The statement follows: “Southeast of Ypres, on the canal, the British broke into the positions tak- en trom them on the I4th of February, and even penetrated over a small front into what were previously our forward trenches. They were immediately driven out of these, but still occupied some parts of the bastion. “South of the cunai, at La Bassece, lively fighting devéloped at close quar- ‘ters before our front in conjunction - with enemy mine explosions. “Tn the Champagne the activity of the enémy’s artillery increased in places un- til it became heavy. In Bolante wood, northeast of La Chalde in the Argonne, a téntative attack by the I'rench Was re- pulsed easily. “On the heights cast of the Meuse, after heavy artillery preparations, we cleared the village of Douaumont of the enemy and pushed our lineout to the west and south of the village, as well as of the armored fort, to more ‘ favorable positions. More than 1000 pris- }oners and some heavy guns were ' brought in. “Our airmen dropped bombs in the vicinity of Fort Verdun. On the east of Dovai Lieut. Immelmann shot down his ninth enemy aeroplane, a British bi- plane. Of its two occupants one was dead and the other serfously wounded.” ' GERMANS BEATEN IN ATTACK ON VAUX Fierce Fighting Continues in Village of Douaumont, Which Is Entered by Attackers. Bv <Aegsoctated Press. ' PARIS,*March 3.—Bombardments and attacks on the part of German troops continued all yesterday evening in the _ vegion to the north of Verdun, accord- ing to announcement made ty the War Office this afternoon. This fighting was conducted with redoubled violence. Near Douaumont several fruitless en- deavors on the part of the Germans are said to have been repulsed, with crue! losses for them. Nevertheless, the Ger- mans succeeded in reaching the village of Dovaumont, where the fighting con- tinues with ferocity. The village of Vaux, a short distance southeast of Dovaumont, also was attacked by the Germans, but these advances were checked by the French fire and the Ger- mans were compelled to retire, leaving a great number of dead, says the state- ' ment. - The bombardment continued wit ' great intensity yesterday evening and last night in the Woevre district. but French forces are said to have held the Germans in check by their curtain of ' fire. The artillery of the Germans has been active in the vicinity of Malan- court and near Haucourt. The text of the statment issued by the French War Office this afternoon, _. reads as follows: \“In the region to the north of Ver- dun, the bombardment and the attacks of the enemy were continued al! last evening with redoubled violence.

BELLEVILLE SCHOOL CHILDREN AVERSE TO STUDYING GERMAN Classes Show Steady Decrease and Children Are Taken Faom Scveral Rooms to Fill Them. The difficulty of inducing Belleville children of German parentage to study German in the high and gram- mar sc*ools is increasing, according to George H. Busick, Superintendent of Schools. Busick said in his report that in many cases in the ~rammar schools the Ger- man classes had become so small that it was necessary to take children from different rooms to fill them. He attrib- utes the distaste of the chiidren for German to the fact chat, as they are the fou: h and fifth generation removed from Teutonic immigrants, their inter- ests are American and not German. In some grades, having as high as 42 pu- pils, only five or six are willing to be taught Ger nan. Of the 207 pupils in the high school only 59 study German, while 60 study Latin. Last year the enrollment was 3C15 and the number taking German was 1542. So far this year the enrollment jis 2969 and the number taking German ‘1s 1230. .

W. Kolkschneider, aent and treasurer of the Schorr-Kolk Henry vice presi- schneider Brewing Co. and president of the Taxpayers’ Protective Association who has fived in wouis nearly 4 years, renounced his alleglence to Kai- ser Wilhelm in Judge Dyer’s court to- day and took out his final citizenship papers. The Misses Jane R. Lytle and Cath- erine S. Lytle, with their father, Thont- as 8S. Lytie of 6331 Westminster place. also took the oath of allegiance. They came from England seven years ag» At that time the young women were o‘% legal age and. under the law they must be naturalized to acquire’ citizenship here. The examination of applicants took on a humorous turn while Hyman Il‘rank of 410% Victor street. a Russian, was being examined by M. R. Bevington, n¢eturalization attorney. *“‘Who is Governor of Missouri?’’ Bevington. “Sherman,” replied Frank. Judge Gets Mixed. “No, you’re wrong there,’ said Judge Dyer. ‘Sherman is Vice President of the United States.’’ Ervine Mitchell, Clerk of the Court, leaned over toward the Judge and sai.- ‘Your honor, Marshall is the Vice Presl- dent.”’ “That's one on me,” said Judge Dyer, “It’s my mistake.”’ Mr. Sherman has been dead three years. l‘urther on in the examination Beving- ton asked: ‘‘Who makes ihe laws for St. Louis?’ Frank hesitated and seemed unable to answer. Judge Dyer said to him: “Doesn't the City Council make the laws?’’ Again Clerk Mitchell came to the res- cuc. “It’s the Board of Aldermen, Your Honor,”’ he said. “Yes, so it is,’’ had forgotten.”’ In reply to a question oy Bevington. Frank said he believed in anarchy, but when interrogated by Judge Dyer he said he had misunderstood the ques- tion and believed anarchists should be run out of the country. “Well, he looks like a good-natured fellow. I'll give him his papers,’ said Judge Dyer. And Frank then and there became a citizen. Here Siuce 1871. In granting citizenship to Kolkschnei- der, Judge Dyer made no comment. IKKoikschneider took out his first papers Oct. 21, 1910. He has been a voter since October, 1911. He came to the United States Jan. 17, 1871. After the Misses Lytle had taken the oath of allegiance Judge Dyer said: “Tam glad to welcome you as citizens and I hope you will soon be clothed with the same privileges as all these men you see around you.” Ninety-eight applicants for citizenship were in the courtroom. I am pleased tc see so large a gathering here,’ said Judge Dyer. “I only hope you are al) right sort of men to be citizens of the United States. It is becoming a serious question how far Congress will go in making it possible that men who are not the right sort may become citizens.” Eight Applicant, Rejected. Of the 98 applicants 79 were admitted to citizenship, eight were rejected and 1l cases were continued. Mortka Bronstein of 1606 Franklin ave- nu admitted he had assumed the first name, “Max,” since taking out his first papers. He considered it more Ameri- can, he said. Judge Dyer rejected him, on the ground that the change of name would cause confusion in identifying Bronstein. Zeuray Barac of 2315 Franklin avenue also was rejected. His only character witness was George Lang, a saloon keeper at T'wenty-second’ street and Franklin avenue. Lang said all he knew of Barac was what he saw of him when he visited the saloon. “We don't want that kind of citizens,”’ said Judge Dyer. Luciana Parusella of 482] Fvyler ave- nue told the Judge Congress meets a Jefferson City and the Legislature meeta at Koeln. Parusella lives in Collector Koeln's ward. He was rejected. ~- WIFE BURNS FARMER'S $2650 DECATUR, Til., March 3.—Noah Lundy, a farmer living near Arcola, had hidden $2650 in currency in a mail order company’s catalogue, and when he was away from home yesterday his wife burned the book with other waste St. asked said Judze Dyer. “I TWO-DAY SESSION DELEGATES FROM OU CITIES ATTEND DEFENSE MEETING There Are 250 Visitors Including the Mayors and Other Muni- cipal Representatives.

The National Defense Conference of mayors, and other municipal rep- resentatives, began a two-days ses- sion at the Planters Hotel this morn- ing, with about 260 delegates present from 80 cities. Mayor Kiel, as permanent chair- man, introduced the Rev. Gustave Stearns of Milwaukee, who offered prayer. “May the men of America never fear to fight for the principles for which this nation stands,’ was one of the minister’s expressions.

Mrs. Kiel, as chairman of the women’s reception committee, collected the vis- iting women in automobiles, and took them to the Planters for the opening session. These guests were iater taken to luncheon at the Woman's Club. At the same time, the men were guests of the Business Men's League at tuneheon at the Jefferson. Mrs. Kiel was aided in receiving by Mrs. Frank V. Hamar, Mrs. C. M. Tal- bert, Mrs. John Trigg Moss, Mrs. Philip N. Moore and Miss Charlotte Rumbold. Some of the guests were Mrs. Van Rensselaer of New York, Mrs. Lindon W. Bates, chairman of the woman’s section of the movement for national preparedness, and Mrs. A. J. George of Brogkline, Mass. Mayog John Purroy Mitchel of New York ade the chief address at the morning session. LIle followed his set speech, which appears in another col- umn of the Post-Dispatch. He was en- thusiastically applauded when he spoke of the need of patriotism in Congress, and when he asserted that the patriotic spirit had been “conspicuously foreign to that distinguished body in the past 18 months.”” He was also applauded when he spoke of the need of a navy equal to that of any nation and when he advocated’ universal male mili- tary training, under complete Federal control, “‘not as an abstract principle, but aS a measure of self-preservation.”’ Mayor Kiel Chairman. The committee on permanent organi- zation selected Mayor Kiel for pe-- manent chairman of the conference. and Gordon Ireland, a New York at- torney, for permanent secretary. Henry L. West of New York, execu- tive secretary of the National Security League, spoke on the general topic of preparedness. He said that it was im- rortant to the country that every Amer- ican should have protection. “When an American is attecked,” he said, ‘‘there shculd be a hand raised, ‘Take heed, he is an American.’ We can’t delude ourselves i.:o the belief that this is the last war. When Alex- ander conquered the world there were many who said there never would be another war Mrs. Philip N. Moore, president of the Nationa] Council of Women and repre- senting 33 national organizations with a membership of 7,000,000 women, said: ‘The women of America are willing to sacrifice themselves for their country. They are willing to give their services, and the lives of those they love best, if necessary, in its defense. “We know that back of Germany’s great military power there was an eco- nomic preparedness. We are willing to aid in this.’ Eleven Sections Represented, Mayor Kiel, at the suggestion of the Committee on Permanent Organization, appointed a Committee on Resolutions consisting of 11 men, representing the 11 sections which first took an active interest in the conference. ‘ Several delegates from Ohio and other states got the floor and complained that they were not represented on this com- mittee. A motion was made by a man from Indiana that his State have rep- resentation, and that the committee bea enlarged to 13 members, to represent the original 15 states. “Does Indiana wish to stand as one of the original 13 states?” Mayor Wood- ward of Atlanta inquired. This ended the efforts to enlarge the Committee on Resolutions, and its membership stands: Continued on Page 8, Column 7. Republican Leader Supporting President in Lower House GERMANY LONG REFUSED TO BELIEVE U. S$. WAS SERIOUS President: Told Congressional Leaders That by Armed Ship Agitation They Threatened to Further Weaken His Hand. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, March 3.—President Wilson's position on the international | situation, as revealed further today, was that he had told congressional leaders it was months after the resignation of former Secretary Bryan before the Unit. ed States Government could convince Germany that this nation was in, ear- nest in its position on submarine war- fare. The President is understood to have mentioned this fact to show his belief: that action by Congress warning Ameri- cans off armed ships would further weaken the position of the United States abroad. He is understood to have told the leaders that charges that he wante1 to get the United States into war wer: entirely disproved by his attitude dur- ing the last two years. He endured jeers and ridicule, he said, because. of his efforts to maintain peace. He 18 understood to have declared that he always had been willing to do anything except sacrifice honor in order to main- tain the United States at peace Where Course Would Change. At the same time, the President de- clared. he did not see how the United States could do anything but sever dip lomatic relations with any nation which killed Americans in violation of inter- national law. While both Secretary Lansing and Count von Bernstorff, the German Anm- bassador, have flatly declined to com- ment upon the statements regarding the possibility of war attributed to Presi- dent Wilson by Senator Gore, and later denied by the White House, it was learned today that mention of the re- sult of a break of diplomatic relations had been discussed quite casually an.l informally by the Secretary and the Am bassador late in January of this year. According to authoritative informa- tion, the discussion came at a time wher. Secretary Lansing informed the Ambas- sador exactly what kind of a communi- cation from Germany would settle the Lusitania case in a manner satisfactory to the United States. They agreed that the Ambassador should submit the doc- ument to his Government and see what changes it would suggest, which the Ambassador did. At the same time, quite informally, he is understood to have asked the Secretary what he thought would be the ultimate resuk should Germany fall to meet the re- quirements of. the United States. Secretary Lansing, it is said, told the Ambassador that in event of a complete disagreement on the subject, the United States might be obliged. to break off diplomatic relations. The Ambassador is reliably represented as having replied that he hoped that nothing of the kind ever would occur, The Ambassador pointed out that with diplomatic relations severed there would be no agency by which the enthusiasm of naval commanders could be held in check, and that some circumstance was almost certain to occur to lead to hos- tilities. The Ambassador also is repre- sented as having pointed out that the modifications since the beginning of the war in the conduct of submarine war- fare had been made solely on account of regard for the wishes of the United States. FRENCH PRESIDENT VISITS VERDUN WITH GEN, JOFFRE Compliments Troops on Their Brav- ery: Men Who Destroyed Zeppelin Presented With Watches. PARIS, March 3.—President Poincare, on Tuesday visited Revigny, a town 9 miles northwest of Bar le Duc, im order to personally compliment and to present watches to the officer and the men of the armed motor car, who on Feb. 20 destroyed by gunfire the Zep- pelin LZ-77. The President then went to Verdun and with Gen. Joffre and Gen. Petain inspected the lines in the region of the French fortress. After congratulating the troops on their bravery, in the re- cent fighting the President returned to Paris. President Poincare attended the Cab- inet Council Thursday while Gen.

After the vote there was a long dis cussion of the morning’s action, some Republican Senators holding that the vote had decided nothing and that the situation was more clouded than ever Senator Lodge, Republican, however, said that in tabling a substitute reso- lution by Senator McCumber along with the others the Senate had gone on rec- ord as opposed to a direct warning to Americans and against any interfer- ence with executive authority. Senator Jones, Republican, said the vote had decided nothing. Senator Boral assailed the President for his interfer- ence with the Senate, and Senator Clarke, Democrat, of Arkansas, said the official American view in the re- cent foreign negotiations was not the view of the people. Senator Sherman said the President’s course was iead ing toward the issue of peace or war. Senators Reed and Lewis defended the President. It was said at the White House that the result in the Senate was satisfac- tory and met the wishes of President Wilson. It was added that attention would now be concentrated on the sit- uation in the House. Senator Gore, himself, voted to table his resolution.

When the Senate assembled prompt- ly at 11 o'clock, virtually all the ad- ministration Senators were in their seats waiting for the usual round of morning business to be passed over so Senator Stone could make the agreed motion to table the Gore res- olution. To hurry the procedure it was agreed to dispense with reading the Journal, but the usual grist of me- morials and petitions was presented.

It was explained then that Senator James had moved to lay not only the Gore warning resolution, but also the so-called corrected resolution on the table. It was necessary then for Sen- ators to express themselves as to warn- ing and on the question of killing of an American on an unwarned merchant- man as a cause for a war, in one vote. For that reason, Senator Gore voted to table because he did not favor his own substitute, and had introduced it merely to get an expression of the Senate on that issue. Senator McCumber later reintroduced substantially the same _ resolution he had offered as a substitute for the Gore resolution. The McCumber resolution would go to the calendar. Several Senators explained that the double form of the question was re- spensible for the character of the vote as few Senators wanted to vote regard- ing a cause for war. ‘Reed Opposes the Gore Resolution; Q Nothing Decided, Declares Jones Immediately after the vote in the enate, Senator Reed, Democrat, read a statement saying he felt it was highly important that the impression im Germany that the country and Con- _ gress were not behind the President should be removed and that there-| fore he was opposed to the Gore res- olution, ” “Tt is of the highest importance,” “that all the world under- Tights of the American Government or the American citizen, our great people stand as a unit, and it should be understood that they will uphold, sustain and defend those rights if necessary to the last breath.” In connection with his statement, Senator Reed assailed the sensational discussion in the Senate yesterday.

I ) national abandonment and hu- ; ‘ rious resolutions when the roll call had I am not? BY STERLING E. EDMUNDS, Lecturer on International Law, Louis University Law School. The remarkable letter of President Wilson to Congressman Pou, asking in effect for an early vote of Congress which will confirm to the world the support of his foreign policies by that body, might have met with a very un- certain reception in some of the earlier Congresses of the United States, To judge by precedents it might even have precipitated a reply*from Congress that the President is not charged under the Constitution, with exclusive authority in the matter of foreign policies, and that a very large discretion is left with Con- gress in the matter. The Constitution of the United States appears nowhere definitely to confide our foreign relations either in the Pres- ident or in Congress, although it is cus- tomary for the executive head of gov- ernments to represent the nation. From the power of Congress to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, to raise and support armies, and the specific right of the Senate to advise and consent in the making of treaties and the appointment of Ambassadors, quite a large authority has been as- sumed by Congress over foreign af- fairs in times past. | The Constitution confers upon the President no direct or exclusive author- ity in the matter of foreign relations, though by far the largest share must necessarily inhere in him as repre- senting the executive power of the Gov- ernment, Policies Originated by Congress. As early as 1811, however, the Con- gress undertook to originate a foreign policy which may be considered as fur- nishing the foundation for the later Monroe Doctrine. It was embodied in the following resolution: ‘Taking into view the present state of the world, the peculiar situation of Spain and of her American prov- inces and the ultimate relations of the territory eastward of the River Perdido adjsining the United States, to their security and tranquillity; therefore, — Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled, That the United States cannot see with in- difference any part of the Spanish provinces adjoining the said states eastward of the River Perdido pass from the hands of Spain into those of any other foreign Power.” In April, 1864, during the French intervention in Mexico, the House originated and, with the Senate, passed the following resolution: “Resolved by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled, That the Congress of the United States are ynwilling by silence to leave the nations of the world under the impression that they are indiffer- ent spectators to the deplorable events now transpiring in the repub- lic of Mexico; and they therefore think fit to declare that it does not accord with the policy of the United States to acknowledge a monarchial government erected on the ruins of any republican government in Amer- ica under the auspices of any foreign Power.’’ President Lincoln saw fit to make a diplomatic explanation of this resolution St. Powers of Congress: in Our International Affairs President Without Sole Author | to the French Government, which Con- gress considered in derogation of its dignity; whereupon it adopted the fol- lowing sweeping resolution: “Resolved, That Congress has a constitutional right to an authorita- tive voice in declaring and prescrib- ing the foreign policy of the United States as well in the recognition of new powers as in other matters; and it is the constitutional duty of the President to respect that policy not less in diplomatic negotiation than in the use of the national forces when authorized by law.” Here will be seen a positive and un- equivocal claim by Congress to the right to declare and prescribe a foreign policy, Only Instance of Kind. _ The Congress had never before, nor has it since put forth a claim of right to exercise powers of this magnitude in foreign affairs, for this is tantamount to declaring itself equal with the Pres- ident in that function of gpvernment. Yet Congress has constantly adhered to the position that it can initiate action in that sphere, and in the majority of instances whero governmental action threatened to involve the consequences of war, Congress, rather than the Prés- ident, has spoken. A recent instance is the resolution originating in the House of Representa- tives for intervention in Cuba prelim- mary to the war with Spain. During the early struggles of South American countries to free themselves from Spain, it was the uniform practice of Congress to extend recognition and telicitations upon their attainment of the position of independent states. And they did not hesitate to make it plain to President Jackson and President Grant that their powers in International af- fairs ‘were not less wide than those of the chief executive. The House of Representatives was criginally conceived to have very little, if any, authority in this field, but by reason of its constitutional right tw originate appropriation bills it became a decisive factor in such foreign dealings as required appropriations. From: thie power it has gradually assumed posses- sion of importance hardly less than that of the Senate itself. President Wilson’s Attitude. In contradiction to this previously as- serted attitude of Congress, President Wilson’s letter appears to be premised upon the idea that the executive author- ity in foreign affairs is exclusive, since he says that: “The matter is of so grave importance and lies so clearly within the field of executive initiative that I venture to hope that your committee will not think I am taking unwarranted liberty in making this suggestion as to the busi- ness of the House and I very earnestiy commend it to their immediate consid- eration.” There may be little doubt in the prac- tical wisdom of confiding foreign inter- course generally to a single person, rather than to a multitude represented in Congress, but our history reveals nevertheless that Congress has assume] very wide discretion in initiating as weil as in controlling the actual course of those relations. Inasmuch as the power to declare war is vested in Congress alone, it must follow that Congress must have a controlling voice in any govern- mental action likely to call forth the use of that power. miliation. There is no escape from the end of the Way he is traveling. The ac- tion of this Senate today may be par- liamentary. It may be justified by the exigencies of the situation, but it smacks so strongly of cowardice, evasion and shirking of responsibility that I am justified In applying to it these critical words.”’ Senator Lewis, defending the action of the majority, said war with Spain might have been averted had a siivilar action been taken by Congress in 1898. ‘Had House resolutions seeking to in- trench on the privileges and duties of the chief magistrate been treated as this one today there would have been no conflict with Spain,” he said. ‘The unnecessary, vituperative, vindictive, malicious and vicious debate brought on the war.” While the Senate was voting House leaders were working. There was no doubt that the administration victory in the Senate was expected to solidify the sentiment in the House and the leaders looked for some favorable de- velopments during the day. President Wilson, after he had con- ferred with Acting. Chairman Pou of the Rules Committee, determined to have a vote in the House, even if a special rule containing a special resolution were required to get it. Owen Sees the President. Senator Owen, colleague of Senator Gore, who amazed the Senate with 4 report that Presiderit Wilson had said the entrance of the United States into the European war might render a serv- ice to civilization, conferred with the President today and said later he had found Senator Gore’s account entirely without foundation. Senator Owen went to the White House at the request cf eeveral other Senators to learn the ex- act status of the international situa- tion. He said after his conference that, while the international situation was grave, it was not nearly as bad as pic- tured- by Senator Gore in the Sena‘tv yesterday. Acting Chairman Pou of the House Rules Committee saw the President and told him a victory for his position way sure in the House. Pou declared that he atill thought the Foreign Affaire Committee would reach an agreement to get the question to the floor. It was indicated the administration leaders were laying careful plans for bringing the question up in the House, but Pou refused to discuss them. Administration officials received word early today that the vote in the House probably would come on the McLemore resolution which the House Foreign Af- fairs Committee would report adversely. It was predicted that the anti-admin- j stration forces would marshal between 50 and 75 votes in the House and that a vote might be reached tomorrow. The decision to seek a showdown in the Senate today was reached late yes- terday after the agitation for a warning resolution had been brought to a dra- matic climax in an historic debate by the declaration of Senator Gore that he had heard a report that the President had told congressional leaders in the conference at the White House last week that a war with Germany might not be “an evil to this republic.’’ Senators Stone and Kern, who had attended the conferences, immediately denied that the President had said any- thing that might be so construed, and the denial was reiterated : a White House statement. When the White House heard what Senator Gore had said, this statement was issued late yesterday’ When the attention of |the White House was called to certain state- ments in Senator Gore’s speech this afternoon, the President authorized an unqualified denial of any utter- ance to which any such meaning could be attached. It was explained on his behalf that the President had told the Congressmen he could not predict what would follow a breaking off of diplomatic relations and had expressed in the most vigorous terms his hope that the United States would not be drawn into war and his determination to continue to bend his every effort to prevent it. It was de- ried that the President said anything to convey the impression that he de+ sired the United States to enter the war tc shorten it or for any other reason, but he reiterated the necessity of up- holding the national honor of the United States at all costs. Effect of Declaration Feared. No attempt was made to minimize the realization of the effect Senator Gore's declaration might. have on the foreign situation at this time, and on all sides 1, was admitted to be probably the most serious turn that has yet been given to the situation. Behind the curtain of dramatic events which shadowed the actual steps in th: President's fight for defeat of the antt- ndministration resolution and repudia- tion of the sentiment spread abroad that a majority of Congress is oppose‘ to his foreign policy, the administra- tion supporters took drastic steps to carry out the President's demand for a record vote. The House Foreign Affairs Committee deliberated most of yesterday on what form a resolution should be take and adjourned to today without action. The President was informed that on a can- veses of the committee. 19 members were McLemore’s resolution against it. There are the committee. Outside of the Democratic ranks the principal development was President Wilson's invitation to Republican Leader Mann to confer with him at the White House. Mann went to the White House at 5 p. in, yesterday and after a conference with the President was silent. It was understood the President following his course of treating the situation as a purely nonpartisan question had sent for the Republican leader to acquaint him with all the details of the com- plex condition of affairs, and probably ask for the support of the Republicans in his determination to stand for the right of American citizens to travel the seas under the guarantees of interna- tional law. Later Mann would not In- dicate what he said to the President or how he would vote on a warning resolution, but it is generally understood a majority of the Republicans would vote against one. After Representative Mann left, the President conferred for an hour with Secretary Lansing over the events in the Senate and their effect on the sit- uation. Conference of administration leaders in the Senate were held as soon as the and nirie were 21 members of had been uttered on the floor. Senator Stone closeted himself to work out a plan for a substitute resolution. Mean- while other Democrats, among them Sen- ators Kern, James, Martin, Swanson, Pomerene, Clarke, Williams, Hughes, Simmons and Overman retired to a com- mittee room. Their first impulse was to discuss the declarations of Senator Gore regarding the reports of President Wil- ers. Deep regret over the utterances was voiced by nearly every Senator present. But this was passed over quickly, and cisive action be taken without further celay. Within less than a hour, the plan for disposing of the issue without debate had been agreed upon. Then a statement of the ‘attitude of Senator Stone and the Republican Senators was sought. Stone’s Plans Are Changed. Senator Stone submitted suggestions for a substitute resolution which the ‘thought might meet with general ap- proval of the Senate. The Republicans who were seen stated frankly that they would vote for no resolution which in any way would serve to embarrass the President or Smack of opposition to hia course in the conduct of foreign affairs. Democrats argued that to submit a substitute necessarily would open che flood gates of oratory again and Sen- ator Stone finaily was prevailed upon to give up his effort. The administration Senators then agreed that a motion to table the Gore resolution should be made as soon as Senator Gore concluded whatever ra- marks he might #«hoose to make in call- ing it up. With this decision reache.. Senators Lodge, Smoot, Curtis and oth- er Republicans were informed of the plan. They gt once agreed to its wis- dom, but thought that some Republic- ans might, upon principle,- object to shutting off debate by voting to table another Senator’s proposal. When they had made a canvass of their colleagues, however, they reported that all but a few had consented to abide by the de- cision. According to administration Senators all the Democrats except Senators Clarke and Robinson of Arkansasg, Hitchcock of Nebraska, Gore of Okla- home, O’Gorman of New York, Varda- man of Mississippi, Underwood of Ala- bama, and Overman of North Carolina, will uphold the President by voting for the motion to table. It was agreed to adopt the same course with reference to the pending resolution by Senator Jones of Washing- ton, expressing the sense of the Senate that no ultimatum be sent to a foreign Power without the consent of the Sen- ate, should the Washington Senator ca!! it up. Flood Issues Statement. Chairman Flood, who was one of the White House conferes on the night the President was supposed to have made statements attributed to him by Sena- tor Gore, issued this statement: “The President never has said any- thing in my presence that could be con- strued as justifying the report by Sen- ator Gore that war would not be unwel- come to the President. On the contrary, the President has said he was working night and day to keep the country out of war. Recently several members of the House asked me if the Presidert said the same thing to Senator Gore attributed to him today, and I an- swered no, flatly.’ While the Senate debated yesterday there came news to the State Depart- ment from Berlin which convinced of- ficlals that the dissension in Congress was being used deliberately to weaken the President’s hand in Germany. Confidential advices state that reporta circulated in the German capital as taving come from Washington, declared that Congress stood five to one againat the President. — Ship Memorandum Left Berlin Feb. 14.

F RIDAY EVENING, } [ARCH 3, 1916. ~ HATCEL USHER AND VANDERBILT TALK ON DEFEND U. S. to Be Tested at End of the European War, New York Mayor Says. CONGRESS IS PRODDED Millionaire Says Navy Officers Should Be Allowed Complete Freedom of Speech. The three principal speecnes at the first day’s session of the Mayors’ con- on national defense, at the Pianters Hotel, were made by John Purroy Mitchel, Mayor of New York City; Cornelius Vanderbilt, chairman of New York City’s committee of 1000 for national defense, and by Roland G Usher, professor of history at Washing- and author of ‘Pan- ference ton University Germanism.’ Mayor Mitchel spoke in the morning on “General and Industrial Prepare1- ness.” In the afternoon Vanderbilt spoke on ‘“‘The Navy Our First Line of Defense” and Prof. Usher on “European View of the Monroe Doctrine.” Democracy on Trial, Mayor Mitchel Declares. Mayor Mitchel declared that democra- cy was on Trial in the Western Hemis- phere and that the American Congress must meet the test by establishing this year a complete and adequate national defense. At the close of the European war, Mayor Mitchel said, our newly estab- lished trade relations, our expanded commerce and our vast accumulated wealth will invite envy, rivalry, imter- ference and attack. If Congress would avoid the real and Imninent hazard of complete national dis- aster, Mayor Mitchel said, it must adopt universal obligatory male military train- ing under Federal authority. Mayor Mitchel urged the conference to. “take definite action looking to the effective organization of popular opin- ion in home districts and the transla- tion of that organized opinion into im- mediate and direct pressure upon Con- gress.” “The National Congress,” he sa‘d, “ig a sensitive body, sensitive to pub- lic opinion, most sensitive to public opinion that means votes in the home district. This convention represents the people of cities. Its voice is the most representative expression of American opinion yet had upon this great question. Its delegates have the opportunity to light, in every com- munity of our broad land, a fire of informed and intelligent public sen- timent that will warm our Congress into a glow of patriotic fervor and endeavor which has been conspicu- ously foreign to that distinguished body during the past precious 18 months.” During these months, Mayor Mitch- el declared, the American people have been “jarred” into a recognition that their country cannot longer be a detached nation, standing aloof from the international affairs of other peoples, and have come to know that the United States “must take her place among the nations of the world, on equal footing, or suffer the im- pairment of her every interest at home ag well as in foreign markets.” The preparedness of Europear nations at the beginning of ghe war, Mayor Mitchel asserted, ta@ght the United States that its condition was ‘‘at once precarious and humiliating.”’ “When, later, the lessons of prepared- ness and of international cold-blooded gelfishness were daily and hourly being driven home to the world, we saw our Congress utterly supine, apparently pre- pared to gamble this nation’s security and future on the accident of chance,” he said, ‘‘some of us conceived that it was the duty of local governments to gatimulate public opinion within their own jurisdiction, and to brings Rusy Bee Rakery Special.

JONMN PURROYM ee ier Peer BO » __- -— VIEWS PROMI OF MAYORS AND NENT MEN AT MEETING HERE ON PREPAREDNESS Majority Favor Federalization of National Guard Larger Army anda Bigger Navy— Would Speed Up Congress. Mayors of large cities and other prominent persons here for the National Lefense Conference of Mayors, were in- tervied by Post-Dispatch reporters to- day to get definitely their ideas of pre- paredness, especially regarding the na- tional guard and its federalization. Their views are as follows: Cornelius aVnderbilt: Federalize the national guard, have it under the direc- tion of the national Government, but lend it to the states in times of peace. Hiave all branches of the @@rvice repre- sented, as the infantry, cavalry, artil- lery, ammunition § trains, ambulance corps, signal corps, etc. In New York we even go so far as to Rave a coast guard corps in our national guard. It would be a good thing if the youth of the country, from 16 to 23 vears old, could be given some form of military training. Martin W. Littleton, former New York Congressman: I believeina navy equal to that of any other power, s0 that our future battles, if any, may be fought on the sea, without our coun- try being invaded. However, I also believe in the federalization of the na- tional guard, and would approve of some form of service by which all the youth of the country could be given some military training. James G. Woodward, Mayor of At- lanta: I believe in the greatest navy in the world, one which will be able to save our country from invasion. I do not believe in the continental army plan, or universal service. I am firmly opposed to the federalization of the n1- tional guard. Let each state continue to have some state’s rights—there is too great a tendency toward a strong cen- tralization of our ‘Government today. Each state can take proper care of its guard. Let us have a standing army of not over 140,000 men, and several hun- dred thousand guardsmen, and with a big navy we will be safe. History tel!s of many armies which have turned against their own country—but never an instance of a navy doing such—vou can't bring battleships up on dry land. Mitchel for Universal Service. John Purroy Mitchel, Mayor of New York: I havea very definite idea as to the number of soldiers the United States shouid have and have immediate- ly—the United States should have just as many trained soldiers as there are males in the country between the ages of 17 and 23 years. This should be a constantly active force and after its development the United States should have a reserve army that would include every male between the ages of 23 and o> years. Il intend to urge the advigability ol! this plan upon the Mayors present at this conference. If the Mayors should agree as to the advisudility ef such a Hum: seperti , awe a plan and make their influence felt with ‘ongress the new army could come into vpeing this summer in camps through- out the country and the question of preparedness as regards a land force would be settled. This force should be completely fed- eralized and at all times under control of a general staff. The soldiers should draw pay for the two weeks or what- ever time is spent in camp in summer and for the nights devoted to drill throughout the vear. The training of the men in target practice with rifles, rapid fire guns and cannon should be con- stant the year round in camps located in the interior of the country at points that would be easily accessible from all sections. Should such a general plan be adopted by the nation, I believe other detail could be worked out easily. I would suggest that the number of men in the standing army be fixed by recommenda- tion of the general staff and a plan could be worked out by means of which each state: would still maintain a state guard for service during time of peace within the state borders. But the or- ganization of the regulars and state guard should be identical with the or- ganization of the complete citizen sol- dier force so that if an emergency came there would be no delay in forming one great united body. When the order should come for mobilization every man in the country of army age should know exactly where to report and what personal arrange- ments to make. In our plans for defense we should be careful to see that all great army bases, arsenals, a majority of munition plants and reserve depots be situated well in the interior of the country, so that the fighting power of the country would be unhindered by any sudden raid along the coasts. That is my idea of prepared- ness—the preparedness of every man at all times. Buffalo Mayor for Larger Army. i. P. Fulhrmann, Mayor of Buffalo: “T favor supporting the recommenda- tions of a regular army of something like 170,000 men—I forget the exact fig- ures as originally proposed, and the building up of the state militia to about an equal figure. I believe the national Government rhould be liberal with the states in aid- ing in the upbuilding and support of the militia and that the militia system should be uniform throughout the coun- try, but I am opposed to what is some- times called the federalizing of the militia. While the militia should be at the disposal of the national Government in time of war. I would keep the org@an- ization separate from the regular army in time of peace aay leave the control i ORI, NY as at vested in the several states. is my opinion present the 1S that best thing this convention can do to arrange to throw its entire support to the program of preparedness as outlined by President Wilson and to urge spéed in the carry- ing out of the President's plans. l find there is considerable difference of opinion among the Mayors over the question of a federalized militia, but this is no time to quibble over the meaning of a word. There should not be a moment lost in arranging affairs so that this na- tion could put instantly into the field an army of 300,000 well trained. well equipped men. At least one-half of this number, I believe, should be a standing force. Whether the remain- ing force should be under the direct control of the national Government in time of peace is open to debate, but nothing should interfere with the training and equipment of the guard being standardized with that of the regular army, so that all might work as one machine in case of necessity. Such a force, to my mind, would be sufficient to meet the first shock of any unexpected conflict and give time for the creation of a volunteer army of any size needed. The people of Tgxas are strong for preparedness, and they wish to see quick action. James Dahliman, Mayor of Omaha: I beieve that experts should figure a pro rata national guard membership in eacn state, to be officered py graduates of an enlarged West «:oint. I would have the enlistment term of four -e: ‘s, with two months’ field training each summer,under active service regulations. I would have employers pay these men their full salaries while in the field. If the employe is willing to give his life for his employer, the latter sho’ id at least be patriotic enough to hold his job for him while he is in tr.ining, and pay his wages. This would take the payment of the guard off of the Gov- ernment’s shoulders. And, having it this way, each state would still have a military guard for emergency. $30,000,000 IN PRIZE FUND Britain to Distribute Funds to Navy Men After War. LONDON, March 3.—The naval prize fund-derived from the sale of contra- band goods seized by the British navy fand condemned by the prize courts now amounts to over $30,000,000. This fund will be distributed among all men of the navy after the war. 264 Window Lights Broken.

A meeting of the 11 Mayors who signed the cal) for the conference was held last night in Mayor Kiel'’s office to discuss the procedure to be followed at the meetings. Proceedings were delayed by James C. Dahiman, the “cowboy’”’ Mayor of Omaha, who rose excitedly when Mayor Mitchel of New York pro- duced a typewritten copy of suggestions for procedure which he had prepared. Mayor Dahlman insisted that Mayor Mitchel was “trying to put something over.”” te refused to lisien to an ex- planation that the typewritten state- ment contained only suggestions. After several attempts to quiet him, the otis- ers waited until he talked himself out, and then proceeded to business. Mayor Mitchel told those at the meet- ing last night that it was the unanimous opinion of all military and naval ex- perts of recognized standing that any one of the first three European Powers could land forces at 116 places between Maine and the Chesapeake Bay and could take and hold the New England and New York district. He said 90 per cent of the ammunition produced in the United States was mide within 150 miles of New York City, and that a foreign Power could quickly take possessioht of these factories and the rrp would be paralyzed as a fighting at Linx will six ad- forge. He urged that the ammunition plarits should be placed in the Missis- sippl Valley. National League's Position, There was considerable discussion of the relations between the Conference of Mayors and the National Security League. 8. Standwood. Menken of New York, president of the National Se- curity League, said he would oppose on the floor of the conference any attempt of the conference to dod the work of the National Security League, which he said already had expended $100,000 on adver- tfsing. He said he believed in the or- ganizations co-operating and that there was a field for each without them doing the same work. el Oakes Candy Special Fri.-Sat., 17e Lb. Choc, Goodies.

The House bill as finally approved hundred specially bought AW. onderful Purchase calls for an increase of the army to a total peace strength of approximately 700,000 men. This would include 170,000 regulars, 425,000 national guardsmen, and about 100,000 Federal volunteers through extension of a summer training camp idea, The bill retains provision for organi- zation of industrial and technical re- serves behind the fighting lines and au- tnorizes the creation of a board of officers to control an industrial mobili- zation in time of war or imminence of war. It also provides that manufacturers of war materials must give immediate pre- ference to Government orders in war time or when there is danger of war, under heavy penalty for failure to do so. While the minimum strength of the regular army remained at 140,000 a change was made before the final vote to fix the maximum of fighting troops at 170,000 bringing the total authorized strength of the regular force, includ- ing the hospital corps and other non- combatant troops to 190,000. While all members of the committee will sign the bill, they do so under the reservation that they may support upon the floor of the House any amendment they desire. In completing its bill, the House Com- mittee decided not to provide specifical- ly for the construction of a plant to manufacture nitric acid from the air. A general provision authorizing the Gov- ernment to construct a plant for this purpose with water, steam, or other power, was inserted in the measure, however,,and the details will be work- ed out later in an appropriation meas- ure. , mi, K)) . ® ‘tHukriede of Warrent a John C. 7 | ae Pac A Grown ot Wentzville. “Telegraphic re.| REASON CHARGE IN CANADA ‘i \ Snead! / __ ports from Warrenton stated that many \ S| Peat ' 7 Progressives participated in the conyen- » tion. of Untrimmed Hats Sale for Saturday Two Lots— hich was put through the convention. ’ David W.

MORGENTHAU SAYS Ought to Inoculate Ourselves With Sanity and Sobriety, Am- bassador to Turkey Adds. NEW YORK, March 3.—Quarantine the war feyer,’’ said Henry Morgen- thau, Ambagsador to Turkey, now home on leave, in an address yesterday be- fore the Merchants’ Association of New York. “There is one thing I want to bring home to you,’ said Mr. Morgenthau. ‘In this country we take active steps to prevent yellow fever, and other in- fectious diseases, from spreading. We keep them out, but this war fever that is traveling now in Europe is one thing that we are in danger of being infected with. We ought to do the same with the respect to that fever as we have done against other infectious diseases. We ought to inoculate ourselves with the serum of sanity and sobriety.”’ These remarks were made by the Am- bassador at the conclusion of an ad- dress on ‘‘American trade and the Le- vant.”’ There is very little trade in the Le- vant, he said, “because 8 per cent of the people devote their titpe to agricul- ture and this war anda the previous one between the Balkan States and Turkey has upset what little machinery of bus- iness there was. “There is a Chamber of Commerce in Constantinople,’ he said, “but it had not been permitted to meet for fear the people might hatch a revolution or ‘something of that kind.’ ”’ Mr. Morgenthau said the chamber ha‘ a meeting soon after he arrived. It was arranged partly because of his efforts. He said he invited the representatives of several countries and tried to show them ‘that the United States had n» political interests whatsoever in Tur- key. The Turks were pleased with his efforts and asked him to map out a pro- gram by which they might improve their ftrade and industries. “T made a trip through the country,’’ he said, “ang told them what I thought they should do. Then they offered to make me Minister of Commerce and Agriculture. Of course I told them the ambassadorship of the United States was a little more important. ‘Oh,’ they replied, ‘you' can keep that; we don’t object to that.’ ”’ Mr. Morgenthau said one of the Turk- ish colleges gave him a degree, as & reward for his work for them, and an- other college made him an honorary consulting president. THREE MEN ARE ROBBED IN STREETS IN EARLY MORNING One Held Up at Grand and McRee, Another on Lafayette and the Third on Jefferson Avenue.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 3, 1916, Iron Is Greatest of All Strength Builders, Says Doctor A Secret of the Great Endurance and Power of Athletes Make Deli- ete, nary — ‘undown’ Peopk : 200 Per Cent Stronger in Two Weeks’ Time in Many Cases. Most people foolishly seem to think they are going to get renewed health and strength from some. stimulating medicine. secret nostrum or narcotic drug, sald Dr. Saver a speciaiist of New Zork. when. as a matter of fact, real and true strength can only corme from the food you eat. But people often fail to get the strength out of their food be- cause they haver’t enough fron tn their blood to enable it to change food into living matter. From their weakened, nervous condition they know something is wrong. but thev can’t tell what. so they generally commence doctoring for stomach, liver or kidney trouble or :ymp- toms of some other ailment caused by the lack of iron In the blood. This thing may go on for vears, while the patient suffers untold agonv. If you are not strong Or well you owe it to vourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far vou can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after; meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. i have seen dozens of nervous, run-down people who were ail- ing all the while. double their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of all troubles in from ten to fourteen days’ time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. But don’t take the old forms of reduced iron, tron ace- tate or tincture of iron simply to save 4 few cents. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimil- lated like nuxated ‘ron you want it to do you any good. otherwise it may yes. worse than useless. Many an —th- efe or prize fighter has won the day; simply because he knew the secret of | creat strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray. while many another has gone down to inglorious defeat simply for the lack of tron. NOTE—Nuxated Iron recommended above by Dr. Sauer is not a patent medli- cine nor secret remedy, but one which is well Known to druggists and whose iron constituents ts widely prescribed by eminent physicians everywhere. ‘ Unlike the older inorganic iron products, it is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth. make them biack, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary. it is a most potent remedy. in nearly all forms of in- digestion, as well as for nervous, run- down conditions The manufacturers have such great confidence Iron that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable institution if they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron ard increase their strength 200 per cent or over in four weeks’ time provided they have no serious organic trouble. Thev also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten davs’ in this citv by W olff-Wilson Drug time. It iss dispensed Judge & Dolph Drue Co..

BERLIN, via London, March 3.— Some of the extremists of the annexa- tionists appear to have passed be- yond the demand that the empire’s borders be made safe from military and political standpoints when peace is reached. Herr Furmann, national Liberal, speaking in the Prussian Diet yesterday in support of the do- mestic colonization measure, said: “By bringing in the Governments of Courland, Kovno and Suwalki, the price of the land would increase to $750,000,000, and we have no occa- sion to let this fall into the laps of the inhabitants there as a gift. We need along with the assuring of Ger- many’s political might and with the strengthening of our western indus- try new and extended lands for col- ' onization in the east, which we must acquire for necessary extension of our agriculture foundations.” Polish delegates opposed the pro- posed colonization measure, unless it was amended to provide that no col- ! state aid should be | discriminated against because of re- ' onist receiving ligion, descent, language or political activity. the future. The Poles referred to the fact that Field Marshal von Hindenburg and the Governor of Warsaw have pro- hibited real estate transfers in Po- land, which has caused dissatisfac- tion in the districts involved, as the Poles understand that the prohibition will be continued until after peace is restored and fear that the resulting increase in values will be solely to the benefit of the Germans. The delegates of the Centrist party supported the Poles. Minister of Ag- riculture Baron von Schorlemer, however, said the demands of the Poles could not be granted. The Min- ister referred -to.the past assurances of the Prussian Government that the colonization laws would be executed with the fullest regard to the rights of the Poles. The Poles must real- however, he said, that German claims must be protected against any arrangement of colonization from Polish sides. Seventy-eight delegates (members of the Center, Radical, Polish and So- cialist parties) voted for the Polish amendment, while 89 delegates voted against it. The vote showing that there was no quorum, the Diet ad- journed. DYNAMITE 1S REMOVED FROM SHED ON CITY BOUNDARY LINE Explosive Belonging to Cooney Con- struction Co. to Be Kept Some- where in County.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. FRIDAY EV ENING, MARCH 3, 1916. oT. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH ~ test tt, SENATE DEBATE ON ARNING AMERICANS Brnoe ARMED SHIPS - Senators Stone and Gore Differ From Stand Taken by the President, While Senators Lodge, Williams and Others Defend the Course of the Executive—Leaders Review the Foreign Situation and Give Views as to Nation’s Attitude. | WASHINGTON, March 3.—Debate on the armed ship con- _ troversy was precipitated in the Senate yesterday when Senator 4 - Btone moved an adjurnment, in order to take the body out of " recess and open the way for a vote on Senator Gore’s resolution E that it was the sense of Congress that citizens of the United States _ any armed vessel of a belligerent ia a In connection with this motion, Senator Stone made a ex- tended statement of his views on the international situation and - this was followed by a spirited controversy over the points he - Senator Stone said: ' “Mr. President: I take the floor on S the pending bill, but not to discuss it. a I interrupt the progress of the unfin- | ‘shed business to make a brief state- " ment, and then to make a sugegstion ' with respect to what is known as the es: Gore resolution and other resolutions “I desire to state the international , situations, as I understand it respect- e the immediate questions before “is. .A sharp issue has developed be- tween Germany and Great Britain as | to the status of armed merchant ves- Lg Germany contends armed bellig- “werent vessels are, in all essential re- the equivalent’ of auxiliary or c 4 cruisers, and should be treated as war vessels.

Great ' Britain has announced this to be her - policy. That is the issue between _ these two Governments on that ques- ' “Now, where and how does the Gov- | ernment of the United States come into | ‘this controversy? I answer in this way: “What if both Germany and Great Britain phall persist in the course they have _ Feapectively announced, neither yielding + the other, nor yet yielding to the im- portunities of any neutral Government, ‘Sncluding our own, and if Germany ' ghould attack without warning an armed _ merchantman of her enemy and some can citizen or citizens should be 8 ‘Wfured, the question would present itself ‘as to what our attitude and course | ghoula be in the circumstances.

I shall feel pea as a duty to myself, my con- stituency and the country, to discuss this question at lergth in the imme- diate future, with a view to elaborat- ing the reasons upon which my con- victions are predicated. “The President is firmly opposed to the idea embodied in the Gore resolu- tion. He is not only opposed to Con- gress passing a law relating to this sub- ject, but he is opposed to any form of official warning to American citizens to keep off so-called armed merchantfnen. If I could have my way, which I know I cannot, I would take some definite step—a step as far as the Constitution would permit—to save this country from becoming embroiled in this European war through the recklessness of fool- hardy men. “Mr. President, I think this is a fair statement of the situation as it is to- day. To Define Congress Attitude. “The President has written Repre- sentative Pou, and he has stated to me and to others, that the pendency of these resolutions in Congress has been and still is a source of embarrassment to him in conducting diplomatic nego- tiations with the belligerent Powers in- volved respecting the subject. I am sure that is so, and it is regrettable. As you well know, Senators, I have diligently sought to prevent the introduction of any resolutions on this subject and to allay any agitation with regard to it: but the efforts I made, with others in this behalf, have been only partly suc- cessful. Now we are informed by the President that he is solicitous that these resolutions should be disposed of in both houses, and that the attitude of Congress should be more clearly de- fined. “I am in full sympathy with him as to that, and I will co-operate to bring that matter to a head. The difficulty is in arranging a plan that would be ef- fective and of value. I am more than willing to contribute anything within my power in arranging a plan of ac- tion with the sincere purpose of bring- ing the executive and legislative depart- ments into accord. “It may be, and I profoundly hope it is so, that the President, having behind him the support of Congress, may even yet be able to bring Great Britain and Germany to some agreement with this Government which would relieve the present acute situation. I am now puz- zling my brain to frame a resolution a« a supplement for all other pending res- olutions on the subject, and as soon as [ get it into the best form of which 1 am capable I desire to discuss the reso- lution with the Senators on both sides, with the chairman of the House Com- mittee on Foreign Affairs and also, if need be, with others. Need for Congress to Act, ee; dusire to bring the Congress with practical unanimity to the support of the President in the conduct of the dip- lomatic questions involved. Of cours, time is now of the essence of things and prompt action is desirable. My suggestion is this: That the Senat; shall strive with the utmost diligence to dispose of the unfinished business to- day; but whether it succeeds in dispos- ing of that business or not, I shall at the close of today’s business ask the Senate to adjourn until some early howr tomorrow morning, at which time the Gore resolution shall be laid before the Senate. “Mr. President, although it is my earnest desire to co-operate with Sen- ators who coincide with the President’s attitude concerning this whole subject. yet because of the fact I am not tn ac- cord with the President on the main issues, it would be entirely agreeable :o me if any of the Senators should take another course if they s» desire. If the Senate agrees to the sug- gestion I have made I will proceed in my effort to discover a plan to which Wwe may all agree; but if another course should be taken I can only abide. the result. That is all I have to say at this time.’’ “I have listened with profound iIn- terest to what has been said by the Senator from Misbur!,” said Senator Lodge. “I thoroughly appreciate the gravity of the situation to which he has called attention. I agree with him that this is not a party question. 1 also agree that our first duty is to dispose of the precise issue that has been raised by the discussion to which he has referred. “I think the President, hampered, as he tells us in the letter to Repre- sentative Pou, in his diplomatic ne- gotiations, has a right to ask for a vote on the precise proposition in order that he may know whether he can go on with his negotiations with Congress behind him or whether -=-e_-——~ ----- -* indicated ‘“ongress takes the view of the bellig- {an early vote on the precise question | ‘rent power with which he is negoti- | as to whether American citizens can ‘ting: J eS ee the Senate will take on Ne SSHoclianes Children’s Shoes A special exhibit and sale of the we newest Spring effects in Boys’ and Girls’ good, durable, leather Shoes at sur- prisingly low prices.

——-. | a defensive armament, if I am correctly informed.”’ “I did say exactly what he has stated,” Senator Stone interrupted, “but I was not unconscious, of course, that other Powers are involved. 1 said what I did on the theory that the diplomatic situa- tion was ‘being mainly conducted be- tween the two Powers I named and this Government.” “I think the position of the allies who have command of the seas is the same on this question,” Senator Lodge con- tinued. “I am entirely clear in my own mind ag to the law and usages of na- tione in regard to the armed merchant- men and that they cannot be taken out of the class of a peacefu) trader except by demonstration that they are «om- missioned vessels and that they carry an armament greater than that de- scribed at least in the circular of the Secretary of State at the opening of the war, or that they are used for of- rensive purpuses. “If I understand the position of the President as stated by the Senator from Missouri on the question of armed mer- chantmen, and on the rights of neutrals to travel and ship their goods on mer- chantmen armed within the limitations generally imposed with that postition, T am in full accord. I think that neutrals have a right, a right established for centuries, to ship their goods and take passage on belligerent merchantmen whether armed or unarmed, if armed within the limitations I have described. Favors Vote on Issuc. ‘The precise question, as I understand. presented by the President and also by - the Senator trum Missouri, is whether Congress favors passing a resolution warning American ‘citizens to desist from the exercise of an undoubted right. No matter how it has been raised, it has been raised on the precise point embodied in the Gore resolution in the Senate, and {n simiiar resolutions in the Hiouse, and if the President wishes a vote on that precise resolution and on the precise point raised by the resolu- tion I think. he ought to have that vote from Congress. “His position, as I understand it, is that he is interfered with and ham- pered and crippled in his negotiations with foreign Powers by the supposed attitude of Congress on this precise question and which is used against him in the negotiations which he is carrying on by the power with which he is en- dowed, I think under these circum- stances he has the right to know, the question having been raised, what the attitude of Congress is on that question of warning American citizens from the exercise of what they have hitherto al- ways. considered undoubted neutral rights. I do not think that it can be disposed of in any general terms, by any votes of general confidence or any gen- eral resolutions, stating the limitations between the executive in diplomatie ne- gotiations and the executive power. I think we must mect the eerie as it is presented. “The last aishiniatration warned citi- zens of the United States to leave Mex- ico. I have joined in. that criticism my- self and it would be utterly impossible for me to criticise this administration for failure to protect American lives in Mexico despite the warning that has been given and then myself turn round and publish to the world that an Amer- ican who exercised an equal right, to which he is equally entitled, on a bellig- erent merchantman, should not have the protection of his country. I speak only for myself, but I cannot supply two rules to a question like this.’’ Senator Williams Speak Senator Williams of Mississippi, weak from illness, spoke with great deliberation and _ feeling, apologiz- ing for the weakness of his voice. “There are times in the history of all people, all administrations and all parties,” said he, “when men come to the parting of the ways, to un- avoidable conflict, when each must stand as beet he may for that which he thinks to be brave, just and pat- riatic: “That time, I think, has come for you and for me concerning the propo- sition that now faces us.”’ “The time has come, continued Sen- ator Williams, “when the question states itself in this way: ‘Shall I ac- ciaaim America first, or shall I ac- claim “Deutschland ueber Alles.” I have the highest contempt for one who would inject politics in this sit- uation. Politicians looking for a racial vote of some kind to be gained from this are not only poor Ameri- cans, but poor politictans. “From the moment a factional ele- ment participating in the Government of the United States shall implant itn themselves an idea of pleasing a racial element, that moment they will consoli- date against them every other racial element and all that great element of citizens who are just Americans, with- out frill, without politics and without hyphens or anything else. They have a right to be here. “Tha citizenship of this country is derived from every race under the sun. We are not Irish, not Germans, not En- glish, not Latins, not Russians, not French. We are here if we have the right to participate in American Gov- ernment, simply as Americans. “Therefore, American ideals and ev- erything that responds to the noblest in America can be relied upon to push aside any man whose idea of politics consists of pleasing some racial preju- dice. The tnitiative in foreign relations lies with the executive and Congress ought not to attempt to assume the in- itiative. “Tnrough resolutions and in epeecnes and whispers, the chief magistrate has been prodded and nagged and dared. To do what? To surrender the initiative lations, ay the patience of a very patient ma Mons exhausted. Now, he says, ‘Yo ou comfort to for- ; have given them a ir own Government, you tie tet eaeetig it will be a ce and prodded him d up the és Gonme aeiiae entitled to any greater degree of immunity from attack than any other class of warship. He indicat- ed that the position of the United States with relation to defensive armament of merchantmen was that any merchant ship carrying cargo and noncombatants was pre- sumed to be armed defensively until she acted offensively. The United States, it is under- stood, will expect charges that British ships have used defensive armament offensively to be authen- ticated. _— behini me, let’s find it out, and if it is not behind me, let’s find that out. If I’m to be ham-strung just kill me as a negotiator and have done. If I am help- less say so and let me and the people know it. You already have done as much harm ag you could Jo by adopting the resolution. I have pleaded with you not *o go on, and, in spite of all, you have kept it up. Therefore, without evasion, I say now, let’s bring this td an issue. Bring on your war resolutions, and your other resolution and let a mo- tion be made to table them.’ “The President has offered no new doctrine. The proposition of armed merchantmen is a_ principle recog- nized in the war with Spain and in the Civil War. What Germany wants to do, what she wants us to do, is to change international law, and she is trying to make wus a particeps crim-: inis. “The only danger of war today, the only cloud on the herizon, comes from the fact that the politicians have not let him alone and that some of you must seek to create the iIm- pression that the American people are not behind the American Govern- ment, and to your action alone is due the last position taken by the Germans.” Senator Williams described the President’s conduct of Mexican af- fairs as a strong’ man turning from the wrath of an impotent child. In the present situation, he said, he was faced by the menace of a great, self- reliant, important power. Senator Gore defended his resolu- tion, “In my judgment, any American placing Germany’s interest above those of the United States is a trai- tor,” declareg Senator Gore. “And there are many traitors of that class in America. I think any American placing Great Britain’s interest above ours is a traitor, and there are as many of that class. These two types ' disloya! to his adupted iand. “When the honor of this republic is involved the essential rights are those vf American citizens. And every Arner- ican sword will leap from its scatbard in defense of those rights. The senti- ment must not be trifled with. It is not a plaything for the hands of Amer- icans who ore disposed to risk their lives on belligerent ships. “Rule Survival of Piracy.” **] believe tiiat the law gives neutrals the right to travel on be&jgerent ships. The right is a survival of piracy and]. ought to ve withdrawn. The law once gave them the right to hold slaves. “Perhaps wyone of a hundred mil- lion Americans has the right to risk his own life, and any madcap American citizen may boast that it is his inalien- able, his sacred right under tnternation- al law, to involve the nation in war, But I believe the AAundred million oth- ers have tio to. be protected against the recxlessness cf the ore. right “Of course, the right of the millions’ ‘s not to be balanced against the right of the one. “My conviction,” continued Senator Gore, “‘is that Conmgress has the right to say to the American people for the welfare of the country and for their own preservation, ‘stay off these ships.’ ”’ “The resoiuticn express‘y state« that it does not withdraw such a right. it specifically asks that Americans for- bear to exercise their rfght.’’ “There is absolutely no misapprehen- sion here on that point,” interrupted Senator Lodge. ‘It only says if Amer- icans exercise their right this Govern- ment will withdraw its. protection.” *I would lixe to ask a question,”’ said Senator Jorah, Republican, of Idaho. “Suppose we pass the Gore resolution as drawn and suppose, as time proceeds, some submarine destroys a ship and 100 lives, would the Senator from Okla- homa be willing to forego the right of the American Government to deman: reparation for their loss?’ “My judgn:ent Is.” Senator Gore re- plied, “that the warning would serve the purpose of inducing American citt- zens not to embark on armed vessels and that there would be no danger of trouble being thus encountered.”’ Senator Clapp, Republican, of Minne- sota, suggested there was no differ- ence in the principle of refusing pass- ports to Americans to travel in the bel- ligerent nations’and to trave! on armed merchantmen. The State Departmen: in January, 1915, he pointed out, issued a - letter stating that it di@ not deem it advisable to issue passports for Amer- had always been ermitted.” said Senator James, ‘‘to handle this question without the im- pre:-sion being created in Germany that ‘he did not speak with the nation behind him, we might have gotten German.’ to agree thut the lives cf all neutrals should be protected on the hishest seas.”’ Senator Gore, with feeling, retorted that he appreciated the implication, but declared he considered the worst of al! cowards was one who lacked the, cour- Eee ference with the President of the United States, received from the President the information, if not the declaration, that if Germany insisted upon her position, the United States would insist upon her bosition and that it would result prob- ably in a breach of diplomatic relations and that a breach of diplomatic rela- tions would probably be followed by a State of war and that a state of war might not be of itself and of necessity Continued on Next Page. a | i | : ' !

Special at $4.95 “Now, I do not know that this TES, - President,” Senator Stone continued, | “and to the facts of the case, so far as they are within my knowledge that the President never stated to me or in my hearing that he believed in any way or in any way entertained the thought that war between the United States pod the rea ng Powers would be desir- or wou result in United States.”’ — “The President has a passion for peace,”” Senator Kern said at this point. but because of fillness he did not rise and few Senators heard him. “I will accept the remark of the Sena- tor of Indiana (Mr. Kern), “that he has ® passion for peace,’’ Senator Gore re- sponded. ‘We all have a passion for peace. Yet I want to say at this stage that I am not for peace at any price. I do not believe all peace is honorable, or that all war is dishonorable, but I repeat that when I heard of the re- ported conversation between the Pres- ident and the Senator from Missouri, I believed it to be founded on fact be- cause of the source from which it came to me. I was convinced that there must be some basis for the report that the President suggested to the Senator from Missouri that the United States might bring the war to a close tn the middie of the summer.”’ Again Challenged by Stone. Senator Stone jumped to his feet a second time. “The President of the United States made no such statement as quoted by the Senator from Oklahoma,” Sen- ator Stone declared emphatically. “Whatever the President did say is something that I do not care to re- peat. Whenever I go to the White House for a conference with the President, what he says to me is sacred. I have not repeated the con- versation I had with the President. I have stateq impressions the conver- sation made on my mind. I stated in substance my impressions in my let- ter to the President which was made public.” “IT made no intimation that the Senator from Missouri had repeated the conversation,” Senator Gore re- plied. “When this rumor came to his ears,” demanded Senator James of Ken- tucky, “why didn’t the Senator from Oklahoma go to the President and ask if it were true? The Senator from Oklahoma is on good terms with the President, is he not?” “If I had received an invitation to go to the. White House with Senators Stone and Kern, it was overlooked.’’ re- plied Gore. “The Senator crom Oklahoma is one of the President’s closest friends,” Senator James continued “Why did he not go to him and ascertain just what he said? I am sure the Presi- dent would have been giad to tell him.” “In the first place, I had no evidence that I might be taken into the Presi- dent’s confidence or I might receive his impressions in the matter,’’ Senator Gore replied. “I acted on what seemed | to me to be the facts. I have only u- | dertaken to tell of the report as it came to’me. If it is untrue, everybody must be gratified.” Senator Gore said he would endeavor to presen: .he whole issue as he sees it at another time, and added: “Wha'ever may have been the con- versation between the President and Senator Stone, I hope the impression re- ceived by me and-others was a mistaken one. I possess only finite wisdom, ft have been doing my duty as 1 see it under the evidence and lights that avail. “T have no disposition to interfere with diplomutic negotiations in so far as they do not infringe on the constitu- tional rignt 2/ Congress to declare War. I am not willing to embark on war with Germany or any other nation on this issue. Whenever the vital inter- ests of the United States or the essen- tialrights of American citizens are Vio- lated or outraged, I will gs» as far as anyone to arm the President with every available power to wage war, whether it be with Germany or any other nation under the sun. I have no choice of ene- mies.”’ MINISTERS WILL NOT SUBMIT EVIDENCE OF “LID” VIOLATIONS The Rev. John lL. Brandt, chairman of the Legislation Committee of the Evangelical Alliance, said this morn- ing the alliance would decline to pre- sent any evidence to back its asser- tion that the “lid is off in St. Louis” while Horace M. Rumsey remains as Excise Commissioner. The statement was in reply to a challenge from Rumsey that the ministers submit proof to his office to support their charges. “ Dr. Brandt declared, however, that the alliance could substantiate all of its charges. Rumsey, in his letter to Dr. Brandt, said he wished te inform the minis- ter that the excise laws were being fully enforced by him. He asked that the minister present evidence that saloons were violating the laws and remaining open on Sunday. “I¢ you fail to do so,” he wrote, “I, as well as every other reasonable per- son, will be warranted in drawing the conclusion that your statements are untrue and that they were made without any evidence on which to base them.” KATO PHILOSOPHER BY NATURE Correspondence of the Associated Presse. TOKIO, Feb. 10.—Baron Hiroyuki Ka. to, one of Japan’s greatest scholars and one of the ploneers in the introduction of Occidental civilization into Japan, died on Feb. 9, at the age of 81. For a long time he was president of the Im- rerial University here and was virtual- ly the founder of that institution. A philosopher by nature and by attalr, ment, Dr. Kato devoted himself to the introduction of Western philosophy into Japan, being an advocate of the teach- ings of Darwin. He translated many volumes and was the first Japanese to learh the German language. Dr. Kato never went abroad, but his name is widely known among scholars in foreign lands. He had the reputation cf being a strong opponent of Christian- ity. He was a great student of Con- fucianism and Chinese classics. Under him were educated many modern schol- ars of Japan. He was one of the tu- tors of Emperor Mutsuhito. When the Japanese Diet came into existence he! was appointed a life member of the House of Peers and later created BRa- ron. In his later life he Was member of the Privy Council and Was regarded as the virtual head of the educational! life of Japan. ' 4 25e Boston and f 1 fe NO. D.

H. Hamilton Says He Had ‘‘Ham Actors’”’ in Trying to Produce Film. George Harry Hamilton of 2031 Park avenue, photoplay promoter, who, witn his wife, was bound over to the grand jury after a. preliminary hearing :n Bast St. Louis yesterday on a charge of operating a confidence game, told -n the witness stand of his troubles in try- ing to promote the Ham-Ex Film Com- pany with a bunch of ‘‘ham actors.” The hearing. before Justice Townsend, also disclosed that among the St. Louis- ans and East St. Lotisans who yearned to be movie stars \vere a housemaid, a railroad machinist and the night watch- man of a packing plant. When brought to East St. Louis by Hamilton, the assets of the Ham-Ex company, 4@ **$100,000 corporation,’’ char- tered in Delaware, where it is not nec- essary to have the capital paid up, consisted of a camera man, a scenari), a soubrette, a character man and a camera. Hamilton made this admis- sion in testifying in his own defense. Hamilton wore a heavy fur coat, and fumbled with a gold-headed cane as he gloomily told of selling his personal ef- fects to get money partly co pay his in Lansdowne Park, East St. Louis. ‘‘I’m broke now,’’ Hamilton said. But it was brought out that he was in the same condition, as regards cash, when he came to East St. Louis to in- terest the townspeople in ‘actin’ before the camera.’ Later, Hamilton said, he raised enough money to subscribe for $1250 worth of paid-up stock in the Lans- downe Photoplay Co., which he incor. porated in Illinois for $2500. He got some of this money, he testified, by printed film. Never Read Manuscript. As for “The Old Armchair,’’ the pho- toplay that was started but never fin- ished, Hamilton admitted that he never took time to read the manuscript. The author was G. Hugh Morrison, sti!l unpaid for services as author, director of the production, and lender of the studio site. Morrison, the promoter said, made inviting promises about investors that later failed to materialize. The Ham-Ex Co., was his persona] property, Hamilton said. He decided to incorporate the Lansdowne Photoplay Co., when he learned he would have to pay an assessment of $145 if he operated the Ham-Ex Co., an outside corpora- tion. He said that Ado Lang, the former hight watchman at a packing plant, who caused the arrest of Mr. and Mrs. Ham- iiton, volunteered to invest in the Lans- Lang had testified previously of buying stock to get a $50- a-month job as superintendent of the all the money he had, he was promoted to a director of the corporation, with Lang, the promoter testified, pleaded for permission to pay $11.30 for coal. so the studio would not have to be closed in January because of cold wather. He said Lang was ‘“‘perfectly satisfied and happy” when he received 20 shares of Lansdowne photoplay stock in return for his investment. The basis of Lang’s charge is that he returned this stock, at Hamilton’s request, and that Hamilton had failed thus far to keep a promise to relasue him 26 shares of Lansdowne and % shares of Ham-Ex, |» return for it. Lang considers he was the “financial angel’ of the concern for many weeks. Hamilton satd that he and his wife Were so anxious that Lang shoul? he well treated that Mrs. Hamilton even | divided her hunch with Lang one day. Can Have Stock. There was a titter in the courtroom when Hamilton. on the stand, calculated that the prosecuting witness still owes him $30 on their transactions.

A few days later he came to me and said, ‘Paul,’ I'd like to have a little more money. See if you can raise it.’ I went to my brother and got it. I put in steady time at the job for two weeks, but he only paid me $2, I had to have $1.50 to pay my lodge dues, and he gave me the other 50 cents to apply ou my salary.” Slezak estimated that he put in 100 hours, for which Hamilton owes him $50. He said Hamilton made him a member of the board of directors when he paid the last $50. be a director,’’ the witness continued. “He said the other actors might have to wait. a while for their salaries, but that the directors always were paid first. I was a butler in the play. We usually spent the mornings practicing acting in a back room. We acted be- fore the camera in the afternoon.” Morrison, manager of Lansdowne Park, author of “The Old Arm- chair,’’ and director of the production, testified he’ never got any money for his services or his manuscript.

People who are confined within doors and who are deprived of fresh, invigor- ating air and exercise must take pre- caution to guard against over-stoutness as fat acquired by indoor iife is un- healthy and a dapger to the vital organs of the body. Lack of exercise in the fresh air is said to weaken the oxygen- carrying power of the blood, so that it is unable to produce strong musclee and vitality, and the formation of unsightly and unhealthy fat is the result. If you are 15 or 20 pounds above nor- mal welght vou are daily drawing on your reserve strength and are constantly lowering your vitality by carrying this excess burden. Any persons who are sat- jafied in their own mind that they are too stout are advised to go to a rood druggist and get u box of oil of ‘torein capsules and take once after each meal and one just before retiring at night.

FATHER BEGS POLICE CHIEF TO KILL HIS DEFECTIVE BABY - —-——-- Child Cannot Take Food in the Reg- ular Way and Has Convulsions— Mother in Hysterics, DES MOINES, Io., March 3.—The ac- tion of Dr. Harry J. Haiselden of Chi- cago in permitting the death of the de- fective Bollinger baby some time ago, was recalled by the request of Charles Cleveland, who asked the Des Moines Chief of Police last night for assistance in killing his 2-months-old daughter. ‘Chief,’ Cleveland said, tell me how I can kill baby so it won't be against the law. Maybe you'll help me so it will be all right, like that baby in Chicago. “You see,’”’ went on Cleveland, ‘this baby hasn't any mouth and the doctors say that she may never be able to eat. She has fits. My wife cries all the time and is sick. I asked the doctors to kill the baby, but they wouldn't.” At Cleveland's desolate home the City Physician found the baby in convulsion: and the mother in hysterics. He in- structed that both be taken to a hos- pital, He said it would be impossible to operate on the infant during the convul- sions. “won't vob my The Post-Dispatch is the only evening news- paper in St. Louis that receives or publishes news xathered by ' the Associated Preas.. ~ St eR ar ee te ee ne ee TT ee! ee ‘ U.S. SHIP GUNNERS HiT O0-FO0T MARK TEN MILES AWAY Admiral Fletcher Tells House Committee of Great Effi- ciency on Dreadnoughts. WASHINGTON, March 3.—An encour- aging report on the condition and effi- ciency of the nation’s sea forces was given to the House Naval Committee yesterday by Admiral Frank Fletcher, commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet. In individual fighting efficiency, Ad- migal Fletcher declared, the dread- noughts of the United States led the world, while in the skill of its officers and men the navy had no reason to’! fear comparison of that of any other Power. Describing some of the things the navy is doing in the light of lessons on thie European war, the Admiral said ne ship of the fleet recently had hurled seven out 42 huge pro-sectiles through a target 20x60 feet at a range nine to ten miles, or 16,000 to 18,000 vards. The longest ranges used in the naval en- Eagements of the huropean war thac far, he explained, were 16,000 to 17,000 yards. Judging from reports from various ships which have been engaged in tar- get practice at Guantanamo during the last month, Admiral Fletcher said it was probable that from 10 to . per cent of the shots fired could be landad on a battleship at 18,000 yards. He de- scribed the increased difficulties of long range firing due largely to the fact that inherent errors in gun fire and range determination, which do not seri- ously affect results at short distancs:, are greatly magnified as the range goes up. At 18,000 yards, he said, shots from eight or ten guns fired in salvo and trained exactly alike would cover a space 1 the s2a of 400 to 300 yards on -oth sides of the target, although there was little lateral variation. The object now, he added, was to ‘“‘straddle’’ the target with these salvos, the chances being that approximately that one-fourth of the projectiles woul. land on a 2z-ip thus straddled. To voring out the effectiveness of navy shells, -«.dmir.*° «.ctche tom of target work by the Wyoming last year at 12,000 yards in which three shells penetrated a 10-inch armor: plate.

DOWAGER QUEEN OF RUMANIA, 1S DEAD Inflammation of the Lungs Fatal to Widely-Known Royal Woman. — AMSTERDAM, sere: © 3.—The arer Quéen Elizabeth of' Rumania died at 7:30 ’o’clock Thursday morning, ac- cording to a Bucharest dispatch. The funeral will take piace on Sunday. The Queen mother was under the treatment of three doctors, and about three weeks ago returned to Bucharest from Curtea de Arges in Wallachia, where King Charles is buried. A week ago she became ill and inflammation of the lungs quickly developed. Early yesterday morning there seemed to be a slight improvement, but soon the Queen became unconscious and died within a few hours. King Ferdinand and Queen Marie spent much time with the Dowager Queen. Yesterday all the ministers called at the palace. The pen name “Carmen Syiva,’’ by which the Queen Mother Elizabeth of Rumania was most widely known, was chosen by her in expression of her love for song and the woods. She was one of the most @harming figures in the courts of Europe, and practically the only one of recent generations to gain fame as a poetess. In her own words, she was born ‘‘far from e throne,” for although she was a Princess of Wied, one of the many tiny principalities with which Germany abounded, her youth was that of an ordinary robust country girl who learned to cook and sew and who romped in the open with her companions at the village school. She was born Dec. 29, 1813, and in her childhood she showed predilection for the poetical fancies that had suci an influence on her later life. She ab- sorbe:] innumerable fairy stories and, with some of her own imagination add- ed, she delighted her playmates with her fancies. At home she received Spartan training, and with a father who was an invalid for life, and a brother who was incurably ill, she experiences many sorrows and hardships. Visited in Russia. Upon the death of her brother, the Princess was sent away to visit her aunt, the Grand Duchess Helena of Rus- sia, who took her traveling to various parts of Europe. It was during this tour, however, that the Princegs herself was stricken with typhus fever, and when she recovered it was to learn that her father had died. She was deeply affect- ed by the sorrow in her family, and mus.c and pceetry became her oniy con- solation. “‘‘Must all I love on earth be borne to the grave?” is the burden of a mournful poem she wrote at the time of her father’s death. Among her friends about her home on the Rhine, “the little wild rosebud of Wied’ had evinced an almost savage dislike to matrimony, and had often exclaimed: “I do not want to marry unless I can be Queen of Rumania.’ The principality of Rumania had at that time just been founded, and there was no sense in the young Princess’ remark except that she believed it a sufficiently safe way to say that she didn’t want to marry at all. There is a remarkable romance at- tached to the fact that some years later her suitor became Prince Charles of Hohenzollern, _who was refused on the GIRLS! ACT NOW!

Bucharest, the Princess threw herself with great ardor into the life of the country. She learned to read and write Rumanian, made herself acquainted with the needs and requirements of the land, and became so beloved that the people called her ‘“‘The Little Mother.” Out of her own private purse she hospitals and art gal- leries, and devoted practically her whole life to philanthropy. Although she had practiced her literary talents in a limited way for many years, it was not until the death of her first, and only child, at the age of four, that much of her work was published. Though her poems lose much from the translation, one glimpse of a favorite theme is as follows: ‘The that's fairest word on earth heard, On hitman lips the fairest word, Is mother. To whom such name shall once belong, Higsh honor hers her whole life long, A mother. But all her earthly joys are over, Who is and then who is no more A mother.” She translated into German the fi vorite Rumania folk songs, and wrote some short novels and dramas. Some of her pubiications are: ‘Thoughts of a Queen,” ‘‘Ed.een Vaughan,” “Shadows on Life’s Dial” and “A Real Queen’: Fairy Book.”’ She was an indefatigable worker. I[n- terviewers who have been recclved at her palace have found her answering her innumerable letters herself cn iu typewriter—four of which machines she had in constant use, equipped for writ- ing in Englisn, Rumanian, French and German. Once a pupil of Rubenstein. she was skilled in the playing of the piano, and sne was also gifted as an artist.

His fashionable friends would have wondered had they seen this favored son of fortune amid such humble surroundings. But Maurice had ever been demo- cratic at heart. There was storm and sleet outside. He had experienced chill and discomfort from the biting blast. Half way home to his elegant bachelor quarters the scent of real coffee wafte@d from the cafe- teria had tempted him to warm up ona cup of it, He fell to musing and watching the patrons of the restaurant come and It was a perfectly respectable _place, and the _ visitors comprised clerks, stenographers and older men and women who saw an economy in the wholesome and palatable food furnished by the place. Then, direct- ly opposite him at another table his attention became fixed on a young girl of about 18. Her coat still showed the rain she had gone through, her thin, shabby boots lookeg as if they were soaked through. She had brought a cup of tea and some doughnuts to the table, the lowest priced articles on the bill of fare. She drained the last drop and. swept up the last crumb. Her face was a set picture of resignation. Her mournful eyes grew slightly sadder as she emptied her purse on the table. A sidelong glance revealed the con- - tents to Maurice Steele—three dimes, a quarter, a nickel and a couple of pennies. The $20 Loan. HE girl studied the wretched lit- T tle heap and fell into a spell of thought. Then she picked up the evening newspaper. Maurice no- ticed that she scanned the column devoted to board and lodgings. It was among the briefer advertisements that she sought some cheap rate that she could hope to pay. The quest seemed hopeless. The girl looked out at the rain and she shiv- ered. A scared look had come into her face. She took up her empty tumbler to fill it at the water cooler 20 feet away. For a moment, only, her back was turned to the table where she had left her little purse. That was time suffi- cient, however, for Maurice to speei across the aisle, open the purse, slip in a $20 bill, reclose the purse and regain his seat. The girl returned to the table, but did not sit down again. She slowly drew on her faced, well-patched gloves, turned up tne collar of her coat and walked towards the cashier’s desk de- spair in her tired eyes. Maurice’s tack was toward her. He hoped the episode would end with no investigation. He turned at a quick rustie at his side. The girl faced him challengingly. : “It could be only you” she spoke, her voice full of tears, ‘“‘who—who’’— “Sought to ease your hard way in memory of a dead sister, who bade me never turn from a woman in distress. Forget the incident and me,” spoke liaurice, in 2-2 clear, manly fashion. “IT cannot take it,’’ said the gir] de. cisively, stonily, and placed the bank note on the table. “You mus. take Listen, young lady,’’ said Maurice, hastily and per- suasively, “I shall be unhappy if you refuse. It is more than a free gift, for I have plenty. Not as a gift, then, ‘my dear miss, a loan.”’ She hesitated. She thought of the dark, gloomy street, a doorway shelter, lurking, sinister birds of evil prey. He had taken out his card case. He pressed card and money into her faltering clasp. “See, this is my name and address,” he went on, ‘“‘when you get work send it. nel L. Henderson. Pg money back to me, if you choose, Good night, and heaven guard you!” Her eyes were swimming with tears. She could not speak. She took up his hand and lifted it to her lips. “I will prove myself worthy of your confidence,” she finall~ uttered. Then she left his side andé the place. The Plot Overheard. was a new Winnine Vaughan who proudly inclosed a $20 money order in an envelope at the postoffice three months later, directed to “Mr. Maurice Steele, Temple Apartments.”’ “If he knew the grateful heart be- hind it,” she murmured—‘“if he realized what that loan meant to me!” The episode passed, but never the memory of the noble gentleman who had come to her rescue so opportunely. More than that, his handsome, open face was ever before her. She mar- veled what joy ineffable it must be -to some woman to be beloved by such a man, who had pjtied her as though she had been some dear sister. Another three months passed away. Winnie had a pleasant, permanent and well-paid position at a hotel telephonw exchange. She was on the night ehift, and about 9 o’clock one evening, as she dent came to her notice. Someone, a man, was connected from the buffet with a man at another hotel. As she caught the name, ‘Maurice Steele,’ all of her interest was imme- diately aroused. “Get into action at once,”’ went over the wire. “It’s a sure job and an easy one—Temple Apartments. I'll meet you outside and we'll trim this Steele bloke. He’s been sick and I happen to know that the man aitending him is off duty till midnight. Steele has all kinds of dough. Get busy!” “Maurice Steele—Temple Apartments! These were thieves in confab! And he was threatenec—the man she adored! Winnie formed a speedy decision. She found a substitute. threw on her hat and coat and hastened to the Temple Apartments. Winnie remembered the number of the suite occupied by Mr. Steele. She reached the floor where it was located. Was she in time to warn him? She tried a door. It opened to her touch. Three apartments en suite showed, a light in only one at the remote end, where she made out the object of her solici- tude reading at a table. Winnie Saves Maurice Steele. S she hastened across the two inter- A vening rooms_ she uttered a scream. Two men were lurking in the shadow. They sought to stop her. She broke loose from a staying hand. She heard the ruffians pursuing. Where a hat rack stood was a heavy cane. She turned at bay. “Mr. Steele!’ she cried sharply. “Thieves are after you!’’ And she swung the cane. And then a shot, and she knew no more till morning. She lay on a couch‘in the owteele apartments and the janitor’s wife bent over her. She to# Winnie that her wound was slight, that the robbers had been captured, that Mr. Steele had giv- en up his apartments to her. He came in as the doctor left that morning. Her eyes were tender, yet ra- diant. “Bread cast on the water,’ he said softly—"you have saved my property and perhaps my life.’’ “T~I must get back to mured Winnie, confusedly. ‘Uniess you will stay work,’’ mur- here—as my wife.

But others, and these are mostly women, take their clubs so seriously that during the season they spend a great deal too much time running from une club meeting to another. Such a woman is what they sometimes call in the country ‘‘a natural-born gadder,”’ and long before clubs were invented her ancestress was running something else just as hard. CLUB is a very good thing indeed if you don’t try to make it the whole show. You usually get a good deal of pleasure out of it and often a deal of instruction also. But don’t take 1. too seriously. In order to join any sort of club it is usually necessary to have a friend who is a club member. Consult this friend about the rules for membership, and, if the lists are not aiready full, he or she will usually vol unteer to propose your name and wili a'so, if necessary, procure sponsors to sccond the application. As soon as you are notified of your admission to a club and receive your bill you must at once send to the treasurer a check coverinz both the initiation fee and yearly duce And it is courteous also to write cordial notes of thanks to the people who stood as sponsors for your nomination and also to the friend who mgincered the whole proceeding.

She helped the cook make coffee, she carried wraps to the hys- terical guests while the colored maid was fainting, she laughed bravely and hummed a bit, and even joked while death—a death of storm clouds and hurricane and grinding rocks and dash- ing waves—stared her in the face. It was an hour of grief and horror, but it grew to be an hour of under- standing. In that hour the ytris who had been neglectful and the men who had been indifferent fo!t their preju- dices and veneers of caste swept away.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hai brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It’s very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out fasily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han- dle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dan- druff.— ADV, g oats * —the only mellow singing INIMITABLE. Price $325.

(Copyright, 1916, by Press Pub. Co.) LONDON, March 3.—The capture of Erzerum by the Russians has deeply impressed the Turkish populace. If the British are successful in Mesopotamia the Committee of National Defense of the Young Turks party likely will fall from power and another ministry will succeed them and probably sue for peace, according to statements made in Cairo, Egypt, dated Feb. 28. They are newspaper. The state of mind of the committee is illustrated by the fact that Talaat Bey a month ago sent two deputies to Switzerland to discuss conditions for peace. The restoration of the Khedivi- ate of Egypt with Prince Said Halem as Khedive, Russia’s evacuation of Ar- menia. the evacuation of Mesopotamia by Great Britain and a loan by the allies to Turkey were the terms asked. These were rejected, but Talaat Bey sent another deputation to Switzerland and France to offer concessions. No news of this mission had been received when Al Mokattam’s informant left Constantinople.

PHILADELPHIA, March 3,—The Mahler Eighth Symphony was per- formed for the first time in America last night By the Philadelphia Orches- tra, aided by a chorus of 950 voices and eight solo singers. The orches- tra, led by Leopold Stokowski, been augmented to 110 instruments. The production was regarded by many as the most important event in the musical history of the country. The symphony is to be given three performances here, and later taken to the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. All seats had been disposed of weeks in advance of the opening, though the Academy of Music, where the symphony is being produced, ac- commodates nearly 3000 persons. Musical experts agreed that the rendition of the symphony wags su- perb. The symphony was first pro- duced in Munich in 1910, and has been heard only one other time in Europe.

UNITED STATES DECISION IN APPAM CASE SECRET State Department Ruling te Be With- held Until Court Has Passed on Libel Action by England, WASHINGTON, March. 3.—The State Department yesterday sent to Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador. its decision in the case of the British liner Appam, which was captured by a German raider and brought into Hamp- ton Roads in charge of a prize crew. Announcement of the contents will be withheld at the request of counsel tor the German Government, pending a de- action brought by agents of the original British owners in the Federal Court at Norfolk. The court will be allowed to interpret the Prussian-Angerican treaty, which is claimed by Germany to provide that a German prize may remain in American waters indefinitely, with immunity from legal proceedings, instituted by the or- iginal owners in an attempt to regain possession of the ship. In awaiting an interpretation of the treaty by the courts, the State Depart- ment is acting in accordance with pre- cedent. The executive branch of the Government always bas refrained from cases.

T. Schnaare, superintendent of the Staunton, Ill., ight and power plant, came all the way in to St. Louis to get a bottle of Tanlac. He knew the value of Tanlac. “Tanlac has saved me money as it has made me fit for work,’ Mr. Schnaare said. “It has made me feel like a new man, and the power plant is running better. “T/suffered from nervousness and a bloated stomach. My system was all run down. Food would never agree with me but always go against me. Sleepless nights and nervous- ness had me in a mighty poor con- dition. . I suffered from a continual bloating and that tired, no-ambition feeling. “Tanlac was recommended to me so that I began taking it. The re- sults are remarkable. ~ “T have gained seven pounds. My appetite has improved, my food agrees with me, I am sleeping like a baby and my relief in general through Tanlac is miraculous, DE HIS EHAVE “T am only too glad to boost Tan- lac because I have had such good results from it. As I said, it has put money in my pocket because it has made me fit to work and given me ambition.” Tanlac’s value can hardly be over- estimated, according to the state- ments of thousands of men anid women who, like Mr. Schnaare, have regained through Tanlac invaluable health. People talk about Tanlac be- cause Tanlac gives them something worth talking about—bodily comfort and contentment, vigor and strength, energy and ambition. Bloating and pains of the stomach, indigestion, nervousness, deranged liver and kid- neys, catarrhal conditions and other disorders have been relieved in the cases of thousands of mer and wom- en who have gladly made known to other sufferers their benefits by tak- ing Tanlac.

Arthur Stickney of 5142 Waterman avennue was slightly burned on the back and arms, and on the left lez below the knee, at the Victoria Theater last night, during a rehearsal of “Live in a Toy Shop," a play to be presented tonight by the Junior League of St. Louis, with a society cast. The metal trimmings of Mrs. Stick- ney’s costume touched an electric switch, causing a short-circuit which set Clarence H. King and William Crowell, members of the cast, tore a curtain from a box and wrapped it about Mrs. Stickney, extinguishing tho fire. The shock was such that she withdrew from the play, and Miss Marie Wight of Brentmoor place was selected to take her part.

The State Board of Agriculture, with headquarters in Columbia, has issued a handsomely bound Year Book, printed on expensive paper and containing hun- dreds of costly illustrations. The book contains 622 pages, many of which are devoted to matters concern- ing agriculture. The book by no means is limited to agriculture, however. It contains a varied assortment of poems of more or less merit, dealing with many subjects. There are a few articles re- printed from country newspapers with the explanation that they are used be- cause of their literary merit. Some newspaper cartoons occupy two pages, and long newspaper articles from one St. Louis and one Kansas City news- paper occupy considerable space. Directed by Secretary. The book was published under the direction of Jewell Mayes, secretary of the board. Comment is made on one page of the portion concerning the activities of the Board that it was necessary to incur a deficiency of $5000 to carry on the farmers’ institute work, and that this was done with the consent of Gov. Major. The figures on the cost of the book are not available, but the publishing of the annual report cost the State $7901.52 in 1918 and $7327.30 in 1914. The report this year is on a much more elaborate scale than in those years. The first 14 pages of the report are de- voted to a prettily worder and profuse- ly decorated idyl, ‘‘May-Time in Mis- souri,”” by Mayes. The last page, which is typical of the whole, reads: ‘Missouri, the haven of homes, wel- comes heart-sick or home-hungry citi- zens of every land and clime, pointing the way to paths of prosperous peace, to our 44,000,000 of ardent acres—welcome, every lover of industrial freedom and human justice, to good old Missouri hospitality, where manly merit and womanly worth mark and measure the sterling standard of social honor, in land unspoiled by fitful fashion’s craven touch!’’ A Cowboy Ballad. A cowboy ballad takes up nearly a page of the report. It is an old ballad and almost everybody knows it. It starts out: ,Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie,”’ These words came low and mournfully From the pallid Nps of a youth who lay On his dying bed at the close of day After seven more stanzas, it. ‘con- cludes: ‘It is hard to think the heart throbs are o’er And to know these fountains will gush | no more. Another poem, “The Tangled Old Down Row,” takes up a page and a half, and was written by C. 0. Who- brey of St. Louis. An explanation ac: companying it is that it was written in memory of the author’s boyhood days in Holt County, and that it originally was written to be used by a candidate for Governor in his campaign. The first stanza is: Just before the wings of morning Push away the shades of night, When a ner is most too sleepy To tell his left shoe from the right, When he snaps his broad suspenders And adjusts his cap just so. And disappears out in the darkness To shuck gaat tankled old down-row! here are five more stanzas of such like. Another poem, “Missouri, 1915,” was written especially for the year book by Mrs. Nannie E. Montfort of Jack- son County. There are 12 stanzas, of which the first is: ’"Mong Laval great sisterhood she Sits like a Enshrined th e her hillsides ant elie ene: tween! Whobrey, the author of the tangle4 row poem, contributes another, ‘‘Great- er Missouri.” It has only five stan- zas, but they are longer ones. The first is: Missouri! Thy fame shall be greater, ine own sons have measured thy Each year in magic abundance Comes the greater crop from A , Bald. As each son returns from his trav To view your fair acres once + i His thought: ‘‘Oh, why did I wander From Missouri’s most beautiful shore?’’ This One Is Copyrighted. “‘Missouri, Missouri!’’ is the title of another poem used. It was written and copyrighted by Fred Emerson Brooks and was read by him at the dedication of the Missouri Building at the San Francisco Exposition. Brooks and his publishers gave their consent for its use in the Board of Agriculture’s re- port. Lee Shippey, editor of a paper in Hig- ginsville, contributed a poem, ‘“‘The Mis- souril Corncob,’’ which is said to really get back to the farm. It’s first stanze goes this way: When I was Son, and had to build the kitchen fire each morning, And enact in the chilly dawn must my slumbers hop, I earnen: to love the humble cob, the woodhouse crib adorning The reagn and ready cornea. which I r had to chop— The homely, handy fuel which was dearer than a jewel; Though fate seemed cold and cruel, still it brightened up the job; It never needed splitting when the snow- flakes down were flittin And with gratitude unquitting I revere and love the cob! “Good Old Shippey has another, Apple Time,” in the report. It takes up nearly a page. It has four stan- Fried apples with that ) ma, Will sure go mighty Between meals I like apples raw * But apple sass for mine At supper time. And dumplins! Say, Comptheinin’ seems a crime! Life just seems perfect every way in good old apnle time The last poem in the report is clipped from a lumber journal, though it hasn't anything more to do with lumber than it has with agriculture. It is “The Man I Meant to Be.’’ There really is quite a lot in the re- port about agriculture.

NOT ASKED TO PITCH, YET At Present Michigan U. Wonder Is Performing in the Outer Gardens. By W. J. O’Connor, Post-Dispatch Correspondent With the Browns. PALESTINE, Tex., March 8.—None of the privates in the Brown brigade is pulling at the halter of restraint more stubbornly than Fielder A. Jones, com- mander in chief of the field forces. Jones hardly can wait until the day . when he sends his men through a regu- “Nation game with instructions to ‘‘cut loose.’’ He let them out yesterday for a four- inning fracas, repeated the dose again this morning and will put them over the regulation hurdles tomorrow when: an admission fee wiil be charged. The big game between the Terriers and _ the Browns - has been.put over until next Tuesday. The most impressive work yesterday was cofitributed by George Sisler, the mighty young man from Michigan. Sis- ler Was assigned to the outfield and his work at bat and afield was such as to again drive home the conviction that only the need of hurlers will keep him out of daily box scores. | Sisier has baseball instinct. He is in- herently a ball player, fortified with the intuitive He is one in a thousand. Ty Cobb is his predecessor, Sisler at His Best. Iie made two plays in yesterday's four-inning game that stood out like Hans Lobert’s bowed legs. In the first inning he laid down a bunt, perfect in conception and execution. He caught Phillips off his stride and pushed the ball slowly toward third, beating it out for a hit that started a rally, even- tuating in six runs. Later he beat out a grounder to Pratt, further establish- ims himself as a speed merchant. Ilis crowning effort was a throw to the right base. So many seasoned ball- players persist in throwing to the wrong buse and losing games. There was a runner on second when Shotton shot a short line single to right field. Sisler but it got past and he had his back to the field ‘when he retrieved. Severeid was going in from second, and Severeid isn’t fast, ' > but -he had a good start, and would have beaten Sisler’s throw to the plate. Shot- ton, on the other hand, surely would have made second on a throw home, even though it was cut down by the piteher. However, Sisler sdidn’t cause any complication. Retrieving the ball, He’ turned and laid it dead at the middle bag, driving Shotton back to first. This play provoked praise from Fielder Jones, who isn’t lavish with his words of commendation. Fielder has re- duced conversational intercourse to a basis of absolute necessity. But he couldn’t deny Sisler a good word. The Michigan wonder hasn't yet been accorded the sympathies of a pitcher. He has been used entirely in the out- fleld, much to the chagrin of Messrs. Walker, Tobin, Shotton, Ward Miller et In yesterday's game Del Pratt had the _ distinction of registering the first strike- “out. Jimmy Austin swiped the first base, while Johnny Tobin tore off the first real hit. Pratt redeemed himself later by driving a two-bagger over Center Fielder Hartley's head, scoring two runs. Hartley is a fine catcher. Parks Is College Bred. Jim Parks of Lexington, Ky., made a nice impression during his short tenure Parks is assistant director of athletics at Ken- fhe. State a and a wisé young jowl,- He is only 23 years old, and this 1s his first attempt in the major league ranks, but he is cooler than W. J. Bryan is to preparedness, and fields his position nicely.

EXPENSE Kansans’ Victory in Basket Series Will Decide Southern Valley Laurels. The part that the Washington Uni- versity basket-ball fiye will play in the two-game series with the Kansas Ag- gies, which opens at Francis Gymna- sium tonight, will be very much like that which was performed by the canine in the “‘Dog in the Manger’’ fable. As far as winning the Missouri Val- ley conference title, the Pikeway tossers have about as much chance to win that honor as Harry Trendall had against Gershon Mendeloff last* week at the Coliseum; whereas, if the farmer boys from Kansas take tonight's and tomor- row night’s skirmishes, they will be the rightful claimants to the Southern divi- Sion Missouri Valley supremacy. See the point? In the Southern division contests the Aggies have won four games from Kan- Sas and broke even in a two-game se- ries with Missouri. The Tigers, besides winning a quartet from the locals and breaking even with Bender’s bullies. took three out of four from the Jay- hawks. Consequently, two victories here will give the Aggies a 7—1 record, while the Tigers’ standing is 8—2. It’s probable that the Manhattan toss- ers Will win the pair here, if compara- tive scores count for anything. Wash- ington barely nosed out the Jayhawks in one game, and gave Mizzoo a hard scrap in but one of the four battles. The Aggies lost two games to Nebraska just by one point in each contest and is rated - one of the classiest quints in the We The jonene will line up tonight some- thing like this: For the Aggies—Rey- nolds and Adams, forwards: Leonard, center; Ramsey and MacMillan, guards. Washington—Stout and Miller, forw ards; Busick, center; Berry and Hewitt. guards. The series closes the 1916 sea- son for both teams. Pikers Offer Billikens a Gym. Director of Athletics Edmunds of Washing- tor. University has offered the use of the Pikeway gym to Coach Grogan of the St, Louis U. squad for the remainder of the season. The Billikens, however, wil] bring their season to a close next week with a trip through Kansas. St. Mary’s College, the Haskell Indians and the ’arrensburg oveuate will be played on the junket. The Smith-Manual and Soldan High Schoo: nts_ will meet again at Louisiana Hall this afternoon. The two teams played earlier in the season, with the Smith toasecs easily defeating the high school five. Soldan seems doomed for another trimming. The Principia ademvyv five decisively wali- leped the Yeatm High School five at the former’s gymnasium last night, submerging the North End passers, 58 to 23.

In reality he had a ‘‘pipe’’ compared to some jobs that have been handed out this year. For example there is: BENNY KAUFF, whose an- nounced task is to make Ty Cobb look cheap. FIELDER JONES, who guar- antees to shoulder all the blame, if the Browns are not close up at the finish of the 1916 race. LEE MAGEE, who says he will hit American League pitchers as éasily as he banged the Fed hurlers. hurlers BILL DONOVAN, who must show $165,000 worth of results from the new men -he has pur- chased. JIMMY CALLAHAN, who has picked himself—in words—the nice task of winning the Na- tional League flag, with tail- end tools. LEE FOHL, who has to earn about 10 per cent on $560,000 to hold his job as manager of the worst team in baseball. Any one of these assignments would have sent Hercules to the toboggan with tin-ware decorations on him. Nor is it a safe bet that all of those named will come through with thetir — assured. y .

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. March 3— Though Miller Huggins left St. Louis with the avowed intention of carrying but two catchers, Frank Snyder and Mike Gonzales, this season, the clever showing of young Tony Brottem is be- ginning to make the Cardinal ots be- lieve he was just a bit pre ure with his announcement. The Vancouver receiver has made an impression through his remarkable agil- ity. Most of the big fellows maneuver slowly. Not so Brottem. There are out- fielders and inflelders on the Cardinal roster to whom Tony would no doubt show a clean pair of heels in a dash around the sacks. It will take a mighty fast man to beat out a bunt in front of the plate with this fellow working behind the bat. Hug is receiving tele- grams and lettens every day from minor league clubs seeking Brottem’s services. He must be known to the bush man- agers as a valuable man. Brottem will do the receiving, in the games with the Bronchos tomorrow nad Sunday. Snyder will play first base.

Local Fans Get 21 Days of Rest in 1916 Season HERE will be 21 “days of rest’’ for _ the baseball followers of St. Louis during the coming campaign. After look- Ning over the schedules for both the Cardinals and Browns, it is found that there are just that many open dates. What’s more, almost half of these, nine to be exact, come in September, when interest in the national pastime is on the downgrade unless the home club is in the pennant fight. There will be two off days in April, June, July and August, while there are four dates in May, on which ‘neither the Browns or Cardinals play on the home lot. The open dates for local fan this season follow: April 19 and 24. May 8, 9, 2 and 2. June 19 and 23. July 6 and 24. Aug. 2 and 23. Sept. 56, 6, 7, 11-12, 18, 26, 27 and 238. Joe Judge, a recruit snared from the International League last, fall, will be the regular first sacker for the Nation- als this season.

SARATOGA, N. Y., March 3.—Frank Moran is working hard here, doing most of his work out of doors de- spite the heavy snowfall. He weighs 204 pounds and will go into the rings weighing about tw@ pounds less, his trainer Willie Lewis declares. “They keep harping on Willard’s size,” said Moran today. “It’s the big fellow this and the big fellow that. What's big about him—his feet? It’s silly to think I haven’t a chance to reach Willard’s jaw. “Coffey is a big tall fellow, isn’t he? He is 6 feet 3 inches high and he Started out bravely enough, making use of every inch of his height. Well, if my memory serves me, along about the seventh, James was in the neizh- borhood of 5 feet 8, after I cracked him on the ribs a couple of times. | haven’t the least fear of Willard’s great size. My only anxiety is that something will happen to him before I get a belt at his jaw. “Fate played into his hands from the Start. If I could have had Johnson for 26 rounds, as he did, I would have beaten him for the title myself. Johnson’s Trainer Favors Moran. “The thing that pleases me most is the fact that Tom Flanagan likes my chances against Willard. Tom was with Johnson in the Paris fight In which Jack was awarded a 20-round devision over me. He knows that Johnson actually fell into his chair every time he went to his corner after the fif- teenth round. They had-to lift him out of his chair to begin the twentieth. ‘Flanagan was with Johnson in Havana and in my offnion knows more about Jobn- son’s condition in that fight than any man in the world, save little George Monroe. Flanagan advances this argument: When Jack fought me he weighed 217 pounds and he was in as perfect physical condition as it Baltimore—Johnny Mayo and Packey Hommey, 10-round draw. Lewiston, Me—Chick West and Dave Pevwers, 12-round draw. Lawrence, Mass.—RBilly Ed- wards and Al Limerick, 10-round draw. Philadelphia—Joe O'Neill bested Fddie Kelley, six rounds. Mike Coster beat’ Pat O'Malley, six rounds. Whitey Fitzgerald stopped Eddie Hayes, three rounds. Willie Spencer knocked out Jimmy Tighe, three rounds, Kenosha, Wis.—Ever Hammer had a shade on Joe Welling, 10 rounds, did not attempt to get down to a low fight- ing weight. He went to the mark weighing nearly 240 and that extra weight was of the deadliest kind. He went six rounds far- ther than ne did against me, and, Flanagan says, fell exhausted from his own efforts. “If you remember, he was not knocked unconscious, He drew his knees up and then deliberately put up both gloved hands to shade his eyes from the sun. ‘‘Personally, I think that all the natural handicaps that Willard possessed, height, reach and weight, will be offset because of Willard’s long absence from the ring. True, he has been boxing with Monahan for nearly a year, but that-has worked against his in- terests rather than for them. I’ve had half a dozen hard actual ring fights since Wii- lard won the title. He has been idle a year and he was idle a year before he won the championship. **People seem to have forgotten that fact. Jack ogy 3 had him si an agreement not to engage in a contest before he met John- son. So you see he’s had one fight in two years, That fact alone convinces me that I will surely bring him down on March 25.’’ — --@ ----- | Rock Island in Three-Eye.

Special to the Post-Dirpatch. BALTIMORE, March 3. — ‘‘Billy’’ Sunday, precedent breaker and man of surprises, did the wholly unexpected this morning and called on Cardinal Gibbons. With ‘‘Billy’’ Sunday -were Mrs. Sunday and Dr. Howard A. Kelly, called the “Radium King.’’ They were received by the Cardinal and the es of the Archdiocese, the Rev. ouis R. Stickney, in the red room, The Cardinal wore his black cassock, bordered in the red of the cardinaiate and the little red zuchetto. Dr. Kelly presented the evangelist and Mrs. Sunday. Talkeq About Friends, The Cardinal and Sunday, rn their conversation, talked on various sub- jects and about several persons of their acquaintance. As near as they came to religion or the evangelist’s meetings was when the Cardinal askéd about Sunday’s roat and told Dr. Kelly to see that goodicare was taken of it and also as to whether he was nervous when he came to Bal- timore to open his campaign. Sunday sald he was always nervous when he started a campaign in a cits. Mrs. Sunday afterward said that thea Cardinal put this down in her husband’s favor. The Cardinal expressed surprise that Sunday is able with his throat in its rresent aggravated condition to make his voice carry so well. Cardinal Gib- oons said that he himseif had found his own voice far too weak at times. He recalled an occasion in Wilkes- Parre, Pa., when he and President Roosevett were speaking from a plat form in the public square. Several streets converge at this point and thou- sands of persons packed all of them The Cardinal said that he spoke firsc self heard. he, too, failed. The Cardinal said that he did not feel so badly about his own failure after that. He wondered whether Sunday would have been able to succeed where he and Roosevelt failed. Sunday doubted it very much. Talk of Mutual Friend. ered that they were both well acquaint- ed with a priest in Wilkes Barre, Pa.. for whom the evangelist has a very strong affection and admiration. They talked about him for a while. spoken of by the Cardinal, himself a rather ardent “fan.” of the room smiling and expressing mutual delight at the meeting. Late last night there was a rumor that Sunday was to call on Cardinal Gibbons it was Dr. Kelly who arranged the meeting. Sunday had said to Mrs. Sun- day that he wondered if it would be aliright for him to call on the Cardinal. After the visitors had lef: the Car- dinal said that he- was very much pleased with the interview and very glad that Sunday had called. “Tt was just a plain social call,’’ the Cardinal said. “Preparedness” for Spring Is the keynote of the message from St. Louis Style Shops to the congress of Post-Dispatch readers—next Sunday.

CORAM, Cal, March 3.—Every man in Coram, Shasta County, will hold a city office after the coming municli- pal election in April unless some of the women can be Induced to accept office. Coram, once a populous min- ing camp, is now-the smallest incor- porated city in the state, with a popu- lation of 24, of whom nine are men. ervice in Effect - April 1, 1916 \IVE years ago we were confronted with the fact that our present tele- phone rates did not yield a fair return on our investment in St. Louis. A study of the situation at that time by our engin- eers not only established the fact that the schedule of rates then and now in effect did not produce a sufficient revenue, but also that it did not fairly distribute the charges for service between the large and small users. A-new schedule of rates was devised for the purpose of increasing the revenue and also providing a more equit- able distribution of charges among the users of the service. In January, 1912, our subscribers were requested by us to accept the revised schedule. The majority of pur patrons who were affected agreed to the change in rates, but at the request of the St. Louis House of Delegates we postponed the establishment of the revised schedule pending an inves- tigation by the Public Service Commis- sion of St. Louis. The purpose of the investigation by the St. Louis Commis- sion was to determine whether the increased revenue was necessary to allow a fair re- turn on the capital invested in our plant. The St. Louis Commission spent more than a year and one-half in its examina- tion of our affairs. Their report to the Municipal Assembly, made in October, 1913, verified the value of our property as shown in our accounts, and expressed the opinion that the rates (the same as now in force) were not yielding a fair The Southwestern -The Commission’s order sets forth: In the meantime the Public Service Com- mission of Missouri had been created, and it became necessary for us to secure the approval of that body before we could put into effect the rates which had been suspended by our agreement with the St. Louis House of Dele- gates. Therefore, application was made to the Missouri Commission in December, 1913, asking authority for the establishment of this revised sched- ule of rates. The investigation by the Missouri Commission has covered every phase of our invest- ment, revenue, expense and net return. A period of more than two years has been devoted to this work, and after weighing the data compiled by its own engineers and experts, the Missouri Commis- sion has decided that additional revenue is necessary to yield a proper return, which, to be reasonable should be not less than 6%%. hile the schedule, as approved, is much lower than that filed by the Company, the Commission feels that it should be given a trial for a year, with the hope that it will yield the necessary revenue. “A commend- able feature of the modified schedule is that while it increases certain rates in order to increase the total of the revenue, the increase is confined to the subscriber who makes a large and valuable use of the telephone, while on the other hand, more fa- vorable rates are given to the subscriber to whom the telephone is a necessity and whose use thereof is more or less limited. And the right of the sub- scriber to change from his contract rate to a more favorable rate during the term of his contract, we regard as a most valuable privilege.” With our need for a revision in the rate schedule fully established not only by the careful and thorough investigation of our own engineers, but by the inves- tigation of the Public Servicg Commission of St. Louis and the close analysis of the situation by the Public Service Commission of Missouri, we desire especially to present the fact that our capital is ir- revocably dedienall to public use and that this re- adjustment of rates is not only necessary to protect that capital, but is necessary in order that we may attract additional capital to provide the extensions in service which the growing needs of St. Louis require. and Telephone Company elegraph a A New Schedule of Business Rates for Bell Telephone S

e os ‘ Fae Sa SNS OA TOCKYARD i GUT PRICES ON ALL WAR HORSES Margin of Profit Much Smaller Than Heretofore; Allies Bought 200,000 Head. The war horse market at the National Stockyards, which proved a bonanza for traders for several months of 1914 and 1915, with fancy prices being paid for the animals, has dropped back to about normal conditions. The commission firms that hold contracts are making a very narrow margin of profit, traders say. The price paid shippers for horses now is: Cavalry horses, $135 a head; light artillery, $155, and heavy artillery, $160. The contracts are made with the stock- men by New ,Yeork brokerage firms. which have them from the foreign Gov- ernments. One contract which France let provides for the delivery at Havre, France, of the horses, before they are necepted by the Government. Horses sold on this condition cost the French Government $310 a head, it is said. The prices now offered by the East Side commission firms are lower than they formerly paid. They were reduced when the French cut their purchase prices. The British have been out of the market since Nov. 16 last, and have iuformed the commission firms, accord- ing to an official, that they do not ex- pect to buy any more horses during the war. They now Mave many thousand head in Canada, being fed until they are needed. The Mrench, Italians and Belgians are still buying. The French take 300 a day, the Italians 100 and the Belgians 50. More than 200,000 horses have been bought at the East Side yards by the allies since the war began. se — MARRIAGE LICENSES. Jefferson Barracks, Mo .. Jefferson Barracks, Mo ae. Ww ashington John t..

Irregular. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 3.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial review, today Says: “Apparently the strength shown on the Stock Exchange in the early trading was in response to the news of the tabling, in the Senate, of the resolution warning Americans off ships threatened by Germany. In so far as this recov- ery was based on belief that the admin- istration’s hands had been upheld in its control of foreign policy, the later news, with its particulars of parliamentary maneuvers designed to rob the vote of any significance, checked the impulse to- wards a stronger market, and left the financial community’s mind in some un- certainty and with pernape a good dea) of disgust. Whether because of the belief that this could not be the end of the controversy between the Capitol and the Whit« House, or because of other considera- tions, the market continued reasonably firm, though activity ceased almost en- tirely. Market Is Firm. “Quotations at the opening were slightly higher than vyesterday’s close, the advance being generally at- tributed to an over-extended short interest. After a few minutes of ac- tivity and firmness, however, dulli- ness set in, which continued unre- lieved, except for short-lived spurts ina few specialties, “On the announcement of the fate of the Gore resolution in the Senate, a few of these issues advanced a point, the most active stocks being Mexican Petroleum, Baldwin, Amer- ican Locomotive and Corn Products. United States Steel through the great- er part of the day ruled fractionally higher than on yesterday, as did some of the copper and industrial stocks. The railroad issues also showed a slight betterment of yesterday's prices, but here again changes were very narrow. “The apathetic and irregular movements, which have been the ever since the political situation at Washington and at the battle front around Verdun seemed to have become deadlocked, were repeated today. In hardly any case, except in a few in- Stances where special efforts were brought - bear, were changes in quota- tions sufficient to lift as stock out. of the all-pervading lethargy, and fluctua- tions between high and low prices were, in the main, bounded by a single point or slightly more. “The lack of public interest, to which the market situation has been so often attributed, was again evident—indeed, nothing but indifference on the part of the public was expected under prevail- ing conditions. Left to themselves, the professional traders brought about what price movements there were, but even ~ nig dealings were conducted with cau- on “For some time past it has been re- marked that prices showed noteworthy power of resistance to attempts to de- press qpotations, and the same fact was in evidence today, though today’s market could hardly be called a criterion, since operations for a decline were not pressed with much vigor — determination. DETAILED REPORT OF DAY'S TRADING IN WALL STREET NEW YORK, March 3.—Gains ranging from material fractions to a full point marked the opening of today’s traiing with a few off-sstting features, mainly in rails and war issues. Speculation was moderate and cautious, however, ‘here being viainly a further disposition to await the outcome 7f developments in Washington.

Future prices rallied and declined many times, but the average range of quotations was slightly higher. The market closed strong and over 2c above yesterday’s finish. The eg > daily cable helped the buyers. It said “Spot wheat was dull and steady. The Gneetene was firm, on fears of higher anitoba offers. Cargoes were steadier, Manitobas and winters were held at 44ed advance, with slightly more inquiry. Plates and Australians are unchanged, with free offers. English country mar- kets are weak. Arrivals are liberal and stocks increasing, and pene are for liberal shipments from Australia this week. The corn market was firm, with ad- vancing spot, and parcels were 3d to 6d dearer. Plate offers are firm, and Ar- gentine advices unfavorable.” Liverpool spot wheat closed unchanged to 1d higher; spot corn unchanged to higher. Corn futures were irregular to a frac- tion lower, despite wheat’s firmness and steady Liverpool cables. Primary re- ceipts were fairly heavy and professiona’ sentiment was bearish. Oats were easiet with corn. Coarse grains closed firm and a sharp fraction higher, in sympathy with wheat. Local wheat receipts were 77,655 bu, against 52,881 bu last year. Corn, 36,006 bu. against 48,000 bu.

Conditions revealed by the early thaws were not favorable. Se- rious reports of winter killing are coming from Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Ok- lahoma. In Texas considerable wheat acreage is being plowed up and the min- imum damage is 50 per cent. The State needs rain badly. Kansas and Nebraska have not revealed actual conditions and the crop wintered well, except for a pe- riod of ice covering. Considering reduced acreage the general prospect is far be- low the preceding two years. Total clearances of wheat were 347,00 bu; flour, 61,000 bu: wheat and flour, 577 000 bu; corn, 80,000 bu; oats, 401,000 bu. St. Loulsg Cash Grain. Cash wheat was steady and dull.
