BERLIN, via London, March 7.—The -War Office announced today that the village of Frernes, in the Woevre, about 11 miles southeast of Verdun, was cap- tured this morning by the Germans. The official statement says: ‘Western front: Small British detach- ments, which penetrated yesterday our trench northeast of Vermelles, were driven out with bayonets after strons artillery preparations. ‘In the Champagne our position. east of Maisons de Champagne, which the French occupied on Feb. 11, was recap- tured in a surprise attack. Two officers and 150 men were taken prisoners. “Following up the effect of important mining operations in the Argonne we pushed our positions northeast of La Chalade, a little forward. | “In the Meuse district the artillery fire on the western bank of the river again became more lively. East of the river it was maintained at medium vio- ‘lence. Apart from engagements of re- connoltering parties, no hand-tce-hand fighting with the enemy occurred. “In the Woevre uistrict the village of I’>*snes was captured by storm early this morning. The French are still hold- ing thebeptntnfew houses on the western boundary of the village. They lost more than 3800 prisoners. “One of our airships last night bom- barded heavily railway establishments at Bar-le-Duc.”’ FRENCH ADMI1 LOSSES ON WEST BANK OF MEUSE Germans Have Taken Forges and a Hill Southwest of e,. ¢ PARIS, March 7.—Further progress for the Germans in their heavy attacks west of the Meuse was admitted by the announcement of the War Office this afternoon, which conceded the loss of hill 265, southwest of Regnevilie, a mile and a half southeast of Forges, nine miles northwest of Verdun, the capture of which by the Germans was admitted last night by the War Office. The of- ficial statement of today says: “Our artillery has continued its bom- bardment of the lines of communication of the enemy to the west of the River Meuse. “Favored by an intense bombardment, German troops have been able to ad- vance along the railroad lines in the neighborhood of Regneville. At the same moment the Germans delivered a very violent attack against Hill No. 25. An entire division took part in this maneu- ver. They were successful in taking pos- session of this hill in spite of the heavy losses inflicted upon them by the fire of our artillery and our machine guna. “We are in possession of the village of Bethincourt and the groves to the east of the Wood des Corbeaux and the Wood de Cumieres, and the heights of Cote de Ole. “Artillery fighting continued actively last night “to the east of the Meuse in the vicinity of Bras and Hardaurmont as well as in the Woevre; in the sector of Fresnes and in the villages located in the foothills.’’ The prevailing view among observers in Paris as to the new turn in the great battle is that the Crown Prince has transferred his main effort to the west- ern bank of the Meuse. The weather continucs unfavorable. The rain and snow keep the earth soft, where it has not already turned into inarsh. The roads back of the Frenci) ‘ine, considering the weather and the use to which they are being put, how- ever, are woud.

When the war opened the boy was at Haileybury School, where he had a greater repu- tation as a football player than as a scholar, although he was regarded as too young for a place on the school’s first eleven. In the school military battalion his superiors reported that he “shows no special aptitude for mili- tary duties,’’ but as soon as the war broke out he offered his services.

HAS $200,000 COLLATERAL Bank of Commerce Has Adver- tised It for Sale Today. Gertrude Mathiason, owner of the P. B. Mathiason Mfg. Co., of 5310 North Second street, in an equity suit against the National Bank of Coinmerce today, asks the court to cancel the vompany’s notes for $40,000 and to re- Store to her collateral valued at $200,00.', which the bank holds and has adver- tised for sale today, on the ground that the bank has charged a usurious rate of interest on the loan. The notes to the bank were executed by the late Peter B. Mathiason, presi- dent of the manufacturing company, who willed the plant to his daughter before his death in December. The sev- eral notes aggregating $40,000 all bear the maximum legal rate of interest, 8 per cent, but it is charged in the pe- tition that the bank has charged $592.43 in excess of the 8 per cent interest, in violation of the laws of the State. Immediately after the death of Math- jason the bank began pressing Miss Mathiason for payment of the notes according to the petition. She en- deavored to get her business affairs straightened out so that she could meet Miss her obligations, but the bank proceeded to advertise for sale the collateral, which consists of $60,000 of the 6 per cent gold bonds of the company, se- cured by a first mortgage on the plart valued at $200,000, and $98,000 of the stock of the company. Miss Mathiason is relying upon. Sec- tion 7184, Chapter 62, of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, as a legal basis fur demanding the cancellation of the notes, the collateral agreement, and the -re- storation tv her of the collateral held by the bank. This section of.the law provides that any interest charge, in excess of the legal rate, shall invalidate the loan. The suit was filed for Miss Mathiason in the name of the manufacturing com- pany by her attorneys J. D. and Loomis C. Johnson. The plant is now shit down as the compeny’s credit has been affected to such an extent that Miss Mathiason cannot obtain money tc operate it. She has been in charge of the pliant, which manufactures fertil- izxers, gige and similar products, sincs her father’s death.

By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, March 7.—Discussing the armed ship issue in the Senate to- day, Senator Sutherland of Utah, a Re- publican member of the Foreign Relz- tions Committee, stood squarely behind the President in his policy in dealing with Germany in the submarine nego- tiations. “I do not want war at any time,” said Sutherland, ‘“‘and I pray God that it may not come now, but I would rather have war with all its sacrifices and suffering than that this nation, with its long history of heroism and glory, should play the poltroon when con- fronted by a supreme national duty, be- cause it places a greater value upon its ease than upon its honor.” “I desire peace,’ the Senator con- tinues, “but a nation, when all other means fail, that will not resent a fla- grant and illegal attack upon the lives of its own citizens is only less detesta- ble than a man who will not fight for his wife and children. And, believing #8 I do about that, if the life of an American citizen is again taken by the illegal and deliberate sinking, without warning, of a merchant ship, unarmed er armed only for defense, I believe that this Government should hold the offend- ing nation to a stern reckoning. I shal] never give my consent to the issuance of a formal and official notice, such as has been proposed, which, if not heeded. would, without minimizing our duty in the least, have the effect of embar- rassing and weakening our moral stand- ing if we should once more he under the sad necessity of seeking reparation fur the destruction of the nves of our people:’’ Legal Status of Armed Ships. Senator Sutherland discussed the le- gal status of armed merchant ships un- der international law, and the relation thereto of the newly developed subma- rine. “The proposition. now insisted. upon, baldly stated,” he declared, ‘‘is simply this, that when a new engine of de- Struction is invented that cannot be made entircly effective without violat- ing the law, the law is ipso facto auto- matically modified. Under these cir- cumstances my own view of the matter is that the new weapon must yield to the law and not that the Jaw must yield to the new weapon. ‘If we concede that the rule no longer applies to snips armed for defense alone, we must be prepared té face a probable condition much more serious than that involved in the destruction of an armed vessel without warning. To concede the right of a submarine to sink a vessel so armed without giving opportunity for crew and passengers to escape in safet will be to invite the sinking of un- armed vessels without warning as well, since it is well nigh impossible for the officers of a submarine to determine in advance whether a given vessel is armed or not. “If, therefore, the commander of 4a submarine claims to act upon appear- ances, we shall never be able to deter- mine whether these appearances justi- fied his conclusion until after the vessel and crew and passengers have gone ¢t» the bottom of tine sea, and in some cases not even then. The result will be that unarmed vessels, while possessing im- munity in theory, will have none in fact. The Crucial Question. “The question next arises—and, in- deed, it is really the crucial question— shall our citizens be Officially advised to forbear from traveling on belliger- ent merchant vessels armed for defense only? or, indeed, shall we go further and forbid their doing so under penalty for disobedience? If I am correct in what I have already said, namely, that these merchant ships have the right to carry defensive armament, it follows that such a ship has the same status as though unarmed, and that the right of a neutral citizen to transport his goods or travel upon either fs the same and not a different right, and that, in fact, is the decision of our own Supreme Court in a great case decided many years ago and never since over- ruled or modified. “If therefore, a citizen take passage upon a ship so armed and lose his life by the sinking of the ship without warning, what must be the contention and claim of this Government? To my mind clearly this: That the citizen in the exercise of a clear right has been deprived of his life by the deliberately illegal act of the belligerent Govern- ment which sent the submarine on its mission of death. I can conceive of no ether position for this Government to assume, and unless it is willing to for. feit the respect of mankind by becom- ing a craven thing, it must be prepared to sustain that position at whatever cost or consequence.”’ Senator Sutherland also opposes anv change in the rule with respect to the sale of munitions of war or arming mer- ehant ships for defense, asserting that any such changes now would be in wun- nemtral act.

Blanke Tea & Coffee Co., in the United States District Court yesterday afternoon, charging that the company placed excessive amounts of sand and clay in pack- ages of ground black pepper, which it put on the market under its guar- antee of strict purity. The infor- mation, prepared by the District At- torney, contained eight counts, speci- fying different customers to whom it is alleged that the aduiterated and misbranded packages were sent out. C. F. Blanke, president of the com- pany, said the comparfy tried to ob- serve the pure food law strictly, and to sell only pure pepper. The com- pany is a large importer, and some- times, Blanke said, a bag of unground peper comes in which is not up to the standard. If any such pepper was sold by the company, he said, it was due to a mistake, which the com- pany wil] rectify. | The company pleaded guilty in 1909 to misbranding packages of coffee. The minimum punishment, for a sec- ond offense, is a fine of $300 on each count and for a third offense, imprisonment is the penalty. MAN KILLED IN 65-FOOT LEAP FROM EADS BRIDGE Passengers o1. Trolly Cars ‘ce Col- linsville Man Jump From Rail of West Approach. Frank Brodick, 21 years old, of Collins- ville, Ill., jumped over the south railing of the west approach of Eads Bridge last night, struck a granite-paved alley, 65 feet below, and died within a few min- utes. A number of persons who were Loarding bridge cars saw the plunge. Witnesses say the man stepped from a Collinsville car, and instead of walk- ing through the turnstile, and out of the car inclosure, he started back east. When a car starter shouted to him that he was going the wrong way, the man ran to the rail and jumped over. Papers bearing the name of his broth- er Joseph Brodick, were found in Bro- dick’s pocket, and when a message of inquiry was sent to Collinsville, Josep Prodick came to St. Louis and identified the body. He said he believed his broth- er must have become confused. He did not believe the leap to death was in- tended, and he said that, so far as he Knew, his brother had no trouble or ill- ness.

By Associated Press. METZ, March 6, via Berlin to London, March 7.—A ring of artillery such as was never before assembled in warfare ‘es gripping Verdun from the north and the east. Every hollow, wood and thick- et within range ofthe fortress—and rnodern artillery is effective at unprece- dented ranges—conceals its quota of guns of all sizes, from the 3-inch field piece up to the biggest of Germany’s giant siege howitzers. The correspondent of the Associated Press, who was permitted to inspect the German positions around Verdun, has never during the present war seen s0 great a ccllection of artillery. It far exceeds that with which a breach was hammered in the Russian lines at Gor- lice and the Dunajec River in Galacia, last May, and the siege gun parks con- centrated at Antwerp and Novogeorsg- jevsk were petty in comparison. The lng row’ of guns firing one benind an- other offer adequate explanation for the rapidity with which the strong French lines were bombarded. . One Battery Behind Another. In one position given over to artillery of middle caliber, hidden in an undula- tion paralleling one front of the forces, the correspondent found batteries ar ranged in a continuous line, with scarce: ly more than 100 yards between the guns. Behind these again in suitable places of shelter, were the big guns, up to the very biggest, and from,the crest of a hill could be seen far td the front fleld batteries whose guns had been pushed forward almost into the infantry line. The day was counted a quiet one, and the attendant officers explained that no particular offense was contemplated. Yet from the batteries near which the correspondent was standing he counted, watch in hand, two shots per gun per minute for a considerable period. How many hundred guns the Germans have assembled around Verdun cannot be told, but it is certain that the drum fire with which the earlier attacks were accom- series of assaults, can be likened, as the work of man, with Niagara and other stupendous phenomena of nature. A picturesque, and at the same time symptomaiic feature of the offensive against Verdun is the array of captive balloons, from which the work of the artillery in part is observed and direct- ed, since the balloons usually are only intermittently aloft. But the corre- spondent at times counted as many af 14 visible at once from a single poini. A long row of gas bags floating like giant sausages outlines roughly the Ger- man tentacle around the fortress. Ger- man aeroplanes were also seen in large numbers. Only once did the French anti-airship guns seem to pay any at- tention to the ‘Jerman aerial scouts. Captive Balloons Busy. The French, too, had a number of ce ptive balloons aloft above the fortress, protected from attack within the charmed circles of girdle forts. The fortress town of Metz is a head- quarters from which to view the wattle of Verdun, the ground between the two fortresses being so narrow that two hours by automobile would bring one to almost any part of the battlefield. For a considerable distance beyond the fron- tier, towagr Jerdun, the countryside shows ni of war. The road. runs through untouched villages and towns, the fields showing evidences of high cultivation. Then comes miles on miles of desolate country secured with intri- cate trenches, Every village has been reduced to a stone pile of ruins by the long range guns of one side or another. The places mentioned in the recent official rM®orts, Douaumont, Beaumont, F'romesey and Etain, for example, ar rotably in ruins—looking as if they had been visited by an earthquake of great magnitude, Douaumont, the village from which the last of the Frenchmen were ejected barely 24 Mours earlier, seemed a particularly peaceful heap of stone. The French apparently were making no attempt to regain it. Not a shot was observed to fall in the town while the correspondent was in the vi- cinity, and almosto ag little attention was being devoted by the French to I'ort Douaumont, only a pillar of black )smoke now and then marking the burst- ing of occasional shells dropped by the French on the summit of the bald hill: Judging again from smoke clouds from bursting shells, the German at- tention was being largely devoted to another fort of the outlining circle of forts in the neighborhood of Douaumont.

There were no indications in the intervening strip nor in the Woevre field of opera- tions that the losses were very heavy Few wounded were being taken to the rear. HOW THE FRENCH ARTILLERY FOUGHT BEFORE VERDUN Officer in Authorized Statement Tells of Heroic Acts of Men Manning Guns. PARIS, March 7.—An artillery of- ficer who took part in the battle of Verdun has been authorized to make the following statement on his ex- periences and observations: “After Feb. 21, when the Germans began the preparation for the attack with that fury which has already been described, we understood that a decisive struggle was about to be en- aged. Our group was then in posi- tion to the Southeast of Haumont wood. <A battery was divided up for flanking purposes on three positions, one to the east of the Haumont wood, one to the south and a_ third to the north of Samogneux. The two other batteries were to the south of Hill No. 312, which lies to the east of Hill 344. Were supported by a bat- tery of the six pieces of ninety milll- meter guns. “We replied at once to the German attack with a curtain of fire to pre- vent as far as possible the enemy in- fantry from opening a path into Our, lines. One of our sections even went forward into the Caures ravine and opened fire at 700 meters. But the Germans, despite enormous losses of men, commenced to overflow on all sides. They arrived at the Caures wood by the tops of the hills which run between the Haumont wood and the Caures wood and they progres- sively invaded these positions, The section, which was trying to retain them kept shortening its fire as they advanced, mowing down entire ranks. New waves replaced those of the Ger- mans who died and the section kept on firing, exhausting its ammunition. It was hard at work when groups of the enemy who had succeeded in penetra'’- ing got behind the guns. Although they had been turned, our artillerymen did not lose their presence of mind. Th¢y blew up their guns and retreated, car- rying off a sergeant who had een wounded. Rain of German Shells. ‘‘A battery of 90-millimeter guns es- tablished at Haumont, although it ‘iad been reached by an infernal fire, val- iantly carried out all instructions giv- en to it. Shells of 30 millimeter caliber from the German heavy guns literally rained around this battery. In less than a minute 13 of them fell around our guns and the battery of 90’s, after hav- ing wiped out a large number of the enemy, was obliged to cease firing. «At this moment a sergeant-major of a Lat- tery of field artillery named Pierrard approached the commander of the gro'p of batteries and said: Commander, my battery of 58's no longer exists. Please employ me elsewhere.’ ‘Very well,’ re- plied the commander. ‘Put yourself at the disposal of the battery of 90's.’ “Pierrard collected the men who had been working with him and brought them to the battery of 90's and opened the fire again and with admirable vigor. He served the pieecs for #8 hours and kept constantly in communication with the commander, demanding ammunition for his duel, a veritably epic duel with the German guns. Unfortunately, it was impossible at last to send him sup- plies. ‘Use up what you have in the way of ammunition,” ordered the com- mander, ‘and then blow up your guns.’ “The enemy was approaching. Their first ranks came so near the guns that Pierrard and his companions had to de- fend themselves with their carbines, Then they began to fire again with the 9's until the moment when their posi- tion became absolutely untenable and they blew up them guns and withdrew. Probably during this movement of fall- ing back Pierrard, brave among 4 mul- titude of brave men, was killed. He disappeared from that moment. He was not the only one to show magnificent devotion to his Country. Anether Inetanmce of Bravery. “Another instance of the cool bravery which animated our artillerymen was given by a battery which was under @ frightful bombardment. One %6-milli- meter German shell killed the Captain, the Sergeant-Major, a Sergeant and five gunners. You imagine that that iiterrupted the work of the others? Not for a moment. As if with one impulse they pulled off their coats to work better, and in their shirt sleeves they redoubled their efforts to intensify thei curtain fire, and to urge on their com- rades. “In the course of the day of eb. & we received an incalulable number of %S-millimeter shells from the Germans on the farm of Mormont and its neizh- borhood.

Four times the gunners, to prevent it from overheating, washed it from their water bottles. When hard pressed finally by the enemy. they removed their breach keys and fell back. In despair, how- ever, at not being able to drag their gun with them, they returned during the night to try to pull it off with their hands. The chief gunner was wounde? in this enterprise which failed. The artillerymen decided not to allow their gun to fall into the hands of the enemy and returned once more to blow it up. They found that it had already been Ge- stroyed, as a 210 milleter shell had in the meantime struck {t.

Possession of the New York World Indicate That Propaganda Is Being Spread by Persons Opposed to the President —Bartholdt’s Activity Is Demonstrated. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 7.—The World this morning prints the tollowin’: Documentary evidence in the possession of the World shows iat the driving force of the Gore resolution and the McLemore resolution is the National German-American Alliance. The clearing house of the Alliance in its congressional cam- paign is conducted by Alphonse G. Koelble at 80 Maiden Lane, New York City. The principal lobbyist in dealing with Congress is T. L. Mar- salis, a New York real estate operator, with offices at 50 Church street. The congressional program of tne Na- tional German-American Alliance com- prises three measures: 1. Refusing passports to Americans traveling on ships of the belligerents. ” An embargo on contraband of war. 3, Prohibiting banks from subscribing war loans. This is the immediate work. Back of it is a comprehensive program for the control of the Republican national con- vention and the defeat of President Wil- son in the interest of the German cause. This plan is known to the inside coterie of German leaders who are in charge of the work as the ‘““Wisconsin idea,’’ be- cause it was formally indorsed by the Wisconsin Staatsverband des Deutsch- Americanischen National Bundes. The viea itself, however, originated with Dr. tlexamer. Bartholdt's Hand Shown. Incidentally, it appears that the re- cent revival of the Champ Clark “hoom” was due to a suggestion from Richard Bartholdt, a former Repub- lican Congressman from St. Louis, who has long been one of the leading representatives of the German propa- ganda in the United States. Among thé members of Congress mentioned in the reports of the chief German lobbyist are: Senator William J. Stone of Mis- souri, who “I believe is opposed to Lansing and Wilson.” Senator Thomas Gore of Oklahoma (Dem.) “who is utterly opposed to Lansing.” Senator James A. O’Gorman of New York (Dem.) “who also is opposed to Lansing.” Senator G. M. Hitchcock of Nebras- ka (Dem.) “who is opposed to Lan- sing.” Senator John W.

Koelble had been to Eu- rope in the summer in the interest of the German cause here. After Koelble’s return a confidential circular was sent out to certain prominent German-Amer- lcans, providing for the secret but com /plete organization of German-Americans as a unit in politics ‘‘for the purpose of influencing Presidents, Senators -nd members of Congress, now, and electing those friendly to us next election.” About this time Henry Weissmann, president of the Deutsch-Americanischer Staataverbund of New York sent out a circular familiarly headed ‘“‘Pro Bono Publico.” It was German and its first paragraph read: “In Folge der ernsten politischen lage all Americanishen burger deutscher abukfunt, servorgerufen durch die fort- Wahrenden underschfertigen und ube- Sranndeten angriffe seitens des Pras- identen Woodrow Wilson, fst es unsere heiligste pflicht, die uns verbriften rechte als freie burger dieses land, auf das ausserste zu vertheidigen.”’ The English of this paragraph jis: “in view of the serious political position of all Americans of German blood, arising from the unjust and unfounded state- ments of President Woodrow Wilson, it is our holiest duty to revenge to the ut- most our curtailed rights as citizens of this country.” Would “Show Nativists.” Then followed an appeal for politi- cal organization, the important para- graphs following: “We must at once assume this duty and through better organization and closer union show the ‘natitivists’ what we can do. All mass meetings protest meetings are useless if we are not in a position to show our strength at the ballot box. Not the united Ger- man societies of New ‘York. not the German societies of the State of New York, nor the national-bund are ina position to reach a good result, unless we arouse the interests of every single citizen and obtain their earnest cO-op- eration. This means in the first place that every German-American fulfil] his duties on election day. We must not forget that, as true Americans, we have a duty to perform. “It is therefore strictly forbidden that the affiliated organizations allow the list of names and addresses of their mem.- bers to be used in any systematic agita- tion by politicians to use same in their election districts and for practical use on election day.”’ The “confidential circular’ which wes an.l ‘sent ont insisted emphatically that ‘‘se- crecy is absolutely necessary for suc- cess.”’ It was suggested that ‘not more than 20 men should be ‘in the know,’ ” and that the money should be raised from ‘“‘the smallest number of contribu. tors.” Out of this circular appeal came the inside organization which Koelble is helping to handle in maintaining tne pro-German lobby at Washington which will exert all its power to prevent the tabling of the McLemore resolution, or, in default of that, try to befog the is- sue as Senaator Gore did in the Senate last Friday. What “Confidential Circular” Is. In English this “confidential circular” reads as follows: CONFIDENTIAL. “Executive work has been done and should continue to be done by organiza- tions openly pro-German or suspected of being pro-German.

Do this tonight, and by morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be e, and three or four more ap- | plications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dan- druff you may have.

L. Marselis, the principal pro- German :obbyist in Washington made his appearance there Jan. 6, the day after the introduction of the original Gore measure, and went to the Con- gress Hall Hotel. The first of the Gore measures, Sen- ate Bill No. 3033, was entitled “A bill to prohibit the issuance of passports for use on vessels of a belligerent country.” This was introduced Jan. 5. That same day Senator Gore in- troduced another biIll,; No. 3084, en- titled “A bill to prohibit belligerent vessels from transporting American citizens as passengers to or from ports in the United States and to prohibit American neutral vessels from transporting American citizens as passengers and contraband of war at one ang the same time.” Jan. 10 Senator Gore introduced a joint resolution, No. 73, “Authorizing and directing the President to inter- dict the exportation of contraband of war to the signatory powers of the Declaration of London, when such powers shall be ascertained to. in- terfering with the neutral commerce of the United States tn articles de- signed as noncontraband of «ewar.” This is the measure that the pro- Germans want adoptea as a means ofr reprisals against Great Britain. ; Letter About Propaganda.

The Stephens bill, to which “Locke” referred in his memorandum to Koelble, were introduced in the House Jan 4, the same day before the Gore bills were introduced in the Senate and had a similar aim. Steph- ens represents the Third Nebraska District. The first of the Stephens measures, N-. 6828, was entiled “A bill prohib- iting the clearance or entry of United States of neutral ships at any port of the United States or its island pos- sessions when citizens of the United States are carried as passengers on ships whose cargo consists wholly or in part of contraband of war.” The second, No. 6829, was entitled, “A bill prohibiting the clearance or entry of ships of nations at war at any port of the United States or its island possessions, when such ships carry as pasengers United States citizens.” The effect of this bill would be to prohibit British, French or Italian ships sailing from Ameri- can ports from carrying American citizens as passengers. Jan. 2 a litle more than two weeks after Stephens had been inter- viewed by “Locke,” he introduced a third bill broadening his first bill. This is No. 10,240, and is entitled, “A bill prohibiting the clearance or en- try of United States or foreign ships at any port of the United States, when citizens of the United States are carried as passengers on ships whose cargo consists wholly or in part of contraband of war.” The German campaign was worked vigorously in Congress as an anti-Brit- ish campaign and on Jan. 12 “Locke” made a further report to his superior in which he frankly revealed the con- fidential attitude of many Senators to- ward the President and the Secretary of State. Another Report Is Made. — ‘» This report was as follows: “Congress Hall, Washington, D. «.,' Jan. 12, 1916. My Dear Mr. Koelble: 1! have seen several members of both the House and the Senate today. I gave! them my usual talk for about % min- utes. Most of them listened attentive- ly. some with just a little impatience. Most of them speak out and say that I have given them some new points, | while others show their interest by un- conscious expressions. “TI believe the situation is here when a large faction of both the Democrats and Republicans are ready to see that the administration shall treat all the belligerents with justice and fairness, and from an American standpoint. They are beginning to realize that the pro- paganda has enabled Lane of Canada and Wilson of Scotiand, with Lansing in the Cabinet. to browbeat Germany and Austria and prevent them from ueing their last weapon, the subma- rine, to force England and her com- bination to let the United States do business with the other half of the world. There is a feeling of suppressed anger among many of the Democrats at Lansing’s action. and if it can be prop- erly handled, many Democrats will come out and denounce it. Since they can see how the commercial interests of this country are drifting, as the action of the State Department is aiding Hngland and her combination to force Germany to get wheat and other cereal territory in Russia and cotton territory in Turkey and produce, copper and other mineral products in the mines of Europe and Asia. In fact, built up a great agricul- AF Smith of Arizona heard me patiently without expression. Borah, a Republic- an, has a fool idea about Americans going everywhere. I think, however, he will change such stuff. Shall see more members of this committee tvo- morrow, both Democrats and Republic- ans. Tillman of the Senate Naval Com- mittee was in his office, but sick; his son, however, listened to me and said he would give his father the sugges- ticns and expressed approbation. Sena- tor Kern agrees avowedly, so does Senator Lewis, both free to say to me: “Our Friends Martine and Hoke Smith.” “Our friend, Senator Martine of New Jersey, also Senator Hoke Smitn, says the Senate will see that the United States will do business with all coun- tries.” I expect to see Senator Works, Cham- berlain, McCumber, Cummins, Clapp and other Senators tomorrow. I have seen Representatives Dillon of South Dakota, Cooper of Wisconsin, Ste- phens of Nebraska, Bennett of New York, Smith of Buffalo, Kinchloe of Kentucky, all of whom want the free- dom of the seas. I saw both Mann and Cannon, who listened impatiently, but most willingly accept my aid and sug- gestions. “I saw Padgett, chairman of the House Naval Affairs Committee. He will fall in line after a while. Expect to see Hay, chairman of the House Military Committee, and Flood of the House Foreign Relations Committee, tomorrow morning. Expect to see sev- eral members of both houses tomorrow and next day. I have left every man I have called upon with the under- standing that I will write him.

Prof. Stern declared that the Germon- Americans had been promised 10 out of the 26 delegates from Wisconsin to the Republican national convention, and the co-operation of the National Bund would be necessary to deliver all the Democratic votes as well as the Re- publican votes in these German organ- izations. “Lie Low,” Bartholdt’s Advice, The ‘‘Wisconsin idea’’ was discreetly referred to by Koelble in a letter to Richard Bartholdt of St. Louis who served 22 years in Congress as the rep- resentative from a district largely Ger- man. Bartholdt wanted information. He did not take Roosevelt's candidacy seriously and said the other Republican candi- dates mentioned were “all good Ameri- cans from our standpoint save possibly Koot.” His advice was to “‘lie’ low’ because ‘‘any noise on our part will but solidify Wilson’s support and strength- er him.’’ In this letter Bartholdt mentioned James R. Mann, the Republican leader of the House, as one of the “good friends.”’ Here is the Bartholdt letter, which was written in December, 1915, in En- glish: ‘Dear Mr. Koelble—Yours to hand. Although I attended the recent meeting of the Republican National Committee in Washington, I could get, even from intimate talks with the lead- ers, but little satisfaction. The fact is, they are at sea themselves. They gen- erally agree to my suggestion, however, that if the Republicans would attempt to play to the same galleries as the Democrats, they would be beaten, be- cause there the latter had the inside track. “Wilson’s assault on the German- Americans was also generally con- demned, but whether they did it only because I talked to them, I cannot say. Of the candidates mentioned all are good Americans from our standpoint, save possibly Root. Teddy’s possible candidacy was not taken seriously and in my judgment nothing can make it so. On the whole, I am not pleased with the situation, and so far there has been little if any disposition to cater to the German vote. I believe it will be best for us to lie low and watch de- velopments. Any noise on our part will but solidify Wilson’s support and strengthen him. “In Congress we have a number of good friends. I mention Webb of North Carolina, Porter of Pennsylvania, Barch- feld of Pennsylvania, Rodenberg of Illinois, Britten of Illinois; Esch, Coop- er, Stafford and Cary of Wisconsin; Shackleford of Missourl.

A week later Barthold wrote again to Koelble suggesting that a Champ Clark boom be started in New York. “It would have to come from non-German Dem- ocrats, of course,’”’ he warned, and ad- ded that “I could probably get some- thing in motion here if the start was made in New York.” A few weeks later the Champ Clark boom was revived in Washington. Bar- tholdt’s confidential letter on Champ Clark was as follows: “Dear Mr. Koelble: Yours to hand. The Wisconsin plan is O K but unfor- tunately the Germans seem to be ta- booed just now, for the reason that the pro-English will refuse to vote for them.

He “Marsalis,” Koelble said, ‘‘has been is actively connected with most of the around to see me often at my office, other German-Amesican organizations [he bas come up to me at meetings ! have addressed and has written me many letters. He'd talk me deaf, dumt and blind, if he had a chance. He's what I call a bug, a ‘white man’ bug, a high tariff bug, a Bryan bug. Cn the war I should sav he was 4 pacificist. “His theory is that white men should not fight against each other. He has divided the earth into zones, and will show you that each zone has its own people. Each people, he argues should stick to its own zone, and he will tell yeu that if a white man goes to a brown man’s zone and begins to lead his life and eat his food, his stomach will change, his color will change, his idea will change. White men, he zays, may fight ogainst brown men, but they shouid not against each other. Then Talk Terms to Germany. ‘He points out, tov, that economic in- jury comes when white men fight against white men. He points out that Germany is beginning to get from other lands, that Germany is beginning ito raise in other lands the things she used to get from us, now that she cannot trade us. Cotton from Mesopotamia is an example, and he has figures by the book about it. He's a high tariff man and believes in the protection of Ameri- can industgles. ‘He is a pacificist, an ardent support- er of Bryan on the score of peace. I think that is where Mr. Gore has been getting his inspiration for his resolu- tion. It-sounds to me like Bryan. For all these reasons you can see Mr. Mar- salis is against the war and for any- thing that promises to end the war. “T have no doubt that he has been in Washington and that"he has beeh urg- ing the passage of these resolutions. When he hears that a man has taken a position in favor of something he’s in favor of he hunts him up and begins to talk to him. He’s quite a conversa- tionalist, as I say. I have no doubt that he had been in Washington. I didn’t know he was back in New York. “But Marsalis has not been represent- ing me or any organization with which I am connected. I did npt know that he was representing anybody but him- self. He’s what I call a ‘bug,’ and ie finds his -own reasons for fighting for or against a thing. As I have Known him Brom time to time—and he got into this war game very early—he has al- ways come to me to talk his own ideas. “The United German Societies have taken no stand on tne Gore and McLe- more resolutions. At our last meeting, in Maennerchor Hall, on Feb. 25, it was proposed that we indorse these resolii- tions, but I advised against it, and mv advice prevailed, so we took no stand on the matter. Advises Against “Mixing In.” “T told them that this was an Ameri- can proposition, and should be fought out so. I said there could be only one interpretation put upon the resolutions, and that was America’s. I said that as an organization there should be no mix- ing in by us, and that if we did it would be interpreted, and rightly so, as inter- ference by German-Americans in some- thing that was an American issue and nothing else. ; “i have had nothing to do with the American Truth Soctety for a long time. and I cannot say what part it may have been taking. But you may have no- ticed that the so-called pro-German or- ganizations have not been active lately. “IT have been saying that we ought not to be controversial. It’s all right to defend one’s self when one is tacked. but in such matters as these one ought not to ‘hunt trouble.” So we B have not been~taking as much part in things as we did. “A year azo the feeling that seemed to be cherished against Germany was dying down.

SICKNESS tT" OM AN AUTHORITY Glass of hot water before break- ‘est daily keeps the doctor away. Sanitary science has of late made rapid strides with results that are of untold blessing to humanity. The ‘atest application of its untiring re- search is the recommendation that it is as necessary to attend to interna! sanitation otf the drainage system of the human body as it is to the drains of the house. Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty. breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flush- ing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning before breakfast, Jrink a glass of real hot water with-a teaspoonful of lime- stone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, bile aid poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary ‘canai beforo putting more food into the stomach _ The action of hot water and lime- stone phosphate on an empty stom- -ach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans ou: all the sour fermenta- tions, gases, waste and acidity and gives vne a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the phosphated hot water is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flush- ing of all the inside organs. The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilfous spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness: others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and_ sickly complexions are urged to get a quar- ter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a prunounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation.—ADV.

A jury in Circuit Judge Koerner’s Court yesterday returned a verdict for $42.37 in favor of the Union Electric Light and Power Co. against Dr. R. H. Flader of 3457 Shenandoah avenue on a Dr. Flader denied that he owed the Dill. 3 Evidence was introduced by the com- pany showing that in January, 1914, it installed a meter on a pole in an alley outside of Dr. Flader’s home for the purpose of keeping a check on the meter in the Flader home, a nine-room residence. In June, 1915, Dr. Flader was notified that there was a difference in the monthly readings of the pole meter and the residence meter, the latter showing the consumption of less electricity. A test was then made of both meters, and they were found to be perfect, it was testified. The meter still remains on the pole, and, according to the company, there has been no difference in the registra- tion as shown by the two meters since m~tification of the checking system was given difference as shown by the two meters between January, 1914, and April, 1916.

DOZEN words of Polish, A probably no one in last audience at» the Shubert Theater understood, gave understanding and charm to all that followed in the action of ‘“‘The Hawk.”’ The sentence, which was lone enough to show the utter strangeness of the language, and not so long as to seem grotesque, meant “‘You are my whole world, and I love you.”’ Whenever the Count George de Das- etta, Hungarian nobleman, talked by telephone with his wife—and it appeared that he made many occasions for such talks—he would follow a few minutes of understandable commonplace with the code sentence, in the Warsaw vernac- ular. Listening to the husband’s end of one of these talks in Paris, Rene de Tierrache, a young Frenchman, asks the Count what the words mean, and the Count tells him. : Later, the same younz Frenchinan, listening with contracted brows the wife’s end of one of the conversations, hears her utter the same words, and asks her what they mean. Her inter- HURD, which night's to | pretation of the sentence is “For heay- en’s sake, don’t be late.” Iwo Kinds of Cheating. The virtuous wrath of the ensuing re- buke establishes the triancie which has aiready been quite clearly outlined. Rene scolds the Countess as her ' band, who humors and indulges her, has never she takes his harsh words thankfully. That | should tel! him an untruth, in a mat- ter which was none of. his. business, appears to tifis interloper much worse than that he and she both should act a lie. before her husband, to the end that he may presently steal her from her lawful mate. This theft is to be com- mitted under the forms of law, for it is divorce and a second marriage, and not a more immediate and precarious rela- tion, which the Frenchman plans to bring about. And when the Frenchman, soon after, hus- done, and almost she sees the Countess slipping an ace to her husband, to help him ‘‘trim”’ a rich American at poker, his anger boils over. What he says to the Countess, as soon as he gets her alone, so upsets her that she informs her husband that he need er tS i li et ep t MAY, STERN & CO.

UGA ARE ah BP Bo Fae ga eiaea RUSSIAN BALLET BEST DESURIBED BY WORD ‘GORGEOUS’ Performance of Dancers at Odeon Lives Up to Adver- tisements of Troupe. By RICHARD L. STOKES. O many hyperboles of advertise- S ment preceded the arrival of Serge de Diaghileff’s Ballet Russe Company, which began an en- gagement of four performances last night at the Odeon, that many in the packed and brilliant auditorium were frankly prepared for disappointment. But they discovered that for once lite tle more than the truth had been foretold; they beheld and Hheard a gorgeous ensemble of dancing, pat- tomime, music, scenery and costuming —with all these arts at the almost intolerable tension which modern nerves, speeded up by the railroad, telephone and automobile, demand for their excitement. It is true that no dancing of stellar magnitude, such as St. Louisans have witnessed on a few previous occa- sions, was presented. Mme. Lydia Lopokova, premiere ballerina, re- vealed flashes of felicitous technique and girlish charm; but she appeared to lack the aliriness of footing, the flame-like swiftness of motion, which make up the genius of Anna Pavlowa. Mme. Flore Revalles is a mime rather than a dancer, and Mme. Lubow Tchernicheva, winner of a prize beauty contest in Moscow, was chiefly pleasing in a pictorial sense. Men Better Than Women. The dancing of the men principals was, on the whole, better than that of the women, but none of them need cause Mordkine to go into eclipse. Alexandre Gavrilow, a brilliant pupil of the great Nijinsky, performed the evening’s most difficultand attractive dancing in “Le Spectre de la Rose.” Adpiph Bolm is a youth of abounding vitality and energy; but last night he had little scope for the finesse of his art. Romantic and almost ef- feminate in appearance, graceful and light of foot, Leonide Massine offered dancing that was more or less simple, and that by no means exemplified the amazing virtuosity of the Russian school. But dancing is only one element, and perhaps not the most important, in the new art-form known as the Diaghileff Ballet, and it is by its sumptuous whole that it is to be judged. The concensus of opinion seemed to be that for magnificence of musie, richness of scenery and cos- tumes, eloquence of miming und poig- nant dramatic effect, it was an unpre- cedented production; and one that, despite long waits between ballets, which consumed almost half the evening, was well worth the $5 stand- ard of prices. A Fanfare of Colors. The curtain rose upon Leon Baskt’s masterpiece of scenic art, the set- ting for “Sheherazade.” The eye was beset by a fanfare of colors so clan- gorous as to seem to make the founda- tions of the Odeon vibrate. Emerald, indigo and geranium, the leopard’s spots and scales of the serpent, black, rose, vermillion and triumphant orange, were all shrieking to be heard, and shrieked in harmony. “Against a lugubrious green I placed a blue full of despair,” says the art- ist; and in the midst arose two golden columns that appeared to glow with their own fire, like molten metal. Im such a setting, the actors in the prelude to “The Arabian Nights,” ful- filled their tragedy to the accompani- ment of Rimsky-Korsakow’'s pierce- ingly delineative music. Mme. Re- valles, Princess of Samarcande, was a woman doomed to death from the first glance, so diseased was she with passion, so consumed to a pallid shell by the devouring lusts within her breast. A haughty lord of the harem was Serge Grigoriew, as Shariar, King of India and China; and the hatred and suspicion of the fixed stare of his brother—portrayed by M. Jazwin- ski—was a triumph of facial expres- riveness. The King and his brothe: depart on the hunting trip which is used as a ruse to trap his wives in their infi- delity. Their backs are no sooner turned before the women, in a bewilder- ing maze of dancing, surround the dod- dering and base old Chief Eunuch— played admirably by 76-years-old Enrico Ceccehetti—and plead with him to loose the slaves from their dungeons. He yields, the black doors swing open and forth leaps a swarm of negroes. In the European production these were jet black; last night, in deference to the American race problem, they were bleached to mulattoes. A Primitive Spectacle. Most brutal and savage of them was Le Negee, favorite slave of the Prin- cess, portrayed by Adolph Bolm. With one enormous bound he was in the arms of the Princess; then, in the ecstacy of freedom and passion, he raced about the stage in amazing leaps and dizzy whirls. One could see his jaws writh- ing in his animal transports; the spec- tacle was as primitive and ferocious as the jungle, Then, at the height of the orgy, ap- pear the ruthless figures of the King and his brother. Guards with naked scimitars dash in, and the revels are turned into a shambles. Soon only the Princess ig left alive. With swords hanging on all sides above her head and daggers pointing at her heart, she crawis to the King and kisses his hand. Even he is almost overcome by her si- lent pleading, but his inexorable brother points out the dead favorite on the floor. Then, at the King’s command, she stabs herself. A story of appalling decadence and vice, as told in words; but im the per- formance much of the sense of shock was numbed by the beauty of the set- ting in which it was enveloped. even at the height of its depravity, there was a certain redeeming delicacy. tor instance, when the negro slave caressed the Princess wigh pawing hands, his] | demeanor had a sort of awe and w on- der which relieved it of too much gross- nes¢ Like the change from night to day we the next ballet, ‘‘Le Spectre de la Rose,’ @ virginal romance of a maiden who falls asleep and fancies that her rose turns into the lover of her dreams One would not think the same artist designed the scenery for this and for *Shehera- zade,"’ for here Bakst's setting was as delicate as the action. A spacious bed- room, in the pale colors of innocence, and through the great windows a sight of rose bushes in scarlet bloom! Mnie Lopokova was charming as the maiden, although her dancing left something to be desired; and Gabrilow won the danc- ling honors of the evening as the lover in his rose-colored costume. The in- tense reality of the dream to the girl was figured in the vigorous rhythms cf Weber’s “‘Invitation to the Dance,” ro- bustly orchestrated by Berlioz. Another Great Scenie Effect. A setting rivaling that of “Sheher- azade” in barbaric splendor was re- vealed in the third ballet, “Le Prince Igor,” from Borodine’s opera of that name, which received its first per- formance in America this season at the Metropolitan. The scenery was designed by L. Roerich, a.pupll of Bakst; and its chief note was a blind- ing scarlet, befitting the | military camp of the Polovsti, a tribe of Turk- ish invaders of Russia in the eleventh century. Here took place a war dance of the utmost wildness, fierceness and en- ergy, with Adolph Bolm again as the wildest and most savage of the Tar- tar warriors. Nothing could surpass the primitive abandon and vigor of his leaps and bounds; it was a spec- tacle of unbridled savagery and bru- tal energy that brought a sting to the nerves. Equally stinging was the tremendous music of Borodine, heard for the first time, and played by the splendid orchestra’ led by the Swis7 conductor, Ernest Ansermet. Another contrast was the final bal- let, *“Carnaval,”” a_i visualization of Robert Schumann's whimsical and poetic piano suite of the same name. The scenery—again by Bakst—was a subdued gray, with two stiff settees of the “’thirties placed against the wall. The costumes were the crino- lines, plush coats and stovepipe hats of Schumann’s time. The leading dancers and actors were Mme. Lopo- kova as Columbine, Mme. Tcherni- cheva as Chiarina, Mme. Wasilewska as FEstrella—the original of whom LOOK AT CHILDS TONGUE WHEN SICK, RUSS OR FEVERIH Remove poisons liver, bowels, Hurry, mother! from little stomach, Give ‘California Syrup of Figs’? at once if bilious or constipated.

Director Ansermet’s work with his orchestra of 65 was such as to merit all praise. It is in large part an orchestra of virtuosi; though agsembled in this country’ a few weeks ago they play together with the emoothness and finish of many years of association. Ansermet is a conductor of the convulsive school and the wild- ness of his gestures fascinated many an eye. But the orchestra knew exact- ly what he meant, and joined in the applause when he shared in a curtain call after ‘‘Prince Igor.”’ The matinee this afternoon begins with a repetition Of “Carnaval” and adds three new ballets, ‘“‘Soliel de Nuit,’ with music by Rimsky-Korsakow that) has never been played here; ‘‘La Prin- cesse Enchantee,” with music by Tschaikowsky; and the famous sen- Fation, ‘“‘Cleopatre.’’ Tonight, “Sheh- erazaae”’ and Prince Igor’’ will be re- peated, with the famous ‘“L’Apres- midi d’un Faune” and “Les Sylphides.”’ Every man, woman and child in the eity who has any sort of foot trouble whatsoever should take advantage of the unusual opportunity which we offer this week.

CHUBB ENFILADES DEFENSE SPEAKERS As Pacifist He Bombards Army of Preparedness Two Days After Its Evacuation. ’ Percival Chubb, apostle of unprepared- ness, showed the Brotherhood of the Second Baptist Church last night how a wholly unprepared pacifist can bom- bard, with weird and wonderful pro- jectiles, the army of preparationists two ‘days after its withdrawal. Getting the range of the positions occupied by the Mayors’ Defense Con- ference Friday and Saturday, Chubb enfiladed tnerm with ‘big drums,” *vaudeville of mayoralty,’’ ‘‘sideshow,” *cool effrontery,” ‘“‘picnic on prepared- ness,” “smell of plutocracy,” ‘‘atmos- phere of plutocracy,’’ ‘‘scented snob- bery,”’ “‘preposterous,’’ “‘positively assi- nine,” “hectic condition’ and some smaller explosives. Chubb was down for the defensive in a debate on “Preparedness” with George S. Johns of the Post-Dispatch, but was ' permitted to open fire first and imme- fw evgre ; = LP. or i & f. at . i ¢ x = diately adopted the offensive defensive. Beating of Big Drums. St. Louis, he said, had had a beating of big drums during the past week dur- ing the vaudeville of mayoralty, who, with cool effrontery, left their jobs to give a sideshow and voice public opin- fon on the. preparedness issue. ‘“‘As a citizen,’’ he said, “I protest against the Mayor of St. Louis speaking in his representative capacity on this question. As Mr. Kiel, citizen, he is entitled to havé an opinion and express it, but he is not put into office to repre- sent me and undertake to express my views. Let him stick to his job.”’ Chubb then picked off one by one the leaders of the New York ‘“‘invaders,”’ who came here to hold a picnic on pre- paredness. There was the young Mayor of New York, who loved to go soldiering, he said; a Vanderbilt, one of the House of Morgan; a Van Rensselaer, a Wick- ersham. ‘‘How do you Ifxe that smell President s Envoy and His Wite on Their Arrival From Europe COL.

It was something like an impertinence for men of such character to arrogate lead- ership to themselves. Having blown up the principal acto7s, he turned his guns on their cause. Pre- paredness, he said, would be the most disastrous step the country could take. Did anyone suppose that Great Britain would permit the United States to catch up with her in navy building? The thing was preposterous, positively assinine. It was the result of a hectic condition. Johns Chides Chubb. Johns chided Chubb for coming pre PRESIDENT TAKES GUL.

JOSEPH Unit auR. April 10, 1907. Post-Dispatch Circulation Average for the Year 1915: Ouly” 349,828 2023743 Daily Equaled Only 1 Only by THE ARMY BILLS IN CONGRESS. The essential features of the Senate bill for greater land forces are duplicated in the House bill with some differences in details. Bach provides for an enlarged regular army and for a national guard of better training and increased gth. Each institutes a “reserve,” a sort of light military zone between the reg- éc| ular army and the militia—a transfer station from the latter to the former by which the one may gain strength without incurring the consti- “i tutional limitations of the other. Did ex-Secretary Garrison quarrel with Con- '! gress over a name and the particular place in the program on which an emphasis was to be placed? Apparently he did. What he proposed, as a “continental army,” the bills at the two ends of the Capitol propose as a “reserve.” Mr. Garri- son’s “continental army” was to be recruited from among civilians as well as men of training and hence might have been made available in large force sooner than the congressional “re- serve,” which is to be composed of men who have already passed through the school of the national guard and the regular army. But the two plans are not dissimilar. The reserve of the Senate bill will even make’a place for civilian volun- teers, though this provision is subordinated. The many hundreds of thousands of men which both Senate and House bill are said to provide for national defense look formidable énough. But, of course, the expected army is an army on paper. The figures are only estimates. The important thing is the plan of organization. How many men would offer their services under Ven- ate, House or any other plan is as yet problem- atical. Unless there has been a change in the attitude on the importance of national defense—unless the nation has had a new birth in patriotism and preparedness—not merely the Senate and House plans but all other plans that might be laborious- ly elaborated will prove a failure because of the distaste’ of young men for military service and ‘the indifference of such young men and their emrployers to the country’s needs. = = een That the House of Silence should have been made an American envoy speaks well for U.

Average OMG FOUR SUNDAY Newspapers in the UNITED STA LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE RN : The President’s Patriotic Stand. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It is indeed gratifying to read your masterly editorials in just defense of our chief exmdcutive on the stand he has taken with regard to the armed ship controversy. How refreshing, in marked contrast to the pitiful, attempt of some of your contemporaries, locally &fid nationally, to discredit and denounce him. This big, broad-minded, discreet patriot has won the respect and veneration Of all true Ameri- cans by his steadfast devotion to duty and his firm adherence to the fundamental principles of right. Struggling bravely under the herculean task of maintaining the peace and honor of a nation under heart-rendMmeg difficulties and against ob- stacles that strain human endurance to almost the breaking point, he arises, calmly, fearlessly, and urges the impassioned, prejudiced mass: who would violently throw him down in the dust of disrepute, to continue their shameful tirade, that the world may see them in their’true light. And yet there are men within. our. borders, clear-minded, capable men—more is the pity—who cruelly and deliberately brand him as spineless! And what is at the root.of it all? Partisanism! That great American evil which *noble Washing- ton warned this nation against at the zenith of his illustrious career. After all has been said and done, posterity, quite unaware, perhaps, of the shameful tirade indulged in by some of their ancestors against this noble patriot, will feveregce his name and write it down beside our other countless heroes. Men who, in their era, endured, just as he en- dures, the bitter pangs of political hate. Hats off, gentlemen! Hats off to Old Glory and—our President! E. F. HAVEMANN. The Crisis in Congress. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. T want to express to you my personal apprecia- tion of your fearless editorial under “Stone’s Submarine Surrender.” Real Americans, of what- ever*descent, are with the President for the law and the honor of the country. Now is the op- portunity for men at Washington who have been only politicians to join the statesmen in the line of duty. APPRECIATIVE READER. New Haven, Mo. ‘What Editor Metcalfe Said. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. One report of the Odeon mass meeting last night represented me as calling Messrs. Bryan and Ford “hybrids” who do not know what they are talking about.”. Later issues of other papers re- peat this erroneous quotation. May I ask you to do me the justice to say that I used no epithets and made no attack upon these gentlemen. On the contrary, as I am sure you will be informed’ by men generally who heard my address, I recog- nised the good qualities of the two ' gentlemen. When I mentioned Messrs. Bryan and Ford, some- one from the audience shouted, “Oh, forget them.” I réplied “we cannot afford to forget or treat lightly the wholesome reforms Mr. Ford has in- troduced for the benefits of his working men or the great educational force Mr. Bryan has been in leading’ the young men of the country along moral lines.” Aside from my réplies to the ar- gument of these gentlemen, this is the only refer- ence I made to them. I am sure you will under- stand that it is not right for the reading public to rest under the impression that I employed epithets in referring to two distinguished gen- tlemen, when, in truth, I actually paid tribute to both of them.

Since the Civil War, perhaps, there has been no time when attempts at. cheap humor of this variety were more out of place. Penalties for a sense of fitness so mistaken may perhaps be left to such hands as those of the organized public school teachers of Chicago, who promptly adopted indignant resolutions con- — the wretched appeal to the groundlings. = * THE NEW WAR SECRETARY. The selection of ex-Mayor Newton D. Baker of Cleveland as Secretary of War will be particu- ican political parties. He is a type of the men who measure success in public life by the quality of the service ren- dered the people and was one of the leaders of the new politics that prepared the revolt against reaction and accomplished its downfall. His de- cided inclination toward progressivism is direct- ed by practical judgment and ‘a trained intellect. The civilian Secretary of War is not supposed tc be an expert on military matters. The merit of an appointment depends on the probable capac- ity of the appointee as a general administrator and under this test Mr. Baker ought to be highly satisfactory. It is a department of infinite routine and his 12 years of experience in positions of municipal trust in Cleveland may be assumed to have qualified him for prompt, wise decisions and an orderly dispatch of public business without slavishness to the red tape that so often has ob- structed action with harmful effects on national interests. That the leaders of Mr. Wilson’s party will be pleased over a selection that designates an Ohio man as head of what perhaps may be the most important department under the Government dur- ing coming months of preparedness measures is a minor feature of the appointment and still one not to be ignored. Dr. Eliot says the high schools are glaringly lacking. It’ seems our umpreparedness is not merely a military matter. = > —+ COOL. HOUSE SPILLS THE BEANS. The latchstring to Col. House’s secret informa- tion and innermost thoughts hangs out to the pub- lic, justly entitling him to the sobriquet of Col. Open House. Returning from his mission as President Wilson's special envoy to Europe, the Colonel invites the American people into his con- fidence and unbosoms himself in the most enlight- ening way upon the war situation and our rela- tions, diplomatic and otherwise, with the warring Powers. To a representative of the press and people at Washington, Col. House spoke as fol- lows (we are authorized to quote him literally): “Good morning.” In response to the question wasn’t it a pleas- ant day? he answered, “Yes, very pleasant—so far.” At breakfast, being accompanied by the press, Col. House, in the presence of the aforesaid, re- sponded to a waiter’s direct question as to his boiled eggs: “I like "em medium.” Whether this meant that his liking was medium, that is, indif- ferent, or indicated the degree he preferred them, is a question open to conjecture. The statement that he likes ‘em medium does not preclude his liking them hard and soft also. However that is not absolutely vital. It is more to the point that presently when the representative of the press, wishing to set his watch, asked the Colonel what time it was, the Colonel, having pulled out his watch, hesi- tated and replied: “You tell me first.” It will be construed as highly significant that Col. House stated expressly that he “intended to see some personal friends in Washington before leaving for New York.” The plural “friends” in- cluded the President—but whom else? The Colo- nel is not so explicit as he might’ be About minor and unessential details. And there are some lengths to which even he larly gratifying to a large element in all Amer-| ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCE affairs. We cannot give full credence to this Washington dispatch: It was understood today that he expressed great admiration for the way American dip- lomats abroad were carrying on their work. This is an obvious injustice to the Colonel which must have resulted from the reporter's misunder- standing. +$¢o¢ "PREPAREDNESS VS, UNPREPAREDNESS. | To prepare the United States for adequate de- fense would cost about 1-15 of one per cent of its wealth. Is this too. much to pay for insurance against war or defeat in the event of war? The man who advocates unpreparedness be- cause he thinks war improbable is like the man who refuses to insure because he has never had a fire and hopes never to have one. Shall U. 8. stand for unprepared states? The woman who refuses tq raise her son to be a soldier for her country’s defense has no right to expect the soldier son of another woman to defend her and her mollycoddle son. "= = ~~ Fv EMBARGO ON WOMEN LIFTED. The International Institute of Germany, with its center in Berlin and branches in many other large cities of the empire, has at last been com- pelled to open its doors and honors to women. That institute was founded a little over 60 years ago specifically to equip hotels with a personnel that is competent in foreign tongues and manners. German hotels all drew their employes from this institute, which gives a four- year course to higher employes and a two or one year course to lower grades. In latter years sanitariums, and summer re- sorts, even boarding houses got their service people from there. The institute trained porters, janitors, waiters, desk clerks, stewards and even chamber men; besides hotel managers, boarding house man- agers, etc. A specialty has been stenographers and telephone operators. At the end of the course there is a strict ex- amination both as to knowledge and manners; and if that is “successfully passed a diploma is given, which opens a ready way to employment. Thus far the management steadily refused to admit any woman to the course or the examina- tions. With the beginning of the new year, though, this resolution has been radically altered; and now the great majority of pupils are women. Some women have even been admitted to the examinations without having passed through the course, and have been given diplomas. The Berliner Tageblatt which reports the cir- cumstance claims that the demand for women employes of all grades is so great that the insti- tution cannot fill all the demands made upon it. WILL THEY DEMONETIZE GOLD? Denver reports $407,000,000 gold in her mint, not to mention $60,000,000 in silver. This is only an item. The big total of gold in this coun- try is fairly staggering—and more coming. Most if not all. that Europe has threatens to pour into our coffers. Suppose that having shipped us all of their gold, the great Powers now at war should con- clude when peace arrives to demonetize gold— horrible thought!—what would happen then, Mr. Bryan? = = _ i a A WHEN DESERTERS SHOULD QUIT. German bankers have lent money to bellig- erents in the past without affecting the neutrality of their country. So have British and French and other bankers. They lent money to us dur- ing our unpleasantness on an unsentimental per cent basis that left neutrality unaffected. But when American bankers lend money to European belligerents to pay for foods and other commodities bought in this country, it “destroys even the semblance of neutrality in the United States.” That is, it does according to Congress- man R. N. Page of North Carolina, who is a brother of Ambassador Page and ought to know better. Because he is out of harmony with the President, Congressman Page has declined a re- nomination and will retire from Congress. But it is at présent that his attitude causes anxiety. A year from now the crisis may be over. Why doesn’t he retire now? Leader Kitchin, who is from Mr. Page’s State, may also decline a renomination, it is said. Why doesn’t he retire now? = = — Getting the hang of annual art competition ought not to be difficult. = = * ae ee THE GERMAN PEOPLE AWAKENING. The fact that our people of all social strata have gone to the front and are doing yeo- man’s work for the fatherland, without look- ing to the right or the left, is not to be taken 2s a proof that all is right with Germany. In summing up the work of the late meeting of the Reichstag, the Berliner Tageblatt, in the above quoted words, sounds a warning. The Socialists, of course, the paper states, would love to tear down the entire fabric and rebuild it according to their notions. But even the “lower strata of the population, that are not afflicted with socialistic ideas, are.in a state of ferment; and drift nearer and nearer towards the absolute individual voting power.” This condition is not an outgrowth of the war; it had “nearly ripened into overt action during the years of peace.” The war and its exigencies of enforced restric- tions of individual liberties, its distress and its sorrows, has for a time outroared the growing clamor at home. But the Reichstag session lent voice to the undertone; and it would be stupid to say with the old conservatives: “We are as al- ways, all right.” One of the occasions for the outbreak of that voice, says the writer, was the demand by the Government on the Reichstag to pass the new tax bill without knowing its content, and out of sheer confidence in the Government. Not only the socialistic members demanded to know for what they were asked to vote, but a surprising number of others echoed the demand for light. Even those who finally acquiesced were loud in the denunciation of covert methods; and the fact bespeaks the coming attitude of the German peo- ple with regard to government and Government Oe ete Oa ee re eee teat \ TUESDAY EVENING, 1 MARCH q 1916.__ ee SPOle S POLIT Ie IN THE CITY HALL TRENCHES.

I ‘ST.LOUIS POST- DISPATCH TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 7, 1996. te Re Kauff: ‘Exercising the Intelligence Enlarges the Brain, Not JONES NAMES NEW CAPTAIN EACH DAY: NO JOBS CLINCHED Rivals for Different Positions “J ake Turns at Handling Teams in Practice. MANAGER ACTS AS ‘UMP” “With Eddie Plank Browns’ Leader Spends His Time Cor- recting Weaknesses. By W. J. O’Connor. Post-Dispatch Staff Correspondent, PALESTINE, Tex., March 6.— Fielder Jones climbed into the man- agerial seat, yesterday, picked up the reins and reached for the whip, there- by revealing for the first time since the Browns left home, that he really was among those present. Prior to yesterday ’s nine inning game, Jones played a deep thinking part. He will now go in for the heavy stuff, push- ing everybody else off the stage. _ Jones made nis appearance yesterday disguised as an umpire and he will continue as such during the remainder of the fungo games here. His assistant is Eddie Plank, who renders base deci- sions (literally and figur: atively speak- ing) and between them they hope to iron out many of the kinks in ‘the Brown scheme of play. It matters little that Ward Miller’s team defeated Bert Shotton’s men, 6-4, Jones has hit upon the plan of having the rivals in each position captain th: respective teams each afternoon. it is the privilege of these captains to pick their men and it is important to parenthetically state here that Ward Miller yesterday picked Jimmy Austir: lor third base although he had his choice of Deal or Pepper Jim. Keeps Them on Their Toes. But Jones believes that by having those men who are fighting each other for a berth on the permanent Browns command the rival nines in practice xames he can work up enough interest to get the desired results from tne daily collisions. Today he announced that Johnny Lavan and Ernie Johnson will be in charge and this is considered an unusual honor for the diminutive shortstops, inasmuch as all Pales- tine is observin “Phil Ball Day,” shops closing and music being served as a side dish to those who attend and pay at the gate. The hospitable little town intends to do itself proud. But we are concerned most about Jones. Up to this time he has “heen almost a disinterested bystander. Now, knowing that the men are in shape to cut loose, he has taken charge and his idea is to umpire each practice gre He watched the pitchers like a aw He's fiendish in his desire to develop his hurlers as fielders. He can be heard shouting instructions on every 4 os as to where his mouadmen should to back up. With him the idea of pitching that ball past the batters is by no means the least of a pitchers duty. He must do defensive work as well. Plank, who has seen service in the Mack school and also under Jones, is busy on the bases, c@rrecting the faults of both the runners and the bagmen. Between them, they have the most’ difficult task in baseball. Jones Corrects Weaknesses. By stationing himself behind pitcher, Jones is able not only to a iine on the hurlers but also on the batters. He knows the weakness of those men who were with him last Season and he's testing the weakness of the men he inherited from Rickey. Jones’ pet philosophy is that al- most every player spends his time foolishly showing off his strong points. The failure of many young players, he contends, is explained by the fact that they do not devote their time to correcting their faults. If he knows their faults they wil! have lit- tle time on this trip to display their strong points. Tf it’s a batter who is weak curve balls, Jones sees to it that gets nothing but curve balls, if can't hit a low, fast one he will feqg nothing else. ~~, the get on he he be In yesterday's game the outstanding fea- ture was the work of Ernie Johnson, who went into the box score with a lam ex. Johnson is regarded by persons who fotiowad the unes of the Federal League as one of the best base runners turned out by the defunct organization.

The Webster High Scnool quintet will attempt to close the most suc- cessful basket ball season in the school's history, with a victory over the Wellston High five, in the latter's zymnasium, tonight. A defeat of the Wellston tossers will give Webster a clean slate of 14 victories and no defeats, besides bringing to the red and white quint, the undisputed coun- ty championship. | The team, under the Coach Roberts, has met 4nd defeated every five of prominence ‘in the neighboring suburbs and in only one of 13 contests was pressed hard. This was the second game against the Kirkwood High. In the first game with Kirkwood, Coach Roberts’ charges won 35 to 16. The second, however, was closer contested, Webster barely nosing out a 27 to 26 victory. Another notewor- thy conquest of the season is a 33 ov ot the local Interscholastic League. Cleveland won one game from Central and another over a weakened Mc- Kinley quint. The regulars of the five are Kenneth Hagemen and Shelby Lacey, forwards; Al- lan Lincoln, center. anc Donald Russe]! and Capt. Hirt Booth, guards. The tea cially an offensive five. having tallied points in the season's play. However, fact that the opponents tallied but 207 m ers attests that it was also some nifty fensive machine also. That would leave an everage score of 42 podirats to 17. Chief among the team’s point snarers is Allan Lincoln, the center. Lincoln has tal- lied 214 points, or seven more than the total made by the opponents of the Webster team. Lincoln is rated as the ball player in the county. The Webster lads are favored to close their season tonight in a blaze of glory. Teli- ston was met earlier in the season and de- feated. 33 to 9. Unless the five has greatly improved, there seems to be little cause for worry among Coach Roberts’ charges. The record of the teams is as follows: Webster High..... 38 | Cleveland H. 8S... 2 Webster High..... 51!

Charley Peterson, backer of Pierre Maupome, the Mexican, was notified to- day by the Brunswick-Balke company that the Mexican had officially been se- lected as the next opponent for Charles Ellis, the new champion for the three- cushion title. Peterson has written Ellis a letter ask- ing him to make the match one of 200 points, to be piayed in four blocks, 100 points in Indianapolis, the city said to be preferred by the champion, and the other half in St. Louis. Allen Wins His Second - Match in Cue Tourney, Beating Chapman, 100-50 CHICAGO, March 7.—J. Ul. Chapman, the local player, had lost four games in a row im the pocket billiard championship tourna- ment and seemed far outclassed until ves- terday. when Chapman surprised the crowd in the second matinee contest by lowering the colors of a former champion, Ed Ralph, 100 to 65, in 26 innings. Jim Matsuro, also of Chicago, failed to ehake the Jinx that has been on his trail since the tournament opened and lost his fifth straight game when Charlies (Cowboy) Weston took his measure, 100 to 91, in 25 innings. Chapman ran against a snag in the evening when he encountered Champion Bennle Alien of Kansas City and was beaten 100 to 5O in 19 innings, Frank Taberski of Schenectady, N.

BOYS HAVE MET BEFORE The Little Hebrew Boxer Rather Easily Outpointed His Op- ponent Then. By Harry S. Sharpe. Georgie Witt will be Harry Kaba- koff’s opponent at the Future City Athletic Club tonight. Kabakoff had been expected to meet Eddie Coulon, but the latter was ordered to bed by his physician yesterday morning, as it was found that Coulon was devel- oping symptoms of pneumonia. Witt had been training for a match wtih Bill Amsten and is in good condition. He was the only available substitute at Kabakoff’s weight that seemed likely to give the Ghetto champion a battle, so he was immediately offered the bout by Tommy Sullivan, and gladly accepted it. Witt has an idea he can beat Kabakoff, though they have met before and Kabakoff rather easily out-pointed him. They will box tonight at 116 pounds.. Much regret is felt because Coulon is unable to keep the engagement with Kabakoff, as a meeting between these two undoubtedly would have developed a scientifically boxed match that would have been very pleasing. Coulon’s only appearance nhere was when he boxed “Young” Zulu Kid at the Coliseum on December 4, 1914. He won that bout from the Zulu and proved himself to be @ very fast and clever boxer, using a left jab, right cross and straight counter, and a dangerous uppercut. Since his ap- pearance here a little more than a year ago Coulon has established a good record, and many of the local fans were anxious to see him perform. He probably will be matched again by ommy Sullivan soon as he re- covers from his illness. Other Bouts Carded. While Coulon will be missed, his ab- Sence will not interfere with some other very good entertainment arranged by Suliivan. For the sé€mi-final he. has matched Billy Cole, the red-haired Win- nipeg boxe:, with Joe Zeman for eight rounds at 128 pounds. Zeman is a strong and fairly clever boxer, who should be — to make !t decidedly interesting for ole, Bill Amsten, lately discovered eccen- tric boxer, who can create more laughs in the ring than anyone else seen nere, is down for a six-round bout with “Young” Wilson of Fast St. Louis, at 116 pounds. Anisten will be remembered a3 the young comedian who boxed Jimmy Curtis last week, stood on his head, drank out of hia bucket, had only vol- unteer seconds, puri on his own gioves, and did a lot of other things that con- vuised the spectators. At that, he won his bout. Harry Murell and “‘Buster’’ Brown will appear in a six-round preliminary at 142 pounds. Schneider to Box at Barracks. Tomorrow night, at Post Hall, Jefferson Barracks, “‘Young’’ Benny, recently ar- rived from New York City, accompanied tv some very flattering press notices, will box Leo Schneider eight rounds at 118 pounds. Another bout that ig sure to be a good one will take place between Willie Colona and Charies (‘Red’) Johnston, eight rounds at 115 pounds. These two boast aN close and interesting beut at the South Broadwa,/ . C. a week ago last Saturday night, and Colona was returned the win- ner on points. Owing to extreme nervous- ness, Johnston did not do so well on that occasion as he is capable of. It was his first professional bout, while Colona was boxing his second. Johnston displayed a very bad habit of hitting with the open glove. When he has learned to avoid this he wil do much better, as it is a viola- tion of the rules, for which he might be disqualified shoul@ the referee be so in- clined. “Young” Allen, a member of the Bight- eenth Infantry, will oppose Al Farnum in the preliminary. a six-round bout at 147 pounds. Eddie Randali will officiate as referee. General admission will b served seats 50 cents and 7 will be furnished by the Jefferson Bar- racks Military Band Pappas to Face Herman. Pappas has been matched to box Pete (*‘Kid’’ erman, the New Orleans sensation, who recently boxed Champion “Kid Williams a 20-round draw. The bout will be for 15 rounds, and will take lace at Atlanta Ga., on March 14. The oxers have agreed to weigh ih at 116 pounds ringside, A little more than a week ago Pappas boxed Roy Moore at St. Paul, Minn.. and Pappas ciaims to have been the winner. contrary to some reports that were re- ceived of the bout. According to Pappas, Moore weighed 118% pounds at 6 p. m. on the day of the bout, whereas Pappas weighed but 112 pounds. Jimmy Eddie Randall the gymnasium has assumed charge of formerly 611 N.

FIVE MORE BROWNIES ARE SENT TO MINORS Business Manager Branch Rickey of the Browns announced this morn- ing that five more players have been released to the minors. Terre Haute, Ind., gets the last batch. They are Cochran, a_ pitcher, last year with Wichita; O’Brien, catcher, last sea- son with Decatur; Schatzman and Fritzmayer, pitchers, and Schulte, outfielder. The last three prayed with the local semi-pros in 1915. WOMEMS GOLF TOURNEY TO START ON SEPT. 22 NEW YORK, March 7.—The Executive Committee of the United states Golf Associa- tion announced today that it has changed the date of the woman's national champion- ship from Sept. 11 to Sept. 22.

Tommy Long, who led the League in manufacturing three-base whacks last season, is going to receive a special | courte of instruction in the business of bunting the ball. Tee’s lamentable at- tempts to bunt in the 1915 campaign con- vinced Hug that what the Southerner did not know about laying the ball down would fill a good-sized wash tub. Hug, you know, is strong for the bunt- ing game. He considers it a baseball crime for a man of Long’s speed to be unable to beat out a bunch of bunts every year. If Tommy doesn’t learn to lay the ball down with fair accuracy this spring it will be because he is be- yond human help in that line. Pitcher Hall a Slugger. Miller Huggins is predicting that Charley Hall will hit the leather for the Cardinals this summer like ‘‘Babe’’ Ruth did for the Boston Red Sox last season. ‘‘Rabe,.” it will be remembered, broke up quite a few games for Carrigan’s crew in 1915. This fellow Hall is just about,as husky as Ruth and stands up to the plate in similar fashion, swinging from the left side. He wields a heavy club and hits the pill some terrible smashes, Unless we miss our guess he will pole a few into that right-field stand. Tony Brotten’. the voung catcher from Vancouver, ‘s a baskei ball volaver of -on- siderable ability. He spends his evenings tahing the local teams in action. Huge- xins"has out the ban on the shooting game this season, so Tonys gets no chance to par- ticipate in any of the contests himself Harry Sallee is trving to figure out why | southpaw pitchers should find the left-handed club-swingers more easy to dispose of shan the fellows who stand on the other side of the plate. , “I always have just as much trouble with a left-handed hitter as with a right-handed batter of equal ability.’’ said Sal the other night. ye *"t see why a ileft-handed should have any more trouble soutbpaw than a xht-handed should have connecting with the shoots of a right-handed pitcher. Yet it seems that most southpaws are more effective against left-handed batters than a right-hand huri- er is.

They are Cant. Mike Mason, Waldo Ames, Culp, Hohman and O'Meara. The first three are the best known of the quintet, while Mason stands out as the star of the lot, being a Western Confer- ence champion in the two-mile run. All of the IDlini athletes last sea- son made good records in both the Intercollegiate Conference indoor and outdoor meets. In both these meets Mason won the two-mile and in the outdoor he set a new conference rec- ord of 9m. 33 2-5s. In the indoor his time was 9m. 45 2-4s. That Mason is doing just as well thig year as he did last was shown in the recent dual meet with Wis- consin, in which the DIlMni captain won both the mile and two-mile runs, doing the former in 4m. 27s., while his time in the two-mile was 9m. 52s.

EL PASO, Tex., March 7.-—BEighteen men are dead today and several others are expected to die as the resylt of an explosion yesterday in the disinfeqjion bathroom of the city jail. More thag #0 prisoners were in the bath when jhe explosion occurred and nearly all, :f- fered serious burns, nine dying wit short time. Nine others who were taken to pitals died during the night. A lighyed match ignited the vapors arising ,, n the mixture of gasoline, kerosene vinegar in which the prisoners, moagly Mexicans, were being bathed in cGyn- formiiy with the sanitary measures de- vised by health authorities to prevent the spread of disease from Mexican ar- rivals. Sheets of flame flashed through the entire east wing of the prison and al- - most immediately the street fronting the jail was filled with shrieking men, en- veloped in fire. A fire company housed in the jail building extinguished the flames. The Coroner’s inquest and an investi- gation by city officials, ordered for to- day, had to do pricipally with state- ments made by guards and survivors, who declared that the explosion was caused by lighting a match by one of the prisoners. While the investigation was proceed- ing On this side of the boundary, civil and military authorities at Juarez, op- posite here, were prosecuting a search for an unidentified Mexican who boarded 4 street car near the Juarez racetrack and shot the motorman, Charles Phelps, last night, after a report was spread that 200 Mexicans had been thrown in jail here and deliberately burned to death. Phelps may die. Car service between El] Paso and Jua- rez, which was suspended last night, was resumed today. The report that the explosion was the result of deliberate intention on the part of American officials to kill Mexicans was not ‘ong in reaching Juarez. In- tense excitement prevailed throughout the Mexican town and heavy military patrols were ~ent out by Gen. Gabriel Gavira, the commandant, to suppress disorder. Eighteen Americans, all employes of the racetrack, were aboard the car at the time of the shooting and fled in a panic. Twelve Americans were among those injured in the explosion. H. M. Cross of Davenport, Io., v 3 named in a statement by H. C. Bagby. a jail “trusty,”’ and onc of the men 6n guard during the bathing as the man who was seen to light the match which Was be- lieved to have caused the explosion. Cross was one «f the first to die. RS. STARBIA FORMER W, U SH INSTRUCTOR, DIES He Had Breakdown About Year Axo and Was Sent te a Sani- tarium. News of the death of Robert 8.

_ THE POST-DISPAT - SESDAY Y EVENING, MARCH 7, 1916. STOOKS REFLECT STEADY TONE AS MARKET CLOSES Uncertain Political Outlook Re- st.ains Buyers, However; Ex- ports Continue Large By Leased Wire From the New York Boreau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 7.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, says: “The financial markets, from force of habit if for no other reason, watched Verdun and Washington today. No very conclusive evidence of the situaticn came from either quarter, but the large majority in the House which, in the first test vote on the ‘armed ship’ res- olution, supported the administration's wishes, had its due effect. “When the news of that vote was rc- ceived in the middle of the afternoon, a sharp advance ensued, in which the well-known investment shares led the movement, for the first time in a num- ber of days. Wall street itself did not assume that the situation in Congress was clearly determined by this verdict, and it was realized that perhaps the crucial test was bound to come later in the day. Still, the market's response was visible. ‘During the earlier hour movement of price was irregular. Opening with no great overnight changes, such activ- ity as developed was mostly restricted to the industrial shares. These stocks rosé and fell alternately, in some cases with a good deal of violence. The net result varied considerably with different shares, though, on the whole, the ten- dency seemed to be downward. “As might have been imagined, it was chiefly professional activities which gov- erned the market. Taken as a whole, it closed in a state of much irreguiarity and confusion, after a fairly busy day. Exchange Market Easier. “In some respects the most inter- esting market of the day was that for exchange on Europe. Sterling de- clined fractionally to 4.76, the lowest in nearly three weeks, and a apparent: ly below the New York gol ort point, as reckoned under exis ing conditions. The rate moved also against Paris, but exchange on Ber- lin was perhaps the special point of weakness, reichsmarks falling today to the lowest level since the spec- tacular break of Jan. 7, when the market's condition was the immedi- ate cause for the converted move- ment of the reichsbank, under the auspices of the German Government, to sustain exchange. “So far as can been, and in de- fault of any announcement by the Berlin authorities, as to what finan- cial expedients were being adopted for the purpose, the plan has failed. It would be easier to comment on the movement of rates, however, if one knew what Berlin had expected to accomplish and how it had ex- pected to do it. Exports Continue Large. ‘‘Lacking the reports of the Depart- ment of Commerce on the weekly foreign trade of the United States (suspended since Feb. 1 because the department was unable to see why anybody should be interested in them), there is left, as an indication to the trend of things, the weekly export figures of the New York Custom House. The return for last week, publisned today. was in this re- spect. interesting, in that it showed ag gregate expurt shipments double the average weekly outgo of the past three weeks, and «he largest since the open- ing week of February. Only in erent weeks of the war-time period hes t 57,500,000 ouigo from the _ port deen matched, and all of these weeks fall between ihe middie of October and Feb. 5. “Apparently the pressure for export of munitions is unrelaxed and is modified only by intermittent lack of shipping facilities. It is by no means an un- reasonable supposition that such pro- digious expenditura of ammunition as has already occurred in the two weeks’ fighting around Verdun, with the pros- pect of further artillery engagements on the same unheard-of scale, will com- pel continuance of the call on producing capacity of neutrais as wel! as bellig- erents. But the striking fact is that the French army, despite the fact that t has borne the brunt of this engagement, and despite also the occupation by Ger- many of the richest iron-producing dis- tricts of the republic, has apparently provided its own ammunition for the colossal struggle.”’ DETAILED REPORT OF DAY'S TRADING IN WALL STREET NEW HS. a May %7.—Prices of active stocks med to express less confidence in prevailing conditions at the opening of to- Sense. eer RHE advices from eae situation, a1 and he outset heh tee of 3 Meroa aati a ~_— — 6 these we while other, t sues, no ou, nited States otee!l, hy — *iirie yielded with the and Baldwin sgoome _ led gl =.
