Missouris Taxation Problem and How It Can Be Solved Prof. Loeb of the State University, a Noted Authority, Explains for the Post-Dispatch Our Revenue and Assessment Shortcomings and Tells Why He Believes a Tax Commission Is the Only Means by Which the Errors in the Present System Can Be Corrected. By DR. ISIDOR LOEB, Columbia, Mo., and a widely-known authority on taxation. OR many years public cfficials and students F of taxation have called attention to some grave defects in Missouri’s tax system. During the present year the failure of the State gevenue to meet the necessary appropriations for State institutions has directed public attention to the seriousness of one phase of the problem. It is an opportune time defects and the appro |: «+ ag priate remedies. 43 Any system of taxa tion should posses: two essential character Astics. First, capacity to produce revenué adequate for all neces gary public needs, and second, an equitabl It has been indicated above that during the present year Missouri's system has failed to @€ produce adequate rev- Dror: enue. This, however, fs only an acute phase of a situation which has PORTRAIT. existed for many years during which the State has been prevented from undertaking important getivities by reason of the general inadequacy ®f State revenue. That this situation has not mn due to extravagant legislative appropria- tions may be shown by an examination of the ctual figures for State revenue and a comparison th similar statistics for some neighboring tates. The following figures are taken from the official State reports for the year 1914, which are a _— W ithe latest published.

In other words, the city of St. Louis had available for its ordi- fy expenses nearly three times the amount by Missouri for its general State ex- During the same year St. Louis spent | $2,139,446 for its Police Department, or nearly thirds of the amount expended by Missouri all departments. _ One of the curious results to which partisanship 1% | lends is shown in the charge of extravagance in ) tate expenditures which each political party in urn makes against the other. While individual | mses of extravagance may be found, it is sub- i} : : : Hy > ef nitted that, with the revenue indicated above, no . fevernment which undertook to meet the neces- ary demands of State departments and institu- ions would have anything of consequence left nm wasteful appropriation. As a matter of fact i revenue has been wholly inadequate and Gov. -ipior found it: necessary to veto amounts appro- fated by the last General Assembly aggregating . In nearly all of the cases the cause ' the veto Was lack of revenue, rather than ob- hon to the character of the appropriation. | Funds for State Purposes 25 _ Per Cent Below Appropriations | Ea te re “appropriations after deduction of the 2 pre aba bie revenue and the Governor held Dean of the Faculty of Missouri University at | might justify the expenditure. until such time as the condition of the revenue Instead of im- proving, however, the situation became worse. Not only were these amounts not released, but at the beginning of this year the Governor was com- pelled to resort to the extraordinary procedure of notifying State departments and institutions that certain amounts- which had been fully ap- proved could not be expended because of the con- dition of the general revenue fund. The amounts held up by this action of the Governor aggregat- ed about $2,500,000, making a total reduction of ’ approximately $4,700,000 in the amounts which the Legislature thought necessary, a decrease of more ian 25 per cent. The situation is very critical, yas many institutions had already planned the expenditures and will be greatly crippled by this third trimming of legislative appropriations. This recent action of the Governor is significant \as indicating that the State revenue situation has become more acute during the present biennial period. This is due to the decrease in the rev- enue from saioon licenses and from the beer in- spection tax because of the growth of local option and to the decline in revenue from the State pen- itentiary, owing to the abandonment of the con- tract labor system in that institution. While Missouri Legislatures cannot te charged with extravagance, they have failed to make pro- vision for adequate revenue to meet the growing needs of the State and have neglected to supply the deficiency in existing sources of revenue due to the spread of dry territory and the loss of earnings of convicts. Few Missourians Realize How Light State Taxes Really Are EW ppople realize how very slight is the F burden of State taxation in Missouri. One may think that his taxes are high, but he usually overlooks the fact that about 95 per cent of this amount is for county, city and school pur- poses. The total tax rate for State purposes in Missouri is only 18 cents on the $100 assessed val- uation. Of this amount 3 cents is used for inter- est and public debt, leaving 15 cents for general revenue, of which, as indicated above, one-third is returned to the counties for public school pur- poses. Hence of the State tax on property only 10 cents on the $100 assessed valuation is used for the needs of the State. A man with a farm or house assessed for $1000, pays $1 in taxes for State purposes. As the assessed value ranges from 20 per cent to 60 per cent of the real value, the burden of taxation for State purposes aver- ages less than 4 cents on the $100 real value of property, or less than one-twenty-fifth of 1 per cent. ‘That the burden of State taxation in Missouri is relatively as well as absolutely slight is shown by the following table of comparative tax rates for State purposes and assessed valuations of property for the year 1914: Tax rate for State Assessed value purposes on$100° of taxable assessed value. property. $2,422,361,952 1,939,876,166 932,476,912 2,804,789,903 1,369,000,900 1,888,241,787 STATE Illinois Indiana Minnesota Missouri —~' Kansas Property Assessed Nearly ; a Billion More Than Missouri's ANSBAS Is the only State whose tax rate is K lower than Missouri, but it will be noted that the assessed value of property in Kansas is nearly $1,000,000,000 in excess of that in Missouri. This is due te the fact that in Kan- sas property is assessed at its full value, while in Missouri the average is less than 40 per cent of the reali value. As 12 cents on full value is equal to 30 cents on a 40 per cent valuation, the actual burden of State taxation in Kansas is double that ip Missouri. This is further shown by the fact that in 1914 the State tax on property brought into the zen. eral revenue fund of Missouri only 2,711,222, as compared with $3,345,712 in the State of Kansa3. In some states the problem of adequate state revenue has been solved by increasing the tax rate for state purposes. Thus, for example, in Illinois, the rate has been increased to 70 cents for the State University. In Missouri the Legis- lature cannot increase the rate of taxation as the Constitution provides that the tax rate for State purposes cannot exceed 15 cents on the $150 assessed valuation. Kansas also has retained 1 low tax rate, but has secured adequate revenue by increasing the assessed value of property to its full value. In Missouri the Legislature has pro- vided by statute for the assessment of propert) at “its true value,” but this law has not been en- forced and property is assessed at different rates in different counties, but in all cases much below its real value. The explanation of the failure to enforce the laws of Missouri requiring property to be assessed at its true value is to be found in the character OONTINVED ON PAGE EIGHT. reer at ek ay ‘ig tig ag + il yet Seri = Sanna ree aeainatietd mone Do but Destiny, in the Guise of Polities.

BAKER,” I had been told by a man well acquainted with him, “‘is the kind of thoroughly good citizen we all approve of highly—and fail to imitate! He has lo{ty ideals. He has high principles. He is utterly sincere. He is simple and unaffected, both in thought and life. He has a clear, well- disciplined mind. He has an _ extraordinary command of concise and effective speech. With- out being in the least effusive, he is a good niixer. You will find him full of charm. Out in Cleveland he lived in a modest frame house with his wife and three children, smoked 5-cent tobac- co in a 25-cent pipe,-drove his own Ford and for amusement read Greek and Latin books on the streets cars. “It is interesting to notice,’ my informant added, ‘that he is the second of Tom Johnson’s disciples to be lifted into prominence by Presi- dent Wilson. Brand Whitlock is the other. “It is hardly exaggeration to say that Brand Whitlock, in Belgium, has proved himself a great man. Will Baker be as successful in the War Department? “Frankly, much as I like him personally, [ am wondering whether he will measure up to the job. What he has done he has done well. But —he has never been tested out in really big af- fairs. Has he the capacity for them? You know, a 38-caliber revolver may be a perfect weapon— as a revolver—but fail lamentably, if pressed into service as a seacoast gun. “Is Newton D. Baker big enough to be Secre- tary of War at a time like this? That’s what I’m asking myself. That’s what the country is ask- ing itself, I think.” Naturaliy, those remarks ran through my head as I talked with the new Secretary of War this week. I saw him twice, once in his modest bed- recom at the University Cluh, where he is living for the present as a bachelor “‘because the chil- dren are in school in Cleveland and we don't want to break into their year.” The second time he was in his office in the War Department, the office to which one pene- trates through that dread antechamber where hang the portraits of all the previous incumbents of the office. If ever I were Secretary I should enter my office by some other passage. It would be altogether too depressing to face daily the effi- gies of all the forgotten worthies who were once even as great as I. He Is a Little Man bul His Appearance Is Not Dwarfish N both occasions I got the same impression () of the physical man. Nature, in molding his body, did a neat job. He is a marked- ly small man, but in proportion all the way through. His gittleness carries no suggestion of the dwarfish. His head is large, but not enough sc to make him look topheavy. His hands and feet are of moderate size, well-formed and mus- cular. He has a chest big enough to breathe in, a waist which carries no adipose luggage. His skin is swarthy, his hair black and straight. A pair of hazel eyes full of life, but comprehensive rather than keen; the wide mouth of an orator or actor, mobile yet firm of lip; the brow of a scholar: a face in general in which the perpen- dicular lines of strength are accentuated, a man- ner at once dignified and friendly, a bearing which I should call attentive rather than alert— these are the characteristics of the outward. His mentality is not so easily characterized. I shall have to try to bring it out for you in a series of rather detached glimpses, as he himself revealed it to me in the course of our conversa- tion. Our talk ranged over many topics. We had, for instance, been speaking of the extraordinary amount of reading of standard English authors he had done before he was 20 years old, and I asked him whether the familiarity with his moth- er tongue thus acquired had not been an im- portant element in his various successes. He said: “l think that is true.

Va., a community of 8000 persons, wherein his father was the leading physician. He was the sec- ond of four sons. At the age of 20, in 1891, he re- ceived his degree of Bachelor of Arts from Johns Hopkins University, having completed the four years’ course in three years. Followed a year of graduate work in Roman law, comparative juris- prudence and economics, and then his law course, which he took at Washington and Lee University, at Lexington, Va., completing the two years’ work in one year. “That compression,” he told me, family reasons. Money was not plentiful in a country doctor’s family, and there were other sons to educate,”’ ‘“‘was done for Began His Political Career as Secretary to Postmaster-General FTER his graduation in 1893, Baker hung A out his shingle in Martinsburg to indi- cate that he was “willing to practice law, ss he puts it, and remained in that receptive con- ditidh until 1896, the last year of the Cleveland ad- ministration, when Postmaster-General Wilson called him to Washington to be his private secre- tary. “I divided my two cases between the other members of the legal bar,” he told me, “and went.” That service ended, he took a trip abroad in 1897, returned to Martinsburg and remained there, still perfectly willing to practice law, until 1898, when he was invited to come to Cleveland, O., as a partner with Foran & McTague, one of the city’s leading firms of trial lawyers.

Opposition does not make my mind bristle. <A difference of opinion is not a personal thing with me. Being So Little and Looking So Young Has Helped Him | 66 ND I think,” he said, his dark eyes A twinkling, and his wide lips quirking with fun, “it has been a very decided advantage to me to be so little and to look so young. I really mean that,” he hastened to add and cited two instances in illustration. One was his argument before the Supreme Court of the United States in the Cleveland traction cases, an argument which attracted the flatteringly favor- able comment of the learned Justices. The other was a speech which was one of the outstanding features of the Baltimore convention which nom- inated President Wilson. “Neither of these,” he continued, “could by any stretching of words be called a great speech. The natural fairmindedness of men was what pulled me through in both cases. I looked so handicapped that my hearers sald instinctively, ‘Give the boy a chance!’” Such cool, almost academic self-analysis led me to ask him how life struck him, so to speak— what ambitions it stirred in him. “I’d like to practice law,” he said. “That is my ambition. There is no office position that I care for. But I'd like to practice and practice and practice law, for an indefinite number of years. I love it.” Further talk along that line developed the rath- er interesting fact that the new Secretary of War is one of those men who seem to have been moved He went) forward by the urgings and propulsion of their there, met Tom Johnson and was magnetized by ( friends instead of fighting forward of their own that association, was drawn into local politics and | accord in response to an inner impulse. | Post- had 14 years of active campaigning there, serv-/{ master-General Wilson all but dragged him from ing four terms as City Solicitor under Mayor John-( his brieflessness in Martinsburg to get his first son and two terms as Mayor after his chief was deposed. He declined to run for a third term, and had just resumed his law practice at the be- ginning of this year when he was called to Washington. Returning to our topic, I asked him what other qualities besides his ability as speaker he felt indebted for what he had accomplished. He pon- dered that and said: “Looking at myself imper- sonally, I am inclined to think I have a very pa- tient mind. I mean by that a mind which moves slowly, which plods forward instead of dashing or leaping. There is. nothing brilliant about ft.

Martin Foran dragged him to Cleveland to become a trial lawyer. Tom Johnson dragged him into politics. And Woodrow Wilson has just dragged him to the War Departnient. The circumstances of the Foran case are un- usual enough to partake of the romantic. In 1897, when the young and still younger-looking attor- ney was returning from his first visit to Europe, he was table mate of the late W. T. Stead and a mild-mannered, retiring English barrister. One day Baker came on deck to find the barrister in @ peck of trouble. A stalwart, lawyerish, six- foot Irishman, full of Gaelic fire, had waylaid him and was charging him itn his own person with all the wrongs England had ever perpetrat- ed on the distressed country. “I happened to be rather familiar with the Irish land laws,” so:'Mr. Baker tells it, “and contrived to substitute myself for the barrister f renee eI ASAt el.

The upshot of it was that my opponent and | became good friends and spent the rest of the voyage playing chess together. We parted in New York. I went back to Martins- burg, and no word passed between us for two years. Then the man—Martin Foran—wrote me the firm’s business had so increased that another partner was required and that he wanted me. “Tt had long felt I should be in a larger com- munity than Martinsburg, and I liked Cleveland, but I knew they wanted a trial lawyer, which I was not. So I went on full of excuses, prepared to thank him and be dismissed in friendliness. Before I could get my first excuse out, Mr. Foran had ushered me into an office and said, ‘Here's yours,’ and before [| caught my breath ‘he had sent some clients in for me to talk with: I stayed in Cleveland and learned to be a frial lawyer.” . His enlistment as an active fighter in the John- son campaign was equally unusual. “Tom” was sick one night and the young lawyer was pressed into service to fill his place at a rally. “Tom's sick,’ said the man who introduced him: “This is Newton D. Baker, who's going to speak in his place. He's a lawyer... That's all I know about him. Go ahead, boy, and tell them what you know.” Baker told them, and so began the activi- ties which led to four terms as Solicitor and legal leader of the anti-traction combine forces and two terms as Mayor. I asked Mr. Baker how the Mayor of Cleveland's job compared with that of the Secretary of War. He said: “I love personal relationships. One of the pleasantest things about being Mayor of a city the size of Cleveland is the great number of people with whom it puts one into touch. At the War Department I find a large part of my duties is taken up with seeing people. I am very glad that is so. I like to see people constantly. Of course,” he explained, “I don’t mean that flocks of cas- ual visitors drop in to see me here. But the business of the department brings many people to me dally.” Og get tly git | “Uncertainty and Indirectness Only Failings One Need Fear” ) HAD meant to ask him how the two positions ; compared in size and difficuty. He was non- commital on that point and I suggested that at least he did not seem appalled by the size of this new task, even though the Mexican situa- tion had given him a baptism of fire for a greet- ing. He said: “Tam not appalled. No man can hope to escape mistakes. Mistakes are inevitable. I know I shall make some. But the only things one need be really afraid of are insincerities and indirect- ness. Also, it is well to remember that unfamiliar tasks have a way of looking moutainous. Famil- arity reduces their proportions. At present I am working from 8:30 In the morning to midnight to become familiar with mine. That slow mind of mine,” he said smilingly, “compels me to put in those long hours.” “What is your idea of the functions of the Sec- retary of War?” “The duties,” he said, “are largely legal. most all the Secretaries have been lawyers.” cited the names of many, his predecessor, Garrison.) ‘Strictly military af- fairs are not my province. Experts must take care of these things. Legal questions—touch- ing the conflicting rights of State and Federal Governments, the navigability of streams, the proceedings of courts martial—such things com- prise the problems I have to settle. I am an ex- ecutive. Congress has made laws governing my department. It is my duty to see that they are carried out conscienticusly.” Such a conception and definition seemed to me reminiscent of Admiral Dewey's naive notion of the ideal attitude of a President, and strangely at odds with Mr. Baker’s own constructive record as a municipal official. This led to some talk about the relation of the civilian Secretary to his mfl- itary subordinates. He continued: “It is a tradition that the Secretary of War shall always be a civilian.

MAY BRING PEACE TO MEXICO. Indianapolis News: If, as now seems likely, the two Governments have found a common basis for action the result will be altogether good. It would have been unfortunate if Villa ‘had suc- ceeded in his purpose, which was to set the two nations against each other. His raid was as much an attack on the Carranza Government as it was on the American city. That fact is now generally recognized in this country. And many who were the severest critics of the President’s Mexican policy are now supporting him, not only in his campaign against Villa, but in his effort to avoid intervention. It miay be that out of this new de- yelopment peace for Mexico may be born. CARRANZA MUST CO-OPERATE. Chicago Herald: Now that the balm has been administered Washington should insist that Car- ranza give assurance that this settles the question and that he and his titular subordinates will co- operate in the effort to exterminate Villa. It might also look a little further in the question of just how far these titular subordinates really | recognize the authority of Carranza and to what extent they are inclined to act independently. The clearing up of the attitude of Carranza and his Generals is a prerequisite to knowing exactly what must be done to make the move against Villa effective. NO CONQUEST INTENDED. Cleveland Plain Dealer: Intelligent South Americans understand that the United States is - not today in Mexico for the purpose of conquest. They know, as the citizens of the United States know, that this republic desires not one foot of Mexican territory or one dollar of Mexican treas- ure. So much could have been said a decade aco. Distrust of the United States has not been Jong It is importaat that no act be committed and no suggestion made that shall tend to revive jealous antagonism: now happily dead. Regardless of when we come out of Mexico, we shall withdraw with hands as clean as when we left Cuba. Any other policy would be almost as unpopular in the United States as it would in Mexico and Latin America. ANOTHER PREPAREDNESS LESSON. New York Tribune: . War, even against a Mex- ican outlaw chief like Villa, cannot be conducted by writing notes. The practical choice before the President seems, therefore, to be between a°. . ecepting co-operation from Carranza and letting aN Ff : : § i ‘l ees } ek +e ~~ Bh By : ; Bi, cy. bes pas | | . | - aE ¥ % * x Me « » 2 yt ry | : oy him do most of the work of catching Villa and calling in some more Pan-American arbitrators who will judiciously syndicate the enterprise by putting 2 joint price on Villa's head. Jt is an unpleasant predicament for real Amer- icans. Yet it may help in exposing the idiocy which blocks the way to the creation of a real first line army equal to national needs. ‘The lesson of Vera Cruz, of Columbus, of our whole humiliating experience with Mexico for the last three years, is unmistakable. It is an unanswer- able argument for the creation and maintenance .of a minimum standing army of 250,000 men. A DIFFICULT CAMPAIGN.

Yet it must not be forgotten that the few thousand men the arch murderer may have at his back have been in service for a long time. They know the terrain, its hiding places and its opportunities for offense and defense. They know where water is to be found. They are well up in a school of warfare which knows neither chivalry or humane consid- erations. Against these ruffians will go an army of high spirit and great traditions. As things are meas- ured today, it will probably be a little war. But there will be opportunities for great heroism and for great suffering. Whatever the cost, we may be-sure that Uncle Sam will stay on the job until it is thoroughly done. A TIME TO BE CAREFUL. New York Evening Post: Our rulers and army commanders ought to proceed on the understand- ing that we have to deal not only with a punctil- ious and obstinate Mexican President, but behind him with a people sensitive, proud and militarily vainglorious. They may be preposterous in their attitude from the American point of view, but there their attitude stands, unquestionably a seri- ous element in the problem set us to solve. In accusing the Mexicans, in their pride and igno- rance, of shutting their eyes to the facts, we must not shut our own eyes to the facts. It is distinctly a time for all concerned tu wali warily. President Wilson cannot desire to undo ir a day all that he has wrought at for three years—namely. the assuring of Mexico tha: we do not covet her lands and will never be guilty of aggressive attacks upon her; together with the building up of his policy of friendliness end con- fidence and co-operation for all the American re- publics. Accordingly, it is certain that he will do everything in his power to make it plain to Mexicans that with the capture of Villa and the extermination of his murderous bands, o'r aims will at once be withdrawn to our own soil Much will depend upon the discretion an:] tact of the officers in command of our forces as they press into Mexico. Gen. Pershing has stressed the ned of the most careful consideration tor the feel- ings as wel' as the rights of the popuiation where our troops pass. Truly, it is an “anxious task” which our Government has unde:taken; but with good will and good fortune it may be accom- plished. NO WAR; A WOLF HUNT. Washington Times: Between this country and Mexico there is no war; with Carranza in his senses and wishing like us to exterminate the Villa bandits, there will be no war. It will be a wolf hunt. In any event we shall not see the conflict of men and hear the crash of arms in colossal col- lision as the Old World sees and hears them. In Mexico there will never be, by the standards of Europe, a battle. And yet this running to earth of an outlaw calling himself a chieftain of revo- litionists may bring to the American people a deep and lasting realization of what the nation might have to face in its supreme obligation to itself and to civilization. If it take virtually all the military power which we possess to run down, corner and capture a poor Mexican horse thief, without numerous fol- lowers, destitute of resources, virtually naked of weapons, deserted by his own people, hunted by his own Government, an almost solitary fugitive on the face of the earth, what must we do to pre- pare ourselves against the day when a great mil- itary Power, perhaps the magnificent conqueror of principalities, kingdoms and empires, might come thundering at our gates to sack our national wealth and to make of our people vassals? “ si ras Pa, ae Red eS ee EX Say ocr ee eT: PP ET le anti — SOTO ' oe —e €s ‘4 — — oS wy cs eT in, oaks ts lit | THE FLIGHT INTO MEXICO. —Cesare in New.

It is said that Germany is now willing to negotiate on the basis of evacuation of Belgium and France and the partition of Servia, Montenegro and Albania between Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria. Under the plan neither side would receive indemnity and Po- land would have some sort of autonomy. A cessaticn of hostilities on such terms would imply merely a truce during which: the present belligerenzs would get ready to renew the con- flict rather than a genuine peace. Nothing would be settled. Germany would throw herself into the work of building a fleet capable of contesting Great Britain’s sea supremacy, and Great Britain would devote herself to creating an army rivaling the army of Germany. Russia would set about drilling «1d arming her unnumbered millions, and France and Italy would further exhaust them- selves in military preparations. This country would deem that it had no option, but to enter itself in the same mad race, and other pacific Powers would be under a similar compulsion. Europe and the world would become more than ever an arnited camp over against the breaking out of another and even greater war. Rival militarists can find reasons for support- ing the making of an inconclusive peace, for each military Vewer will think it can make use of the respite to repair its mistakes and get ready in a more effective way; but it is difficult to how an® irtelligent pacifist can support such a thing. The state of the world under it would be niore intolerable than if there is a straight tri- umph for either side. Should Germany win and attain to world dominance, comparable to chat displayed by ancient Rome, the world, while not free in the old sense, would have the blessing of a Pax Nomanus. It is probable our German friends, ‘f possessing the power to rule mankind, would do their work well. On the other hand, should the allies win and a new lease of life be given to the principle of democratic nationalicm, it is possible, even probable, that some sort of federated internationalism would be evolved and would k2e9 fretful members of the family of na- tions in order. But if there is no decision the contest will be renewed in a new and more terrific form. The next time this country could not hope tc escape embroilment. Abraha’n Lincoln said something profoundly true whon he declared, in regard to the ante-bve!- lum conditions in this country, that a house divid- ed against itself could not stand; that this coun- try would become wholly slave or wholly free. Similarly it may be said that the world divide] against ‘tself cannot hope for enduring peace. The German theory of imperialism and the the- ory of democratic natlionalism are incompatible. Irrepressivle conflict is on between them. The bugles have sounded that will never call retreat. Many Germans do not realize this even as many in Rome ‘lid not realize it when grappling with Car- thage in the Punic wars. Nevertheless, the logic of events is inexorable. German imperialism will find no place to stop, even as Roman imperial- ism found ne place to stop, although the party of the Scipios, after the victory over Carthage, defi- 28 Agere iy eee er —* <7" bil —_ a » i Ske 3s a wl sbi ghey SAO AP EE OPEL New York Sun: The report from Mexico that Gen. Carranza’s sun has set and that the coming man in the Constitutional party is Gen. Alvaro Obregon may be the shadow of a coming event. Ini men’s minds there has long been a conviction —we speak of Mexico—that Venustiano Carranza will never be President. Aside from the fact that he is temperamentally unfitted to rule a turbu- Jent country, his deserts are in question. It is true that he set up the standard of revolt in Coa- huila and made a respectable figurehead for the revolution, but in the military successes in the field he played no part, and such passivity is fatal in a Mexican hero. To Francisco Villa the first chief owed his emergence from obscurity at Hermosillo. Villa is now a fugitive, having fallen from his high mili- tary estate: but with his sword he carved the first chief's way to capital after capital and even set uy) governments for him to administer. Villa proving impossible as a political leader, intrigue soon undermined him as a commander, and he went down to defeat before Alvaro Obregon, who had displaced bim as Carranza’s military chief- tain. It was through Obregon’: victories that the first chief retained his standing as the states- man of the revolution, expounder of the Constitu- tion and director of diplomatic relations. The first chief remained an imposing figurehead, but his followers knew that the man of the hour was the conqueror of Francisco Villa. Mexicans dear- ly love a soldier. They will bow down to no one cise. They cannot distinguish between a civilian and a military leader in a revolution; that is to say, the man they honor and are ready to obey must be a soldier. If Francisco Villa had been a man of some ed- ucation and worth of character he could have set aside the first chief and stepped to the head of affairs. But brave as he was, Villa understood his limitations. Alvaro Obregon has those merits and qualifications which Villa always lacked. The ranchman who became General of the Car- ranza forces is a solid, useful, masterful, respecta- ble man of the people. He has studied economics and political history. He has enough savoir faire and breeding for high position. A hero of many battles, there is nothing of the dictator about him To many Mexicans he is the quiet, strong, honest, resourceful man who could reconcile the factions, compose differences and prove a safe executive. That he is also the choice of the Generais is probably true. It is therefore credible that the Constitutionalists are deserting the first chief and turning to Obregon as savior of the country from the reactionaries. There is no doubt that he is the popular hero, and he holds in the hollow of his hand the fortunes of Venustiano Carranza. ritely tried to commit Rome to a nonexpansionist policy. The interests of this country are against the ne- gotiating of an inconclusive peace. A clean-cut German victory would be better for us and better for the world. Should New England become New Prussia and the rest of the continent become Greater Germany, this state of affaiss would be more bearable than one in which each succeeding generation would be merely food for cannon and the waging of war, as in the dark ages, become the only permanent business of mankind ee y ~ Vata, urn pat et ae a eee ee eg y ae 4 Ly. iff | Vis fMG 7 ‘fa * “a 4 f FL re (1) gpa & THE HEIGHT OF PREPAREDNESS. — Orr in Nashville Tennessean. 9 Portugal at War PORTUGAL KEEPS TH: FAITH. New York Herald: Germany's “scrap paper’ doctrine finds no adherence in little Por- of tugal. In the eyes of the Government and people of that land a treaty is something to be lived uy) to. For more than 500 years Portugal has been ) bound in closest alliance with Great Britain and bas profited from the binding. ) the Portuguese Minister at Washington, has ex- { : , | \ Viscount de Alte, piained the reason impelling his country to enter the war by the side of her ally. In a word it is simply..that Portugal keeps the faith. The'part the forces of this sturdy little nation will play on the Continent may be small, but there will doubtless be a different story to tell in East Africa. where Germany is making a last stand for her colonial empire. WHY PORTUGAL GOES TO WAR. New York World: The occasion of Portugal's entering the war has been truly inferred. The statement of the legation in Washington makes the knowledge official that Great Britain called upon her to fulfil her treaty obligations. One need: not go back 500 years for precedents, as the legation does. The two nations have been trade friends more than 200 years, since the Methuen treaty was signed; and since the Na- poleonic wars Portugal has been bound to fur- nish 10,000 troops at Great Britain’s demand. The HKritish Cabinet probably took this long delayed course for complex reasons. In the dearth of merchant snipping, the German ships seized in Portuguese harbors may have been the chief rea- son. Ten thousand troops would not ge far in Western Europe now; but for a consideration Portuga! can send 10 times as many, if equipped by British money, and their assistance need not be despised. What Pcrtugal may gain by war is another mat- ter. The prize may well be'financial, since she is heavily burdened in proportion to her means. If the entente wins the war, Portugal may be put on her feet again. In any case, the Government has probably chosen the lesser of two evils. BRAZIL'S ATTITUDE. Cleveland Plain-Dealer: Germany’s declara- tion of war against Portugal has had one result not foreseen. It has turned the sympathy of the ereatest Latin-American republic strongly to the cause of Germany's enemies. For the Brazilian affection for the Portuguese fatherland is strong and practical. Wealthy Bra- zilians zo to Maderia and Lisbon to spend their money. The welfare of Portugal is dear to all Brazilians, and the success of Portugal and her allies in the European war is sincerely desired. Prazil is the only Portuguese country of the Western Hemisphere and it is the only American nation which gained its independence without a loody revolution. The separation was not vio- lent, and no scars were left. The contrast be- \ tween Brazil's easy separation from Portugal and the crue! and bitter struggles of the other South American states to throw off the domination of Spain is striking and may be an indication of the difference between the Portuguese and Spanish temperament. In 1808 John VI, King of Portugal, fled to his Brazilian colony to escape the conquering Na- poleon. He was a benefactor and greatly aided ir the development of the vast realm. King John made Rio Janeiro the Portuguese capital for 13 years, not returning to Lisbon till 1821. At the time of bis departure the sovereign did not re- store the former dependent status of Brazil, but left his eldest son as Prince Regent. The country, however, after 13 years as head of the Portuguese empire, was unwilling to accept even the nominal dependence implied < «4 : : ES an eR a RSE OL ea pn ee ae Brazil May Help | t) ot a Prince Regent. In 1822, one year after the departure of King John, the Brazilians declared for independence, and the Prince Regent, Dom Pedro, was made Emperor. Pedro gladly relin- quished his claim to the Portuguese throne and peacefully assumed the rulership of the greater nation. He abdicated in 1831, and his son, Dom Pedro II, after a prosperous reign of 58 years, was exiled in 1889 by another bloodless revolution, and the Brazilian republic was established. In this history there is nothing to inspire enmity between the little mother country and the im- mense daughter, and the Brazilians of today are proud to call themselves Lusitans or Lusitano- Americans. «wt The effect of the sudden manifestation of Bra- zilian enthusiasm for the cause of Portugal's a!- lies will probably not be felt in Europe, but it may be unpleasant in certain sections of Brazil. In the Brazilian states of Parana, Santa Catha- rina and Rio Grande do Sul there are large anil important German colonies. German activities in Southern Brazil have, in fact, been viewed with epprehension by some of the more timorous up- holders of the Monroe Doctrine. It is possibie that the position of these colonists, who have re- mained Germans and have declined assimilation with the Brazilians, may be rendered somewhat difficult. On the whole, however, the Brazilian attitude !s interesting rather than significant. There is scarcely the remotest possibility that Brazil] or eny other Latin-American state will be drawn into the European war. THE METHUEN TREATY. Louisville Courier-Journal: The Root-Roose- velt school of politics who have shouted that President Wilson was wrong in not fighting to prevent the invasion of Belgium, a country with which the United States had no defensive alliance, have tried to explain away the failure of the Roosevelt administration to stand by the treaty with Korea, which provided that if either Amer- ica or Korea should be encroached upon by an- other Power the other party to the treaty would exert itself to prevent the catastrophe. It is point- ed out that the treaty was absurd on its face be- cause Korea could not be of any service to Amer- ica. A case much more like that in which Korea and America were involved during the incumbency of Col. Roosevelt as President and Mr. Root as Secretary of War is that in which Great Britain and Portugal figure at present. Under the Methuen treaty, now more than 260 years old, and made when Portugal was a great maritime Power, Great Britain stands pledged to protect Tortugal, with her army and nary, in consideration of Portugal's having agreed to per- form similar services in Great Britain’s behalf. Portugal is hardly more able to help Great Brit- ain than Korea was to ald America. But the ob- ligations of Great Britain under the Methuen treaty are not regarded, on the Continent or in Great Britain, as being canceled because Portu- gal has become a small, unimportant country since the writing of the treaty, while Great Britain has become what Portugal once was, the first mari- time Power of the world. King Alfonso, because Portugal is virtually under British protection, and because the Portu- guese debt is pretty widely distributed atmong small investors in France, has thought " sary to decrease his Tr sure the entente that he will in no clroumstances invade Portugal while Great Britain ts engaged in wer. . 2 pwree & pee coe oe of one party to it no longer feeling any. the services of the other, treaty ma <3 one fie © ea ~<a — ~ * .

So surprising is it to see a girl so well known socially on the screens that it gives one a start. It is only for a moment, and she is gone, but she has had time to ‘*register’’ the fact that she has learned the ‘‘game,’’ which is much more difficult than would-be picture actresses think, and leaves a delightful im- pression. It takes a long time to get over being ‘‘camera-shy,’’ which is the same thing as having stage fright, and Miss Haydel evidently is perfectly un- conscious of the camera—that disturbing magnet that draws a beginner’s eyes as does 2 mirror, and spoils the film. It has been almost a year since Miss Haydel went out to Los Angeles, Cal., armed with a letter to William Christy Cabanne, formerly of St. Louis, now a picture director. He evidently found her good picture ma- terial as she has been in innumerable pictures—with Fairbanks, Hopper, and dozens of others—in fact, there scarcely has been a picture for sev- eral months that has not had her in one or more scenes. Steadily she has been getting closer to the camera, and not long ago had her first ‘‘close- up” picture. After the pirate picture was made ~.phe wrote to her mother, Mrs. Henry Haydel, that it had been “terribly ex- citing;” that in the midst of the fight between the pirates and the soldiers Fleming is on her way home from New Orleans, where she went to attend the Mardi Gras festivities.

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 abundanee of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to han- dle.

SIXTH & LOCUST ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH For long time he was supposed to ow one to believe the sonnets embody] the Farl of Pembroke, whose life seemed boast 2 TS to fit all the -ircumstances and allusions in the poems, and who had an affair with a fascinating lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth. This notorious came of too easy morals was a Mistress Mary Fitton. Mr. George Bernard Shaw ac- cépts these identifications and in his Dark Lady of the Sonnets sends Shak- speare prowling about at hight to keep @ rendezvous with the maid, instead of whom he meets the Queen herself. This theory was ali very well so long as Mary Fitton was considered a brunette, but woe to the supposition, all her por- traits show her a decided blonde. She may have veen changeable in her affec- tion, but hardly in her complexion. She had many lovers; William Shakspeare was not among them. The man was in fact the Earl of Southamptor, the only patron the poet ever had. His career was more romantic than any woman novelist would dare to invent. Before he was 20 he was dow- ered with all the wealth, all the graces and all the vices of ambition and desire. The Queen loved him as she loved Es- sex and Leicester. He danced the most gracefully, dressed the most fashionably, spoke the most charmingly, rode horse- back the must daringly, attended the play the most regularly, developed lit- erary associations the most sedulously. of all the young courtiers. And he loved most ardently, and un- fortunately, most successfully. Eliza- beth Vernon, cousin to the Earl of Es- sex, and he were so much discussed that he feared Elizabeth’s anger, so he went to the continent to fight Spaniards. But the story-book denouement occurred. He had to return hastily to marry his sweetheart in order to avert a scandal to her, to her famtiy, and to the Court. Loses Elizabeth’s Favor. All Elizabeth’s favor turned to bitter gall, and later, when Essex, likewise in royal disgrace, sought to stir London up to revolt against the Queen, even try- ing to inflame the populace by a per- formance of Shakspeare’s ‘‘Richard II” to justify the deposition of a sovereign, Southampton joined with him. Their dis- mai failure resulted for Essex in his execution, and for Southampton in a sentence of life imprisonment. After tie Q@ueen’s death the new King pardonad the noble prisoner, who found an outlet for his restless activities in colonizing schemes for America. In Virginia, Hampton River and Hampton Roads were named after him. He lived on eight years after Shaks- peare’s death. If he was the man of the sonnets, who was the woman? One wonders. What does her name matter after all? ‘Her tragic influence upon Shakspeare’s life is evident enough from these poems. It appeared in other places. The bit- terness of his disappointment the dra- matist injected into the Trojan Cressida, the most disturbing and otherwise un- explainable woman of all his creations. Considered in any other aspect than this, she is absolutely unworthy of him and his genius; studied in this connec- tion of the sonnets, she is as natural AAG so lie Pict hid GAA ERR DOE Bi nas aise IES BE BERRIEN ~ cae ott PES LIA SAI e et te ee oe 7. 4a + ais ee .

I! should listen to all the evidence and weigh it. If, then, I could not reach a decision which seemed right and wise to me, I should eall a council of the best men I could get. That is; the way to work out difficulties. That is what we used to do in Clevelani.”’ and he went’on to tell me of the an- nual three days’ meeting of the Board of Apportionment, behind locked doors, and the final emergence of the warring and disgruntled members, ail “bringing their troubles for father to wash out.” I asked him what he did for fun. “Play with my babies,” he said, and | told me of Betty, aged 11; was 9 on St. Patrick’s day, and Peggy, the baby, who is 4, and dreads giving up her toys no wthat she is a woman. As for sports: “I never in my life consciously took any exercise,” he said. “But,” he added seriously, ‘! have a genuine interest in sport. 't furnishes an outlet for energy that might otherwise burst out in harmful ways. But I’ve simply never had any time for it, just as I’ve never had time to realize my one dear ambition—to practice law.” About “preparedness” he felt obliged to decline to say a word, and IT reminded him of an interview in which he was freely quoted as saving that he was “for peace at almost any price.” “So I am," he answered stoutly. ‘‘be- cause peace seems to me the reasonable thing. I do not say that war is always avoidable. It seems to cgsme sometimes as earthquakes come—a natural cata- clysm. The French Revolution, I think, was such a war. But war is always regrettable. Peace is what spells progress. We have to advance step dy step. I do not think we can hope to force advancement by violence. And I believe that sometimes we shall have a court of nations, and no more wars. Was it Lowell said: ‘The telegraph gkave the world a nervous system?” As our world gets better co-ordinated by intercommunication, we shall “have i fewer of the misunderstandings which cause wars.” Constantly, as we talked, alike in his domicile and in his office, the new Sec- retary’s unpretentious pipe was in his mouth. Constantly his knees crooked and his feet curled up to comfortable positions on radiator top and desk top. Though there was always a certain dig- nity about him, we might have been two undergraduates chatting together. His attitude was not suggestive of lounging, or of affected carelessness. It was, I thought, the bodily ease which ie apt to reflect outwardly the mental states of unself-consciousness and serene self-confidence. The new Secretary of War, then, mentally, is a somewhat enigmatic person, particularly if one keeps in mind that figure of speech about 38- caliber revolvers and seacoast guns. As I have said, nature made a neat job of his body on a small scale and this tendency seems to extend be- neath his skin. His language is neat. IT do not remember that he used a single slang phrase during our sev- eral hours of talk. His thoughts seem to be all neatly arranged for instant reference and he sets them forth in neat, concise, simple words. I have said, too, that he gives the impression of attentiveness rather than alertness, of comprehensiveness rather than keenness. Persona: am- bition does not seem to have any power to prick him very sharply, and if there is a turmoil of pent force raging inside him it is well concealed. Those things on one side. On the other—that unpretentious confidence in himself and the man’s record. His experience of public affairs has not been wide—or, better, it has not been gained in a very wide field. He hasn't been called on to do work of maxi- mum importance, or handle very big affairs. But whatever he has to do he has done, shall one say, with neat- ness and dispatch. As City Solicitor of Cleveland, in the traction matters. he fought the mobilized legal big guns of Ohio to a standstill. As Ma- yor he forced the people to retain him until he had done what he set out to do. To be Secretary of War just now— to be lifted at one step from loca! into national prominence, at a critical moment like the present—is a far more searching test of his capacities than any he has yet undergone. LARNED’S HISTORY OF WORLD STRETCHES OVER 70 CENTURIES The life of mankind, stretching over 70 «6[centuries, is treated like qa great drama in Larned’s History of the World. Joseph Nelson Larned, the historian, divides it into six acts or epochs, the chapters being the scenes. Before the curtain rises on each act the chief actors are introduced in a prologue. The biog- raphies of the mighty actors whose deeds and words have made or marred the destiny of nations are fascinatingly sketched and the reader beholéds them in their true relation to world history.

SUNDAY MORNING, ‘MARCH 19, 1916. “IT Dr. Loeb’s Solution of Missouri's Tax Problems Continued From Page One. of the administrative machinery pro- vided. Property is assessed for tax- ation by an assessor elected in each county. In many cases the assessor has had no experience in methods of valuing property and thus through lack of knowledge fails to enforce the law. In most cases, however, the local assessor consciously keeps down the assessment so that hig con- stituents will not be required to pay as large a proportion of the State tax. As the State tax is so small, it would seem that this motive would not be a strong one, but experience proves the contrary. Some assessors are influenced by the knowledge of low assessments in neightoring counties and the great majority fol- low the practices and traditions of their predecessors in office. The assessor is not alone to blame. His assessment lists are passed upon by the County Board of Equalization, made up of Judges of the County Court, the County Surveyor and As- sessor. These are all locally elected officials and the subject to the same influences as the assessor. In most cases, if the assessor increase as- sessment to the true value they would be reduced by the County Board of Equalization. In no case do these board underftake to enforec the law requiring property to be assessed at its true value. Finally, the assessments in each county as equalized by the County Boards of Equalization must be passed upon by the State Board of Equalization consisting of the Governor, State Audi- tor, State Treasurer, Secretary of State and Attorney-General. This body, how- ever, has not been able to secure the en- forcement of the law requiring assess- ments to be at full value. In the first place, the members are busy with the duties of their respective offices and do not have sufficient time to devote to the difficult problem of State equaliza- tion of values. They do not have suffi- cient knowledge of the conditions affect- ing values throughout the State and are unprovided with adequate means for se- curing the necessary information. Final- ly, under a decision of the Supreme Court, the State Board of Equalization cannot increase or diminish the assess- ment of individuals or specific pieces of property, but is limited to changes in I the aggregate value of property or of classes of property within a county. The experience of many other states has shown in order to secure assess- ments at full value, it is necessary to have a State Tax Commission consist- ing of men who have special knowledge of the problems of taxation and assess- ment, and avho devote their entire time to the duties of their office. What Tax Commission Should Do, The Tax Commission should have gen- eral supervision over the administration of all laws for the assesment and col- lection of taxes, with power of com- pelling the performance of legal duty by local tax officials. It should have full powers to Investigate local assess- ments, and to make reappraisements by It should have au- thority to hold State and district meet- ings of local assessors for the purpose of instruction in methods of assess- ment The establishment in Missouri of a State Tax Commission with adequate powers would result at once in the en- forcement of the law regarding assess- ments at full value, and would thus re- lieve the critical situation created by the existing inadequacy of State rev- enues. In other states the establish- ment of state tax commissions has re- sulted in immediate relief to the state revenues. It may be urged that the as- sessment of property at full value would produce more revenue than is needed ty state and local governments. In such event the Legislature could either low- er the rates of taxation or could pro- vide for levying the taxes upon only a certain per cent of the assessed valua- tion. At present, however, no alterna- tive exists for the existing condition of inadequacy of state revenues. It was pointed out at the beginning of this discussion that in addition to ca- pacity of produce adequate revenue a system of taxation must provide an equitable basis for apportioning the bur- den of taxation. The failure of the Mis- souri system in meeting this latter re- quirement is equally as great as in the matter of producing adequate revenua., Gross inequalities exist in the assess- ment of different counties, of different classes of property in the same county, and of diferent individuals owning prop- erty of the same kind. The system of taxation {Is known as the general property tax under which all property is subject to taxation for State and local purposes. Most people assume that such a system is equitable since. a man’s property is a good basis for estimating his ability to pay taxes. This was true when the system was first introduced in Missouri early in the his- tory of the State. At that time condi- tions were quite primitive, all property was tangible, ite value was easy to de- termine and great inequalities did not arise. , System Fails Under Property Changes As the State grew in wealth and popu- lation the situation became much more complex. Property values increased, new forms of property appeared, such as stocks, bonds, etc., and the problem of assessment became increasingly dif- ficult. The local county assessors with- out training were unable to meet the new situation. Their desire to keep down the assessments of their counties increased the differences with the ulti- of uniformity in taxation was disregard- ed. Attention has been called to this de- plorable situation by successive Govern- ors and State Auditors. Two State Tax Commissions have been appointed to in- vestigate and make recommendations re- garding the tax situation in this State. The reports of both of these commis. sions as well as the testimony of other officials agree in pointing out glaring tn- equalities in the assessment of property for taxation. The following paragraphs taken from the report of the Tax Com. mission of 1908 show the situation exist- ing at that time: “Reports were received from 9% coun- Continued on Next Page. | HATS SS Values. 2:38 512 Franklin Av. a S.

This body, how- ever, has not been able to secure the en- forcement of the law requiring assess- ments to be at full value. In the first place, the members are busy with the duties of their respective offices and do not have sufficient time to devote to the difficult problem of State equaliza- tion of values. They do not have suffi- client knowledge of the conditions affect- ing values throughout the State and are unprovided with adequate means for se- curing the necessary information. Final- ly, under a decision of the Supreme Court, the State Board of Equalization cannot increase or diminish the assess- ment of individuals or specific pieces of property, but is limited to changes in ‘the aggregate value of property or of classes of property within a county. The experience of many other states has shown in order to secure assess- ments at full value, it is necessary to have a State Tax Commission consist- ing of men who have special knowledge of the problems of taxation and assess- ment, and avho devote their entire time to the duties of their office. What Tax Commission Should Do, The Tax Commission should have gen- eral supervision over the administration of all laws for the assesment and col- lection of taxes, with power of com- pelling the performance of legal duty by local tax officials. It should have full powers to Investigate local assess- ments, and to make reappraisements by its own appraisers. It should have au- fhority to hold State and district meet- ings of local assessors for the purpose of instruction in methods of assess- ment The establishment in Missouri of a State Tax Commission with adequate powers would result at once in the en- forcement of the law regarding assess- ments at full value, and would thus re- lieve the critical situation created by the existing inadequacy of State rev- enues. In’ other states the establish- ment of state tax commissions has re- sulted in immediate relief to the state revenues. It may be urged that the as- sessment of property at full value would produce more revenue than is needed ty state and local governments. In such event the Legislature could either low- er the rates of taxation or could pro- vide for levying the taxes upon only a certain per cent of the assessed valua- tion. At present, however, no alterna- tive exists for the existing condition of inadequacy of state revenues. It was pointed out at the beginning of this discussion that in addition to ca- pacity of produce adequate revenue a system of taxation must provide an equitable basis for apportioning the bur- den of taxation. The failure of the Mis- souri system in meeting this latter re- quirement is equally as great as in the matter of producing adequate revenua. Gross inequalities exist in the assess- ment of different counties, of different classes of property in the same county, and of diferent individuals owning prop- erty of the same kind. The system of taxation {s known as the general property tax under which all property is subject to taxation for State and local purposes. Most peoplo assume that such a system is equitable since a man’s property is a good basis for estimating his ability to pay taxes. This was true when the system was first introduced in Missouri early in the his- tory of the State. At that time condi- tions were quite primitive, all property was tangible, ite value was easy to de- termine and great inequalities did not arise. ‘ System Fails Under Property Changes As the State grew in wealth and popu- lation the situation became much more complex. Property values increased, new forms of property appeared, such as stocks, bonds, etc., and the problem of assessment became increasingly dif- ficult. The local county assessors with- out training were unable to meet the new situation. Their desire to keep down the assessments of their counties increased the differences with the ulti- of uniformity in taxation was disregard- ed. Attention has been called to this de- plorable situation by successive Govern- ors and State Auditors. Two State Tax Commissions have been appointed to = vestigate and make recom dation garding the tax situation in this sr The reports of both of these commis. sions as well as the testimony of other officials agree in pointing out glaring in- equalities in the assessment of property for taxation. The following paragraphs taken from the report of the Tax Com.- mission of 1%8 show the situation exist- ing at that time: “Reports were received from %8 coun- Continued on Neat Page. -_s ee ee .

Discriminations Against Cities. As the recommendations of the Tax Commission were not carried out, the situation has not improved, but has be- come worse since 1908. As a rule, prop- erty located in a city is assessed higher than that located tn rural districts. This is due to the fact that the constitution- al limitations on the rate of city taxes makes it necessary to increase the as- s-3ssments in order to secure sufficient revenue for city purposes. As the as- sessment is the same for all taxation, it results that property in cities pay taxes on a higher assessment not only for the city, but also for State, county and school purposes: The evidence makes it clear that there is great lack of uniformity in the assessment of property for taxa- tion. While the rate of taxation is the same for all property variations in the rate of assessed value to real value mean differences in the proportionate share of taxes paid. Of two persons each owning property of the actual val- ue of $1000, the one whose property is assessed at 60 per cent of its real value will pay three times as much in taxes as the one whose property is assessed on a 20 per cent basis. This illustrates the situation existing within many counties and as among the several cities and counties of the State. It leads to a highly inequitable distribution of the burden of taxation which was not con- templated by the constitution or laws of the State and offends our sense of right and justice. Most American states have had the general property tax system and have experienced similar results to those which have occurred in Missouri. Many of these states have corrected the evils of inequality of assessment by the es- tablishment of permanent state tax com- missions with general supervision Over the entire system of assessment of prop- erty for taxation. The composition and functions of a state tax commission have been discussed. Its relation to the loval assessors and its power to order re-assessment by its own appraisers would bring about uniformity of assess- ments throughout the State. It is prac- tically the only method by which equal- ity of taxation can be secured under a general property tax system. Property That Escapes Tax Burdens. Lack of uniformity in taxation under present conditions arises not only from inequality in assessments, but also from the fact that certain Kinds of property entirely escape the Assessor, and are not assessed for taxation. Land, houses, machinery, horses, cattle, merchandise, furniture, et¢., are visible. cannot be concealed and as a rule are assessed for taxes. On the other hand aotes, bonds and stocks are known as intangivle property which may be hidden or seut out of the State and thus escape assessment and taxation. This has .always been true, but in the early history of the general property tax the amount of this class of property was so small that its evasion of taxation was not of material conse- quence. Today, however, the situation is quite different as the actual value of initungible property constitutes an enor- mous aggregate, the greater part of which entirely escapes assessment. Many students of taxation believe that intangible personal property should not be subject to the general property tax. Notes, bunds and stocks are merely evidence of interests in propert; which itself is subject to taxation. Hence it is argued that the taxation of this intangible property will cquse dou- ble taxation of the sanie property. It is also claimed that the taxation of notes and bonds will cause an equiv- alent rise in the rate of interest as money will leave the State unless it can receive a return as high as in other states. But an increase in the rate of interest means that the burden of the tax falls upon the borrower though thc tax may be collected from the lender The peuple, however, have not been willing to exempt intangible property from taxation. In many states strin- gent laws have been passed for enforc- ing the taxation of such _ property. While temporarily increasing the as- sessment of intangible property the ul- timate result has been a failure in every case. It igs easy to understand this fallure. In many cases the interest on notes and bonds does not exceed 5 per cent The total tax rate for State and loca! purposes ranges from 2% to 8% per cent. A tax rate of 2% per cent upon a note or bond for $1000 which bears 5 per cent interest would amount to $25, or one- half of the income. If we assume tha: the note is assessed at only one-half uf its actual value the tax would amoun: to 25 per cent of the income from the note, which is an intolerable burden and far in excess of the burden of suct tax upon the income from other prop- erty. The owner of the note or bond will either take his property out of the State or will insist upon a higher rate of interest. Securing the Tax on Mortgages. Some states have recognized the logic of the situation by classifying property for taxation. Real estate and tangible personal property are placed in one class and intangible personal property in the other. While the former are sub- ject to the general property tax, the latter is exempt from that but subject to a special tax in lieu of all othe: ing serious financial would bring about equitable system, bonds and stocks are largely escaping taxation because enforce the existing law. much better to substitute the above method of taxation for such property as it will be effectively administered, the property will not be able to evade the tax and the revenues of the State will be increased.

A State Tax Commission will not only ac- complish this result, but will, by an en- ments, increase the general revenue of the State so that it will Be adequate for the necessary support of the depart- ments of State government and State institutions.

By GILBERT HIRSCH. A Special Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. BERLIN, Feb. 19. The question of how Germany will raise the enormous sums she will need after the war to pay the interest on her war loan, and ultimately the prin- cipal, is one of the livest issues in Ger- many today. Like the problem of what peace conditions Germany shall con- end for, it does not get much public airing. But the third loan, large as it was, will not last beyond the end of the winter. A fourth loan, perhaps 4 fifth, will have to be raised, and ulti- mately paid off. How will they be paid? Other nations may prefer shoving such unpleasant questions off into that indefinite limbo—‘‘after the war is over.” But the Germans consider it safer to cross their bridges—in imag- ination—before they come to them; and the successes which their detailed prep- arations have won them in this war have strengthened them in this national habit. Everyone agrees that, whoever loses through the Government’s necessity of raising money, one class of people will be the gainers—the Social 2emocrats. After the way they have stood by the German Government in th>s present war, they can no longer be, or pretend to be, a revolutionary party. Their tactics cannot be obstructionist. They are no longer a great conspiracy against the State. They have become one of the strongest of the many parties that compose the State. But the Govern- ment’s desire for their active co-opera- tion is likely to give them more power in the future than the Government’s fear of their opposition did in the past. New Monopolies to Pay Debdt. I put the problem of Germany’s in- come after the war to one of the lead- ers of the Social Democrats in the Reichstag, Dr. Albert Suedekum. To my surprise, the prospect of heavy ir- come and inheritance taxes did not arouse any enthusiasm on his part. Di- rect taxation, he said, could raise only 2 small part of the sum which will be needed. And too heavy a tax would defeat its own end by crippling indus- try. Germany is today, in fact, not a Socialist, but a capitalist state. The Socialists deplore this, but—they recog- nize the truth. The motive power of capitalism is not the love of service, but self-interest. To put a 50 per cent tax on incomes and inheritances would cripple that motive power. According to Suedekum the money will be raised, not to any large extent by taxation, but by profits from new monopolies taken over by the Govern- ment after the war. Practically the world’s entire supply of potash is with- in the borders of Germany, as. the planters of our own Southern States have been made to _ feel—somewha: acutely. So potash is a natural Gov- ernment monopoly. Coal, in which Ger- many is extraordinarily rich, will also be a Government monopoly, according te Suedekum, and electricity will be an- other. Naturally, I asked Dr. Suedekum how the present owners were to be compen- sated. He explained that in the case of electricity they would remain in posses- sion. The state was going to step into the shoes, not of owner or manufac- turer, but of the retailer. That ‘‘mid- dleman’s profit,’’ against which the So- cial'sts have always protested as a hold- up of the community by the individual, is, in this way, to be turned back to the community. His estimate is that a hun- drei million marks a year can come back to the people—since electricity wil! be put into every town and village at a low cost. There was a time when the German Socialists objected to all Gevernmen: monopolies, in the interests of the work- ingmen employed. They declared that the disadvantages that workmen are un- der in dealing with an employer are in- creasing tenfold when that employer is the state; and that the state could control the votes of its employes. But this, said Dr. Suedekum, was true only of Government monopolies on a smal! scale. The more extended they become the more able will the workers be, through their political organizations, to control them. Universal Suffrage in Prospect. He believes that the position of the Social Democrats will be much stronger after the war than it was before. And as evidence of this, he cites the amend: ments which have been promised in the Prussian electoral system. This system is notoriously arbitrary and undemo- cratic; the Socialists have fought it for years, but without effect. They have now received assurances that, as soon as the war is over, a system of prac- tically universal suffrage will be intro- duced. “You in America will be glad to hear of this,”’ he said. ‘For I see by your papers that you are much worried over eur backward condition. But why aren't you just as concerned over re- actionary England? Don't you know that they haven't universal suffrage there either; that there is not only a money qualification, but an “independent householder’ qualification; so that nearly One-thinrd of the male population of democratic England is kept from the ballot?’’ A man of independent income by in- heritance, Dr. Suedekum is not merely & member of the Reichstag, but an of- ficer in the German army. A man of 44, well built and well tailored, who would be remarked anywhere as a ‘“‘man vf the world,” his appearance is all the more striking because of his white hair and mustache. In 1895, after his -mili- tary service in the Alexander Grenadier Guards, he began to write for the Ber- lin bat Patcmaiae and since that time he OF ors rs cas y ‘ VN. | man universities, and got his degree of ph. D. in political economy. He has written books on “‘The Housing Prob- lem in Great Cities,"’ and on Darwin and Malthus, and has edited a ‘‘Com- munal Year Book.’’ Socialist an Army Officer. An officer’s sword hanging up in the hallway of a Social Democrat's house#, 1as if it belonged there, was a thing that, before this war, I should have be- lieved impossible. And when the verv small boy in the Socialist red apron who solemnly received me yesterday in the center of a very big hall assured me that it belonged to his father, tr raised afresh the question which I had come all the way out to the suburb cf Zehlendorf to have answered: How do the. Socialists of Germany reconcile their support of the Govern- ment in this war with their Socialist rrinciples and with their former at- tacks on militarism? It was by no means the first time D. Suedekum had heard that question. It had been shouted at him in no friendly tones by the Socialists among the al- lies, ever since the war began.

Democrats resisted the Government at the outbreak of the war. And he does not deny this. He himself enlisted as a volunteer, and took part in the hot fighting on the Lorette Heights during Joffre’s offensive of last spring. The Social Democrats of Germany have, according to Dr. Suedekum, been as loyal to their principles in tnterna- tional as in national affairs. They had expressly declared, years before the present war broke out, that they could not promise not to fight until France had broken its “bondage’ to Russia— tor, they contended, the lending of large sums of money by the French to Rus- sia amounted to that, from the Sacialist point of view. The Russians borrowed that moncy for the purpose ‘whizh they did not attempt to conceal) of building strategic railways to the German border.

Franco-Russian Pact’s Influence. “IT remember,” he said, “‘that in 1997, at the international Socialist congress al Stuttgart, Herve made a stirring speech, telling the German Socialists that if war broke out between the two countries, the German Socialists ought to refuse to fight; ought to do everything they could to cripple the country’s military organ- ization and even resort to ‘sabotage.’ We answered: ‘If you will defeat the French loans to Russia, we will agree to your proposal.’ But they did not defeat them. They did not even wage a campaign against them, The Franco-Russia alli- ance was peculiarly a capitalistic al-| hance. If the French Socialists had com- bated it, d if France and Gertieny could have come together then, as true interests dictated, the peace of Europe would have been assured. That combi- nation would have been too powerful! for any nation to attack. But with “rance an ally of Russia’’—‘‘Russia!’’ he broke off. ‘‘We don’t hear much about Russia's part in this war from your American papers. You in America don’t know what it.means to have-a nation like that at your door. No one west of the Elbe can understand Russia. The lust for power and expansion that is in that people’’—— I interrupted him and told him that in America we had learned to’ make a distinction between the Russian people whom we think well of, and the bureau cracy. His reply was that at bottom no dis- a a ee meneiet ne eee —- eee nea il a ee ny IGURES confirm what we have repeatedly told you:— That Goodyear users far outnumber the _users of any other brand of tires. Out of 353,859 tires counted .in 71 principal cities, 75,631 were Goodyear. This shows a Goodyear preference of 21 per cent—with close to 200 tire brands for buyers to choose from. What else can it mean except that “Goodyear users have found—as you ‘will find—that Goodyear Tires cost less because they go farther, and last longer, and give less trouble?

Most of that expansion, it is trué, was on the Asiatic side; but now’ she ti.ought It was her opportunity to expand west- ward. As long as France strengthened the arm of a Power like that, how could the French Socialists expect us to throw down our arms” “It would have been madness. There is no nation in the world that has been in so dangerous a position as Germany —surrounded by enemies and by other states whose friendship could never be counted on, cut off from the open sea. We Social Democrats have always been in favor of restricting armaments. But we have always recognized that in the existing state of affairs in Europe dis- armament would be suicide.”’ ‘French Would Have Betrayed U3.’ I was forced to drop the charge that the Social Democrats of Germany had gone back on their past principles. For I now remembered that Bebel himself, most prominent and uncompromising of Secial Democratic leaders, had, short- ly before his death, said that if it came to a war between Germany and Russia, he would himself, old as he was, shoul- der a gun and march out in defense of the working men of Germany. Dr. Sudekum next proceeded to accuse his accusers. The French Socialists gave us very definite proof,”’ he said, ‘‘that if we had relied on their loyalty to the interna- tional proletariat, we would have been betrayed. On the day that the first war appropriation was passed by the Reichstag, the French papers had §it that the German Social Democratic. par- ty had come out solidly against it; that Liebknecht and a number of others had been shot and most of the rest of us putin prison. As you know, not a word of all that was true. But the French Socialists believed it. And believing it, they nevertheless lined up solidly be- hind their Government in making war on us.” But Dr. Sudekum’s heaviest charge against his French “comrades” is that they have permitted the murder of their leader, Jean Juares, to go, not mere- ly unavenged, but uninvestigated. Of the French Socialist leaders, Juares was the one who was most strongly in favor of preserving friendly relations with Germany, and who had won so solid a position, not only in- side his own party, but among all members of the French Chamber of Deputies. His opposition to France taking sides with Russia in a war against Germany would have been very powerful. And the fact that his as- sassination by a fanatieal young French Nationalist took place in one of those tense days at the end of July, 1914, when the fate of Europe hung in the balance, left no doubt in Suede- kum’s mind, at any rate, that the assassination was \a political rather than merely a criminal act. Dr. Suedekum was a personal friend of the murdered mam, and admired him sreatly as a statesman ard an orator. The ability to make good sp2eches is supposed to be not uncommon among Socialists. Yet at the Stuttgart Con- gress, where Suedekum, as chairman, was called on to translate each speech that was made into other languages, he was 80 carried away by Jaures’ elo- quence that, when the speech was at an end, he quite forgot that it had not been in his own language, and proceeded, much to the amusement of the gather- ing, to “translate” it into French. ‘“‘And to think,” he said, ‘‘that the French Socialists have not made ..e slightest effort to bring his murderer to justice! It is easy to understand that the French Govet®@ment should want his trial postponed until after the war, since the French Government con- sists of 300 bankers and lawyers whose money is in the war. But that the S8o- cialists themselves should expressly con- sent to this—as they have done! Do you suppose for a moment that a thing like that could happen in Germany if one of our leaders were murdered? Every So- cialist, no matter huw opposed to the murderd man on matters of party policy, would have insisted on bringing the az- Wi) a case which German soldiers had for months using as an improvised bench, until someoye who had been sit- ting on them happened to open them, and of the importance which had been attached to them as bearing on the ori- gin of the war, and tending to justify Germany out of the mouth of her pres- ent enemy. He said that he had him- seif looked these papers over in Brus- sels and that he was convinced that they alone were enough to show that this war it. for Germany a defensive war— even as far as Belgium is concerned. “Every one knows by this time,” he said, “that, in the hope of becoming ing of France, the King 07 Be'giur: had, long before the war, entered into an agreement against Germany with France and England." . I asked how Germany could possiblv cal! it a defensive war when the inicial ageression was not against Germany, but togk place in.une of the most distant vrovinces of Austria. “If the Japanese were to Seize a etrip of land along the California coast, vould not the whole I'nited Statice rise up to defend it? Would New York say, ‘What business is California of mince?’ It woul t be recognized at once that Japan was simply getting a fdothold for further conquest, Well, tue same was true here. If Austria were cr ished, Germany would not survive her very long. The aggres- sion of Servia against Austria was really an aggression of Russia against Ger- many.”’ Dr. Suedekum knows America very well, having traveled extensively—-and intensively—in America four years ago. There were times in talking to him—he speaks excellent English—wten the sense of being with a man whose af- filiations and doctrine are international would make me forget that I was with | a German officer. He reminded me of it by suddenly remarking, very quietly, but with the same.accusing gleam in his eye that I had seen elsewhere on other occasions: “You know, it is very pleasant to have American ammunition exploding in your immediate neighborhood!’ “Is it any worse," I asked, “than any other ammunition?” “In the beginning it was not so bad.’ been The American ammunition was not as good as the French at the very first. But it soon improved. And now it is ex- cellent—excellent. All the diers can testify to that.’ In spite of his somewhat grim feeling on the subject, he does not agree with so many of bis countrymen that, “but for American ammunition, the war would now be over.”” He believes that it is the ignorance of the French and par- ticularly of the English as to the true course of events which prevents an im- mediate peace. “They do. not understand Germany,” he said, “they are ignorant of the true state of affairs here. If they know con- ditions here as I do, they would give up, German so!- one for all, the idea that Germany can be crushed.”’ (Copyright. 1916. by New York Evening Post Co.)

Parents Should Know of this Splendid Remedy Simple Laxative Compound Helps to Correct Consti- pation in Children. With all children there are times when the bowels fail to act naturally and it becomes necessary for the par- ents to administer a remedy. Ca- thar‘ics and purgatives should never be used, as these agents afford only temporary relief, while their violent action shocks the entire system un- duly. Mrs. Eva F. Gaff, 517 10th &x., Washington, D. C., says that her Ilit- -hv girl. Marie, had been subject to constipation, and that she found Dr. Caldwel:’s Syrup Pepsin the best remedy, becau.‘e of its mildness, and now always keeps a bottle of it in the house. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a compound of simple laxative herbs, free fron. oplates or narcotic diuss of any. kind, and is an ideal remedy for children because of its mild ac- tion and positive effect. Its use tends to strengthen the impaired vowel action and restore normal reg- ularity. It. is important that parents should know of a dependable remedy with mo unpleasant after effects, griping | anaes 7 a ee _— a a or strain.

Unemplvyment and similar problems which come up in the occupied districts of Belgium are under the jurisdiction of the Red Cross. So it happened that some of the most important work in the solution of these problems for Germany has been done by an American-born children’s physician, Dr. Charles Noeggerrath of Freiburg. Dr. Suedekum was, for a time, trans- ferred from the regular army to the Red Cross, in order to help and advise him in his work. “The trouble in dealing with the un- employed problem is always that it is hard to tell whether a man can’t work, or whether he won't work.

Ask for complete list. The “tramp spirit,"” aroused. in the European nations by the war, will be a big factor in providing the United Siates with new citizens after peace is declared, Frederick C. Howe thinks. Howe, who is United States Commis- sioner of Immigration at EJjlis Island, was in St. Louis Wednesday, speaking before the Business Men’s League and the Civic League. . , Talking with a Post-Dispatch reporter before his address to the business men, Howe spoke of the conditions and ten- dencies which will stimulate immigra- tion after the war, and the counter- tendencies which will hold men in Eu- rcpe, and may even “suck back’? men from the United States to European countries. The chief element of uncer- tainty in the situation is the question whether European Governments will permit emigration. Howe's conclusion was that, in any case, the labor supply of the United States is likely to be even more 8e- rlously disturbed than it has thus far been, and that American cities will have to give more attention to the welfare and comfort of their working classes, in order to hold their own in the competi- tion for men.

The ruling powers cannot make thu mind of Europe what it was before the war. ‘‘A tramp spirit will have been created and of these 30,000,000 men, hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, will rest- lessiy look toward America. **Beside those actually participating in the war, 400,000,000 persons have been dis- organized, their life upset, their prop- erty in wide regions destroyed. The same disturbing influences will affect them, and will drive many of them to seck new homes. ‘Taxation will be another of the forces d-‘ving men out of Europe. The war det* of the first year was $20,000,000,000, in the second year it will probably be increased to $35,000,000,000, and at the end of the war taxation in all the warring countries will be almost unbearable. For every able-bodied man it will mean two days’ work out of every six.

But the great number who regular Sizes 1 te 5%. _ rug will have relatives in this country, promising to look after them, will get in, and the sons and daughters of Euro- pean soldiers will become, in a few years, a part of our industrial popula- tion. s “But it is possible that the free flow of immigration will be checked by re- strictions, imposed not by wus, but by the nations now at war. Those na- tions will realize, after the war, that their most valuable assets are human beings. Because of the millions killed and the colossal reconstruction work t» be done, there will probably be a labor vacuum in Europe. Problems for Nations. “Germany, Great Britain and France. which are the most highly organized industrial countries, will- have especial reason for keeping their men, to he!p them rebuild their industries and re- gain their trade. “The warring countries have been so- clalized by the war, and this will be a further force in keeping their men at home. These nations have taken over their railroads, their plants for the manufacture of munitions, their agen- cites for control of the food supply, and all the primary industries of the state. This is particularly true in Germeny, where state socialization was far ad- vanced before the war. “Wages in European countries are bound to be high after the war. Re- gardiess of any action that Goverr- mente may take, wages will go up when there are fewer men than jobs. After the Black Plague in England, criminal statutes were enacted, providing that workmen should be punished if they demanded more pay than they had for- merly received. But in spite of these laws, wages shot up. Wages TAkely to Rise. “If there isla shortage of labor after the war, as there seems certain to »e«. wages will rise in Europe, and the workers of Germany and England may find themselves drawing Wages as high az those paid in the United States. "These wage increases will cause men to remain tn Europe who would other- wise come here. But the Europeaa nations may not be contest with keep- ing the men they have. They may try te draw back their former citizens froir America. “T have been informed, from a source which I believe to be reliable, tha‘ definite plans are under way, in the central European countries, to attract Jable-bodied men from the United States, ~ SHR RSA er ne eee ALL BRANDS OF SEWING MACHINES, 75c A Mee i a tet aed ete att at tat tt Stata tata ttt tts SEEN ON OAR RNa mrs at eae + ~gtce me Men’s “Comfort” Shoes LACE OR CONGRESS Genuine vici kid or calfskin sewer ..°3.00 sewed. °2.50 sewer’ ..°2.00 -inch in arden or $2.87 - r eae length, with couplings. $C - Mes -~ a3 $1.15 Lace Curtain Stretch- er, With center Drace; very Vacuum combination kind, sweeper attached; is a DATMAIN..ceceeees | : | Tron Beds.

Mas FRENCH PREPARING FOR BIG TOURIST RUSH AFTER WAR Hotel Keepers Expect 1,000,000 Americans to Visit Country to See Scene of Battles. Correspondence of the Associated Press PARIS, March 6.—A “Committee of French Hotel-Keepers” that has re- cently come into existence estimates that a million Americans will come to France immediately after the war to visit the sites which have become famous during the hostilities. ms. sorts of suggestions are being put forward. One is that a broad highway should be laid along the front from Dixmude to Belfort, to be: ealled “The Holy Road,” with plenty of good roads at intervals, simply furnished, but each containing from 80 to 100 rooms and an abundant sup- ply of baths. Another suggestion is the formation of special tourist trains running from the Channel to Belfort, in which the tourists should live and sleep while sight-seeing. Meantime the Committee of Hotel- keepers is busy preparing for the ad- vent of the visitors by training staffs to replace the German and Austrian managers and waiters of the pre-war period, renewing furniture, repaint- ing and repapering, and in particular improving the sanitary arrangements in the various hotels. A writer in La Renaissance, Louis Forest, thinks France ought to de- vote her efforts to attracting tour- ists instead of organizing with a view to increasing her export trade. “Why,” he asks, “send our products to the foreigner when we can bring the foreigner to our products’ Let ug then ‘‘export inland’’—let us at- tract the foreigner and put him in the way of seeking and testing our native wares.” This writer, by the way, warns his fellow countrymen that neutral speculators are already buying up French hotels in large numbers The renovation of the French hotel system, in view of tourist traffic, will require a great deal of capital. This, says Forest, must be supplied by America, which has such darge finan- cial interests in France that sne is substantially concerned in French prosperity. MANY INVENTIONS OFFERED TO FRANCE, FEW ACCEPTED Fewer Than One in Thirty, Designed for Nation's Soldiers, Prove to Be of t'----°’ al Value. PARIS, March 18.—The War Inven- tions Committee, between August, 1914, and November, 1915, examined $663 inventions concerning national defense and accepted only 317. The number of inventions in ordinary times varied. from 800 to 1200 annu- ally. One hundred and thirty-two of those accepted were either itncom- plete or were merely an adaptation of existing devicts to military pur- poses. The remaining 185, however, were of real use for national defense purposes. Five thousand three hun- dred more inventions were submitted between November, 1915, and March, 1916. Of these, 300 are still being studied and of the 6000 others 70 have been sent to the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Marine, with favorable indorsement of the com- mittee, and 12 are being perfected. The committee has received a number of valuable studies on the subject of employment of guns against aeroplanes and dirigibles. A total of 225 original inventions have been adopted to cover all branches of warfare, including those having to do with hygiene and the comfort of the soldier and with war surgery, as well as with methods of offense and defense, ee More Than 6000 Want Ad Offers Of work, services, sale, purchase, busi- ' mess chances, house and home VaAcan- cles and realty Investments are printed in today’s BIG REAL ESTATE AND WANT DIRECTORY.

Macready Noted as 7s Wit, Credited With Jest on Kitchener’s Army. LONDON, March 18.—Sir CC. F. WN. Macready, who has been appointed Ad- jutant-Genera! of the British army. js @ descendant of the famous actor Mac- ready. He has the carriage of tho Scotch soldier. In the Gordon High- landers he obtained his regimental ex- perience. Gen. Macready has been brought back from the front to assist in the reorgani- sation of British army control which is being put into effect by Sir William Robertson, the new Chief of Staff. He was well known to the British public before the war as the soldier to whom was entrusted the difficult task of con- trolling the big labor outbreaks in Liv- erpool and Manchester. He has a reputation as a wit, and was credited with a widely circulated jest some months ago, when there was a good deal of talk in army circles about the delay in the appearance of Kitch- ener’s so-called new army at the front. According to the story, Macready one evening while at dinner at British head- quarters at St. Omer put the question: “Which of the great neutral Powers do you think will join in first—Italy or Kitchener's army?" - — Hill for Law Against Threats WASHINGTON, March 18—Upon ree- ommendation of the Attorney-General, Senator Culberson of Texas today intro- cveced a bill to provide for Federa! prose- eution of persons who make threats against the life of the President of the {. » United States or any official in line of to the presidency. 150 Divorces on Desertion. PITTSFIELD, Il, March 18.—Dur- ing the past 10 years there have been 284 divorces granted in the Pike County Circuit Court, more than 150 of them on the charge of desertign. One Need in Tuberculosis is careful attention to bygienic living and proper diet. Science is agreed that fresh air, rest and avoidance of food excesses constitute the most ef- fective non-medical tieatment in this widespread disease. Often, however, these measures need supplementing by proper medica- tion. The system lacks sufficient re- sistance to overcome the attack, and something must be done to assist in upbuilding the patiert’s strength. In many cases of this sort Eckman’s Alterative has been used with marked success. Its efficacy in this disease has borne fruit in 4 record of numer- ous apparent recoveriee, and where 2 tonic is indicated it has produced most beneficial results Since it contains no opiates, nar- cotics or habit-forming drugs, it is safe to try.

LONDON, March 18.—Londoners are getting their daily news in more con- densed form than ever before in history. The change was made necessary by the regulations governing the importation of paper, @ measure of economy brought on by the war. The public was prepared for the change through the papers, which for weeks in advance published notices call- ing upon their readers to order their paper each day in advance of their news dealer. In other words, only enough papers to meet the known demand would be run off the presses. Papers which formerly were 12 pages in size have been cut down to six. An early ef- fort has been made also to tell the articles in fewer words, after the style of American papers.

STEWART JR., President Stewart Automobile School. The carburctor is unquestionably the most sensitive part of the automobile. ‘Upon it depends the right mixture of "gases to be used in the cylinder. Slight adjustments determine the efficiency of the motor. | As a liquid gasoline burns rapidly but will not explode. A smal! quantity of gasoline, however, mixed with a proper : famount of air, forms a very explosive mixture. Especially is this true when the gases are compressed. We are all familiar with liquid gaso- line, which is carrie in a tank on the automobile. In order to convert this liquid into useful power it must be let into the cylinder in the form of an ex- = plosive gas, hence the necessity for a transformer such as the carburetor Tt is true there are many makes and types of carburetors, but all are de- signed to accomplish one purpose, name- ly, to mix gasoline and air in right pro- portions to form an explosive mixture at all engine speeds. In stationary types of motors, where the engine speed is more or less constant, it is not a diffi- cuit matter to effect carburetion. In the automobile type motor the variation of igine speeds is such that the carburetor must be well designed to insure efficient @nd economical carburetion under al! Conditions. This type motor must pull at Speeds ranging from 200 to 300 r. p. m. Even when the throttle is partially Opened a perfect mixture is required. Referring to the drawing, let us be- Come familiar with the names of the parts of a simple type carburetor in or- der to understand how the liquid gaso- line is converted into an explosive mix- ture. In the first place, the supply tank must be suspended at a higher level than the carburetor so that gaso- line will flow to it, even when the car is om up grade. If the supply tank jis car- Tied at a lower level then air pressure vacuum system must be employed to oree the gasoline to the carburetor un- all road conditions. Gasoline pipe A leads from supp'y tank to float chamber D. This chamber, with its float, and float valve B, auto- Matically supply gasoline required at pray nozzle N. Gasoline will continue 10 flow from the supply tank into the Tioat chamber until it reaches the level R, at which point the float valve au- sage closes. This is accomplished through the float counter balance E and yoke G, which pivot at point F. As the Asoline flows into float chamber the t rises, lifting the counterbalance arms, which in turn lower the float Ive B. The function of this float and ve mechanism is to maintain at the | y nozzle a constant level of fuel. One may readily understand that as pon as the motor stops running the upply of gasoline must be stopped, and | is automatically accomplished by the float mechanism at the desired lev- el; otherwise an overflow would take at the spray nozzle and the gaso- be wasted while the car is standing. c may also appreciate the necessity for using clean gasoline. Any small particle of foreign matter lodging at bint B would unseat the valve and per- Mit gasoline to overflow at point N. Likewise when this valve becomes worn fs necessary to reseat it by tapping slightly or perhaps by replacement. Lost n on due to wear also takes piace in t © float counterbalances, thereby ef- a change in level of the gasoline this spray nozzle. Slight changes of t kind quite often determine the ef- siciency of a motor. The float, whether of metal or cork, must at all times be ant. A slight leak in the metal ’ iat will prevent its proper action and ve t the whole carburetor system. This vey ss however, is not a difficult matter } solder. The cork type float must be le and shellacked in a -manner to Store its buoyancy. Usually it is more : nical and satisfactory to install new one. At needie vaive O is another adjust- nt regulating the amount of gasoline r ing through the spray nozzle. At , ’ is the Primary air inlet and at H s the auxiliary air inlet. 8 represenis mixing chamber where liquid gaso- ine is mixed with air and converted “to an explosive gas.

S— Mixing opening of this valve depending upon the adjustment and tension of the spring. From the foregoing one can under- stand the necessity of using clean gaso- line and of keeping the carburetor clean. Any small obstruction in the gas pas- sages, especially at the spray nozzle, will stop the motor. This opening is as smali or smaller than a pinhead. A small particle of lint lodging at this point wiil stall (-horsepower motor. In some cases this opening is not large enough to permit a drop of water to pass, hence the necessity for keeping water out of the gasoline.

Usually there is a drain at the base of the float chamber which permits withdrawal of any water or sediment. If the car has been standing for some time it is advisable occasionally to open this drain for a few seconds. Almost every operator has experience. watcr or other foreign matter in the gasoline. The first symptoms are back firing, indicat- ing a lean mixtures, which is to say, too much air and not enough gasoline. Quite often by accelerating motor the obstruction may be drawn through the nozzle. More often, however, it is nec- essary to use the drain or even dis- semble for cleaning. the tank or at the bottom of the float, (Copyright by William H.

It is expected that these automo- biles will be shipped in a trainload lot from the Chalmers factory, and rerouted from St. Louis to the re- spective dealers. SHIP TRAIN OF TRUCKS IN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS Word has come to the local branch of the White company of Cleveland of a remarkable delivery of trucks for use by the United States army, just made by the White Co. A long-distance mes- sage was received March 16 from the War Department. Within twenty-four hours thereafter a trainload of army escort trucks was loaded and on its way to the Mexican border. The train car- ried 28 trucks, which will compose the first motor truck company of the Amer- ican army. At the same time 34 expert men employed in the factory, who vol- unteered for the Mexican situation, were sent by “special train to the Mexican border to man the trucks as soon as they are unloaded. The bodies for the trucks were shipped almost at the same time from the Quartermaster’s depot at Jeffersonville, Ind.

Mr. Bishop was en route from De- troit to the Southwest; Mr. Bradfield was en route to Detroit from the Southeast, and Mr. Adamson came to St. Louis for the purpose of estab- lishing offices with Mr. Johnson. Stanley McCloskey, from the King Motor Car Co.’s service department, will also take up headquarters in St. Louis at the Johnson Automobile Co. and travel Mr. Adamson’s territory from this point. Mr. Johnson is particularly well pleased with the plans outlined by Mr. Bishop. While the King has en- joved business in this territory it has not been up to the standard that the company would like to secure. In- creased factory production facilities and a larger allotment of cars for this territory enables Mr. Bishop to now make plans that will give the King an opportunity of increasing its already established prestige in this territory. Along with the lines outlined by the King factory for the exploitation of the world’s leading popular priced eight-cylinder motor car, Mr. John- son also has made plans which insure the future of this car in the St. Louis ‘field. He has surrounded himself with a highly efficient sales force for his | @helesalc and retail business. His factory arrangements are of such a nature that he is brought in closer touch with the manufacturing organ- ization than any representative who has had the King in this territory be- fore. While Mr, Johnson has a wide latitude, it is explained that Mr. Ad- amson’s presence almost continually with headquarters here in St. Louis will argue well for King customers. “We are particularly well pleased with the Johnson Automobile Co. as our St. Louis connection,” Mr. Bishop declared Saturday. “It may bea surprise for the public to know that we have been figuring with Mr. John- son for the King line for over one year. His business standing, however, did not permit us with the facilities we had to give him a contract that would enable him to represent the King as we would like to have him do and as he wanted to do. However, we have now increased our manufac- turing facilities and also our produc- tion. We are in a position today to enter the St. Louls market in the right way and we will back Mr. John- son up so that the King will be as big a factor here as it is in Chi- cago, Minneapolis, Dallas or other big distributing points. “The eight-cylinder King is today the leader of {ts class. This is proven by the representation we have throughout the country. In fact, we have come to a position where we do not have to solicit representation, the car brings applications itself. “The King, besides being the sec- ond eight-cylinder car to enter the American market, holding leadership in its class today, is the lightest sev- en-passenger automobile manufac- tured except one. “It has more body length and ‘ress car length than is possible on any other car, except a four-cyl- inder of equa) cylinder dimensions— and such a motor would not pull such a car. It has the most accessible mo- tor built, except really simple fours. It develops more horsepower per pound of car weight than any motor car built in this country. The King is the easiest riding car built in this country. It has the best legroom in the driver's compartment in any sev- en passenger car, except one, and that car has a wheelbase of 142 inches, These are all exceptional statements, but Mr. Johnson can easily prove them. “Our Mr. Adamson will be in con- tinual touch with the situation in St. ‘Louis in so far as sales are concerned, while Mr. McCloskey, a service man in whom we have implicit faith, will be ready to render efficient factory service right here in St. uis.” GRANT REORGANIZATION Grant Motor Co. of Findlay, Ohi», manufacturers of the Grant Six, has been reorganized and its entire prop- erty and assets taken over by Grant Motor Car Corporation, with a capital:- zation of $4,000,000. The new company absorbs ali the rights and liabilities of the old company. REACH 100,000 MARK Willys-Overland officials wire@ John North Willys, president of that com- pany, who is en route to California, that on Monday the factory passed the huridred-thousandth car of the 1916 mod- els. This big record of a tenth of a mil- lion cars stands without a precedent in the manufacture of cars of this size end type. It was only in 1908 that Mr. Willys, as head of the Willys-Overland Co., cele- brated the production of 400 cars a year as the conclusien ef a successful year’s| dusiness.

Vesper,‘ president of the Vesper-Buick Auto Co., spent a por- tion of last week in Dallas, Tex.. and while there was guest and one of the speakers of the Dallas Automobile Club at their monthly dinner, and also ap- peared before the monthly meeting of | the executive committee of the Cham-| ber of Commerce and Manufacturers’ Association, and addressed them on the automobile trade situation. In early years of the automobile in- dustry, Mr. Vesper was stationed In Dallas as the southwestern Buick rep- resentative, and renewed acquaintances while making a combination business and pleasure trip. eet nen PE OO EN er To look one’s best and fee] one’s best is to enjoy an inside bath each morning to flush from the system the previous day’s waste, sour fermenta- tions and poisonous toxins before it is absorbed into the blood. - Just as eoal, when it burns, leaves behind a eertain amount of incombustible ma- terial in the form of ashes, so the fvod and drink taken each day leave in the alimentary organs a certain amount of indigestible material, which :f not eliminated, form toxins and poisons which are then sucked into the bicod through the very ducts which are in- tended to suck in only nourishment to sustain the body. If you want to see the glow of healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, yo: are told to drink every morning upon arising, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestong phosphate in it, which is a harmless means of wash- ing the waste material and toxins]. from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening an: purifying the entire alimentary g an results.-_Advertisement. Hot Water Each Morning Puts Roses in On OO 4 “otatal Your Cheeks before putting more food into the stomach. Girls and women with sallow skins, ‘iver spots, pimples or pallid complex- ion, also those who wake up with a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, others, who are bothered with head- aches, bilious spells, acid stomach or constipation should begin this phos- phated hot water drinking and are assured of very pronounced results in one or two weeks. A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs very little at the drug store but is sufficient to strate that just as soap and hot water cleauses, ‘purifies and freshens the skin on the outside, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the in side organs. We must always con- sider that internal sanitation is vast- ly more important than outside elean- liness, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do. Women who desire to enhance the beauty of their complexion should just try this for a week and notice demon-: WILL BUILD HEAVY TRACTORS IN ST. LOUIS The Robinson lire Apparatus Co. of St. Touis announces that it will begin at once the manufacture of a heavy duty tractor in addition to the building of fire apparatus of the motor-driven kind. The tractors will be built also for army transportation use. Heavy duty trucks will also be built. .Henry F. Vogel, former vice president und general manager of the St. Louis Car Co., will be in charge of this department, to be known as department C., trucks and tractors. Vogel extended the foreign and army business of the St. Louis Car Co., during the World's Fair period, and in 1900 for Europe and South Africa. Prompt and immediate deliveries will be made. GOOD ROADS; GOODRICH ‘American motorists will reap an immense benefit from approkimately £95) 000,000 expended last year on high- way construction,’’ said Manager Dold of the B. F. Goodrich Co. “The big national highways of which we have been reading so much are, in my opin- ion, only the forerunners of a network of good roads that will have a tremen- dous effect on increased motor and tire sales. Automobile owners should not overlook the important part played by the Goodrich Touring Bureau in pro- moting more and better highway buiid- ing. Tire owners will realize a tic- mendous amount of additional mileage rer casing this season due to good roads While this big saving will come to the tire owners individually—tire sales will increase materially, nevertheless, on account of the new fields opened up and the increased sale of automobiles. EXPLORER BUYS - CAR The Model 83B Overland automobile received another very gratifying mark of indorsement several days ago when Capt. Louis L. Lane, the man who found Vilhijalmar Stefanson, the Arctic ex- plorer, last summer, purchased an Ovcr land car of that type, after a thorough investigation of its merits. Stefanson had been given up for lost, when Lane, heading a searching party ir a Government vessel, discovered him quartered on Banks’ Land, and was the first to bring back news of the explor- ér’s discoveries.

Don’t put the matter off one day longer than is absolutely necessary if you would avoid disappointment later on. ‘Already the factory is flooded with orders for this wonderfully popular model. Despite the fact that our manufacturing facilities have been tripled, we are facing an immediate shortage of Fairfields, and the spring retail season is only a few weeks off. Just stop for a minute and consider the signifi- cance of the statement when we tell you that, so far in 1916, we have marketed more seven passenger cars than any other manufacturer in our price class. ‘Also, ponder over the fact that this month we shall ship approximately 25 solid train loads of the Fairfield model exclusively. Last year, you will remember, there was a long Paige “waiting list.” Hundreds of people delayed their purchases until the last minute—and were then compelled to accept sixty and ninety days delivery—or compromise on a “second best.” So, be fair to yourself. Protect your own good in- terests. Go to the Paige dealer—place a cash deposit in his hands—and make sure that you will receive the car of your choice. It is by no means our purpose to “stampede” motor car buyers into early or ill-advised pur- chases, but we know that a shortage is com- ing and offer this information in a sincerely, helpful spirit. And now let us say a word about the car itself. First and foremost, we want to remind you that the Paige Fairfield “Six-46” is a tried and proven success. When you buy a Paige “Six-46” today, you are buying a car that has passed the experimental stage. You are buying a car of known quality—known ability. In a word, the “Six-46” is an eminently safe auto- mobile investment. It is a good car—not merely because we say so— but. because its owners have conclusively established this goodness in the gruelling ~— tests of more than a year’s actual road work, Here, then, is one substantial reason for the over- whelming demand which the “Six-46” enjoys. And there is another—a basic reason which has made this record possible. Time and time again, we have stated our policy of scrupulously avoiding any expression in Paige advertising which might savor of ex- aggeration or misrepresentation. We make an honest product and we propose to sell it in an honest way. But, facts are facts, and we boldly and fearlessly claim that the Paige Fairfield “Six-46” repre- sents more actual dollar-for-dollar value than any other motor car on the market. If this appears to be a broad statement we invite you to check us up by inspecting the car, riding in it, and conducting any comparative investigation which you may care to make. Understand, we do not claim to make the only good motor car, nor do we ask you to believe that our Fairfield is the best American make, But we do most emphatically insist that the “Six- 46” offers a greater value for its price—$1295 —than any other automobile produced in this country or abroad. Furthermore, you will heartily agree with us if you will permit the Paige Dealer to give you one thorough demonstration—just one. But, please don’t forget—you must act quickly, Get your order in now—before it is too late. rder Now If . o » SE TL LL NT NN ne - > = tin - ” — = . - - ~ — . ——_—-* _—— ~ = _ 7 - - * ae Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company, Detroit, Michigan FRYE MOTOR CAR COMPANY 3333 Locust St. -~, > onl Se = + 4 HI TINIO IAA ATT j Ee a IUATOOVOLAHOCAAAATOTAGHAAUAUGODAATEUGUNUAUUAAUUUOU AD AAAS UEH TAG ' ee ee Pree E000 108008 83ET 789 9OONES ov0 0 000971 091 UNG CA) Gaulle! {SHG 2 3 SRR 3 5 BR Fairfield “Six-46" $1295 Fleetwood ‘‘Six-38”’ $1050 f. 0. b.

DUTCH SHIP TORPEDOED Large Vessel Sunk at Mouth of Thames, Crew and Two Pas- sengers Being Saved. ®pecial Cable to the Post-Dispatch and the New York World. (Copyright, 1916, by Press Pub. Co.) PARIS, March 18.—Although confi- gient the moment of the greatest dan- @er in the defense of Verdun has passed, the French high command is keeping everything in readiness to repel yet another formidable on- slaught by the army of the Crown Prince. There yet has been no evi- dence that German Generals have @bandoneg their stupendous effort for the capture of the Meuse fort- Tess, and the French staff steadfast- ly refuses to place undue importance upon the numerous checks suffered by the enemy recently, such as the breakdown of five successive attacks On Fort Vaux Thursday night. Continuous activity on both ralil- roads behind the German lines has been a source of gratification for the French long-distance gunners and bombing aeroplanes. For _ instance, this afternoon's communique mentions the shelling of the Apremont-Vigne- ulles road along which the German troops were marching northward to- ward the Verdun sector, and aerial Attacks against the railroad stations at Conflans and Metz, both of which are centers of distribution for rein- forcements of men and munitions headed Verdunward. The Germans doubtless are aware that the two positions they must now seek to Capture are the strongest in the whole system of the defenses of Verdun—Fort Vaux and the height of L.’ Homme Mort. While either of these strongholds, one east and the other west of the Meuse, remain in fFrenecl hands, Verdun is safe. While a considerable percentage of the German heavy guns must have become Gisabled through sheer wear and tear during the interminable bombardment which has raged uninterruptedly for a whole month, beginning [Feb. 19, signs are not wanting to demonstrate that fully 3000 pieces still are pouring a tor- rent of shells on both banks of the Meuse. Staff officers have expressed the opinion that more than 15,000,000 shells of all calibers have fallen in that period in the 40-mile crescent from Ma- lincourt to Fresnes. Tonight's statement from the War Of- ice says: “West of the Meuse the enemy pom- barded quite violently the region of Bois Bourrus and Montzeville. On the right bank, after intense artillery prepara- tion, the enemy delivered in the course ef the day a series of partial attacks be- tween the village of Vaux anu the wood gouth of Haudromont farin. Arrested by our curtain of fire, he was not able te reach our trenches at any point. “Our batteries were very active along the whole front, particularly in the Woevre, where our fire caused the ex- plosion of a munitions depot in the Mo- ranville wood. “In Lorraine the Germans attacked our positions in the region of Thiaville. Some enemy detachment which had suc- ceeded in penetrating our advanced trench were immediately driven out by @ counter attack.’’ DUTCH STEAMER TORPEDOED; ALL OF CREW SAVED Nine Men Are Wounded When 6000-Ton Vessel Is Sunk in Estuary of Thames. LONDON, March 18.—The Dutch steamer Palembang of 6674 tons gross was torpedoed at 10:30 this -morning near Galloper light in the Thames estu.atry. All the members of the crew were saved. The Palembang was bound from Rotterdam for Java. A dispatch to Lioyd's Weekly News from Harwich says that the 6 members of the crew of the Palembang and tw. Dutch men who were passengers were landed there. Nine members of the crew were injured by the explosion. No lives were lost. Although the ship re- mained afloat only seven minutes, tho injured men were placed in boats with the remainder of the crew. The passengers and several members of the crew declare the submarine fired three torpedoes. Twenty members of the crew later reached the Sailors’ Home in the East- ern district of London. One of them, in a statement, said nobody could say with certainty whether the vessel had been torpedoed or had struck a mine. No- body. he said, saw a submarine or even a periscope. The weather was fine and very clear. The Palembang was steam- ing along fairly rapidly when the slight explosion, quickly followed by two ef greater intensity, occurred. The vessel listed immediately and sank headfore- most. Turks Offering Little Resistance to Onward Sweep of Russians.

The statistician gives the record of 8h families, 31 of these living in the work- ingmen’s section of Berlin, embracing 310 persons.

Funston ean railways for troop transportation was forwarded late todav to Consular Agent Rogers for vresentation to Gen. Carranza at Queretaro. Officials here closely associated with the de facto Government are understood to believe that Carranza will be strong- ly advised by many of his followers against granting the request on ground that to do so might arouse public sen- timent against the de facto Government, seriously affecting the control it has es- tablished over the native population. A development which was regarded in Mexican quarters here as likely do much toward assuring continued co- operation between the members of the de facto Government and the American troops was an announcement the War Department that the orders under which the expedition entered Mexico did not authorize occupation of any Mexican cities. It was said the pur- poses of the expedition did not necessi- tate any such occupations which bor- cer dispatches have indicated might be misunderstood by the Mexican public. The State Department's advices from below the border which included a dis- patch saying conditions were improving about Tampico, were laid before Presi- dent Wilson personally tonight by acting Secretary Polk. Polk also conferred late in the day with Eliseo Arredondo, Gen- Carranza’s Ambassador-designate, but neither official would discuss the sub- ject of their talk, except to say that reference had been made to shipment of munitions which the de facto gov- ernment is anxious to get to: Vera Cruz from New York, One dispatch from Gen, Funston to- night said Gen. Pershing had reported finding a supply of corn, alfalfa and beef at an unnamed pojnt in Mexico. Whether the provisions had been left by fleeing Villa trogps or were purchased or requisitioned By the American com- mander was not stated. ——— Only One Mexican Railroad in Shape to Serve Troops.

B. Little to Justice Court. for “tiled Two suits music played to recover payment at weddings were against St. Louisans last week. While it is a recognized principle of jaw and ethics that he who dances must pay the piper, the issue is not so clear- ly defined as to the organist or the fiddler who plays the Mendelssohn or Lohengrin wedding march to the ac- companiment of which the blushing bride and the scared bridegroom march down the aisle together. Mrs. P. B. Little of the Belle- vue Apartments, 14 North King’s high- way, was sued Friday in Justice Gaz- zolo’s court by Noel Poepping, an or- chestra leader, for $20 for music fur- nished by his orchestra early in De- cember, 1912, at the wedding of Mrs. Little’s daughter, Josephine. to Louis Henry Ingraham of New York. Mrs. Little, when asked about the suit yesterday, refused to discuss it fur- ther than to say that the matter had been adjusted. Poepping said he would not talk of the suit and that he regretted that it was necessary to file it. Charles Galloway of 3459 Halliday ave- nue, an organist. sued in Justice George Wellman’s court for $50 for playing wedding music June 5, last, at the mar- riage of Richard FE, Hinrichs, formerly associated with Henri Chouteau in the brokerage business, and Miss Marjorie Peper Bell, wealthy daughter of Nich- olas M. Bell of 4442 West Pine boule- vard. The suit ts directed jointly against Mr. and Mrs. Hinrichs. Galloway told a Post-Dispatch report- er that he was engaged three weeks in advance and that he played a rehearsal] the night before the wedding in St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Lindell boulevard and Spring avenue. On the night of the wedding he played a half hour recital preceding the marriage, and then a wedding march. Galloway said there was no stipula- tion as to the price, but considered his services for such an occasion worth $50. Six months after the wedding, be- ing unable to collect the bill, he said he wrote to the bride's father but re- ceived no answer. At the Bell resi- dence it was shid that Mr. and Mra. Hinrichs were in Hot Springs. Ark. The couple reside at 6251 Delmar boule- vard.

EL PASO, Tex., endangere completed, without the firing of a shot by the Americans, it was indicated here, already was beginning, March 18.—The first phase of the Americ expedition into Mexico, the rush along Villa’s dim trail to the red Mormon colonies, was an accomplished fact tonight— according to reports reaching the Columbus base, — The second phase as the Americans turned from Casas Grandes to resume their night marches ander the brilliant moonlight toward the rough mountain slopes where it is known Francisco Villa already had preceded them with more | than 100 miles start. Warning that this second act in the chase might not pass without fighting against bandits stringent censorship imposed at military news, the censor said would be likely to cost soldiers’ There was brief excitement today at Columbus. From across the hot, dusty Mexican border, two soldiers on stretcn- ers were brought into the camp. Both were calvarymen. Excitement passed when it was learned that one had been thrown from his horse, injuring his leg, while the other, who at first was said | to have been shot in the abdomen, was found to be suffering from a_ welli- known form of stomach ache. Carranza Garrisons Tranquil, When Washington announced that the American column did not intend to oc- cupy cities, a menace to Mexican na- tional pride was removed. The Car- ranza garrisons, which have been passed by the marching Americans, and which, therefore, are now in the Ameri- rear or on their flanks, con- reports to El Paso in- cans’ tinued tranquil, dicated, Gen. Gabriel Gavira at Jaurez, com- manding the territory through which for three days. the Americans have been marching, himself announced that for a time the situation as reported to him had been very delicate and even With evident relief, he said, it is serious. the crisis had passed. This crisis, believed, reached its height last night when courlers dashing into Casas Grandes announced with careless en- thusiasm that the American troops would enter that city at midnight. Gen. Gavira wired immediate orders to his troups not to permit this. Dawn showed the long lines of cavalry horses just outside Colonia Dublan, their troopers disinounted and in camp at rest. Villa Has 100-Mile Start. Villa was located today with some de- gree of definiteness if weight of evi- dence counts in pinning down his rapid shifts. From several sources Constitu- tionalists received messages, all of which placed him in approximately the was implied in a new and more Columbus. Further leakage of frankly to the eainnsae presay, hives. so far employed by the comander the expedition. What Gen. plan is, however, vealed. When Gen. has not been fre- into Mexico which has taken place near Casas Grandes was planned with little ex- pectation that Villa would be sightée before this time. It was real tnat the only chance for the Ameri” cans to catch the operations was that he would gather his forces and resist their ad ¥ vance, (aleana district south of Cases Grandes, in the environs of which a cavalry force under rested today.

These dispatches had him nearly due south of the American column's pres- ent known positions, and close to the Sierra Terahumare Mountains, so close to them, tn fact, that if his reputation as a fox holds good during the Ameri- can chase. he should be able to make a puzzling disappearance in these ranges with a very few hours’ hard riding. By all accounts tre is more than 190 miles ahead of the Americans, about the same distance he has been out of their reach for a week, but with one posal- biy important difference, that while heretofore the Américans have been rid- ing on a somewhat cold trail, they are now nearing ground which Villa very recently passed over and where they may. have practical opportunity to test the temper of the rural Mexicans from whom they might receive valuable tn- formation.

SAN ANTCNIO, Texas., March 18.— Failure by Francisco Villa, on whose trail more than 1000 United States troops are marching, to make 4 stand , and fight before the end of next week, will radically alter the methods Ger.

By Marguerite Martyn. AT opposite Mrs. J. G. Phelps | Stokes, charming, cultured wife of a New York millionaire. She was hav- ing breakfast at 11 o’clock in a luxurious breakfast room of the Jefferson Hotel. A fountain tinkled musically at one side, birds sang in gilded cages, there was the sparkle of crystal and silver and the aroma of appetizing foods, mingling with the fragrance of hothouse fiowers. Noiseless attendants antici- pated every want. In short, there was the perfection of service taken for granted of an expensive hotel. A note of discord in the harmony would have been the exceptional, the noticeable thing. But presently that note was struck, so forcibly and dramatically that I think { never shall quite contentedly and heedlessly enjoy similar surroundings again. Mrs. Stokes turned suddenly from the dainty breakfast she was or- dering and interviewed the waiter on his conditions of work. And the two extremes of class difference and injus- tice were never quite so vividly brought home to me. But I should have introduced her as Rose Pastor Stokes to explain every- thing. In some nationally famous strikes. those of the garment workers, the hotel workers, the shirtwaist mak- as an leader, an agitator, an ex- ecutive, a fighter, the fervent young Jewish woman has become well and widely known to both sides of the so- cial order, the employers and the em- ployes, in dread or devotion, according to their respective standpoints. Exceptionally gentle, graceful, fin- ished as to speech, manner, move- ment, Mrs. Stokes today fits perfectly the environment of wealth, culture and aristocracy which her husband has surrounded her. Yet it is well known how she rose, so to speak, from the ranks. It is difficult 19 conceive that those fair, shapely “elo- quent” hands—as someone in one of her St. Louis audiences spoke of them —once helped to support six younger sisters and brothers, by making cig- ars. Only when she tells you so tersely can you believe that the mis- tress of a home in New York, famous as a gathering place of the intellec- tuals, had only -- months’ schooling and those before she was eleven; in I. rdon during one stage of her fam- s emigration from Poland to Amer- ica. And dignified, | reserved, self- possessed,. certainly She does not ful. fill the popular conception of the cigarette girl of song and story. Waiter Tells His Story. well mannered and A HE walter, alert, as his trade demands, rec- little chap, ognized at once, from the nature of her questions, having read of her presence in the city, who it was that was displaying an interest in him. Quickly, cautiously, furtivelv, he gave his brief account of himself. “We work in three crews,” ers, a boyish clean cut he ou ee STOP GRAY HAIRS Quickly and Safely No one can tell that you used anything if you use Mary T.

Then da. We go to the morning and said. a big it may be tne morning before next day is a short work at 11:30 in work until 8 or 9 o'clock at night. The other erew is composed of short time men who do not know when they are to be called. They must register often during the day and be within call all the time, and they get paid only when they work.” “Have you a union Mrs. Stokes. “Oh, sure, we have a union, the waiter. “I am a union man. But the big hotels will not deal with the union. When I1 came looking for a job T was asked if I was a Geneva man. The Geneva association is an organization of hotel employes. The head of the dining room is always a Geneva man. When he gets his job he promises to furnish the crews. Well, ‘ound out if I was to work I must be a Geneva man. I must work, so I joined the association, which looks after the interests of the bosses, but not of the waiters.” “And what is your pay?’ Mrs. Stokes. “Salary? Oh, the serving laugh. “It The only pay tips.” “And the _ tips: Stokes knowingly. ‘They have to be divided six, seven, eight ways,” rejoined’ the “The head waiter and the must get their share.” “In New York it was the fining sys- tem that was of the greatest abuses,’’ resumed Mrs. Stokes as the his duties. ‘‘At the Hotel Belmont, where our strike started, it was the rule to fine a waiter $1 for dropping a spoon or a fork, ‘‘Also a waiter was finen if caught sipping coffee or nibbling food left upon a returned tray. Now, you know it must be a hungry man who would eat another man’s discarded food. Think of the bitterness instilled in the man beholding such extravagance and waste. knowing perhaps that his own family is being deprived of the necessaries of life.”’ “How far did the hotel workers’ help matters?’ I asked. “Tt was not called a successful strike. The men went back to work without contracts. But it resulted in many samellorations. The fining system is not so general in New York. Better work- ing hours were obtained. Cooks before the strike worked every day in the cal- endar. It is not quite so bad as that now. And, then, it served to imbue em- ployers with a wholesome. fear. here?” asked replied queries ? it is nothing,” returne: man, with aie derisive is not worth speaking of is what vou give us in »*F prompted Mirs. waite-. captains one strike How Stokes Uses Income.

I was sure if I pointed out the inconsistency to Mrs. Stokes she would have some explanation, so IT had no hesitancy in putting the question pointedly: “Why don’t we forthwith divide what we have with the poor?’ She replied, interpreting me correctly, “Because no efficient or effective result would be ar- rived at. It is a mistake to say that my husband is a rich man when all his unearned income is/systematically de- voted to the organized effort to spread the socialistic doctrine and all our time and labor are devoted to the cause. We certainly think it more effective to further the cause that will eventually We are}. eliminate all unearned income than to spend it in ways that would never touch the basic causes of our economic in- equalities.’’ 0 * ; An example of the reverse theory and practice, namely, our own James Eads How, came to my mind, ‘“‘He is a saint upon earth,”’ Stokes, when I mentioned him. is one of our best friends, often visit- ing us. But his methods of doing gZ00d She threw up her hands in the gesture of futility. In a discussion following one of her lectures during the week somebody put the question: said Mrs. ‘He think socialism will prevail within one hundred years?’ “Oh, my, yes!’ Mrs. Stokes exclaimed emphatically. Now I asked what in the present state of world politics made her nopeful, “Do you so “Out come,” she time for all be a fairer of everv great good has is difficult at the There had to already it is to be seen emerging from the turmoil in Europe.

But out of the reorganization is coming the greater socialization of the world.’’ “Don't you see a hopeful sign also in the attitude of the younger genera- tion of some of our millionaire families —Anne Morgan, the younger Rockefel- ler and others?’ I suggested. “T see how they themselves are go- ing to be helped by it. Mixing with just folks is going to teach them that we are all just folks. But nothing can help except the change of the whole economic system.” Mrs. Stokes’ latest crusade has been in behalf of the movement to do away with the law which forbids the circula- tion of information on birth limitation. Mrs. Sanger and her pamphlets on the subject were allowed to become a test case in New York, which case has been dropped by the courts. “We accomplished that victorv by arousing and influencing public senti- ment,”’ said Mrs. Stokes. “‘A great num- g0 back,’’ has come be | under | Dutch crew.

GAVIRA SAYS - Fact that Americans Were Not Resisted “Shows Confidence of People in Chief.’ EL PASO, Tex., March 18.—Gen. Ga- vira issued a formal statement to the Associated Press at his headquarters a* today in which he interpreted the fact that no resistance had been of- fered to the American forces crossing the border as proof of the faith of the Mexican people in Carranza. The state- ment was as follows: Juarez “The constitutionalist army, formed by men of liberal thought and by armed citizens to fight oppression, has shown its force to the world by breaking the reactionary efforts of Diaz, Huerta and Villa. “The American always poorly stand or our Government, almost informed, did not under- either our aspirations for liberty internal conditions. To decide ' favor by recognizing us as the de facto Government, it was necessary for the Secretary of State and the repre- sentatives of the A. B. C. to publish as unanswerable proof of our cohesion and discipline in a series of answers that, from distant points*and without pre- vious agreement, were sent them by the numerous liberal chiefs. These answers were set forth in the note that we all know. “Now American troops have just crossed to our side of the line without protests or difficulties. To what, then. is it to be attributed that the Mexican public, so scrupulous and extremelv sensitive in all that concerns its sover- elgnty, has not protested in the vigor- ous form it knows well how to make? “It is because the people of Mexico have faith in us, because they know well the patriotism and the sense of honor of the First Chief and of the hi ‘ghd officers, military and civil, who ®re in control. They know that such men would not. barter away the father- land. Could the American people wish a better proof of the power of the con- Stitutionalist army that has been con- stituted by the men of the revolution”’’ ‘‘We have passed the crisis,” said Gen. Gavira, earlier in the day, “and I fee! much relieved. There is no question that the situation was very delicate and even serious for a while. The Carranza Gov- ernment has demonstrated its ability to control the people and has been ably seconded by its Generals in the field. “TI do not wish to be understood as in any Way approving the entry of American Mexican soll.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 19, 1916 HEIRESS’ MARRIAGE TO MAIL BUREAU SUITOR ANNULLED Court Holds He Wed Illinois Girl to ’ Get Money, but Fatled and Deserted Her. BLOOMINGTON, Ill., March 18.—Judge Hart issued an order today annulling the marriage of Nellie Pearl Spence Bailey and Lawrence Bailey, Mrs. Bal- ley lived at Stanford and is a member of a weajthy and prominent family. The suit was brought by Frank A. Miller, conservator for Mrs, Bailey, whose property is said to be worth $200,- Bailey lived at Sioux City (Io.) and became acquainted with Nellie Spence through a correspondence bureau and after visiting her proposed marriage. They went together to the conservator and asked his permission to marry. He refused and they went to St. Louis and were married by a justice of the peace March 10, 1915. The mother of Miss Spence accompanied them, for, she said on the witness stand, she “was afraid he would run away with the efrl and not marry her.’’ The couple lived together at Fairbury on a farm belonging to the bride. The court held that Bailey married her to secure her property and when he found he could not get her money that he de- serted her.

PRESIDENT APPROVES GENERAL FEATURES Denies, However, Hay’s Statement That Measure Is His Own Bill—Army Inad- equate for Miniature War, Mann Declares. WASHINGTON, March 18.~—With vir- tually unanimous declarations for na- tional preparedness, thé House army in- crease bill reached the amendment stage today, after 10 hours of one-sided gen- eral debate. The House will begin discussion of de- tails in earnest Monday; but there are indications that opposition to the meas- ure as a change in national policy, has collapsed. No opponent appeared dur- ing the debates except Meyer London, the Socialist Representative from New York. The Senate’s army bill also will come up Monday with the administration urg- ing that the Senate sidetrack ‘all other business until it is disposed of. Inter- est centered tonight in President Wil- son's attitude as between these two measures, which differ essentially. Chairman Hay of the House Military Committee described the House bill dur- ing the debate today as “‘the President's cwn bill.’’ Republican Leader Mann questioned the accuracy of this descrip- tion. “Doubtless the President favors the best he can obtain,’’ Mann said. “I have no doubt he favors it over existing law.”’ Not Committed to Hay Bill. Tonight President Wilson let it be known that while he approves the gen- eral features of the Hay bill, he has not committed himself to its details. Ad- ministration officials are looking to the Conference Committee, which will ad- just the House and Senate bills, after passage, to produce a measure which will have the President’s full approval. Speaker Clark closed the general de- hate in the House, expressing approval o* the Hay bill and declaring it was sat- isfactory to the average American and as good as could be expected under the circumstances. The nation as a whole, he said, wished to hold a middle course. “They want peace,” he said,. “but not peace at any price. They want peace with honor. They believe thor- oughly that there are things worth fighting for. They are not willing to bankrupt the country on military and naval preparations. They ars however, willing to spend all that is necessary for the public defense.” Representative Mann characterized the bill as inadequate to the nation’s needs, saying it would provide for preparedness for peace, not for war. “IT believe,” he contined, “that it is the duty of the United States to prepare now an army which will add weight to diplomatic suggestions we make, The time has come whenitis wise probality of the future and prepare now for what may cometous. If we do not, we may regret it to the end of our lives.” Kahn for Bigger Navy. Representative Kahn, ranking Re- publican member of the committee, in closing the debate for the minoritv side, said that after all the first line * defense was the navy and that it Was more essential to put the navy on a footing where it could maintain control of the sea against any enemy that it was to build up an army. While the navy controlled the sea, he added, no invader could reach Ameri- can shores. Consideration of amendements be- gan immediately on the close of de. bate. The only change made today was to raise the rank of the chief of coast artillery from a brigadier to major general. An amendment by Representative Gardner, Republican of Massachusetts, to increase the com- mittee’s figures for additional men tn the coasf artillery corps from 17,000 to 22,000 was voted down without division, but after considerable argu- ment. When the House adjourned, Repre- sentative Kahn had pending an amend- ment proposing a total authorized peace strength of 220,000 for the regu. lar army instead of the committee's figure of 140,000. It will be taken up Monday and a test vote may come over its disposition, Speaker Clark summing up what he believed to be the view of the American people on the present situa- tion, sald: “They want peace, but riot ‘peace at any price.” They want ‘peace with hon- ’ the sort of peace that Disraeli—the adi brilliant Englishman since Lord Byron—boasted that he took home with him from the congress of Berlin, ‘peace with honor.’ “While peace is the normal condition of Americans and while they love it most fondly, they believe thorough'y that there are things worth fighting for —a belief which they have demonstrated with guns in their hands on all proper occasions. They are sure, if need be, to do so again. They believe that the revolutionary war and the war of 1812 were, on our porta, just and necessary wars. Opposes Huge Standing Army. “They do not intend to see this coun- try turned into an armed camp. They are unalterably opposed and forever will be, to a large standing army, he- for us to consider the possibility, the] cause while we have never had a big | standing army here, they know full welj by ae. ey ] that in other countries huge standing armies have been the instruments of despotism. “They are not willing to bankrupt the country in military and naval prepara- tions. They are, however, willing to spend all that is necessary for the pub- lic defense. “They are almost to a man against conscription in times of war. “They have no desire to have ovr country pose as a great military power and they have no intention of seeing it as helpless as China. “These hard-headed Americans be- lieve profoundly in the philosophy that ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.’ They are against a war of aggression, but they will fly to arms any day in a war for de- fense, They do not covet their neigh- bor’s lands and they do not intend that a foreign foe shall set foot on the sacred soil of the American re- public. Hay Bill Reasonable, “The average American is in favor of reasonable and adequate prepara- tion by land and sea—not for the pur- pose of attacking any nation on earth, for he believes with Thomas Jefferson in ‘peace, commerce and best friendship with all nations, en- tangling alliances with none.’ “What he wants with reasonable adequate armaments by land and sea is to repel attack of any and every ma- tion under the sun, should any nation be so unwise as to attack us. While he is not eager to pi: taxes, he is willing to foot the bilf§ for reasonable and adequate preparedness. He will consider the Hay bill reasonable and adequate for our land forces. “A great many people—I am not talk- ing about foreigners, but Americans—a great many people here at home, sadly misjudge our character. We constantly are told that this is the most peaceful ration beneath the stars. While we are the most peaceful in the world, we are at the same time the most partial. Proof of that seeming paradox is that in April, 1861, there were not 20,000 soi- diers in America, while in April, 1865, the continent trembled beneath the iron heel of two millions of the finest sol- diers the sun ever looked down upon, some in blue and some in gray. So that will be again, should the occasion arise —which God forbid. We were 30 mil- lions strong then; we number one hun- dred millions now.”’ Backed by the provisions of the bill, Representative Anthony of Kansas said, all the military necessities of the nation would be met with the increases pro- posed. Represenative Anthony provoked an argument by stating his conviction that it was unnecessary to add any guns or men to the coast defenses. The bill pro- vides 52 additional coast artillery corps companies, and Anthony said he had violated his own best judgment in voting for this section. “TIT am glad you did,’’ interjected Rep- resentative Moore. Representative Sherley, chairman of the Fortifications Committee, said his seven years’ study of coast defenses had convinced him more men were needed. Mann Brings Up Mexican Case. In his 15-minute speech Minority Lead- er Mann said: ‘*‘We are having a little trouble on the and border of Mexico and are sending a few soldiers into that country. The time for that came after we had troops on the border for four years in contempla- tion of that very thing. Yet when this trouble occurred the troops were not actually sent across the border yntil the House had passed a resolution ordering an increase of 20,000 men to take the places of the few soldiers who might cross. Senate to Take Up Bill. The Senate military bill, which proba- bly will be taken up for debate Monday, rroposes a total peace strength for the army of 194,586 enlisted men and 10,726 officers The figures are contained in the report on the bill, made public to- day, which was compiled by the Army War College. The war-time strength would be 236,000 enlisted men The Senate bill would add the follow- ing organizations to the existing force, besides reorganizing the army: Infan- ments; field artillery, 15 regiments; engineers, 5 regiments; coast ar- llery 93 companies; mounted engineers; 2 battalions: 7 aero squadrons. The House bill purposes to add: Infan- try, 10 regiments; field artillery, 6 regi- ments; coast artillery, 52 companies; en- gineers, 15 companies; four aero squad- rons. Another difference between the bills is in the minimum strength fixed for the national guard under the proposed fed- eralization provisions. The Senate bill provides for 280,000, while the House bill calls for 425,000 in five years. The report on the Senate bill lays stress on its proposal for a third force, to take in men who for any reason would not be found in the ranks of the regulars or the national guard. This is described as a purely Federal volunteer force, and in effect it is comparable to a continental army total strength of 261,000 if this force is provided for. The House bill aims at the same force through authorization of the training camp movement which has. been in progress for two years. The full strength of the defensive armies provided under the Senate bill would be 777,000 men in war times, ex- clusive of reserves. Senators Favor Letting More En- listed Men Into West Point. WASHINGTON, March 18.—Radical modifications of the entrance require- ments at West Point, so as to admit enlisted men, was debated in the Sen- ate today during consideration of*the bill doubling the number of cadets at the academy. The measure provides for appointment of one enlisted man a year from each regiment, Senator Reed offered an amendment making the ap- rointment five to a regiment and Sena- tors Gallinger and Smith of Georgia de- clared the cadet personnel at the acad- emy should tbe made up entirely of men from the regular army ranks, On suggestion of Senator Hitchcock, Senator Reed modified his amendment so as to limit the number of appoint- ments from the ranks to 300 a year, though he said he personally favored opening the academy to any soldier who could qualify. Senator James proposed five appointments a year from each regiment of the national guard and the number of cadets appointed from civil life to give room for more ap- pointments from the army. Chairman Chamberiain of the military committee in charge of the bill said he was inclined to favor the Reed amend- ment, but feared its mometancs would yandicap prospects for an early agree- | ment with the House on other features of the measure.

But if -e ever hurts Jess and makes him Jess will knock him out sure.’” That natural come-back of Wil- lard’s makes him a very hard man to beat. When a fighter lands heav- ily and “gets his mad going” he usually presses the advantage as hard as he can. Moran is particular- ly good at finishing a fighter who has been momentarily dazed or weak- ened by a blow, If he lands a good hard one, and lands it right, he’s likely to sail in tooth and nail for a knockout. And right there he’ll find Willard ten times as dangerous as he is when unhurt. Willard has remarkable shock assimilating pow- ers.

Old Man Dope, who is game if nothing else, tipped us off after exploring for three days among the guides and lore of the ring, that Willard has been pretty weli-prepped in the school of experience to bear the laurels he wears. 7 oF = Showing Up Some Heroes. . ON’T think for a minute that the Corbetts, Fitzsimmons and Jeffries have worked harder than Our Gorgonzola friend Willard forthe right to battle for the title,’’ Dope commented, yesterday. “The famed John I. himself, according to the records, had fought less than 12 bouts when he won the title: Corbett had been in the ring a score of times before he defeated that incarnated vat, John L.; Fitzsimmons had fought a lot of battles, but Jeffries had ap- peared publicly only 19 times, when he altered the map of Lanky Bob, in their title match. “Marvin Hart got the title easier than anyone. Marvin's record con- sisted largely of bouts with Old John Barleycorn whom he had put down so often that he lost count, But one day, at Reno, Nev., in 1905, Marvin ut away a regular fighter, Jack Root. and thereupon James J. Jeffries transferred to.him his crown—for a consideration of $1000 cash in hand. Then came Tommy Burns. “Rurns was our first Cheese cham- pion. He took part in a lot of bat- tles of varied degrees of crookedness and honesty; but there were 38 of them before he got hold of Hart and inveigled him into A championship contest. “Hart was fresh from a stomach punch handed him by Old King Alco- hol. Burns, without difficulty, gained a decision over this animated distil- lery and so became a champion. He had fought 40 bouts before the title chance developed. ‘ Johnson Had ’Em Scared. “Johnson was a busy fighter. He would have been champion a lot soon- er, but he was so dark the white champions just couldn’t see him. Either that or they were practicing for an artists’ profession, drawing the color line being their specialties. “Thus, Johnson had battled @4 fights before he was given a real lookin for the championship. “Of course he won it. Anybody could have disposed of a piece of cheese, at a mouthful. But Johnson really earned it. He haa- fought all the tough nuts and was the craftiest. cleverest and, in his prime, the very best heavyweight fighter of ALL time—up.” (This is Old Man Dope being inter- viewed, kindly remember. Bo.) “Now we come to Willard, the ‘sloth, lagy mammoth, unskilled dub,’ etc.. whom we have read about. But, as a matter of fact, this ‘Dub’ fought 29 battles before he was matched for the title. “This in 21 fights more than Sullivan fought, when he was called up to high places; it was five more than Corbett, 19 more than Jeffries, and about as many as Fitz himeelf—ineluding Aus- him pearly aisto- | tralian contests—had battled, stay off of him, too, if you think he’s green. In the six years Moran has been in the game he has battled 43 times against the best white men, and once against the best of the black dynasty. “He has already fought more rounds than John L. Sullivan or Jim Jeffries did in their entire careers. Willard, too, in five years in the ring, has fought a greater number of rounds than did Jeffries in his lifetime. “So, on the score of preparedness, there is no reason to knock our be- hemoth of a title-holder. The records show that he HAS been busy.” And, just to prove it, the Old Boy offers the following figures taken from the standard guides showing how many fights the champions fought each vear their ring ca- reers. of Record by Years.

Pp ROF.” BILL CLARKE, long and favorably known in these parts as the Balfast (Chicken—a game rooster he was, too—has passed on after 88 years filled to the brim with that wine of life, excitement, quaffed with unflagging gusto, to the end. Bred as a boy, in an English “hnox- ing booth,” the “chicken” learned the game in a rough school—and liked it. Here was the system: The pro- moter of the “booth” assembled a bunch of fighters of all weights and with more or less experience in pro- tecting themselves with their fists. He led them from fair to fair, and race track to race track, pitching his tent where the crowd—and the orowns-—were thickest. When every- thing Was set and the ballyhoos had drawn a crowd, the promoter trotted | he started out. He was very popular with the crowd. Being LITr- TLE he was the choice of about nine- tenths of those eager to take a chance at winning the promoter's coin, In this school Bill learned to pro- tect himself. He HAD to, in order - wake up with the same face each ay. But although Bill became clever, he never climbed very high. You can search in vain in the “Ring Bat- tles of Centuries” and other standard works and not find where Bill fought any of the good ones. Late in life he boxed Jem Mace and others in exhibitions, Bill's reputation was built chiefly on his character, which was 99 44-100 optimism—this, and not pugilism, won him a place in the sun. _ For the rest, he was the oldest liv- ing boxer, for all that the records tell us differently.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH | A LLL A IE eeeeesieeenne lie aan BOOM 10 FEATURE PARTY GATHERING Delegates From Eastern Part of State to Go to St. Joseph Today. Delegates and candidates for State “ffiaes from the eastern half of the spate will start for St. Joseph today to attend the Democratic State Con- vention ,ruesday. The prospect of a rea] fight over the proposition to indorse Gov. Major as a candidate for vice president, and the election of a Democratic national committeeman to succeed Edward F. to St. Josepr, in addition to the 1356 delegates. The purpose for which the conven- tion tm called is to elect four dele- gates-at-large to the Democratic Na- tional Convention in St. Louis June 14, and 32 district delegates; nom- inate 18 presidential electors, and se- lect a national committeeman. It it a foregone conclusion that the convention will adopt resolutions strongly and unequivocally indorsing President Wilson for renomination, and, will instruct the 36 delegates to vote for him. Fight on Major. The proposition to indorse Gov. Major for vice president is believed to be nothing more than a scheme to didate, so that Senator Reed will have a clear field for renomination. Allegations of Gov. Major’s mani- pulation of the Excise Commissioner's in St. Louis and St. Louis The general weakness of the Major anti-Major partisan in St. Louis, and was held in his room at the Planters Hotel. Hawes was St. Louis campaign manager for William 8. Cowherd of Kansas City in the governorship contest in 1912, and succeeded in lining up the Democratic City Committee almest to a man against Major. These men are now ostensibly for Major for Vice President, though at heart they are bitterly against him. It was at the same meeting in Hawes’ room that the plag to elect Rorace S&S, Rumesey, Excise Commissioner of St. Louis, under appointment from Major, Democratic national committeeman to succeed Goltra had its inception. Dissatisfaction With Goltra. There has been more or less dissat- isfaction with Goltra as Democratic na- tional committeeman among the work- ing party leaders. They felt that he did not render efficient service at the meeting of the Democratig National Committee at Washington in December, when St. Louis won the Democratic Na- tional convention. They declare that it was more throtgh the efforts of the Business Mén’s League Committee than to any efforts of Goltra that St. Louis won the convention. After all objections to Major’s indorse- ment had been iron out at the Hawes meeting, Rumsey suggested that as he would become the campaign manager for Gov. Major, he would like to be elected Democratic national committee- man, believing that thereby he could make the campaign more effective. He said he wished to serve only from the date of the State convention until after the national convention. In addition to Hawes and Rumsey, those attending the meeting at which the Rumsey campaign was launched were Lon Sanders, Fountain Roth- well, United States Colector of Cus- toms: Arthur Oliver, United States District Attorney; F. M. Kleiber, George H. Moore, United States In- ternal Revenue Collector, and Frank M. Sosey, United States Appraiser. The presence of so many Federal officeholders at the conference lent color to the reports started imme- diately thereafter that Senators Stone and Reed were back of the Rumsey campaign for Governor. The Federal job holders all owe their ap- pointments to the two Senators, and it was generally supposed that they were representing the wishes of Stone and Reed. Friends of the Senator say that nei- ther Stone nor Reed had .any- thing whatever to do with »bring- ing Rumsey out as a candidate for National Committeeman, and _ they are not supporting him in his fight committee- ENTRY OF GARDNER HURTS CHANCES Ut JOHN E. SWANGER es Republicans Were for Sedalian as Long as State House Crowd Had Chance. Coincident with the formal an- nouncement vesterday of John E. Swanger of Sedalia as a Republican candidate for Governor, the faction of the St. Louis RepuLlican City Committee, which has been fostering the Swanger boom for a month, con- cluded it would become necessary to drop him as a candidate for some other man who would make a stronger appeal to the St. Louis voters. The entry of Fred D. St. Louis into the race date for the Democratic for Governor is largely responsible for the decision of the Republicans to drop Swanger. As long as it ap- peared to the Republican leaders that either Secretary of State Roach, At- torney-General Barker, John M. At- kinson, Lieutenant-Governor Painter, or any one else connected with the Major administration, had a chance for the Democratic nomination, they were willing to go into the fight next November with Swanger as their candidate. , Gardner of as a candi- nomination But as soon as it seemingly be- came apparent-to them that Gardner had jumped into the lead in the Dem- ocratic race, the faction became con- vinced that Swanger would not have a chance for election in November it Gardner should be the Democratic nominee. x John Schmoll, Republican City Chairman, and former Judge Selden P. Spencer, both have Leen suggested as candidates for Governor during the past few days. Schmoll really would like to make the race for Governor, but he has told his friends that he did not wish to go against Gardner as a candidate. The Republicans figure that Gardner can not only poll the full Democratic strength, but that marriage and three children, and a daughter, his second English was born in this city in 188% and was a graduate of New York Uni- versity.

Mrs. English as was exonerated by a coroner’s jury here tonight after she and three of her children had testi- fied to English’s alleged brutality and frequent threats to kill his wife. The woman testified that while their two sons were cutting wood this morning, she requested to permit the elder to quit on account of illness. She said this an- gered her husband, who began to Smash dishes and furniture. Mrs. English obtained a revolver, hid it in her dress and later when her husband took his revolver and threatened to kill her, she testified, she emptied the five chambers of her revolver into his body. Mrs. English is a daughter of the late McClintock Young, a Frederick inventor. She was one of the most at- tractive members of the cial set of Frederick at the her marriage to English, English was the author of a book of legal phrases, which is considered a creditable work.

The sale has been devised, Harris says, to apportion the undivided interests of the members of the Delmar Improve- ment Co., the owner of the tract. Some of them live in New York City and at other remote points. Accordingly, the attempt to dispose of the property at pri- vate sale has proved impracticable, ow- ing to the fact that it was necessary to submit each sale contract to the dif- ferent members of the syndicate, all of whom had ideas of their own as to the value of the property.

Mrs. Clark went to wak her hus- band and found him unconscious. A physician was called, but Clark sank rapidly and efforts to restore con- | sciousness were futile. He died in| a few minutes. | Clark long had been a picturesque | figure in the sporting life of St. Louis. In his youth he was a noted fighter at county fairfs and race meets in England. He fought as a bantam- weight and his indomitable fighting spirit won for him the nickname which clung to him through life. Though somewhat weakened by age, Clark apparently was in good health and spirits Friday and at his home he cele- brated St. Patrick’s day by singing an Irish song. Funeral by Elks. Clark had been a Mson 60 years and an Elk since the formation of that or- der. The Elks will have charge of his | funeral, which will be at 2:30 p. m. to- morrow, from the Wagoner Chapel, 3621 Olive street. In his younger days Clark developed many boxers and later he was equally successful in training and developing | 5 swimmers. He was an unfailing attend- ant at all boxing bouts in St. Louis un- | til a few months ago, when the sargeaiemete | ties of age began to tell on him. He was noted for his bluff and hearty man- ner and his rich cockney dialect. With his fringe of white beard under his chin Clark looked like a seafaring man of the old school or like a char- acter which had stepped out of one of | Dickens’ novels. Came to America in 1851. Clark was born in Ireland in 1826. In recent years he often was called “the | oldest prizefighter in the world.’’ Record books extending back almost to the be- ginning of the prizefighting game do not show any records of Clark’s battles, although the victories and defeats of other fighters who were contemporary with him are shown. Clark fought a long time ago and his friends took his stories of his prowess largely on faith. Nevertheless he had the reputation of having been a great fighter, however be on that subject. Clark’s natatorium, which he opened near Nineteenth and Pine streets in 1889, Was a famous place in its day. Many St. Louisans in the last two generations learned to swim there. Clark came to America in 1851. Aft- er running a saloon and “boxers’ re- treat’’ in New York and training fight- ers in San Francisco, he came to St. Louis in the late 70s and had lived here since then.

& oe pm ee et eee PR BP cs MIE LEGER: ps a. 0h fin 5 = Sa de Sa A OLDEST PUGILIST IN WORLD, DIES ‘‘Prof.’’ Bill Clark, 90 Years Old, Widely Known in Sport- ing Circles Here. _ “Prof.” Bill Clark, 0 years old, once known in the prize ring as the} “Belfast Chicken’ and for many years a natatorium proprietor and swim- ming teacher in St. Louis died sud- deny at his home, 2513 Morganford road, yesterday. Mrs. Clark went to wak her hus- band and found him unconscious. A physician was called, but Clark sank rapidly and efforts to restore con- sciousness were futile. a few minutes. Clark long had been a picturesque figure in the sporting life of St. Louis. In his youth he was a noted fighter at county fairfs and race meets in England. He fought as a bantam- weight and his indomitable fighting spirit won for him the nickname which clung to him through life. Though somewhat weakened by age, Clark apparently was in good health and spirits riday and at his home he cele- brated St. Patrick’s day by singing an lrish song. Funeral by Elks. Clark had been a Mson 60 years and an Elk since the formation of that or- der. The Elks will have charge of his funeral, which will be at 2:30 p. m. to- morrow, from the Wagoner Chapel, 3621 Olive street. In his younger days Clark developed many boxers and later he was equally successful in training and developing swimmers. He was an unfailing attend- ant at all boxing bouts in St. Louis un- 1il a few months ago, when the infirmi- ties of age began to tell on him. He was noted for his bluff and hearty man- ner and his rich cockney dialect. With his fringe of white beard under his chin Clark looked like a seafaring man of the old school or like a char- acter which had stepped out of one of Dickens’ novels. Came to America in 1851. Clark was born in Ireland in 1826. In recent years he often was called ‘‘the oldest prizefighter in the world.’’ Record books extending back almost to the be- ginning of the prizefighting game do not show any records of Clark’s battles, although the victories and defeats of other fighters who were contemporary with him are shown. Clark fought a long time ago and his friends took his stories of his prowess largely on faith. Nevertheless he had the reputation of having been a great fighter, however silent the annals of the prigering might ' be on that subject. Clark’s natatorium, whitch he opened near Nineteenth and Pine streets in 1880, was a famous place in its day. Many St. Louisans in the last two generations learned to swim there. Clark came to America in 1851. Aft- er running a saloon and ‘boxers’ re- treat’’ in New York and training fight- ers in San Francisco, he came to St. Louis in the late 70s and had lived here since then.

And when he died, last year, this rich man left his own sons about $35,000, it is said; gave about $100,000 to his adopted boy and left the rest to his widow. to the devotee of Mrs. Tingley and the sweetheart of his youth. The sons tried to compromise with the widow, rather than accomplish a breach, but were coldly re- fused. Then they instituted action, alleging undue in- fluence over the father on the part of this wife and hinting at the complicity of Mrs. Tingley.

HEN Europe was plunged into war 1% months ago, Germany might or might not have anticipated the Brit- ish order in council, which almost shut the Kaiser’s realm off from the rest of the world so far as im- ports and exports of food and other articles of commerce were concerned, and compelled the civilian population to depend largely upon what could be raised within the limits of the empire for their sustenance. But when this did happen Germany was no less prepared than she was in a military way at the outbreak of hostilities. That she was is due in a very large measure to one woman—Frau Hedwig Heyl, whoa, since the war started, has gained the sobriquet of “The Hindenburg of the Kitchen,” and who before that was known:<as ‘the mother of Berlin.” Fraul Heyl is said to be, next to the German Empress, the best known woman in Germany. She is the person- ification of that for which German housewives have be- come famous—cooting. When Hindenburg was leading his vast army to its great victory in the region of the Mazurian lakes, Frau Hey! was, figuratively speaking, marching at the head of unother army within the bor- ders of Germany—an army of women organized to pro- mote public welfare and household economics. To use another figure of speech, Frau Heyl’s whole life has been spent in the kitchen. Thus, when the war broke out, there she was, having been providen- tially raised up to meet a great crisis. How she met it is interestingly told by a correspondent who visited her recently and talked to her, naturally, in her kitchen, where she is continually experimenting with every- thing that might possibly be turned into a dish of nutritive value. Some of the edibles she has discoverea were not dreained of before the war. Frau Heyl, early in her career, taught housekeeping te Victoria, Princess of Schaumburg-Lippe, a ‘sister of Kaiser Wilhelm. Later, she wrote the “A BC of the rxitchen,” which she dedicated to her royal! pupil. ‘This book is regarded as the housekeepers’ bible throughout Germany. The Empress Frederick, then Crown Princess of Germany, requested Frau Heyl to take the young Princess as a pupil, declaring that “If I send her to the chef de cuisine of the palace she will only learn to imi- tate: if I send her to an eminent professor, she will get only a smattering of scientific knowledge; whereas, with you, I feel that she will receive the essential com- ° bination of science and practice.” Science and practice—these are the ‘elements which Frau Heyl has brought into her work as unofficial supervisor of the composite German kitchen since war has made it such an important factor if preserving the life of the nation. What follows, then, 1s the story of what Frau Hey! has done to conserve the food resources of Germany to offset the effect of the British blockade. As though foreseeing Everything is first tested in Frau Heyl's oirn laboratory and kitchen before it is recommended to the public. Due to Frau Heyl’s experimentation, the poorer classes of Germany have been enabled to enjoy marma- lade all winter. She organized the Boy and Girl Scouts and sent them a-foraging to the fruit farms and country estates, soliciting the fallen fruit. ‘‘War marmalade” was made in the private canning kitchen operated under Frau Heyl’s personal supervision and sold for 5 cents a pound. When the correspondent called upon Frau Heyl in her “laboratory,” meaning her kitchen, she was engaged in experimenting with the baffling “soya bean.” She is convinced that there must be some way by which its essentially nutritious components can be converted into a palatable food product. Until recently it had been impossible to eliminate the bitter. oily taste and the residue of the. bean, after the oil which supplies its chief commercial value, had been extracted, was as 200 grams of meat. Not only that, but it is extremely satisfying; a little of it goes a long way, so that it will form a cheap as well as nutritious article of food. Scya flour is now selling at 45 pfennigs a pound; the very cheapest meat, without bones, costs at present 1.50 marks a pound (and this may be expected to advance steadily in price), so that, multiplying this by two to make allowance for the double amount of albumen con- tained in soya, the result will be that the latter article costs just one-sixth as much as meat.” Frau Heyl relates with relish the story of a Ham- burger Socialist, who, in a public welfare meeting, at- tacked ker for recommending a certain sauce, to be made from the head and bones of fish. He said it was all “rubbish,” and expressed the opinion that if such a dish ever was concocted it was eaten in the servants’ dining room and not by Frau Heyl herself. Frau Heyl answered that, the bones of fish contained the same nourishment and aromatic qualities as did those of flesh or fowl and that she had eaten it with relish. In answer to reports that the “potato paring” cam- paign in Germany had been met with ridicule in for- eign countries, Frau Heyl declared that wonders had been accomplished. Carts were sent around and in the poorer districts kindling was offered in exchange. The result was not only a much-needed increase in the food for pigs, but from the potato parings is obtained a certain amount of wood alcohol. The latest economy is collecting cherry pits. A very good quality of table oil can be extracted from the seeds. Peach and apricot seeds furnish the German housewives with a substitute for bitter almond flavoring. But Frau Heyl’s crowning achievement is the discovery that no fewer than 20 ordinary field plants—weeds, in other words—are edible, either in the form of salad or veg- etables. Among them are ‘sorrel, red pimpernel, yar- row, evening primrose, nettle and hops. Where Frau Heyl! is not personally known in Ger- m:ny she has become famovs through her series of “War Cook Boo's,’”’ which are compiled at the request of the German War Office and distributed gratis by the thousands to the remotest corner of the empire. These have made her an ex-officio member of the Home Office and she is invited to take part in al) im- portant conferences bearing upon household economics and the welfare of the proletarian classes. She has now in course of preparation a soya coo’book, contain- ing, besides chemical analyses, 50 or more recipes for soups, vegetables and puddings to be compounded from soya flour. Frau Heyl is the honorary president of the National Woman’s Public Service League and of the National Union of German Housekeepers. She is the president of the Society for the Promotion of Woman’s Econom- ical Education, and of the Woman’s Branch of the Co- lonial Society She is charter member and pres- what would occur, Frau Heyl, in the very opening weeks of the war, gathered about her three or four of her most efficient aids and organized what is known as the “Woman’s National Public Service League.” Th. effect of this was to mobilize the women of Ger- many as effectually as the men were assembled to take the field. Then she organ- ized and maintained at her own expense the first relief kitchen for what she called the “shame-faced poor,” musicians, stage folk and teachers thrown out of em- ployment by the war. Ina period of 10 months, the time in which the kitchen was in operation, 300,000 persons were served to a palatable and _ substantial dinner at a cost vor each meal of only 30 pfennigs, or about 7 cents of Ameri- can money. This kitchen was under the personal direction of Frau Heyl’s’ daughter, whose gift of organization seems to have been in- herited from her mother. ident of the German Lyceum Club, which main- tains a permanent exhibi- tion of woman’s work at the big department store of Wertheim; she is on the Executive Board of the Society of Women Hospital Physicians; of the local and national or- ganizations of home nurses. She confesses that her pet philanthropy is the “Jugendheim,” found- ed a quarter of a century ago, and of recent years noused in a new and com: modious building in the Charlottenburg borough of Great Britain. This in- _ stitution is far-famed. Here provision is made for every phase of children’s education from the cradle — to the training school, and 1000 children of fdigent parents are fed every day. Frau Heyl gave a tre- mendous impulse to wom- an’s work when, a few years ago, she conceived the idea of organizing the now historic exhibition called “Women at Home and in.the Professions.” establishing the _ kitchen, began laying in, aS soon as war’s alarm was sounded, supplies of staple food articles, for instance, placing with a Rumanian firm an order for 1°. marks’ worth of white navy beans, the price of which since has been quadrupled. She converted a large factory formerly belonging to her husband, and of which she is now one of the business managers, into a canning factory for the manufacture of meats and vegetables into the savory stew known as “goulash.” Millions of tins of this concoction have been sent to the front, either as part of the regular army stores or as “Liebesgaben,” as the gifts to the men on the firing line are called.

Now there are mills in Germany, the largest of which is at Hamburg, where an exceed- ingly fine, powdery flour is milled, known as “aguma flour,” from which all disagreeable properties have been successfully removed. Facing an unavoidable shortage of meat in Germany, Frau Heyl is experimenting with the object of making the soya bean or the flour from it a substitute for this staple. “Its chief value as a food product lies {In the large percentage of albumen it contains,” she said. “One hundred grams of soya flour contains as much albumen This was universally acknowledged to be the most thoroughly organ- ized and strikingly successful event of the kind ever attempted. “Germany as @ nation, and the Germans as individ- uals, have alway@ prided themselves on being, what you Americans call ‘good managers,’” Frau Heyl de- clared. “We not only know how to make a little go a long way, but—and this is of more vital importance— we a!ways lay by for a rainy day. The rainy day has now come—perhaps deluge would be a better figure— and the present state of affairs ‘n Germany proves (Continued on Page 1}.) SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—MARCH 19, 1916.

After the first few snows its vast areas are deserted except for a few soldiers and caretakers— many of the big animals leave it. Before long most of its territory is impassible except with the aid of snow shoes or skis and it is little but a bleak white wilder- ness. Except for the forethought of Government Officials who scatter food along trails and passes the beasts that remain would die of starvation. The writer of the following has enjoyed the unusual experience of a tour through the park in mid-winter, He has combined a photographic record with the word picture of his experiences. ——— eee By O. J. Grimes. LL nature lovers who have seen the natural phe- nomena in Yel- lowstone Park during the ‘warm summer months there have felt the yearning for a glimpse of the great national playground in winter’s embrace. For years I had longed to see Yellowstone Park from the hurricane deck of a pair of skis. Each summer, as I wandered across the res- ervation in quest of new views and new experiences, all Nature, in the roar of the geysers and rush of cata- racts, seemed to challenge a winter visit. My acceptance only abided my convenience. Our little party of four started early in February from ee ee ee Gardiner, the PS etn northern gateway, because the park is easiest of access from there during the winter. One member of the party was a guide, without which it would be extremely hazardous to at- tempt the trip when the entire floor of the park is covered by a six to eight foot blanket of snow. The eternal whiteness. of things was blinding — almost maddening. The stillness of the wilderness was broken only by the roar of the geysers when we neared the various basins, the crackling of frozen timber, the occasional lonely howl of a coyote or the cries of scattering birds. Scenic wonders of the summer, except in areas imme- diately surrounding the boiling geysers or springs, were glaring, scintillating, misshapen masses. Even the timber wore a coat of snow and ice. In fancy I had seen the ver- A single pine, every limb, twig, scale and needle, hidden by frozen vapor. Groups of pines coverea with frozen vapor from tne yeysers gtve the appearance oj mdssive marble buttes. poured from every geyser, hot spring and fissure. Geologists are agreed that Norris is thé new- est of the geyser basins. The hydrothermal activity there gains annually in area and po- tency. It was not surprising, therefore, to dis- cover that the finest display was given by the so-called “cold-water geyser,” the Valentine. which was first reported Feb. 14, 1910. It plays sity erie ak = irregularly te a height of from fifty to one hundred feet in a _ slender, sym- metrical column, not unlike the Bee- hive, Which has been called’ the most beautiful geyser in the park. At each eruption the preliminary up- heavals of the Val- entine are cold, but jater the caloric ele- ments gain the ascendancy and the final outpourings are highly heated. The boiling waters from all the other cone from the open side and found ourselves in &a fairyland of frozen forms. Icy nodules, singly and in clusters, simulating familiar sea forms, lined the walls and floor of the dell. It formed a marine garden where little imagination was required to discover coral, star- fish, sea urchins, mollusks and other bits of sea life. The most striking spectacle of the Norris basin was the pines, hoary with coatings of congealed steam from the geysers. All travelers through a mountainous coun- try have seen the pines, snow-laden after a-heavy fall. They were visible on every hand in the park. But the pines at Norris were different. With every trunk, limb, twig, scale and needle coated with frosted vapor they shimmered with the splendor of tinseled Christmas. trees. Often several pines, bent under the loads of snow and ice, had embraced each other for common support. An icy snow covered the group, obliterating even the outlines of the trees and giving the whole a semblance of a massive marble butte which scintillated like mil- lions of diamonds. Beyond the border of the basin a forest of standing dead pines, white-coated, formed a labyrinth of glit- tering stalagmites.

~—vene. ‘musical comedies. Dy Thimble, Thimble Oo. HENRY Third of a series of short stories by the modern master of brief fiction—Complete in‘ this issue HESE are the di- rections for find- ing the office of Carteret & Car- teret, Mill Sup- plies and Leather Belting: You follow the Broadway trail down until you pass the Crosstown Line, the Bread Line, and the Dead Line, and come to the Big Canons of the Moneygrubber Tribe. Then you turn to the left, to the right, dodge a push-cart and the tongue of a two-ton, four-horse dray and hop, skip and jump to a granite ledge on the side of a 21-story mountain of stone and iron. In the twelfth story is the office of Carteret & Carteret. The factory where they make the mill supplies and leather belting is in Brooklyn. Those commodities—to say nothing of Brooklyn—not being of interest to you, let us hold the incidents within the confines of a one-act, one-scene play, thereby lessening the toil of the reader and the expenditure of the pub- lisher. So, if you have the courage to face four pages of type and Carteret & Carteret’s office boy, Percival, you shall sit on a varnished chair in the inner office and peer at the little comedy of the Old Nigger Man; the Hunting-Case Watch and the Open-Faced Question —mostly borrowed from the late Mr. Frank Stockton, as you will conclude. First, biography (but pared to the quick) must inter- I am for the inverted sugar-coated quinine pill— the bitter on the outside. The Carterets were, or was (Columbia College profess- ors please rule), an old Virginia family. Long time ago the gentlemen of the family had worn lace ruffles and carried tinless foils and owned plantations and had slaves to burn. But the war had greatly reduced their holdings. (Of course you can perceive at once that this flavor has been shoplifted from Mr. F. Hop- kinson Smith, in spite of the “et” after “Carter.”) Well, anyhow: In digging up the Carteret history I shall not take you farther back than the year 1620. The two original American Carterets came over in that year, but by dif- ferent means of transportation. One brother, named John, came in the Mayflower and became a Pilgrim Fa- ther. You've seen his picture on the covers of the Thanksgiving magazines, hunting turkeys in the deep snow with a blunderbuss. Blanford Carteret, the other brother, crossed the pond in his own brigantine, landed on the Virginia coast and became an F. F. V. Bland- ford became distinguished for his pride, juleps, marks- manship and vast slave-cultivated plantations. Then came the Civil War. (I must condense this historical interpolation). Stonewall Jackson was shot; Lee surrendered; Grant toured the world; cotton went to nine cents; Old Crow whiskey and Jim Crow cars were invented; the Seventy-ninth Massachusetts Volun- teers returned to the Ninety-seventh Alabama Zouaves the battle flag of Lundy's Lane which they bought at a s-cond-hand store in Chelsea and kept by a man named Skzchnzski; Georgia sent the President a 60-pound water- melon—and that brings us up to the time when the story begins. My! but that was sparring for an open- ing! I really must brush up on my Aristotle. The Yankee Carterets went into business in New York long before the war. Their house, as far as Leather Belting and Mill Supplies was concerned was a musty and arrogant and solid as one of those old East India tea-importing concerns that you read about in Dickens. There were some rumors of war behind its counters, but not enougk to affect the business. During and after the war, Blandford Carteret, F. F. V., lost his plantations, juleps, marksmanship and life. He bequeathed little more .than his pride to his surviving family. So it came to pass that Blandford Carteret, the Fifth, aged 15, was invited by the leather-and-mill-sup- plies branch of that name to come north and learn busi- ness instead of hunting foxes and boasting of the glory of his fathers on the reduced acres of his impoverished family. The boy jumped at the chance; and, at the age of 25 sat in the office of the firm equal partner with John, the Fifth, of the blunderbuss-and-turkey branch. Here the story begins again. The young men were about the same age, smooth of face, alert, easy of manner, and with an air that promised mental and phy- sical quickness. They were razored, blue-serged, straw-hatted and pearl stick-pinned like other young New Yorkers who might be millionaires or bill clerks. One afternoon at 4 o'clock, in the private office of the firm, Blandford Carteret opened a letter that a clerk had just brought to his desk. After reading it, he chuckled audibly for nearly a minute. John looked around from his desk inquiringly. ; “It’s from mother,” said Blandford. “I'll read you the funny part of it. She tells me all the neighborhood news first, of course, and then cautions me against getting my feet wet and After that come Svital statistics about calves and pigs POnd an estimate of the wheat crop. dr'nd now I'll quote some: ford.” Old as he is, he has a deal of common sense, so I’ve let him go. I! couldn't refuse him---he seems to have concentrated all his hopes and desires into this one venture into the wide world. born on the plantation, and has never been 10 miles away from it in his life. And he was your father’s body servant during the war and has been always a faithful vassal and servant of the family. He has often seen the gold watch—the watch that was your father’s and your father’s father’s. I told him it was to be yours and he begged me to allow him to take it to you and to put it into your hands himself. ‘**So he has it, carefully inclosed in a buckskin case, and is bringing it to you with all the pride and im- portance of a king’s messenger. I gave him money for the round trip and for a two weeks’ stay in the city. I wish you would see to it that he gets comforta- ble quarters—Jake won’t need much looking after—he’s able to take care of himself. But I have read in the papers that African bishops and colored potentates gen- erally have much trouble in obtaining food and lodging in the Yankee metropolis. That may be all! right, but I don’t see why the best hotel there shouldn't take Jake in. Still, I suppose it’s a rule. “‘T gave him full directions about finding you, and packed his valise myself. You won’t have to bother with him: but I do hope you'll see that he is made com- fortableé. Take the watch that he brings you-<it’s al- most a decoration. It has been worn by true Carterets, and there isn’t a stain upon it nor a false movement o: the wheels. Bringing it to you is the crowning joy of old Jake’s life. I wanted him to have that little outing and that happiness before it is too late. You have often heard us talk about how Jake, pretty badly wounded himself, crawled through the reddened grass Chancellorsville to where your father lay with the bullet'in his dear heart, and took the watch from his pocket to keep it from the “Yanks.” “.So, my son, when the old man comes consider him -as a frail but worthy messenger from the old-time life and home. “"You have been so long away from home and so long among the people that we have always regarded as aliens that I’m not sure that Jake will know you when he sees you. But Jake has a keen perception and I rather believe that he will know a Virginia Carteret at sight. I can’t conceive that even 10 years in Yankee- land could change a boy of mine. Anyhow, I’m sure you will know Jake. I put 18 collars in his valise. If he should have to buy others, he wears a number 15%. Please see that he gets the right ones. He will be no trouble to you at all. ““Tf you are not too busy, I’d like for you to find him a place to board where they have white-meal corn bread, and try to keep him from taking his shoes off in your office or on the street. His right foot swells a little, and he likes to be comfortable. “Tf you can spare the time, court his handkerchiefs when they come back from the wash. I bought him a dozen new ones before he left. He should be there about the time this letter reaches you. . I told him to go straight to your office when he arrives.’ ”’ v As soon as Blandford had finished the reading of this, something happened (as there should happen in stories and must happen on the stage). Percival, the office boy, with his air of despising the world’s output of mill supplies and Jeather belting, came in to announce that a colored gentleman was outside You know he was’ to see Mr. Blandford Car- teret. “Bring him in,” said Blandford, rising. John Carteret swung around in his chair and said to Percival: ‘Ask him to wait a few minutes outside. We'll let you know when to bring him in.” Then he turned to his cousin with one of those broad, slow smiles that was an inheritance of all the Carte- rets, and said: “Bland, I’ve always had a consuming curiosity to un- derstand the differences that you haughty Southern- ers believe to exist between ‘you all’ and the people of the North. Of course, I know that you consider your- selves made out of finer clay and look upon Adam as only a collateral branch of your ancestry; but I don’t know why. I never could understand the differences between us.” “Well, John,” said Blandford, laughing, “what you don’t understand about it is just the difference, of course. I suppose it was the feudal way in which we lived that gave us our lordly baronial airs and feeling of superiority.” “But you are not feudal now,” went on John. “Since we licked you and stole your cotton and mules you’ve had to go to work just as we ‘damyankees,’ as you Call us, have always been doing. And you’re just as proud and exclusive and upper-classy as you were before the war. So it wasn’t your money that caused it.” “Maybe it was the climate,” said Blandford, lightly, “or maybe our negroes spoiled us. I'll call old Jake in now. I'll be glad to see the old villain again.”’ “Wait just a moment,” said John “I’ve got a little theory I want to test. You and I are pretty much alike in our gencral appearance. Old Jake hasn’t seen you since you were 15. Let’s have him in and play fair and see which of us gets the watch. The old darkey surely ought to be able to pick out his ‘young marster’ without any trouble. The alleged aristocratic superior- ty of a ‘reb’ ought to be visible to him at once. He couldn’t make the mistake of handing over the time- piece to a Yankee, of course. The loser buys the din- ner this evening and two dozen 15% collars for Jake. Is it a go?” Blandford agreed heartily. Percival was summoned and told to usher the “colored gentleman” in. Uncle Jake stepped inside the private office cau- tiously. He was a little old man, as black as soot, wrinkled and bald except for a fringe of white wool, cut decorously short, that ran over his ears and around his head. There was nothing of the stage ‘‘uncle” about him; his black suit nearly fitted him; his shoes shone, and his straw hat was banded with a gaudy ribbon. In his right hand he carried something carefully con- cealed by his closed fingers. Uncle Jake stopped a few steps from the door. Two young men sat in their revolving desk chairs 10 feet apart and looked at him in friendly silence. His gaze slowly shifted many times from one to the other. He felt sure’ that he was in the presence of one, at least, of the revered family among whose fortunes his life had begun and was to end. One had the pleasing but haughty Carteret air: the other had the unmista’able straight, long family nose. Both had the keen black eyes, horizon- tal brows and thin, smiling lips that had distinguished both the Carteret of the Mayflower and him of the brigan- tine. Old Jake had thought that he could have picked out his young master instantly from a thousand Northerners: but he found himself in difficulties. The best he could do was to use strategy. “Howdy, Marse Blandford—howdy, suh?” he said, looking midway between the two young men. “Howdy, Uncle Jake?” they both an- swered pleasantly and in unison. “Sit aown. Have you brought the watch?” Uncle Jake chose a hard-bottom chair at a respectful distance, sat on the edge of it and laid his hat carefully on the floor. The watch in its buck- skin case he gripped tightly. He had not risked his life on the battlefield to rescue that watch from his “old mar- ster’s” foes to hand it over again to the enemy without a struggle. “Yes, suh; I got it in my hand, suh. I'm gwine give it to yeu right away in jus’ a minute. Old Missus told me to put it in young Marse Blandford’s hand and tell him to wear it for the family pride and honor. It was a mighty long- some trip for an old nigger man to make—ten thousand miles, it must be. back to Virginia, suh. You've growed mightily, young marster. I wouldn't have recognized you but for yo’ resem- blance to old marster.” : With admirable diplomacy the old man kept his eyes roaming in the space between the two men.

We are both Carterets, you know.” “Although one of us,” and raised in the North.” “So, if you will hand over the watch—” “My cousin and |—” said Blandford. “Will then see to it—” said Jolin. “That comfortable quarters are found for you,” said Blandford.” With incredible ingenuity old Jake set up a cack- ling, high-pitched, protracted laugh. He beat his knee, picked up his hat and bent the brim in an apparent paroxysm of humorous appreciation. The seizure af- forded him a mask behind which he could roll his eyes impartially between, above and beyond his two tor- mentors. “I sees what!” he chuckled, after a while. “You gen’lemen is tryin’ to have fun with the po’ old nig- ger. But you can’t fool old Jake. I knowed you, Marse Blandford, the minute I sot eyes on you. You was a po’ skimpy little boy no mo’ than about fo’teen when you lef’ home to come No’th; but I knowed you the minute I sot eyes on you. You is the mawtal image of old marster. The other gen’leman resembles yu mightily, suh; but you can’t fool old Jake on a mem- ber of the old Vi'ginia family. No suh.” At exactly the same time both Carterets smiled and extended a hand for the watch. Uncle Jake’s wrinkled, black face lost the expression of amusement into which he had vainly twisted it. He knew that he was being teased, and that it made little real difference, as far as its safety went. into which of those outstretched hands he placed the family treas- ure. But it seemed to him that not only his own pride and loyalty but much of the Virginia Carterets’ was at stake. He had heard down South during the war about that other branch of the family that lived in the North and fought on “the yuther side,” and it -had al- ways grieved him. He had followed his “old master’s” fortunes from stately lux- ury through war to almost poverty. And now, with the last relic and reminder of him, blessed by “old missus,” and intrusted im- plicitly to his care, he had come ten thousand miles (as it seemed) to deliver it into the hands of the one who was to wear it and wind it and cherish it and listen to it tick off the un- sullied hours that marked the lives of the Carterets— of Virginia. His experience and con- said Blandford, “was born said John. ception of the Yankees had been an impression of " tyrants — “low-down, com- mon trash”—in blue, laying waste with fire and sword. He had seen the smoke of many burning homesteads al- most as grand as Carteret Hall ascending to the drowsy Southern skies. And now he was face to face with one of them—and he could not distinguish him from his “young marster” whom he had come to find and be- stow upon him the emblem of his kingship—even as the arm “clothed in white samite, mystic, wonderful” laid Excalibur in the right hand of Arthur. He saw before him two young men, easy, kind, courteous, wel- coming, either of whom might have been the one he sought. Troubled, bewildered, sorely grieved at his weakness of judgment, old Jae abandoned his loyal subterfuges. His right hand sweated against the buck- skin cover of the watch. He was deeply humiliated and chastened. Seriously, now, his prominent, yellow-white eyes closely scanned the two young men. At the end of his scrutiny he was conscious of but one difference between them. One wore a narrow black tie with a white pearl stickpin. The other's ‘four-in-hand”’ a narrow blue one pinned with a black pearl. And then, to old Jake’s relief, there came a sudden distraction. Drama knocked at the door with imperious knuckles and forced Comedy to the wings, and Drama peeped with a smiling but set face over the footlights. Percival, the hater of mill supplies, brought in a card, which he handed, with the manner of one bear- ing a cartel, Blue-Tie. “‘Olivia De Ormond,” read Blue-Tie from the card. He looked inquiringly at his cousin. “Why not have her in,” said Black-Tie, matters to a conclusion?” “Uncle Jake,’ said one of the young men, “and bring “would was - you mind taking that chair over there in the corner for a while? A lady is coming in—on some business. We'll take up your case afterward.” Tne lady whom Percival ushered in was young and petulantly, decidedly, freshly, consciously and inten- tionally pretty. She was dressed with such expensive plainness that she made you consider lace and ruffles as mere tatters and rags. But one great ostrich plume ‘aat she word would have marked her anywhere in the army of beauty as the wearer of the merry helmet of Navarre. Miss De Ormond accepted the swivel chair at Blue- Tie’s desk. Then the gentlemen drew leather uphol- stered seats conveniently near, apd spoke of the weather. “Yes,” she said, “I noticed it was warmer. But I mustn’t take up too much of ‘your time during business hours. That"is,” she continued, “unless we talk busi- ness,” She addressed her words to Blue-Tie, with a charm- ing smile. “Very. well,” said he. “You don't mind my cousin being present, do you? ‘We are generally rather confi- dential with each other—especially in business mat- ters.” “Oh, no,” caroled Miss De Ormond. “I'd rather he did hear. He knows all about it, anyhow. In fact, he’s quite a material witness, because he was present when you—when it happened. I thought you might want to talk things over before—well, before any action is taken, as I believe the lawyers say.” “Have you anything in the way of a proposition to make?” asked Black-Tie.” Miss De Ormond looked reflectively at the neat toe of one of her dull kid pumps. “Tl had a proposal made to me.” “Tf the she said. the word in its best sense—that wipes out each day the follies of the evening previous?” . “Oh, yes,” said Miss De Ormond. “I know that very well. And I've always played up to it. But as you seem to be conducting the case—with the silent consent c the defendant—I'll tell you something more. Ive got letters from him repeating the proposal. And they’re signed. too.” “Il understand,” said Black-Tie, your price for the letters?’ ‘I'm not a cheap one,” said Miss De Ormond. “But [ had decided te make you a rate. Yon both belong to u swell family. Well, if I am on the stage, nobody can say a word against me truthfully. And the money is only a secondary consideration. It isn't the money I was after. I—I believed him—and- —and Ll liked him” She cast a soft, entrancir. glance at Blue-Tie from under her long eyelashes. “And the price?” went on Blac-Tie, “Ten thousand dollars,” sai the lady, “Or—" “Or the fulfillment of the engagement to marry.” “I think it is time,” interrupted Blue-Tie, “for me to be allowed to say a word or two. You and I, cousin, belong to a family that has held its head pretty high. You have been brought up in a section of the country very different from the one where our branch of the family lived. Yet both of us are Carterets, even if some of our ways and theories differ. You remember, it is a tradition of the family, that no Carteret ever failed to keep his ‘word when it was given.” Then Blue-Tie, with frank decision showing on his countenance, turned to Miss De Ormond. “Olivia.” said he, “on what date will you marry me?” Before she could answer, Black-Tie again interposed. “It is a long journey.” said he, “from Plymouth Rock to Norfolk Bay. Pe tween the two points wr find the changes that ne: ly three centuries have brought. In that time the old order has changed. We no longer burn witches or torture slaves. And today we neither spread our cloaks on the mud for ladies to walk over nor treat, them to the ducking-pool. It is the age of common sense, adjustment and proportion. All of us—ladies, gentle- men, Northerners, South- erners, lords, caitiffs, ac- tors, hardware ~ drummers, Senators, hod-carriers and politicians—are coming te a better understanding.

Let's have that settled first.” “Well, as far as-—’’ began Blue-'Tie. “Excuse me, cousin,’’ interrupted Black-Tie, “If you don’t mind my cutting in.”’ And then he turned, with a good-natured air, toward the lady. “Now, let’s recapitulate a bit.”” he said cheerfully. “All three of us, besides other mutual acquaintances, have been out on a good many larts together.” “I’m afraid I'll have to call the birds by name,” said Miss De Ormond. ; “All right,” responded Black-Tie, with cheerfulness; “suppose we say ‘squats’ when we talk about the ‘proposal’ and ‘larks’ when we discuss the ‘proposition?’ You have a quick mind, Miss De Ormond. Two months ago some half-dozen of us went in a motor car for a day’s run into the country. We stopped at a road-house for dinner. My cousin proposed mar- riage to you’ then and there. He was influenced to do so, of course, by the beauty and charm which no one can deny that you possess.” “Il wish I had vou for a press agent, Mr. said the beauty, with a dazzling smile. “You are on the stage, Miss De Ormond.” went on tack-Tie. “You have had, doubtiess, many admirers, and, perhaps, other proposals. You must remember, too, that we were a party of merryvmakers on that occasion. There were a good many corks pulled. That the proposal of marriage was madé to you by my cousin we cannot deny. But hasn’t it been your experience that, by common consent, such things lose their serious- ness when viewed in the next day’s sunlight? Isn't there something of a ‘code’ among good ‘sports’—! use another unimpaired Carteret,” or by the prompt paying of vne’s debts. “Now, I suppose you've had enough of my monologue. I’ve learned something of business and a little of life: and I somehow believe. cousin, that our great-great-grandfathers, the original Carterets, would indorse my view of this matter.” Black-Tie wheeled around to his desk, wrote in a check-book and tore out the check, the sharp rasp of the perforated leaf making the only sound in the room. He laid the check within easy reach of Miss De Ormond’s hand. ‘Business is business, age. you say, or cash?” Miss De Ormond picked up the check carelessly, folded it indifferently, and stuffed it into her glove. “Oh, this'll do,” she said, calmly “{ just thought I'd call and‘put it up to vou. [| guess you people are right. But a girl bas feelings, vou know. I've heard one of you was a Southerner—I! wonder which one of vou it is?’ She arose, smiled sweetly and walked to the door. There, with a flash of white teeth and a dip of the heavy piume, she disappeared. 30th of the cousins had forgotten Uncle Jake for the time. But now they heard the shuffling of his shoes as he came across the rug toward them from his seat in the corner. “Young marster,’ he said, “ta'’e vo’ watch.” And without hesitation he laid the ancient timepiece in the hand of its rightful owne: " said he. “‘We live in a business There is my personal check tor $10,000.

EN: Rapa ram, erates ey, RI FE, TH il O LING F ADVENTU INDIA’S - eeeemnted in his youth as agent among the Bhils, this Englishman has shot huntsman lies in wait + ‘e HE, man who held the most remarkable political job in the world, in many fe- spects, has recently retired from active service. For fear this announcement may meet the eye of one of our American pro- fessional job-hunters and cause false hopes to rise, let it be added hastily that this is not the kind of job he’s looking for and, besides, it is controlled by the Bombay (India) Government. The vacancy is in the position of Official Tiger Slayer’ for the Bhil district in India. What perhaps will be incomprehensible to certain of our American patriots, who cannot conceive, of any political job, however difficult the work, going around looking for a tenant, is the fact that there appears to be no candidate for the place. That, no doubt, is due ldfgely to the enérgy of its last holder. Indeed, , he performed his duties so industriously that all the tigers that haven't been exterminated have fled from the district. He committed the crime, politically speak- ing, of removing the job from further ¢onsideration by finishing it—killiig the goose that laid the golden eggs, as it were. The man is Digby Davies, formerly a Deputy Inspec- tor-General of the In- dian police. Throughout his many years of service he kept memor- anda of his most im- portant exploits and these notes have re- cently been compiled into a book — “Tiger Slayer by Order” (Chapman & Hall, Ltd., London) — by C. E. Gouldsbury, also for- merly of the Indian po- lice. It relates the real adventures of a real man in the ordinary routine of his employ- ment. Davies was a young man when he entered the Indian police serv- ice. Practically his first assignment was to the Bhil district. The Bhils are a primi- tive people, small, brown, sturdy jungle men, excellent trackers and hunters. Up to a few years ago their ; district was infested by tigers and even more ferocious leapards, or panthers, as Davies prefers to call them. These animals had wrought so much damage, carry- ing off livestock, killing children and even adults, ter- rorizing whole neighborhoods, that the most important duty intrusted to the Bhil Agent was to rid the land of these pests. How far he succeeded may be gath- ered when it is related that 250 tigers fell to Davies’ rifle alone, not counting those killed by others in hunt- ing parties of which he was a member. Incidentally and by way of diversion, Davies once took a trip to Africa and killed eight lions and 30 elephants. Today the Bhil district is practically tigerless and leopardless. It has. been nearly 30 years since the young English- man killed his first tiger, and yet so momentous was the experience that he declares he remembers it as vividly as if it were yesterday. The animal had been located in a jungle near Khandesh. Davies had taken post in a tree, rifle in his hand, and the Bhil shikaris or beaters had been sent out to start a drive. Like nearly all wild animals, the tiger will not start a ficht with human beings unless it comes to close quarters. He prefers to slip quietly away, when there are men around and avoid a contest. Thus it is com- paratively easy to drive him in a given direction. All that is necessary is for men to get around in all direc- tions-—but at a reasonably safé distance—except in the one the tiger is to go, and to start making a racket. That was done in this case and the exciting parts of the episode are thus described: “EBach time the tiger had attempted to turn off to the right or left the ston posted nearest to the spot had succeeded in preventing it, either by tapping light- ly with his stick upon a branch or by giving a low cough, these sounds, slight as they were, being quite sufficient for the animal’s keen sense of hearing to detect. “Perched on the branches of a tree, my rifle ready for use. | waited with bated breath.for the animal to ap- pear, and when it came out at last, the first tiger 1 had ever seen in its wild state, how anxiously I watched its every movement, wondering at its enormous muscular developments, extraordinary girth of limbs, especially notable in the forearm and wrist, its beauti- ful white beard and bristling whiskers, all so different to the long, lithe, skinny animals on which I had often gazed with such longing admiration in the Zoo. “He was driven up to within 100 yards of my machan (hiding place) and then, objecting to any further hust- ling, came charging past my post at racing speed. Wait- ing until I thought I had made certain of my shot, I fired, but, seemingly without effect, for the beast held on- with undiminished speed, covering with each bound some.36 feet at least. Continuing at this pace for about 25 yi . he suddenly collapsed, falling into some brush- wood, where we found him later, lying on his side— stone dead.” A short time after this affair, Davies and some na- tives were out hunting for wild sheep when they came fo: = 2 =, - ese 25 .

Mounting a tree, the agent told his beaters to drive the animal in that direction. As the drive progressed the tigress showed herself for an instant and then went into hiding in some green foliage. ‘‘Making a signal to the beaters,” the story runs, “I waited patiently. Presently one of the men, neglect- ing my instructions to keep well together, approached the spot alone from above and, throwing a stone into the foliage, was promptly charged by the tigress. “He ran for some trees where his comrades had taken refuge, closely followed by the infuriated beast. Two more strides and she would have caught him up, but at this moment he had fortunately reached the tree and, seizing a branch, swung himself up. The tigress, how- ever, by getting a momentary hold for her claws on the trunk, seized him by the leg, inflicting two deep wounds, but, luckily, the man held on, for had he loosed his grip nothing could have saved him. I had a perfect view of these proceedings from, my tree, but the distance was too-great for accurate shooting.” | By the time Davies had got down the tigress had gone back into the foliage. He advanced boldly on her stronghold and when he got near, uttering a loud roar, “The tiger charged dvuivn- hill toward me. I had hardly time to aim, but succceded in getting both barrels of my rifle right into her face, then hardly three from me.’’ Z ° she again rushed out. She gained the shelter of a large rock and disappeared. The next day she was again cornered and Davies gave the honor of the first shot to a visitor, who mortally wounded her. His first serious accident when tiger hunting hap- pened not long afterward. A tigress and some cubs had been located and, with beaters, Davies was closing upon them when one of the cubs broke cover and the agent killed it. “I then left my tree and, accompanied by my two trusty shikaris,”’ the narrative continues, “proceeded in the direction the tigress had gone, with the intention of taking up her tracks and maraing her down again, if possible. Guided by the men on trees we cautiously approached the spot where she was last seen and were carefully examining the ground when we were startled by a deafening roar, instantly followed by the tigress, who came charging down the bank and at such. speed that her belly almost touched the ground. “Stepping forward, clear of some bushes, paces I had barely Black-manced lion of Eastern time to aim, but succeeded in getting off both barrels of my rifle right into her face, which was then hardly three paces from me. However, she managed to get home, and the next moment I was on my back, with the tigress standing over me growling savagely. “I remembered nothing more, but on coming to found myself surrounded by Bhils and my late antagonist dead at my feet—a fine, heavy beast, with a rich, dark skin. I now learned that on the tigress seizing me, Bapu (one of the shikaris) had- most pluckily run in and shot her through the head, all this having been the work of a few seconds.” Davies had been badly hurt in the encounter, but he recovered under the skillful treatment of an army surgeon. Africa. The Indian panther or leopard, n Although the leopard or panther is a smaller animal than the tiger, it is often the more dangerous beast of the two to meet in combat, according to Davies. For one thing, it is at home in trees, whence it can pounce upon its unsuspecting prey. For another, it will seek trouble sooner and it more often becomes a man-eater. “The leopard,” says Davies, “is a far more danger- ous animal for the hunter to encounter, as he is more easily provoked to anger and exceedingly courageous in his retaliation. I have been repeatedly charged by these animals and, on two occasions, have had my men mauled by them. When-one happens to take to killing human beings he is far more to be dreaded than any other man-eating animal, and his victims may run to a score or two—sometimes many more.. Though less imposing in respect of size than the tiger, it presents a handsomer appearance, possibly by reason of a more equal blending of the colors.” The hunter then tells this weird story: “One of the worst examples of a man-eating panther I have come across was on one occasion when I was encamped at Wagra, a small Bhil hamlet, consisting of a few huts, in the Bharwana State. A large panther had carried off a child in broad daylight who was play- ing with other children within a stone’s throw of the village. The same animal had also, it appeared, killed and eaten a woman collecting firewood a short time before, but her body was never found. “Tt was late in the afternoon when I heard of the animal’s latest victim and, going at once to the spot, I took up the tracks along a deep nullah which skirted the village and presently came upon the body of .the child. There were the usual fang marks on the throat and a portion-of the chest and abdomen had been eaten. “After much persuasion the relatives of the dead child yielded to my request to leave the corpse where it lay, in order that I might sit up near it in the hope that the panther might return, when by shooting it I could, as T pointed out to them, rid the village of the pest. “There was no suitable tree on which I could build a machan, so I concealed myself behind a bush, adding a few branches as a further protection, but so arranged that I could look through them. I decided to sit alone, as my Havildar-cum-Shikari (native stalker) though very keen to watch with me, had unfortunately a bad cough at the time and I was afraid Jest an untimely paroxysm occurring, he should scare the beast away. “It was a bright moonlight night, and the intense stillness of the jungle, plus the ghastly object over which I was watching, had a none too pleasing effect on my nerves,.and as the night drew on I felt distinctly ‘creepy.” Presently a single jackal appeared and, giv- ing a quick pull at the corpse, as quickly slunk away, looking cautiously behind him. “Just then I saw a huge panther coming stealthily along among the bushes fringing the nullah banks and, halting about 15 yards off, stood gazing in my direc- tion. I thought at first it was a tiger, so enormous did the beast appear in the moonlizht. and I was meditating whether to fire or let him come closer when he again erept forward and then stood facing me about five vards off. “Now was my chance and, aiming very deliberate- ly at his chest, I pulled the, there issued from the covert a succession of low groans, with an occasional deep, coughing sigh, and although I could not see him, I guessed from the sound that my bullet had done its work. My men, on hearing the report of the rifle, now came up with lighted torches, all keen to advance into the jungle, but I would not allow them to embark on such a dangerous task at night, for though almost con- vinced the beast was dead, the risk seemed too great. “By the first streak of dawn we were up and on our way to the jungle where, on arrival, I was startled to find the corpse, or what remained of it, had disappeared. Could it be that I had fthissed the beast, after all, or that he had again returned to his kill and completed his dreadful feast? I hardly thought it possible, and yet it seemed unpleasantly like it. Happily,.a closer examination proved to us that it was the hyenas and jackals who had been feasting, for the footprints of these animals were plainly visible all around. ee” TEE — tt trigger slowly.

Ne TINCTIVELY, Don Luis took.a step back, drew his revolver. and aimed it at the criminal: “Hands up!” he commanded. “Hands up, or I fire!” Sauverand did not appear to be put out. He nodded toward.two revolvers which he had laid on a table be- vond his reach and said: “There are my arms. I have come here not to fight, but to talk.” Florence ran into the room. She passed him by with- out his trying to stop her, flung herself upon Gaston Sauverand, and, taking no heed of Perenna’s presence, said: r “Why did you come? You promised me that you wouldn’t. You swore it to me. Go!” Sauverand released himself and forced her into a chair. “Let me be, Flotence. I promised only so as to reassure you. Let me be.” She was silent, as though disarmed by the gentleness of his voice; and he whispered more words which Don Luis could not hear and which seemed to convince her. Perenna took Sauverand’s two Te volvers and laid them in a drawer. Then he went back to the door, intend ing to lock it. But hearing a sound om the first-floor landing, he leant over the balusters. The butler was coming up stairs with a tray in his hand. “What is it now?” “An urgent letter, sir, for Sergt. Max eroux.” “Sergt. Mazeroux is with me. Give me the letter and don’t let me be dis turbed again.” He tore open the envelope. The let- ter, hurriedly written in pencil and signed by one of the inspectors on duty outside the house, contained these words: “Took out, Sergeant. Gaston Sauver and is in the house. Two people living opposite say that the girl who is known hereabouts as the lady housekeeper came in at half-past 1, before we took up our posts. She was next seen at Sale the window of her lodge. MOLY “A few moments after, a small, low W\\ \N \ door, used for the cellars and situated | under the lodge, was opened, evidently “by her. Almost at the same time a man entered the square, came along the wall, and slipped in through the cellar door. According to the description it was Gaston Sauverand. So look out, Sergeant. At the least alarm, at the first signal from you, we shall come in.” We "=¥ . Don Luis reflected. He now under- stood how the scoundrel had access to his house, and how, hidden in the safest of retreats, he was able to escape every attempt to find him. He was living under the roof of the very man who had declared himself his most formid- able adversary. He shut the door, pushed the bolt, faced his two prisoners again and, tak- ing a chair, said to Sauverand: “Let us talk.” Owing to the narrow dimensions of the room they were all so close together that Don Luis felt as if he were al- most touching the man whom he loathed from the very bottom of his heart. Their two chairs were hardly a yard asunder. A long table, covered with books, stood between them and the windows, which, hollowed out of the very thick wall, formed a recess, as is usual in old houses. “Well? Speak!” said Don Luis, in a commanding tone. “I have agreed to a truce, but a momentary truce, just long enough to say what is necessary. Are you afiaid now that the time has arrived? Do you regret the step which you have taken?” The man smiled calmly and said: “T am afraid of nothing, and I do not regret coming, for I have a very strong intuition that we can, that we are beund to, come to an understanding.” “An understanding!” protested Don Luis with a start. “Why not?” 2 “A compact! An alliance between you and me!” “Why not? It is a thought which I had already en- tertained more than once, which took a more precise shape in the magistrate’s corridor, amd which finally decided me when I read the announcement which you caused to be made in the special edition of this paper: ‘Sensational declaration by Don Luis Perenna. Mme. Fauville is inneocent!’” | Gasten Sauverand half rose from his chair and, care- fully pieking his words, emphasizing them with sharp eostures, he: whispered: ’ “Everything lies, Monsieur, in those four words. Do those four words which you have written, which vou have wttered publicly and solemnly—‘Mme. Fauville is innocent-do they express your real mind? Do you pow absolutely believe in Marie Fauville’s innocence?” Don Luis shrugged his shoulders. “Mme. Fauville’s innocence has nothing to do with PAGE TEN. in Mile.

I also announced—read for yourself— The ‘imminent arrest of the criminals,.’” | Sauverand and Florence rose together, with the same unguarded movement. “And, in your view, the criminals are?” Sauverand. “Why, you know as well as I do: they are the man with the ebony walking stick, who at any rate cannot deny having murdered Chief Inspector Ancenis, and the woman who is his accomplice in all his crimes. Both of them must remember their attempts to assassinate me: the revolver shot on the Boulevard Suchet; the motor smash causing the death of my chauffeur; and yesterday again, in the barn—you know where—the barn with the two skeletons hanging from the rafters: yesterday—you remem- ber—the scythe, the relentless scythe, which nearly beheaded me.” “And then?’ “Well, then, the game is lost. asked “I see that you were not Levasseur’s lodge as your man pretended.” You must pay up; and all the more so as you have foolishly put your heads into the lion’s mouth:” “I don’t understand. What does all this mean?” “It s'mply means that they know Florence Levasseur, that they know you are both here, that the house is surrounded, and that Weber, the deputy chief detective. is on his way.” Sauverand appeared disconcerted by this unexpected threat. Florence, standing beside him, had turned livid. A mad anguish distorted her features. “Very well,” said Sauverand. ‘“I am caught in a trap. Fate must take its course. Nevertheless, can | speak to yuu? It is the only wish that remains to me.” “Speak,” replied Don Luis. “The door is locked. | Shall not open it until I think fit.” “I shall be brief,” said Gaston Sauverand. “For one thing. what | can tell you is not much. | do not ask vou to believe it, but to listen to it as if I were possibly telling the truth, the whole truth.” And he expressed himself in the following words: “I never met Hippolyte and Marie Fauville, though I used to correspond with them—you will remember that we were all cousins—until five years ago, when chance brought us together at Palermo. passing the winter there while their new house on she Boulevard Suchet was being built. “We spent five months at Palermo, seeing one another daily. ippolyte and Marie were not on the best of terms.

They were. “Tl saw the two of you yesterday in the train that brought you back from Alencon”—— | Gaston Sauverand looked at Florence. She sat silent, with her hands to her face and her elbows on her knees. Without replying to Don Luis’ exclamation, he went on: “Marie also loved me. Che admitted it, but made me swear that I would never try to obtain from her more than the purest friendship would allow. I kept my oath. We enjoyed a few weeks of’ incomparable happt- ness. Hippolyte Fauville, who had become enamoured of a music hall singer, was often away. “IT took a geod deal of trouble with the physical training of the little boy Edmond, whose health was not what it should be. And we also had with us, be tween us, the best friend, the most devoted and affec- tionate counsellor, who staunched our wounds, kept up our courage, restored our gayety, and bestowed some of her own strength and dignity upon our love. Flor- ence was there.” Don Luis f his heart beating faster. Not that he attached the least credit to Gaston Sauverand’s words; but he had every hope of arriving, through those words, at the real truth. Sauverand continued: “Fifteen years before, my elder brother Raoul Sauve rand, had picked up at Buenos Aires, where he had gone to live, a little girl, the orphan daughter of some friends, At his death he entrusted.the child, who was then 14, to an old nurse who had brought me up and who had accompanied my brother to South America. The old nurse brought the child to me and herself died of an accident a few days after her arrival in France. * * *® [I took the little girl to Italy to friends, where she worked and studied and became—what she is. “Wishing to live by her own re sources, she accepted a position as teacher in a family. Later I recom- mended her to my Fauville cousins with whom I found her at Palermo as governess to the boy Edmond and es pecially as the friend, and dear and devoted friend, of Marie Fauville. * * * She was mine, also, at that happy time, which was so suniy and all too short. Our happiness, in fact— the happiness of all three of us—was to be wrecked in the most sudden and tantalizing fashion. “Every evening | used to write in a diary the daily life of my love, an un- eventful life, without hope or future before it, but eager and radiant. Marie Fauville was axtolled in it as a god- dess. Kneeling down to write I sang litanies of her beauty, and I also used to invent, as a poor compensation, whol- ly imaginary scenes, in which she, said all the things which she might have said but did not, and promised me all the happiness which we had voluntarily renounced. “Hippolyte Fauville found the diary. * * © His anger was something terrible.

But an_ indestructible love united us, a love which neither absence nor time was to weaken.” He stopped for a moment, as though to read in Don Luis’ face the effect produced by his story. Don Luis did not conceal his anxious attention. He asked: “And afterward?” “Afterward I traveled about. I resumed my life of work and pursued my studies wherever I went, in my bedroom at the hotels, and in the public laboratories of the big towns.” “And Mme. Fauville?” “She lived in Paris in her new house. Neither she nor her husband ever referred to the past.” “How do you know? Did she write to you?” “No. Marie is a woman who does not do her duty by halves; and her sense of duty is strict to excess. She never wrote to me. But Florence, who had accepted a place as secretary and reader to Count Malonyi, your predecessor in this house, used often to receive Marie’s visits in her lodge downstairs. “They did not speak of me once, did they, Florence? Marie would not have allowed it. But all her life and all her soul were nothing but love and passionate memo ries. Isn't that so, Florence? “At last,” he went on slowly, “weary of being so far away from her, I returned to Paris. That was our un- doing. * * * It was about @ year ago.

The-Teeth of the biger ied me to the Boulevard Suchet, without my noticing it, and | went past Marie's house. “It was a warm and fine night and, as luck would have it. Marie was at her window. She saw me, I was sure of it, and knew me; and my happiness was so great that my legs shook under me as I walked away. “After that I passed in front of her house every Wednesday evening; and Marie was nearly always there, giving me this unhoped-for and ever-new delight, in spite ct the fact that her social duties, her uite natural love cf amusement, and her hushand’s position obliged her to go out a great deal.” ; “Quick! Why can’t you hurry?” said Don Luis, urged by his longirg to know more. “Look sharp and come to tne facts. Speak!” Sauverand shook his head. “I shall not hurry. All my words were carefully thought out before I decided to speak. Every one of them is essential. Not one of them can be omitted, for you will find the solution of the problem not in facts presented anyhow, separated one from the other, but in the coneatenation of the facts, and in a story told as faithfully as possible.” “Why? I don’t understand.” “Because the truth lies hidden in that story.” “But that truth is your innocence, isn’t it?” “It is Marie’s innocence.” “But.I don’t dispute it!” “What is the use of that if you can’t prove it?” “Exactly! It’s for you to give me proofs.” “T have none.” “What!” “I tell you, I have no proof of what | am asking you to believe.” “Then I shall not believe it!” cried Don Luis angrily. “No, and again no! Unless you supply me with the most convincing proofs, I shall refuse to believe a single word of what you are going to tell me.” “You have believed everything that I have told you so far,” Sauverand retorted very simply. Don Luis offered no denial. He turned his eyes to Florence Levasseur; and it seemed to him that she was looking at him with less aversion, and as though she were wishing with all her might that he would not resist the impressions that were forcing themselves upon him. “We are coming,” said Sauverand, in his grave voice, “we are coming to the most important events, to those of which the interpretation, which is new to you, but strictly true, will make you believe in our good faith. Il] luck having brought me across Hippolyte Fauville’s path in the course of one of my walks in the Bois, I took the precaution of changing my abode and went to live in the little house on the Boulevard Rich- ard-Wallace, where Florence came to see me several times. “T was even careful to keep her visits a secret and, moreover, to refrain from corresponding with her except through the poste restante. I was therefore quite easy in my mind. “TI worked in perfect solitude and in complete security. I expected nothing. No danger, no possibility of danger, threatened us. And, I may say, to use a commonplace but very accurate expres- sion, that what happened came as an absolute bolt from the blue. When the Prefect of Police and his men broke into the house and proceeded to arrest me, I heard at the same time and for the first time of the murder of Hippolyte Fau- ville, the murder of Edmond, and the ar- rest of my adored Marie.” “Impossible!” cried Don Luis, in a re- newed tone of aggressive wrath. “Im- possible! Those facts were a fortnight old. I cannot allow that you had not heard of them.” “Through whom?” “Through the papers,’ exclaimed Don Luis. more certainly still, through Mlle. Levasseur.” “Through the papers?” said Sauverand. “I never used to read them. What! Is that incredible? Are we under an obligation, an inevitable necessity. to waste half an hour a day in skimming through the futilities of politics and the piffle of the news columns? Is your imagination incapable of conceiving a man who reads nothing but reviews and scientific publications? “The fact is rare, I admit,’ he continued. “But the rarity of a fact is no proof against it. On the other hand, on the very morning of the crime I had written to Florence saying that I was going away for three weeks and bidding her good-by. I changed my mind at the last moment; but this she did not know; and, think- ing that I had gone, not knowing where I was, she was unable to inform me of the crime, of Marie’s arrest, or, later, when an accusation was brought against Whe man with the ebony walking-stick, of the search that was being made for me.” “Exactly!” declared Don Luis. “You cannot pretend that the man with the ebony walking stick, the man who followed Inspector Verot to the Cafe du Pont-Neuf and purloined his letter”’—— “I am not the man,” Sauverand interrupted. And, when Don Luis shrugged his shoulders, he in- sisted, in a more forcible tone of voice: “I am not that man. There is some inexplicable mis- take in all this, but I have never set foot in the Cafe du Pont-Neuf. I swear it. You must accept this state- ment as positively true. Besides, it agrees entirely with the retired life which I was leading from necessity and from choice. And, I repeat, | knew nothing. “The thunderbolt was unexpected. And it was pre- cisely for this reason, you must understand, that the shock produced in me an equally unexpected reaction, a state of mind diametrically opposed to my real nature, an outburst of my most savage and primitive instincts. Remember, Monsieur, that they had laid hands upon what to me was the most sacred thing on earth. Marie was in prison. Marie was accused of committing two murders! * * * I went mad. “At first controlline myself, playing a part with the Prefect of Police. then overthrowing every obstacle, “And, SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH— MARCH 19, 1916. shooting Chief Inspector Ancenis, shaking off Sergt. Mazeroux, jumping from the window, I had only one thought in my head—that of escape. Once free, I should save Marie. Were there people in my way? So much the worse for them. “By what right did those people dare to attack the most blameless of women? I! killed only one man that day! I would have killed 10! I would have killed 20! What was Chief Inspector Ancenis’ life to me? What cared | for the lives of any of those wretches? They stood between Marie and myself; and Marie was in prison!” Gaston Sauverand made an effort which contracted every muscle of his face to recover the coolness that was gradually leaving him. He succeeded in doing so, but his voice, nevertheless, remained tremulous, and the fever with which he was consumed shook his frame in a manner which he was unable to conceal. He continued: “At the corner of the street down which I turned after outdistancing the Prefect’s men on the Boulevard Richard-Wal- lace, Florence saved me just as I believed that all was lost. Florence had known everything for a fortnight past. She Police, Florence went home and hid under the cushions of your sofa the end of the stick which I had kept in my hand without thinking. It was an ineffective parry and missed its aim. But the fight had begun; and I threw myself into it headlong. “Monsieur, to understand my actions thoroughly, you must remember that 1 was a student, a man leading a solitary life, but also an ardent lover. I would have spent all my life in work, asking no more from fate than to see Marie at her window from time to time at night. But, once she was being persecuted, another man arose within me, a man of action, bungling, cer- tainly, and inexperienced, but a man who was ready to stick at nothing, and who, not knowing how to save Marie Fauville, had no other object before him than to do away with that enemy of Marie's to whom he was entitled to ascribe all the misfortunes that had befal- len the woman he loved. * * * This’started the series of my attempts upon your life. Brought into vour house, concealed in Florence’s own rooms, | tried 3 —unknown to her: that I] swear—to poison you.” He paused for an instant to mark the effect of his words, then went on: “Her reproaches, her abhorrence of such an act, would perhaps have moved me, but, I repeat, I was mad, quite mad; and your death seemed to me to learnt the news of the imply Marie’s safety. And, one morn- ing, on the Boulevard Suchet, where I had followed you, I fired a revolver at you. When the last of them had vanished ;ound the bend of the passage, Don Luis softly pushed the door that concealed him and locked it like double murder from the papers, those papers which she used to read out to you, and which you discussed with her. And it was by being with you, by listening to you, that she acquired the opinion which everything that happened tended to confirm: the opinion that Marie’s enemy, her only enemy, was yourself.” “But why? Why?” “Because she saw you at work,” exclaimed Sauve- rand, “because it was more to your interest than to that of any one else that first Marie and then | should not come between you and the Mornington inheritance, and lastly” “What?” Gaston Sauverand hesitated and then said, plainly: ‘Lastly, because she knew your rea] name beyond a doubt, and because she felt that Arsene Lupin was capable of anything.” They were both silent; and their silence, at such a moment, was impressive to a degree. Florence re- mained impassive under Don Luis Perenna’s gaze; and he was unable to discern on her sealed face any of the feelings with which she must needs be stirred. Gaston Sauverand continued: “It was against Arsene Lupin, therefore, that Flor- ence, Marie’s terrified friend, engaged in the struggle. it was to unmask Lupin that she wrote or rather in- spired the article of which you found the original in a ball of string. It was Lupin whom she spied upon, day by day, in this house. It was Lupin whom she heard one morning telephoning to Sergt. Mazeroux and re- joicing in my imminent arrest. It was to save me from Lupin that she let down the fron curtain in front of him, at the risk of an accident, and took a taxi to the corner of the Boulevard Richard-Wallace, where she ar- rived too late to warn me. as the detectives had already entered my house, but in time to screen me from their pursuit. “Her mistrust and terror-stricken hatred of you were told to me in an instant.” Sauverand declared. ‘During the 20 minutes which we employed in throwing our assailants off the scent, she hurriedly sketched the main lines of the business and described to me in a few words the leading part which you were playing in it; and we then and there prepared a counter-attack upon you, so that,vyou might be suspected of complicity. “While I was sending a message to the Prefect of tampered with by myself—remember, Florence’s rooms are close to the garage —carried you, I hoped, to your death, together with Sergt. Mazeroux, your confederate. * * * That time again you escaped my vengeance. But an innocent man, the chauffeur who drove you, paid for you with his life; and Florence’s despair was such that I had to yield to her entreaties and lay down my arms. “t myself, terrified by what I had done, shattered by the remembrance of my two victims, changed my plans ind thought only of saving Marie by contriving her es@pe from prison. > * — “fam arich man.

And every day, having procured a card of admission as a law reporter, I went to the law courts, to the exam- ining magistrate’s corridor, where I hoped to meet Marie, to encourage her with a look, a gesture, perhaps to slip a few words of comfort into her hand.” * * s Sauverand moved closer to Don L.uis. “Her martyrdom continued. You struck her a most terrible blow with that mysterious business of Hippolyte Fauville’s letters. What did those let- ters mean? Where did they come from? Were we not entitled to attribute the whole plot to you, to you who intro- duced them into the horrible struggle? “Florence watched you, I may say, night and day. We sought for a clew, a glimmer of light in the darkness. * * * Well, yesterday morning, Flor- ence saw Sergt. Mazeroux arrive. She could not overhear what he said to you, but she caught the name of a certain Langernault and the name of Damigni, the village where Langernault lived. She remembered that old friend of Hip- polyte Fauville’s. Were the letters not addressed to him and was it not in search of him that you were go- ing off in the motor with Sergt. Mazeroux? * * * “Half an hour later we were in the train for Alencon. A earriage took us from the station to just outside Damigni, where we made our inquiries with every possible precaution. On learning what vou must also know, that Langernault was dead, we resolved to visit his place, and we had succeeded in effecting an en- trance when Florence saw you in the grounds. Wish- ing at all costs to avoid a meeting between you and myself, she dragged me across the lawn and behind the bushes. You followed wus, however, and when barn appeared in sight she pushed one of the doors which half opened and let us through. We managed to slip quickly through the lumber in the dark and knocked up against a ladder. This we climbed and reached a loft in which we took shelter. You entered at that moment. * * “You Know the rest: how you discovered the two hanging skeletons; how your attention yas drawn to us by an imprudent movement of Florence; your at- tack, to which 1 replied by brandishing the first weapon with which chance provided me; lastly, our flight through the window in the roof, under the fire of your revolver. We were free. But in the evening, in the train, Florence fainted. While bringing her to I per- ceived that one of your bullets had wounded her in the shoulder. The would was slight and did not hurt her, but it was enough to increase the extreme tension of her nerves. When you saw us—at Le Mans station, wasn’t it?—she was asleep, with her head on my shoul- der.”’ Don Luis had not once interrupted the latter part of this narrative, which was told im a more and more agi- tated voice and quickened by an accent of profound truth. Thanks to a superhuman effort of attention, he noted Sauverand’s least words and actions in his mind. And as these words were uttered and these actions per- formed, he received the impression of another woman the rest. who rose up beside the real Florence, a woman un- . spotted and innocent of all the shame which he had attributed to her on the strength of events. Nevertheless, he did not yet give in. He would not acmit that Florence co’ d suddenly be different from (Continued on Page 15.)

It was a postcard and read as follows: “I am vell, it es beu- tiful, mach perfier dan en Wienna.

Now, when the Austrians and their allies are engeged in a death grapple with her country- men, and when reports of the aged Austrian Emperor’s mortal illness are current a!most daily, the former governess has recalled these aappier days in a contribution to that class of literature which gives the proletariat the only intimacy it is possible for him to obtain with the men and women who make up the ruling houses of Europe. Prior to accepting service in the family of Franz-Josef, the author was companion-governess to Wanda, daughter of Count Badeni, at that time Governor of Galicia, but later Prime Min- ister of Austria. whose early death was hastened by his bitter fight in the Austrian Parliament with the German party, which finally brought about his downfall. She was also a warm friend of Mme. Josephine Merry dek Val, wife of the Spanish Ambassador to Rome, and mother of Cardinal Merry del Val, papal secretary at the Vitican. Throughouts the book, “Recollections of a Royal Governess” (D. Appleton & Co.), she conceals her identity, except to reveal that her first name is May. The Governess’ introduction to the Arch- duchess Elizabeth, then a girl of 12 years, came on Sept. 1, 1895, at the Royal Palace at Laxen- burg. She describes her as a tall, slight, fair and e<tremely pretty girl, with a dignified and queeniy air and an extraordinary love for ant mals. At this time, also, she met the Arch- duchess’ mother, the Crown Princess Stephanie, daughter of Leopold of Belgium, whose life in the Austrian court was one of continued unhap- piness, due to her unpopularity with the mem- bers of the Hapsburg family. Between the Governess and the little Archduchess an imme- diate entente cordiale was established. The author tells of receiving a shock when the “Schlosshauptmann” of the castle called upon her with her salary for the first month. It amounted to 200 gulden ($97), and, she remarks, “truly, ’tis more giory than gold one earns by serving royalty.” But “War: imony, she says she found, is a trait quite general an.ocuz the members of the ruling family of Austria, ard she even discovered traces of it in the Archduchess, who, however, had not the slightest idea of the relative value of money and who [ - ae was prodigal in matters in Bee which money was not di. rectly concerned. She gave a demonstration of this one Christmas time when she went to her governess and asked how much a box of paints would cost. About $5, she: was told. “Grandpapa is giving me silver table ornaments and + . a horse,” she said; “do CH.

Her first insight into the character of her little charge the governess received one cold, dismal day when they were walking in a park. They found a young cat nearly dead of cold and hunger and the Archduchess insisted upon carrying it back to the castle,. where tea was waiting for them. At once the Archduchess gave the cat all her cream and, little by ‘little, all the cream set out for the governess. “T told her,” the author- ess relates, “that if she gave the cream she must herself do without it. It was an idea so new to her that it was fairly stagger- ing. However, she agreed. When the little cat had satisfied its hunger, it sud- denly turned on the Arch- duchess, gave her a deep scratch and ran away. She looked ruefully at her arm and said: “It didn’t understand that I meant to be kind!’” Another effort to incul- cate self-sacrifice, how- “J am not a ‘thing,’ I us ever, met with less suc- an Archduchess!’’ tess.

Later a roll of bread fell on the floor during tea, and I was going to pick it up. She said, ‘Oh, it does not matter.’ So I replied, ‘But, Archduchess, it is very wrong to leave bread on the floor; some poor child might be glad to have it.’ She looked quite frowningly at me.” One of Elizabeth’s favorite companions was her cousin, Princess Dora of Coburg. who visited Laxen- burg about this time. Princess Dora is the daughter of Princess Louise of Coburg, whose elopement, first with her riding master and later with her son’s tutor, fur- nished the Austrian court with one of the worst scan- dals it has ever been called upon to endure. Princess Dora, the court ladies confided to the governess, was an imp of mischief personified, with a worldly knowl- edge at 15 which she would have been better without, but with an ignorance in matters worth while of a child of 10. The governess was made acquainted with Dora’s predilection for madcap pranks the next day when riding with the Princess and the Archduchess. The for- mer, at the reins, suddenly left the road and drove through a woods with gay recklessness, missing trees by a hair’s breadth. The governess seems by this time to have firmly es- tablished herself in the affections of her charge, for one day, she says, Elizabeth suddenly exclaimed: “I like you very much; do you like me?’ Shortly after this the Archduchess made her first communion and a photograph was taken of her, kneeling demurely before a prie-dieu, with prayerbook in hand. This photo- graph, with another in ordinary dress, she presented to the governess. “This,” she declared, pointing to the picture ‘n communion dress,” is me when ! «=m good, | 2 + r a ! THE ROYAL GOVERNESS. Here is the “This is me when I'm translation: good and this is me ‘I am well. when I'm naughty.’ It (Munich) is beautiful, much prettier than in Vienna. Vienna in comparison is horrid.” And this from a girl who had had an En- glish governess for four years prior to the coming of the present one. The Archduchess also indulged in a most astonishing taste in note paper, her mentor says—vivid green, pink or blue; “her monogram surmounted by the [mperial Crown embossed in silver, and a huge red seal: ‘Der Frau Erzherzogin Eliza- beth,’ made a startling addition to one’s morn- ing post.” War between England and Austria was threatened in 1896 and the Archduchess piead- ed with her governess to be “a little for grand- p pa” if hostilities came to pass. A year later, when the Greeks. were engaged in hostilities with Turkey, a conversation between Franz- Josef and the Empress at dinner was faithful- ly reported to the governess by the Arch- duchess, who said that “Grandpapa laughed at the Greeks and grandmamma got angry and took their part.” When the Archduchess went abroad she was the object of reverence and courtesy at the nands of people of all classes, providing her identity: was known. She grew careless at times in acknowledging salutes and courtesies and her companion one day at Abbazia took scecasion to remonstrate with her. She did not reply, and they walked in silence for a time. Suddenly, climbing a rocky promontory, they came upon an old parish priest, who removed his broad-brimmed clerical hat and saluted them. To the unbounded astonishment of the govermess, Elizabeth went close to him and made a deep court courtesy. As they passed on, leaving the old man in open-mouthed amazement, the Archduchess asked, gravely: “Well, now are you satisfied?” Not always was she recognized, however. and this gave rise to an incident in the zoological garden at Schoenbrunn. At the bear pit the child leaned over the parapet with a broom and pro- ceeded to poke a small brown bear. Presently the bear snarled angrily, rose on its hind legs and seized the end of the broom. While the Archduchess was pull- ing and twisting to get the broom away a little old woman of the lower class seized the broom from the Archduchess’ hands, pushed her away and exclaimed: “Little girl, you ought to be ashamed to tease dumb animals that way. I won- der that your. parents have not taught you bet- ter!” With which, having gained possession of the broom, she allowed it to fall into the pit. Then the keepers rushed for- ward and hustled the in- dignant old woman away, telling her who the august personage was whom she had accosted so violently. She was terrified, and in a shrill voice cried: “Frau Erzherzogin Elizabeth! Our Fmperor’s’ gtand- daughter! Mein Gott!” When weather tions kept her indoors, Elizabeth was hard to amuse. On one occasion. atter decorating the governess apartment by the use of a box of oil paints, drawing figures on the looking glasses and lamp shades, she went into the kitchen looking for further adventure. She made chocolate, which she liked, but was forbidden to eat, but this day she not only ate it all, but scraped the pot clean. Next she cooked some sausages and ate those and looked about her for some more means of mischief. Discovering a bin of flour, she suddenly dived into it with both hands and pelted her governess with it. Then she flew to the window and emptied what remained in the bin upon the heads of the soldiers standing sentry in the courtyard below. They dared not turn their heads and “angry as I was,” the author declares, “I could not help but laugh at the expression of absolute terror which spread over their faces as the white shower descended upon their uniforms. “But when I came to realize the awful mess my salon was in, I was truly (Continued on Page 14.)

Mc- Carty stood 6 feet 3 1-2 inches and weighed 210 pounds. At the time, Aug. 19, 1912, we were both greenhorns in the ring. I had fought perhaps a dozen times, he a few times off®ner. Neither of us had ever fought a really good man, so neither of us had a great deal of ring experience that counted. “The night was hot and the place—Madison Square Garden—was crowded, not to see us box, particularly, for there were other bouts between better known men. The better known men drew the crowd. But we did help to hold ’em awhile. “Now, as you probably know, I’m a pretty cool card as a general thing. But when the bell rang, and I saw McCarty rush from his corner and come sidling over to- ward me, a cold douch seemed to fall on my scalp. I felt as a soldier must feel when he hears the first firing charge of a battle; and all the advice my second had been filling me up with left me in a flash. “McCarty, as you will remember, was a swinging fighter. . “He came at me with a rush and let drive with his right and then his left. They crashed against my jaw with a double shock and jarred me to my feet. Flashes of fire danced before my eyes and my head seemed to be filled with noises. My eyes filmed, I began to rock on my feet and the world spun round like a top. Then another crash. A bomb seemed to burst over my right eye—and I was blind! For a few seconds I groped like a drunken man. Then I saw McCarty’s face glaring at me out of a setting of misty clouds. Even as I gazed he rushed at me, and I thrust out my fist to keep him off. Before he could stop, his face banked against my glove and his nose split from top to bottom. With that the bell rang; and it sounded like a church bell to me. “Again my second filled me up with good advice; and again, as soon as the bell rang for the second round, | forgot it. Somehow I got through that round, and some- how I got through the third. In the fourth I reckoned McCarty to be tiring and I sailed into him. But he seemed to have an Indian rubber face.

My arms no longer obeyed my will, my legs were dead. And there was Mc- Carty fighting wild and battering my face and my head and my body. Somehow, I'll never know how, I managed to stand up until the ninth round ended. When the bell rang for the tenth, I stepped out, set my teeth and determined to last out the round, no matter what happened. “By this time McCarty was as tired as I was. He tired hiniself out belting me. When he saw he had me going, he had banged away at me at random. For that reason his blows had not landed cleanly. But now he was cautious and swung only blows that he knew would land where he wanted them to. “Coolly he stepped in, iashed out and landed a wide, powerful swing crashing against my jaw. That put life into me, and by a tremendous effort I could raise my arms. I had no strength to hit, so when he rushed me, I'thrust out my glove and shoved him. Again he came in and again I shoved him back. “Just then one of my seconds doused my back with cold water. This gave me a new bracer. McCarty rushed a third time, and once more he staggered back from my outstretched fist. I discov- ered that he was beginning to stagger and that his face was streaming blood. At the same time I discovered the best punch I ever had—that long jab that I had been using as a shove. “There’s a lot of steam in a long jab. Not only does the blow count for a lot if it lands, but with the whole weight of the body behind the punch it upsets your man’s balance and robs him of his chance to come back at you with any force. And the longer the jab the hard- er you land. . “T made up my mind then and there to do or die. ‘Jab him, jab him!’ I kept saying to myself through the mistiness of weakness that was creeping over me. ‘You’ve only got to last a couple of minutes more!’ “So I went for Luther and began shoving him with both hands. The crowd were on their feet, roaring. Just as the “Just as the bell rang I gave him one last shove that sent him reeling toward the ropes.

It was at the Clermont Ave- nue Skating Rinlg in Brooklyn, on March 9, 1911. That fight was not only the hardest 10-round battle I ever fought, but the hardest fight of any duration that I was ever in. Both of us were nearly unrecog- nizable when it was over. Indeed, Palzer was never the same man after it, for in our second fight I was able to knock him out in seven rounds. At the time of the first fight, however, Al was a hulking big fellow, standing well over six feet, and weighing about 215 pounds. He had a terrific kick. I know. I felt it a good many times during the fight. That battle will stand out in my memory the longest day I live. From the time the gong sounded at the beginning of the fight until it marked the end, I can com- pare that set-to to nothing but a whirligig. And such a whirligig! We fought a rushing, smashing fight from the start, and there was “Thad no strength to hit,’ says Willard, ‘‘so0 when I thrust out my glove and shoved him.”’ Then 1 tried that shove again. This time I was surprised to see it cut a gash under his eve. “In the fifth and sixth rounds we both threw caution to the winds. We tore into each other like bulls. It was hammer and tongs and give and take until our breath came in whistling gasps and we were dog-tired. ‘When we came up for the seventh I was horrified to find I could hardly lift my arms! I was almost utterly exhausted. Now a punch never hurt me yet. A punch hurts nobody if he’s in good condition. But when he’s a'l in as I was and when the fight is not over by a long shot—that’s when vou get that flabbergasted feeling that McCarty rushed me not a let-up from that point on. The rink was crowded with people and their howling sounded like the roarings of a thousand bulls of Baghan. But with the firsh clash J forgot everything but the Iowan before me, who kept boring in with the ferocity of a man who had gone crazy. There was no block- ing. We didn’t even attempt to block. There was no time to bloc®. We simply whaled away at each other— and at the end of the first round we were both sorry spectacles.

Too intense light is as bad, perhaps worse, than poor lighting. Eyes are not merely optical adjuncts; they are integral. parts of the body, really expanded portions of the brain. They mutually affect the functioning of most other organs; inefficient eyes cause many chronic headaches, much devression and bodily fatigue, most indigestions, manv (some believe. practically all) of the aberrations of genius and of the alleged demi-fous. the half-witted Any organ exercised well within its limits tends to increase in power and facility; if persistently over- worked it becomes progressively unable for any work at all.

Dr. Alice M. Alger, whose nowledge of the e is peculiarly full and exact, considers that because i the many newly invented methods of commercial lighting, by gas and by electricity the composition of light as well as its intensity have come to require serto.us consideration.

Bringing Up an Archduchess of Austria annoyed and exclaimed: ‘You are a dirty little thing!’ At that all the fun fled from her eyes. She drew herself up, looking ridiculously royal, despite the smudges of chocolate on her pretty cheeks and nose and the flour all over her frock. ‘I’m not a thing; I am an Arch- duchess,’ she replied. Taking the cue instantly, | made a deep courtesy, and responded: ‘I regret my faux pas, Imperial Highness. I shall not forget again.’ “After that relations seemed strained. Then, as she was about to leave, tears rushed into her eyes, she~ flew across the salon and, flinging her arms around my neck, hugged me close, crying: ‘No, no, I am not a dirty little thing, but a dear little thing!’” The Archduchess’ fondness for animals included birds of all kinds, and though the royal aviary included sev- era' hundred varieties, she had a name for each bird. To her delight a pair of swallows began nesting one spring in the summer house at Laxenburg and she far preferred watching them to applying herself to her work. But one day there was a funeral in the village and the tolling of the church bells apparently frightened the birds, for they flew away. After a little the Arch- duchess said very gravely: “Do you mind stopping the lesson, as [ want to pray.” Her instructor concealed her astonishment as best she could and as gravely con- sented. Elizabeth went over to a corner and knelt down for a few minutes, after which she resumed her lessons. In the meantime, the bells having ceased their tolling, the swallows came fluttering back and the Archduchess was intensely pleased. One of Archduchess Elizabeth's inheritances from the Hapsburg line was an occasional all-consuming fear 0: being poisoned. At times, so the chronicler states, this obsession would come upon her and when dishes were passed to her she immediately became suspicious and declared they had been poisoned. One day she lifted a glass of wine to her lips, but immediately went quite white, became violently agitated and declared vehemently it had been poisoned. The governess, ‘to reassure her, took the glass and drank from it, imme- diately realizing that a mistake had been made and that brandy had been substituted for the Archduchess’ wine. But the Archduchess, true to her royal blood, was not the kind to falter when real danger impended. When the country was torn by internal dissensions, in which the students of the university took a part, resulting in their declaring a strike when forbidden to wear the national colors in their hats, the Archduchess and her governess were walking in the Frater one day when they were accosted by a group of students, who de- manded to know what were the Archduchess’ colors She drew herself up with real royal dignity and re- plied, rather disdainfully: “Gold and black." The stu- dents Jooked aghast for a second, for those are the im- perial colors, then took to their heels. Following a short visit to England, the governess returned to the palace and confided to the Archduchess that her (the governess’) sister, Lily, in England, was engaged to be married. This interested Elizabeth im- mensely. The next day the royai family gathered at Buda Pesth to attend the Hungarian Millennial, the one thousandth anniversary of the coming of ‘the Magvars into Europe. In the midst of the ceremonies, espying Wanda Badeni in the crowd, she leaned over the edge of the royal box and called out shrilly, “Lily is engaged!” This naturally brings the reader to Elizabeth’s own affairs of the heart, which form by far the most interesting chapters of the brief sketch of this rova! personage. She had but one, but the world probably never. has known until now that had she not taken matters into her own hands she might today be the daughter-in-law of Emperor William of Germany. When the Kaiser was paying a visit to the Austrian court and was dining in the Hofburg castle he espied the little Archduchess up in the musicians’ gallery and asked who she was. Upon being told, he asked to be presented. After his return to Berlin he sent his sec- onu son to visit the Austrian court with the intention of making a matrimonial alliance between him and the Archduchess. But be counted without the Archduchess, for when she saw the youth she exclaimed: ‘Marry that boy? Never!” and forthwith retired to bed; from whenre she refused to emerge until His Imperial High- ness bad taken his departure. The report came out one time that the Archduchess was engaged to Alfonso, the present King of Spain, but she authorized her governess, who was writing to her mother in England, to say that “he won’t get me.”’ She had her own ideas of marriage and she gave voice to them to her governess one day, causing that person to be inexpressibly horrified. They were having ter when they noticed a man pacing up and down in front (Conlinued from Page 12) of the apartments of the Crown Princess Stephanie. TLe governess inquired of the Archduchess who the gen- tleman was. “That,” she replied, promptly, ‘is Monsieur Lonyay now, but soon he will be Baron Lonyay, then Count Lonyay. then Prince Lonyay, then be will marry mamma.” “How do you know this, Archduchess,” gasped. “Oh. I know what | see, and I have heard mamma and Aunt Louise talking,” then, stirring her tea medita- tively, she raised her big, innocent eyes to her com- panion and remarked slowly: “I, too, shall make a mesalliance.”’ Both her prophecies came true. Her mother married Prince Lonyay and she made a mesalliance, which came about in this way, according to the -vriter: ‘One night, at a court ball, she saw and danced with Frince Otto Windischgratz. The next day she went to her royal srandpapa and ‘ecisively announced that she wished to marry the said gentleman. The kind old Emperor, whose dearest wish is to have everyone about h.m quite happy. sent for the young man and, smiling, i “ormed him o* the honor which he was about to bestow upon him in the form of his granddaughter’s Land in marriage. The young officer was overwhelmed; he blushed, stammered and bowed. The Emperor, think- ing all this emotion was gratituce for the honor he was about to receive, beamec upc2 him and, wavin, is hand, said gently: ‘It is all quite settled; you may to her.’ Then the deeply confused and equally a‘stressed officer burst out: ‘Pardon, sir, but I am fiamced already.’ “The Emperor, perhaps not quite taking in the im- port of this announcement, and perhaps thinking of his granddaughter’s happy face, again waved his hand and said: ‘’Tis no matter. You can easily arrange that,’ and thereupon dismissed the agitated young man. Of course it is not every day that a young army officer has a Royal Princess thrust into his arms with an Emperor’s blessing. So, naturally enough, the previous engagement was broken off and the Archduchess Eliza- beth made a mesalliance, as she told me she would do.” Strangely, considering the manner of its arrangement, the marriage proved a happy one. The couple began their married life in Prague and later settled down quietly in Hungary. the governess o- ti~ This Country’s.

Se that we were fully prepared to weather the storm. “We have now become in reality what our philosopher Fichte once foresaw —‘ah isolated commercial nation’—and are en- gaged in the most unique experiment ever known in’ history; namely, that of a nation of 70,000,000 souls shut up, as it were, in a fortress, and obliged to live solely upon its own resources.

The -teeth what she really was to him: a crafty, cunning, cruel, blood-thirsty monster. No, no, the man was lying with infernal cleverness. Gaston Sauverand was watching the face of his form- er enemy. Standing close to Don Luis, his features lit up with the expression of feelings and passions which he no longer strove to check, he asked, in a low voice: “You believe me, don’t you?” “No, I don’t,” said Perenna, resist the man’s influence. “You must!” cried Sauverand, with a fierce outburst of violence. “You must believe in the strength of my love. It is the cause of everything. My hatred for you comes only from my love. Marie is my life. If she were dead, there would be nothing for me to do but die. Oh, this morning, when I read in the papers that the poor woman had opened her veins—and through your fault, after Hippolyte’s letters accusing her—I did not want to kill you so much as to inflict upon you the most barbarous tortures! My poor Marie, what a martyrdom she must be enduring! * * * “As you were not back, Flurence and | wandered about all morning to have news of her: first around the prison, next to the police office and the law courts. And it was there, in the magistrate’s corridor, that | saw you. At that moment you were mentioning Marie Fau- ville’s name to a number of journalists; and you told them that Marie Fauville was innocent; and you in- formed them of the evidence which you possessed in Marie's favor! r “My hatred ceased then and there, Monsieur. In one second the enemy had become the ally, the master to whom one kneels. So you had had the wonderful courage to repudiate all your work and devote yourself to Marie's rescue! I ran off, trembling with joy and hope, and, as I joined Florence, I shouted, ‘Marie is saved! He proclaims her innocent! I must see him and speak to him!’ * * * “We came back here. Fiorence refused to lay down her arms and begged me not to carry out my pian be fore your new attitude in the case was confirmed by deeds. I promised everything that she asked. But my mind was made up. And my will was still further strengthened when I had ‘read your declaration in the newspaper. I would place Marie’s fate in your hands whatever happened and without an hour’s delay, I! waited for your return and came up here.” He was no longer the same man who had displayed such coolness at the commencement -of the interview. Exhausted by his efforts and by a struggle that had lasted for weeks, costing him so much fruitless energy, he was now trembling; and clinging to Don Luis, with one of his knees on the chair beside which Don Luis was standing, he stammered: “Save her, I implore you! You have it in your power. Yes, you can do anything. In a few days Marie will have ended her life. She cannot go on living in prison. You see, she means to die. No obstacle can prevent her. Oh, if the law requires a criminal I will confess anything that I am asked to. I will joyfully accept every charge and pay every penalty, provided that Marie is free! Save her from prison and death, save her, for God’s sake, save her!” Tears flowed down his anguish-stricken face. Flor- ence also was crying, bowed down with sorrow. And Perenna suddenly felt the most terrible dread steal over him. Although, ever since the beginning of the interview, a fresh conviction had gradually been mastering him, it was only as it were a glance that he became aware of it. Suddenly he perceived that his belief in Sauver- and’s words was unrestricted, and that Florence was perhaps not the loathsome creature that he had had the right to think, but a woman whose eyes did not lie and whose face and soul were alike beautiful. “If only it is not too late!” he muttered. He staggered under the shock of the sensations and ideas that crowded upon him. Everything clashed in his brain with tragic violence: certainty, joy, dismay, despair, fury. He was struggling in the clutches of the most hideous nightmare; and he already seemed to see a detective’s heavy hand descending on Florence's shoulder. “Come away! Come away!” he cried, starting up in alarm. “It is madness to remain!”’. “But the house is surrounded,” Sauverand objected. “And then? Do you think that I will allow for a second? No, no, come! We must fight side by side. I shall still entertain some doubts, that is cer- tain. You must destroy them; and we will save Mme. Fauville.” “But the detectives round the house?” “We'll manage them.” “Weber, the deputy chief?” “He’s not here. And as long as he’s not here I'll take everything on myself. Come, follow me, but at some little distance. then’’—— He drew the bolt and turned the handle of the door. At that moment someone knocked. It was the butler. “Well?” asked Don Luis. “Why am I disturbed?” “The deputy chief detective, M. Weber, is here, sir.” CHAPTER XI. Routed. ON LUIS had certainly expected this formidable blow, and yet it appeared to take him una- wares. All his buoyancy left him, and he felt like a retreating army which, after almost making good its escape, suddenly finds itself brought to a stop by a steep mountain. With Weber at the head of the detectives, any attempt to force a way out would have been absurd. “Did you let him in?’ he asked. . “You did not tell me not to, sir.” “Is he alone?” “No, sir, the deputy chief has six men with him. He has left them in the courtyard.” “And where is he?” “He asked me to take him to the first floor. pected to find you in your study, sir.” “Does he know now that I am with Sergt. Mazeroux and Mile. Levasseur?” “Yes, sir,” Perenna thought for a moment and then said: “Tell him that you have not found me and that you are going to look for me in Mile. Levasseur’s rooms. Perhaps he will go with you. All the better if he does.” And he locked the door again. hardening himself to He ex- SUNDAY MAGAZINE- -ST.

He went up to Florence. very pale and was silently weeping. He said: “You must not be frightened, Mademoisellé. If you obey me implicitly, you will have nothing to fear.” She did not reply and he saw that she still mistrusted him. Afhd he almost rejoiced at the thought that he woald compel her to believe in him. “Listen to me,” he said to Sauverand. “In case I should not succeed after all, there are still several things which you must explain.” “What are they?” asked Sauverand, who had lost none of his coolness. Then, collecting all his riotous thoughts, resolved to omit nothing, but at the same time to speak only what was essential, Don Luis asked, in a calm voice: “Where were you on the morning before the murder, when a man carrying an ebony walking stick and an- swering to your description entered the Cafe du Pont- Neuf immediately after Inspector Verot?” : “At home.” “Are you sure that you did not go out?” “Absolutely sure. And I am also sure that | have never been to the Cafe du Pont-Neuf, of which | had never even heard.” “Good. Next question. Why, when you learned all about this business, did you not go to the Prefect of Police or the examining magistrate? It would have been simpler for you to give yourself up and tell the exact truth than to engage in this unequal fight.” “I was thinking of doing so.° But I at once realized that the plot hatched against me was so clever that no bare statement of the truth would have been enough to convince the authorities. They would never have be lieved me. What proof could I supply? None at all— whereas, on the other hand, the proofs against us were overwhelming and undeniable. Were not the marks of the teeth evidence of Marie’s undoubted guilt’ And were not my silence, my flight, the shooting of Chief Inspector Ancenis so many crimes? No, if I would res- cue Marie, I must remain free.” “But she could have spoken herself?” “And confessed our love? Apart from the fact that her womanly modesty would have prevented her, what good would it have done? On the contrary, it meant lending greater weight to the accusation. That was just what happened when Hippolyte Fauville’s letters, appearing one by ome, revealed to the police the as yet unknown motives of the crimes imputed to us. We loved each other.” “How do you explain the letters?” “I can't explain them. We did not know of Fauville’s jealousy. He kept it to himself. And then, again, why did he suspect us? What can have put it into his head that we meant to kill him? Where did his fears, his nightmares, come from? It is a mrystery. He wrote that he had letters of ours in his possession: what let- ters?” “And the marks of the teeth, those marks which were undoubtedly made by Mme. Fauville?”’ “I don’t know. It is all incomprehensible.” “You don’t know either what she can have done after leaving the opera between 12 and 2 in the morning?” “No. She was evidently lured into a trap. But how and by whom? And why does she not say what’she was doing? More mystery.” “You were seen that evening, the evening of.the mur- der, at Auteuil station. What were you doing there?” “I was going to the Boulevard Suchet and | passed under Marie's windows.. Remember that it was a Wednesday. I came back on the following Wednesday, and, still knowing nothing of the tragedy or of Marie's arrest, I came back again on the second Wednesday, which was the evening on which you found out where I lived and fnformed Sergt. Mazeroux against me.” “Another thing. Did you know of the Mornington inheritance?” “No, nor Florence, either; and we have every reason to think that Marie and her husband knew no more about it than we did.” — “That barn at Damigni: was it the first time that you had entered it?” “Yes; and our astonishment at the sight of the two skeletons hanging from the rafters equaled yours.” Don Luis was silent. He cast about for a few sec- onds longer to see if he.had any more questions to ask. Then he said: “That is all I wanted to know. Are you, on your side, certain that everything that is necessary has been said?” “Yes.” “This is a serious moment. It is possible that we may not meet again. Now you have not given me a single proof of your statements.” “I have told you the truth. To a man like yourself, the truth is enough. As for me, I am beaten. I give up the struggle, or, rather, I place myself under your orders. Save Marie.” “I will save the three of you,” said Perenna. “The fourth of the mysterious letters is to make its appear- ance tomorrow: that leaves ample time for us to lay our heads together and study the matter fully. And tomorrow evening I shall go there and, with the help of all that you have told me, I shall prove the impocence of you all. The essential thing is to be present at the meeting on May 25.” He pushed the door ajar and, after listening outside, said: “Don’t move. And don’t opem the door to anybody, on any pretext whatever, before I come to fetch you. I shall not be long.” He locked the door behind him and went down to the first floor. . Through the window on the landing he saw the detectives guarding the courtyard. He counted six of them. And he also saw the deputy chief at one of the windows of his study, watching the courtyard and keeping in touch with his detectives. He went through the drawing room and entered his study. Weber saw him. The two enemies were face to face. The deputy chief's face bore an expression of mingled joy and anxiety. For the first time he had permission, he had orders, to fight that accursed Don Luis, against whom he had never been able to satisfy his hatred. He crossed swords with a jest. “T see that you were not in Mile. Levasseur'’s lodge, as your man p (Lonunued ruse ~ = - “My man spoke in accordance with my instructions. ! was in my bedroom, upstairs. But I wanted te finish the job before I came down.” “And is it done?” “It’s done. Florence Levasseur and Gaston Sauver- and are in my room, gagged and bound. You have ony to accépt delivery of the goods.” “Gaston Sauverand!” cried Weber. “Then it was he who was seen coming i-.?” “Yes. He was simply living with Florence Levasseur, whose lover he is.” “Oho!” said the deputy chief, in a bantering tone. “Her lover!” “Yes; and when Sergt. Mazeroux brought Florence Levasseur to my room, to question her out of hearing of the servants, Sauverand, foreseeing the arrest of his mistress, had the audacity to join us. He tried (to rescue her from our hands.” “And you checkmated him?” “Yes.” It was clear that the deputy chief did not believe one word of the story. He knew through M. Desmalions and Mazeroux that Don Luis was in love with Florence: and Don Luis was not the man even through jealousy to hand over a woman whom he loved. He increased his attention. “Good business!” he said. “Take me up to your room. Wee« it a hard struggle?” “Not very. I managed to disarm the scoundrel the same, Mazeroux got stabbed in the thumb.” “Nothing serious?" “Oh, dear, no; but he bas gone to bave his wound dressed at the chemist’s.” The deputy chief stopped, greatly surprised. “What! Isn't Mazeroux in your room with the two prisoners?” : “I never told you that he was.” “No, but your butler’-—— “The butler made a mistake Mazeroux went oui a few minutes before you came.” “It’s funny,” said Weber, watching Don Luis closely, “but my meén al] think he’s here. They haven't seen him go out.” “They haven't seen him go out?” echoed Deon Luis. pretending to feel anxious. “But, then, where can he be? He told me he wanted to have his thumb seen to.” The deputy chief was growing more and more sus- vicious. Evidently Perenna was trying to get rid of him by sending him in search of the sergeant. “I will send one of my men,” he said. “Is the chem- ist’s near?’ “Just around the corner, in the Rue de Bourgoyne. Besides, we can telephone.” “Oh, we can telephone!” muttered Weber. He was quite at a loss and looked like a man who does not know what is going to happen next. He moved slowly toward the instrument, while barring the way to Don Luis to prevent his escaping. Don Luis there- fore retreated to the telephone box, as if forced to do so, took down the receiver with one hand, and, calling, “Hullo! Hullo! Saxe, 2409,” with the other, which was resting against the wall, he cut one of the wires with a pair of pliers which he had taken off the table as he passed. “Hullo! Are you there? Is that 2409? Are you the chemist? * * * Hullo!:* * * Sergt. Maseroux of the detective service is with you, isn’t he? Eh? What? What do you say? But it’s too awful! Are you sure? Do you mean to say the wound is poisoned?” Without thinking what he was doing, the deputy chief pushed Don Luis aside and took hold of the receiver. The thought of the poisoned wound was too much for him. “Are you there?” he cried, keeping an eve on Don Luis and motioning to him not to go away. “Are you there? Oh, hang it, why don’t you answer!” Suddenly he let go the instrument, looked at the wires, perceived that they had been cut, and turned round, showing a face that clearly expressed the thought in his mind. Perenna was standing a couple of yards behind him, leaning carelessly against the woodwork of the arch, with his left hand passed between his back and the woodwork. He was smiling genially. He stood aside and pressed the button that worked the iron curtain. -The heavy panel came crashing to the floor. The deputy chief was a prisoner. “That’s a hundred millions gone to Jéricho,” grinned Don Luis. “A pretty trick, but a bit expensive. Good- by, Mornington inheritance!” As he spoke, he locked, on the inside, the folding doors between the drawing room and the first-floor ante- room; then, returning to his study, he locked the door between this room and the drawing room. The deputy chief was banging at the iron curtain with all his might and shouting so loud that they were bound to hear him outside through the open window. “You’re not making half enough noise, deputy!” cried Don Luis. “Let’s see what we can do.” He took his revolver and fired off three bullets, one of which broke a pane. Then he quickly left his study by a small, massive door, which he carefully closed behind him. He*was now in the secret passage which ran round both rooms and ended at another door leading to the anteroom. He opened this door wide and was thus able to hide behind it. Attracted by the shots and the noise, the detectives were already rushing through the hall and up the stair- case. When they reached the first and had gone through the anteroom, as the drawing room doors were locked, the only outlet open to them was the passage. at the end of which they could hear the deputy shoutin <. They all six darted down it. When the last of them had vanished round the bend in the passage, Don Luis softly pushed back the door that concealed him and locked it like the rest. The six detectives were as: safely imprisoned as the deputy chief. He himself went up the second flight without undue haste. But, on the last stair, he was seized with such a feeling of elation that he shouted: “Victory! The road is clear!” The boudoir door was opposite. He entered. A stifiled oath escaped his lips. The room was empty. (Copyright, Doubleday, Page & Co.) All TO BE CONTINUED IN THE NEXT SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH MAGAZINE. PAGE FIFTEEN. a - sO ARES. SL aa Mes pet gaa
