The bombardment ha: continued with intensity in all this sec- tor, and the fire of the enemy has been answered with é@nergy by our artillery. “There has been nothing of importance to report.from the rigt bank of the Meuse or in the Woevre district, where the artillery exchanges have been in- termittent.”’ The renewal of the fighting west of the Meuse, after three days’ pause, is regarded as heralding the opening of the third phase of the battle tor Ver- Gun. The defenders liave profited .y the period of relative inaction to strengthen further the weak joints in their armor and they await events with confidence. ’ “Now I know where I stand. | .™m certain of final success,”’ said Gen. 2e- tain, who is in charge of the Vrench cp- erations at Verdun. The first appearance of the German infantry yesterday after the usual in- tense bombardment occurred late in the afternoon and fighting lasted for three and one-hali hours. They attacked aleng the whole line from Bethincourt tr. the crest of Cumieres, a distance of about four miles. There was every tr- dication that the struggle would be re- sumed during the night. The heaviest fighting was around Jvead Man Hill, the Germans debouc!)- ing the masses from Corbeaux, and other smaller woods to the west.

CARDINAL GIBBONS RECEIVES REPORT OF GERMAN PEACE PLAN Correspondent Tells Him That Terms Were to Be Announced After ““a’’ of Verdun. BALTIMORE, March 15.—Thnat the Germans planned to reduce Verdun and then publicly announce their plans for peace was the information contained in a letter received in the last few days by Cardinal Gibbons from an authori- tative source in one of the countries now at war. The prelate said he had heard conditions in Germany were de- pressing the ‘people somewhat and the Government felt that after it had put its Verdun campaign through success fully it would he in a positioa etter than ever to announce to the world on just what terms it would acvept peace. The Cardinal would not disclose the author of the letter, but seemed to put much reliance in the knowledge of the Writer.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., March 1.— Thomas Mott Osborne, prison reformer and former Warden of Sing Sing, was acquitted of the charge of perjury by direction of Justice Arthur S. Tomp- kins to a jury in the Supreme Court here today. Justice Tompkins held that Dr. Ran- doiph Diedling, a State Prison Commis- sioner, was without authority, under the State prison law. when he investigated, single-handed, Osborne's administration of Sing Sing. It was before Dr. Died- ling that Osborne last October commit- ted the alleged perjury by swearing, as charged, that he was without knowledge of certain cases of immorality. Justice Tompkins held there was no perjury committed by Osborne, inas- much as the Warden had the right to keep inviolate the pledges given con- victs who had confessed their immoral- ity to him. TRAINING CAMPS TO BE HELD Gen. Scott S: ‘+: Border Situation Will Not Cause Abandonment. WASHINGTON, March 15.—The score or more military training .camps throughout the country planned for the next few months, will not be abandoned by the War Department because of the Mexican border situation. Major-General Hugh L.

Two saloons owned by Claude Speak and a millinery store owned Miss Florence Boone also wer destroyed. feveral of the 15 guests of the five- story Terminal Hotel nad narrow scapes in groping their way out of the smoke-filled building and two were in- tured. Mrs. Linton Jones, proprietor of tne hotel, was burned -on the hands and arms while gving down a stairway from her room on the second floor. W. J.

About 15 min- utes elapsed before the fire spread to the Riveryliew Hotel across the strect and guests of that hotel had plenty of time to escape without being endan- gered. The most conservative estimates place the loss at $200,000, but some believe it will be much higher. All the buildings ettacked by the fire were practicalls cdestroved. The Terminal Hotel had 6 rooms and the Riverview They had recently been refitted. Both faced the Mississippi River at the southern end of the. city. The -Buckner-Ragsdale store building was two stories in heizht. On the sec- ond floor were offic:s. The fire destroyed libraries and records belonging to At- torneys Henry E. Alexander and Robert H.

There is no engine, and the water pres- sure in the mains is relied on in fight- ing fire. It was difficult to get streams to the top of the five-story hotels. Chaffee, Mo., 15 miles away, sent a hose company on a special train, but the firemen could do little in checking the flames. Juckily the wind was from the north. This blew the fire toward the river and it found nothing more to consume after sw: ning the two blocks nearest the water front. AID FOR BAKER CONSIDERED Col.

WASHINGTON, 15.—The Sen ate today the joint resoluiion adopted by the House yesterday to bring the mobile army up to its full strength, which would aid about 20,000 men to the present estab- lishment. The resolution now dent for his approval. A roll call on the was ordered on request of Senator Gallingey, who explained that he asked it for the purpose of ‘‘demonstrating that there is no division in the Senate over measures to provide for protection of the coun- wT. There was not a dissenting vote on the roll call. Sixty-nine Senators were in. the cham- ber and voted for the resolution. When the vote was announced Senator Mc- Cumber, Republican, of North Dakota, declared it served as notice to the world that ‘‘the nation and this Congress stand as a ftingle man in defense of American rights.”’ When word that the Senate Mad adopted the resolution reached the War Department, the Adjutant-General'’s of: fice took steps to begin recruiting the additional men immediately. Instructions were prepared for recruiting officers throughout the United States to conduct nan actite campaign. Passed Yesterday by House. The resolution was passed by the House yesterday without objection an‘ with only one dissenting vote, cast, by Representative London, Socialist, of Ne York. Chairman Hay of the Military Com mittee, who brought in the resolution immediately after conferences with War Department officials, explained to the March approved unanimously goes to the Presi- resolution House that the step was necessary be- cause of demands of citizens along. the border for additional protection while the United States troops now doing pa- trol duty shall be in Mexico. The reso- lution was passed in five minutes. While there is a difference of opinion as to the exact number of men that will be brought into the army under the res- olution, it is certain that about 20,000 nen, at least, will be added to the regu- lar establishment. Representative Hay holds and War Department officials agree with him that under the resolution the President is authorized to raise the army ' to a fighting strength of 119,047 men. Includ- ing all divisions, such as the Medical Corps and the other nonfighting units, he says the total number of men in the army under the resolution may reach 135, 000. Kahn, the ranking Republican mem- ber of the Military Committee. insists that a total of not more than 102.000 fighting men may be maintained under the provisions of the resolution. He contends that the outside estimate of tha tetal strength thai can be legaily mus- tered under the resolution would be about 120,90, including soldiers of all classes. Text of Increase Measure. The text of the measure providing for the increase ir the force follows: “Resolved, By the Senate and Hoube of Representatives in Congress assem- bled, that whenever in the judgment of the President an emergency arises which makes it necessary, all organizations of the army, which are now below the maximum enlisted strength authorized by law, shall be raised forthwith to that strength and shall be maintained as Coatineed ou Page 2, Columea 3%.

DISAFFECTION AMONG SOME OF CARRANZA’S MEN Refugees Tell of Being Insulted by Mexican Soldiers— Commander at Juarez Denies Resent- ment, Says First Chief Will Formally Permit U. S, Soldiers to Cross. By Associated Press. Ti ACHITA, N. M., March 5.—The Second Cavalry Brigade, un- der command of Col. George A. Dodd, completed today prepara- tions to wove forward from Culberson’s ranch on the border. south of here into Mexico. is about 45 miles west of Columbus. A quick movement was expected. Hachita During the last few days sup- ply trains, aided by wagons and: trucks of ranchers, have been for- warding large supplies to the camp. KL, PASO, Tex., March 15.—-United States troops with camps broken, were under marehing equipment along the Mexican border west of here at daylight today in at least two positions. censorship prohibited transmission of any information. of. wovements throughout the first Military ai half of the day. The troops in readiness were at Columbus and at Hachita, N M. In order that the columns’ bases shall be in constant communication with each other by wireless, a station has been erected at Hachita by the Signal Corps. The advancing columns are .constantly to know the location of various detach- ments and movements of supply trains. A number of motor trucks, two wag- on trains and two pack trains are be- ing used to transport provisions and other supplies from the railroad base at Hachita. The border camp is approxi- mately three miles north of the bor- der at which point the troops are plan- ning to cross. Large numbers of men who know the interior of Chihuahua and Sonora as well as do the Mexicans have presented themselves for the dangerous work of guiding the troops. The border from Culberson’s ranch west of Douglas is guarded by patrols of infantrymen. Numerous patrol camps also are located along the rall- road for a considerable distance east of Douglas. Citizens of every county along the bor- der in New Mexico are also being or- ganized by the Sheriffs. For the pres- ent they are preparing to act as home guards, but if a call comes they expect to volunteer for patrol or any other duty requested by the Government. Aero Squadron Moves. During the night the First Aeroplane Squadron, which arrived here from San Antonio, moved out of El Paso. Its destination was among the _ military mgvements kept secret. Gen. Gavira, Commandant at Juarez, said today he had received information that American troops had not yet crossed the border and that they were awaiting permission from Carranza be- fore doing so. Gavira said he believed Carranza’s reply would be favorable. Gen. Gavira, after stating that the American troops had not entered Mex- ico, said: “My commander at Palomas, Gen. Bertani, informed me that the American commander at Columbus asked him what the attitude of our first chief would be toward American troops passing upon Mexican soil. I am now awaiting a re- ply. But I feel sure that my instruc. tions will be favorable to a, friendly co- operation of the American and Magican troops against Villa.” Rumors of the advance of the Amert- can expedition did not disturb the usual caim of Juarez. The garrison soldiers| unce appeared entirely friendly to visiting Americans, as was the native population. Eiven the departure of Gen. Gutierrez, Commander in Chief of the State of Chihuahua, in a special train for the South, caused nothing beyond mil4 in- terest. Gutierrez will personally direct’ operations against Villa. Denies Resentment in Mexico. Speaking of the rumors of popular resentment against Americans in Mex- ico, Mexican Consul Andres Garcia, in El Paso, said: “The excitement, so far as I am able to learn, is entirely on the American side of the border. I haven't heard of a single authentic case of Carranzista sol-' diers threatening Americans. Perhaps a few individual soldiers have called the Americans names, as has been charged but I myself have often been called names on the American side. Our forces are well under discipline, and there ‘s ne likelihood of any outrage agaist Americans of any sort.'’ Gen. Gavira added: “I know that there has been none of the reported resent- taent among my men. We are all friend- ly disposed to the United States, and her citizens.”’ Reports were persistent last nicht of serious disaffection among the Carran- za soldiers near the Arizona border un- , der the command of Gen. Calles. Stories brought from the interior of Mexico by American refugees served ty confirm the impression that’ at least a section of the Carranza soldiery was far from unfriendly to Villa and was de- cidedly hostile to the American expe. dition. Refugees told of belng insulted and cursed by soldiers they encountere! in their flight, but no act of physical vio'enee has been reported. At the same time, other Americans, specially who -came from Sonora and the ern part of Mexico, declared that ditions in those parts were quiet that they had experienced no display animosity toward Americans. “T hope that we shall take Villa soo, with the help of the United States,”’ sati Gen. Gabriel Gavira, commanding .4¢ Carranza forces at Juarez, last nigh. Govira made this remark in English in his office. Gen. Gutierrez, Commander in Chief of Chihuahua, Was presen. Both officers had spent the entire day conference. largely in the company of Andress Garcia, the Mexican consul in El Paso, who has a wide acquaintance with American affairs. Fifty Americans from Chihuahua City, who arrived here last night by train, re- ported that 4 or } Americans were left in the city. An escort of 56 Carranga soldiers rode on the train. Villa Has Superior Horses. One of the difficulties in catching Vil- la, as pointed out oy these Americans, is the superiority of the norses his men ride over the other mounts available ian Northern Mexico. Villa's horses werd described as “race horses." The fu- gitive has made a practice of seizing cr buying the finest horses available. An- other problem, the Americans said, lay in the fact that through fear or ignor- the Mexicans residing in country maencet of Chihuahua give considerable allegiance to Villa. In the olties they considered the Carranza sentiment dom- inant, but sald that Villa was free tor travel without danger in the rural ree gions uniess he came into actual contact with Carranza troops.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 15.—Ma- jor-General Funston said this afternoon that if there had been any movement of American troops in Mexico he had not heen informed of it. He said he felt certain that if Brigadier-General Per- shing had ordered an advance he would have notified Southern Department headquarters here immediately. Gen. Funston admitted that it was possible an advance had been made and that hé had not been told of it. He said, however, that if any movement had taken place it probably .was near Hachita, N. M., whera Col. Dodd is sta- tioned, and not at Columbus. Col. Dodd is not in direct telegraphic communica- tidn with Gen. Funston, and if he re- ported at all, the General said, it would he to Gen. Pershing. Gen. Funston said he himself did not know Gen. Pershing’s plans and that Gen. Pershing's orders were, in effect, “move when you are ready.”’ Little in the way of preparation was left undone last night, but there was a feeling at army headquarters here that Gen. Pershing might wish to delay his advance until practically every pos- sibility of a hitch in his plans had been eliminated. It is generally known that the force will be not less than 5000, and that the greater part of the available troops in the United States will be in reach if it should become necessary to we then. Sroop trains continued last night to ‘erry cavalry and infantry to the dis- trict along the boundary line bétween Mexico and New Mexico, but the con- centration of men and supplies virtually was completed.

Senator Sherman of Illinois introduced in the Senate the House resolution to provide for withdrawal of the army from the Philippine Islands as quickly as possible, in order to add to the available iroops in the United States. “The Senate has recently passed a bill recognizing within a few years the abil- ity of the Philippine people for self- government,’ said Senator Sherman. “The people of those islands have been led by the declared purpose of this reassure to expect within the time named complete self-government and the as- sumption of sovereignty. If we adhere to the declared purpose, we consequently ought no longer to be charged with full responsibility for the protection or con- trol of the islands. “The Philippine scouts, natives, maining in the islands number There is in addition a native constabu- lary for preservation of order and for local purposes incident to that service. lf conditions are as described by Sen- ators Who supported the bill, the Fili- pinos ought to be able, with the scouts, the constabulary and such native forces as a potential, self-governing people can supply to police the islands and main- tain order without the further presence of the 12,000 officers and troops proposed to be withdrawn by this resolution.”’ eee FEW GUARDSMEN EXPECTED TO GO TO REGULAR ARMY They are not Eager to Enlist and are Not Espectaly Desirable as Recruits.

Final action on the proposed measure was deferred because of the objection of Frank C. Rand, vice president of the international Shoe Co., who lives at 710 Delmar avenue, and who has op- posed the extension of the line through this subdivision. The United Railways proposes to make Wellesley avenue, in University, the western terminus of the Delmar line and the eastern terminus of the Creve Coeur line. The railways company pro- peses to build a fine station there, with loops to the east and west. . Besides Rand, others opposed to the extension are Lee I.

S. Should Puild Standardized Parts in Own Laboratory. WASHINGTON, March 15.—Thomas A. Edison told the House Naval Comniit- tee today that with a fully equipped Federal research laboratory and stand- ardization of machine parts, a submarine could be built in a week. He said the ,United States should appropriate liber- ally for such a laboratory as recom- ménded by the Naval Advisory Board of civilian experts. The laboratory, preferably undér the administration of the Navy Department, Edison said, would make experiments to standardize parts for submarines~ or aeroplanes. The Government would dis- tribute thesé standardized parts to man- ufacturers. A Federal laboratory, he said, could be put in full working oper- ation for $1,500,000. Secretary Daniels, a number of Rear Admirals, other officers and some in- ventors formed an intérested group tliat heard Edison. Edison said that with standardization of parts it might be possible to pro- ducé a submarine within a week and the aim of the laboratory would be to “always keep ahead of the other fellow, to kééep in advance of dévelopment.”’ Submarine and aeroplane engines, he said, should be especially studied. As to the initial cost of the laboratory, Edison said, with a chuckle that “a lot of them were trying to soak the Gov- ernment,’ but he was sure he could get a laboratory, site, building and ev- érything all ready to operate for the $1,500,000. “What appropriation would you ask for the first year after the laboratory is ready?’ asked Representative Oliver. #1,000,000, a Year. “That depends on what You want to do. I spend about $300,000 a year for my laboratory, and I’m not much of a fellow compared with Uncle Sam, If you get an engine developed and standardized for the first year on $300,000, vou’d be doing well. They want so many-.things in the navy right off it would fill things up. | would have three shifts of eight hours each. I should say the appro- priation should be about $1,000,000 for the vear for maintenance, and so on,”’ Edison was asked if he could Set cnough technical and scientific men to put on standardized machine work. “Oh, yes,”’ he replied. “‘We can get muckers enough.”’ Edison's secretary explained that ‘‘muckers’’ Edison meant scientists and inventors, and Edison himself had been president of a ‘‘muckKers’ club.” The inventor was asked what he woulda do after spending a good deal of money in standardizing a machine of 250 horse- power and 1008 pounds weight if he found some outsider had developed a superior machine. ‘“‘Drop the old; take the néw,”’ the quick response. “Who would control the labor in the laboratory ?”’ “The Navy Department, I suppose,” replied Edison, shrugging his shoulders, “naval officers as administrators ana civilians to do the laboratory work. by wus BE CAREFUL IN USING SOAP ON YOUR -HAIR Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure and entirely greaseless. It’s very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses eout easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to han- dle.

He de- Clared this prosperity is shown by the large bank deposits throughout the country. “The banks have so much money,” he said, “that they do not have to call on the Federal reserve banks for any.” Despite this, he said, three out of the 12 banks are now paying div- idends, and the St. Louls bank is paving expenses. He said the fact titat the St. Louis bank showed a loss in a recent re- port was no reflection on this Fed- eral reserve district.

Coffin of Detroit, a member of the Naval Advisory Board, who fol- lowed Edison, said that mobilization of industries to help in time of war was of greater importance than building ships or recruiting men. Coffin laid before the committee an inquiry form which the board has been sending to manufacturers to ascertain what aid they would give the Govern- ment in time of peace or war. A general report would be ready by May, he said.

TAX ARGUMENTS Members Indicate _ Protests Against Unequal Assessments Will Avail Nothing. WITHOUT POWER TO ACT Roach Declares Local Assessors Are at Fault—Major Not Sure of Discrimination. By a Post-Dispatch Staff Correspon- dent. JEFFERSON CITY, March 15.—State- ments made to the Post-Dispatch corres- pondent today by members of the State Board of Equalization indicate that the delegation of St. Louisans who will ap- pear before the board next week to de- mand a readjustment of property assess- ment in the State, will have their trou- ble for nothing, and that the board will take no steps to relieve the conditions under which St. Louis and 18 counties ef the 114 are paying the running ex- penses of the State Government while 98 other counties are taking more mor- ey out of the State reasury each year than they are paying in. Gov. Major, Attorney-General Barker, Secretary of State Roach, Auditor Gor- don and Treasurer Deal, conatitute the Poard of Equalization, and the law makes it their duty to equalize the as- sessments between counties and the city oft St. Louis. Three members of the board are candi- dates for State office, and Gov. Major is a candidate for Vice President of the United States. Barker and Roach are running for Governor, and Gordon js a candidate to succeed himself for a third terms as Auditor. & Gov. Major’s View. Gov. Major refused to say what action he would take on the facts which wil: be submitted by the St. Louis delega- tiof, as they have been published in the newspapers, but declared that no man in the world can tell whether the as- sessinent in St. Louis is higher than in the various counties and sid furthor that there is no way in which that can be determined. He said: “I will not pass judgment on the matter before it is presented and I will listen, with in- terest, to whatever facts the St. Louis delegation may present to the board. But as to the assertion that the valua- tion of St. Louis property is higher than it is in the-country districts, I wouid like to know how anybody could arrive ™% guch a conclusion except.by guess. may be pieces of property in St. Louis that are assessed at the i) per cent of their real value, as is con- tended. On the other hand, there prob- ably is property in the city that is as- sessed as low as 5 per cent and even less. So long as that condition exists, ~ it is absolutely impossible to determine. even approximately, whether city prop- erty is assessed on the same basis as country property.”’ Roach said if there is any inequality in taxation the present system of fixing values by local assessors is at fault and cannot be remedied by the State board. “Those who complain that some sec- tions of the State are paying more taxes in proportion to property values than other sections oVerlook the fact that we are not an arsessing board, but an equalizing board,’’ Roach said. ‘‘If there is any inequality in assessments it is the fault of local assessors. We nave to accept their valuations. The myth- ical 331-3 per cc -t basis of valuation. which is plainly in violation of the statutes which provide that property shall be assessed 100 per cent, may be partially responsihle for the trouble. Barker Favors Test. Barker declared city property is not assessed higher than property in the rural districts, but on the contrary is assessed on a lower basis. Barker said, however, that he would vote to have the Board of Equalization make a test of the matter. “I am in favor,” Barker said, “of calling these men who are criticising the assesstnent to a showdown. I would be in favor of selecting 100 pieces of prop- erty in St. Louis with whose value the board is acquainted, and then of select- ing 100 pieces of property from each of 20 counties, with whose value the board also is acquainted, from which to make comparisons. -“I believe such a test will show I am right in saying that city property al- ready is assessed lower than other property.’’ Deal came into the executive office while Gov. Major was discussing the matter with the Post-Dispatch corre- spondent. He expressed views similar to those quoted by the Governor. He also said the board could not go be- hind the estimates of valuation placed upon property by local assessors. Investigation of the records in the Auditor's office disclose that St. Louis and the 16 counties which “paid their way’ in 1915, together with the amounts | they paid in excess of the amounts re- ceived from the State, were as follows: LOOKIN men complain about work; even boys and girls in school or business find work tedious and irk- some, but it is really their own lack of t makés it hard, oo sen re a Peace “Joseph Sold by {supplementary to the list printed in the | WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 15, 1916. he Rees tS Ee pai ee, Mie oe i i ner: fae 2 ae ee ; +¥ ue ; ; + : a ; est ; “ Go od ‘, : Pa Be : aye - a iil = ~ packed for public exhitition at the exhibition will continue about three weeks. the largest hangings in the group 8 inches by 11 feet 9 inches. tapestry dating from the first half of the six- teenth century, is one of the most striking pieces in the $600,000 tapestry loan exhibit now being un- £6 J tare SOLD BY HIS BROTHERS,” a Renaissance will open with a night view Thursday, and Director Holland of the Art Museum thinks the com- pletion of such a tapestry as this portrayal of Joseph’s adventure must have required five years. in the human figures and in the foliage of the land- scape are many shades and tints, ranging from dull His Brothers” Is Theme of a Striking Tapestry in Collection to Be Seen Here the pit into- which Art Museum.

Some of the richest counties in the State are listed among those which are a drain on the resources of the State.

St. Francois - County, which produces nearly 40 per cent of the entire lead output of the United States, County, with the City of Springfield, got $3.311.51 more than it paid. The records also show that in four of the 16 congressional districts every coun- ty receives more than it pays. This is true in the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fif- teenth and Sixteenth districts. NO 1915 RETURNS BY TWO ON BOARD OF EQUALIZATION C. O. A. Brunk and C. H. Miller Men Who Have Not Filed Assessment Lists. Two members of the Board of Equal- ization, which next Monday will begin its session for the revision of tax re- turns, have failed to make personal tax returns for 1915. They are Charles O, A. Brunk, former State Senator, and Charles H. Miller of 2859 Windsor place, an officer in a carpenters’ union. Brunk last year made a personal re- turn on $9000. This year, upon his fail- ure to make a return, he was arbitrarily assessed at $5400. If he does not care to pay taxes on this amount he will have to file his complaint with the board of which he is a member. Miller did not make a personal return either for 1914 or 1915, and he has not been assessed arbitrarily, there being no record of his being served with a notice to make return. He is assessed on $59) for real estate. The other members of the _ board, Charles W. Bates and Fred C. Lake, made returns of $1550 and $1250, respect- ively. In 1914 Bates’ return was $1100 and Lake’s return was $1970. Bates is a former City Counselor and Lake is secretary of Nugent's. It was announced that the tax books would not be open for public inspection until next Monday, the first day of the board meeting, but persons who thin they must know about their assessment before that day may get the informa- tion from clerks by calling at the As- sessor's office. This service to taxpay- ers was started this afternoon. It is of interest chiefly to those who failed to make returns. A Post-Dispatch reporter learned that at least 1000 persons, after filing a re- turn, increased the amount of their re- turns at the suggestion of District As- gessors. The District Assessors this year were appointed after Efficiency Board examinations and were somewhat more active in this work than District As- sessors of previous years. They summoned persons of reputed wealth to the Assessor's office, and, after pointing out that certain valua- tions were ridiculously low, persuaded taxpayers to make a voluntary increase in assessments which were satisfactory to the District Assessor.

If so they will quickly disappear when the proper food is adhered to. If they are accom- panied by pallor and listlessness you must look to the condition of the blood. Because these eruptions on the faces of school girls are so common they sel- dom receive the attention from parents that they require. When they indicate thin blood or anemia there is a ready xemedy in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. These tonic pills, free from harmful drugs, are pretty sure to help growin girls, because they build up the blood at a time when the demand on it is greatest.

The 1914 assessment was $750,000, and the 1915 return, made by the Mercantile Trust Co., as executor, was $98,050. Mitchell told a reporter that this re- duction was due to the sale of taxable securities to the value of more than $600,000, belonging to the estate, and the acquisition, in their place, of nontaxable securities, such as bank and trust com- pany stock, on which the bank or trust company, and not the individual stock- holder, pays the tax. He said the big- gest item in the sale of taxable securi- ites had been Campbell’s large holdings in the Utah Securities Co., a concern holding the stock of water power com- panies. Negotiations for the sale of this stock, Mitchell said, were under way at the time of Campbell’s death in June, 1914, but as the delivery had not been made they were gssessed against the estate in that year’s tax return. “MALL” BOUGHT BY H, C.

Bruce Cameron, superintendent of transportation of the United Railways Co.. last night told the troubles of tie street car company to the members *f the Shaw District Improvement Asso- ciation at their monthly meeting at the Sherman School, 3940 Flad avenue. H6 told of the company’s desire to please everybody and said that most of the traffic faults were caused by the pub: lic His invitation to speak at the meet- ing was the result of complaints mad» at the February meosting by members who said the Fourth street cars weie running so irregularly that they seme- times had to wait 14 minutes for a cai at the busy periods of the day. They wanted to know what could be done about it and the association. voted to give Supt. Cameron a chance to explain. He did explain—and the transfer wagon drivers got the blame. Blames Transfer Drivers. “Our Fourth strect cars get downtown all right,’” he said, ‘“‘but they can’t get back for another load. Down around Spruce streer a great many transfer wagons are starting out in the morning and as the street is narrow most of them drive on the car tracks. Especial- ly is this true on a snowy morning, for then the car track is the only part of the street that is swept clean. “And it costs our company a huge sum to clean those tracks. But the teamsters use them aad then if a wagon gets stalled or breaks down there is a long tie-up. ‘We can’t knock the wagon off the track. We have our wrecking crews anil equipment sv distributed over the city, however, hai no matter where a break: down occurs we will speedily get a crew there to clear the track. ‘Since this cody complained cf the Fourth street service 1 have had thrce traffic censuses taken and as a result we have added one or two new cars in the rush hours and probably will add more.’ Commenting on transportation prob- iems in general Cameron said it is unl- versally agreed that every citizen knows how a railroad should be run. “Why, every newspaper reporter in town knows how to run this street car system better than we do and every edi- tor could revolutionize the entire trana- portation system in a week. Analyze your grievances and you will find that every man winté a car line on the street next to his but never on his street. All of you want a car to stop for you at the most convenient spot for yoursel?, take you on and carry you to your des- tination without stopping for anybody else. “Every venturesome real estate dealer that buys up an unimproved tract somewhere adjoining the city wants a street car line out there next day. Tell him there are no people to carry and ask him why he wants a car line and he will tell you: ‘A car line will cause peo- ple to move out here and I can sell my lots and make money.’ “Yes, it is true, the very people we are already carrying might move out there and we would have the privilege of. transporting them over greater dis- tance with new equipment that cost u fortune, but at no higher fare.’’ Crowds Come Together. Another trouble that Cameron men- tioned was that all the department stores close at the same time and the people that pour out of them all want to go home on the very next car. And then, he said, the extended use of the transfer has reduced the average [fare to 3.2 cents. The company, he said, uses 400,000 trans- fers every day. He complained of the action of ‘“‘generous jiries’’ in giving large judgments to persons for whose injuries the street car company felt it was not to blame. But with all the troubles, he said, the average number of complaints received at the general office is hetween two and one-half to three a day. He urged that complaints be made tv him by phone, letter or in person and promised an in- vestigation of each one. No Deposit Required l'rom residence customers for Unton Electric Light & Power Co.

Government Suppresses and Gains Upper Hand Over Public Sen- timent— Desires Agreement on Submarine Issue. ! By KARL H. VON WIEGAND. A Staff Correspondent of the Pagt- Dispatch and the New York World. (Copyright, 1916, by Press Pub. Co.) BERLIN, March 12, via Amsterdam, March 14.—With potentialities of further trouble and serious complications be- tween the United States and Germany undiminished, certain developments hav- ing to do with political conditions here can be regafded on the whole as putting a more favorable and more hopeful as- pect on the submarine situation in so far as America is affected in the three- cornered U-boat controversy. The crisis in Washington has not been without a somewhat similar and equally difficult situation here. The difference was that in Washington Congress at- tempted to apply ‘“‘the brake,” while here the Government itself was acting as a brake on popular sentiment and powerful forces steering in a direction which might cause war to become in- evitable. The Government here was a8 SUuc- cessful as Congress was unsuccessful. | The situation at both ends is again in the hands of the respective Govern- ments since Washington has been freed from a congressional brake and the Bethmann-Hollweg element here is less hampered for the time being by infl- ences even more disconcerting and trou- blesome. Ground for Brighter Views. Ten days ago I cabled that the situa- tion as viewed here was that the two nations were drifting unwillingly but helplessly toward war becuuse none seemed strong enough to divert either or both ships of state. Much has hap- pened since then, in both Washington and Berlin, which gives ground for brighter views. Wilson and Lansing and Berlin are again in a position to resume conversations. The fate of the relations between the United States and Germany continues and will continue to hang on the slender balance of the judgment and high-strung nerves and mind of some young U-boat commander, but from in- formation here it appears as though the situation in Washington has _ been cleared. The same can be said of the situation here. Both nations are again clear to take up the discussion of differ- ences in the views held. A brief sum- mary of the situation as viewed here fol- lows: First the Government found the de- mand for disavowal of the Lusitania sinking in Secretary Lansing’s phrase- ology unacceptable, as the Chancellor stated in the interview in the Post-Dis- patch, on the ground that the Govern- ment and nation considered the demand in *%ts presented form as humiliating «and affecting the national honor, and that the Government ‘could not grant it even if the rejection meant a break in rela- tions. Berlin suggested a change in the phraseology which, it is claimed, does not affect the essentials but tends some- what to take the curse off of the de- mand. Lansing’s acceptance of the Ber- lin suggestion has not yet been officially received. : Second, claiming that Secretary Lan- sing’s note to the allies asking that they disarm their merchant ships was a tip that such a move would be welcomed in Washington, Berlin sent a memorandum stating that all armed merchantmen would be treated as warships. The first reports, supported by such Washington press dispatches as were received here, indicating that Lansing would take the German viewpoint, were followed by a sudden switch in attitude. This switch has not been understood here. Third, the German Government an- nounced that this memorandum did not violate or nullify Ambassador Bern- storff's promise that unarmed passenger ships would not be sunk without warn- ing. Fourth, Foreign Minister von Jagow made it known that Germany is content to act under the principle that if the rea- son for a rule ceases to exist the rule it- eelf falls and so the law legalizing the TURN HAIR DARK WITH SAGE TEA If Mixed With Sulphur It Dark- ens So Naturally Nobody Can Tell. The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand- mother’s recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the great- est advantage. Nowadays, though, we don’t have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound” for about 50 cents a bot- tle. It is very popular because no- body can discover it has been ap- plied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, but what de- lights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that. be- sides beautiful! darkening the ha‘r after a few applications, it also pro- duces that soft luster and appea-- ance of abundance which is so at- tractive. This ready-to-use prepara- tion is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youth- ful appearance. !t is not intended ior the cure, mitigation or preven- Count von Reventlow arming of merchant ships ts no longer in effect. Fifth, the German Government denies that it is seeking to change internation- al law, and contends that half a century of time has so changed the law through the changed conditions on the sea that it merely asks cognizance be taken of such a change. Sixth, it is asserted here that the Cer- man Government does not know what Secretary Lansing considers legitimate “defensive armament.” ‘ Seventh, Germany contends that not the size of the ships or the caliber of the guns, but the intent and purpose characterize offense and defenve, and that the smallest gun can be used of- fensively and defensively. Germany would like to hear a hypothetical case illustrated by what Secretary Lansing understands armed merchantmen to be of legally using armament in defense. Eighth, Germany would like to know whether Washington considers that the apprvach of a submarine to a merchant- man with a purpose of ascertaining the nationality and character of the ship is a “hostile act” under Secretary Lan- sing’s interpretation of the law. Is an armed merchantman firing at such an approaching submarine, which has com- mitted no hostile act unless the mere ap- rroach is so considered, acting 6ffensive- ly or legally defensively? Ninth, Germany insists that legally there can be no attack in alleged de- fense by merchantmen upon recognized legal war craft. Tenth, :t is the contention in German Government circles that the actions of British merchantmen in attacking sub- marines, together with British admis- sions that such attacks have been made, and the instructions of the British Ad- miralty, are proof positive of the of- fensive and warlike character of mer- chant ships and a deliberate violation of the British Government’s positive as- surance made to Secretary Lansing that Fritish merchantmen would never fire first. Eleventh, Germany is not unwilling to conduct the submarine war within inter- national law, even if Germany contends that that particular law no longer has cifect, but she believes that Washington, in uphoiding that law, must consequent- ly be consistent and impartial and insist - oo Causes Dissatisfaction in Britain; Change Likely *“ LONDON, March 5. HE unexpectedly early calls on married men to join the army have created such grave dis- satisfaction throughout the country that the Government is considering a change of policy. Earl Kitchener and the Eart of Derby probably will make an important statement in the House of Lords today. It seems quite, certain that the strong feéling of the country as to the unfairness of the existing sys- tem of reciuiting pas compelled the Government to reconsider its posi- tion, but whether the revised policy looks in the direction of the appli- cation of compulsion to married — and single mien allke is unknown. Secretary Kitchener conferred last night with Bonar Law, the Co- lonial Secretary, and the result is likely to be that the call for mar- ried men between the ages of 277 and 3% who have attested will be post- — poned unl it is ascertained what effect the removal of certain re- strictions in regard to reserved oc- cupations will have on bringing more single men into the army. Washington fails to do this Germany and England should be allowed to fight it out, with Washington accepting some modus vivendi enabling Americans and other neutrals to travel safely without acting as shields for the British. Twelfth, to set its case clearly before the American people, Germany has s initted a historical review of petice showing the alleged violations of Inter- national law by the British which led up tc the submarine war as a reprisal measure. The brighter aspects of the situation lie in the fact that the Government has this end firmly in hand once more. This does not signify that the attitude of the Government has been changed or is less firm, but that it is in a position again to discuss the situation, if neces- sary, when President Wilson makes known his attitude on the German mem- orandum. There is considerably more cheerfulness over the situation in cir- cles close to the Government. since the war started, the submarine question for the time being has been taken out of the hands of the preas. The Government has freed itself from the pressure of popular clamor, but by measures which may revenge themselves later unless the outcome of the situation with America justifies the outcome of the steps taken. The popular impression in America is that the German press ts subservient and that the Government can turn popular sentiment off and on at will. It can be said that the Government controversy, and that it fs having diffi- Continued on Next Page. that the allies observe the same law. I?

These better counsels have been vic- torious. The argument is used that neither people, press nor street would for a moment dream of telling the gen- eral staff how to conduct operations, where, when and how to fight battles, and that it is equally absurd for such factors, however good intentioned, but without much ‘knowledge of the ques- tion itself or of political or military ex- igencies, to try to tell the Government how the submarine war should be corn- ducted. One of the first steps to clear the way for the Government to continue its efforts with Washington has been the absolute squelching of Count von Rev: entlow, one of the most rabid enemies of the Chancellor's policy. For the time being Coynt von Reventlow is prohib- ited from writing about the submarine issue. The prohibitive shackles have been laid also upon the leading organ of the powerful Conservative party, which had continued to make itself an uncomfortable critic of the Govern- ment. In the Deutsche Tageszeitung yester- day Count von Reventlow declared that Congress had given President Wilson carte blanche to do what he wanted, and that President Wilson could at any time create a diplomatic. situation which would leave Congress no choice but to back him up. He drew an an- alomy between conditions before Italy entered the war and the situation in Washington.

It was stated at the embassy that a hostile submarine fired torpedoes, without the slightest warning, at the Austrian passenger steamer Daniel Erno, Feb. 13, and at the Austrian steamer Zagreb, Feb. 28, in the Adriatic, off Cape Planka, near Spalato, Dalmatia.

' STROUD Attention to Achvities of “Take a Chance” Men. The first pleas of guilty obtained in the prosecution of Venice gamblers, whose activities have been exposed from time to time, in the last few months, by the Post-Dispatch, were entered yester- day afternoon in the Madison County Court in Edwardsville. John Johns, Peter Greiner and Coonto Heib, who were arrested in a raid on Scott McMonigle’s saloon in Venice, Jan. 27, pleaded guilty, and paid $100 and costs each. The raid was organized and ied by Harry Faulkner, a candidate for the Re- publican nomination for State's Attor- ney of Madison County. John R.

It is this same spirit that has prompted hundreds of other en to tell their atories of Tanlac.

The Board of Education, at a meeting last night, approved the recommendatioi of the Committee on Finance that one 22-room school be built during the pres- ent year, despite recent recommenda- tions of Superintendent of Instruction Blewett that the building program f the board be suspended to avoid cur- tailing the courses of instruction. The new school, if the program ap- proved last night is carried out, built at North Market street and Prairie avenue, to replace the present Bates School at Spring avenue and North Mar- ket street. The cost of its construction will be between $200,000 and $250,000. The designing of the school and the drafting of plans will be done in the of- fice of Commissioner of School Buildings Milligan, whose force the board voted to increase by recommending the employ- ment of three draftsmen to be paid nox more than $150 a month each. Ittner Seeks No New Contract. The board did not discuss the possible renewal of fts contract with William B. Ittner, architect, who has been recelvinz a 3 per cent commission on the gross cost of all schools built since 1910, which expires next month. A letter from Ittner to the board, in which he said he would not seek the renewal of the contract, was read. The board members adopted a resolu- tion presented by Dr. Henry lL. Wolfner, chairman of the Building Committee, ex- tending a vote of thanks to Ittner for his services and asking that he hold hintself in readiness to respond to any future call of the board. The Post-Dis- patch last Saturday published the fact that Ittner’s contract was not to be re- newed. A telegram of congratulations was sent to Christopher W.

By RICHARD L. STOKES. HE Pageant Choral Society contin- Tt ues to advance towards its ideal of high-class oratorio singing, as was proted by its presentation of Ver- ci’s famous “Requiem,” last night at the Odeon, before a large audience. This performance, concluding the second sea- fon of the chorus of 200 mixed voices / Under the direction of Frederick Fischer, was on the whole the most pleasing the organization has ever given.. A proportion of the success was due to the music, for Verdi, one of the great- est of operatic composers, had too vivid a gift of melody, too resourceful a skill in harmony, and a command of music’s dramatic powers too practised, to permit him, even when writing in the religious style, to sink to the dreariness and ster- flity which go often afflict the oratorio form. The “‘‘Requiem”’ {s in a senso op- eratic; ff, because of the solemnity of the subject, it could not be so thrilline as “‘Aida,’’ it was nevertheless stirring almost throughout, and was able to hold the interest with scarcely a pause. R Spirit Shown in Rendition. The dramatic meaning of the music was excellently brought forward by Di- rector Fischer. It was not hard to see that even the “Requiem” might become dull unless presented with spirit, <.nd Fischer’s reading of the score was al- ways spirited. Indeed, occasionally he leaned too far in this direction, as when some ruusing orchestral effect of brass and drums tempted him to give them full scope, with the result that the cho- rus was almost drowned out. He was assisted by nearly the entire Symphony Orchestra. A second element of the evening’s tri- umph was found in the soloists. At pre- vious concerts the principal singers, usually grouped in a quartet, have some- times all been mediocre; and sometimes three out of four have been common- place. Last night three out of four were exceptionally good, a proportion higher than the society had ever attained. These three were Mrs. Marjorie Dodge Warner, soprano, of Chicago; Albert Lindquest, tenor, of New York, and Charles FE. Galagher, basso, of Cincin- nati. Mrs. Warner's voice is hrrie in qual-| ity, and although not large, has a pene- trative timbre which makes its high notes séem powerful, and enabled them to be heard above chorus and orchestra. She pleased the audience, as its <-p- pl-use showed, with all her numbers, and particularly in the duet for so- prano and mezzo-soprano, ‘‘Recordare, | Jesu ple,” abd the finé concluding nunt- ber, “Libéra mé," ‘for soprano and*tho- rus. Lindquest, a well-known concert tenor, was not so happy in his produc- tion of soft tones, but displayed rom: high notes, sung with resonance, which had a ringing effect. He was especially fortunate in the tenor solo, “‘Ingemisco.”’ Galagher, favorably known here from his appearance as soloist at a “‘pop’”’ con- cert early in the season, proved himself again a true basso cantate, his voice having unusual power, with a rich and melodious quality. ‘All of his numbers were ably sung. Chorus Is Subordinate. The weak point in the quartet was occupied by Mrs. E. George Payne of St. Louis, who, although a high soprano, took thé mezzo-soprano part. In quar- tet passages she could not be heard, and even in duets she was frequently inaudible. Her singing was without res- onance or Vitality; and as the mezzo-so- iprano part in the “‘Requiem” !s perhaps 'the most prominent of all, one could not help thinking what could have boen made of it with a full and rounded voice. The role of the chorus in the ‘“Re- quiem”’ is subordinate, and It had a free opportunity only in the great fugued chorus, “Sanctus,”’ for two chotrs. The singers made their way through the con- trapuntal mazes with an easy certainty which reflected credit upon their train- irig, and sang with a zest which was likewise creditable to their enthusiasm for their work. Their part of the excit- ing “‘Dies Irae,”’ for quartet and chorus, was sung in moving style. The ambitious attempt was made to sing the “‘Requiem” in Latin, instead of in English, and some freaks of pro- nunciation resulted. Taking a lesson from Berlioz, whose grandoise “‘Requiem” calls for four brass bands at different points In the gallery, Director Fischer stationed two trumpeters in the balcony for the num- ber, “Tuba mirum” (Hark, the Trum- pet!) With four other trumpeters oa the stage, the effect of the instruments calling WD coda stne back and forth was very wg. writs: Untque Motor Accessory Advertising. An unusual and comprehensive display of automobile advertising was made at the meeting of the Motor Accessory Trade Association at the Marquette Ho- tel Tuesday hight. About 500 posters in colors, metal signs, calendars and other forms of display advertising were hung about the walls of the dining room. In Faddition there were statuettes, cut-out ‘figures and other advertising devices issued by the tire and accessory manu- facturers and dealers. Col. Fred D. Gardner, who addressed the meeting, sald that if he was elected Governor of Missouri, his first act would He to issue a call for a bond tissue clection for a $15,000,000 good roads fund and that his second act would be to ses that the convicts of the State prison were put to work on the roads. F. W. A. Vesper of the Vesper-Buick Auto Co. suggested the possible consoli- dation of the accessory trade assoctation with the St. Louis Automobile Manu- facturers and Dealers’ Association. The suggestion was applauded. Other speak - lets were M, P. Linn, president of the] Advertising Club of St. Louis, who re viewed and Criticised the* advertising le display: W. KR.

BANKERS REFUSE TO ACCEPT FRISCO | 4 REORGANIZATION They Write Letter to Public service Board Declining Latest Modifications. Disontch. JEFFERSON CITY. March .—The Public Service Commission a a letter today from Speyer & Co. and J. & W. Seligman & Co.. the New York bankers reorganizing the Frisco Rail- road, notifying the commission that they would not undertake to reorganize the I‘risco Railroad in Missouri under the conditions imposed recently by the com- mission. Following the receipt of thesletter there was considerable discussion here as to whether the bankers now would try to reorganize the Frisco in Arkansas, or some other state, as they had threatened to do if they coulq not obtain satisfactory reor- Sanization terms in Missouri. The Wabash Railroad, in its recent re- organization, took out its charter in Indiana, instead of Missour!, where it formerly had been issued prior to the last receivership. After stating that they would not ac- cept the terms of the commission's or- der of Feb. 29, with its modifications of the commission’s original order in the Frisco »lans, the bankers stated: “In doing so we wish to express otr regret that the terms of the order and of the previous decision make it impos. sible for us to carry through the revcr- ganization with the rnodifications or- dered by vou.” The Public Service Commission tok exception (o the bankers’ plans fer a voting trust to control the affairs of the: reorganized Frisco system.

Instead of building for the fu- ture this peculiar old boy is resting his hopes and his reputation on the present. Most managers allow them- lielder and defeated Eddie Coulon of New Or- leans at tlie Future City Athletic Club jast night. The margin by which he won Was no small shade, nor was there any fluke, accident or fortunate stroke of good luck connected with it. What excuse, if any, Coulon may have, certainly, was not apparent last night. He was out-boxed by a master workman who very skillfully used su- perior speed and judgment of distance. Kabakoff was faster on his feet, and his clever footwork often carried him out of danger, or brought him so close that Coulon was unable to deal out the punches he stood poised to eliver. : Both boys sparred cleverly in the first round, and Coulon showed him- self to be the heavier hitter from the very beginning. He Was cool, con- fident, and his manner indicated that he could do better when he let him- self out to the fuli extent of his skill and strength. And now happened something that presents the most peculiar angle de- veloped. by the bout. In the second reund Coulon out-fought and out-hir Kabakoff so easily and so decisively that theré appearéd good reason for eupposing that the bout would not go the limit. Coulon was plainly master of the situation, paid but little at- iention to the weight of Kabakoff's punches, looked stronger and_ morc @xperienced, and drove, the Ghetto boy about the ring as if determined to make a quick ending of the con- test. This round was a bad one for Kabakoff, but it was the only bad one he had. % a In the third round Conulon’s style and manner changed to one of “watchful waiting.’ It was hard to account for this, considering that the method adoptéd by him in the pre- vious round had brought such good results. Kabakoff. however, never faitered in this round and tucked it away to his credit by clever and ag- pressive boxing. The first half of the fourth round found Coulon still pursuing a Waiting policy, but why he should do so was a mystery, unless he believed that ho eould walk in and score a knockout whenever he pleased. If he thought this, however, his judgment was at fault. In the second half of this round he came suddénly to life, but again Kabakoff_ had run up a wide margin of points in his favor, while Coulon was waiting, holding back, taking his time, or whatever it was he was doing. ~Coulon’s Tactics Puzzle Fans. In the fifth round Kabakoff beat Coulon at everything—speed, science, atrength and hitting. It all seemed Very remarkable in view of the won- derful flash Coulon had made in that second round. Still, Coulon showed no signs of waning strength, and the only reasonable conclusion was that he was dagen, for some particular eoup that would enable him to end the bout. Evidentiy advised in his corner that he getting too far behind on points. ca out in the at- McGraw Deplores Player Limit.

He has added Catcher Bill Rariden, premier back- stop of the Fedéral League, Out- fielder Benny Kauff, who like George Sisi¢r is trying for Ty Cobb's crown, and Piteher Fred Anderson, respected by Fielder Jones as one of the brainy moundmen of the defunct organization. The addition of Eddie Rousch is of minor importance, unless outfielder Davy Robertson fails. Robertson hasn’t yet reported or set a date for his appearance.

This boy has the unique récord of baving made cither a triple or home run in every game played so far on the training trip. He came up as a first baseman and has been reformed into an outfielder. McGraw thinks he will be valuable for utility work, and will keep him.

The others moving picture men, club attaches and ar- dent fans from all parts of the coun- try, who annually flock to Me- Graw’s banner. In all, there are 29 more persons in the Giant party than there are in the Cincinnati camp at Shreveport. The poor, pen- niless Reds! And the most interesting charac- ter in Camp Marlin is John McGraw. We referred to him earlier as the great golf enthusiast, because golf has replaced’ the brigat lights in Little Napoleon’s life. He plays golf early in the morning and late in the afternoon. He’s in bed before most of his players and he’s up with the lark; never out on one. He’s off the “cause of crime” for- ever, he says, and he usually means what he says His system of training a club more like Branch Rickevy's than Fielder Jones’. He has sliding pits, runways, handball and tennis courts. He encourages golf and spends much time teaching his men how to bunt. There are many frills to the camp, including the baths which are taken after the matinee performance McGraw i8 a hard worker, who vi- ciously attacks his assignment, like Roger Bresnahan. He has his fun and always is willing to play a prank on his players. But Fielder Jones rules his men no better, McGraw wears a kid glove over a @nailed fist and his players all are wise to the fact. Sentiment in camp, voiced by all the players who refuse, how- ever, to be quoted, is that Boston and Cincinnati are the teams they have to beat. They figure the Phils for fifth place and the Cardinals anywhere below that. They regard the Reds as a crazy-quilt affair: liable to be up there or blow, depending upon Her- zog’s temperament. But they ail give Herzie the palm for being the are is Today’s Battles Two Brownie Aggregations Play Game for Association Chari- ties of Palestine. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PALESTINE, Tex., March 15.—A char- ity game between two teams of Browns is scheduled today, after which Manager Jones says he may sélect the personnel of the squads that will go by different routes from here to St. Louis. The team that departs Friday for Memphis undér the leadership of Jones is expected to be the “first team,’’ and the one that will vppose the Cardinals in. the spring series. Hence, the interest in the expected an- nouncement from Jones. The game today will be for the Asso- ciated Charities of Palestine. All the £ate receipts will be turned over to sweet charity. Jones hasn't much choice as to his out- field at the present time. With Miller crip- tee and Marsans absent, the manager has een forced to get into the game himself. while he has been working Otis Crandal! in another field and using George Sigler. a pitcher in Jones’ ¢stimation., in the outer works.

Therefore, there's no secret about she eventualities of the experiments now ve- ing made. It will be Miller, Betzel. or- han and Beet: the infield.

Snyder and Gonzales will take care of the catching, while it is Hug’s intention to carry All his pitch- ers, with the possible exception of Lam- line, until he has definitely determined who's who. The rail birds here think a lot of Jasper and if Hi doesn’t take into his think tank to blow the camp, he should be some help to Huggins. Ames, Doak, Salliee and Meadowr are re- lied upon for the bulk of pitching, of course, but Sea Lien Hal! and Reese Williams have been stamped with ap- proval by Bob Connery, who knows a pitcher from a stein.

For that reason he today heartily concurred in the opinion expressed by John MéGraw to the writer Sunday at Daliae. Huggins Against Player Limit. “This 2li-player limit will tend to make the American League strong¢r than the Nattonal,”’ said McGraw, “because we can't nurse alone vouthfn!l prospects who will be able in a vear or so to réplace the veterans. “That goes doubie for me.’ said Hua- gine. “If the plavér Hmit was 25, ap it is in the American League. | would string with a few vounegsters who, under conditions. will have to £6.” I think Hornsby. for instance, gives great proapect ae a third baseman. srottem is a fine voung catcher. while Pitcher Bteele evervthing but control If | eouvld these boys on the bench they would winners in «@& s8e@ag0n or 80 As it ia, I know how they will progress if they away from the cluh,”’ in the present —_ -_— oe — ee eee “OLD | bor LO OKING HEM OVET WITH MAIN oe Chased ation, = ara DOPE Reduced to Its IFS.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Educate Aliens for Citizenship. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch The Bureau of Naturalization of the Depart- ment of Labor is conducting a nation-wide cam- mign for the better preparation of aliens for citizenship through citizenship classes in the pub- li: schools. In harmony with this program night Classes to assist aliens in preparing for natural- ization have been conducted in four of the public schools here since Jan. 31, with one class and one téacher in each schoo! and an attendance of about 69 men in each class. Excellent work has been @one in these classes and alsoin citizenship classes conducted by the Y. M. ©. A. during the past year or two in different parts of the city. Six weeks is considered the minimum time for giving the @esired instruction. The regular night’ school classes for this year closed Friday and !t is under- stood that the school authorities will close the citizenship classes because of lack of funds. ‘The importance of this work and the necessity for continuing and enlarging it can hardly be oyer estimated, especially in view of the right -f suffrage given aliens by the Constitution and laws of Missouri. + Section 2 of Article 8 of the Constitution provides ' that “every male person of foreign birth who may have declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States according to law, not less than _@ne year or more than five years before he offers to ‘yote, who Is over the age of twenty-one years, possessing the following qualifications, shal) be en- ititied te vote at al! elections by the people; first, Fhe shall have resided in the State one year im- mediately preceding the election at which he offers te yote: second, he shall have resided in the county, city or town where he shall offer to vote at ‘least sixty daye immediately preceding the _ election.” Revised Statutes of Missouri contains the same ovision. »There are at this time in St. Louis about 25,000 fens who hold valid declarations of intention to come citizens and thousands of these aliens, un- r the Constitution and laws of Mise@uri, have, nd exercise, the same right to vote at all elec- tions as the most intelligent and highly qualified itizens of the State. ‘An allen may land in New York toda~, arrive tn st Louis and file his declaration of intention to- sorrow and one year later he acquires the unre- Hricted right of suffrage at all elections for a riod of four years thereafter, even though he absolutely ignorant of our institutions and rm of government and unable to read or write ’word of any language during that entire —eriod. Yative-born Americans must, of course, reach the are of 21 years before they are entitled to vote, and under our compulsory school laws th») future voter is compelied to attend schonl fcr a term of ‘ars. Final petitions for naturalization may be filed after five years’ residence in the United States. These petitions are now being filed at the pate of 250 a month and after remaining on ff for $0 days are passed upon by the District Court at its monthly sessions for naturalization. It is not ntil at these hearings that the applicants are ulred to show any knowledge of our system governinent and ability to speak the English cn phy and this test {fs necessarily more or less foriiial and does not prove real qualifications for intelligent citizenship.

Congress cannot do less than this in the face of the Villa expedition and the contingencies that may arise in connection with it. The country ought to be profoundly awakened to the actual conditions in the army and navy and our utter unpreparedness to deal with a real en- emy having a powerful army and navy. Even one of the lesser nations could give us a stunning blow before we could muster sufficient forces to meet an enemy. The emergency measure should be merely a step to prompt and comprehensive measures providing for any eventuality. We should have a regular army of not less than 200,000, preferably 250,000, thoroughly equipped with all modern war ma- chines and ample ammunition. We should have a reserve of not less than 400,000 trained citizen soldiery, with ample equipment, ready for use on call. These provisions are for the immediate future. For the permanent defense of the nation we should have_universal military training and serv- ice of all able-bodied men over 18 years of age. We should adopt, with such modifications as may be required for our different conditions, the Swiss system of universal military training and duty. The series of articles published in the Post-Dis- pateh concerning the Swiss system was convincing as to its merits, its democratic and anti-militar- istic nature, its just basis of duty and service for all citizens. The true defensive forces of a repuDlic are its citizens, who must be prepared in order to ren- der efficient service in the country’s defense. Under the system of universal training and service the soldiers of the nation are drawn from its citi- zenship, from the men who make the nation and have the greatest stake in its security and pros- perity. It is not sufficient for citizens grudgingly to pay taxes and hire costly substitutes for mili- tary duty. The burdens of national defense, with universal service, are more equally divided than taxes, because every man, whether a taxpayer or not, is required to serve the country in the hour of need and must be prepared to give efficient service. It insures safety from aggressive militarism be- cause the citizens who control the Government at the polls compose the military forces. Non- militarism is assured becanse no great standing army is required. The system is economical be- cause it enables the Government to reduce the standing army to a modest nucleus, with unlimited. reserves to draw upon to repel attack. The economic value of the system in the mental, moral and physiological development and disci- pline of young men is of unmeastirable value. When emergency needs are provided for Con- gress should adopt a comprehensive measure which will assure the military training and re- quire the service of all citizens able to bear arms. The people are prepared for a measure of this kind. They recognize its value for the conserva- tion of manhood resources and the democratic de- fense of the nation. mere f > & ‘Gages A glimpse of Villa just now would be a buena vista. hf A. a — = = GOOD MUNICIPAL EXAMPLES. Inefficient city government in Kansas City, Mo., is now contrasted with the commission govern- ment of Kansas City, Kan., which “has trans- formed a bankrupt, discredited city government into an efficient government, able to pay its bills.” Good examples in municipal government should not go unheeded. os Why the fleets don’t fight may be that one of them is not sufficiently fleet to get away in case of trouble. ———-— -— © AVIATORS ACROSS THE BORDER. The most useful of the equipment to be em- ployed in running down Villa has arrived on the border—the aero squadron with eight machines, 0 men and a full supply of accessories. Villa will discover that the possibilities of a terrifying guerilla warfare have changed some] since the time when the French army of occu- ration held only the towns and important cross- roads and the Mexicans held the country. It is more difficult now for irreguiar bands to sally forth from mountain fastnesses to slaughter smal] detachments, seize supply trains and overwhelm ill-guarded posts. What is a mountain hiding place worth when an observer peeking over the side of an acroplane can spot it with his field glasses and spy out the most feasible route of approach”? Incidentally the conditions of actual service may show the extent to which our much-dis- paraged aero corps has been demoralized by shiftliess commanders who were inadequate to their opportunities and who permitted fliers who did not fly to draw extra pay for imaginary flights. — + >4s--— iomiemane The Mexican General on whose body was found n dead American’s pocketbook must have been a vealous patriot. SOCIALISM IN WAR AND PEACE. Allan lL. Benson, nominated in- a mail refer- endum for President by the Soctalists, predicts a great increase in the vote of his party this year as a result of the war. His reasoning is rather hard to follow. If a Socialist ministry in France did not save the French people from war and an astonishing spread of Socialist sentiment in Germany did not save the German people from war, why ehould everybody tn the United States vote the Soctalist ticket this fall to save the Américan people from war? Has the war made it plain that Socialism con- tains the formula for peace? In engulfing So- clalism, has the war multiplied the fncentives for becoming a Socialist? Mr. Benson may poll his boped-for 1,450,000 votes, even his hoped-for 2,000,000 votes. But if he does the cause will be an influence other ee ees ee j than he assigns.

At a meeting estimated to be attended by 1000, the teachers of the St. Louis public schools My Fi join with the teachers of Kansas ‘City na ating a new Constitution for Missouri. An assessment of a tenth of one per cent on the salary of each member in St. Louis’ 2500 teaching force—about $1 apiece—was voted to meet publicity and organization costs. The action is not political. The teachers do not commit themselves to specific features of the proposed new instrument. It is probable that the document, when framed, may contain some provisions to which individual teachers will ob- ject. What they have done is to record their con- viction that the State cannot fail to be better governed under a Constitution, whatever its de- tails, representing the thought of today than un- der one representing the thought of 41 years ago. It is accordingly wholly proper and commend- able for them to participate and even to take the virtual leadership in the movement. If they are actuated by any incentive of special interest it is that of bettering the educational system of the State, which is an incentive in whose prompting ail Missourians should share. , Missour! men have for years emphasized the urgent need of constitutional revision. Now we shall see what can be done toward furthering the object by a class including so large a percentage of women as the teachers. Obsolete provisions of basic law sadlv handicap Missouri in some of the most important of governmental functions—reve- nue-raising, appropriation, education, judicial re- form, besides lesser functions. Late events have presented many object lessons on how these handicaps obstruct advance. To these public-spirited teachers, good and speedy success in their undertaking. — SS ee PREPAREDNESS VS. UNPREPAREDNESS. The pacifists urge us to leave our rights, in- terests and national safety to the sense of justice of other nations. We prefer our own sense of justice. luck a If our Government had had 50.009 trained sol- diers the Civil War would never have been fought, or if started, would bave ended in three months. According to the. opponents of preparedness, any unprepared American who cannot whip half a dozen prepared foreigners ought to be shot. Well, he would be. —-—-—-- 2 : NEW WHARVES FOR ST. CHARLES. A River Terminals Club has been formed at St. Charles to provide the town with concrete wharves and power-driven freight-handling ma- chinery. Tf the 12.090 people of this river city should be siven the advantage of these improved facilities in advance of the 750,000 people. of St. Louis, a creditable performance would be seored. The probability is that its wharves will be in use at least as Soon as St. Louis’ permanent municipal dock. Plans for a greater utilization of the rivers have reached a stage where thev occupy a place of large importance in the minds of practical men in all riparian territory. ‘Capital in surprising amounts has been set aside to provide approved tvpes of craft and supply standardized service. In the St. Louis industrial district the owners of plants whose output aggregates an enormous an- nual tonnage are making ready for future opera- tions in which low-cost water carriage is account- ed a certainty. The St. Charles project is creditable to the spirit of the town and has a significant relation to the general scheme for supplying all conditions on which the restoration of river traffic depends. That towns like St. Charles are moving in the matter is evidence that one fact has wide appre- This is that the river port which neglects local harbor improvements will be left behind when the streams of benefit-bringing traffic | begin flowing swiftly and strongly over the new ciation. routes. —- -—_— — @@ @- — ‘*‘DRESS-UP’’ WEEK FOR MEN. The culmination of a sartorial conspiracy, in which bodies and associations of tailors have epenly engaged for some time, is a “Dress-Up Week” schedited to come off in St. Louis dur- ine April. The program is to turn the male population into strutting peacocks and have them vie with each other on dress parade during these terrible seven days. We gather that prizes will he offered and every inducement made to plain men to “spruce up.” Dress-Up Week will have ite appeal to bank presidents, gamblers, bartenders and other habitual fancy dressérs, but we doubt whether it will excite the average plain citizen.

The Frenchman who declared that “the style is the man” did not refer to his apparel—the least important thing about him-—but rather re- ferred to the style of his interior. The exterior styles tailors prescribe for civilized men these days are increasingly incongruous with his grow- ing simplicity, his cultivation of ease, directness, efficiency, if you please, and his trend towards naturalness in thought, expression, living. : Styles that bind him, confine and retard his movement—pants that nobody could run in— pants with cuffs on them—vests like corsets—- -eoats of which he is consclous every time he would use his arms—coats he is moved to shed on any pretext—these are the abominations put upon ws by our natural enemies, the tailors. If the tailors wish to ingratiate themselves and their calling, if they wish to provide a.sensational occasion, let them devise some comfortable cover- ing and protection for the male shape that will do away with the natural repugnance and irrita- tion the normal man feels toward a brand-new suit of clothes. mat , ‘ ae ohn Pelt a in : a Ae 7 Be oe 7 t AY de) BOE or “LF , “iy BO Hie Rae a RE PT nae ee ee ae soe PET See PERG oe imp EE pe a GCN POE ORE aR NTT ONES ESM ee ie BOP reatey hh Bad ee AE SATS he ret.

Rheumatism is caused by poison- ous toxin, called uric acid, which is absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do dou- ble work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a table- spoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morna- ing for a week. This is said to elim- inate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus rid- ding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results oy thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink which overcomes uric acid and fs beneficial to dul aldneys as well. — A “ eee should | as | see } sohb- | to } inde- ; — -_——_ guess she he said Lihan. unusual length. “I doesn’t do much scratching,” “as he passeqd along, “and I suspect doesn’t lay. many eggs.

= FAIR GAINS THE RULE IN STOCK MARKET Issues Are Higher at the Closing, Trading Fairly Active Most By Leaked Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post- -saanerS NEW YORK, March 15 he Even- ing Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, says: “After another early rise of a point Or more with the war munitions shares again in the lead, today’s movement on the Stock Exchange be- came extremely irregular, with nu- merous downward reactions, and with evidence of large speculative realizing. “This could hardly be called weok- ness, though the later relapse in some industrial stocks was fairly vio- jent. The movement appeared a re- flect, however,. a certain mistrust over the character of the movement in the highly speculative shares dur- ing the past two days, Railroad stocks, though most of them fell back from their earlier high level, maintained, on the whole, an aspect of great firmness. “Phases of the industrial situation were reflected today in the Iron Age's weekly report, showing that in the steel trade differences of % per ton in quota- tions on the same material are common, that one large producer has named its price for delivery throughout 1917, while another is taking business only up to the middle of 1916, and a third is refusing to quote — for any date. The Iron e itself remarks that the last vestige doubt as to the runaway character of the steel market has disappeared, prices, t thinks, reach new danger levels with ok week, but demand does not halt on that account, it rather grows. But even the steel trade seems singularly unable to say clearly just what it means by ‘danger level.’ In the ordinary lan- guage of finance and industry that ex- pression describes a market in which advance of prices has reached such a — of extravagance that a violent wnward movement, accompanied by demoralized trade, and followed by something like depression, is to be ex- eat Fenton. in 1903, copper im 1907, stocks in 1901 and 1906, had reached such a ‘dan- ger level.’ In the steel trade the actual present movement of prices and market conditions have been exceedingly close tu a superficial resemblance of those, tvhich existed at the dates referred to, in the other markets, but it is far more dif- ficult to formulate predictions.”’ DETAILED REPORT OF DAY’S TRADING IN WALL STREET) : NEW YORK. March 15.—Activity and gen- eral etrength were again the dominant fea- tures of today’s early market, vesterdav’s buving movement being resumed on a broad scale, gains of a point or more were regis- tered by American Locomotive, Ar- erican Can.

ERTRUDE, the Jarr’s light-run- ning domestic, was serving the oatmeal for breakfast and Mrs. Jarr cast an eye around the table—the eye of a domestic drillmaster. Not a thing escaped it. ‘It was an accident,”” mumbled Mr. Jarr, for the eye was upon him, and at the same time it took in a fresh and steaming coffee stain upom the spot- less tablecloth. “Is it an accident to ask for your coffee before you've had your fruit or cereal?” asked Mrs. Jarr, coldly. Mr. Jarr mumbled again, this time to the effect that he wahted his coffee first. “You wouldn’t want your coffe 1 ‘st if you didn’t feel the craving for its stimulation,” said Mrs. Jarr. “If .ou WILL indulge in more insidious stim- ulants than coffee night after night, _why’’—— Here Mrs. Jarr checked her- self. “‘However, the children are pres- ent,” she added. “Emma, sit up straight! Willie, look what you’re do- ing!” } Mr. Jarr thought he was now es- caping. But he was not. “And, as I was going to say,” re- sumed Mrs. Jarr, the eye being again upon Mr. Jarr, “if YOU would only cure yourself of the most unpleasant habit you have of keeping your spoon in your coffee cup you would not be upsetting your coffee all the time. That was a clean tablecloth. Now look at it!” Mr, Jarr said nothing, but Mra, Jarr had still much to say. “Gertrude complains continually,” she went on. “It is very discouraging to a girl to have to stop all her other work to rub stains out of a tablecloth. She isn’t expected to do the washing, and she rightly regards having to do over an otherwise clean tablecloth as an imposition.” Master Jarr, thinking his mother’s at- tention was distracted, reached out an investigatins finger to poke a fried egg in its big. round, yellow center. A»*rap across the knuckles deftly ap- plied with a tablespoon was swift retri- bution. “How dare you put your fingers on - 4 the food, you naughty boy!”’ were the words that accompanied the wift re- prisal. “Eat your oatmeal!” } Master Jars took his aching «nuckles out oF his moth and choked back a soh with a spoonful of the Scotch national dish. ° “Oatnfeal is healthfu: and oatmeal is g00g for you; thing I know of that hasn’t doubled in price,’ Mrs. Jarr added. “Maw, I can’t eat oatmeal. It makes me sick,” he said. And he gave a preliminary syinp- tom of illness by making a fearful grimace and wheezing dismally. “And it makes ME sick, too!” cried _Uittle Miss Jarr. “Ice cream never makes me sick, . ® your son etill at college haudging erep cetveq eveout him. hes anything sul,” aed vVul complexion.
