LONDON, March 29.—The German military authorities have declared war on a prevailing fashion, the extensive ‘barrel’ frocks which women are wear- ing. The London Daily Mail says that the German War Office has announceu that the profligate use of dress mate- rials to make wide skirts, roomy blouses and spacious coats and wraps of all kinds cannot be tolerated in the presence of the army's crving need for cloth and uniforms and munition production.

Funston Directed to Get All of the Facts and For- ward Them to Washington. WASHINGTON, March 29.—A, full in- vestigation of the circumstances of the raid on Columbus, N. M., by Villa and his bandits has been ordered by the War Departmert. Major-General Fun- ston has been directed to take up the task as soon as Col. Slocum, command- ing the Thirteenth Cavalry, and such of his men as took part in repulsing the bandits return from Mexico. So far the department has no official report of what took place, except for brief telegraphic dispatches. The offi- cers and men of the Thirteenth Cavalry have been too busy with the pursuit of Villa for appearance before a court of inquiry. The orders to Gen. Funston became known when abstracts of Secre- tary Baker’s testimony before the House Appropriations Committee in con- nection with the emergency $8,000,000 ap- propriation kecame available. Discussing the Columbus raid, the Secretary said: “‘Since the happening of the Columbus incident, the activity of Col. Siocum, who was in charge, and of other persons of whom it would be riec- essary to make inquiry has been such that they have not been available for an investigation. Gen, Funston has been directed to make a thorough-going in- quiry into the whole matter and report fully to the Gepartment as s00n as the conditions of the service there justi- fy 10.” Gen. Funston Directed to Investi- gate Villa Attack on Columbus. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 29.—Gen. Funston did not comment early today on the report from Washington that the War Department had instructed him to make a full investigation of the Colum- bus raid as soon as Col. Herbert J. Slo- cum returns from Mexico. The attack on Columbus was made by Villa before daybreak, March 9, and several civil- janes and soldiers were killed by the out- laws and buildings in the town set afire. Col. Slocum, commanding the Thir- teenth Cavalry at Columbus, reported the affair to Gen. Funston by telegraph and later sent a complete report by mail. This report, more than 1000 words in length, was received by Gen. Funston. March 16, and was forwarded by him to the War Department. The War Department returned the long report of Col. Slocum with instruc- tions to have the Colonel amplify it. Col. blocum is commanding troops just now more than 200 miles from the border, and a revision of his report is not ex- pected for some time. It has been sent to him, however. NEW LIGHT REACHES 150 MILES In 150 Times as Powerful as Acetylene in Use. WASHINGTON, March 29.—Invention of a dry cell electric signal light capa- ble of projecting its rays 150 miles and through comparatively thick smoke and haze, is announced by the Coast and Geodetic Survey. The light, said to be 150 times as pow- erful as the acetylene lamps now in use, was perfected by E. G. Fisher, chief of the Survey's Instrument Bureau. [It will be used on surveys in the mountaing of the West, where the distance between stations frequently is more than 100 miles.

Unless checked by the forces of the facto Government or unless he himself decides to turn and fight there appears no reason today why the chase of Villa should cease until he has led the Ameri- cans through twisting mountain trails and over waterless wastes for another 300 miles or more. The shifting lines of the chase Villa is leading the pursuing Americans has made more apparent the desirability of getting permission to use the Juarez- Chihuahua line of the National as well as the Northwestern Railway, but Gen Funston has refrained from making any representations on the subject, prefer- ring not to interject a possible embar- rassing feature in the negotiations al- ready under way for the other line. de Carranza Will Be Pressed to Grant Use of Railroads. WASHINGTON, March 29.—The out- come of the State Department's efforts to get from Gen. Carranza permission for immediate use of Mexican railways for transporting supplies to the Amer- ican forces, is awaited with keen inter- est in official circles today. It is expected that Special Represen- tative Rogers at Quetaro, acting under instructions, will press the first chief today for special consideration of the request to use the lines, without await- ing the perfecting of the protocol now under negotiations. While it was admitted at the War De- partment that the use of the railways would simplify the troop supply prob- lem, it was said that the $8,000,000 con- gressional appropriation now available will enable the department to establish a complete independent motor’ truck supply system, regardless of the rail- roads. Secretary Baker announced that two more motor trucks companies have been requested by Major-General Funston and will be forwarded soon, There are 27 trucks in a company. Four companies are now in service and two others are on their way to the Porder. With the additional two companies, Gen. Funston will have 216 trucks with which to main- tain Gen. Pershing’s constantly length- ening lines of communication. oa War Department Plans to Get Eight More Aeroplanes. _ WASHINGTON, Marci: 2.—With funds available, the War Department, it is said, has now under consideration plans for purchasing eight new aero- planes for Mexican service and for establishing three high-powered radio stations along the border to provide con- stant communication with the wireless sets of the trvops now in the field. The appropriation bill provides for 21 additional aeroplanes among other things. In tiiis connection Secretary Baker told the House Committee yes- terday: “‘There is no present intention of buying 24 machines. The first thing will be to buy eight machines and ex- periment with them to get the best type we can of those that have developed for European service. Gen. Funston thinks that he shouid have eight machines in addition to those he has now. They will be used on scout duty and wil! not be used for offensive operations, except incidentally. “We do not know what is going tv happen in Mexico and we have no idea how mapry columns we may have tv divide our forces into, and it may very well be that before we get very far with these eight machines we havo and the elght we propose to secure, some of them will be wrecked. “The ultimate intention Is to build up two squadrons, so organized as to be types for service conditions, so that when we do actually have service use of aeroplanes we will not have to re- organize the signal service.’’ Army Aeroplanes Get More Power to Make Mountain Flights. COLUMBUS, N. M., March 2.—At- tempts are being made here to over- come some of the difficulties which the American Aero Corps has experienced in its flights over the high altitudes of Weatern Chihuahua. A higher pow- ered engine and a larger propellor has been installed in the plane of Lieut. Joseph Carberry, which was flown here from the field headquarters. Two new engines also have been received at the base here and it understood that other army planes are to be re-equipped as they reach here.

PHILADELPHIA, March 29.—As little Miss Eleanor Axson Savre, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Bowes Sayre, and granddaughter of President Wilson, lay in her crib in Jefferson Hospital yester- day, a nurse placed at the bottom of the crib a basket of 100 roses. They were a present from the fourth national flow- er show. The roses came from the gar- den of Senator Joseph Heacock. Not one of the stemmed flowers was less than six feet tall, none of the blooms less than two and one-half inches in ‘i- arr. eter.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonsful will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in.

LIKE JEKYLL-HYDE CASE Gave Disease Cultures’ to Mother-in-Law and Arsenic to Her Husband, He Says. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 29.—Dr. Arthur Warren Waite confessed yesterday in the presence of several witnesses that he poisoned John E. Peck, hig father-in-law, and killed Mrs. Peck by administering malignant germ cultures. He amplified his confession regarding Mr. Peck by saying that toward the end he was un- able to further watch Mr. Peck’s agony and administered chloroform. The first statement is made upon the authority of Raymond C. Schindler, a detective; the second upon the authority of Walter Drew, counsel for Miss Cath- arine A. Peck, Mrs. Peck’s sister, and confirmed by Frank A. Watite, brother of Dr. Waite. District Attorney Swann went to Belle- vue Hospital late yesterday afternoon tc listen to Waite’s full confession. But Walter R. Deuel, former Assistant Dis- trict Attorney, who earlier in the day had been engaged as Dr. Waite’s counsel would not permit Dr. Waite to confess to any official. Mr. Swann listened, instead, to a long description of tHe operations of an ‘evil Egyptian spirit" which Dr. Walte told him frequently “inhabited his body and caused him to do bad things?’ After his visit to Waite Mr. Swann said that Dr. Waite told him he had on Monday a week ago given $9000 to Eugene Oliver Kane, the undertaker, who had embalmed Peck’s body. This money was paid Kane, Mr. Swann said Dr. Watte informed him, to in- duce Kane to swear he used arsenic in his embalming fluids, and Swann said Dr. Waite had further told him he had asked the undertaker to prepare some of this fluid with arsenic in it. Drew Check for $9300. Waite stated he had drawn a check for $9300 and had it cashed by his chauffeur. The District Attorney and Assistant District Attorney Man- cuso went to Kane's house last night to question him. Mrs. Kane told them her husband was in Greenport, L. I., and would not return until today. Swann told reporters Dr. Waite had said he made this proposition to Kane Sunday morning a week ago, when Kane came to his home to collect his bill for embalming the body of Peck. Swann said that after Simiotti, the chauffeur, cashed the check detect- ives shadowed Dr. Waite to a cigar store on Fifty-ninth street. The Dis trict Attorney added that Dr. Waite met Kane there and passed him a pack- age. Whether Kane was paid his bill when he called on Dr. Waite Sunday is not known. ‘The District Attorney has been here,”’ gaid Mrs. Kane to a reporter; ‘*: es, they told me what they wanted. But it’s all a pack of: lies, lies, lies. Dr. Waite never made any such proposi- tion to my husband. He never paid him any money. I don’t care what Dr. Waite said. My husband never has used arsenic in-embalming and never will, for it’s against the law.” District Attorney Swann also gaid his detectives had samples of Kane's em- Dr. *“balming fluid and that these showed he aid not use arsenic. In a room in the Park Avenue Hotel, in which were, besides a reporter for the Post-Dispatch, Percy Peck, Dr. Schurtz, the Peck family physician, and several detectives, Schindler last night described Dr. Walite's confession to him. “In his Bellevue Hospital room,” said Schindier, ‘“‘Dr. Waite was eager to talk. He told me he had killed Mr. Peck by giving him arsenic. He told me that he had killed Mrs. Peck by giving her germ cultures. He did not tell me whether the germs he gave were typhus, diphtherta, tubercular or what they were. Egyptian Man Spirit. “In describing the murder of Mrs. Peck Dr. Waite always referred to ‘the Egyp- tian man spirit’ which he said entered his body frequently, inhabited it when the germs were given and that the spir- it through him killed Mrs. Peck.” Schindler then gave the following ac- count of part of the conversation be- tween Dr. Waite, Mr. Swann and As- sistant District Attorney Dooling: “He had been describing this ‘Egyp- tian man’ or ‘spirit,’” said Schindler, “which he said occupied his body and made him really two men—one good and the other bad—when Swann said to him: ‘Doctor, can't you tell us where this man or spirit comes from”? “"No, I can't, Judge,’ Waite. “*But. doctor,’ said Swann, ‘this man has been with you so much and youn have talked with him so much, can’t you give us any idea where he comes from?’ “It must be from Egypt,’ answered Waite. ‘Yes, sir, it’s an Egyptian spirit, for he’s always talking about BPgypt and Egyptian things.’ “*You mean Egypt, Mo., don't you?” asked Mr. Dooling. “"No, I mean WEgypt, Africa,’ Dr. Waite insisted." “It was about noon yesterday,” sald Drew. ‘‘That I told the District Attor- ney that Dr. Waite had confessed to his brother that he had poisoned Peck and had lte@ about his wanting to commit suicide. There were in the office with replied Dr. had gone there twice to tell him about the confession.

Miller to Harry West, tall and slender, of Rock Island, fi. “I guess they were afraid to come back home last night,’’ said Mrs. Jean Walker, “JollyJean,”’ weight 400 pounds, to a Post-Dispatch reporter today. “We surely would have given them some party. Why, Gertie just ran away while her property. man was fixing a stove in her room and planning for the summer trip. I didn’t think she could do it, but she fooled almost all of us.”’ Miss Coyle is only four feet in height, but she moved briskly about the house as she hunted for a photograph of “‘Ger- tle.” After looking through dressers and trunks she exclaimed: ‘‘Why, that little girl has hidden all her pictures. She must have known we would be look- ‘ng for them.” At this moment the prop- erty man joined in the hunt and pro- duced a photograph that had been con- cealed in a guitar case. “Gertie” Was Off Weight. “That doesn’t do her justice,” he re- marked. ‘“‘She was off weight when that was taken. Why, sometimes I have seen her up to 700 pounds.”’ One of those who will aid in the recep- tion to the bride will be her show part- ner, Lewis Foust, known as ‘‘Kewpie,”’ who weighs 600 pounds. ‘‘Kewpie’’ was not at home this morning and his friend¢ appeared worried as to how he would re- ceive the report of the marriage. 1615-POUND BRIDE (lilt Hil IS SOMEWHAT OFF WEIGHT GERTRUDE BAKER-WEST. “They have a great act,’’ volunteered Miss Coyle, ‘“‘and I guess West will go out in charge of the show this year.”’ “Jolly Jean’’ Appeared to be the most melancholy member of the party today. She explained that this was not because of the marriage, as she was delighted to see ‘‘Gertie’’ happy. I’m just bothered abovt my weight,” she confided. “I have fallen off a lot this last winter, and I do not know whether my husband will let me go out with a show this season. The warm weather may let me pick up 75 pounds or so, however. Now, here’s Lucy, who is gaining all the time.’’ Lucy, 300 Pounds, Just Training. “Lucy” declined to announce her full name. She said her weight was only about 300 pounds, and added: ‘I'm not in the business yet; in training.”’ Mrs. West, the bride, is regarded by her friends as rich, inasmuch as she owns a complete tent outfit with scen- ery and costumes. She met West last fall while her company was appearing in a town in Iowa, and they have cor- I'm just responded since that time. ~ his father-in-law until he could no ljlong- er bear to see him suffer and so adminis- tered chloroform.”’ Whether Attorney Deuel will permit Dr. Waite to make a full confession to the District Attorney will probably be positively decided within 24 or 48 hours and is dependent largely, it is believed, upon the attitude of the District Attor- ney’s office. Mrs. Margaret Horton, the ‘‘woman in the case,’ continued to occupy a con- spicuous place on the day’s affairs. Her visit to Dr. Waite did not materialize, but announced as continued on today's schedule. She visited the District At- torney’s office and spent a long time there undergoing further questioning. Mrs. Horton repeated with emphasis her denials that she had ever accepted 1 cent from Dr. Waite and retold the numerous occasions upon which she had declined to accept gifts of jewels and clothing from him. If is a fact that Frank Waite has dis- cussed Mrs. Horton with Dr. Waite many times im the last few days, and that Dr. Waite has talked to his brother freely about her. Just what information these conversations have developed iz being kept secret by those who have it It is known, however, through Frank Waite’s statements that his brother has convinced him he was deeply in love with Mrs. Horton. There is no proof sre was even told of this love. That the District Attorney’s office still attaches much significance to the rela- tionship between Mrs. Horton and Dr. Waite was evidenced again yesterday by the examination of the persons who have known the Hortons. These include Bernardino Olshanski, singer in the Bos- ton Opera Company. Attorney Spielberg went into a lengthy discussion of Mr. Horton's finances. He explained Horton had been forced into bankruptcy by ill- ness and has since rehabilitated himself financially and during the past year has earned $8000. Mrs. Horton said lagt evening she wanted to see Dr. Waite because ‘“‘he had been very good and kind to her.”’ but she denied that the suggestion for such an interview came from her. She said: “When I was in the District Attor- HAVE COLOR INYOUR CHEEKS Be Better Looking—Take Olive Tablets.

LONDON, March 29.—In the House of Commons yesterday some particulars were given of a hitherto unreported Zeppelin raid. Francis Bennett-Goldney, a conservative member for Canterbury, asked whether six Zeppelins had ap- peared on the east coast on the night of March 19 and were driven off by British aeroplanes. Harold J. Tennant, | Parliament Under Secretary of War, ad- mitted in reply that certain reports were made on the night in question and that aeropfanes had ascended. It was not desirable to say more, he added. There were three casualties tv officers in recent raids, the Under Sec- retary stated, but they were not due to acts of the hostile aircraft.

On the distance to the scene of the shooting, and the time which it would have taken Ella Monroe to g0 there and ambush Eva Gregory and re- turn to her home, will arise a question of time, both for alfbi and prosecution purposes. Difficulties of the Case. The prosecutor’s difficulty is to show that the girl had time, after leaving the store, to walk a mile to her home, ob- tain a gun, walk two miles across coun- try to the scene of the ambush and re- turn to her home, covering five miles in all, within a period not accounted for by the girl's aiibi witnesses. The girl's difficulty is to show, first, that she could not have reached the place of ambush ahead of Eva Gregory, and, second, that she could not have gone there and returned to her home within the period not accounted for by her alibi witnesses.’ Miss Monroe says it was after 2 o'clock when she left the store. Others say it was before 2 o'clock. Miss Gregory | left the store at about 3 o’clock. She was killed at about 3:30 o'clock. There ‘ is so much conflict in the statements of the several persons who have knowl- edge of Miss Monroe’s movements, which are further complicated by contradic- tions, that a court trial might not even avail to settle the question. The girl says she went home and changed her dress and went to the hon of Curt Barnes, her father’s tenant, near by, and stayed there an hour. Mrs. Fr rnes says she stayed only a few min- utes. Mrs. Monroe says Ella was at hb me except when she went to the Barnes home. When Miss Gregory left the store she was accompanied by Mrs. Walker, as far as the latter's home. Miss Gregory still had half a mile to go to her own home. She had to pass one house, that cf John Quiggins. She stopped and talked a few minutes with Mrs. Quiggins, then rode on towards home. About 309 yards further there are banks on each side of the road and a clump of timber on one side. The horse and rider passed from sight, and presently a shot was heard by Mrs. Sam Caswell, who lives under a hill, off from the road, and by Mrs. Gregory. Mrs. Quiggins did not hear the shot, but she looked out a moment later and saw Miss Gregory's riderless horse gallop up to the gate and stop. Waist Had Caught Fire. She telephoned to the Gregory home and Gregory hastened down the road. He found his daughter dead beside the road. She had been shot above the heart. Her waist caught fire. Whether it had caught from the gun’s muzzie, held close, or from the wadding of the shell, which was later found inside her waist, is pot certain. | Story They Tell Relied Upon for _ Motive; One Stained From Slain Girl’s Wound.

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky., March 29.— Love letters, stained with the blood of -Eiva Gregory, tell a story upon which | the Commonwealth's Attorney relies for _ &@ motive in the prosecution of Ella Mon- roe, who is charged with having am- bushed and shot Eva Gregory to death » as Miss Gregory rode her horse home- ward from Solway postoffice, on the aft- ernoon of Tuesday, March 21, with two love letters tucked into the bosom of her dregs over her heart. One was from Clarence Quiggins of Abingdon, Ill., in which he told her that he loved her the better and of his ef- forts to reclaim from Miss Monroe a bracelet which had been the symbol of their troth; the other was Miss Greg- | ory’s answer to Quiggins, in which she wrote: “I love you more dearly than my own life.”” Many words in the letter are cémpletely blotted out in blood stains. Letter That Was Never Mailed. Miss Gregory had carried her ietter to the postoffice but had not mailed it to Quiggins. Whether there was something she had forgotten to write or the en- dearments she had written seemed in- adequate, or she wished to change an expression, or she had decided not to mail it at all, of course, remains un- known. ‘Mies Monroe was at the postoffice that day and, although nothing passed be- tweén the girls, not even a greeting, the sight of her rival for Quiggins’ affec- >! es a ae Se Ree tionk, it has been suggested, may have Se pads ll s ted to Miss Gregory™ somethin ~ niee : MISS ELLA MONROE. $ Our manufacturers have co-operated in splendid manner to make this an unprecedented money-saving success.

Monroe, too, at the same time, was carrying, tucked in the bosom of her dress, over her heart, a letter from Clarence Quiggins. It dealt with their broken engagement and the return of letters and photographs and the brace- lét of betrothal, yet contained a hint of lingé@ring affection. This letter, couple1 with the letters carried by Eva Greg- ory when she was killed, is believed By the Commonwealth Attorney to sup- ply sufficient motive, as motives go in the remote Rough Creek region of Har- 4in County.

It had been borrowed three weeks before by Will Roy Dupin, who works for Ella Monroe's father, and had obtained two shells from Aleck Montgomery. He fired one at a target and laid the other on the mantel of the living room at the Monroe home. After the shooting the weapon was found standing in the cor- ner of the Monroe home. The shell was not found. The girl says she never saw the shell. In the soft mold at the side of the road where Miss Gregory was ambushed the track of a No. 4 woman’s shoe was found. It had a small heel and a pointed toe. The tracks were traced in the direction of the Monroe home, across woods and fields. A place was found where the wearer had removed the shoes and had walked for some distance in her stocking feet. The tracks were followed to within half a mile of the Monroe home, where they were lost. Bloodhounds were brought the next day but the trail was apparently tow cold. At any rate the dogs did not fol- low it. Shoes Too Large for Her. When Commonwealth Attorney Buckles went to the Monroe home, the day after the tragedy, Ella was wear- ing shoes that were too large for her. She said she had worn them the day before. She at first said that she had no others, except a new pair, which she had never worn. These were produced and were found to fit the tracks, but their appearance showed that they had not been worn. The girl finally said she had another old pair but did not know where they were. She searched but did not find them. Buckles and Sheriff Fife found a pair in a bundle, under a box, in a closet. They were muddy. With them was a pair of stockings, the feet of which were muddy. Miss Monroe said she had not worn them for a long time. Her mother said that she (the mother) had worn them three days before about the place, and that mud and water had entered through worn parts and soiled the stocking fea‘. The shoes were still damp, but the stockings were dry. Mrs. Monroe was asked to put the shoes on. She was able to get them on, but cou@ not button them. She at- tributed this to the fact that they had been wet and muddy.

Two fights are in progress in’ the Ritenour Consolidated School District in St. Loufs County as the result of the charges brought by the Voters’ League of the district that the ballot box was stuffed in a special election last May to carry a bond issue of $23,000 for school buildings and other improvements. The league has nominated a full ticket of candidates for school directors in 'an effort to wrest the schools from the | faction in control when the bond issue election was held. There also ig uw fight the east end of the district in what | is known as Uniondale, which is threat- ‘ening to withdraw from the Ritenour district and establish its own system of schools. Both the school and Uniondale municipal elections will be held next Tuesday. Status of League's suit. The Voters’ League filed a suit to have the bond issue invalidated, and recently had 96 witnesses in court at Clayton to testify that they had voted against the bond issue, when only 68 votes against it were recorded by the judges and clerks of election. The league also charged that the ballot boxes containing the ballots of the bond issue election were stolen soon after the election was held. Judge McElhinney threw the case out of court, and the Voters’ League has appealed to the Supreme Court. * The league has indorsed W. S. Rob- inson of Overland Park, E. Wurdack of Home Heights and Harold Lane of Mid- land Heights as candidates for school director, and the opposition faction has nominated J. T. Hille of Midland Heights and P. D. Walsh of Overland Park as two of its candidates. It is probable that G. M. Ringen, now secre- tary of the board, who was the cus- todian of @he missing ballots, will be a candidate for re-election. Clarence Campbell, a Republican poll- tician, is leading the fight against the Voters’ League candidates for director. ile is employed by the present board as a truant officer at a salary of $0 a month, and the Voters’ League candi- cates have announced that he will be dropped from the payroll if they are elected.

Lowes, pro- _ féssor of English literature in Washing- ton University, in a lecture on ‘‘Literary futurists’ at the University Medical School tast night, under the auspices of the Washington University Association. Assuring the audience that he had not lust his senses, Prof. Lowes read a few passages from Gertrude Stein's book, “Tender Buttons.” This author, he said, had renounced meaning, ;and ‘‘woulu banish from poetry all lines tnat embody a recognizable idea.’ From her * poem,’ entitled ‘“‘Rhubarb,’’ he quvted the following: Rhubarb is susan not susan not seat in bunch.

Here's a Masterpiece. ‘Miss Stein is consistent only in mas- like the poem which begins, ‘Aider, why aider why whow, whow stop alder whow, aider stop the That is absolute music, the ultimate dim song “without words. And one may take leave of Miss Stein in the felicitous vocables with which ‘Tender Buttons’ ends: ‘All this makes a magnificent asparagus, and also a fountain.’ ’ Prof. Lowes compared the ‘‘poctry”’ f “Tender Buttons” to the attempts of some futurist composers to produce ' music without sound. He told of the “experimental perfume concert,” given in the Carnegie Lyceum, New York, “which included among its attractions ‘a trip to Japan in 16 minutes,’’ con- veyed to the .audience by a series of odors.”’ Iihustrating further the style of the _ extreme imagists, he -quoted two lines ~ spi the emotions of two young - persons attending a moving picture eS Sag We thrill to the rush and the clatter And spatter the night with our souls. This spattering, he remarked, was _™merely tit for tat, since it was stated ia the beginning of the same poem that _“*The void turns, and creaks, and spat- ters me with spume of gaunt fatuity.”’ ‘He added that ‘‘No one spattered with the spume of gaunt fatuity can be - blamed for spattering back.”’ ' Lowes, and describes these thoughts as—— “Thoughts” Sound Fishy. Another imagist, quoted by Prof. admits that he has thoughts, Little silver fishes jumping in a row, Little fishes leaping upon a black cloth, With a shark behind them. O yellow eyes in the black sea’ The speaker read a recent poem, en- titled “‘Houses,’’ which seemed to make rather better sense than the other mat- ter he had quoted, and then he in. _ formed his hearers that he had played atrick upon them, by reading the poem backward, line by line, beginning with athe last line, and ending with the first. “The scraps that I have just been “Quoting,” said Prof. Loyes, “have bee frankly chosen as terrible examples. For. carried to its extreme, the Imagist doc- trine, like most things human, leads to absurdities. The essential point is the fatal facility with which the Imagists Flip into just this particular excess. The distortion of images is the inevitable re- _ gult of making images do duty for every- ‘thing. “The poet has absolute freedom w write his poems about the external ap- Paratus of the life of his own day— ite motor cars, and submarines, and aeroplanes, and all the rest.

Ad- ministration leaders will press for prompt disposition of the bill. Sena- tor Chamberlain, chairman of the Military Committee, was ready, whén the Senate met, to open debate on the bill and to explain its provisions. The bill provides for a_ standing army of approximately 175,000, an increase of about 40,000 over the total proposed in the House measure. It also provides for a Federal volun- teer force with a maximum strength of 260,000 and a federalized national guard of 280,000 men.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. ROME, italy, March 4.—Henry Haller, formerly of the Fifth United States Cavalry, who was one of the few Amer!- cans in the Servian retreat, declares that during the journey to Podgoritza in Montenegro in a four days’ snowstorm more than 50,000 men died. “They died so fast,’”’ he said, “that they fell every few yards all along the road. The wagons and carts went right over their bodies. Nobody thought of trying to turn out of the way, but there were so many they could not but drive over them. The roads were full of mud- holes. At one place I saw no less than 17 horses dying in one immense puddle, unable to pull themselves out. “T saw hundreds and thousands of ragged men, with their feet swollen too much to wear shoes or to walk on them, crawling along for miles on their hands and knees through the blinding snow, finally stopping and dying soon after- wards. They never made any appeals for help. It wouldn't have been any use. Besides, they were too far gone to know what they were about, that’they were dying. Their last effort to keep going was rerely a mechanical opera- tion. Of course, the great mortality ail along our route was due to the barren nature of the country we were travers- ing, with no shelter for but a compara- tively few of us. There were even no forests where we might have felled trees and built temporary quarters. Our fires for the most part were small, wiih bare- ly enough ‘wood to heat water.”’ Enlisted in Austria. Haller, who was on a visit to Budapest when the war began, enlisted in the Austrian army and was serving as a bugler when, six months later, he was taken prisoner by the Servians and then finally was marched with 756,000 other Austrian soldiers across the moun- tains into Albania and ‘there turned loose on the shores of the Adriatic to fight for iife against cholera, fever and starvation.” “We were supposed to have started on that retreat,”’ said Haller, “with a Servian army of over 200,000 men ani about 75,000 Austrian prisoners. Nvot many more than 150,000 of the whole lot got over the mountains. It was nox because the Austrians or the Bulgarians pursued ‘us, however, with much ac- tivity. We died merely because of dis- ease, hunger and exhaustion. “The worst part of the journey began at the Albanian frontier. The Albanians have in times past been badly treated by the Servians, and they took this chance to square old scores. They shot, killed, robbed and murdered us at every step of the way. For Instance, at Linn. some Servian officers and a company of stragglers on horseback were met in the middle of the road by a few peasants and ordered to give up their horses and their money. It was plain highway rob- bery and they refused. The peasants ran away and within a couple of min- utes more than 1000 shots wene fired our of the bushy hillside, killing most of the Servians. Half Pound of Bread 8&2. “The food problem was terrific even in Albania. A half pound of bread was sold at 10 dinars, about $2. As I had a little money at Sturza, I bought fiva pounds of ako beans. Had I not been able to get these beans I would today be dead. I had just said to myself, I can’t go any further,’ wher. I persuaded a peasant woman to sell me the beans. I ate beans twice a day, making a sort of soup out of them, putting in a little salt. At that I was far luckier than tne fellows who had to boil] harness leather for five or six hours in order to make the hot water taste like soup. I saw men act like savages, eating pleces cf brown paper. “There were perhaps not more than 2000 women among the retreating horde with us, and it is a fact worth record- ing that they were kindly treated an‘ given whatever comforts were available by soldiers who were otherwise dead +» every feeling. I have seen such men, gaunt, staggering alng, half-naked, with a few pieces of cloth for shoes, unable to speak, with barely steungth left to stop near a dying horse and cut & stringy steak frém its flenk, straighten uz for a moment near one of the wor- en’s carts and smilingly tender thet- last mouthful of food to some of the women. Women Well Treated. ‘The treatment of the women on this dreadful retreat was to me the most wonderful, the most moving, the most heroic part of the whole retrea*. These poor women in their flight from their homes had in many cases beeh unable to bring enough clothes to cover them. Often they were without stock- ings or underskirts, or hats or shawls or cloaks. J have seen time and time again some freezing soldier take off hig overcoat and force it upon some one cof these women, and seem almost ashamed to-look upon her shivering body as he made the offer. Then he vould search along the road for hours until he was able to strip some dead man of his clothes to replace that which he had so freely given. “One incident will stick in my memory so long as I live. This was the hang- ing of a Serb mother by the Austrian troops before I was made a prisoner. We were marching across a rough country near Lochnizter when we stopped near a wayside hut at its spring to get a drink. Col. Helll of our regiment also went to get a drink. As he arose from the spring a shot came from the hut. That shot was tired by a woman. She stood at the door, an old shotgun in one hand. a baby in the other. “One of the captains ordered her hung. There was nothing else to do Lut execute her. As a rope was placed about her neck and she was led to the nearest tree all she said was this, in a hard,. cold voice: ‘My husband is a soldier. I, too, die for Servia.’ The baby was picked up and sent to the i nearest prison camp, to be cared for.”’ Re A EE MES tO ree ge Cratos gree aaa ee en, ee ee _ le ie Great Essential.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. LONDON, March 29.—Two members of the Government, McKenna, Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, who directs fiscal policy and frames tariff legis- lation, ang Bonar Law, Minister of Colonies, have given an idea of the Government attitude on the agitation Which has been sweeping Manches- ter, Birmingham and the great indus- trial centers, for a complete over- turning of British policy giving free open markets for foreign gO0ods, and the inauguration of a new policy of tariff restriction. The two ministers represent the extremes of sentiment within the Government on this fundamental question of British policy, the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer belonging to the Cobden element strongly attached to the traditional doctrine of open markets, and Bonar Law represent- ing the later element which took up Joseph Chamberlain's campaign for protection of home industries. Each has made an address recently, show- ing how both sides of the Govern- ment approach the same conclusion that the war has changed everything and has opened the way for a new economic policy. The two Ministers differ, however, in one respect, Bo- nar Law holding that in the change to a tariff basis “we must begin on a new basis and put aside all pre- conceived ideas,” while McKenna maintains that proposed tariff chafiges will be the result of common agreement and enlightenment from the war, rather than a surrender of old ideas. Views of McKenna. ‘TI belleve,’’ said McKenna, ‘‘that upon the great issue which once divided the nation (free trade) probably the opinions of most of us remain un- changed. But it does not follow, be- cause upon that great issue we stand where we stood before—basing our opin- ions, each according to his own lights, on theoretical principles—that there is not a very large field for common agree- ment between us. It does not follow, | though trade may be free, that the help of the Government should not be given to assist our traders. We are prepared, and we have already shown in a way which I am not yet able to state, to give the assistance of the Government to the development of foreign trade in order to ensure that those rivals who are now our bitter enemies shall not have the control of foreign trade which they have enjoyed in the past. “T do not fear that the spirit and re- sources of our manufacturers and mer- chants and bankers will fail us. In the past there has been complaint that the Government has not given the as- sistance in distant parts of the world which was rendered by other Govern- ments in similar circumstances. It may be that the policy which is right at one time is not right at another. And it may be that we have to learn that the policy of Government assistance becomes nec- eusary to procure the development ef what you might call the master trades and to secure the extension of our com- mercial influence through neutral coun- tries. I hope that wisdom may come to us all and that in a true spirit of give and take we may get to a complete understanding.’’ Opinion of Bonar Law. Bonar Law was more specific on put- ting aside old ideas and beginning a new policy. He said: “IT am under suspicion on one point of view (protection), and the Chancel- lor of the Exchequer is under suspicion on the other point of view (free trade). But I am sure all will agree that now everything has changed, and that we must begin on a new basis and put aside all preconceived ideas. “I remember reading a book by a German economist, in which this pas- sage occurred: ‘Where would be the German sugar industry, the textile, the the German empire, without the rich Hnglish market always ready to receive our goods? On the back of free trade England we have tried to grasp the trade of the world.’ “That was before the war, and now we recognize the truth of it. One thing is sure, whatever else happens, the re- sources of the British empire will never be exploited as they have been in the Age PWith these two responsible ministers, representing the two shades of view in the Government, agreeing that a change is in prospect, and differing only as to whether this change sacrifices old ideals, there seems little doube that the change itself will take form as a Gov- ernment measure, radically departing from the old doctrine of free open mer- kets. Morning Posat’s View. The extent of the change, as affectinz the United States and other neutrals, is not yet indicated, but the Morning Post gives its view of what the change should be: “We favor a scientific tariff con- structed in close consultation with the interests concerned. First of all tha object Is to make this nation and the British Empire strong. Then there is the object of strengthening the alliance. We all recognize that this war is upon one side a war of economic liberation. Therefore it is proposed to give to the allies better terms than to Germany.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 29, 1916. ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH Louisiana Republicans Uninstructed. | NEW ORLEANS, March 29.—The Lou- isiana State Republican convention to- day selected 12 uninstructed delegates to the national convention. OVERWORKED MINISTER Tells How Vinol Restored Strength and Vitality. St. Louis people will realize that we could not publish such letters as the following if they were not gen- uine and truthful statements of facts. The Rev. Mr. Hughes, Holly Springs, Ark., says:— “I am a Methodist Minister, and suffered from broken-down nerves, loss of appetite and sleeplessness. Y was weak, my circulation was very poor, and I was not able to do my duty in my Parish as I felt I should. I had tried various remedies but did not seem to get any better. Through Mr. Gatlin of Bearden, Ark., I learn- ed of Vinol, and it built me up. [I regained my appetite, can sleep bet- ter and do more work.” There is no secret about Vinol, it derives its power to build up the overworked, brokendown, nervous System from the medicinal extrac- tives of fresh cod livers without oil combined with tonic iron and beef peptone. Anyone in 8t. Louis who wishes to try Vinol can do so with the under- standing that we will return their money if they are not satisfied. Vinol is sold in St. Louis by the Wolff-Wilson Drug Co., and by all other drug stores in St. Louis that display the Vinol Agency sign.—ADV. Ladies! 83 New Recipes FREE! OTHING to buy!

SIMMONS Country Suffering From Policy of Commerce Commission, He Declares in New Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, March 2.—George W. Simmons, vice president of the Sim- mons Hardware Co., of St. Louis, in a speech on “Public Opinion’ here this afternoon at the ninth annual conven- tion of the National Association of Real Estate Bxchanges, declared the “entire country is suffering today from the policy of the Interstate Commerce Commission, which has denied to the railroads the privilege of earning a fair compensation for services performed, under conditions as they exist today. “It is bad enough to punish the hun- dreds of thousands of railroad stock- holders throughout the country, and likewise the creditors, who have loaned money to the railroads and taken their bonds in return; but it is even worse that railroad construction has absolute- ly ceased, that in spite of the present management of high efficiency and in- telligence, one-sixth of the raflroad mile- age of the country is in bankruptcy and possibly worst of all is the fact that the industry of the country is crippled and immensely damaged by the utterly inadequate railroad facilities now avail- able to handle the prosperity which we have been waiting for so long,” Sim- mons said. “As the Government has chosen to have its railroads privately owned, it is its solemn duty to take under ita pro- tection, as well as its contro), all rail- roads doing interstate business and ad- minister that protection, first—by remov ing them from the 48 state masters they now serve, and, second, by seeing that they receive a fair price for the one commodity they have to furnish— transportation.’’ Simmons said the “United States of America”’ is the greatest business enter- prise the world has ever known, but that the business efficiency of govern- mental departments is notoriously so bad that no private corporation could make a living if as badly mismanaged. He attributed this condition to the fact that 68 per cent of the members of Con- gress are lawyers. He criticised the business interests for sending such a large percentage of law- yers to our Legislatures, and for paying so little attention to what is going on there until it is too late to influence legislation properly and intelligently “It {s only natural that lawyers should follow their own legal minds,’’ he said, “and produce laws like the Sherman law, which the lawyers say is just right, and which the business interests have found practically unintelligible.’’ Simmons declared business men must give time and effort to legislation, and declared the proper channel through which to do it was the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, organ- ized four years ago.

The taking of a traffic census of St. Louis County, preliminary to the ex- penditure of the $3,000,000 bond issue for building roads and bridges, which was begun Monday, will continue the re- mainder of the week and will include the traffic of next Sunday. W. E. Rosengarten, an engineer from the United States Department of Roads. is in charge and has 21 enumerators at work. They are stationed on the Man- chester, Clayton, Natural Bridge, St. Charles, Olive street, Lemay Ferry, Tele- graph, Gravois, Columbia Bottom, North and South and Denny roads. The enumerators are listing all in- tound and outbound traffic under four classifications, one and two-horse Jjrawn vehicles, motor cycles, motor trucks and motor vehicles. see Occupants of vehicles are questioned as to where they came from to deter- mine the area served by the roads, and notation of the commodities hauled is made to furnish infofmation to the en- zineers as to the exact traffic the im- proved roads will have to bear. In July a second traffic census of one week will be taken, a third in October and a fourth in January. The engineers thus will obtain information of traffic for one week at each season of thea vear. Rosengarten last week took photo- craphs of 50 pieces of road in St. Louls County. The same roads will be photo- graphed after they are improved. J. C. Travilla and William Elbring, eugineers who will have charge of the road building, next week will begin work on definite plans for the distribution of the $3,000,000 over the county.

PARIS, March 29.—The conference of the entente allies, which ended yester- day, adopted the following resolutions just prior to adjournment: “The representatives of the allied Gov- ernments in conference at Paris March 27, and 28, 1916, affirm the complete community of views and solidarity of the allies. They confirm all the meas- ures taken to realize unity of action on unity of front. “They understand by that, at the same time, unity of mil‘tary action. assured by the entente concluded between ‘he general staffs; unity of economic action, the organization of which the present conference has regulated, and unity of diplomatic action, which is guaranteec by their unshaken will to continue the struggle to victory for the common cause. “The allied Governments decided to put into practice in the economic domaia their solidarity of views and interests. They charge the economic conference, which is to be held shortly at Paris, to oppose for them appropriate measures for the realization of this solidarity. Permanent Committee in Paris. “With a view to strengthen, co-orci- nate and unify the diplomatic action to be exerted. to prevent the revictualling of the enemy, the conference has da- cided to establish at Paris a perman:nt committee in which all the allies will be represented. “The conference has decided: “First, to continue the orgaiization, already begun, at London of un inter- national central bureau of freighis; sec- ond, to proceed in common and with the briefest delay to seek practical means to apportion equitably between the al- lied nations the charges for maritime transportation and check the rise in freight rates.’’ At the conclusion of the last sitting, Premier Briand thanked the delegates for the valuable aid which had made his task as President an easy one. The Assembly, the Premier said, was to be congratulated, on the facility with which the different questions submitted to it had been settled. Should =§ fresh problems arise, requiring joint delibera- tion, the allied Governments could not find a better way of solving them than by arranging another meeting. Tribute for Soldiers. The Premier said he felt it to be his duty, in the name of the conference, to send a merited tribute of admiration, to the allied sgldiers, who were fighting so heroically for the triumph of liberty and right. The conferees warmly gave ac- quiescence to Premier Briand’s words and expressed their absolute confidence that victory would crown the united eff®rts of the allied nations. Thirty-seven persons took part, yet the proceedings are understood to have gone forward without the least confu- sion, because the subjects to be consid- ered had been worked out in advance by each of those whose judgment on any military, political or economic dues- tion was to be submitted. The conference separated into groups, according to the questions to be deter- mined, this process facilitating, the reaching of common understandings. The decisions of the conference have the force of the decisions of the re- spective Governments, because’ each, with the exception of Russia, was rep- resented by its principal Ministers and Generals. Premier Earl Kitchener will visit Italy returning to London. WOMAN WHO GETS DIVORCE LETS HER HUSEANO HAVE SON Mrs. Edna June Court Hopes Child's Affections Will Not Be Further Alienated From Her.

The State Board of Equalization is not em- powered to go behind the returns of local asses- sing officers and increase or decrease the valua- tions fixed by them on individual parcels of prop- erty. When it “equalizes,’’ as the saying is, the total assessments of a county, it does not necessarily mean that such total represents the true valuation of that county lawfully made for tax purposes. It only means that that county must pay such pro- portion of the State tax as its “equalized” value bears to the “equalized” total of all the counties. Its function would be better understood if it dealt in fractions. What it does is to determin- ing that in its judgment this county should pay a twentieth of the total State property tax, that county a tenth, and another a fortieth, other counties other fractions. Ordinarily it accepts as the equalized value of a county the total of assessments as fixed by in- terested local officials. To suppose, however, that it is the board’s duty to approve them as such is preposterous. Indeed, so to approve them in the face of notorious facts in this State is evidence of inefficiency and neglect. The board was instituted in the very knowl- edge that the officials of one county would com- pete in reducing their assessments, and hence their State taxes, to very lowest possible mini- mum. Its sworn duty is to put a heavy hand on such competitions. So far is it from being obligated to approve all figures as returned, that the very fact that a cer- tain figure is reported as representing the total assessments of a county may generally be accep- ted as the very best reason for assuming that it does not represent the just and actual total con- templated by law. What Attorney-General Barker concedes is the most powerful showing ever made before the board on scandalous evasions of tax burdens by many counties has just been completed by St. Louisans, who have devoted comprehensive study to the tax problem. In this showing was. included the fol- lowing: That 96 countics received back from the State Treasury last year more moncy We must have healthy cows, clean, sanitary dairies and pure milk. MUNICIPAL EFFICIENOY. Henry J. Allen of the Wichita Beacon, at the Traffic Club’s dinner, made one of the best speeches on municipal government that has been delivered in St. Louis. Mr. Allen contrasted the inefficiency of the po- litical city government that afflicts most cities with the efficient, business administrations that some cities enjoy under a commission form of gov- ernment, with competent city managers. He took the revolution in Dayton, O., after the flood had exposed the weakness of its former govern- ment, under the control of party politicians, as an illustration of what can be done for a city when citizens determine to substitute business effi- ciency for political incompetence in city govern- ment. He told the Traffic Club that whenever citizens paid the same kind of attention to their public business that they pay to their private busi- ness, the city would be well managed, on less money than it takes for incompetent manage- ment. Our new charter was a compromise with the politicians. It does not reduce the city govern- ment to the simple form of corporate organiza- tion and management which would give the best results. It does not divorce politics from city ad- ministration and for this reason we are unable to get the best results that the better features of the charter make possible if the government were con- ducted wholly in the interest of the people instead of the interest of a party and its political or- ganization. It is remarkable how slow the people are to grasp and act upon progressive ideas in public affairs. They think politically in traditions and ruts. ics ‘ 5 ee men fh + o> woe We 4 —— sree rahe wy 45S aE a ~~ * — * Lex eer Re x = - 4 > a a Sap ht hat: .* sont ‘ tt = i Ga PG: pied Be ‘ent a a We of ee as .

I see by this evening’s Post-Dispatch the death of Miss Susan FEF. Blow. Having been a teacher in the St. Louis kindergartens, this news interest- ed me not only because I had heard Miss Blow lecture and met her personally, but because my aunt, Mrs. Walton Strickland of Sierra Madre, Cal. (then Irene Baldwin) was her first pupil in St. Louis. Judging from reports, this makes her the first kindergarten pupil in the United States. This would be of special interest to Mrs. Strick- land’s many St. Louis friends. Her home was next door to the Des Peres School and in this way Miss Blow saw and secured her first scholar at the tender age of 3 years. My earliest recollections are of the beautiful books made by my aunt under Miss Blow’s able supervision. These tooks are still in her posses- sion. In after years I came to know this wonderful woman through her writings and .songs. All kindergarteners will feel they have lost a personal friend through the death of Miss Blow, and I am sure this is a tribute they are all pay- ing to the woman who has been the means of bringing so much joy and happiness into the lives of little children whom she loved. GERTRUDE BALDWIN Bushberg, Mo. DUDLEY. a ee ee Advice on Homesteading Wanted. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. A number of young people are considering tak- ing up geome Government homestead land in some State in the West, with the idéa of tilling enough of it to make a living. None of them has had any experience in farming, but are ready to learn. They would be glad to receive advice from parties who have had experience in homestead- ing, as to what would be the best way to proceed and what things should be avoided. Any infor- mation given will be greatly appreciated. Mt. Vernon, Mo. W. BUST. Superannuated Government Employes. Toe the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. For several years all Government employes have been working to have a retirement measure enacted ty Congress. A bill, known as the “Pen- rose-Griffin Bill,” which provides for retirement on half pay of all civil service employes who have reached a certain age and have served a certain length of time, was introduced in the p-esent ses- sion of Congress, and all organizations of civil service employes are making a united effort to have it passed. The public can aid materially by writing to our Congressmen and urging them to véte for it. Aside from the humanitarian standpoint of the question, as a business proposition, retirement of aged employes would be a paying one. It is especially true in the postal service, where speed as well as accurancy is a very essential require- ment. The cost will be small. When this time arrives, if an employe is retired at half pay, his place will be filled by a young man at just a lit- tle more than the remaining half of the retired one’s @galary. It will take from four to six years before the new man is receiving the same salary that the other had been receiving before his re- tirement. During all of this time, however, the service rendered by the young man will be better and the efficiency of the service increased. It is because the public will be benefited by this in- creased efficiency that we are asking for its sup- port in our efforts to have our Government fol- low the lead of other countries in taking care of its aged employes after they have given the best of their lives to its service. In almost any other line of work, if a ran is dropped by his employer, there is at least the possibility of getting work with someone else, but In the Government service there ‘s only one employer and all the knowledge and ability which @ man may have acquired in the years of service will not help him to get employment elsewhere. PRESS COMMITTEE, Branch Noe. 4, National Association of Civil Emplopes. ‘*Don’t Blame the Millers.’’ To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Referring to recent letter headed as above, we would be very foolish indeed to blame those who try to satisfy a demand. Some people could hardly believe that any other than white tread was pure. We naturally take to that which sug- @ests cleand and pure ingredients. We are just mot educated up to the bread of the great Tolstol. As it seems now, we need white bread for those who still demand it, we need bran bread for oth- ers who need it. You may take your “loaf of bread” and jug, 050 on lands in 35 counties assessed by local officers at a total of only $645,154, but valued by the company at $3,102,- 321 in appraising the security behind the loans. That in no up-State county is the as- sessment more than 40, and in many not more than 10 per cent, That 6000 sales of up-State real estuic showcd that the total assessment was not more than 85 per cent ‘of the price re- ceived for the land. That the census ap- praised the farm land in 56 countics at $1,171,291,582, whereas the total assess- ment of the 56, including a large amount of property other than farm land, is only $240,476,054. That real estate in St. Louis is assessed at an average of 70 per cent of its value. The powers of the State Equalizing Board are ample. After it has fixed the fraction of the to- tal State tax each county will pay the amount raised in such county will be levied on individual assessments as fixed by the local officers. What will the board do? Will it correct these indisputable injustices? Or will these so-called ‘‘equalizers’’ only pursue the policies of the past that have perpetuated in- equalities? a a i iw _— THE LABOR PEACE CONGRESS. Labor’s World Peace Congress, planned to meet at the same time and in the same place as the rep- resentatives of the belligerent nations, when peace terms are being settled, is the outcome of a new and possibly fruitful idea, brought about by the great war. A new voice is to be heard—the voice of that vast element of the peoples which, here- tofore dumb at such times, has suffered most from wars and their consequences. That voice will say, in effect, that those who do the world’s work shall no longer be ignored in the parceling out of countries, the making or un- making of dynasties, the changing of national boundaries, the increase or decrease of costly arm- aments, and the imposition of huge burdens, in taxes and indemnities. Hardly out of hearing of the suave and subtle-minded plenipotentiartes, ac- customed to disregard the effect of their decisions upon the masses, will be a body of hard-headed and somewhat implacable men, making demands never before heard in a peace conference since tribes and nations began fighting. It will be a unique, a picturesque, and, we may hope, an epoch-making event, for the benefit of the world’s workers, on whose progress the wel- fare of society is based. = = Se The wonderful part of the Colonel’s candidacy is that the Master of the Universe can bring him- self to accepting so paltry an office as the presi- dency. ee ee ee ee 2 Cee CeO ene ae FEDERAL CONTROL OF DAIRIES. Congressman Linthicum of Maryland has in- troduced a joint resolution for a House commit- tee of five members “to investigate and report whether conditions prevailing in dairies and dairy products seriously menace the health and prop- erty of the people of the United States,” and “whether Federal inspection and supervision * * * is necessary,” and as to the best meth- ods to enforce such inspection. Missouri and the other great dairying states have commissions whose duty it is to inspect dairies and thelr products and enforce the law with regard to sanitation, the purity of milk, etc. The Linthicum bill provides for Federal inspec- tion “either alone or in co-operation with State and municipal inspection.” But why cannot the State and city authorities perform this public duty without Federal help? Under the Missouri law, the cities have the power to inspect dairies outside their limits. Federal inspection would mean an army of Gov- ernment job holders and a heavy cost in taxa- tion. It ought not to be needed. But if it is to ball. In the new charter, however, we do have some of the best features of modern progressive city government. Wecan gain the full benefit of them whenever the citizens make up their minds that they intend to enjoy this benefit and express their will at the polls. ——__——_-—_—@@———. CROOKED LAW ENFORCEMENT. From Monday's news: Herman Krah, who has a saloon at 6854 Gravois avenue, was arrested yesterday morn- ing by a patrolman of the Mounted District, who reported that Krah had treated him to a bottle of beer. The policeman said that he effered to pay for the drink, but that Krah would not accept his money. Nice business, wasn't it! Major’s police minion who had connived at the lid-tilting turns around without warning and arrests his host. Nobody ee violated the ordinance, but—what a _ spectacle snooping law enforcement makes of itself in vio- lating thé decencies! The policeman who first connived, then arrested, impersonates or typifies perfectly the Governor whom he represented in the transaction. a ++ eee SPENDING NAVAL BUDGET DOLLARS. Admiral Fiske charges that naval expenditure is only 75 per cent efficient. Of a dollar appro- priated, value received is given for only 75 cents. His personal view is that Germany’s navy is twice as potential as ours, though it cost no more. Who is to blame if, measured in terms of naval strength, what we get for our money is too small? Certainly not the taxpayer. It is to his interest to cut out the waste. He at all times and ali places is in favor of getting 100 cents in value received for every dollar spent. A part of his suspicion of large naval programs is due to his knowledge of the reckless way his money has been thrown to the Armor Plate Trust, the Powder Trust, the favored ring of contractors. He believes that for the money we are now spending, we ought to have a better navy than the one we now have. One of the most important preliminaries to the preparedness program is to make the dol- lar go farther. Extravagance, favoritism, pork barrel items, graft are the first things to pro- vide against in plans for our greater army and navy. i A ie — a The Mounted Boy Scouts of Kirkwood are hold- ing themselves in readiness for any call from the Border. a MAGNANIMOUS, MAYBE, BUT I8 IT WAR? Our soldiers in Mexico are paying cash for what they get. In advance of their approach to towns and important crossroads, the astonished but de- lighted natives gather in large numbers to ex- change their farm produce for good, hard, Amer- ican iron dollars. The resting places of the various columns as they advance resemble a succession of largely attended, brisk county fairs. Plainly our soldiers know nothing about mak- ing war. They should seize all grain on the line of march, strip farms, commandeer horses and steers, drive off all the milch cows and let the babies starve. On every township and village encountered on the line of march fines from $50,000 to $500,000 should be levied. Safety should be assured by capturing the clergy and prominent men and women and holding them as hostages subject to instant execution at the first sign of hostility or even of bad manners on the part of the populace. How are we to profit by the maturity of Bu- rope’s tested methods if we neglect to put in force the most familiar practices in their tech- nique of war? How are we to reduce the popu- lation of an alien territory to proper humility and obedience without shooting their representa- tive citizens and burning their most cherished and may I have mine. “WHITE BREAD.” | be avoided, the states and cities will have tovwake | EE SP POL AL BS OER T te eet: pliner ty pea aaa Oe et te Ae SEP re Oy oy ere ree ae eer rope. ace > oy ‘ 5.” ot” . fe eos ee Cae Pine ee ‘tee ¢*t.” vig : +” a” Zh P 4 : »? “-, -. © ‘+36 + S* tea 7h - ‘ “ ~~ o> tps - 3 ore ail ‘4, : ~ i os : x Se) ths 5; he casas ve aH!

HE revelation that ninety-six counties in Mis- souri receive from the State for schools more money than they pay the State in taxes must not be permitted to disturb anyone’s faith in our archaic tax system. We have the assurance of em- inent authorities in taxation that for levying in wrong ways and collecting them by haphazard process our beloved commonwealth has it all over any similar area on earth. If this is so, it is at once a distinc- tion for which the big cities of the State can well afford to pay and exactly the place from which great reforms start. It enables all our tax experts to speak at length and with great feeling when the subject comes up, and we are becoming informed. It keeps our singletaxers active in the hope of some inevitable change from the present system, giving hope of their own. It moreover makes it possible for our farmers to keep on farming. until Mr. Bloomer and other peo- ple can lift farming in Missouri to the productive leved of farming in other States. Are We alone in seeing virtue in this situation? That cannot be. It is our firm conviction that we are not ready for a modern tax system in Missouri, and that until we can get ready for it the one we have makes us want the one we want. IX SIGNS.

Now she was more hopelessly wretched than ever. She thrilled with horror as she thought of the wicked snare set for her feet. Were all womankind unworthy and cruel? She shuddered, a score of wild thoughts in her mind. Even the dark, deep river seemed to invite § her. Gradually the distraction grew less intense. She remembered a married school friend. Surely she, her closest companion for four years, would of- fer her a refuge. Lura resolved to return home, destroy the note left for her husband, write to her friend asking her to take her in, await a reply and then leave the house for- ever. She was faint and trembling from excitement and despair as she neared the house. She entered, stood dazed as she saw her husband coming from upstairs. He was never home at that time of the day. He must have found the note, and yet with a beaming face he came towards her. “You dear little wanderer,” he cried. “Wherever have you teen, when I have a great surprise for you?” “A surprise?” she repeated, scarcely Knowing what she said. “Yes, come,” and he entwined his arm about her and drew her past the drawing room draperies. —why did you ever tell me? Mrs. Laura Davenal, two years a bride, wept and drew back from the window whither suspense and suspicion and the subtle plotting of a woman she should never have trusted, led her. She deemed Minna Burton a friend. She should never have placed faith in this false counselor, She knew she had been one of a group of admirers of her husband before his marriage, who had been particular never to go out with her, for her reputation was not the best, but he had been cour- teous to her. Minna had not seen much of him until the last month. Then a woman friends of hers had intimated to Laura that Minna had told her secretly that she felt sorry for her because her husband was de- ceiving her. The friend had brought about a meeting between the two. Lura had demanded to know the occasion of Minna’s = insinuation. The latter, crafty, jealous schemer that she was, had feigned embarrassment. Then, when firmly pressed by Lura, she had spoken of her deep. respect for her, her desire to shield her and spare her sorrow and then had declared that her husband was false to her. “He goes to see a certain "voman every day,” said Minna. “‘Dear Mrs. Davenal, spare yourself grief. Men are all alike. It can do no good to unmask him. Let the episode pass.” “Never!” Lura was aroused, and then Minna had said: “Very well, I will take you tomorrow where you shall see for yourself,” and she had BE". why did you bring me here Cousin Myra. URA, my nearest and dearest of S kin, Myra Blodgett,” spoke Sydney and Lura faced the young lady that Burton had pointed out to her. She extended her a hand, but her senses were reeling. What did it all mean? “Cousin Myra is responsible for the first secret I ever kept from _ you, dear,” proceeded Sydney. “She is a runaway—cruel -papa and all that! She would not let me bring her here for fear she would be found, but within an hour her gallant knight errant will be here with a clergyman and then we can face the issue.” “I will be down in a moment,” Stammered Lura and almost uncere- moniously left her husband and guest. Her nerves were at fever heat. The note! Sydney must have found it. Yes, it was gone! Lura sank to a chair, gasping for breath. What would Sydney think? How could she explain it all? Then sudenly a great cry of joy left her lips. The note! The breeze coming through the open window had blown it where she saw it—under the kLu- reau.

And to all this poor, distressed Lura listened, never dreaming that a wicked plotter was bent on separating her from a man she had once loved. “Yes, yes,’ she sobbed, “take me Fomewhere away from this heartbreak and sorrow!” “T have a cousin, a Mrs. Lavery, a widow, living about 100 miles from here, who will be glad to give you a tempo- tary home,’’ suggested Minna, and Lura, half-mad with her grief and suspicions. agreed to be at a place Minna named later that afternoon, prepa-ed for the journey. She was to bring her grip train and start her on her way to se- clusion and safety, as she put it. Lura returned home in tcars and made her preparations for departure, sobbirg heartbrokenly. She wrote 2 brief not to her husband telling him that she had discovered his perfidy and that she would never return to him. She placed this on a stand in their room, where he would be sure to see it. Then she left the house. Lura was unfamiliar with the address Minna had given her.

By Mrs. NE day Esmeralda, the Queen of © the fairies, harnessed up Flitter- wing, her swiftest dragon fy, and went to spend a day and night with her cousin, the fairy, Twinkle-toes. As she left, she called to little Squank, her favorite goblin: “Squank, I am not coming back unth after the break of day tomorrow muvorn- ing. You can do what you please mean- time.’’ Now, when the Queen had told Squank she would return after daybreak the next morning there was a wicked bug flying by who overheard it. Away he flew to the home of the Ogre Shagrack “Oh, Shagrack!’’ exclaimed the bug, “the Queen has gone to see Twinkle toes, her cousin, and returns tomorrow after the break of day through tue great forest. It will be a fine oppor- tunity for you to lie in ambush and seize her captive.’”’ “Won't that be just splendid!’’ -ried Mrs. Shagrack, who was 57 times wick- eder than her husband. It happened that late that evening as little Squank was passing along the edge of the great forest he spied the castle of Shagrak. “Suppose they should near that the Queen is coming through the great for- est the morning after daybreak,’ he thought; ‘“‘they will try to do harm to her.”’ S and listened. Soon he heard Shagrack and his wife making plans to capture the Queen. Squank turned himself into a jay bird he flew into the castle. “Oh, Shagrack,” he chirped. “There will be no use for you to get up 80 early tomorrow morning. I know whers a nice house is in the forest, close by where the Queen passes. You and your wife can go there and sleep al! night. All you have to do is to look out of the window to see when the breaks.”’ This seemed a good plan to Shagrack, who hated to get out of bed before 9 o'clock. So, following Squank, he and his wife went deep into the forest to where there was a huge house. It was dark when they got there, but Squank took them inside to a large room all pre- pared for sleeping. “Now,” he said, “you see that win- dow? Just look out of that in the morn- inz and you will see the day breaking. Then you can get up and go and capture the Queen.” So Shabrack and his wife went to sleep. After many hours Sha- grack arose and went to the window to see if the day was breaking. Now, this window, instead ing out of doors, opened into the pantry of the house, where it was dark O he went up close to the castle of open- midnight at all times.

Shagrack got up again and poked his head out of the window. "7 it smells powerful strong of cabbage stew.”’ Then Mrs. Shagrack bounced out of bed. So she got up and went out of the room—and, behold, the sun was setting. They had spent the whole day in bed. And, in the meantime, the QWueen had ridden safely by on Flitterwing while the ogre and his wife were sleeping. Of course, they were very mad about the way the jay-bird had treated them and Shagrack said he was going to kill ev- ery jay-bird in the country. “It wasn't the jay-bird, my dear,” said Mrs. Shagrack; ‘I've an idea that it was that wretched little Squank.”’ Which shows that Mrs. knew more than her husband.

Shagrack JUMP FROM BED IN MORNING AND DRINK HOT WATER 'Tells why everyone should drink ‘hot water each morning before | breakfast. Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, despondent, worried; some days headachy, dull and unstrung; some days really in- capacitated by illness. If we ali would practice inside- bathing, what a gratifying chango would take place. Instead of thou- sands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complex- ions we should see crowds of happy healthy, rosy-cheeked peopie every- where. The reason is that the hu- man system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accu- mulates under our present mode ol ‘living. For every ounce of food anc \drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will burn bright and hot, so.we must each morning clear the inside, organs of the previous days’ accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are advised to drink each morning, be- fore breakfast, a glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of lime- stone >nosphatc in it, as a harmless means of washing out of the stom- ach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, bile and toxins; tius cleansing, sweetening and puri-ying the entire alimentary canal Vefore putting more food into the stomach.

That was when they reared up and cheered Sisler. Quite fortunately for the latter he was able to reciprocate. His double was one of the few clean hits made by the Browns. Eventually he worked his Way to the plate with the only run scored by his team. Afield he plaved a flawless game, albeit he isn't the Greatest outfielder in the world.

And in these days of keen compe- tition at the box office, it pays a club to have a personally exploited etar.

See ee Despite the success of the Phillies against the Cubs, followers of that team have reason to feel apprehen- sive about their club’s chances in the coming campaign because of the ab- sence of Bill Killefer from the daily lineup. Killefer went lame last sea- son and hasn't yet recovered. Adams, who was secured from the Giants in the famous Lobert swap, is doing the bulk of the receiving.

The Phils won their geventh straight game from the Cubs yesterday and Tinker was busy denying a rumor which appeared in a Philadelphia paper about dissen- sions on the Cub club. The story had it that the former Cub players were peeved because favoritism was being shown tbe ex-Feds. Tinker gives this the lie. Who are Connie Mack’s pitchers? How many persons know? And for that mat- ter, who cares? Connie had planned to deliver a first division club this season and a winner in 1917. However, his plans have sone amiss. Even his most ardent followers now refuse to make such lavish predic- tions. At present the team is crippled by the loss of Wyckoff and Bressler. who have sore arms. They are destined to be the mainstays of the lean tactician on the hurling hill. Sheehan, Crowell and a pair of rookies, Richardson and Ray, are the only other members of the big squad Connie hauled South who look at all promising. Eighth place is star- ing Connie in the eye. —————— Rube Marquard faced the Athletics the other day for the first time since the world’s series of 1913, when he was in- troduced to Baker’s home-run bat.

All this statement needs to make it correct is for Tommy to make good in fielding, throwing and running. At present, weakness in these matters ‘s keeping him on the bench.

The five- man teams landed $234, while the doubles victories netted $188. St. Louis also has a few winners in the individuals, but these will not be an- nounced until tomorrow as a roll-off is necessary to decide the winner, three men being tied for the cham- pionship with a total or o8>d. While local tenpinners pulled down $422 in two events, the prize list for Chicago amounted to 3200 in the five-man alone. Chicago with the Commodore Barrys copped the major prize of $800. This probably will be more than the entire St. Louls money, as few high individual and all-events totals were rolled by the local] stars. Tt is expected that Chicago will haul away almost one-third of the $33,000 prize fund. All of which shows that the Windy City men are real tournament bowlers. The Duponts, with a total of 2770, topped the local five-man teams. and received $83. Next in lirle were the St. Clairs of East St. Louis, with 2707. This netted the team $34. The Burkes, Budwelisers, Fal- staffs and Cobwebs were the other five- man winners for St. Louis. Hilker and Schuttenberg, 1174. $38. were high in the two-man. Giessow and Whitehead, the Petergon stars, 1160, $30. were next Otto Stein Jr. was the leader for St. Louis in the individuals, while it also is thought that he is high among the local men in the all-events. Chicago has three winners, while they have a chance for another. ee Com- modore Barrys copped the ve-man, Thoma and Marina, with 1279. were high in the two-man, while Svkes Thoma’s total of 1919 for the nine games gives him first money for the all-events. If the Chicago bowler. Shaw, can cop the roll-off in the individuals, the Windy City will land all the major prizes. The Rex quintet rolled into nirth place in the North Side handic&p tournament on the Teutonia alleys last night with a total of 2824, including a -pin handicap. Long and Harrington, with 1218. went into fourth place in the two-man. Their total] included a donation of 41 pins. long list of victories over men like Hussane, Mort Henderson and many others of ability. 7 It’s Up to Beell. But—there are alwars buts itn the wrestling game—followers of the sport are not yet ready to accept Joseph as exactly what his record would indicate. In the past they have bufllt up ree- ords for aspirants in order to make a championship match where none existed before. Stecher may be an- other such. There are some foxy men behind him. The defeat of Roller ciously easy. In the old Saye it took a good wrestler, even a champion, some time to put this clever man to the mat. Stecher is matched with Fred Beell, in his day one of the very best in the country. The Marshfield ter- ror owns aéée victory over Frank Gotch, but it was a fluke. Beell was always too light for the champion- ship class, If e is in shape and has been wrestling, he may be able to show what sort of timber Stecher is really made of. ee suspi- oe - MARLEY 23, IN.

Tourney Will Be Given Later Date {Combined Men’s and Women’s Championships Will Probably Start June 17. Bonner Miller, secretary of the Missou- ri State Golf Association, will attend 4 meeting of the officers and directors of that organization in Kansas City next week, at which plans for holding of the 1916 men’s and women’s tournaments will be formulated. The State matches were last season voted to Kansas City but dates were not set. Most of the golfers favored June as the month for the matches. Accorda- ing to several authorities, the matches will be played this year during the week of June 19-26. Last year, when the events were played in this city, the qua!- iftving rounds were played on Decoration aay. It pruved, however, that that was too early in the season, in as much as the golfers had not attained anything like top form and the courses were not by that time in good shape. This season’s entry in both men’s and women's divisions should be greater than that of last vear. as it is probable that a larger number of St. Louis golfers will go to Kay See than there were Kansas Citians who came here. Then St. Joe and Spring- field are much nearer to the site of this years’ matches than they are to St. Louis, which should bring f larger number of representatives from pees cities than at- tended the local match Local golf professionals are co- -operating with the national move of the “pros’ to a-strong organization. The instrucéors are forming an organization. rAainly for tHe purpose of having something to pe en ee: selection of the course on whic the an- nal open tourneys are to be played. Only Local Tourneys Here. the next week, the golf committees of all the local clubs wilt arrange tournament programs for the coming season. With the State tourneys being held in Kansas City, this year, the 1916 season will be entirely a local one. There will be no inter-club competition until the city championship matches, which are to be held late in the summer. Spring golf tournaments are to be held at both Central and Soldan High schouols. The tourneys will be of the elimination variety in order that teams representative of the two institutions may be selected for inter- chool competition. Smith-Manual and Washington University will also be sented by teams this vear. _— ~~ +e Work on the new Sunset Hil!

By Harry S. Sharpe. For the first time since ] have beet refereeing for the Future City Athletic Club I was obliged to stop a bout last night and declare it no contest. This un- fortunate termination of affairs came in what had been scheduled as the ‘“‘main event,”’ between Matty Smith of Racine Wis.. and Johnny King of Chicago, Ill, and was the result of both boxers vio- lating the rules to such an extent that neither was entitled to consideration. One was just as much to blame as the other, though each accused the other of Leing responsible. The bout started off in an unsatisfac- tory manner, and though there appeared to be some hard hitting done, the boxing Was very slow, and there was much clinching and holding. ‘This continued for three rounds, with Smith slightly in the lead, but the spectators began to complain and called for more action. In the fourth round both began to do considerable hitting while holding and, despite iny advice that they do less holding and more boxing, the wout gradual'y merged into one of the rough- and-tumble order. I stopped the beginning of the fifth round long enough to tell them that they must do more boxing, and keep within the rules, or I would disqualify the one that failed to observe my warning. . lor a little time they did better, but soon got back to the objectionable style that was causing trouble and dissatisfaction. l had a hard time trying to keep them from fouling each other and was doinz my best to keep the bout going within a reasonable limitation of what is per- mitted by the rules and the local au- thorities. Near the close of the seventh round I warned them that I would no longer tolerate their abuse of the rules and was going to stop the bout and declare it no contest the next ae they clinched and continued to strik The Final Wieslas Given. When they came out for the eighth round I purposely stepped away from them to the other side of the ring and observed their actions. They squared off, swung at each other, rushed to a clinch and then, each one holding the other with one arm, they began ‘o smash away with the free one. I ad- vanced to where they were and to'd them the bout was over and that I de- clared it no contest. They stopped for a moment, but as [I turned awav fram them they started at it again. Th timekeeper sounded the bell and they stopped. They both attempted speeches, blaming the other boxer <rd myself. It is probable that some of the spectators disagreed with me in the action T had taken, but it should be remembered that the preservation of boxing as a sport in St. Louts and elsewhere depends upon the obser- vation of rules and regulations gov- erning its conduct. After I had stepped from the ring n police official told me that he had been at the point of sending his jen forward to stop the hout when I took the matter into my own hands. It is probable that neither Smith nor King will be seen in a local ring again, as their exhibition of last night entitles them to no further consideration by the patrons of box- ing in this city. Both men have given satisfaction in the past and thor- oughliv understand the rules, and why they should have transgressed in the manner they did last night is hard to understand.
