasuli, from which it sweeps in a semi-circle to the southeast. The Italians and Austrians are keep- ing up their artillery duels on the Aus- tro-Italian front despite the heavy snows in the mountain regions, and here and there devilering infantry attacks against each other, but without appreciable re- sult.

FAlL T0 SETTLE STRIKE President Reber Tries to Con- vince Committee That Wage Demands Are Unjust. A committee of 11 men representing the 200 striking linemen of the Kinloch Telephone Co. this morning conferred for two hours with H. L. Reber, the company’s president, in an unsuccess- ful effort to reach an agreement. The linemen, who have been out sev- eral days, contend that their wages are being reduced because the company al- lows them full time payment only for the time consumed in going from one job to another in the county. while for- merly they received time and a half. The company contends it is paying the men full time and all expenses, and says the trouble originated during the recent rains when a number of new men were employed. President Reber said after the confer- ence that he thought he had _ con- vinced the men that they have no real grievance. The strikers will hold a meeting during the afternoon, and later will send another delegation to Reber. The Rev. Father Timothy Dempsey has offered his services to both sides as mediator.

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo., Feb. 12. —Delegates favorable to the candidacy of United States Senator Weeks of Massachusetts for President were elect- ed today by the Third Congressional District of Missouri In the first conven- tion in the West for the selection of delegates to the Republican national convention at Chicago, June j. The delegates are E. L. Morse of Ex- celsior Springs and Ezra H. Frisbee of Bethany, Harrison County, both standpatters and noted for their anti- Roosevelt sentiments. The delegates were not instructed for Senator Weeks, but were elected because they were known to be his. stanch supporters. Morse is State campai manager for Senator Weeks and has been active for several months trying to create a fa- vorable sentiment among Missouri Re- publicans for him. Morse and Frisbee wore elected with- out opposition. B. F. Harden of Gentry County and Fred Williams of Worth County were elected as alternates. Four of the five delegates from Davies County refused to -vote for either Morse or Frisbee. County Chairman M. Mann of Davies County declared that the election of Morse and Frisbee would cost the party thousands of votes in the _ district, because it would be regarded as a slap at the Progressives who would like to return to the party if they were given proper encouragement. He said that while Morse had been try- ing to create a sentiment for Weeks for President, the real sentiment of the voters was for Hughes or some Republican of liberal and progressive views. There were 54 delegates in the con- vention representing the 10 counties of the district. The only concession made anywhere to the Progressives was in the election of Dr. A. H. Van- devert of Harrison County, a former Progressive, as chairman. PLANT MAKES BIG PROFITS Baldwin Locomotive Works’ Business Increases More Than $8,000,000.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.—William H. Orpet, a junior at the University of Wisconsin, today confessed to detectives at Madi- Wis., knowledge of the death by poison of Marion Frances Lambert, 18 years ola, Lake ForestyHigh School gir! whose body was found in a wooded sec tion of Lake Forest on Thursday. of pet, in custody of detectives, Was brought to Lake Forest today to testify at the Coroner’s inquest into the death of the girl. According to the statement of officers, Orpet said he met Miss Lambert in the woods near her home Wednes- day morning by appointment. He said she pleaded with him for two hours to renew his friendship with her He said he declined. Then, according to the officers, Orpet said he left her, and as he did she swallowed thre poison which caused her death.| Orpet did not admit that he actually saw the girl die. He confessed, how- ever, that he wrote her a letter, mak- ing an appointment, declined to continue as her friend, and later wrote her an- other letter to be delivered at her home in Lake Forest after the finding of her body. It was pointed out by detectives that the second letter might havé been written to establish an alibi, the purpose of which was{to indicate that he had not Jeft Madison on the night preceding the girl’s death. Orpet’s confession came at the end of a five-hour cross-examination at the nands of detectives and State’s Attorney Daly of Lake County. He was taken into custody at Madison, Wis., yesterday afternoon, and it was after midnight when he admitted that he had been with Miss Lambert on the day of her ceath. Prior to that time he maintained stoutly that he had not left Madison, and this was corroborated by his land- lady, who based her statement on the fact that his bed appeared to have been slept in. The Lake Forest authorities today made public the statement of David James, a deaf mute, who claims to have witnessed the girl’s death. James, ac- cording to the police, said he saw a man walking in the woods with Miss Lam- bert; saw him press something that iooked like a bottle to her lips, and that shortly afterward she fell dead. Orpet, later denied that he saw Miss Lambert take the poison. “Do you think I would have let her lie there,”’ he said, pointing to the dark woods where the body was found. Authorities have announced that the girl had no improper relations with Orpet. Orpet, is reported to have given the following account of his tryst with the girl. “IT got to Lake Forest Tuesday night and failed to make an appointment with Marion for that evening, so I made one for the next morning. We had our talk in the woods and I then told her I was figuring’ on marrying another girl. “I told her plainly it was all off be- tween us. Then we arranged that I should leave the woods first and take a car to Chicago, where I could get a train for Madison. I did that. She was to follow me in a few minutes after I had time to catch my car and get out of her way. But she did not do that.” Orpéet and Miss Lambert were said by friends of the young woman to have been fréquently in each other’s com- pany for several years. BOY, 15, CONFESSES TO THEFT Surrenders to Police and Man Corrob- orates His tSory.

George Schulte, who has an office in the Navarre Building, corroborated the boy’s story that the latter had stolen $18.96 which had been given him to pay bills, but said that he did not care to prosecute Him. Joseph Cruvand, a newsboy, at 2608 Cass avenue, told the police he had given Slein $3 worth of papers to sell and that the boy had made no returns. Slein was sent to the House of Detention.

Putnam Identified as Dr, John Grant Lynam Ad- venturer of Renown. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—The John H. Putnam of John H. Putnam & Co., who disappeared Wedfesday night, and who is accused of having fleeced credulous investors and speculators out of more than $200,000 by representing he Was a partner of ‘Charles S. Harkness, vephew of the Standard Oil Harkness- es,’ has not been found. But he has been identified as Dr. John Grant Ly- man, adventurer of international = re- rown, who has lived at: the rate of $50,000 a year for 20 years, and though now a fugitive from justice, has spent only 18 months of a life career of crime in‘ prison. The identification discomfited private cetectives of the Stock Exchange, pust- office inspectors, Pinkerton men and other secret agents who were notified last September that Lyman was in or bout New York. The Stock Exchange detectives took I.yman’s escape the hardest, but Capt. Otfley and his men of the Department of Justice had no reason to feel cheer- ful. On the same floor and directly across the hall from the Stock Exchange detectives Lyman selected his quarters for another haul. It was in the Prince George Hotel, where Capt. Offley lives, that Lyman first resumed his residence in New York. Appeareg to Be Fearless. Lyman fairly flaunted himself in the faces of men who sought to find him, end in the city where he began his stock swindies was not even suspected. Post- office Inspector William G. Swain, after reading newspaper accounts of John H. Putnam’s operations, noticed a resem- biance to methods practiced by Lyman in many cities. The inspector got a picture: from the Rogues’ Gallery and showed it to several employes in Put- nam’s office and they recognized their boss instanatly. Louis Thornet, the office manager, who had impressed Assistant United States Attorney Stanton and Postoffice Inspectors McQuillen and Mayhew as an upright young man after a long ex- amination Thursday, was released, and them brought before them again. Thor- net confessed he had served 18 months in the Federal penitentiary at O’Neill’s Isjand, Washington, for helping Lyman break jail at Oakland and that Putnam and Lyman were the same. Thornet was then arrested for conspir- acy to defraud. Gorham Tufts, who lives in Los Anh- geles and says his business is “invest- ments,’’ went to’ the Federal office ané supplied the additional confirmation. Tufts was one of the Los Angeles men, including a preacher, whe went on Ly- man’s $20,000 bond after a conviction in Los Angeles in January, 1914, fcr fraud in selling stock of the Panama Develop- ment Co. Tufts said he considered him- self responsible in a way for losses on the bond, because he had induced other Los Angeles men to sign. Tufts said he had been told that Lyman was in New- ark by Ellen Peck, ‘‘queen of confidence women,’’ who now lives in, Nyack and is 8 years old. Quarreled With Woman. From this associate of Lyman in the underworld it was iearned that the pro- moter had come to her with a womai who, according to the Postoffice inspec- tors, is the wife of a Captain in the British army. For some reason Ellen Peck and Lyman quarreled, and the ‘Queen” sought revenge by informing the authorities at Los Angeles where she knew Lyman was wanted. Immedi- ately Tufts came East. He has beea here since, making tis headquarters at the Hotel McAlpin, hiring detectives and conducting a search fur the fugitive. One of the reasons he could not find Lyman at first was that the Englisr woman had taken up her residence with Lyman in Freehold, N. J. There four months ago a baby was born to the woman. The Postoffice inspectors say she sailed Jan. 6 on the St. Louis under the name of Mrs. John Grant Lyma.i Her husband has been in the trenches since she took up with Lyman shortly after Lyman’s irrival in London after jumping bail in Los Angeles. Tufts said that in recent weeks he had caught sight of Lymun on several oc- casions, but alwavs the promoter was in a fast automobile, and got away. A few times Mr. Tufts caught the auto- mobile number, but he found that Ly- map never used the same car twice. A Persistent Pursuer. “Pinkerton men and other detectives I employed assured me that Lyman was in Europe,” Tufts said. ‘They would not believe me when I told them he was in New York. I got no help from them or other detectives. But l’m out to get that man. I’ve spent $000 trying to get him. I'll spend all the money I’ve got and put five years on it before I quit.’ Tufts.explained that on Lyman’s con- viction the swindler confessed and rleaded so well that even the Judge was sympathetic. Lyman appealed from the conviction, and though the District Attorney publicly warned Los Angeles people to beware of trusting him, Tufts and his associates listened to Lyman’s eSnies that in two weeks he would in able ga MO ee eee see Years PILL An Effective Laxative Purely Vegetable Constipation, Indigestion, Biliousness, etc. _ Rattles Piece of Chain and Taps Message Sub- marine Will Be Blown Up, According to Story as Published in London. Special Correspondence to the Post- Dispatch. LONDON, Feb. 12.—The story of a Ger- man submarine which was caught by the British, as related by a member of its crew; is published in the Lon- don Saturday Journal. The submarine | was deploying off the south coast of Ireland, the prisoner told a Journal contributor, and had just sunk a large steamer, which, from his description, may have been the Hesperian. After this strike the submarine turned for a certain part of the neighboring coast, where the floor of a little vay afforded a convenient resting place. The German then relates: “We scat on the silt at the bottom of the va, all iac night and well on to the next day, until the air smclled sour, liké the sweat of a man suffering from acu* rheumatism. It is a fear- ful ‘eeling that comes over one when the air in a submarine gets like that.

Clank of Iron Heard. : If you can apprecicte that and bring vourself to im. gine what a nervous, apprehensive lot w had become, you will be able to realize the sensation in that submarine when severybody on board distinctly heard the rasping clank of iron on the outer ski-. At Kiel and at Wilhelmshaven they tell tales in sailors’ beer * ‘'s, when submarine after submarine fails to ‘e- turn and nothing is hear” of the ‘ate of those on board, of the English trawl- i+~ for submarines as thr fishing boa's in the G rman vucean trawl for flat- fish, but with a trawn ret made of ste +l mesh through which no submarine can hope to pass. Such tales had been heard by mos of us or that subme~‘ne, and they had made.a grea’ impression upon those of us—and it was nearly everybody — whose first expedition against the enemy it was. ‘T was standing under the hatch when this happened, and the torpedo-mate was facing me and in the act of giviag me - ne orders. .ie stopped dead, looked at me, and then turned as if he wov'l go and report to the comman4- er, who was in the engine room. “Just as he took the first step there came a new sound from ahove, and the torpedo-mate stopped with his leg stretched out as he made the, step. Tapping on the Hatch. ‘“The sound was as if someone was tapping on the hatch with a hammer. *'’Fetch the Herr Lieutenant-Captain quickly,” shouted the torpedo-mate excitedly, and I started to obey the command; but another man anticipated me and I stayed. ‘The tapping continued—two single sharp taps, then a pause, then two more single taps, and so on. ‘Yes, it did sound something like that —iddy, iddy, iddy, iddy—all the time. “The torpedo-mate became very ex- cited. He made a move as if he would mount the steps leading to the hatch, changed his mind and then bolted in the direction of the engine-room. “That tapping still went on and it scunded so uncanny that I felt uneasy in my stomach. “Presently the torpedo-mate came back, and the Lieutenant-Captain was, with him and I heard them speaking in English. “The torpedo-mate mvuunted the steps to the hatch, took off his shoe, aad With the heel gave two single taps on the hatch cover, with an interval be- iween them. “As soon as he did this the tapping on the outside stopped, but recommenced a moment afterward with a change in the suvund. “Yes, that is right: Iddy, pause ump- ty, iddy, iddy, umpty, pause, iddy, ump- ty, umpty, iddy, pause, iddy, umpty, iddy, iddy, pause, umpty, umpty, umpty, pause, iddy, iddy, addy, pause, iddy, iddy, pause, iddy, iddy, iddy, umpty, pause, iddy. “When the tapping ceased the torpedo- mate held out the book to me so that I could pass it to the commanding officer; but he waved it away, and then told the torpedo-mate to ‘read it.’ “Will You Surrender f” “As near as I can remember. the tor- pedo-mate read as follows, in Iiinglish: ‘Explosive charge fixed to your hull and connected by wire to destroyer above. Chain attached to your peri- scope, with other end round steam winch. You cannot get away. Will you surrender or be blown up?’ * ‘Read it again,’ said the Lieutenaut- Captain, speaking like a dazed: and in- credulous man. “The torpedo-mate read it again, slow- ly and emphatically, as if to give each word time to sink into the commanding officer’s mind. When he had finished he added a word of his own. That word was: ‘Diver.’ “There was some excitement ‘n the submarine in the minutes that followed. The Lieutenant-Captain took counsel with the other officers in whispers, ani at last told the torpedo-mate to signal on the .hatch that we would surrender. “The signal of surrender was made with the heel of the. torpedo-mate’s shoe, and a reply was tapped out from above. ***Rise to the surface, and remember that if ycu sink the boat you will go down with it,’ the torpedo-mate read out. “The Lieutenant-Captain sadly gave the necessary orders, and presently we wer: on the surface, the hatch was opened. and I followed the officers and the tor- pedo-mate on deck” Lieutenant-Captain “Swindled.” ‘‘There, almost alongside us, was a big destroyer, with her guns trained on us; and there, sitting on our hull, with an arm cuddling our periscope, was the figure of a inan in diving dress, dang- ling a bit of heavy chain in his hand. “But there was no sign of any ex- plosive attached tu the hull. **Down below,’ said the Captain,’ making a move hitch. "Please stay where you are,’ said a polite voice from the destroyer, as the men lining the side leveled their rifles at us. “ ‘Swindled!’ said the Lieutenant-Cap- tain, with a hopeless movement of his hands. “The destroyer edged alongside and We were ordered to come on board. “*The Captain is engaged for a me- ment,’ said a young officer, waving his hand to where the diver was being ex- tracted from his diving dress. ‘He will introduce himself presently.’ ”’ Lieutenant- toward the ete oe to furnish his own bond through friends in the East. Meanwhile, he said he had a rich offer from a moving picture con- cern to act in “Get Rick Quick Walling- ford.”” Tufts and his friends gave the bond and Lyman fled. Lyman has been engaged in German propaganda, according to a statement by postoffice inspectors. It is charged that he has been supplying men promi- nent in governmental circles in Berlin with information obtained from the wife of an English army officer, said to be a member of the British general staff serving in France. Lyman, the authorities say, met the British officer‘s wife in London in 1914. It is asserted that she came with him to this country.’ Lyman was once a member of the New York Stock Exchange. He was forced to sell his seat, it was said, be- cause he engaged in the promotion of questionable enterprises, inciuding zinc mines, and the governors of tne ex- change feared his . operations would cause a scandal. The authorities say Lyman’s profits under the name of John H. Putnam during his recent brief operations in this city were small as compared with suins obtained in other parts of the country. Aside from cleaning up a fortune on Panama land development frauds, Ly- man is credited with having made $300,000 through his connection a few years ago with mining operations. Had Ear Drum Invention. Lyman first came to this city in 1888 and studied medicine. A few years lat- er he attracted attention by announc- ing the invention of a gold ear drum, with the aid of which, he said, the deaf could hear. Next he was heard of in Chicago, but retuyned here and estab- lished himself as a doctor. He appar- ently had little difficulty in passing as a person of more than usual conse- quence in the world of finance. In 19099 he became a member of the stock brokerage firm of Joshua Brown Co. Putnam & Co., who began business here Dec. 15, last, sold oil company stocks on the partial payment plan, promising returns of 50 per cent to in- vestors all over the country, acco ing to the postoffice authorities.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—A signifi- ‘ant political announcement was made in Washington coincident with the departure of Col. Roosevelt for the West Indies. It emanated from the office of Representative Augustus P. Gardrter of Massachusetts, and an- nounced that four prominent Repub- licans of the old Bay State would be candidates for delegates at large for Massachusetts to the Republican Na- tional Convention on a_ platform pledging themselves to vote for Col. Roosevelt’s nomination for President. The following names were signed to the announcement: Grafton D. Cush- ing, Charles Sumner Bird, A. P> Gard- ner and Robert M. Washburn. Representative Gardner, who op- posed Col. Roosevelt in 1912, belongs to the regular Republican organiza- tion, while Charles Sumner Bird has been the leader of the third party Progressives, and was the candidate of the Progressives against Repre- sentative Gardner for Governor two years ago. Senator Lodge, who recently issued a strong declaration in support of his colleague, Senator Weeks, declined to comment on the action and statement made by Representative Gardner, who is Senator Lodge’s son-in-law. Lodge had been slated as one of the “big four” candidates on the Weeks ticket. Ex-Senator Crane is expected to lead the fight against Roosevelt in Massachusetts. If -Senator Weeks should be withdrawa for any reason, the name of Gov. McCall probably would be substituted by the Repub- licans who do not want to support Roosevelt. There have been persistent rumors that Senator Weeks was con- templating withdrawal from the race, but he personally has denied these reports, and hig managers have at- tributed them to the malicious work of political adversaries.

ABLO CASALS, the celebrated — Spanish violoncello virtuoso, is | so short of stature that when playing he sits on a specially made highchair, with the tips of his toes barely touching the floor; but his per- formance yesterday as soloist with the Symphony Orchestra was that of a giant among artists who wield the bow. His offering was Dvorak’s melodious and vigorously rhythmical! Concerto for Violoncello, Opus 104, one of the finest of existing works for the instrument, and one which, while affording scope for the display of his amazing tech- nique, was still more notable as a ve- Shicie for an ekhibition of his consuin- mate powers of artistic interpretation. His handling of his’ instrument was violinistic in style, such was the fleet- ness of his fingering and the speed of his bowing; and this impression was heightened by the piercing quality -f his instrument's tone. But there was sturdy force when occasion required, together with uncanny nimbleness and strength in rapid passages, a suave d flowing tone in cantilene episodes, a keen zest in rhythm, and an intense eoncentration of feeling. In the greut finale the “‘little giant’’ had energy and fire enough to drag the orchestra after him to cHmaxes that fairly blazed with musical ardor. Audience Greatly Pieased. Rarely does an instrumental artist please his audience so completely as did Casals the big Odeon gathering: and this was in spite of the fact that the working of soloist and orchestra together was not as smooth and fin- ished as it no doubt will be tonight, when the program is to be repeated, The concerto has been giving the or- chestra trouble at rehearsals all week; and the Friday aftern.on concerts are. after all, in .the nature of public re- hearsals. As his encore Casals played a “Sara bande and Bouree”’ by Bach, without accompaniment. it was a prodigy of ightning technique, with a velocity ex pected of the violin rather than the bulkier ‘cello; and it won him applause mere fervent even than that which re- warded the concerto. For the second time this season DI- rector Zach presented for its ‘first per- formance anywhere’ a work by an American. composer—the ‘Festival of Youth” overture by Arthur Shepherd, “who was born in Idaho 35 years ago, end who is a member of the faculty of the New England Conservatory of Mu- vic, in Boston. A Ne 1 Compesition. This composition wus refreshingly novel in that it was not ‘“‘program’’ music; it had no story to tell and no picture to paint. It is an example of that style in which Beethoven worked, tut which many ‘moderns consider too o.d-fashioned for them—thke style «f “pu bsolute’’ music. It is also cast in the classic form, aithougzh very up-to-date in its use of unaccustomed melodiz ju tervals, piquant harmonies and unusual. orchestral combinations. The beauty and vigor vf the com»osi- tion as a whole made a highly favorable impression upon the audience, and Sher- terd, who camé from Boston tw hear his work, Was,called upon to rise from his seat in the parquet and bow his ac- kiowledgements, He was extremely pleased with the orchestra’s version of his composition, which it played from manuscript, and decla:ed gratefully that Director Zach, by affording American composers an cpportunity to hear their works, gives them the. equivalent of five years of growth. The remainder of the program con sisted of Goldmark’s tuneful and bril- liant “Sakuntala” overture, and Schu- mann’s fourth symphony, in D ninor. an eloquent and impassioned love poem written for his wife.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. While City Counselor Daves unquestionably de- serves credit for doing away with the shuffling in appeals to the Supreme Court, whereby owing to omission of paying a filing fee the appeals were, not docketed and stood a fair chance to be forgotten, such performances by sundry ap- pellants is a grievance of long standing, as the ee _ following will show: Im 1863 I was elected Judge of the St. Louis Law Cc issioners’ Court, which had exclusive appellate jurisdiction from Justices of the Peace in St. Louis City and County. The Judge was a salaried officer, but the clerk’s compensation con- " sisted of fees, and he was entitled to a docket _ fee of $1 on each appeal, the payment of. which - amount was a condition precedent for docketing ‘the appeal. The clerk alone, however, was in- a On assuming the offi I examined the records and found that sevefal hundred appeals had not been docketed because the docket fee had not been paid. I at once s the clerk to waive his fee, which he cheer- did, and caused the list of all the appeals 2 to be published in a St. Louis daily at my own expense, with an attached notice that these ap- peals would be set for hearing at the next term of court.

Touis spirit, allow me to suggest that he work ut some plan whereby the young business men of St. Louis (the generation that wil! step in and take charge of St, Louis in the next few years) can join the Business Men’s League and take an active interest in the welfare of St. Leuis. ‘It is absurd to think that a man of 25 ‘can render the same financial aid as an older Man, but can you figure youth and enthusiasm dollars and cents?

Do you want to have permanent good rosds and save money? Or-— Do you want to have bad roads and lose money? This is the real fasue of the good roads bond issue in St. Louis County, In short, a simple calculation shows that the roads, will cost the taxpayers less than the in- sm | crease of the road fund through the 40 per cent in- crease of assessment which will be necessary if the bond issue is defeated. The County Court, in its letter guaranteeing the efficient and honest expenditure of the proceeds of the bond issue, warned the county taxpayers that the defeat of the bonds would necessitate a 40 per cent increase of assessment to provide money for bridge and road repairs. The Permanent Road and Bridge Association has carefully figured the contrasting results. The bond issue will increase the present tax by an average of 20 cents per $100 for the term of the bonds. The present tax rate of $1.26, with 20 cents added, will be $1.46. On property assessed at $1000 the annual tax will be $14.60. An increase of 40 per cent in the assessment of property now assessed at $1000 will put its valua- tion at $1400. At the present tax rate of $1.26 the taxes on the property will be $17.64. The saving to the owner of property assessed at $1000, if the proposed bonds are voted will be $3.04. The wayfaring man, though a fool, can see the good business in voting for the bond issue.. It will not only bring immeasurable benefits to the peo- ple of the county, but it will save every taxpayer money. The saving will be $3.04 for every $1000 of property. All the proceeds of the bonds will be expended in St. Louis County. Eighteen cents of the tax from the increased assessment will go to the State Treasury. . There ought not to be a doubt of the result of the 7 on Feb. 15. = = * i DYSURANCE MONEY IN WAR BONDS. Switzerland is deeply agitated by the discovery that of its millions in state insurance funds, all but about $120,000 has been invested in German of our own insurance funds has been more care- fully guarded since the Armstrong investigation. Probably we may assume that J. P. Morgan & Co. were not permitted to put any of the money of our big insurance companies into the bonds of the allies. ‘The outcome of the war is too uncertain yet to enable either set of bonds to be classed as strictly gilt-edged investments for trust funds. = = = = NO SEGREGATION HEREAFTER.

Why not? To create anew the “old swimming hole” has become an accepted municipal] function. Bathing beaches of an elaborateness of appointment that makes the original “old swimming hole” seem as crude as a frog puddle are available in many cities. St. Louis has one of the largest in the country. Regu- lated fishing in park lakes has long been a part of th® Post-Dispatch platform. It is conducive to the health and good temper of the population even if nobody ever catches anything. The issue should be pressed until crowds enter- ing the parks with fish poles and bait on a Sat- urday afternoon are as familiar a sight as crowds entering with ball bats, tennis racquets and golf sticks. = = ™ "SS “*'NO SEAT NO FARE’’ IN NEW YORK. “Herding people into street cars and shaking them down for fares” is the way an Albany legis- lator deseribes the street railway method in New York City and State. “And it is about time this was stopped,” adds the legislator, by way of in- troducing a no-seat-no-fare measure in the As- sembly. If a seat is not provided for each fare charged, the measure contemplates punishment of the railroad for misdemeanor. Certainly the measure squares with simple hon- esty. It is probably constitutional, and it is en- forceable, Its passage into law is doubtful, because it is revolutionary and would vastly damage the ;| transportation interests. The plea will be pre- sented that these could not do business under such bond issue, which will provide for permanent good. bonds and other German securities. The safety/ .

DOWN, The subsidence of the river from $1 feet to 18 feet above low-water mark left the levee pave- ment concealed under a tawney blanket of silt. At the top of the slope it is only a few inches in depth, but in other places approximates three feet. Here and there the levee looks like the smooth incline of an ocean beach, Generally, however, it has the appearance of a plowed field. The wash of rivulets as the waters went down divided it into furrows and heaped up windrows. From how many upstream acres does this sedi- ment represent the long cultivated, fertilized sur- face, washed away in the freshet? Obviously it {s the more valuable asset in some part of the hold- ings of land owners above. The tons and tons of rich mud spread by the waters over this com- paratively small area are a more than ordinarily instructive object lesson on the enormous amounts of soil swept to the South by the Mis- sissippi. Much is carried at low stages as well as high. It gives to the stream the color Henry M. Stanley spoke of when, writing from Africa, he compared an interfor river to the “Missis- sippi’s rusty-brown flow.” It will presently be the task of men with high- pressure hose from the harbor boat to wash this precipitate of farm land from the pavement back into the river and permit it after its brief stay to continue its journey to places where it may be more welcome. Doubtless some part of it will find its way to the gulf, which is sald to receive one-twentieth of a cubic mile of mud from the river every year. Manifestly there wil] be loss as well as gain when the capricious river is confined strictly to its channels. The bottom land on which this fertile mud is left can defy famines in potash and other fertilizer and surpasses in pro- ductiveness acres enriched by the Nile. Manifestly, too, with or without confined river channels, the wise upstream farm owner who does not wish downstream neighbors to. acquire land and fertilizer cheaply at his expense will seek to minimize the erosion of rains and river. If the city of New York Is offered $900,000 for five years of its garbage, maybe the garbage of St. Louis might be made to give out an odor of prosperity, too. eel = = '-~ - STATE DAIRY INSPECTION. ; Not long ago, a large St. Louis milk concern requested the Illinois authorities that an inspec- tion be made of a herd of cows owned by it. The result, 38 out of a herd of 51 condemned as tuber- culous, appeared to show neglect by the State in- spectors. Or it may be that the inspectors have too much to do to make frequent inspection of cattle. : And now the Southern Illinois Milk Producers Association, at its annual meeting Wednesday, passes a resolution asking for uniform inspection of cows for tuberculosis by the State inspectors, and a system under which herds will be inspected at stated intervals. It may not be to the interest of the State to forewarn the herd keepers and owners of the com- ing of the inspector. But it is to the interest of the public and all concerned that inspection be thorough and effective. That it is not so at present is evident, from the facts published. St. Louis is not guarded against impure milk at the sources of supply. Precautions taken after receipt of milk are not enough. With adequate inspection at the source, these precautions would not be necessary. PERILS OF CHILDHOOD. “Child Betterment,” a periodical published by the Child Betterment Bureau, with headquarters at Chicago, is urging a law to prohibit the sale of poisonous fly killers, which annually cause the death of large numbers of children. Arsenic is the principal ingredient of poisonous fly killing devices. These devices too often are placed where little children can reach them. In 1914 no less than 46 deaths of children were traced to this source. As a result of laws passed to stop the sale of these devices, the death rate in 1915 fell to 26. Here is an instance where legislation is needed, because of the ignorance and carelessness of parents and others. There are plenty of ways to destroy flies without the use of poisons of the kind which have been proved so fatal to children. Mis- souril should legislate against the fly-poison de- vices, But who will guard the little child against the tub of boiling water placed on the floor by a thoughtless person? And against the open fire- piace, the matches left where baby hands can get them, the bottle of blueing, the unguarded stair, the bonfire and other perils? No laws can take the neat af of human care and thoughtfulness. a A. er rTerelUL!y WHO BEARS THE BRUNT? In the French Chamber of Deputies Minister Ribot, at the last session in January, declared that the poorer classes in France have not been made aware of the progress of a war, in a finan- cial sense, as they have not been asked to con- tribute one cent towards meeting the expense. Only an income of $1000 a year and upward feels the weight, if the recipient is unmarried; and $1500 if he is married. Moreover, each child up to the fifth is en- titled to $250, and beyond the fifth to $300, with- out taxation, A father of five children may have an income of $2400 without paying one cent to the state. The burden lies entirely upon those whose in- come is above the wage rate, and is only slight on the lower gradations of even assessable in- Arch have to pay a relatively but upon incomes and actual pos- France’s strength, financially, he war would not impoverish the ' t only the classes; whereas in other . == congue a& erates ANN an an iat be AE = ee ee ee a &) Jiwis te ts io ‘4s rh ab ee re Se Rea We eet et Ail] wv rR ee ae “VR a LIN ok : empneetinmetetentnisiieed nee NP CORA AT Ones EA - Hest vf , Pt f $ fe etacea Ss hc og Moe Ee SE, rsd a ae e ox nf lh Pi FESS : Os S Pee i Af : ee ag gg gE gg Le gy gO CO mc yy Ra NG a ON et ge — JUST A MINUTE ee ee one ag TO ST.

He took the com- mandante aside and whispered, rather louder than he would had he known how well both Ines and I knew Spanish. I caught enough to size up the situation—a prisoner had snitched on us. “In slangy English, I told Bill what was on and what to do. I watched my chance. I knew they didn’t intend to do anything till they got back in the commandante’s room and could summon & corporal’s guard. Finally, the alcalde unlocked and opened the door to the corridor. With one sweep of my arm, I shoved Miss Balmaceda out, Bill gave the alcalde a kick in the stomach that deubled him up, and before the commandante had grasped the situation, both of us were out in the corridor, and had slammed the outer door to and shot the big bolt. “Then we just flew. As we shot through the commandante’s room, I grabbed a revolver that wag hanging from a chair back in its holster. “As we dashed out into the passage- ‘way between the main entrance and the courtyard we could hear the shouts of the commandante back in the building calling the guard, but before the sentry had sensed anything out of the ordinary, I had the commandante’s gun under his nose. And, while I held him up, Bill slammed to the courtyard gate and barred it. Then he and Inez got buay slipped the breech blocks out of the Mauser rifles in the rack in the guard- room, and stuffed them inte our pock- ets. We had just finished that job when the first soldiers in the barracks to respond to the commandante’s shouts were shaking the inside gate, trying to get out into the passageway. “Three minutes later the three of us, with the frightened sentry in tow, were down on the decks of the Zafiro and the crew were rushing back and forth cut- ting mooring lines with axes. And in about 12 minutes from the time we slammed the door on the commandante we were steaming out of the mouth of the harbor. By that time, I guess they had forced the gate to the courtyard, for we saw figures scurrying down the pathway to the jetty. But not one shot could they fire with their breech- blocks scattered all over our decks.”’ ND here Peters would pause. it made a good ending. Up to this point he told me the story re- peatedly, in fullest detail. But the sequel he only told me once. **Yes,’’ he said then, very quietly, ‘‘we met her about 10 miles away from the mouth of the harbor.

Lawrence were married was per- fect. “Happy ig the bride the sun shines on,” quoted Robert as he took her into his arma. But Jane ha@’no sense of atmosphere or of the calm beauty of the day. She had married Robert partly because he was the most attractive, the most el- igible of all the young men she knew, and partly to escape from the new step- mother her father had just presented to the family. Jane, an only daughter, had taught school since her mother’s death two years before. Her father had demurred, but she had declared she would rather teach and pay a maid than to do the housework herself. The consequence was that when she married Robert she knew absolutely nothing of home mak- ing. Westland, the suburb where Robert had decided to live, was a pleasant enough place, but Jane had rebelled from the first. “T thought we were going to live in New York, not in a poky little one-horse town like this!" she grumbled. “I’m sure you could have managed it if you had tried.” A shade of impatience crossed Rob- ert’s face but was gone in a moment. He had rented a small house set quite a way back from the street, with two towering trees, sentinel like, guarding the front door. Discontent From the Start. QBERT was sure he had sent on all the necessary furniture to make the house comfortable, but when Jane saw the unhomelike, barren interior; the chairs set primly against the wall, and the ugly green shades at the windows unrelieved by any draper- ies, she wondered dully how ,leng she would be able to stand it; and which was the most depressing, the outside or eee ne | ; me day Robert Harding and Jane Gives a brilliant ¢! y site & does ae rub off or > duet rs) a net anneals to the iron—that lasts four times as long as any other.

MORE than 600 jobless women, more than half of them with college training, found work in New York through the agency of the Inter- collegiate Bureau of Occupations in the year ending April 80, 1915, ac- cording to the third annual report of the bureau, issued not long ago. Many of that number became secretaries, companions, suffrage workers, libra- rians, settlement. workers, workers in war relief and nurses.

By ened William M. (Editor Genealogy Magazine.) Clemens. T father of the sixteenth President of the United States, migrated from Virginia to Mercer County, Ky. (then a part of the original State of Virginia). He en- tered a traci of 400 acres of land on the gouth side of Ticking Creek, under a Government land warrant, and built @ log cabin, near Fort Beargrass, on the site now occupied by the City of Louisville. In the second year of this settlement, Abraham Lincoln, while at work in his field, was slain by an In- dian from ambush. Thomas, the young- er of the brethers, was seized by the savages, but was rescued by Modrecai, the elder brother, who shot and killed the Indian. Of his father, Thomas, the President subsequently said: “My father, at the time of the death of his father, was but six years old, and he grew up literally without education.” Thomas Lincoln wes @ tall and a stal- wart ploneer and an expert hunter. While a lad he hired himself to his uncle, Isaac Lincoln, living on Watauga Creek, @ branch of the Holson River, in Tenessee, He married Nancy Hanks Sept. 23, 1806, and settled in Larue County, Ky. They had three children: Sarah, Abraham and Thomas. Sarah married Aaron Grigsby and died in mid- dle life. Thomas, who was two years younger than Abraham, died in infancy. In 1816 the Lincoln family removed to Spencer County, Ind., where they built and lived in a log-cabin, where Mrs. Lincoln died Oct. 5, 1818, at the age of 36. In the autumn of the following year Thomas Lincoln married for his second wife Mrs. Sally Johnson (nee Bush). The family moved once more, in 1830, this time to Tilinois, where they built another leg cabin, near Decatur, Ma- eon County. After assisting his father to build the. cabin, split rails and fence and plow 15 acres of land, Abraham Lin- coln struck out for himself, hiring him- self to any who needed manual labor. His father finally settled in Googse-Nest Prairie, Coles County, Ill., where he died in 1861, at the age of 73. Isaac Lincoln of Tennessee. SAAC LINCOLN, ‘uncle of Thomas | Lincoln and granduncie of the President, married Mary Ward, one of three sisters, Phoebe Ward having married Daniel Stover, and Louise Ward having married Christian Carri- ger. A great-granddaughter of Louise Carriger Ward, in a recent letter to the writer, thus sheds new light on the early history of the Tennessee Lin- colns: “My great-grandmother was Louise Carriger (nee Ward), whose sister, Mary Ward, married Isaac Lineotn, great-uncle of President Lincoin. Thomas Lincoln, father of Abraham, worked as a farmhand for hig uncle, Isaac. My grandmother's sister, Mary Lincoln Carriger, was named for her aunt, Mary. In her will Mary Ward Lincoln gave 10 negro slaves to my great-grandfather, Christian Carriger, who was well-to-do and did not need them. She gave all her re- maining property to her nephew, Wil- liam Stover (son of her sister, Phoebe Ward and Daniel Stover), when poor Abe was so very poor and needy. Would it not have changed the his- tory of these United States if Abra- ham Lincoln had only received what was bequeathed to William Stover? Perhaps Abraham Lincoln waa pre- destined to be poor, as was his father before him. Had he been made the heir of Aunt Mary Lincoln, perhaps the illustrious Abraham would not have struggled in poverty, and would never have amounted to ‘a row of pins." Had Thomas Lincoln remained Mts.

From the musty records reeently found in the eourt house of Carter County, Tenn., have been unearthed the last wills of Isaac Lincoln and his wife Mary, the uncle and aunt of Thomas Lincoln, and the great uncle and aunt of the martyred President. The story told here for the first time in connection with the anniversary of Lincoln’s birth, is one replete with human interest.

William Stever’s son, Col, Dan Stover, raarried a daughter of the late President Andrew Johnson, and a son of Col. Dan Stover. Andrew Johnson Stover, whe now lives tn Carter County, Tenn., and Hon. Andrew Johnson Patterson of Greenville, Tenn., are the only living grandsons of Andrew Johnson. It was here at the Stover farm that Andrew Johnson, while on a visit to his daugh- ter, Mrs. Daniel Stover, died, July 31, 1875.

PORTRAIT of the American wom- ‘an, worthy to stand among a very few such portrayals in fiction, is furnished in “Life and Gabriella,” El- len Glasgow’s new novel. Loyal to her native South, Miss Glas- gow has made her heroine &@ Southern woman, from Richmond. She could, just. as fittingly, have shown Gabriella as coming from Haverhill, or Grand Rapids, or Leavenworth. For Gabriella, in her essential courage, common sense and womanliness, ts no sectional char- acter. She is all-American. The word “life’ is rightly placed in the book’s title. The story shows life first, then the woman’s response to life. To show life is a task of higher artistry than to portray an individ- ual, and-the author has shown life as it is—not easy, for a person of purpose and conscience, yet not inexorably hard, made-up, not of a series of melodra- matic climaxes, but of the patient pro- cesses of character and circumstance. An instance of this treatment of life appears in the surroundings of Ga- briella’s marriage. ‘“‘I can manage my life,” she tells her mother, and she forthwith proceeds to prove her moth- er’s saying that “a smart woman in love is worse than a silly one.’”” But though she is deceived in the character of her handsome, worthless husband, Gabriella still finds matters not so bad as they might be if the husband's pa- rents’ were not sympathetic and, at times, materially helpful. Again, when Gabriella becomes a busi- ness woman, and finds that financial help, on which she had counted, cannot be had without unthinkable concessions, she simply gets along without the help, and no vindictive effort is made to crush her. But nowhere does the writer give 2 more pleasing exhibition of her art than in leading up to Gabriella’s second mar- riage. Before her first marriage, the ambitious girl had broken her engage- ment to a man of fine personal qual- ities, but without high worldly ambition. “He ain't ever married anybody else,” Gabriella was told by an old neighbor, years afterward, ‘‘and he ain’t goin’ to. The faithfulness that ought to be spread over the whole sex gets stored up in a few, and he’s one of ’em.”’ When Gabriella became not only a di- vorcee, but a widow, it would seem to most authors, and to most readers, that the time for rewarding such faithful- NEW LIGHT ON SOUTH AMERICA. ' IVID descriptions of places visited and people and customs‘ encoun- tered in Southern South America by the Roosevelt Scientific Expedition are contained in “Through South Amer- ica’s Southland,” by the Rev. J. A. Zahm, just issued from the press of D. Appleton & Co. The Rev. M. Zahm, who previously had visited the Northern part of the continent and has’ written of it under the pseudonym of H. J. Mozans, was & member of the party throughout the journey. He confesses at the outset that the equinoctial regions of South America always have had an irresistable attraction for him and also that one of his chief reasons for wishing to join the expedition was to follow in the footsteps of the old Conquistadores, or explorers of this vast region. His book. therefore, in addition to visualizing the sights of the vast continent, has afford- ed him an opportunity to revel in its historical lore—to recall the deeds of its heroes of centuries ago, which he does through many pages of the volume. As to the fauna and flora and other scien- tific data gathered on the pilgrimage, he apparently has left this largely to the pen of his distinguished companion. “Why is it that we see no vessels flying the American flag?’ was a ques- tion frequently asked by Americans on Shipboard as the party was nearing South American shores, the author says. Farther on, he tells of meeting at sev- eral points on the continent evidences of “German invasion,” large colonies of Teutons having sprung up magically within the space of but a few years. At Bahia, Brazil, the first large city vis- ited, he declares that a high German official voiced a regret that Col. Roose- velt had visited South American, “be- cause,’ the author quotes him, “he {fs going to take South American trade away from Germany.” Throughout the Rev. Mr. Zahm’s book he impresses the reader that South America is “waking up,”’ that not only GJerman, but Italian and other immi- srants as well have come into the va- vious countries and are proceeding to make the most of their vast resources which hitherto have been prodigally wasted.

HE world of feminism will be in- T terested to know that Paul Elder & Co., San Francisco, are getting ready for publication a book entitled “The Soul of Woman,” and having the sub-title “‘An Introduction to the Philos- ophy’ of Feminism,” by Paul Jordan Smith of the English department of the University of California. The author contends that the fight for suffrage is nearing a successful close, and that feminism is more inclusive than any of the earlier phases of the woman move- ment. These, in fact, existed as mere forerunners of feminism. The book is a radical statement of the implications of feminism, with its Nietz- schean attitude toward morals, and gives in essence the philosophy of the most advanced leaders of the woman move- ment the world over. oa QUITE A POSE. POSE” is the rather quaint name of |. bovuk by Stella Benson. It is a story about a gardener who gardens theoretically and poses practically most of the time and a suffragette who goes about suffragetting in and out of sea- son. It is written in the lelsure manner in which the English write and the lumor, too, is somewhat English. It reminds one of the Englishman who 1.- dignantly velled at an Amercan: “I'll have yo'l know that English jokes ara not to be laughed at.” The characters are rather whimsically uncommon, put they do not hold the interest that Locke’s most unusual characters hold. (Macmillan.) ee A STRONG DRAMA, N “Red Wine of Roussillon,’’ “Vi'!- | liam. Lindsey has brought forth a strong medieval drama in blank verse. Unlike verse dramas, this one is not loquacious. The speeches are short. and crisp and the verse is not labored The characterization is good and the “lot is simple. As a rule medieval dramas have involved plots, difficu!t to follow. It is a play which will ‘be enjoyed In the reading as it would be in seeing the presentation. It is so rich in action that it could easily be civen in the movies. In such case, of course the literary quality which is uncom- monly good, would be lost. (Hougnton- Mifflin.) —— EEE Es CURRENT EVENTS IN THE PERSUASIVE PEGGY. HE “Persuasive Peggy” of Mara- gz vine Thompson’s story might have been called Persistent Peggy or Resourceful Peggy. She ,gained her. ends quite as often by persistence and resourcefulness as by persuasiveness. Sometimes she used all three. This Peggy had just been married to Big Ed Trowbridge, wealthy young farm- cr, who was tolerably ‘‘sot’’ and intol- erably bent upon having his:own way. The job cut out for Peggy was to have her own way when her way conflicted with his way. How she did it, under a variety of circumstances, is entertain- ingly told in the story in spite of the idealized picture of life on the farm Which it presents and the unreality of some of the incidents, such as the hus- bandless honeymoon and the later im- prisonment of the husband in a cistern. And a farmer and his wife, with a fam- ily owing up around them, are mot addicted to the “lovey dovey” sort of talk which is accredited to the farmer and farmer's wife of this story. But it is entertaining, anyway, and everything comes out all right, with the husband giving up his devotion to the things that are and joining his persist- ent wife in making things over as they ought to be.

As brilliantly beautiful as when she won Gabriella’s husband away from her, she meets Gabriella, near the close of the story, with the suggestion that “there isn’t any reason why we shouldn’t be friends.’”’ Gabriella’s re- sponse is, “It isn’t what you did to me, Florrie, it’s what you are, that I can’t forgive.”’ The minor portrayals are done with the same care and skill as the chief fig- ures, and the reader cannot help lov- ing Gabriella’s pugnacious little gon, or sympathizing, more than Gabriella at closer range sympathized, with her brother-in-law, Charley Gracey, who was driven, by his wife's very virtues, first to drink and then to support of the cause of prohibition.

He ‘Sees men as “clay pieces that the moods of God kindle into life.” His view of God appears to be that it is a sort of wandering, whimsical force, now seizing us in one way, now in another, and _cempelling us to act in the various unac- cue*table ways that make life humorous or tragic. It is a sad and fearful pic- ture, only relieved by the whole-hearted way in which the author accepts life, lived in the simple, kindly way, as worth while. One gathers, too, that what he is attacking, in the main, is “the olf view of God as a fierce, awful, revengeful being, the anthropomorphic monster of the ancients, whom the coming of Jesus was destined to de- throne, but who is even now the ideal of a large part of the world, as witness the devotion of nations to the war idol. 4 Our jhappiness lies in destroying this _ monster and just turning to the simple _ joy of life.

N “Clipped Wings’’ Rupert Hughes performs the double task of telling an interesting story of the stage and at the same time preaching a sermon for the soul-independence‘of women. By the way, that seems to be the latest wrinkle of our fiction writer—this de- manding in stentorian tones ‘“‘to let that woman be” to work out her own des- tiny regardless of the twins and hubby. Hughes’ story deals with an actress who has married a safe manufacturer who is incidentally a safe husband. The wife, who has been a star, wants to go back to the stage, but is too proud to let her husband know it and so she “eats out her soul’? in silence. This business of eating one’s soul is getting to be a regular meal in some of the best sellers. At any rate, friends dis- cover her famished plight and her hus- band is persuaded to let her cross over footlights again. The sermon part of the book is not There is a hateful ki particularly striking, but the stage part which he condemns. ab tint is. Hughes has the gift of snappy, in- ity of all the moods of greed, of getting teresting. dialogue and scene painting on at the expense of our fellows, “our that makes his writing vivid and alive. immortal baseness,” to which we cling He has written a few plays himself and as if it were our very being. To this knows something about the stage. That immortality Jesus called us to aie, and something he can describe in a way that Himself died to it, as : makes you think you, too, have been on the stage. Hughes is a good writer, but should not be approached with great seriousness. (Harper’s.) say, there are many evidences that war is a dying institution.

In an effort to make his big character stand out against the background of the masses, the author has lost his grip on the real- ities and endowed his lay figure with a wealth of virtues tha: do not exist, could not exist and should not exist. A character as perfect as the Rev, Mr. Hampstead has no business on earth shaming the rest of the world by con- tract. He belongs wtih the angels—no, with the archangels. The story, Mr. Macfarlane tells, is vivid and interest compelling in the main. John Hampstead, a stenographer in a railroad office, becomes an actor, later a book agent and finally a minister.

JONES ANNOUNCES RULES One Word, “Work!” Sums Up All Spring Training Instruc- tions of Browns’ Manager. Chief Bender has returned to the bic league tepee. More than that, he has gone back to Philadelphia. The famots Indian twirler who only a few years ase helped to win pennants and world’s series for the Athletics, accepted tuc terms offered by Pat Moran, . manager of the Phillies and will sign a three-year contract in time to go south for sprit; training. . The only thing lacking is the ratifi- cation of the deal by the president of the club, and Baker expected to sei it with the stamp of his approval today. The Red Man’s full name is Charile- Albert Bender, and he is a full-bloode+) Chippewa. He was born at Brainerd, Minn., on May 6, 1883 The same town rroduced Bullet Joe Bush. Bender worked for the Baltimore Fes part of last season, but failed to please. His work was erratic and he was let go.. A suit on his contract followed. * Since that time it is said that Charlev Dooin, now of the Giants, has been working on Bender tiying to line him up for the McGraw machine this year. - Bender preferred Moran and Philadel- phia, where he is known and has many friends. Several baseball .men, among “them Fielder Jones, have been quoted as say- ing that Bender had lots of good base- ball left in his twirling wing, if handles properly. Bender's last year with the Athletics, 1914, he led the American League pitch- ers in percentage. having won 17 at.! lost 3, with an average earned run mark of 2.26 against him. Browns’ Training Rules: Work! Fielder Jones took out time yester- day to think up a set of training camp rules. After long deliberation he an- nounced that his rules for the Palestine camp could be capsulized in one word, to wit: ‘“‘Work.”’ “That's the extent of our rules fc: the Palestine junket,” said the Brow. manager *‘All*I want the boys to .lv is work. If they do that conscientiou.- y there’ll be no need for other laws. Their conduct off the field will regu- late itself according to the amount ef licks they put in on the diamond. ‘We will have morning and afte:- noon practice from the very start. Thes sessions won't necessarily be long buc they will be arduous for those whw want to remain with the team. Concen- trated effort for a short spell is worth more than frivolous dallying for a week. We will work hard and fast while we're in camp.”’ ‘ Jones continues to dodge the officiul announcement ef the personnel of lii- squad although he threatens to haive the chosen iew early next week ii Branch Rickey has dis of the ex- cess baggage by that time.
