PARIS, March 10.—There was no change in the situation before Veréun, either east or west of the Meuse, ac- cording to the official announcement of the war office this afternoon.

The note denies other statements contained in recent German official communications. The French official note says: “German official dispatches of March 8 affirm that in a glorious night attack the Posen Reserve Regiments No. 6 and No. 19, under command of the Infantry General von Guretsky Cornitz, stormed the fort of Vaux with a number 6f ad- Jacent fortifications. This assertion is faise in every way. At the very: hour when the German communication ar- fived the French staff found that the fort of Vaux had not been attacked and that the soldiers guarding it were calmly at their posts." “Vaux Still in Hands of French.” “The same communication asserts further (1) that German troops are en- waged in clearing French troops stil! remaining out of Corbeaux Wood; (2) that the Germans stormed the village of Vaux. These assertions are botn un- true. At the present moment the enemy enly occuples the extreme eastern por- on. of Corbaux Wood, the greater part which is held by us. All German ne attacks failed to drive us from t. The village of Vaux, attacked during the night by German troops, was vic- orously defended and remains in our hands. The German infantry which suc- ceeded In getting into the village were all driven out at the point of the bay- onet. It had been remarked that since the failure of the offensive against Verdun, German official communications are full of false statements. Thus, when the French troops withdrew from Fres: nes, the German communication stated on March 7 that 900 French prisoners have been taken and then on March 8 that the number amounted to over 700. The garrison of Fresnes was less than 700 altogether and was able to withéraw from the village without great diffi- culty. “In the attack on Forges, Regneville ‘and Corbeaux Wood the Germans de- clared that they had made prisoners of 88 officers and 3277 men, all un- wounded.

M.), and Are Dispatched to Points West of There—Signal Fires of Bandits. Cause Uneasiness. By Associated Press. COLUMBUS, N. M., March 10.—Fed- eral troops in increased numbers early tuday patrolled the Mexican border near Columbus as a precaution against further invasion of American territory by Francisco Villo’s bandit army which yesterday, in a surprise attack upon the town killed 16 American citizens and soldiers, wounded many, burned bui'd- ir.gs and looted stores before being criven back into Mexico by American troops. Villa, at the head of the main body of bandits, was reported 15 miles soutle ef the international line. where he balted after a running fight ye:sterdsy with pursuing United States troopers. Two Mexican wounded, one a Vilia General, named Garcia,’ died at the American Army Hospital early today. The pocket book of T. . Evans, or: cf the Americans killed in the Santa Ysef&be! massacre, was found on the body of Pablo Lopez, second in command it) Ville who was kill-d yesterday. A considerable force of armed civilians departed hastily today for Gibson's ranch, 15 miles west, on re- ceipt of a report that a body of Mexi- can bandits had, appeared near that point. Col. H. J. Slocum immediately tcok steps to determine the correct- ness of the report. Train No. 8, Kl Paso & Southwest- ern, east-Lound, reached here at 98 a. m.. with the crew “and most of the passengers heavily armed. The train crew reported all quiet at Hachita and Victoria, where American cavalry and infantry are posted. Troops are scattered all along the road from Hachita to Columbus. Armed civilians Kept guard at the school house, where their wives and daughters spent the night. The Mexican quarter was closely guarded by patrols. -.

The first reinforcethents arrived carly 12. series of hills 15 miles south of the , voday when the First Battalion of the | Trentieth Infantry, 20 men, under Ma;. William R. Sample, arrived from Fort Bliss on a special train. The battalion. after receiving a fresh supply of ammu- nition, was dispatched by Col. H. J. Slocum, commanding the troops here, .to Victoria, 32 miles west. Other troopa were reported to have been dispatched to various points along the border, The pursuit of Villa and his men by 250 cavalrymen under Majors Tompkins and Lindsley ended when the Villa force made a determined stand after reaching torder. The casualties to the American forces during this battle consisted of the death of a Corporal, whose name had not yet been learned, and the wounding of Capt. George Williams, who vas struck in the hand by a builet The Mexican casualties in this engage- ment were not reported. Carranza authorities, according to of- ficial reporta from Juarez, will not ob- ject to the entry of American troovs into Mexico to attack Villa. Messages have been received here stating that Carranza cavalry had left Guzman to attack the bandit chief on the rear with the expectation that American troops whom they already supposed had crossed the border would attack him. Several wounded Mexicans who had lain out all night, were found today in the brush, and taken to the army hos- pital. Lack of field telegraph and telephone equipment, it was learned, was respon- sible for the delay in the arrival a* Columbus of two troops of cavalry from the station at the Gibson ranch. Word of the Columbus fighting was not ‘Te- ceived there until 8 o’clock. Althougn Maj. Lindsley started immediately, it avas almost two hours later before he reached Columbus with his troops. A battalion of the Twentieth Infantry commanded by Maj. William R. Sample, rgeched Victoria at daylight. GIRL BLOWN IN CANAL, DROWNED Chicagze Mias Picked Up by Gate When Crosting Bridge.

At the Cabinet meting the possibility was considered that some Car- | “yanza followers, would join Villa on the aceumption that the.

Rolf, having admitted having served an 18-month penitentiary sen- tence in Jefferson City for lead rob- tery, confessed to stealing wire from the Missouri Pacific and Frisco roads in the county each. night this week.

Is -Justified | St. By STERLING E, EDMUNDS, Lecturer on International Law, Louis University Law School, F United. States soldiers should | cross into Mexico with the corisent of our Government and without the consent of Carranza, that would constitute what is known technically as intervention. As is said by the au- thority, Hall: “Prima facie intervention is a hostile act, because it constitutes an attack upon the independence of the state sub- jected to it. * * * Regarded from the point of view of the state intruded upon, it must always remain an act which, if not consented to, is an act of war. But from the point of view of the inter- vening power it is not a means of ob- taining redress for a wrong done, but a measure of prevention or of police, undertaken sometimes for the express purpose of avoiding war.’’ Yet it is always an impeachment of sovereignty and can be. justified ohily by the clearest evidence of the inabil- ity of the state intruded upon to fulfill its obligations toward the state inter- vening. Such an incapacity on the part of Mexico may be considered fairty to exist.ein view of the repeated and ex- tensive attacks upon Americans within our own as well as within Mexican ter- ritory. When the lawlessness on the Mexico border became acute in 1871, accom- panied by depredations similar to that at Columbus, N. M., Secretary of State Fish wrote to Minister Nelson at Mex- ico City, directing him to say to the Mexican authorities that it might be- come the duty of the United States “at suing hostile Indians into Mexico with- out the consent of that Government, if it shall not adopt measures toward checking the robberies referred to.” On June 1, 1877, orders were actually given to the military authorities of the United States to cross the border, if necessary, in pursuit of lawless raiders. The Mexican Government protested, but least to weigh the expediency of pur-/ the United States justified the crossing aS a necessary measure of self-protec- tion. These orders were acted upon and re- mained in effect until the following February, when they were repealed, it appearing then that the Mexican Gov- ernment had the situation in hand. Ma- rauding reappeared in 1882, and it was then that protocols were signed by the two Governments stipulating for the mutual pursuit 6f outlaws in the terri- tory of either to meet the previous ob- jection of Mexico. In 1877 Secretary Fish proposed that United States troops occupy and control Mexican territory embraced in a line from Matamoras to Laredo, though it was not actually undertaken. As to where the power is vested to authorize troops to move into the ter- ritory of another state, since it is al- ways a cause for war, it shoul@ rest with Congress, where the constitutional power to declare war inheres. Yet in many instances of the landing of ma- rines in Central American countries and in the West Indies in times of turbu- lence, which actually amounted to in- tervention, Congress has not been con- sulted. It is not improbable, however, that the operations of American troops on Mexican soil would solidify all Mex- ican factions against the United States and be the beginning of a long conflict. The fact that the United States has recently recognized the interest, if not the duty, of South American states in the maintenance of peace and order in the Americas raises the question whether, in the event of intervention, Argentine, Brazil and Chile should not be requested to share in the. work. If pacification iz not contemplated, if the movement of United States troops into Mexico has as its object merely the capture or destruction of Villa and bis raiders, there would appear to be ne reason for calling upon the South American Powers. Yet events may lead an expedition of this kind far from its original object and before -we- -were aware a general campaign of pacifica- tion «night become necessary. ee Post-Dispatch First ~ Published Villa’s Threat to Invade U. S. Nov. 30 HE rews of Villa's resolve to raid American towns. was first published in the Post-Dis- patch Nov. 30, last. A certain Col. Ramonez, who was attached to .Villa’s staff as chron- icler, was with the rebel chieftain after he was driven out of Nogales, - Villa at that time called his officers and men together and in a fiery speech, told them he would raid American towns and ranches where loot would be treavy and that all would be made rich. The Colonel deserted in the face of that prospect and made his way to Ducson, where a Post-Dispatch correspondent found him after the publication of Villa's‘declaration of war in the Post-Dispatch. A similar story was given out by the State Department in. Washington. Ramonez told the Post-Dispatch correspondent that Villa in ad- dressing his men in great disgust, said of the “‘gringoes’’: “Henceforth I turn my strength against them. We will inwade the United States where there are rich towns and ranches, There I prom- ise you loot and food in plenty. We will raid the isolated towns and ranches.”’ KANSAS CITY POLITICIAN WHO ATTACKED GIRL GETS 9 YEARS W. C. Bowman Unmoved by Verdict, bot Weeps - When Daughter Caresess Him in Coaurt,.

Ma). Frank Tompkins of the Thir- teenth cavalry, in command of the troops that drove Francisco Villa and his bandits across the border, said that Villa’s losses were fully 100. Harly to- day 75 Mexican dead found on the Amer- ican side were either burned or buried. A revised list of casualties among Americans follows: Killed:. W, J. Ritchie, hotel proprietor; W: R. Walker, customs rider; C: C, Miller, druggist; Mrs. Milton James, J. S. Jeanes, J. J. Moore, Dr. H. J. Hart, El Paso; W. A, Davidson, El Paso; Harry Harry Wiswall, Corporal Troop G; Frank T.

All the wounded are expected to re- | cover. b Other Americans Reported Killed. In addition to those killed by Villa’s men in Columbus, several others are believed to have been executed by the bandit chieftain béfore the American in- vasion. Arthur McKinney, William Cor- bett and James O'Neill, employes of the Palomas Land and Cattle Co., whose property was raided March 1, were Ccap- tured and are said to have been exe- cuted. Edward John Wright andjFrank Hay- den, taken prisoners near Pearson, Chi- huahua, recently, also are believed to have been killed. Of the American civilians slain here, Charles Dewitt Miller of Albuquergq'ie and Dr. H. J. Hart of El Paso were burned to death in the fire that de- stroyed the Commercial Hotel. The body of Walton Walker, a Sunday- school convention delegate from Playas, N. M., who was shot to death with W. T. Richie, proprietor of the hotel, aiso was incinerated. The Mexicans set the hotel on fire, together with a number of other buildings, and posted snipers to pick off Americans as they fled. Mrs. M. James was shot and killed in the doorway of another hotel, in which she was running with her sister: Mrs. James fell dying over the body of C. C. Miller, who had been driven from his drug store across the street, but her sister, a child not yet in her teens, escaped the fusillade without a scratch. Mrs. James” husband was wounded Mrs. 8. T. F. Ryan, wife of the Cap- tain of Troop E, and Capt. Rudoiph Smyser of Troop H, with Mrs. Smyser and her little children, had narrow es- capes from the bandits. The Ryan house fronts regimental headquarters and the ditch along which Villa's troops approached. It was riddled with bullets as Mrs. Ryan lay in bed in the front room. Bullets shattered the glass and plunged through her clothing, arranged on a chair at the foot of the bed. Fred Griffin, private of K troop, was on sentry duty in front of the head- quarters and opened fire on a party of Mexicans attacking the quarters of Ljeut. John P. Lucas, commanding the machine gun troop of the Thirteenth Cavalry. Griffin fell mortally wounded under a volley of bullets, but killed two Mexicans and then crawled to the side of the Ryan home. Mrs. Ryan had meantime risen and ran around the side of the house, under fire of the Mexicans, to an adobe garage. A party of bandits was standing about Griffin. She openei the garage when a Mexican grasped her arm and demanded where she was going. She answered calmly that she was going into the building to get a motor car. The Mexican let her go, and during the fighting in the camp she remained in the automobile unhurt. Every piece of furniture in the Ryar home was riddled. Captain’s House rrounded. The Grayvee home north b of the track was surrounded by bandits betore a shot was fired. Capt. Smyser heard someone tell the bandits that an American army officer and his family lived there. Gath- ering his wife and children, he emerged from the back door and reached the barn just as the bandits broke in the door of the house. The bandits were preparing to set fise to the barn when the American forces ed fire. The Mexicans looted: the house, leaving Mrs. Smyser nothing but the nightgown in which she esca PURSUERS OF VILLA AND BANDIT FOLLOWERS WILL Isunw wet "HAVE DIFFICULT TASK} prom ___” -” ‘Mexican Consul Says Raiders Probably Can Es- cape Capture for Long Time in Mountains of Northern Chihuahua and Sonora. Rafael P. Serrano’ of 4136 McPherson avenue, Mexican Consul in 8t. Louis, told a Post-Dispatch reporter today of the difficulties which a force of Ameri- can regulars would have in pursuing Villa and his men in the mountainous régions of Northern Chihuahua and So- nora. Serrano is a native of Sonora, and is familiar with the border country. He said the States of Chihuahua ani 5So- nora were, in the main, controlled by Carranza’s forces, but that the moun- tainous region, which is the backbone of the Sierra Madre range, afforded a secure shelter for bandits. “Water is plentiful in the mountains,” he said, ‘“‘and so is food, for not only is game abundant, but cattle ranges ure within easy reach. The character of. the country is such that a skillful leader like Villa can maintain a force: there indefinitely, and ts exposed fo capture only when he ventures an at- cack. As to ammunition, he probavly gets most of his supply from the Amer- ican side of the border, and the embarge will have to be made very much tighter than it has been, to cut off this sup- ply. “If Villa has 1000 men with him in ihe mountains, as is likely, I think a force of i0,00 would have gyreat lJifficulty Im dislodeing him. It could, perhaps, be done, but it would take a long campaien, eel such as Porfirio Diaz had to carry on against Lozada in the territory of Te- pec, more than 2 years ago. “If Americans forces could use the railroad lines in entering the border country the problem of food supply and Water could probably be handled satis- factorily. If the railroads could not be used, the food and water problem would be a serious one. Water is not plentiful in the lowlands; the food supply is not sufficient for more than the inhabitants, and there are no large towns north of Chihuahua City. “I do not know, of course, what at- titude the Carranza Government will take toward the entrance of American troops, but it seems to be the best ar- rangement would be an agreement for c9-operation between Carranza’s soldiers and American forces. A forcible in- vasion of the country would naturally tend to damage the prestige of the Car- ranza Government, and Carranza might feel obliged to offer resistance. “If the United States would blockade all Mexican ports against the importa- tion of ammunition and would maintain a strict embargo on the border, the dis- ‘orders in Mexico would gradually sub- side. Of course, this might not be a quick enough method to stop the raids by Villa, who apparéntly is trying. to force the. sending of American soldiers into Mexico.” cordance with instructions. Two troops stationed at Gibson's ranch, 15 miles west, did not get into the action. Three troops were in camp here, with an ef- fective force of about 250 men. Several persons claim to have seen Villa and a portfolio found after the fighting contained many of his papers. One note said “Kill all the Gringoes."’ The bodies of the Mexican slain were hurned. Twenty-seven bodies were so disposed of yesterday, while a number of their wounde@gd were treated at the tospital of the Thirteenth Cavalry, the army surgeons being assisted in their work by American women nurses. Some of the Villa wounded were mere boys. Army officers, whose quarters were at- tacked, bore testimony that resident Mexicans of the town pointed out to the bandits the house occupied by Amer icans and those sheltering Mexicans. As a result of this, Col. Slocum ordered troops to search every Méxican’s house and deprive everyone of arms. There are about 500 Americans in Columbus ‘and rearly as many Mexicans, some of whom are refugees, , One Mexican, Lebrado Marquez, was placed in the military guardhouse, charged with having assisted in directing the operations of the bandits and also vith having given information to Villa through his spies. Lieut. John P. Castelman, command- ing Troop F, was officer of the day when the bandits attacked. Griffin's shots and the answering volley caused Castleman to leap for the door. He was met by a Mexican, who fired, and missed. Castleman killed him, Castleman marched Troop F into the town to protect civilians, men. women and children, who were running through the streets. Most of Mexicans Mounted. Castieman, stationing his mount in front of the hotel owned by Mayor V/. C. Hoover, next door to the Columbus Rank, engaged a greatly superior num- ber of Mexicans and drove the bandits westward. The Mexicans there sought the cover of a hill in the rear of the customs house, 8 yards southeast of the El Paso & Southwestern staiion. Lucas’ machine gun troop caught them ds they crossed the track and riflemen in the ditch took them in flank as the Mexicans, virtually all mounted, dashed southrward. Col. Slocum was out of his quarters uptown within 10 minutes after the first shot was fired and reached the Hoover Hotel corner as the Mexicans ap- rroached. Villa men, according to the statement of Mrs. Wright, did not stand fire as Villa thought they should, and he raved and cursed and threatened as he fol- lowed them southward striving vainly all the while to rally them‘for another attack. As they retreated southward the Mex- jeans stopped at the ranch of J. J. Moore long enough to kill Moote, wound his wife and loot the place. Modre was taken out of his house and murdered on his doorstep. His wife was found out in a field, American soldiers passing saw her wave a handkerchief and with Mrs. Wright, who was liberhted by Villa near by, assisted her to an army ambu- lance which brought her tw a hotel here.

United States army. who is keeping in close touch with every movement on the border and personally receiving ev- ery message from the commanding offi- cers, in considering reports of the Villa attack on Columbus, N. M., said Villa evidently seemed well advised of the lay of the ground, but that he believed the Mexican bandit leader was sur- prised when he found the town so well defended. “Villa evidently avoided the troops on guard at the border gate and crossed the border west of there,” said Gen.. Funston. “In retreating he seems to | have run into these troops and was at- tacked by the Americans on the flank. “It is very easy for Villa to avoid any patrol at night, and his scouts could have hidden in the brush and watched for the patrol to pass and then crossed the border behind it. “It might have been an easy matter for Villa to have destroyed the troop on guard at the gate, but the firing would have spread the alarm and he wished to slip into town before giving the alarm.”’ Gen. Funston said he believed Villa thought that most of the troops in Co- lumbus were on patrol duty. He had no doubt observed troops at Gibson ranch .and on patrol along the border and thought that many of them were on detached duty. He thinks that the bandit chief was much surprised to find so many soldiers in the town. Col Slocum’s report received at Fort Sam Houston last night said: “When Villa troops fell back just be- fore daylight we followed them with a dismounted line. At the same time I sent Maj. Tompkins with three treops mounted to aftack. Tompkins followed them for about five miles into Mexico; having three running fights with them and they finally made a stand with their entire foree and stopped Tompkins’ advance and he re turned here. i?! was Villa who made the attack with 1500 men, leaving about 1000 on the river the camp. About 10 or 12 Mexicans were killed in the town.

When Carranza Was Recog+ « nized by President. | COLUMBUS. N. M., March 10.—Papers said to have been dropped by Francisco Villa in his flight after his attack on Columbus yesterday revealed, it _be- came known today, that he had decided last October to wage warfare against Americans. This step, according to Villa's ; per- sonal documents, was taken immedigte- ly following recognition by the United States of the Carranza de facto Govern- ment and began with the institution of Villa's campaign in Sonora, which end ed disastrously at Agua Prieta on Nov. 20. Among the papers found .was what purported to be an between Villa and Méxican residents of Colonia Morelos, near El Tigre, Sonora, pleds- ing mutual support in an effort to @rive out Mormons and other Americans, con- fiscate their property and operate Gee mines and farms. .. The citizens, according to the atleged agreement, promised to take up atms with Villa to gain this end.. Villa was to furnish the Mexicans of the @istrict with livestock, to be delivered by April, 1916, “after he had overcome Carranza and established himself as supreme chief in Mexico.” Aother of the papers acknowledged receipt of $25,000 in gold from the Con- | solidated Cananea Copper Co. at Naco, Sonora, shortly after Villa's. retreat from Ague Prieta. The receipt credited the money to export duties om copper ores from Cananea, but a notation showed that the money really was paid for the lives of three Americans held as prisoners and who, at the time, were reported to have been marked for exe~- cution. An invitation to Gen. Emiliano Zapata tu march north and join in an attack on the United States was sent.by Fran- cisco Villa in January, according to a copy of a letter found among Villa's captured papers. The letter was dated San Geronimo, Chihuahua, Jan. 6, 1916. “I shall not expend another shell °n hrother Mexicans,” Villa wrotein the letter, but will prepare and organise to attack the Americans on their own soil and let them know that Mexico is a land of the free and the tomb of che thornless crowns and traitors.” Villa proposed that. the joint move ment with Zapata against the United States should oceur six months from Jan. 6. Villa in the ter attributed his d>-- feat at Agua ta last November to the action of United States Govers- ment in permitting Carranza military authorities to send over American ter- ritory reinforcements of the Mexican town opposite Douglas, Ariz., and 4+. clared the act an invasion of the sover- elgnty of Mexico and an tmsult to the people. “At that time,” Villa told Zapata. “I restrained, but with the greatest dif- ficulty, the impulse of my troops to u:- tack the city of Douglas.” “My Little Girls Are Strong and Healthy” Mother Gives Credit to Father John's Medicing — - Vitter >. i2 f if i EF : ae iss

Glenn Smeeman and his wife, Lulu, were convicted today by a jury in Cir- cuit’ Judge Kimmel’s court of grand larceny of an automobile from Joy Vv. Allison, 4912 Page boulevard, and their punishment was fixed at two years in the penitentiary. The automobile was stolen Nov. 1, 1915, from King’s highway and Water- man avenue. On Nov. 27 Allison saw the machine .being driven west on Pine street and followed it to 3000 Pine street, where he hailed a policeman. Dr. J. D. Robinson of Bellegrade, Mo., was driv- ing it. He said he had bought it for $450 from ‘‘Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Fos- ter,” at 6837 Von Versen avenue. He went to that address, accompanied by detectives. “Mrs. Foster’ was arrested and “Foster’’ was captured after a chase through an alley. The “Fosters” proved to be Mr. and Mrs. Smeeman. They had rented the Von Versen avenue house a week before and had announced their intention of furnishing it as a boarding house. Robinson said he was introduced to the “Fosters” by a man he knew as Glenn Barber, who turned out to be George Smeeman, brother of Glenn Smeeman. George Smeeman was indicted but has not been found. The defense of Mr. and Mrs. Smeeman was that George Smeeman took the automobile and that they merely tried to shield him.

A good road runs through the gently sloping ravine up to the plateau before Douaumont, possession of which would enable the attacking forces to take the defenses in the flank. Massed infantry, supported by artillery, strug- gled hard to win command of twis easiest approach to the famous position, but the French were able to hold off the assailants and at the same time to deal with attacks from the village of Douau- mont. French Attack in Wood. Tuesday night the Germans held vir- tually the whole Corbeaux wood and an advance post had crossed the road into Cumieres wood, from which it was at-- tacking the southwestern slopes of Goose Hill. Had ahe Germans advanced another 200 yards they would have come out on the main road from Cumieres to Forges and have cut the communi“a- tions of the French force on the hill. To prevent this French infantrymen were brought out from the _ trenches shortly before midday of Wednésday They advanced simultaneously on ‘tw~ sides. From their positions on Dead Man Hill, they crossed the Bethincourt- Cumieres road, climbed the slope on the cpposite side and entered the ~‘vood, From the southwestern edge another strong attack was directed from Les Caurettes, about a mile further cown the same road, against the Germans ‘n Cumieres wood.

The Lennox Club's “surprise home” in the Gerardi Building, King’s highway end Maryland avenue, which was her- alded last fall as a fox-trot fairyland for the younger fashionable set, has been the scene of a surprising amount of trouble. Mrs. Gerardi, owner of the hall, and Charles W. Wall Jr. and John D. Perry, chief organizers of the club, agree on this, and it is about ali they do agree on. Mrs. Gerardi told a Post-Dispatch re- porters today that she was through with the Lennox Club, unless the $400 which she claimed for the rent of her hall at its four dances, and $76 for coffee and sandwiches furnished by her to the club, should be paid. The coffee and sandwiches, she said, composed tha club’s whole menu for its guests, each of whom was suprosed to pay $3 for every dance. Her $476 claim, Mrs. Gerardi s-id, does not include the damage done to some expensive rugs, whicn she jerked from the clubroom floor on the night of Jan. 21, when, she said, she saw some of the members of the club dumping their muddy overshoes on the rugs. Shé has had to pay quite a bill for clean- ing the rugs, she said. What Wall and Perry Say. Wall and Perry, on the other hand, toid the reporter that they considered Mr-. Gerardi had spoiled the season for the club, by interfering with the func- tions planned for its members, and by failing to furnish heat when it was ex- pected and needed. They said Mrs. Gerardi was to receive $500 for tne sea- son, and that this was to cover the reg- ular dances and other functions for which members might desire to use the hall. Mrs. Gerardi’s interference, they said, had broken up the other functions. Dec. 17, last, a bridge party, given by Mrs. Charles Todd Clark of the Chester- field Apartments, had to be transferred from the Lennox Club premises to the Woman’s Club, because the Lennox Club was cold. Mrs. Gerardi complained at that time that she had not received the club’s catering orders, to which she said she was entitied under her understanding with Wail and Perry. She got the catering orders for the club’s last two dances, Jan. 21 and Feb. ll, but she said she was told to serve Sandwiches of an inexpensive quality and coffee. Her catering bill for the January dance, for 150 guests, was $4, and for the February dance, $30. She said she had not received a cent. ‘Associate’ Memberships. Mrs. Gerardi said trouble had been caused by the seiling of ‘“‘associate’”’ memerships at $% each, which gave the bolders the privileges of the clubrooms at any time except when the club’s Gances were being given. This, she said, was the very time when “associate” members wished to be there, and some of them, she said, did not seem to have understood the restriction when they paid their money, hence were dissatis- fied. Wall and Perry said they had not heard of any dissatisfaction among as- sociate members. They said the terms of associate membership werc made clear to everyone. Wall gaid the club, which is not incorporated, was now vir- tually disbanded for the season, but ~rould probably be reorganized next fall. Says Furniture Was Hers. When the opening of the club’s new home was announced early in Novem- ber, it was statec that the quarters bad been fitted up by the club’s officers 48 @ surprise to the fashionable folk who had been ettending its dances at the Woman’s Club in former seasons. | Mrs. Gerardi now says all the furniture, including the rugs, which she says were soiled by the young squires’ feet, was hers. The Board of Governors of the club, it was announced at the time the Gerardi cuarters were first occupled, was com- posed of Mr. and Mrs. Charles P.

An officer of light infantry said: “I had never seen my the enemy with such fury. my section of the wood an hour. ““At one point on the opposite edge of the wood, a German machine gun was posted in a ditch protected by breast works of felled trees. It poured a dead- ly fire into us. A sergeant and 20 men volunteered to drive out the enemy. “Advancing from tree to tree they got in among the Germans with bay- onets. “‘shey took the gun and turned it about, starting a raking fire on the Germans. This did not last long for they soon jammed the gun in their enthusiasm.”’ By early afternoon virtually the whole wood was in the hands of the French. The Germans, however, prepared an- other onslaught. While reserves were being gathered behind Hill No. 265 artillery fire was concentrated on the reverse slopes of Goose Hill to prevent the bringing up of French supports, The flooded Meuse at this point comes within a few yards of the railroad em- bankment on the slope of the hill Hundreds of shells fell in the river, sending up columns of water and mud. The German attack began at dusk. The fighting lasted intermittently all night and rhost of Thursday. The Ger- mans steadily lost ground until at night- fall of yesterday they retained a bare footing in the wood. Meanwhile lively fighting was in prv- gress at Bethincourt. Along that pa-t of the line the Germans advanced from Coulsy to Forges with the object of capturing Bethincourt village and tak- ing the French positions on Dead Man Hill in the rear. They failed to de- bouch, however, French guns sweepiis the slopes every time they attempted to dash forward. Intense Struggle at Vaux. The hottest fighting of yesterday, however was around Vaux. northcast of Verdun. Still intent on getting Douat- mont Plateau, the German commander rurled troops against the village of Vaux in the hope that they would carry it by storm and establish themselves in La Caillette Wood on thé reverse side of the plateau. Brigade after bri teade dashed against the French front Letween the villages of Vaux and Douat- mont. On one occasion 10 companies reached the village of Vaux and imme- diately barricaded themselves in wreck- ed houses, but a French counter attack scon drove them out after a fierce haad to hand struggle. Toward the end of the day the Ger- mans attempted to storm the French trenches at the bottom of the slopes leading up to the Fort of Vaut, but when nightfall came there set tn a heavy snowstorm which hampered fur- ther operations. _--9o---- TREBIZOND’S FALL IS NEAR, EMBASSY TELLS WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, March i0.—Russian troops have landed on the Black Sea coast of Asiatic Turkey and the occn- pation of Trebizond is imminent, ac- cording to a dispatch received today from the American embassy at Con- stantinople. : The State Department also was ad- vised that the American Consul at Tre- bizond had taken over the archives of the German consulate there, the Ger- man Consul having left.

Mayor Kiel announced yesterday a the Board of Estimate that there would be no appropriation for free movie shows in public parks this year, the board having agreed last summer to eliminate this competition with air- domes, when several movie operators protested that the free shows were tak- ing away practically all their patrén- age. 4 The complete budget estimates were made public yesterday by the board, and purposes of $13,962,360.23, and estimated revenue for the fiscal year, commencing in April, of $10,884,896.90.. The Board of | Estimate will begin Monday its process | of shaving the department estimates to the point where the total will meet the expected revénue for the year, which will mean a reduction of about $3,077,- 000 in the completed budget bill. The final budget hearing was the best attended of any held. The Board was urged to grant substantial appropria- tions for the City Plan Commission, the Efficiency Board, the children’s build- and for the pay of Il-bvorers and mechanics in city departments. $19,200 Wanted for City Planning. Dwight F. Davis, former Park Com- missioner, urged that $19,200 be — the City Plan Commission. Only $50 Was granted last year. Davis said it would be a waste of time and money for the commission to operate without employing experts to direct its work. He said it would be possible the coming year to obtain valuable data on traffic conditions by employing Harland Bar- tholomew to control a force of 40 in- spectors, at a cost of $3500. The Efficiency. Board this vear asked for $29,045, an increase of $660 over its | appropriation last year, and the Board of Estimate was asked to grant the full amount by representatives of the Busi- ness Men’s League, the Civic League and the Central Trades and Labor Union. Former Circuit Judge George H. Wil- liams, chairman of the Board cf Chil- dren’s Guardians, made a plea for great- er support for the children's institution at Fort Bellefontaine. He said the city ' should provide for the dependant orphans before it goes into heavy ex- renditures for playgrounds for the chil- dren who are fortunate enough to have -homes. He asked that $100,000 a year be appropriated for the Bellefontaine Farms institution until i¢ is built up sufficiently to provide for all the chil- dren that are wards of the city. There are three buildifigs now in use, housing about 90 children, and three more build- ings are needed at once, he said.

Special expenses in connection with the operation of public parks are esti- mated at $194,502, in the budget. It in- cludes the construction of wading pools, purchase of playground equipment, benches, auto trucks, -construction of granitoid walks ’ and conducting u Christmas Festival next winter. For the purchase and ‘operation of three auto busses in Forest Park to transport ras- servers to the Art Museum and other po nts of interest, $22,000 has been sei aside, A Set of These Free Blankets Makes pretty pillow cover, scarfs, etc. One free with each loaf of McKinney's Butter-Nut Bread.

Several country politicians, who are also in St. Louis testing out the senti- ment of the people on the governorship reported that from # to 6 per cent of the voters in their communities were for Gardner, and that the remainder of the vote would be scattered among the other eight contestants. The Rev.: Dr. J. T. M. Johnston of St. Louis, a banker and former Baptist preacher, is in Columbia today. He has opened headquarters there. He is to make a speech tomorrow at Ashland, where he began his career as a preacher, and will either announce him- self as a candidate for Governor, ur for United States Senator against Sen- ator Reed. The reported Reed-Stone-Major com- bination to back Francis M. Wilson fur Governor is the subject of much discus- sion among the other candidates. Nu- merous telegrams and letters have been sent to Washington in the last week protesting against the two Senators laking an active part in the governor- ship fight. Stone and Reed held conferences with Wilson in Kansas City immediately aft- er the series of Democratic meetings throughout the State last fall, and Wil- son hag since visited Washington. The Major appointees are also to be brought into the combination, according to the statements of various politicians. Terms of Major Deal. The two Senators nave made an agree- ment with Gov. Major that in considera- tion for his keeping out of the senatorial race they will ,have his candidacy for Vice President indorsed by the Demo- cratic State convention at St. Joseph. March 21. Harry B. Hawes, who hag been cred- ited with the leadership of the Francis M. Wilson campaign in St. Louis, said today that he had not decided what he would do in the governorship contest. He said he had not pledged his support to Wilson, and that he might yet decide to support Gardner. He said that what- ever he did would be in a small way, as he expected to take no very active part in the fight.

The St. Louis committee of the Amer- ican Ambulance Hospital at Paris has subscribed $9000 so far, according i Mrs. Stanley Stoner, 6 Brentmoor Park. treasurer of the committee. Of this, $6000 has been used to establish a St. Loujs ward at Neuilly. The committee has equipped one hospital motor. It is preparing to send over some trained nurses and surgeons. Six beds are be- ing supported in the St. Louis ward by persons who have subscribed $600 -ur more each. Drs. Allison and Clopton have each given three months’ service. Drs. Fred T. Murphy and Dixon are now there. J. Cowan Hurlburt and Preston Lock- WORK OF AMERICAN HOSPTAL AT PARK St. Louis Committee Has Sub- | wood are drivers of ambulances at the front. The bandage room, which has turned out 1,260,000 bandages, splints and other surgical appliances, has Mre E. 8. Douglas as one of its chief ‘sup- porters. Mrs. Douglas has been connect- ed with the hospital throughout. She is the sister of Stanley Stoner. John H. Terry is receiving clerk at the hospital. Mrs. Stoner receives and forwards contributions. Every dollar contributed reaches the hospital, as there are no commissions or expenses deducted. Just now the need is great, as the drive atc Verdun has greatly increased the num- ber needing aid. Development of Hospital. The Hospital, which was organized by American residents in Paris at the beginning of the war, has grown to be what experts pronounce the most ef- ficient and' perfect military hospital in history. The French Government placed at its disposal the Lycee Pas- teur, at Neuilly, a huge building coy- ering two city blocks, and the military authorities are in control. It has grown until it now comprises the main hospital at Neuilly, containing 625 beds, operating rooms, X-ray rooms and dental rooms, costing about $1000 rer day to maintain, and where only the worst surgical cases are sent; an aux- iliary hospital at. Juilly, containing 200 beds, afid located 25 miles nearer the front; two convalescent hospitals at St. Cloud; a portable field hospital with 33 tents, costing about $250 a day to main- tain, and an automubile ambulance service of 210 motors, manned by Amer- ican volunteers, most of whom are high- class college men and serving without pay. Work Is Efficient. The motors have reduced the time of ble so materially that in the hilly V920s- ges, for instance, where formerly it took two days to get to a hospital, now the American ambulance gets them there in two hours. Innumerable lives are thus saved. To date more than 125,000 have been carried from the battlefield, or about 10,000 a month. So efficient is the work at the hospital that only 4.62 per cent of its cases have been fatal. The president of the organization ‘s Robert Bacon, former Ambassador to France, who, when in St, Louts last yeek, gave a talk at the residence of J. Lawrence Mauran. He stated that the American ambulance stood for a con- crete expression of the sympathy felt in America for France, and, by its wonder- fui work, was cementing the friendship between the two greatest republics. Be- sides saving lives and relieving suffer- ing, it was building an everlasting mon- ument in the gratitude of the people to whom we owed so much for what they did for us in our tfouble. Bacon said he had funds on hand only sufficient tv support the organization for 20 days" longer. a Many Improvements in Drosten Jewelry Co's New Store. At a meeting last night at the Mer- cantile Club of the Drosten Jewelry Co. and its employes, Mr. F.. W. Drosten, president, explained the many improve- ments in, their new home. Mr. Drosten said he felt very much enthused over the outlook of their new place, where it would be a pleasure for all St. Louisans to come. He stated the busfness would be in charge of his son, W. G. Drosten, sec- retary of the company, and J. J. Ha- ven, Manager; although he was to re main as president. Mr. W. G. Drosten gave an outline of what the new store arrangements were going to be and said that good fellow- ship should be the ruling spirit of the J. J. Hagen, manager, gave a detailed outline of the plans as they will be adopted in their new quarter. Those present were: F. W. Drosten, W. G. Drosten, W. A. Hecker, J. J. Hagen, E. A. Niehaus, F. W.

To the Editor of the Post-Digpatch. This city has been without police protection Mayor's appointments are not agreeable to the Aldermen. This state of affairs the citizens of Nokomis exceedingly tegret. Last week a num- ber of citizens signed a petition to the Governor king him to furnish some kind .of protection conditions in this city were in a bad state. The Weaxult of this seemingly small act has causéd No- komis to be placed in an entirely wrong light. The small daily papers throughout the State, as well as some of the metropolitan dailies, have seized upon the opportunity of ridiculing our un- fortunate state. Some of the papers have ap- peared with glaring headlines reading: “Anarch- ism Reigns in Nokomis.” In defense of this fair little city that has dou- fi its population during the past two years, I ant to brand all such reports as absolutely false, There is not a more peaceful city in Illinots than Nokomis. We are willing to compare our “an- archism”’ with any city of the size in this State. True, there was a murder committed on the prop- erty of the Failroad company about a month ago, nd the murderer is now in the county jail await- mg sentence, This can happen, and does happen in cities that have ample police protection. A drunken man is seldom seen on the streets, and there is absolutely no. rowdyism anywhere. There has not been a single robbery of any consequence during this period, nor has there been one in- stance reported where a lady has been insulted either by day or night. The citizens of this place are law abiding, and consider themselves as part of the law that must be sustained. Last summer quite a few blind tigers were doing business with he result that the men running them were taken Wefore the court, and were given jail sentences which they have served, and are now abiding by the law which the people of this city have de- clared. There is absolutely no need for alarm. The State will not need to send troops here to gens. The coal miners are putting out about 176 cars of coal per day, and when pay day arrives, these same miners deposit nearly $100,000 in the local banks. The city is booming, and activity and genuine thrift are shown on every hand. The Sunday schools are crowded to their capacity, known in the history of the city. those who have friends or relatives living wish to say you may rest perfectly at ease. papers that have been so hard pressed for suggest that they investigate mat- kind before plunging into war with timeters.

Funston’s recommendation that he be authorized to send troops across the Mexican border should be approved without delay. He should be given the men, guns and munitions to make his expedition effective in the shortest possible time. We must get Villa, dead or alive. With modern guns and accessories, such as aeroplanes, observation balloons and wireless ap- paratus;the searching out of bandits should be easier than when scouts had to trail Yaquis, Apaches and other former American bandits to their hill retreats. . The work should be ordered and accomplished promptly and thoroughly, without wasting much time waiting for either the co-operation or per- mission of Carranza. The apparently inefficient First Chief has had ample opportunity to dem- onstrate his power to protect Americans from Villa and other bandit remnants of revolutionary forces. Villa is more than a bandit. He repre- sents what is left of the anti-Carranza forces. If the Carranza government had the-power, the inclination and the energy, it would have sup- pressed Villa and his bands after the Santa Ysabel murders.. That was practically the con- dition of our holding our hands off. It failed utterly to suppress Villa. Villa, in defiance of his power, not only slays Americans in Mexico, but crosses the border and slays Americans, raids, burns and loots an American town in the United States. In getting Villa we would be aiding Car- ranza and doing his work. 3 The invasion of this country by bands that Carranza cannot suppress or control is the sig- Nal for drastic action on our part. Patience ceases to be a virtue and becomes a crime’ when we tolerate the murder of Americans and the loot- ing of American communities on our own soil. It is our duty to see that Villa is punished— punished so swiftly and mercilessly that no Mex- ican will again dare enter American territory with hostile intent. The murdered Americans at Co- lumbus must te thoroughly avenged. We must see that law and order are restored along our borders. Reports of the raid do not testify to our pre- paredness. That a band of cutthroats surprised an American camp and went through it to assault | the town of Columbus is a reproach. That our troops were not able to pursue and crush the band et once is, at least, unfortunate. The lesson of preparedness should be utilized to make short, thorough work of the task before us, = = rr PREPAREDNESS VS. UNPREPAREDNESS. U. S. should mean Universal Service. Which boy gets the marble, the boy who can defend it or the boy who can’t? An inadequate navy and army are worse than none. They represent wasted money and add grievous disappointment to the ruin and bitterness of defeat. The difference between a country prepared against the probability of war and the country unprepared on the theory that war is improbable is the difference between a wise investor and a foolish gambler. + A» vo A CRISIS IN CONSERVATION. In a Senate of 96 members but 22 were counted for conservation and against the Shields water power measure. Such a showing in a Senate elective by people, after more than six years of earnest endeavor for a better guardianship over public resources, is amazing as well as deplorable. When 46 sena- torial Ballingers dare, at the beginning of the campaign year of 1916, to sustain the odious prin- ciples for which Mr. Taft’s repudiated Secretary of the Interior stood back in 1909-11, evidently much still remains to be done before the cause of rational conservation is won. The probability that the House will chop the vicious features out of the bill furnishes no excuse for those who failed to go on record in oppositio#. Let us hope that the House will fulfill personal and party campaign pledges by chopping them out. But after that will come the conference stage, in which subtle, voteswapping interests Senators so often carry the day against the wishes and convictions of Representatives. Conservation has come to a parting of the ways. The danger is acute. Measures on the subject which originated in the House have already been amended in the Senate to facilitate the grabs of rapacious corporations. Evidently there is an intent to jam them through before the conventions of the — make new conservation promises to the people in the national platforms. = = = American “apostle of peace” now the foreign nilitarist. Cicero warned the friends of Rome not: to as- sociate themselves with Catiline; and made their friendship for him a‘criterion of bad citizenship. Perhaps a lesson might be drawn from that source toward establishing the status of the men who now confer with the friend of the “warrior,” the self-styled apostle of peace. hl pict tlie SMASH SCHRAMM’S TAX PLAN. In vigorous protests to the Mayor against the threatened increase in city assessments, the realty dealers have taken the leadership in a movement with which cottage owners and freeholders gen- erally should effectively co-operate. The same classes of property are commonly assessed in this city at from two to five times the valuations at which they are assessed in interior counties and the disparity seems all the time to be increasing. While this qutrageous situation, which results in unjust distributions of State burdens, is crying for a readjustment, City As- sessor Schramm brings forward a singular pro- posal. Declaring that the law contemplates assess- ments at cash value, he announces that the tax valuations of St. Louis realty will be increased from an average of 70 per cent to 100 per cent. His idea of redressing almost intolerable in- equalities is to-make them more intolerable by about 30 per cent, F. N. Judson in a letter to the Post-Dispatch has called attdntion to the fact that the law enjoining cash values also enjoins uniformity throughout the State. In the pre- tended design of showing deference to one pro- vision of law Mr. Schramm purposes defying another provision and in so doing to aggravate the injustices and general chaos of existing tax conditions. The law enjoins assessment at cash value. What Ts the cash value which Mr. Schramm is to take as the standard? The realty dealers’ effort is just and commend- able. This sham Schramm plan should be smashed in its inception. But the realty dealers should not suspend their movement when that is accomplished. Fundamental equality in taxa- tion will not be attained until our entire Mis- souri system is reformed. And probably that will not be possible until we have a new Missouri Constitution. = = * i ae The spring song should ~be for health and cleanliness. Help the pdlice to make the city clean and healthy. Paar Ns aon SSNATOR STONE’S FOREIGN BACKERS. What effect the congressional threat to reverse the President’s poltey in the submarine contro- versy had in Germany is indicated by an article in the Koelnische Zeitung, which looked to Con- gress to rebuke and check the President. The article antedates and rather startlingly foreshad- ows the attempt in Congress to override the Presi- dent: Vienna has been pliable enough to allow some minor points in the Ancona squabble; and Germany has granted material damages in the Lusitania case; though, on the moral and legal side of the question she adheres firmly to the principles first announced. Of course this deprives Mr. Wilson of one of his most powerful levers for his “Preparedness campaign.” Wilson’s friends want it under- stood that he saved his country from war; whereas the “terrible Teddy” would have had war long ago. ‘ Fortunately for Germany there is the For- eign Relations Committee headed by Senator Stone of Missouri,.a State which has always been largely German; and is now essentially pro-German. That committee, it is under- stood, interviewed Wilson and severely hauled him over the coals for having sent so sharp a note to Vienna in the Ancona affair. Prue, the President assumes sole control of the intercourse with foreign nations. At the game time Congress is the only power that can declare war. Mr. Wilson will not have sole gay in these matters; and that such is the case is readily seen from Senator Stone’s criticism, which he made to his face and then published. Senator Stone’s foreign constituency evidently appreciates his work—even more, perhaps, than he appreciates its praise. In view of the attitude of Senator Stone, Speak- er Clark and several Missouri Representatives in Congress, the impression of the Koelnische Zeitung that Missouri is essentially pro-German is par- donable. We assure it Missouri is neither Ger- man nor pro-German—it is pro-American. = = est in Baby Week? =_ -_ — ~S. — THH COLONEL’S ‘‘UNLESS,’’ “Indeed, I will go farther and say that it would be a mistake to nominate me, unless”——. wrote the Colonel in the first part of his letter from Trinidad.

And when you do, oh! may I come to you?” “‘We shall see, Nell,” said David, and his heart fluttered as he read the un- utterable devotion expressed in that sweet face. There were wry and sullen faces among the four ‘stepchildren who had fattened on the unselfish bounty of David for so long a time.

When he awoke it was to find his shoes and outer garments gone. He was dismayed for a moment, surmising that some thieving tramp was the culprit. “Well,” soliloquized David resignedly, and with a tinge of humor, “my step- brothers confiscated most of my outfit and a stranger now finishes up the job! I fear circumstance is gradually restor- ing me to the normal condition of abo- riginal man, out here in the primeval wilderness!” There was no chance of meeting any- one, so David proceeded down the road, or rather trail.

The man looked him over kindly. He got to questioning him. erchard. He took David in as an em- ploye, then as a partner. Never was there a more industrious companionable fellow.

(Copyright by W. G. Chapman.) How Men’s Habits Began Cards. LOT of us can’t sing our national A anthem. There’s a hot controversy about what the national flower ought to be. But there is no difference of opinion as to the national game. Put the question to the electorate from Bos- ton to Los Angeles, from Canada to the Gulf, as to what makes joyous our dull, rainy afternoons and our Saturday nights. Back with a shout will come the answer: “Poker!” It’s our game, of a foreign and very ancient lineage—perhaps even going back to the old Persiaris—but we made it what it is. Brought to Louisiana by the French under the name of ‘‘poque,’ so the story runs, 175 years ago, it was patiently and affectionately nourished by those thoroughgoing plungers who trav- eled on the Mississippi River steam- boats until the great year in its history dawned. This was 1860, when ‘‘draw’”’ was invented. Anybody. apparently is entitled to a guess as to where the first deck of cards was shuffled. But Asia has the best claim to the honor. The Chinese, of course, say they invented ‘em; but India and Egypt are also in the running. They may not at first have been used for playing, but possibly had a religious or occuit meaning. The gypsies have been telliug fortunes with ‘em for a thou- sand years. (Cards may have been sug- gest2d by chess. The historical sharps give three ways by which they might have come into Europe—by our old friends the gypsies, by the Moors when they mopped up Spain, and the Crusaders. These Cru- saders were big gamblers when they weren't fighting the Saracens. You can also take your choice as to the time England may have been playing cards in 1249, but probably not so soon as that. By the end of the fourteenth century, however, everybody had got the craze. When Cortez was taking Mexico to pieces, some of his soldiers showed the Astecs a few card tricks and made a big hit. The wise boys even claim that cards may have helped out the beginning of printing. They were hand painted at first, but later were printed from wooden blocks. This built up the engraving busi- ness so it was ready when the demand came for wooden type. . ; The old Venetian pack had 78 cards, four of ’em face—king, queen, chevalier and valet. By the middle of the fifteenth century it had been cut to 52 and the chevalier thrown out. The first suit marks were cups, which are supposed to have meant - faith; money, charity; clubs, fortitude, and Bee ate. f ce ee ORE AE OO Mallia es 88 RES is to ran down a t- may oe ‘When a Man’s ) | cure indigestion) ere ee eee ee \ Sale Spring Suits Stunning Gabardines, 98 French Serges, Checks, $ .

Long, for one thing, proved that he CR} 7 7 wus not a sure catch of a fly ball. The 1915 campaign also demonstrated that } he possessed another weakness — one eemmon to most outfielders—inability to handle a ground ball with certainty. Then, again, Tommy .can’t bunt like Huggins wants his men to jay the ball down. dnasmuch as Tommy right now has these three weaknesses, Huggins has set et oe remove them, if it be human- Imapossible to do so. st that end he is gtving Long about twice as much work as 1 ¢ rest of the gardeners. First Tommy has to chase fly balls, then he gets a session at knocking down hot grounders and final- lv is made to bunt with Hug standing at his elbow to see that Tee uses the right motion in meeting the ball. All in all, Tom is quite the busy young man. Cards Not Fit to Play. Yesterday’s ball game between the Millers and the Lor h the for- mer won, 13 to 4 proved one thing—that “the men aren't yet ready to play base- ball as it should be played. The inflield- ers are still uncertain cn their throws and the outfielders aren’t quite sure whether they’re going to freeze to the leather or not, which is only natural, after being in camp such a short time. Bob Connery, chief fungo hitter of “the squad, reported on the sick list yesterday. Hi Jasper also was feel- ine none too good and was given a holiday. The feature of yesterday’s practice hich Bob over the pan. Bob “worked the last three innings for the *Y@geulars. One lucky bingle was all Bob some- He the Longs got in that period. also showed perfect control, thing he did not do last spring. qgoke like a good man for Hug to tie Jasper May Get Chance. Hi Jasper, the native St. Louisan who is trying to land a pitching job with the Cardinals, seems to be further advanced at present than any other hurler on the squad. Tt would not be surprising to see Hi work a couple of the games ainst the Browns in the spring series, This would suit Jasper per- féctiy. ‘Hi has harbored a grudge against the Browns ever since the day last spring when Hank Severeid hit the pill over the left field fence with a couple of men on base in the ninta inning, robbing Jasper of a victory. Jasper blames Eddie Collins for this disaster. It seems there were two men on base and three balis and no strikes on the batter. Collins came in and told Jasper to stick the next one right down the groove, the idea shoeing that Severeid would not offer at it with the call 3—0. fu ames in 10 days. Hi thought it best to try to curve one pver, but he geubmitted to the more mature fudement of Collins and breezed the ball In the direction of the plate with nothing on it but the president's signature. Severeid must have guessed the mean- ing of the conference between Jasper and Collins, for he took a toehold on that fast one d they never did find the ball. So Jasper is eager to pitch against the Browns again and wipe out that score. ae! remarked Pd ~ gar St of hard work.” Ehe Sallee, the other night. “back in in 1912. when we were fighting for the fiag. tT worked in five games in seven days - 4 os ae . ~~ een oo GIGNR.

BAUMGARDNER’S ARM BAD Hamilton, Too, Lacks Speed and Is Slow Rounding Into Twirling Form. By W. J. O’Connor. Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. PALESTINE, Tex., March 10.—The pride of the Brown camp today is Wil- liam Allen Fincher of Arkansas, who was plucked last fall by Charley Bar- rett from the Little Rock (Southern League) club. He won 16 and lost 20 with Little Rock, having a better percentage of vic- tories at the end of the season than the club. Fincher is the finest figure of man in He weighs 190 pounds, is 6 feet camp. 1 inch in height and possesses a fast ball that is giving the batters astisma- tism. But his speed is the least of his eee er ents.

He sometimes uses an under- hand and mixes in an occasional ne hand. He has tremendous speed, and if he acquires a good curve ball he will be the missing link in the chain of right-handed hurlers. | Fincher Under Jones’ Eye. Jones today announced that he would take Fincher with his squad on the trip homeword. He also will! have Koob, McCabe, Parks and Phillips with the team which goes to Memphis and then to Little Rock. The veteran hurlers will travel with the so-called second squad, working through the tank towns of Ar- kansas and Oklahoma. Fincher’s pitching was the feature of yesterday’s workout. He buzzed the ball past the batters, fanning three men in four innings and yielding only four hits. Three of these were made by the first batters who faced him. He hadn’t fully warmed up when Jones called him to the hill. This is the bird to watch.

A. at noon yesterday, it was announced in sub- stance that the club would not pay any further attention to the game of ama- teur boxing. The decision followed the exclusive ublication in the Post-Dispatch ednesday that Leo Schneider, a well- known local professional, had represent- ed the club at Kansas City under the name and amateur card of Len Hart- man, who weuee Were as an amateur in recent yea Eddie Randall, who had charge of the M.

He went and boxed under the name of Hartman. The Kansas City club is not to blame nor is the M. A. A.

"We were taken advantage of, that’s all,” said Watts, “and there is nothing that we can do about it now except to say we are sorry and dis- gusted. So far as my committee is concerned, the club will have nothing more to do with amateur boxing. “As premeres, oF of the Western Divi- sion of the A.

POST-DISPATCH’S DAILY RECORD OF MARKETS TGNORES ThE MEXICAN NEWS Many Issues Close Higher After Irregular Opening; Steel Orders Increase. ——— eS ee Ry Leased Wire From the New York Bureat: of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 10.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, says: “It was not altogether easy to inter- pret the attitude of the Stock Exchange regarding today’s news from Washing- ton regarding Mexico. The stock mar- ket had been advancing, though with much irregularity, up to the time of the midday announcement that our troops would cross the border in pursuit of Villa. It neither advanced nor declined, taken as a whole, on that news, which, in fact, had been fully expected. “In part, at least, the later hesitancy Was perhaps attributed to the absence of satisfactory confirmation of the re- port that Carranza had agreed to our army's entry into Northern Mexico; but the day’s later dispatches seemed to lend some color to that supposition. Al! things considered, the really striking fact about the movement on the Stock Exchange, both yesterday and today, has been the absence of anything like acute apprehension as to the outcome of the present Mexican situation. In that respect the stock market probably gave a fair reflection to public opinion generally. “Stocks of companies with properties in Mexico, including Mexican Petroleum, American Smelting and Greene Cana- nea, generally opened at fractional de- clines. Advances and declines in these issues occurred at frequent intervals, but in the late afternoon there was a more decided upward tendency, and the Mexican issue advanced anywhere from * to 5 points. From the standpoint of investors in these properties, American intervention in Mexico has ,.probably been regarded as preferable to the un- certainty which has so long surround- ed the situation tn that country. “Aside from the group of stocks con- cerned with Mexico, attention was di- rected chiefly toward the war special- ties and the metal shares, in which RESIDENCES FOR SALE WEST RESIDENCE E—For sale, 7-room brick, bath, furnace: fine repair: sacrifice: investixate. 60O2823A Bartmer (cB) RESIDENCE—For sale. 4442 Morgan: 11 rooms, no incumbrance: no trade; cash.

On the whole, these gains were well maintained throughout the day, despite irregular reactions from time to time. Back of the activity in these issues—if professional and pool op- erations are left out of consideration— it appeared to be Wall street's growing belief that there must be further large buying of munitions in this country b¢ the allied Governments to meet the heavy expenditures of ammunition tak- ing place on all battle fronts. Railway shares .were little changed, except Southern Pacific, which advanced about 2% points, perhaps in sympathy with the Mexican stocks. LONDON, March 10.—J. P. Morgan has not yet .fixed a definite date for his return to New York, although he may sail at the end of this month. Mr. Morgan has arranged with the British financial authorities a plan for dealing with the American securi- ties collected by the treasury here. This, the Post-Dispatch correspon- dent learns on the best authority. He learns too that the value of these securities has been greatly underes- timated, and that they are worth 200,- 000,000 pounds sterling ($1,000,000, 000) instead of half that sum, as has been believed generally. In the financial ‘distsict it was stated today that at the beginning of the year when the British financiers make count of American securities in their safes, they totalled more than £300,000,000 sterl- (is ($1,500,000,000). Less than £157,000,000 85,000,000) have been liquidated since then. It has been decided now that part of the mass of securities shall be put on the market, but care will be taken that Wall street shall not be gorged with them, while the balance, probably 75 per cent ‘of the whole, will be utilized as collateral against ‘loans and liquidated as opportunity arises. In a word, the securities are to be handled so as to cause no disturbance of the American market. Financial opinion here is that the American mar- ket is strong enough to absorb $500,000,- 000 worth without sagging, but the Post- Dispatch correspondent understands there is no intention of offering securi- ties to anything like that amount in the near future. Steel Tonnage Is Large. “Today's unfilled order statement of the Steel Corporation must be read in the light of the Iron Age’s recent state- ment that shipments from the steel mills were sper! | heavy in February, and that some mills, notably those of the largest Chicago district producer, broke all records. Other things being equal, unfilled orders do nat accumulate on the books of a manufacturing concern in a month when its deliveries to cus- tomers have been exceptionally large. But today’s monthly statement showed that during February the company’s unfilled orders had increased by 646,000 tons, the largest monthly increase since last November; and, in fact, a more rap- id net increase than in any month since the European war began, excepting only October and November of last year. “Nor was this the only noteworthy fact about the report. The total of or- ders On the Steel Corporation’s books at the end of February—%,568,966 tons-— exceeds all precedent in the company’s history. Until this statement, the high record was held by the 8,489,716 tons of Dec. 31, 1906. The largest total reached in the active period of 1912 and 1913 was the 7,932,164 tons of Dec. 31, 1912. That figure had not been matched in the pres- ent forward movement until today’s statement was published.”’ DETAILED REPORT OF DAY’S TRADING IN WALL STREET NEW YORK. March 10.—Some hesita- on, resulting in al] probability from. the test turn of affairs in Mexico, marked the outset of today’s trading. Mexican Petroleum declined 2 points, and American Smelting was slightly lower, with frac- tional recessions in altimore and Ohio, ew Haven and Central Leather. This was more than counter-balanced, however, by moderate advances elsewhere. notably in the recently active coppers, Marine pre- ferred and Baldwin Locomotive. Butte gb aN yi its regular and extra per cent removed, was auoted at 96, _ SF aon high record Texas Company, selling ‘‘ex-righta” to new stock. Was quoted at 190. The market strength- ened all around later. Prices continued to advance subiect. to recessions due to realizing sales. United States Steel led the list on its advance to 84%, and zinc was next, rising 2 to the 94 price of &9, while Butte and Superior added 4, at 99. Crucible and American and Baldwin Locomotives were the fore- most amone the war shares, at gains of 1 to 2 points.
