S. Dis- trict Court Asking for a Tem- porary Injunction. TAKEN UNDER ADVISEMENT No Particular Offense Cited; Ordinance Declared to Ee Unconstitutional. Two petitions for a temporary injunce-. tion against the enforcement of the ne- Gro segregation law, enacted by popu- lar vote under the initiative Feb. 29, and legally effective since last Fridav, were filed this morning in the United States District Court. In one petition the name of James J. Doyle, a white property owner in the neighborhood of Lawton and Compton avenues, appeared as plaintiff. The other petition bore the names of Albert Burgess, T. A. Curtis, W. C. Gordon and Thomas L. Gentry, negro property owners in the same neighborhood. Both suits were directed against the Mayor Chief of Police and Building Commis- sioner, and other officials charged with the enforcement of the segregation law, and George B. Webster appeared as at- torney in the Doyle case. The names of eight lawyers appeared as counsel for the negroes. They are Charles Nagel, Wells H. Blodgett, James A. Seddon, Joseph Wheless, Selden P. Spencer, Everett W. Pattison, Percy. Werner and W. L. Sturdevant. Map Not Yet Prepared. No active enforcement of the segre- gation law has yet been undertaken by the city officials. The ordinance re- quires the Building Commissioner to prepare maps showing the white blocks into which negroes must not move, and the negro blocks into which whites must not move, but this has not yet been done. It would be possible, under the ordinance, even without these maps, to begin a police court prosecu- tion, at any time, against any person who should move into a block where persons of the opposite race are in a three-fourths majority, but no such complaint has been made thus far. The petitions filed in the United States Court are not Dused on any specific case, but ask that the Court shall take action which will prevenc the law from being enforced, when a case shall arise. The reason alleged for this request is that the segregation law is in violation of the Constitution of the State of Missouri and of the United Etates Constitution. It is customary, in the United States District Court, to grant temporary in- junctions on application, and to set a time for a hearing on the questicn of a permanent injunction. Lawyers asking temporary injunctions usually hand the Court a prepared form for the proposed injunction, which the Judge usually signs after a casual inspection. But in this case, although such a prepared form was presented, Judge Dyer refused to sign it, and took the matter under ad- visement. Cites State Conatitution. The provision of the Missouri Consti- tution which is violated, it is alleged, is section 4 of article 2. This section, as quoted in the petition, states that “all constitutional governments are meant to promote the general welfare of the peo- ple. All persons have a natural right to life, liberty and the enjoyment of the gains of their own industry; to give se- curity in theserthings is the principal offiee of the Government; when the Government does not confer this se- curity, it fails in its chief design.’’ As to the United States Constitution, the petition alleges that the segregation law abridges the privileges and immuni- defined in the Constitution, and there- fore is in violation of that document. The petition, it was stated, was filed in the United States Court on the ad- vice of Isaac H. Lionberger, who held that the Federal tribunal had jurisdic- tion, and that one Federal Judge was qualified to issue the injunction. The Federal code requires three Judges to sit in cases involving the validity of cer- tain statutes. but Lionberger held this did not apply to the segregation law. The petitioners say the segregation law, if enforced, will destroy the rights and privileges of a certain class—the negroes—and will Ueprive property own- ers In certain districts of their property, in that it will narrow the field in which they can sell or rent it. The negro population, {t is stated, is about one- twelfth the entire population of St. Louis. TRANSPORT DIRECTOR FOR ENGLAND QUITS SUDDENLY London Express Deplores Loss of Maj. Gen.

RETIRED SHOE MAN Two of Sons Interested in Com- pany Which Parent Founded in 1889, Most persons expect to receive gifts on thei? birthday, but it became known today that Francis H. Peters of 2236 St. Louis avenue, reversed the usual order when he celebrated his seventy- eighth anniversary Feb. 23, and gave to each of his five sons and two married daughters $80,000 worth. of stock in the International Shoe Co., of which the Peters company is a branch. The sons and daughters found the stock certificates under their plates when they went into the dining room to partake of the birthday dinner. Peters founded the Peters & Miller Shoe Co. in 1889. Later it became the Peters Shoe Co. Though he has retired from the shoe business, he is a heavy stockholder in the $25,000,000 Interna- tional Shoe Co. and is the active head of the Peters Dry Goods Co. at 200 North Fourteenth street. Two sons, Frederick W. and Charles H. Peters, are vice presidents of the International Shoe Co. Two others, Frank E. and William F. Peters are connected with the dry goods company. The fifth son is George Peters. MEDICAL SOCIETY CENSORS SUSPEND DR, BRANSFORD LEWIS Physician Appeals From Deeree of Unethical Conduct in Giving Out Report of Lecture. Dr. Bransford Lewis of 4954 Lindel! boulevard has appealed to the entire membership of the St. Louis Medical Society against a decision of the So- ciety’s board of censors, which Satur- day night decreed his suspension from the society for six months. The appeal will be heard by the society Friday’ night, at a special meeting. Dr. Lewis read a paper last October in Lexington, Ky., before the Missis- sippi Valley Medical Association, in which he told of the use of a neW an- esthetic by St. Louis physicians. <A news article with a Lexington date line, giving the sibstance of the paper, ap- peared in a St. Louis newspaper, and the appearance of this article caused Dr. Lewis to be charged with uneth- ical conduct. It was charged that the matter was given by Dr. Lewis to the newspaper before he went to Lexing- ton, and that it was not given out by the organization, as part of the pro- ceedings of its meeting. If it had been given out in the latter way, there would have been no objection to its publica- tion. Drs. C. W: Tooker, D. B. Garstang and D. E. Schmalhorst form the board of censors, which voted Dr. Lewis’ suspension. FIRE DESTROYS MILITARY POST AT MONTEREY, CAL. Blaze Starts After Troops Depart for Border—Water Mains Found to Be Cut. MONTEREY, Cal., March 13.—The headquarters building of the Monterey Presidio was destroyed by fire: early today, about six hours after being va- cated by troops of the cavalry who left for the Mexican border. Firemen attempting to extinguish the flames found that the water supply had been shut off at the source. An investigation was started immedi- ately. Monterey was the Spanish and Mexican capital of California and the Presidio occupies the site of the ancient military headquarters. The post consist- ed of old wooden barracks sufficient to accommodate a regiment. In the burned building, almost a to- tal loss, were located the postoffice, telegraph office, print shop and head- quarters. The only troops remaining here are the ambulance corps, field hos- pital and cook’s school. A. T. DUMM TO PRESIDE AT STATE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION D. C.

Dunn, member of the Legisla- ture from Cole County, for temporary chairman of the Democratic State con- vention at St. Joseph, March 21, and Horace L. Biackwell of Lexington, as temporary secretary. The State Committee, at its last meet- ing in St. Louis, left the selection of the temperary officers of the convention to MoClung. Dumm, as a member of the Legisia- ture, fought for all the penitentiary leg- islation advocated by McClung. Wounded American Soldiers at Columbus on Way to El Paso __bv Chicago Tribune, CAVALRY FORCE “REPORTED ABOUT TO ENTER MEXICO i Troops Which It Is Said Will Cross Border at Once Are on Arizona Line Near San Bernardino, Mexico. EL PASO Tex., March 13.—In spite of all official denials, reports persisted here today that American cavalry on the Ari- zona State line had gathered for imme- diate crossing of the Mexican border, and might go across at any moment to- day. An advance guard of several cav- alry troops was collected on that border two days ago, with the prospect that it might be the first in Mexico. The point where the cavalry expedition is reported to be gathering to enter Mexico from the Arizona boundary is near San Bernardino, Mexico. Daylight reveaied the beginnings today of the expeditionary force which the United States Army is gathering along the border west of here for the pursuit of Francisco Villa. Six mountain guns unloaded. during the night were in readiness at Colum- bus, N. M., the scene of Villa’s raid, and the first armed camp to develop evidences that it has been selected as one of the starting points for a pursuit column. Fifty-seven carloads of battery mules and transport ani- mals also arrived in the night and Save evidence that more guns were coming. Eleven hundred men were in the Columbus camp this morning. Brigadier-General Pershing, command- er of the United States expeditionary forces, and Gen. Gabriel Gavira, com- manding the Carranza forces at Juarez, conferred in the Mexican consulate here today. ‘IT have nothing to say except that the meeting was entirely satisfactory,’’ said Gen. Pershing. “If there is anything to give out it must come from Gen. Pershing,” was the comment of Mexican Consul Garcia, the third person in the conference, which lasted a half an hour. It was the first time the two com- manders had met. Along 200 miles of the border west of here troop trains were reported pass- ing various points during the night, the result of orders released Friday by the War Department. What points except Columbus might be used to as- gemble pursuit columns was not definite- ly developed, but considerable activity was noted on the Arizona border near Nogales and also near a small Mexican settlement called San Bernardino. In that region several troops of cavalry were reported in readiness for action. No Disquieting Activity. Nogales reported that a few cannon had been discovered in the Mexican hills facing the American bouncary near there, but elsewhere along the line where the American troops were gathering no signs of disquieting activity along the Mexican side were reported. Reports here that army offi- “We Resent Coming of U.S. Troops,” Says Consul of Carranza at El) Paso Special to the Post-Dispatch. EL PASO, Tex., March 13.—The Carranzistas will not join the American expedition in running down Villa unless so ordered by Venustiano Carranza, and Carran- za has issued no such instruction. Gen. Gavira, commandant at Jua- rez, says: “We do not look for any orders of that nature, but if they come, we will obey as good soldiers should,”’ said the General. Andreas Garcia, the Carranza Consul, and other followers of the de facto Pregident who were pres- ent, affirmed Gavira’s statement. “We resent the coming of Amer- ican troops into Mexico,’’ said Ga- vira. ‘“‘We do not believe it is necessary. We believe we can catch Villa. We do not doubt the good faith of the United States and President Wilson, but the coming of American troops may result in trouble. We won't resist, but neither will we assist unless Car- ranzga orders us to. We don’t like this occupation.’’ I cers at Columbus were puzzled at the attitude of Carranza troops a few miles across the boundary were flatly denied upon investigation. Reports about Villa’s activity were hazy, but Corralitos, within striking dis- tance of the railroad on which 500 Mor- mons might return to the United States, remained the last point from which he nad been definitely reported. Troops of Mexican cavalry have been dispatched from Laguna on the line of the old Mexican Central Railway north fof Chihuahua City, direct to Casas Grandes to aid the 60 members of the Mormon colony concentrated at that point, but now cut off from communica- tion with their Chihuehua City orf Jua- rez. Gen. Gavira, commandant at Juarez, received news of the new cavalry move- ment from Gen. Garza this morning. It followed immediately on the report of a scout train which made a run down the Mexican & Northwestern Railway north of Casas Grandes, but turned back upon seeing smoke ahead at Santa Sofia, which seemed to come from a burning bridge.

Villa in Mexico. Villa. They expressed the view today that & great deal of unnecessary alarm ex- ists as to Gen. Carranza’s attitude. As to the attitude of the Mexican peopie themselves, there is some concern, but it is realized that only the develop- ments of the next few days can clear vp that phase of the situation. No Change in Fuston’s Plans. There was no indication at the War Department that negotiations for re ciprocal arrangement had in any way altered the situation on the border. Publication of Carranza’s manifesto, declaring that armed invasion of Mex- ico in pursuit of Villa would not be tol- erated except on a reciprocal basis, ap- rarently nas not resulted in any change of Gen. Funston’s instructions to pro- ceed with the pursuit of Villa in his own way and at such time as he thought best. Army officials who studied the Car- ranza manifesto were convinced that it was not intended as a communication tc the United States in any sense. The head of the de facto Government, they pointed out, was in a delicate political position, forced to satisfy conflicting elements among his own adherents in whatever course he pursues. It was ad- mitted, however, that if Carranza en- forced the sentiments expressed in his manifesto the pursuit ‘of Villa might be hampered seriously. Discussion of the possible attitude «f Carranza or of the great mass of the Mexican people is academic so far as War Department officials are con cerned. That phase of the situation rests wholly with the President: and State Department. Stone Confers With President, Sena Stone and Saulisbury of the Foreign lations Committee discussed the Mexidan situation with President Wilson today and learned the President believes he can make a reciprocal ar- rangement for pursuit of bandits on elther side of the boundary without the consent the Senate. Tho Pr@ident has under consideraticn one proposal from a member of the Cab- inet that a zone 4 miles wide be estab- lished along the boundary between Mex- ico and the United States in which authorities of both nations would have the right to pursue outlaws. Merubers of the Foreign Relations Committee have investigated the. ques. tion of allowing Mexicans to cross intc WASHINGTON, March 13.—The United States this afternoon accepted Gen. Carranza’s proposal for a reciprocal agreement by which either his troops or American troops may pursue bandits on either side of the border. A note of acceptance was sent forward | Senstor Borah urged the Senate today to drop all other legisla- tion and immediately consider the national preparedness program in view of consequences that might arise from the decision to pete Chairman Chamberlain of the Military Committee told the Senate that in his opinion the United States army did nett i enough soldiers to cope with Mexico or enough equipmen a3 added he would not be surprised to see all Mexicans rally pel the United States to pursue bandits, and it was said today that no objection is likely in the Senate to a tempwvrary agreement with Gen. Carranza. When a reply is sent to Carranza’s suggestion a definite time limit for the agreement probably will be proposed. After Chairman Stone had conferred with President Wilson he said he had fS5und the temper of Congross with re- spect to the Mexican situation ‘‘equablte an? ¢ .d.” “There is nothing to be dona by Cun-~ gress with respect to the situation that I know of at this time,” said Senator Stune. “I think that the executive has power to make a reciprocal agreement with the de facto Government of Mex- ico regarding soldiers crossing the b.r- der without submitting the matter to Congress. To submit it to Congress would mean weeks of discussion and at. tion would have to wait. “What is contemplated now, the pur- suit and capture of lawless men, is not war unless someone wants to make it war or an excuse for war. In such a contingency, of course, the whole mat- ter would be submitted to Congress.” Reinforcements Sent to Funston. While Gen. Funston was assembling his expedition on the border, three regi- ments of cavalry and one of infantry were moving to his support today from widely scattered points in the Unttel States. The cavalry was ordered out at his request Sunday night, some from the Pacific Coast, some from the Mid- dle West and some from the South.

WASHINGTON, March 13.—Senator Borah, in the Senate today, gave Presi- dent Wilson's determination to send troops across the border to capture out- laws his full indorsement, but declared it would be the height of folly for Con- gress to press preparations for war when no one could tell what the present military action might lead to. All Cen- tral America, he said, was apprehensive over the movement of American troops south of the Rio Grande, no matter what the motive might be. “Sparks of dissension are constantly flying from Europe over this hemi- sphere,”’ Senator Ssorah declared. “‘No man knows one day what emetgéncy the country may have to face the next. This defense program cannot be shaped in 4 week. It may take months to formulate the plans for national defense urged by the President. Error on Either Side. “Judging from the present condition of this legislation, one or two things must be true. Either the President is sadly in error as to the requirements of the situation which confronts us, or Con- gress is sadly in error in itS failure to respond more quickly to the President’s request. “Certainly nothing can be less unfor- tunate at such a time as this for Con- gress and the executive to disagree over this important issue. ‘“T do not disapprove of the action the President has taken in pursuing into Mexico those who invaded the United States and murdered our citizens. Inso- far as that expedition is confined to pur- suit of a fugitive band of murderers, I believe the President not only did right, but acted within his constitutional rights. I do not mean to leave even an inference of criticism of the President’s course. Keen for Action. ‘“T have been so anxious to see some vigorous action with reference to the protection of American rights that I would even be willing to compromise with constitutional questions if they were involved. “Yet no man knows the consequences which might follow from our entering Mexico even for the purpose set forth by the President. The probabilities that may arise fram the fact that we have invaded Mexico are many. “The difficulty is that we have started a train over which we cannot exercise control and we are underta solemn cbli- gation to meet any condition that may arise. ‘When you take into consideration the fact that all Central America is interest- ed and that all Central America is un- easy when she sees the power of Ameri- ca moving in her direction, no matter what the purpose may be, you must con- clude that Central America will not look upon our course in a friendly way.

Troops Across Plains and Through Mountains in Mexico. RUSH OF PREPARATIONS Infantry Sent Westward From El Paso to Relieve Calvary on Patrol Duty. By CLAIR KENAMORE. A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch, EL PASO, Tex., March 13.—The United States army is supplying itself with scouts, and persons familiar with the northern part of Mexico are flocking to the colors. Long, lean, rangy cow people throng headquarters at Fort Bliss and as fast as they are examined, qualified and sworn in they receive their instructions. These men will show the army the way across the plairfs and mountains, which are already weil known to Villa and his men. Fortunately theré are here many men who have ranged the northern part cf Mexico. Some of them are owners of cattle ranches, others have worked as cowboys there, others are mining men, Many persons who have been driven out and who have deep grudges against Villa are joining as scouts. They are going back as they always wanted to z0, with an American army. Preparations Being Pushed. In all camps and posts, preparations for the movement of troops into Mexico was pushed with all possible speed. At Fort Bliss vesterday infantry was being hurried west along the line of the El Paso Southwestern to take the place of cavalry, which will soon go southward. While no statement will be made about troops movements at headquarters, it ts known that infantry is taking the plac¢ of the Thirteenth Cavairy, which ay concentrating at Columbus. This seems to indicate that one column will enter there, The clothing of the troops changed. They are now dressed in thx heavier winter garb, but in Mexi@o they will wear khaki which is lighter and cooler. Horses are being shod, ard careful oficers are taking four extra shoes for each of the two horses he will have on the expedition. Rations which are being hurried from the North and F&st are arriving, but the troops to the west of here are not yet supplied for the campaign. Extra freight trains are running with the troop trains, taxing the facilities of the roads. As the troop trains drew out of the depot, which is in the middle of the town, townspeople lined the tracks on voth sides and gave cheer after cheer.. It was a very stirring and patriotic scene and filled with the spirit of war. The secrecy which surrounds the ex- pedition, under Gen. Funston’s instruc- tions, leaves everybody in the dark as to the probable day of departure and it is doubtful if the army leaders them- selves know. The entrance will be made when the troops are ready and in posi- tion. Regulations for Correspondents, Correspondents learned today that a series of regulations, issued by the War Department, will be enforced during the expedition. They provide for a censor with absolute powers. These regulations prevent any correspondent not employed by a paper or news association from go- ing. Feature and story writers are barred. The correspondent’s employer must give bond for his good behavior. No press photographs will be allowed, but the correspondents may carry cam- eras, and an official photographer will mike pictures. The censor is to be an officer with newspaper experience.

The physician, Dr. Villareal, was formerly an active Villa worker. Gen. Medinacietia was the man whom Villa sent to Juarez to exé- cute Gen, Tomas Ornelas, Juarez com- mander, whom Villa suspected of treach- acfoés the Mexican border from the | Mormons are now isolated. Gen, Gavira j, cry. Ornelas escaped, but a short ume to hunt down the Villa bandits: . Because of the assault which Fran- cisco Villa and the bandits who ac- companied him made on the town of Columbus, in American territory, burning houses and killing some of the inhabitants, soldiers as well as civilians, the international situation in these moments is very delicate, as the North American press have ex- cited their people against Mexico, and the Government of that country has discussed the situation in the American Congress, members of which have advised intervention . The Constitutional Government which I have the honor to represent, is also occupied diligently in an ef- fort to solve this delicate situation, trying at all costs to maintain the dignity and sovereignty of Mexico, and we yet hope that this lamentable incident may be decorously arranged and that there will be no reason for an international conflict. IT have addressed the Government of the United States through the Foreign Office stating that the inva- sion of Villa has historical prece- dents, as in the years 1880 and 1886 tw) parties of Indians coming from the United States invaded Sonora and Chihuahua, committing crimes antl depredations on the lives and properties of Mexicans. It was then agreed between the Governments of the two countries to permit the respective passage of armed forces, resulting in the ex- termination of the Indians. I have asked the American Government to pursue a like course in order to solve further difficulties, should they arise, noting that Villa and his com- panions are a group of bandits, whose acts the Mexican Government or peo- Text of Carranza’s Manifesto to the People of Mexico OLLOWING is the text of the manifesto issued by Gen.

I have not received the answer of the American Government and from the reports of my chiefs along the frontier learn that the American forces are mobilizing to pursue and capture and deliver him to the Mex- ican authorities; that the expedition is in the nature of a punitive cam- paign and that the sovereignty of Mexico will be respected. The Constitutional Government has given instructions to its confidential agent at Washington immediately to make representations that under no circumstances will any motive, be the reasons or explanations of the Unit- ed States what they may, justify the armed invasion of Mexican territory without reciprocal rights being grant- ed to the Mexicans, and that not for an instant will the invasion of Mexi- can territory or an outrage to its dignity be.tolerated. [ am sure that in this I interpret the national sentiment and that the Mexican people will worthily comply with their duty, be the sacrifices what they may, to sustain their rights and sovercizgnty. If, unfortunately, we are dragged into a war, which the United States never can justify, we will not be re- sponsible for the disastrous conse- quences. Upon the heads of the Mex- ican traitors, who, within and with- out our country, have labored long to produce this result, will fall the inexorable justice of the Mexican people. LS MEXIGAN PAPER REGARDS RAID AS A POLITICAL PLOT Official Organ Calls Columbus Attack Traitorous Work of Re- actionaries in the U. S. March 13.—The news by was first when the MBXICO CITY, of the attack on Columbus Villa made public official organ, El Pueblo, published the text of the note of the Mexican Govern- ment asking the Government at Washin- ton to permit the passage of Mexican soldiers into American territory, if such became necessary in the pursuit of Villa and at the same time granting to the lnited States the reciprocal privilege of entering Mexican territory for the same purpose. Under the caption ““‘The Columbus Case --Roguery of Natives and Foreigners,” El Pueblo says editorially: “The infamous and traitorous work of reactionaries in the United States has finally reached its most abhorrent point. Because they were impotent to stem the military and political triumphs of con- stitutionalism, they have tried: to force armed intervention by the United States in the affairs of Mexico, In an endeav- or to regain their lost power. “These enemies of civilization and lib- erty conspire against the harmony and peace that ought to prevail between the two peoples, who, because of their incli- nations, cylture, ideals and geographical rosition are called upon jointly to share the task of working out the destinies of this Western Hemisphere. “The invitation of the Mexican Gov- ernment, founded as it is in internation- al practice, is the most efficient means for satisfying public vengeance. We are profoundly convinced that the American Government, maintaining that serenity and fudgment so necessary in these un- hapny events, will follow its initial pol- icy of respect toward the Mexican Gov- ernment and will combine with it to take such action as circumstances war- rant. “In this way the misery of war thus provoked by the criminal maneuvers. of the enemies of both Governments and both peoples will have been averted.

From the heavy troop movements té Columbus, it would seem, according to officers on station there, that that point is to be made the bage of operations. It was believed that*Brigadier-General Pershing, commanding the Eighth Bri- gade, would be designated to take charge of the expeditionary force and would make Columbus his headquar- ters. The force of Gen. Pablo Bertani, com- manding the Carranza garrison at Pa- lomas, on the Mexican side of the bor- der south of Columbus, was increased today by the arrival of 80 men, bring- ing his forces to a total of 2000. By to- night or tomorrow it is expected that the American garrison in Columbus 1100 men will be augmented by the ar- rival of two regiments of infantry, a signal company and a hospital detach- ment. Two squadrons of the Twelfth Cavalry, from Fort Robinson, Neb., are expected later. A battery of the Sixth Field Artillery, consisting of 132 men, equipped with four 38-inch fleid guns and 12 caissons, arrived today from Nogales, Aris.

After three hours the enemy withdrew. Only the protection of long-range artillery averted a panic. “The enemy then tried to offer re- sistance at El Emeihale, four kilome- ters south of Afisch, in positions he had prepared in advance, but ware forced by Turkish troops to retreat into the fortified camp of Shiekh Ouman, under the protection of the cannon of ships anchored in the Gulf of Aden. “The Turks destroyed the town and fortifications of El Emeihale and cap- tured supplies there.” 14 Drowned When British Auxiliary Is Sunk.

O’Meara and Gover. nor Confer on Tender Made by St. Louis Colonel. ' By a Staff Correspondent of the Post< Dispatch, JEFFERSON CITY, March 13.—Adju- tant-General John B. O'Meara today held a private conference with Gov, Ma-« jor concerning the action of Col. Arthur B. Donnelly in offering, through Con- gressman Dyer, the First Regiment, Mis- souri National Guard to the United States War Department for service in Mexico, without consulting the heads of the militia department here. Both de- clined to make public what was said in the conference and neither would say whether Donnelly ts to receive a repri- mand. It is the belief in official circles, how- ever, that Donnéttx will be spared the humiliation of a public reprimand, be- cause he made the offer of the regiment to Congressman Dyer instead of to the war Department direct. Dyer, it is pointed out, had no power to accept the offer any more than any other citizen would have. O'Meara was indignant at Donnelly’s action, when he learned of it Saturday, and gave out a statement fin which he characterized it as “impudent,” ““unmili- tary” and “an outragerous breach of discipline.” He declared the only way any part of the guard could be offered for service is through the Governor, who is commander in chief. Officials close to OMeara and Gov. Ma- jor say that Donnelly’s move is looked upon as one intended to make political capital for the Republican party .in St, Louis and point out that Donnelly, a Re- publican politician, made the offer of the First Regiment through Dye, a Repub- ‘can Congressman, thus ignoring his su- perior officers in the national guard. They say that this is another reason why Dorhelly will not be reprimanded, as such action might also be looked upon as political revenge. O’Meara tendered the services of the entire Missouri strong, to the War Department Satur. day afternoon and said it could be en- trained and started for the mobilizatio camp within 48 hours. .

The letter is in answer to one from Rumsey challenging the committee to submit to him proof of violations, for investigation.

NEW YORK March 13.—Edgar MT. Brackett today admitted to a reporter that he had under advisement as coun- sel for Eleanor Pendleton Davidson, a former chorus girl, an attack upon the validity of the annulment of her mar- riage to young Louis Marshall Ream, son of the late millionaire, Norman B. Ream. It is reported that the papers would be filed this week. Although the annulment of the mar- riage was ordered by Supreme Court Justice Chester fully four years ag”, such was the secrecy of the proceedings before the referee that it now becomes public for the first time exactly in what manner young Ream and his bride were set free, The process appears satisfactory to Norman B. Ream, father of the young man, for, in spite of threats of disinheritance at the time of the secret marriage. he left to Louis an equal share with the other five chil- dren in two-thirds of his estate, the assessed value of which was $4,%08,026.

VON WIEGAND. 4 Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and the New York Werid. AMSTERDAM, March 13.—For the first the war Berlin was “cakeless” In tearooms of the big hotels and in cafes which are crowded every afternoon from 4 to 7, Berliners had to eat zwieback with their tea or coffee in- stead of their favorite ‘‘*kuchen.” An investigation of the shortage of ffour and bread in several sections of Berlin and suburban cities developed that, aside from some hitch in the dis- tribution of flour, bakers had gone short baking bread in order to bake vari- cakes, which may be sold without bread cards and at better profit. As punishment for eating too much cake the Commander in Chief of the Berlin military district issued an order that Berlincrs go eakeless for. one week, commencing yesterday, forbidding the baking of cakes in. order that flour would be available for bread. The order applies to everybody. In consequence, neither the big hotels where society has its tea, nor the smallest cafe can bake or serve cake, The municipal! in yesterday. tin.e on Ous authorities of greater Berliu tomorrow will commence issuing new butter cards. Kach adult and each child under ll gets an allowance of one- quarter of a pound of butter a week. Children over 11 will have to go butter- less;-that is, they will get no butter cards. Potato Cards to Be Added to These for Butter and Bread in Berlin. BERLIN, via Londen, dAarch 14.—Po- tato cards, the issuance of which has be.n made necessary by the shortage due, it is asserted, to speculators hold- ing out for higuer prices. will take their place alongside the bread and but ter cards in Berlin, March 2. The first cards will a 60-day period and allew the holders to pur- chase 11 English pounds of potatoes every 12 days, probably at tne uniform price of 65 pfennigs. The seneral pota- to situation during the 60 days will de- termine whether the plan must be con- tinued. In announcing this step, Burgomaster von Wermuth said that the population had of late been living, 80 far as po- tatoes were concerned, from hand to mouth. He anticipated, however, that all the difficulties would over in few days. a UWwing to the recent shortage bread, the military authorities today forbade the production of all cakes be- tween March 13 and March 19, inclusive made of white or potato flour, and their sale between March 15 and 19. This step was taken on the complaint of many bakers that other bakers who are cover be e — ee Oe ES a ae ENGLAND ASKED PORTUGAL TC ME PART INTHE WAR -__—_———— Legation of Small Country Makes This Announcement at Washington.

They can make up their minds on plain facts or actual happenings within the past 19 months, without studying in- volved histories, remote events, obscure causes, Or political, social or religious For safe guidance in re- gard to their own conduct they only need to see clearly the happenings and tendencies in Europe since the first of August, 1914 The Conclusion Drawn. Relying on accomplished facts and re- vealed tendencies, thinking Americans have concluded that the great combat is between autocratic government and constitutional government, between rule by persons and classes commissioned by God or some church, and rule by per- sons elected by the people to be gov- erned between political systems which exercise a strong centralized authority over the individual and systems which leave the individual as free .as possible. Russia has an autocratic government and a Divine Right Czar, but ts tied to France by an “understandinge’’ which she honorably observes. Japan is an empire with an imperfectly executed constitution adapted:from that of Ger- many, but is tied to Great Britain by a treaty which she entered into before the present war. In such a combat the sympathies and interests of all America—North, Central and South—are necessarily on the side of freedom. Again, as a plain matter of fact, the central monarchies have been success- ful invaders or aggressors in the West, East and Southeast of Europe, and have from the start been seeking increase of territory or trade, or both, by conques- tion. Calls Allegations Absurd. The actual events during the war have made absurd all the allegations vf Germany and Austria-Hungary thet they entered on the war for defensive purposes, or under-fear of invasion eith- er insidious or open. In the prosecu- tion of their intensely aggressive war- fare they have disregarded pre-existing conventions for the mitigation of war and proved themselves more destructive and oppressive conquerors than Europe has known since the Turks conquered Southeastern Europe. Their armies have had the use of more effective instruments of destruc- tion than any previous armies have pos- sessed, and their doctrine of “military necessity”’ justifies in their view break- ing, the seizing of hostages, the whole- sale killing of hostages and other non- combatants, the destruction of churches, libraries and other treasures and monu- ments of civilization, the exactions of huge ransoms and fines, and the execu- tion of women for aiding the enemy. Even the Turks preserved St. Sophia. The treatment of Belgium, Poland and Servia: the reaction of these population and the present sufferings of those countries demonstrate beyond a doubt the extreme barbarity and frightfulness of Germany and Austro-Hungarian war- fare. Their aerial and submarine war- fare leads all free observers to the same judgment. Their methods of conducting war have outraged not only their vic- tims, but the neutral nations also. No such simple and unquestionable statement can be made about the desires of the several belligerents at the settle- ment when the war is over, because those desires are various in kind and some of them are not yet frankly stated. Certain Desires Plain. Nevertheless, certain desires have been made plain. Germany will claim more territory, and particularly more ports and mines of coal and ores, a wide «on- trol of Europe, and a large influence in the world through her invincible army, and an increased navy. Austria-Hun- gary desires more territory and ports. In disregard of a solemn treaty, she earlier ‘annexed Herzegovina and Bos- nia, and now she wants to possess Ser- via, Montenegro and Albania by right of conquest. Russia desires free access to the Mediterranean from the Black Sea, tossession of Constantinople, and the es- tablishment of an independent Balkan state or states with Russian sympa- thies. Great Britain proposes to confirm and strengthen that unity of the empire which the war has demonstrated so strikingly, and for the first time, anda to make sure of the freedom of the seas for herself and her dominions and de- pendencies under all circumstances. To these ends she will wish to prevent Germany from acquiring anything more than a commercial or investment inter- est in the land route to India, and from resuming her colonies, France will insist that Alsace-lLorrnine be restored to her, and that an indem- nity be paid her for the destruction Germany has wrought in Northern France. ; Italy will claim all the Italian provinces which Austria-Hungary stil} held on Aug. 1, 1914 Great Britain. France, Russia and Italy will surely de- mand securities against another period of competitive armament followed by an- ether general war. To this end they will insist that the central monarchies must gain nothing hy their going to war in 1914, but, on the contrary, must lose something besides wiping out of their accumulated capital, as a lesson on the probable results of war making in the modern world. Where t« U. S&S, Common Interests? Which of these desires do the Ameri- can people sympathize with and Ap- prove? In which of them have they a cominon interest? Which of them is in- consistent with American ideals of free. dom and brotherhood? The answers to these questions are plain. The actual events of the past 19 months have made them so. All genuine Ame ricans, native or foreign born, will answer them alike A great majority of the American people, who have reflected on the is- dom, justice and brotherhood, which ll true sires or ainis of Germany and Austria- Hungary are not. ‘ ‘ sues of the war, sympathize with and cordially approve all the desires or ob- Jects of Russia, Great Britain, France ond Italy as above described, and con- demn with equal dec ision the desires of Germany and Austria- -Hungary; for the desires of the four entente allies ere consistent with the ideals of free- Americans cherish, and the de- ed Americans now believe that, for th» good of the world, the allies should succeed and Germany, Austria-Hun- gary, Bulgaria and Turkey fail, an that Belgium, Poland, Servia and Ar- menia should be restored, so far %% practicable. Especially do they hol that the sudden and frightful attack of Germany on Belgium in violation of the reutrality treaties was a crime against all civilized society, and that the heroic resistance of the Belgian army anc Government, which made possible the _ Almost all thoughtful and disinteract« pi rae, segundos ees battle of ton ‘Manes’ —— Pisg Tear ea Pa : France and Great Britain to block ever since the Geramn campaign on the western front, deserves to win for Bei- gium the complete restoration of its territory and its independence, and m- demnification for its material losses.

Intelligent mothers everywhere realize that little children should be dosed sparingly, and yet some treat- ment for cold troubles is necessary. Joplin (Mo.) mothers have solved this problem by the use of Vap-O- ub. This is the “external” South- in treatment introduced here last winter. Applied at night over the throat and chest, the heat of the Dody releases the ingredients in the form of vapors, and thus the medication is inhaled with each breath through the air passages to the lungs. Vap-O- Rub gives quicker relief than in- ternal medicines, and can be used freely. with perfect safety on the stinallest child. Mrs. Mabel Hawkins, 1407 Pearl St.. Joplin, writes: “My druggist sent me a trial jar of Vick’s Vap-0O- Rub, and. my baby girl, oe VICKS months old, had a severe cold and was threatened with pneumonia. |! applied Vap-O-Rub on her throat anu chest well, and covered with a warm flannel cloth, and it worked like magic. I+have four small children and now if they get croupy in the evening I_rub them with Vick’s Vap O-Rub Salve—and that is al' that is necessary.” Mrs. J. W. Drew, 822 Ohio Av., Jeplin, says: “I have ed Vap-0O- Rub frequently on the whole family with splendid results. I think t% much better than internal medi- cines.” Mrs. &S. M. Elack, 206 Moffett Av, Joplin, writes: “Last spring I had a very deep cold with a bad cough and sore throat. The first night I used Vap-O-Rub the soreness left my throat, and the third day after I had begun its use my cough, cold and sore throat all were zone. I think it better than anything I have ever used for colds.” Three sizes—25c, D0c and $1.00. were Wie GIVE: EAGLE STAMPS They perceive, too, that international | relations are rapidly getting more and more intimate; that the Americans are not so detached from Europe and Asia as they were 30 or even 10 years 2&0. and that Washington's wise advice against entangling alliances is by ** means as applicable to American needs and interests today as it was when it was uttered. , If these are the opinions and judg- ments of the great majority of the American people on the conduct of the war and its rightful results, have the people any corresponding interests to waintain or duties to perform? In view of the unprecedented horrors and de- structions of the present war. it is un- doubtedly the interest of the Americans to protect themselves at all costs from invasion by»Germany, supported by any , possible allies, even if the risk be very small and the price of the insurance high. Most Advantageous Method. The promptest, surest and most advan- tageous method of accomplishing that result is entrance by the United States into a permanent offensive and defensive alliance with Great. Britain and France to maintain the freedom of the seas for these allies under all circumstances and tw oppose an attack by sea on any one of them. To this new alliance other na- tions, present and belligerent or present neutrals, might be welcomed, but they would not be necessary to its success. Germany, Austria-Hungary and Turkey would not be admissible because ‘hey so easily absolve themselves from keeping their word. In favor of this alliance the following considerations are pertinent: 1. War between the United States and either Great Britain or France need no longer te thought of as possible. °. These three nations are of one mind as regards religious toleration, the value of force and stable political institutions, and the physical and spiritual elements of true national greatness. 3. The interests of the United States, Great Britain and France are identical itr respect to that freedom of the seas which would secure free exchange of commodities to all nations in time of peace and to the three allied nations in times of war. Insurance Against Invasion. 4. The insurance against’ invasion which this alliance would provide for the United States would be adequate, for there is no sea Power which would carry en army of even 100,000 men across either the Atlantic or the Pacific if opposed by the combined navies of Great Britain. France and the United States. o. The alliance would be effective not only for its immediate object but for the discouragement of war making through- out the world. It would possess abun- dant and well-distributed ports naval siations, dock yards, mines of coal and cres, oil wells, munition factories, food and clothing supplies, and high industri- al and financial capacity, although it would be strengthened in important re- spects by the accession of Brazil, Ar- gentina and Chile. §. Such an alliance would be able two give some support, though not securitr, to the European maritime naticns which are exposed to land attacks by Germany and Austria-Hungary, nam ly, France, Belgium, Holland. Den- mark, Sweden, Norway and Greece, anid thereby to make attack on then le's ettractive, or more costly, and there- fore less probable. ‘. It would probably reduce the pro- gressive increase of the heavy bur’en Great Britain now carries alone in or- ager to Keep control of the séas in tine of war and the co-operation of the American navy would make this reduc tion safe. 8. It would dispose of all doubts and questions about the execution of the Monroe Doctrine.

; Ae Ne ee men — asta Re Continact ’ rom Preceding Pas- - | NEW as in America, and thus absmdoning the traditional Ametican policies of tsola- tion And neutrality, it is necegpary to discuss not only the interests of the American people, but their duties. - The American Iberties are derived his- terically from German,’ Dutch, English and French sources.” ~ Represent Saffering. They represent not only struggies and sufferings on American soil, but long conflicts and immerse sacrifices in West- ern Europe to set up and strive toward _ the igeals of individual Mberty, public justigg and human brotherhood. Ameri- cans recognize their immeasurable in- inese to their own ancestors on ntinent during any or all of the ree centuries, and are paying the gndebtedness by preserving, improving and passing down the ancestors’ work. People who have read history from the _ ware of the Dutch republic know how much America is indebted to Dutch struggles for liberty, to German Protes- tantifm, to Magna Charta and the En- glish commonwealth, to Huguenot hero- lain, and to French insistence, through many Woes and reverses, on liberty, equality and fraternity. The Americen republic repays thes¢ obligations in. part by standing as @ striking example of the strength, securi- ty, industria! efficiency and prosperity which are attainable under a regime of large public and private Mberty; and with this partial payment both America and Furope have heretofore been con- tent. The present war has, however. reveale@ danzers for public liberty {fn Europe and the Americas which were not realized by the freer Fluropean na- tions or by the American peoples untl! 1914 and 1915. Threatens Rest of Europe. All persons who observe and reflect can. now perceive that the immense military power of Germany, Austria- Hungary and Turkey skillfully com- bined, scientifically directed by Prussia, and ruthlessly used, threatens the pub- lic Vherties of the rest of Kurope—and, indeed, of all the world. Under analogous circumstances, in pri- vate life and brave and generous men who felt under serious obligations to a neighbor would go to that neighbor's help tf he saw him in dire distress: and thé more acute the distress and the greater the ris* run in bringing help, the gurer it would be. The brave debtor would take the risk and relieve the neighbor before it was too late. Therein he ould be doing a plain duty, as well as Obeving a generous impulse and serving his own highest interest. The Same moral principles apply with equal forte to national action. Now that the long-prepared foreign policies, State oblects and military methods of Germany and Austria-Hun- gary have been made plain in the sight of Bil men, the neutral attitude*of the United States ts no longer satisfactory to Americans who give attention to the chief events of this sudden collapse of civilization. It is time for lovers of pubjic liberty and justice to cease to be merely lookers-on at the prodigious catastrophe. Tt is time to express forct- blygtheir convictions as to the side on which the right Nes, and to make ready 5 oe part tn the terrible strife. Tt ts time to feel and speak strone- ly about something more sthan the rights of neutral. It is time for the deepest-rooted and strongest of republics to consider -how it can best bring direct help to harassed and bleeding France and Great Britain. be Time ¢o Take Sides. It {s time for all the Americans to ‘take sides openly with the European peoples who are now resisting military despotism and dangerous national am- ditions, and te discharge their obliga- tions #0 the liberty-loving generations of the past and of the future. Tt is by no means certain that the people of the United States as a whole aré prepared for any such grave new departure, but if the foregoing argu- ment shall be found to be sound, and ‘c indicate the course which the people and its Government may be ready to pursue for the defense of republican ideals and the promotion of lasting peace, at some time to be determined by the wishes and interests of Great Britain and France as well as those of ths United States, certain inferences m: ¥ be drawn With regard to immedi nte’expenditures for “preparedness.” Opngress will concentrate them on the se and its adjuncts.

Holthaus told the Prosecuting Attor- ney that he met with a cold reception when he went to the ice factory at 9:50 Pp. m. Saturday, after receiving a tip that quail was stored there. Employes at first refused to admit him, but he crawled'on to the main floor of the Plant, which was covered with large cakes of manufactured ice, and he ‘slipped up’’ on his. quarry. In his offi- cial report he said he crawled over 4%6,- 000 cakes of ice before he found what he was looking for—a chip basket, con- taining 12 quail. He confiscated the basket and ‘“‘slid out.” The penalty for having quail out of season is a fine of $530 for the first bird and $ for each additional bird. Muck- ermann’s maximum fine, if he is con- victed, would be $106. GIULA MOROSINI’S MARRIAGE TO EX-POLICEMAN ANNULLED Judge Declares Husband Is “Despic- able” and Late Banker’s Daughter a “Weak Woman.” NEW YORK, March 13.—Giula P. Morosina, or “Giula M. Werner,” on court records, daughter of Jay Gould’s partner, is free of Arthur M. Werner, once a mounted policeman in New York. Supreme Court Justice G. D. B. Hasbrouck of Kingston an- nulled the marriage. In the Justice’s opinion he says the wife is a “weak woman” “of no intel- lectual strength,’ a victim of the “sublime passidn,” andg characterizes Werner as a man “unusually des- picable.” It is also established -by-the-opin- ion that Werner paid $15,000 to his first wife, Alice Redding, to obtain a divorce in Nevada in 191). That divorce is declared to be void for the reason that neither Werner nor | his wife ever acquired a legal resi- | dence in that State.

He had a stab wound in the abdo- men. He refused treatment when the doctor appeared at the front door. He was taken in an ambulance to the city hospital. Drain told the police that he had attended a card party at the home of Roy Hennes, 2609 Fads avenue, and panied by a girl accosted him at Jef- fersun and Park avenues. The man asked Drain for a cigaretts, Drain said, and then a match. When Drain said that he did not have either the man called him a “smart guy,’ Drain said.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 13.—Frank Moran went through his workout yesterday as if he had only three days left to get into condition for the bout with Jess Willard. In the morning he plunged through snow heaps and over muddy roads for seven miles; in the afternoon he bat- tered the punching bag, shadow boxed, fought wiih the pulleys and thén pro- ceeded to lambast his sparring partners three, as if he had a grudge against each of them. Billy McKinnon took two rounds of punishment. Bartley Maddon stopped divers wallops for two rounds, and then Frank Kendall took a pummeling for the same period, One of the biggest crowds that has attended the Moran workouts was on hand to see Willard’s challenger, more than 1200 trying to get a peek at the sorrel-topped battler. Of this number 500 were fortunate enough to get into the gym, and these left behind them the generous contribution of $102, which Frank sit down to the Save a Home Fund. Mvoran appeared to work with increased vigor and his rest apparently did him more good than any work could possibly have done. Jess Willard spent the day in comparative seclusion, after his regular Sunday morning jaunt through Central Park. Inter-Collegiate Basket Teams Close Season With Penn and Princeton Tied NEW YORK, March ?1\-—Princeton and Fensylvania, by winding up the regular season tied for the championship of the In- tercollegiate Basket Ball League, brought to a fitting end one of the most exciting series that has ever been waged. No matter what the outcome of the play- off series between the Tigers and the Quak- ers, it can hardly be more surprising than the result of the league race. ennsylvania had a green, unorganized five at the begin- ning of the year and the Princeton team, al- though boasting a few ‘individual: stars. seemed to be the stronger. Hence the vic- torious chase which these two led thro the league series is ample indication that - quality they lack nothing in comparison with winners of previous years.

The Innis- fails were returned the winners, 1—. Yesterday marked the close of the sea- son for the local professional kickers, and a 200d crowd was on hand. Rated as one of the strongest elev- ens in the Windy City, the Hyde Parks proved the easiest of picking for the Millers. True, Manager Jack Evans was forced to get in to the lineup, because one of his regulars missed the train, Put this hardly made any great difference. One thing has been proven beyond a doubt in the inter-city games played here this season. This is that St. Louis teams ranked with the best in the coun- try. Out-of-town teams played five games here during the campaign, and were turned back in each out. Locals Outclass Chicago. no real outstanding stars Their for- the Although the There were of the Hatters yesterday. wards simply outclassed those of Hyde Parks, the halfbacks fed their forwards with greater accuracy, While the back field men generally always managed to send the ball out of harm's reach.

Mackey counted the only legitimate goal for the Hyde Parks in the second half. The other marker was a gift, Ribby Murphy, the Miller half- back, sending it through his own goal.

JOSEPH PULITZER. April 10, 1907. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Bryan’s Attitude Towards Wilson. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. There has teen a deal of speculation concern- ing Col. Willlam Jennings Bryan's position to- tward President Wilson in the forthcoming Demo- cratic national convention. There has been much eenijecture as to his position, and much of it without reason. I think his policy and action are clearly outlined by his brother, Charles W. Bryan, in his announcement of his gubernatorial Candidacy in his letter asking for the Democratic nomfnation for Governor of Nebraska in the pri- maries. He candidate on a platform of eight which he says he will advoeate. extract from the first: As touching Democratic administration, man in approval of the great works accomplished by President Wilson and the Democratic Congress, nor in ADVOCACY OF THE RENOMINATION AND RE-ELECTION OF PRESIDENT WILSON. The pending legisiation tn favor of giving independence io the people of the Philippines, and the certain early success of the administration's rurat credits bill, mark the most faithful redemption of ali the legislative pledges made to the people of the nation by the Baltimore .convention, and entitle the ad- ministration and the Démocratiec Congress to the unreserved approval of the country, : In response to this announcement of his broth- ers cafididacy, Col William Jennings Bryan Writes him from Miami, Fla., under date of Feb. So, as follows: fam very much gratified to learn that consented to enter the Democratic primary as candi- date for Governor. I am in positien to know of your devotion to every reform for which progressive _democracy stands, and shall gladly avail myself of this opportunity to repay part of my obligation to you for your unselfish labors during the past twenty years. Call upon me for any service that TI can render, W. J. BRYAN, This is the entire letter and it suggests no ob- jection to his brother's avowal that he “yields first place to no man in aproval of the great vorks accemplis‘ied by President Wilson and the Democratic Congress, nor in advocacy of the re- nomination and re-election of President Wilson.” It is a practical declaration of the purpose of Col. Bryan to makea campaign in Nebraska in ad- VYocacy of his brother's claims, and he cannot do this without indorsing his platform, in which he declares himself for the President's renomination and re-election as a first plank. If Col. Bryan leads the Nebraska delegatign to the Democratic national convention, it is unquestionably clear from his own avowal that he will come to St. Louis as the advocate of President Wilson’s nomi- ration. The Colonel may differ from the Presi- dent in some matters of policy, but he is not a Republican or Populist anarchist. And he will not sulk in his tent. He will render yeoman Bervice in Nebraska, and elsewhere, to the Demo- ticket, state the forthcom- THOMPSON, bases. his clalins as a enumerated Here is an issues, affairs and the national .

Your news columns of Thursday carried the fol- lowing statement by Senator Stone: if I could have my way TI would take some step to save this country from becoming embroiled in the European war through the recklessness of some thoughficss citizens. And in eriticism of his position, may I be permitted to capress an opinion. | It i5 a well-established rule of law that any con- tract that is one-sided, or inequitable, is not bind- ing and this principle Is peculiarly applicable to the proposed: dental of our citizens of their admit- ted right to travel on the merchant ships ‘of bel- ligerent Powers. Under stress of necessity, our country may exact taxes, limited only to the Government's need, ex- ercise the right and power of seizing private prop- erty, of circumstances require it and draft the in- dividual into its armed service. Reduced to a fina] analysis, this means the citizen, at the requirement of his country, must render his all, including his life, if need be. This unquestionable obligation of a citizen itn turn produces a reciprocal obligation from his country to afford him every needed and possible protection in the enjoyment of his rights sanc- ticnied by law. Under these conditions, a nation actuated bv fear ef consequences, which would be so base as to withhold all possible protection, would be a sorry epéectacie, indeed. lL. A. FASSETT. ee ene WHAT CHAMP CLARK CAN Do. Fiom the New York World. : “Both tales are lies, plain lies,” said Speaker Clark of the documentary evidence presented by trying to control the action of Congress on the Gore and McLemore resolutions and that Richard Bartholdt had written to Alphonse Koelble sug- sesting that a Champ Clark boom be started tn New York by.“non-German Democrats, of course.” ‘The World chéerfully leaves the Speaker and themselves.

Refusing to permit United States troops to en- ter Mexican territory in pursuit of Villa without reciprocal permission for Mexican troops to enter United States territory, Carranza charges that if Mexico is dragged into war the responsibility will rest with the Mexican traitors in and out of Mex- ico who have labored for intervention. Carranza’s reasoning is bad. It is true that the invasion of Mexico for the punishment of Villa was brought about by Villa and other enemies of Carranza. But the Carranza Government alone can bring about intervention. If, instead of consenting to and co-operating with the American expedition against Villa, the Carranza Government opposes it and persists in viewing it as a hostile act against Mexico, intervention will become neces- sary. The prime cause of our expedition into Mexico is the weakness of Carranza. The United States has served him well. It has recognized his feeble Government. It has given him opportunity to restore order in Mexico, submitting patiently to outrages on Americans. It accepted his promise to punish Villa for the murder of Americans at Santa Ysabel two months ago. He has proved his inability to do so or even to keep Villa out of American territory. We now propose to sup- press his most dangerous enemy. Carranza’s request for reciprocal privileges, al- though having no ground of reason, will be granted to satisfy Mexican opinion, but his atti- tude towards our primitive expedition and his record as a blunderbuss make it necessary for us to prepare for any eventuality. The unpreparedness of the American arm) do even the modest task assigned to it without purchasing new equipment and straining our army resources is a startling exposure of the mili- tary unpreparedness of the nation. The first duty of Congress is to provide for an adequate army with the best modern equipment and an adequate navy manned and equipped at every point for efficient defense service. From this standpoint the Villa outrage should serve good ends o-¢-¢—________— PREPAREDNESS V8. UNPREPAREDNESS. There is no more pitiable spectacle in the world than an unprepared army trying to fight a pre- to pared army. The woman who refuses to raise her son to be a soldier when his country needs soldiers cannot complain if he falls a victim to the superior men and arms of her country’s enemies The opponents of preparedness say they do not want this country* turned into an armed camp. No one does, but if it must be turned an armed camp, we prefer that it be our into ours, not enes.y’s. oe — WHERE OLD EXCUSES FAIL. The sailing vessel Silius was neither of bellig- erent character nor was she armed nor could she have been trying to escape from a submarine or ram the same. Nevertheless, the surviving mem- bers of her crew, including seven Americans of whom one was seriously injured, says that she was torpedoed and sunk without warning off the coast of France, and only by luck did any of those on board escape. If their story proves to be true, have to say about it? The Lusitania was torpedoed and sunk on the excuse that she was armed, which proved to be untrue. The Arabic was later torpedoed and sunk on the excuse that she was about trying to ram the submarine, although this was denied by the surviving officers of the Arabic and never proved otherwise. The Ancona was still later torpedoed and sunk on the excuse that she was trying to get away, although at the time the torpedo was launched she was at a standstill and The Persia then went down, taking with her prac- ically all on board who might know whence came the explosion, and Vienna and Berlin both denied had rood what will Berlin helpless that a Teutonic submarine any part in the affair. In this succession of acts of submarine frightful- ness on the part of the Teutonic allies there has been a singularly parallel succession of new ex- cuses following successive assurances ageinst a repetition of massacres or attempted massacres on other excuses. As all the old excuses are exhaust- ed or not available in the Silius case under the armed merchantman order, what remains to be seid save that the American and other surviving sailors of this Norwegian bark are lying” oe TULIP BULBS FOR FOOD. According to the Frankfurter Zeitung, vast quantities of tulip bulbs are sent across the Dutch border- into Germany, where they are being used. not for ornament, but for food. The paper states that these bulbs were used for food purposes 400 years ago, and mentions an Antwerp kitchen, in 1575, where they were treat- ei as a kind of onion. Even the botanist, Clausi- us. used to advise them for table use. The ryori- vuri of the Japanese was to all purposes the same thing, only the Japanese variety was a hybrid with a lily (the tiger lily). The bulb of the tulip contains starch, glucose and dextrine, and “when cooked with sugar igs very palatable,” says the paper. It may seem dreadful to eat these beauties. but as they are another relief from the English starva- tion plan, they ought to be acceptable, more espe- cially as their intrinsic food value is so consider- able, and their proper preparation makes them a pleasant addition to any table. REDE on een Te ne On ee MILITIAMEN ‘‘OFFER THEIR SERVICES.’’ Adjutant-General O'Meara says Col. A. B. Don- nelly of the First Regiment had no right to tender the services of that command to the President and reproves him therefor. But the services of the entire Missour! brigade of National Guard are tendered by Gen. O'Meara himself. What right has any militia officer, subordinate or superior, to make such a tender? Offers of the sort commit only the person making them and such members of the guard as may individually and specifically have authorized him to speak for them. It is probable that every member of the First Regiment has not authorized Col. Donnelly to tender his service and that every member of the entire brigade has not authorized Gen O'Meara to become his spokesman. In accordance with a pleasant patriotic cus- ‘ tom, militia officers throughout the country are | we making tenders of the services of their men, but they should give citizens no illusions as to the exact place the militia occupies in defense. Prob- ably each private would have as much authority to commit a command as the officers. The nilitia as an organization cannot be compelled to engage in service outside of its state except in case Of actual invasion of the United States. Was Villa's brief foray an invasion? Should the Mexican operations prove difficult and protracted, citizens will be given many object lessons on the limitations of the present national guard organization and the need for reserves un- der Federal control. Be NRE a BRYAN EKNOCKS HIMSELF OUT. Col. William J. Bryan approves the Wilson ad- ministration’s sending troops into Mexico to pun- ish Villa. He acquits the President of any desire to make war upon Mexico and says the use of mil- itary force is necessary in order to protect Amer- icans and restore order across the border. What. becomes of Col. Bryan’s eloquent argu- hents against preparedness on the ground that being lovers of peace and doers of justice, we do not need large available military forces to defend ourselves, because nobody will attack us? We are peaceably disposed towards Mexico; we want to do more than justice to our neighbors, yet against our will we are forced to use military force to Americans from murder and spollation. How can we do what Col. Bryan says we must de without adequate military forces and equip- He will admit that the stronger our forces and the better our equipment, the more quickly, economically and thoroughly will we do the work.

ANTWINE ON THE ARMY. 66 W HAT has happened down on the Mexican border probably gives us all a pretty to,’ Mr. Antwine said. clear idea as to what our army amounts ‘“*It is quite as futile and incoherent as our army men have ~ssured us it is. It will serve for the purpose of hunting down bandits in the rugged country along the Rio Grande, but against any more formidable foe it ‘vould be help less. As I see it, we owe Villa a great debt o! sratitude. He has shown us up. Imagine an army camp being surprised and looted by such an armed rabble as that which Villa brought out of Mexico! It is absurd. The explanation of ‘t that the army is all that has been alleged of i: by its bitter- est critics. For all practical purposes it amounts to no army at all. ‘‘Bvery army man knows this just as every navy man knows our navy is deficient in submarines and battle cruisers. Our army is a joke. Columbus proves it. That raids amounts to the audacity of one hitting a policeman. It shows in what contempt the army is held by Villa, who-is a very good judge of what it amounts to. We have got to overhaul our army. It costs too much money to be as ineffectual as it is, there is too much monkey-business in con nection with aviation and other modern adjuncts to military service, and danger from one quarter and another is too great for further dillydallying. If our army were as good as an equal unit out of the Ger man or the French armies we would have a great deal better foundation upon which to build than we have now. We have a great friend in Villa, I think. His friendship is a little rough, but we shall thank him in the end.’’ c _ - It will gratify the public to learn that last year's apple crop is about to be thrown on the market by the cold storage people at a great loss. With appies as plentiful as they were last Fall, it was a mystery to most of us why they were so high in the market. The reason advanced is that the coli storage people made an attempt to corner the market, but the war has so far destroyed the demand for applies from Burope that the market is glutted. Of course, what impresses one about this explanation of the sit- vation is that the cold storage people did not know about the war in Burope. We doubt that. We have seen an occasional cold storage man, and he had the foolish look of a fox.

The t bank is also a fortificd tract of ad, and, like any other place, can be en at a price. The Germans have n made to pay a tremendous price | what they have gained. Following the costly German division cks, both sides dug themselves into w positions, from which the Germans ve had to start afresh. The whole stion is one of profit and loss and are certain of being on the right «ide ‘the account. @The most important feature is that have not thrown in our general re- at all, as the local reserves have erto sufficed to halt the German acks. This, undoubtedly, is the most eful sign of our superiority and one fF the best omens of our victory. *Our infantry is superb. Literally, t Germans have to be kept back. Never—not even at the Marne—have they shown more bitter attacking. But vee are not in the market to buy land at an millionaire rates.’ * Defense of Verdun Reorganized. #rom other reliable sources the cor- eepondent learned that the command is reorganized the defense of Verdun. € principle now is to defend the for- es. instead of being defended by it, ied the underground and sheltered munications in and around it have 7. been increased four fold since the bat- tle began. a Whatever happens, the general equili- b¥ium of the French front from the Meuse to the Vosges will be maintained. It is estimated that the Germans have fifed more than 4,000,000 siege shells, be. sides heavy and light field shells. In firing over the Forges River the Ger- mans chopped down the Boise des Cor- ux (Wood of the Crows), reducing t tree trunks to a pulp and sawdust. normous slabs of earth rolled down tar the hill crest, damming the river astoss which a Bavarian division ad- variced. The lusty clamour of the charge of 18,000 men was drowned in the on roar. The climax of the bombardment pre- céded another attack by a whole di- vision at Bethincourt. The German pris- oners captured ‘in the course of the }e#ompt French counter attack were amazed that the French stood the un- peecedented shelling. The intense pride ‘the whole of France in the heroism of the poilus is reflected in German fmiration. The French determination fight to a victorious end is undimin- ed. Senator Henry Berenger, a member of Senate’s Army Commission, writes an editorial in the Paris Midi: “Who says the grandsons before Ver- exceed the grandfathers before The homage paid the insolent enemy is twice welcome the pollus as well as all Frenchmea ; appreciate it and its price; 1914-1916 has _ Wiped out and redeemed 1870, not only 3 to, the entire world, but also to Ger- Germany now admires France ny. ada has found what the French army is ‘worth, Let us accept, simply yet proud- | 1g) this first moral gain." ‘t Battle for Caures Wood. ~officer who has returned from the Verdun front gives the following _ description of the battle for possession wera ; (was Was wiped out and 14 chasseurs rea Wood: . jaffair of the Caures Wood is one st dramatic and most glorious wf the battle of Verdun.

However, our chasseuers main- tain the same impassibility. “Toward midday we perceived large parties of the enemy who, after having advanced toward the wood of Haumont, turned toward the Caures Wood, with »the intention of taking us in the rear. All our telephonic communications had been destroyed the evening before and we were no longer able to communicate with the main body of our troops except by couriers. Many volunteered for this service, but none of them ever returned. “The German attack increased in yio- lence. A Lieutenant sprang to the head of his company to repel the enemy. He was wounded in the hand immediately. He wrapped it in his handkerchief and sprang forward again, crying: ‘Forward!’ A second bullet cut the word short in his mouth. As he fell to the ground another officer leaped automatically for- ward to take his place. He had only gone a few vards, when a bullet pierced his throat. The enemy, with very su- 'nerior forces to ours, including an en- tire new brigade, swept down upon us. From the evening to the morning our two battalions had suffered under a most murderous fire. The enemy was endeavoring to turn both our flanks and we fought with all our strength against this encireling movement. About 3:3( +. m. the situation suddenly became crit- ical. Ring Tightened, Forcing Retreat. The ring was tightening itself around The Germans had even brought up a big gun which was bombarding the very heart of our position. It was then that I was called to the post of Lieuten- ant-Colonel Driant. “Col. Driant was stationed in the front line, which he had ‘not left since the opening of the attack. Energetically, but calmly, he declared to us: ‘In a few more minutes it will be necessary to die or to be taken prisoner.’ He waited a little while and added: ‘I would prefei to die.” The tears flowed down his cheeks and we all wept. The most hard- ened of our chausseurs present at this ecene were overwhelmed by emotion. Commandant Renouard assured himself that there was nothing more in the shel- ter which could be of any advantage to the enemy. All our archives and our rians had been burned on the 2ist and the order to retreat was given. “Capt. Renouard said: ‘At least, let "us try to save some of these brave fel- 'OWS, “*Ah, well, let us save all we can,’ replied Capt. Hamel. ‘It will be so many more chasseurs who will be able to fight again tomorrow.’ “Col. Driant then took each of his two battalion chiefs by the arm, ani all three held a council of war. Woe heard Capt. Vincent say: ‘It is hard. “Our retreat commenced protected on fthe flank by a detachmat of chasseurs. The heads of the column On leaving the wood were welcomed by a cross fire from the enemy’s mitrailleuses. It was of no use to attempt a reply, and the fragments of the sections which were able to escape from that zone rallied a* Haumont on the first line of our second position. “Col. Driant had wished to set out among the last. He was last seen Ly a chasseur, who was cut off with him by the same storm of shells. After the bombardment had temporarily § slack- ened, Col. Driant made the chasseur leave first, crying to him, ‘Good-by and good luck.’ He remained until he wes certain that none of his men was lert in the wood, and has not been seen since. “Before svandoning our position a mitralleuse section destroyed its ammu- nition and succeeded in saving the guna I estimate that in the fighting in the Caures Wood we have accounted for at least 2000 of the enemy in killed or wounded.” us. oe Correspondent Says German Losses nt Verdun Are Not Heavy. METZ, March 7, via Berlin and Lon- don, March il.—Judging from close ob servation of the fields of the recent. bat- tles on the Verdun front, the Associated Press correspondent sees no reason to question the declarations of officers from German. headquarters that the German losses, particularly in storming Fort Douaumont, were by no means high. Graves of soldiers usually furnish fairly accurate indication of the extent of casualties. In the advance across the Woevre Plain toward the foothills of the fort- ress, the losses seem to have been al- most insignificant. Very few graves, either French or German, were seen around the points over which the Ger- mans swept in pursuit of the retreating French. Officers paid high tribute to the fight- ing spirit of the French although saying this was due to some extent to the con tinuous pouring in of fresh troops. Nort only the troops but the commanders are constantly changing. Thus far thres Generals have undertaken the defense of the fortress since the German opera- tions began. Gen. Herr, the original commander of the defending army, was was replaced by Gen. Petain. HOG ROOTS UP $300 IN GOLD|” Widow Cites “Canning” Hecord of Her Husband as Ownership Proof.

A suit to compel the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co, to pay $6847.36 on a policy held by Edward I.. Freetorius, newspaper publisher, wil:o killed jimself, was filed today by his widow, Mrs. Carrie L. Preetorius. The petition alleges that. Preetorius took out a policy for $2,000 in Aprv 1904, which he surrendered May 1, 1907, when he took out a policy for $10,000. This policy was assigned to Mrs. Pree- torius Nov. 1, 1914, according to the pe- tition. The premiums on the policy were raid until April 18, 1915, it is alleged, when, on account of illness, Preetorius failed to pay the premium until May “9, 1915. Then a check of $292.90 and a dividend certificate for $99.20 was sent to the company as premium, It is said that the company refused to accept the check, contending that the 31 days of grace allowed for the payment of premiums had expired. The only condition upon which the company would consent to accept the check was upon the presentation that Preetorius was in perfect health. His health, at that time, was broken, and it is alleged that he was unable to meet the require- ments of the company. Preetorius borrowed $2665 on the pol- icy Nov. 1, 1914, and the suit is for the collection of the balance. BISHOP GAILOR SPEAKS HERE Tennessean Delivers Lenten Sermon at Theater. The Rt. Rev. Thomas F.. Gailor, Bish- op of Tennessee and Chancellor of the University of the South, preached today at the noonday Lenten services being conducted by the Brotherhood of St. An- drew at the Columbia Theater. He- said we are living in a materialistic age which offers a great opportunity fo:’ Spiritual betterment. The which the vices of the day spring, he said, is the same soil upon which can be reared a more perfect spiritual life. The sluggishness of men, he said, is the only vice which appears to be hopeless of correction. He said death is the fourth Cimension, the mysterious state through which the soul returns to the seurce of life. OSBORN JURY 1S SELECTED -_— —-- Former Sing Sing Warden on Trial for Perjury.

Wheat futures lost over 2c in the early speculation on the Merchants’ Exchange today.

The market closed with a strong rally, but with Values about le below Saturday’ s finish. Corn futures averaged a sharp frac- tion lower in sympathy with wheat, but the selling was not aggressive, owing to Steady cables, light receipts and inside buying. Oats were fractionally lower in sympathy with other grains. Coarse grains closed strong and sharply over | Saturday's finish.

Russell’s New York News wired: “Export sales reported about 300,000 bu of wheat. Demand has been lim- ited to only a few buyers. Business for corn and oats very quiet.” One of the best posted grain men in Western Canada writes Bartlett- Frazier So.: “We are having a long and sevére winter with an unusual quantity of snow. The snow over the country will average 3 to 5 feet deep, and there has been no mild weather vet sufficient to evaporate any of it except in Southern Alberta. It looks as if we are going to have a late seed time, and it certainly will be late if we have much low tempera- ture weather this month. A late spring in Canada will be a serious matter this year, because of the very small amount of fall plowing that was done last year. A greater part of the acreage has to be plowed this spring, and if the weather is cold and the ground wet there will be a decrease in wheat acreage.” St. Louis Cash Grain.
