BROADWAY LOTS INVOLVED Held That Levy on Contiguous Property, Without Regard to Denefit Is Confiscation. JEFFERSON CITY, March 31.—The Supreme Court, in Division No. 2, tuday held that the St. Leuis ordinance provid- ing for the ievying of special tax Dbilis against contiguous property for street improvement is in conflict with that sec- tion of the Constitution of the United States which »rovides that property shall not be confiscated without due process of law. The decision was given in a suit by the Ruecking Construction Co. against William W. Withnell to satisfy tax biils issued oy the city for the improvement of Broudway between Osage and Neosho street. Ths total amount sued for was $7717. Unequal Taxation Is Defense. The defense offered by Withnell was that land owned by other persons, simi- larly situated, was not taxed for the improvement and that his land was as- sessed in excess of any possible bene- fit to be derived from the improvement. In several previous decisions, the Su- rreme Court had upheld the validity of such an ordinance, but the present de- cision is based on a recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States it which Justice Holmes referred to similar methods of assessing penalties for road improvement as “blind obe- dience to rule that requires the result,”’ and said that the ordinann was “a farrago of irrational ifregularitics throughout.” The section of the old city charter un- ager which the ordinances was pass] provides that in fixing the assessment for street improvements “‘a lien shall bce drawn midway between the street to be improved and the next parallel o1 converging street on each side, which line shall be the boundary of the dis- trict, except as hereinafter provided namely, if property adjoining street to be improved is divided into lots the district lines shall be so drawn as to include entire depth of all lots fronting on street to be improved.’’ The charter also provides that if no parallel or converging street is on either side of improved street, the boundaries of the district may be removed 200 feet. Basis of Withnell’s Suit. Withnell owned 10 lots and two un- plotted tracts in the district. It was shown that his lots were assessed on a depth of 120 feet while other lots were assessed on much less. In the large tracts it was shown:that he was as- sessed on a depth of 252 feet on one and 218 on another and that one of them was assessed on a frontage of 430 feet along Broadway, though tended beyond the scope of ment. Following the directions laid down in the decision of the Federal Court, it is held that property abutting on the im- proved section of the street must e assessed equally in proportion to bene- fits. it ex- improve- Decision Not Likely to Affect Charter Provision.

The decisicn is applicable all as- sessments n.ade under the old charter, but not to assessments made under the benefit district plan authorized by the new charter. ee ae SALOON BAR IS IN COUNTY, BUT FOOTRAIL IS IN CITY Police Chief Young today will ask the Street Departnient to make a survey at £502 Alabaina avenue and determine whether Daniel Hoefer's saloon at that number is in the city or the county.

El, PASO, Tex., March 31.—Gen. briel .Gavira at Juarez reported todays that 40 Carranza soldiers at Guerrero lad been killed by Villa forces and that nu number of others had been taken pris- oners or had joined Villas force. He said the command was in charge of Col. Cabazas and that Villa entered Guer- rero without warning and after defeat- ine the garrison, looted the stores, took a number of prisoners, killed civilians und then rode northeast as if returning in the direction from which he came ‘n order to deceive his purstiers. (ol. Cabazas reported that there we:e 10 American troops within 50 miles of Giuerrero at the time of the attack and that Villa outnumbered the Guerrero garison two to one. Gen. Gavira also said that he had received a report tha: Villa had been wounded during this engagement but this is not generally accepted here. This report was the basis for stories current last night that the entire garri- son of 172 men at Guerrero had been massacred. No supplies have yet been shipped south over the Mexican Northwestern Railroad from Juarez, although a train is expected to leave tomorrow with a quantity of supplies on board. Fifteen ears of hay, oats and corn were loaded here today and two tank cars of gasv- line for the trucks have also been filled and sent to Juarez. U. S. ENGINEERS MAKE REPAIRS ON MEXICO RAILWAY Ga- 140 Miles of Track Below Casas Grandes in Dangerous Con- dition, Soldiers Say. COLUMBUS, N. M., March 31.—Opera- tion of the Mexico Northwestern Mail- road soutli from Casas Grandes has been accomplished with the pfreatest culty, according to soldiers arriving from the field today. Light rails, dilapi- Gated rolling stock, destroyed bridges and culverts and numerous “‘shoo fly”’ turnouts were described as the handicaps in the utilization of the 140 miles of track below Casas Grandes. For 10 days military engineers have been at work making repairs. Sergt. Fd- gar Croker of the Thirteenth Cavalry said leaky engines and lack of proper fuel have forced the army to its utmost ingenuity in obtaining transportation, while other arrivals said there was con- stant danger of spreading rails over the whole line. High winds, bringing with them a re- turn of the cold, which last week worked hardships on the men in the field, pre- vailed last night over the district occu- pied by American troops according to meager wireless reports early today.

BUTLER, Mo., March 31.—Injunction sults have been filed in the Bates Coun- ty Circuit Court here by, Prosecuting Attorney Dewitt C. Chastain, to prevent the Missouri Pacific, and Kansas City Southern railroads from transporting intoxicating into the county and also to prevent intoxicated. Chastain says the local option law allows citizens to order liquor for their personal use, but he contends that the railroads transport or allow passengers to carry liquor in quantities so larze that it is self-evident it could not te intended for the personal use of any one man. The added court cost to the county, due to the criminal cases grow- ing out of the liquor business, also is given as a cause for the granting of the injunction. Chastain says that, although the law permits a citizen to order liquor, it says nothing about the delivery, and he holds that there is no reason why the railroads should not be restrained from delivering it. DINER? NO, RESTAURANT CAR The Pennsyivania Railroad tomorrow will discontinue the use of the name “dining cars,’ and all cars now known s “dining cars’’ will be known as “res- taurant cars.” The railroad announced that the term “dining car’ is a misnomer, as the word “dining’’ properly applies to a place to eat dinner. As breakfast and luncheon are also served in the so-called “dining cars,”’ it is actually a “restaurant” car, and the Pennsylvania Railroad has de- cided to take the initiative in giving the car its proper title.

The St. Louis Zoo elephani, with the pennies of St. dren, bought Louis school chil- scheduled to reach her new home in Forest Park a week from to- morrow. She is to come here from Lill Hall's animal ranch at Lancaster, Mo., up near the Iowa line. She will be named Jim, it was an- nounced today by George E. Dieckman, president of the Zoological Soctety, in honor of President Harper of the Board of Education, whose first name is James, and used to be Jim when he was a boy. Bill Hall is a large dealer in horses and mules, and as a side line he carries lions, tigers, camels, elephants and other animals which circuses sometimes un- load at bankrupt sale or otherwise. The prospective Jim is on his list as Judy, and she is declared to as gentle as an old brindle crow. She is 35 years old and may live to be 100. She loves to carry children on her back, it is stated, and she will have a lot of this work to do in her new place. Hall was holding her at $3000, but let her go for the $2384. Dieckman said he would be in favor of giving the children of the Canterbury School,~which won the banner for contri- butions, the first rides on the elephant. The Board of Education will probably arrange, at its meeting tonight, for some sort of ceremony in connection vith the elephant’s arrival. TESTIFIES WRECKED TRAINS WERE RACING TO MAKE UP TIME Dispatcher Also Says New York Cen- tral Experienced Trouble With Signal System Last Winter. CLEVELAND, March 31.—That both sections of train No. 86 were late and were racing to make up lost time was testified to by F. E. Bausch, night dispatcher on duty when the wreck of three New York Central trains occurred near Amherst, early Wednesday, and an allegation that the block signal system was defec- tive, testified to by Albert H. Ernst, signal tower man, were the principal features developed today at the first formal hearing by State and Fed- eral authorities into the causes that led to the Amherst disaster. Bausch also gave testimony to the effect that the road had experienced difficulty several times during the last winter, principally in bad weath- er, when the signals either failed to work or did so inefficiently. Ernst stuck to his story previously related, in which he asserted it was {mpossible that he could have been to blame for the wreck, JAMES DANIELS, ENGINEER, DIES Supervised Construction of Old Grand Avenue Water Tower, James Daniels, civil engineer, who su- pervised the building of the old water tower on (rand avenue, died yesterday at his home, 4929 McPherson avenue, at the age of 6%.

Souther testified that Albert link. f.orimer’s attorney, said his client o'ved Munday about $26,000, but that Lorimer himself never udmitted he owed Mun- cay any part of the sum. The witness testified he had failed to bring Lorie: nnd Munday together to straighten wut the matter. According to Munday, part of the indebtedness to him had been contracted during the senatorial investi- gation. William E, Trautmann, a East St. Louis, said the Southern Trac- tion Co. was granted franchises on certain St. Louis streets and across the Municipal Bridge there. The stock was increased then to $7,500,000, he said, bu’ though the State’s fee was paid, the stock was never issued. In 1912 the com- rany contracted with the Lorimer & Gallagher company, the § Ethelburs. Syndicate and H. G. Mepham to build the road, in sections. The Lorimer & Gallagher he said, was to build ‘‘section A,” and equip it with $500,000 worth of rolling ttock. In this transaction, the Souto- ern ‘Traction Co. gave notes to the Lorimer & Gallagher company amount- ing to $120,000, Trautmann testified. “We got no money,” he said. “They were simply accommodation. They were given because Lorimer said he wanted them so he could raise money.” Testifying vesterday William H. Thoten, former cashier of the Illinois State Bank, which closed when the La Salle street Trust und Savings Bank failed, said that the late John Cudahy, millionaire packer, had twice paid a $25,000 note which C. B. Munday at one time held. “We held the note at the Iilinois State Bank and Mr. Munday told ug to send it to him for collection,’’ the wit- ness said. ‘‘We did so, and Mr. Mun- day then wrote to Mr. Cudahy asking him to take ‘up the note, which the latter agreed to do. When Cudahy came to take up the note, Munday said he did not have it at that time and that he would mail it to him. Mr. Cudahy trusted him and paid the $25,000. “The note at that time was at the Auburn State Bank. How it got there I don’t know. I only heard it was at that bank. The note later turned up at the First National Bank, and that in- stitution demanded payment from Cud- ahy. He once more paid out $25,000 for the same note.”’ WARRANT FOR LUMBER MAN FOR LACK OF FIRE ESCAPE Was Notified to Appear Before Prose- eutin - Attorney but Did Not Call.

M. J. Lyle, a building inspector, com- plained that he visited the factory yes- terday and found more than 6&0 per- sons employed above the second floor.

The loss of horses on the forced marches into Mexico, in itself remark- ably small, has been further reduced by the instincts of self-preservation of the trained cavalry animals when they had to be left to shift for themselves.

In the camps there are a few who stuck to the long trail after they had been unsaddled and turned loose as incumbrances. The roads leading south from Colum- bus to the expeditionary base are marked with ingenious wordless sign posts. Engineers or truck drivers, upon discovering a fault or a turn in the road which they wished to indicate, and having nothing with which to make a sign board, bave used the thorny chap- paral bushes which cover nearly the entire country to a height of two or three feet. The bushes were cut down and laid diagonally across the roads. The drivers know from the angle which direction to take when they turn out from the main road.

FIVE ARE SHOT TO DEATH Members of Same Family First Beaten and Hung Up by Necks. —— 7 By Associated Press. FIELD HEADQUARTERS AMER. ICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES, COLONIA DUBLAN, Chihuahua, Mex ico, by motor truck to Columbus, Marcn °1~—It has been learned here that Fran- cisco Villa, nearly lost his life a few days ago on the Corralitos Ranch, & short distance from this place, where he tortured and put to death five Mex- icans. One of the men leaped upon hin: and was strangling him when the Vil- lista officers beat him senseless with the outts of their guns. Mucio Polanco was the name of Mexican who almost succeeded in end: ing Villa’s career. 1“ The murder of five Polaneo family was said to intended as a warning to other Mexicans against having dealings with Americans. Had Record of Honesty. Investigation showed that the Polanco involved with no political faction in Mexico, but that its members iad a record of uniform honesty ane reliability in dealing with the American managers of the Corralitos Ranch, where they were born and reared. When Villa, retreating from Colum- bus, arrived at Corralitos Ranch he had a list of all the Polancos, six men, the miother and two daughters. He seized the men and huntec for the daughters, but the young women had been hidden so well that he never found them. To five of the men, Cregorio and his two sons, and Mucio and his one son, Villa said: “IT am going to kill you because you are too Americanized. You are Gringo lovers.” But instead Villa had them partly strippec beaten with the flats of heavy Mucio Polanco broke away from captors and got one hand locked about Villa’s throat before ne was beaten of?.

When he had them all locked up and all terrorized he went to each one in turn, warning in these words: “f am coming back and if I don't re- turn, someone else will come in my place. Whoever comes will kill anyone here whom he finds working for Amer- icans.”’ Gen. Pershing has been advized of the report as to Villa’s location, and it known that the disposition of his troops and that of the Mexican Government are such that Villa cannot easily escane without a fight. American troops are converging in columns from the north, and it was indicated that a part of then had gone so far south that they would be able to join with the Carranza forces in preventing his escape in tuat direc- tion.

Major, proudly exhibited to visitors, who are told that it was presented to the State by the colonels on the Governor's staf!. The story of how the painting really was paid for becomes public for the first time. Col. Fred D. Gardner did it with his little checkbook. After paying the artist, Col. Gardner was entirely willing for the other colo- nel’s to reimburse him, as had been agreed upon, but they contributed ‘tu so limited an extent tuat he gave their small contribution to the artist as extra ‘‘change’’ for his work. Arranged For Two Years Age. Gov. Major's colonels, about two years ago appointed a committee which se- lected Carl G. Waldeck, an artist, of $538 Pine street to paint the Governor s picture. With much pomp and cere- mony, and in the presence of the colo- nels in full regimentals the painting was unveiled in the Governors Mansion March 12 last year. Gov. and Mrs. Major gave a reception for the colonels and members of the legislature. Col. and Mrs. Fred D. Gard- ner, Col. and Mrs. Horace 8S. Rumscy and Miss Julia Rumsey were guests a* the mansion for several days before and after the presentation. Colonels interviewed in the last few days said their recollection was that the cost of the portrait was about $800. Col. J. D. Perry Francis was selected as treasurer of the colonels to collect the funds. He wasn't kept busy. Bill Sent to Gardner. The artist, with rare toresight, the bill to Col. Gardner, who paid for the painting with his personal check. A few days later each Colonel received sent fs note telling that the painting has been paid for and asking that the Colonels send their pro rata contributions to Col. Gardner. Some of the Colonels responded, but Col. Gardner was not called upon to uver-exert himself raking itn the money The Colonels’ contri>ution:s amounted to only $171, which left a balance of $629 as Col. Gardner's contrivution. This looked like a mere bagatelle to the purse-free Colonel. Instead oi it as reimbursement he sent it to Artist Waldeck, who thus received $171 more fer the painting than the price he had stipulated. Up to about the time of the presenta- tion of the-picture the Governor’ fre- quently was a guest at the Gardner home and the Gardners often were en- tertained at the Governor's mansion. Transfers His Friendship, Suddenly the Governor transferred his close friendship to Col. Horace 8. Rum. sey. Ior more than a year he has been a guest at the Rumsey -home almost every time he visited St. Louis. A Post-Dispatch reporter called on six of the Colonels yesterday and learned the details of the payment for the pic- ture. Several said they had contribut- ed nothing. One Colonel said he under- stood he was one of the very few who had contributed, and that he belleved most of the contributions were in amounts of but $5 or $10. (ol. Gardner, when seen by a reporter ictteinpted to put a very different light on the affair, and said that as far as he knew all eof the Colonels had con- tributed. He was unable to explain the statements of several that they had given nothing. The Colonels on the staff are Martin Collins, J. D P.

Information Sources Secret. complaint is based are kept secret, for the stated reason that to disclose them would be contrary to public policy. Tauscher was arrested at his office in this city and taken before United States Commissioner Haughton. He entered a plea of not guilty, and was held under a bond of $25,000 for examt- nation on April 1. The arrest ofaf'auscher and the nam- ing of Fritzen in the complaint are said to have been the direct result of the examination by Federal authorities here of Horst von der Goltz, also known as Bridgman Taylor, who ar- rived Tuesday from Liverpool on the ereamship Finland, accompanied by a Scotland Yard detective. The informa- tion furnished by Von der Goltz, it is said, completed a chain of evidence which Federal authorities have been welding against six men for a year and a half. Other arrests are expected soon. From representatives of the Depart- ment of Justice here it was learned that the plot in which Tauscher is alleged to have been implicated was the first of several believed to have originated in the United States, having the de- struction of the Welland Canal as their purpose. Outline of Evidence. In outlining the evidence § against Tauscher and his alleged confederates, Federal agents said that soon after the war started a party of six men pur- chased from an explosive company in this city a quantity of dynamite. The dynamite was taken by them at night in a trunk from a ship anchored near Gravesend Bay, it is charged, the launch proceeding to a dock on the Hudson River in Harlem, where the dynamite was unloaded and taken in cab to a boarding house in Manhattan. There, it is asserted, the explosive was fitted with fulminating caps and elec- trical devices for exploding them, after which it was packed in six suit cases that the alleged conspirators took with them over the New York Central Rall- road to Buffalo and from there to Niag- ara Falls. At this point the journey was inter- rupted for some reason which the Fed- eral officers decline to discluse at pres- ent, and the party is said to have re- turned to this city with the dangerous baggage. lederal officers declared that details of the alleged plot had been known ever since its failure, and that evidence against the principals had been gradual- ly piling up, the missing details being supplied by Von der Goltz. Later Plot Was Distinct One. A later plan to destroy the Welland Canal, which resulted in the arrest and indictment of Paul Koenig, the officers said, had no direct connection with the case now under investigation. Informa- tion regarding Fritzen was _ withheld. It was said, however, that all six of the alleged conspirators are in the Unit- ed States. The identity of the vessel from which the dynamite is said to have been taken was not disclosed, but it was declared she was not the German steamer Madgeburg, which for a long time afte- the war started was at anchor in Gravesend Bay with a cargo of dyna- mite. The charge against Tauscher and Fritzen is based on the provisions of section 13 of the United States criminal code, which prescribes a penalty of not more than three years’ imprisonment and a.fine of $3000 for ‘‘beginning, set- ting on foot or preparing’’ within «he confines of the United States a mil'- tary expedition directed against a for- eign Power with which the United States is at peace. Tauscher is understood to have de- clared that he was not in the United States on the date the conspiracy is ai- leged to have been formed, and that he dict not return until nine or ten days later.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE GERMAN BEFORE VERDUN, Mare lin and Lindon, March 390.—German ar- tillery is playing heavily on the north front of Verdun. Vast clouds of smoke mark the site of the burning subur> behind Forts Belleville and Froideterre, set afire by the bombardment of these two forts, which bar ingress to the city along the east bank of the Meuse. Eight miles westward, the river, a mass of smoke columns float- ing like a hazy forest of cypress above 4othincourt, Malancourt and Hill No. 3904, testifies to the hail of high-cali- bered shells which is falling on this narthwestern outpost of the French po- sitions. Which of these two points wil! be the scene of the next phase of the German offensive is a question which doubtless is puzzling the minds of Gea. Joffre and Gen. Petain. The Associated Press corresponden* has made an inspection of the grounl gained by the Germans on the Verdun front in the fortnight since his last visit. On the previous occasion the Ger- mans had advanced their lines east of the river to the outer girdle of forts and had carried Douaumont and the ad- jcining redoubts. Germans Clear Wary. The Trench then retained the west bank of the river for three miles north of the line of Douaumont and were maintaining a harassing artillery fire from the heights on this bank against the German flank and rear. It was necessary to clear the lk rench from this region before the German attack agains' the fortress could proceed. This has been accomplished. Of the old positions the French now hold only a narrow tongue of land be- tween Dead Man's Hill and Wood. This position is naturally strong, wir: Hill no 304 as the backbone and the tw» fortified villages ,of Malancourt ani Bethincourt at the ends. But from the intense artillery fire falling upon it today from three sides. it appeared that the French retain it only by grace of the Germans and mus: abandon it whenever an earnest attack is delivered. OF THE ARMY CROWN PRINCE, °7, via Ber- mis across Avocourt French Guns Active. French guns are no less active than the German, although their fire is more scattered. This is because the task of the French gunners is to search ou; German batteries, hidden over the en- tire landscape, and restrict their ac- tivity as much as possible. The French gunners seem to he per- forming their task well. They know the position of many batteries and shoo with uncomfortable accuracy, as the vorrespondent experienced personally when a shell dropped squarely in the battery by which he was standing. They wasted only three shells in ob- taining the range. Two of these were Slightly over but in the exact line. The third landed right among the guns. but the softened clay soil swallowed it and smothered its explosion, throwing masses of ditt on all but nor harming the gunners, who at the last moment had dived like rabbits into the shelters that had been dug out on the hillside. An officer from the headquarters of the Crown Prince explained to the cor- respondent operations leading to the or- cupation of the region west of the river The French positions here, from which the German operations on the east bank had been subjected to a flanking fire. were on Goose Hill and in Cumieres sides, Wvod, with strongly fortified support- ing points for infantry in the villages of Regnieville and Bethincourt. Every house had been converted into a miniature fortress by walling the cel- lars with masonry and cement and pro- viding embrasures for machine guns and The position faced north and the protected by the flooded rifles. flank was river. A frontal attack would have entailed heavy losses in charging up the steer slopes of the Goose Ridge and Dead- man's Hill, so the Germans determine: to attempt a flank attack. A surprise crossing was completely successful. Sev- eral columns were thrown across the river and Goose Ridge was carried. Regnieville was surrounded and the French garrison surrendered ~- severct days later. Fought to the Last. First heavy resistance was encountered In the ravine and in Cumieres Wood. The resistance finally was broken and the defenders, whose escape was pre- vented by a curtain of fire of shrapnel behind the wood, were killed or cap- tured almost to a man, fighting des- perately to the last. The French counter attack was delivered too hurriedly, only three battalions participating, instead of a brigade, as ordered by Gen. Petain. The Germans then carried Dead Man’s Hill, The attack here then ceased and was transferred to Avocourt Wood. This attack succeeded in the first rush. The French now hold only the sack- like position two and a half miles wide, and of about the same depth, containing hill No. 304. The contents of the sack are expected to pass when the period has ended. into German of artillery pos- session preparation During the day the correspondent had an opportunity of interviewing a large number of Irench prisorers captured in Avocourt Wood. They were sur- prised by the German which were based on artillery fire of such pre- cision that the Germans were able to start their charge while the artillery was still playing on the French trenches and to cover the greater part of the in- tervening ground before the guns shifted their range farther back from the com- manding height near the bank of the Meuse, Surveyed Whole Front. The Associated Press representative was able to survey the whole battie front north of Verdun. The background of the panorama was the burning city of Verdun, with its squatty cathedra} tower standing out amid tne smoke. The barracks and other prominent buildings were easily discernable to the naked eve, as the distance was only 10 miles. The city had been burning for several Gays and the fire apparently had almost burned itself out. Shells were droppine with ominous regularity in the vicinity of Fort Belleville on the extreme left of the picture. Then the view swept around, tak'ng fn the ridge crowned by Forts Marre and Bois Bourrus, which stood out rlainly against the sky line and black masses of Bourrus forest, Goose ridge, Corbeaux wood, Dead Man's hil! end the villages of Forges and Cumieres to Forges wood and Mont Faucon.

The Frenchmen, orderly enough, are more impressed with the work of the German 15-centimeter guns, which pelt the trenches with a pitiless hail of shell, than with the effect of the big mortars, whose missiles come at much greater in- tervals. Prisoners who had a few days to remain from the demoralizing effect on the bombardment were in good spir- iis and professed the utmost confidence They seemed to be devoted to their new commander, Gen. Petain, and hold him in regard. Losses Are Heavy. As is so frequently the case with pris- eners, they declared the losses of their epponents were the heaviest, but the correspondent saw no evidence that the German casualties were excessive, al- though they are now heavier than dur- ing the earlier phases of the Verdun operations. A feature of this visit to the front was the sight of ‘“‘Big Bertha,’ one of the jealously guarded motors, on which the eyes of a neutral were permitted to rest for the first time. Every part of the kun was swathed and shrouded in tar- paulin, but its massige proportions be- trayed plainly the manner of instrument that was hidden beneath. high This trip represented war correspond- ence de luxe, the party of correspond- ents traveling in a special sleeper to a point behind the fighting line, whence automobiles piloted by one who is ad- dressed as Serene Highness, conveyed the Associated Press correspondent to the advanced positions.

They took the view, however, that a break of relations with Germany was by no means in- evitable. The situation was discussed fully the Cabinet meeting, but no action any kind was determined upon. Senator Stone of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Chairman Flood of the House Foreign Affairs Committee went over the submarine Situation fully with Secretary Lansing today at an early conference. The situation with Germany was de- scribed officially as not being ‘“‘immi- nent’’ and it was said that the commit- tee chairmen had not come to the State Department by appointment, but had come separately, seeking information for the guidance of members of Con- gress. Ambassador Gerard has rot responded to instructions sent to him four days ago to inquire of the German Govern- ment whether any of its submarines at- tacked the steamer Sussex and several other merchant ships carrying American citizens. Chairman Stone said no complica- tions in the situation inspired his call upon Secretary Lansing. Flood’s Presence Coincidence. “The fact that Chairman Flood of the House Committee was also at the department, was a mere coincidence,” he said, explaining that he had gone to the department only to get any aa- ditional information on the situation. “I found that the Secretary of State had nothing more than I already had,”’ he said. Chairman Stone stated emphatically there was nothing in- volving Congress at present, that Sec- retary Lansing referred no question to the Foreign Relations Committee, but arranged to keep both chairmen in close touch with developments. Ordinary delay in communication with Berlin was one reason advanced for the failure to recelve any response from yverard. Officials explained that it usu- ally requires from 36 to 48 hours for a message to reach him, and about the same time for an answer. The messagés are ordinarily routed via Copenhagen. As the inquiry to the American Ambas- sador was sent Tuesday, officials stated, with immediate action by him, a reply could hardly be received today. Aside from the slowness of com- munication between Washington and Berlin it was pointed out today that the American Ambassador may not have carried his request to the For- eign Office while it was engaged in the delicate situation in the German Reichstag over the submarine policy, which has been likened to the situa- tion in the American Congress over armed ships. Bernstorff Held Up Communieation. ‘ount von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, delayed presenting a communication to the State Depart- ment for two days while the con- troversy engaged Congress and it was suggested today that Gerard, con- fronted by a similar situation, may have taken a similar course.

Sir William Meredith, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Ontario, and Justice Duff of the-Supreme Court of Canada will be two of the commission- ers. A third commissioner is yet to be named by the Government and a fourth by Sir- Wilfrid Laurier. The scope of the commission will be restricted to the fuse contracts entered into between the Shell Committee, the International Fuse Co. and the American Ammunition Co». Those are the concerns that Kyte said Col. Wesley Allison, associated with B I’, Yoakum, and Eugene Lignanti were connected with and through which the profits were obtained. Gen. Hughes Sencs a Denial. Sir Robert Borden also announced that, at his request, Sir Samuel Hughes, Minister of Militia, is coming back to Canada from England to tell the com- mission what he knows about the fuse contracts. He said he had received the following cablegram from Gen. Hluxhes: “Please state to the TIlouse on my be- half that I have no improper counec- tions with contracts referred to or any other contracts. If any suggestion to the contrary is made I respectfully de- full investigation by judicial tribunal presided over Sir Charles Davison. I shall return bv next boat.” Sir Wilfrid Laurier said that this prc- pesal was not satisfactory ‘n its pre:s- ent form and was not acceptable. there was an inquiry, he said, it should be made in high court of Parlia- ment. Sir Robert Borden replied thet he did not think the proposal would satisfy the opposition, but he believed it would the people.

Fuses to the .ber of 1,250,000 were ordered from the American Ammunition Ce., organized a few weeks ago and the same number from the International Arms and ‘Fuse Co., organized about the same time. The value of the orders was more than $22,000)00 and a cash ad- vance of $2,250,000 was made, with a further cash advance of _— $1,000,000 rledged within four months. Kyte asserted that Gen.

In making the charges Kvte said: of a the “Out contracc negotiated between the Provident Chemical Works of St. louis and Allison the sale to parties uonamed of 2500 tons of picrie acid all further acids that may be obtained, Yoakum and Allison get a3 their share of commission, 5 to & cents equal to $250,000 er $300,000, case mignt be, less one-eighth paid Lignanti, which would be $31.25 or $37,500, as tne cuse might be, leaving net to Allison and Yoakum $218,750 or $262,- w0, as the case might be.”’ ——— Yoakum and for and of a pound, the to as Thomson, treasurer of the Provident Chemical Works, at 8611 Idaho street, told a Post-Dispatch reporter today that thé company never had any contract for picric acid, as stated in the Ottawa -lispatch, and never had contract war materials. lle said none of company’s officers ever heard of Allison and Lignanti urtil thev read their names in dispatches recently.

AMENDS HIS PROGRAM Adds to Previous Recommenda- tions in Several Particulars— Continues Testimony. WASHINGTON, March 31.—Further details of the navy’s needs were out. lined by Secretary Daniels when he re- sumed his testimony today before the House Naval Committee. Interest in the hearing, however, was focused largely on the expected crit- icism of the Secretary’s administration of the Navy Department. This was forecast by the course of certain com- -mitteemen in questioning previous wit- nesses. The Secretary in his statement before the committee yesterday added in sev- eral respects to the program he had mapped out in estimates previously sub- mitted to the committee. He urged the establishment of a government plant to manufacture navy projectiles; raised ihe petimate for the proposed research labor- atory from $1,900,000 to $1,500,000; asked or about 15,000 additional men instead f 10,000 and proposed that civilian edu- gators be placed at the head of the non- fnilitary departments of the Naval Acad- @my to release line officers for active Bervice. Requesting that all provisions for air ce be stricken out of the five-year ding program, Mr. Daniels urged an @ppropriation of $2,000,000 for aircraft year. He explained that there was © way of determining what expenditure. 1d be necessary in the future. Reserve YCorce Plans. An outline of the departments’ plan for building up an adequare reserve ‘orce for the navy was presented by the Sec- , . It provides for five classes of The first, to be known as 6 fleet reserve, would be composed of officers and enlisted men; the d, or naval reserve, of officers and | of the sea-going profession for en fighting ships in war; the rad or naval auxiliary reserve, of shipmasters and seamen enrolled for time duty on the auxiliary fleets; fourth or naval coast defense re- 6, of residents on or near the coast pable of serving aboard mining craft, trol vessels, torpedo boats, aircraft their respective districts; and the and the like for duty on the coasts and or volunteer naval reserve of men 4 would have no duty in peace times, Out as owners of yachts, power boats or You can’t tell what we will allow you on your old Piano in exchange for an APOLLO Player ‘Piano until you ask us.

Secretary Daniels urged the committee to report favorably the armor plate fac- tory bill which recently passed the Sen- ate and which will be taken up nex: Tuesday. He laid stress on the neces- sity, in his opinion, of providing means for establishing a fair price for armor or other material needed by the navy through equipping Government plants to produce whatever could not be obtained at a satisfactory figure by contract. Projectile Plant Vital. A projectile plant, the Secretary de- clared, was vitally important to the navy. With commercial concerns flood- ed with war orders from Europe, he said, prices were going up and it had been virtually impossible to obtain what the navy must have. He added that a Government plant would make it possi- ble to guard against navy inventions getting into the hands of possible enemy Powers, as was now almost certain tv be the case. The Secretary read a long statement showing the fluctuation in the price of projectiles asked by bidders. In spite of all the firms now engaged in manufacturing projectiles for foreign governments, he said, it is a fact that last July the department advertised for six-inch, three-inch common projectiles and was unable to obtain satisfactorv bids. And on this account only the de- partment undertook to manufacture «a large quantity of these projectiles at navy yards. When the 1914 bids for armor-piercing projectiles were advertised for, Mr. Daniels said, an English firm, Hadfields Ltd., announced its intention to bid. “The companies usually furnishing ar- mor-piercing projectiles,” he said, ‘‘a - parently understood that MHadfields would enter the field, and, notwith- standing that the last previous bids of these companies had been $490 to $500, the Crucible Steel Co., the Bethlehem Steel Co. and the Midvale Steel Co. bid at the abnormally low prices of $315, $320 and $334 each. These bids were well under those submitted by Hadfields, and that company could not obtain a con- tract. coul! Condition of Nary. “The condition in the United States today is briefly as follows: “The navy wants armor-piercing pro- jectiles, but it does not want an infe- rior quality such as the manufacturers are willing to sell as such. The manu- facturers, although they have ample ca- pacity, and although they know that projectiles in accordance with the re- quirements can be produced, are un- willing to undertake their production, but are endeavoring to force the Navy Department to pay the same price for an admittedly inferior product. “What is the answer? There can be only one: that {s, for the Navy De- partment to own and operate its own projectile plant, which will enable ‘t to fill its own requirements :1d possi- bly to improve over the qualities of private concerns.” Secretary Daniels explained that his request that the enlistment of 15,000 ad- ditional men be authorized this year would bring the force to the figure fixed by the General Board in its last com: munication on the subject, approxi- mately : 67,000 men. He suggested that the hospital corps be excluded from the authorized enlisted strength in future as in the army. While the Secretary thought it improbable that more thar: 10,00 more men could be enlisted, he pointed out that with the authorization for 15,000 and appropriations immediately available the recruiting service could be amplified so as to secure quicker results. Ship Complement Problem. As to the differing opinions among officers who have testified concerning the necessary complements for ships, Secretary Daniels said that was one of the most vexing problems, as it was seldom two Captains agreed as to the number of men they needed. The whole matter, he said, was being worked out by a board of officers. The Secretary urged the equipment of the Norfolk, Philadelphia and Puget Sound Navy Yards for heavy construc- tion and the building of a big drydock at Norfolk. He said the delay in coa- etructing battleships 48 and 44 had made it certain these ships would be far ahead of anything now afloat in torpedo pro- tection. The delay had been urged, he said, by the chief constructor, who had only recently completed his plans. Globe, 7th & Franklin. Boys’ good Norfolk suits, $1.99.

— 300 Women in Delegation 2 Which Besieges District As- sessor Brady’s Office. - fProperty owners in Carondelet swooped down on the Assessor's office today to - Protest aghinst increases in the valua- tion of their property made by James F. Brady, District Assessor. The com- Plainants numbered about 300 women and . 100 men. = 7. Brady’s district comprises all of the tee & * territory south of Meramec street and ~ Zs Pernod avenue, the largest assessment » district in St. Louis. In estimating the Value of property in this district Brady added about $7,000,000 to its assessed va! ustion. - The Carondelet delegation was so nu- - ™Merous that Brady required:+«hem to enter his office one at a time and make their complaints. Many of the women could speak only German. Dick O’Brien, - the official interpreter of the office, translated their complaints for Brady. One man who needed no interpreier was emphatic in his remarks. _ *You have added about $1000 to the us- essed valuation of my property,” he said. “You have valued it at $2100. That isn’t right, I couldn't get $2500 for it.’’ “Would you take $2500 for it?’’ asked “No, I wouldn’t. I'm holding it fur more than that.’’ Brady told the complainant he “had no kick coming,’’ as he admitted his property was worth more than the amount at which it was assedeed. “Well, I'll bet I can get the Board of - Bqualization to lower the assessment,”’ \ gaid the property owner. - “ll bet you $10 you can’t,”’ said Bra- ¥. The property owner backed down departed from the office. : em | SO ; Fay a Buys the Finest © Spring Suit = You Can Find in the 4...

NEW YORK, March 31.—Manufactvrers of automobiles connected with the Na- tional Automobile Chamber of Com- merce announced today their decision to incorporate a company with “‘an ul- timate capital of from $5,000,000 to .»,- 000,000" to produce gasoline and other products of petroleums, with the pur- pose of ‘‘demonstrating gasoline can be produced and sold at a profit at a price somewhat lower than now pre- vailing and within the means of all users of automobiles and motor boats.” Conferences of automobile manufac- turers and men engaged in oll produc- tion have been held here in the last few days and have been attended by Alfred Reeves, general manager of the National Automobile Chamber of Com- merce; S. A. Miles, manager of the New York and Chicago automobile shows, ond John A. Royal, an oil man. In a statement given out at the offices of the Automobile Chamber of Com- merce today, Royal said: “The forming of this corporation we regard as the only real remedy for ex- isting conditions. We shall at the very least demonstrate that no further in- crease in the price of oil is necessary, and so protect the business of the au- tomobile makers and their millions vf invested capital.” According to Royal, the new company will have on its board of directors a large representation of automobile anid allied interests which, despite their mil- lions of invested capital, are wholly without representation in a business so vital to its present and future welfare. It will include all interests outside the oil interests, including the _ so-called competitive oil interests. “It is not the purpose,”’ the statement continues, ‘‘to disturb the great oil in- dustry by resorting to destructive meth.- ods of competition, nor to single out for attack by any other method, but only to create a highly organized competitive company, operating for profit, with the highest ideals of business integrity in all its dealings with the people, and concerning the oil business.”’ for existence, it was said, by Miles, ‘n behalf of the automobile interests rep- resented, because consumers now are paying at the rate of $157,248,000 a year more for oil than they were paying in August, 1915. The proposed company is to file incor- poration papers in Albany today. WORK CANNOT BE CARRIED ON WITH OR WITHOUT POLICE Tinners on Building Quit When Pa- trolimen Are Called to Protect Tron Workers. It has come to this at the new build- ing of the Luyties Pharmaceutical Co., 4206 Laclede avenue, that work cannot by carried on without policemen and it cannot be carried in with policemen. Yesterday eight iron workers could not work because they were threatened by members of a rival union. Today the tinners, granitoid workers and laborers could not work because policemen were there to enable the iron workers to work. They said the rules of their unions did not permit them to work on a building that was under police protection. The police were sent at the request of Fred B. Cramer, in charge of the iron workers, who are members of Irun Workers’ Union No. 1, and are install- ing boilers on the roof. He said that yesterday 15 members of the Boiler- makers’ Union called and tried to in- cuce his men to quit, saying that the boilers were made at a shop that is un- fair. The men refused to quit and Cramer says they were threatened. The police went on the job and the tinners, gran{- told men and laborers quit. There is one consolation, though. The carpen- ters are back at work, after having Leen en a strike for more than a week. 24 New Underwood Typewriters Recently added to our equipment. toss-Gould List & Letter Co., 810 Olive St T, C.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH - “STEEL MEN EXPECT | HOUSE 10 DEFEAT ARMOR PLANT BILL — Democratic Decision to Permit Amendments to Measure Re- garded as Victory. iy Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch, WASHINGTON, March 31.—The deci- of the House to permit amendments to the Till- man bill passed by the Senate providing for the construction of an $11,000,000 Gov- ernment armor plant is hailed as a vi-- tory by the officials of the three con- cerns now enjoying a monopoly of that industry. More pressure is being exert- ed by the powerful financial influences of the country to accomplish the defeut of this measure than has been trained against any other undertaking cf the Wilson administration. The fight over the project, which wil! open next week, promises to be one of the most sensational of the session. It already has served to revive the scan- dals of 22 years ago, which involved the Carnegie Steel Co. in an attempt to take advantage of the Government and com- pelled it to forfeit $140,000 in fines. Three Firms Have Monopoly. The Carnegie company, the Bethlehem Steel Co. and the Midvale Steel Co. are the concerns monopolizing the manufac- ture of armor plate in this country. Every influence that these companies can bring to bear upon Congress to com- pel either the defeat or the emasculation of the Tillman bill is fully directed upon members of the House, following the failure to accomplish the rejection of it in the Senate. The Tillman bill is favored by the President, Secretary Daniels and naval experts. It is opposed on behalf of the three concerns engaged by nearly every trust, manufacturing corporation and financial institution in the United States. The basis of the opposition is that the establishment of a Government armor plant not only will deprive the present beneficiaries of enormous profits, but will open the way for further ‘overn- ment ownership ventures by the admin- istration. The opponents of the bill appear ‘to have a much better chance of defeating it in the House than they had in tne Senate. The Naval Committee of the House is believed to be almost solidly against the Tillman bill. four of the Democratic members—Talbott of Mary- land, Riordan of New York, Hart of sion of the Democratic caucus Don’t Wait Till the Easter rush.

Sixth St., St. Louis New Jersey and Liebel of Pennsylvania —having joined with the eight Repub- licans in opposition to the proposed Government undertaking. Kitchen Favors Bill. Claude Kitchin, majority leader, wi? is in favor of the Government owner- ship plan, expressed the opinion todav that the decision of the Democratic caucus to consider amendments to the Tillman bill now pronounced satisfac. tory by the President and the Secretary of the Navy, in itself will not endan- ger the project. He admitted, however, that chances favored extensive ameni#- ments. The armor plate monopolists are con- fident that they can get enough Demo- cratic votes to co-operate with the Re- publican minority either to defeat the measure or amend it in such a manner as to defeat its principal purposes. Two of the three companies making armor plate for the Government are controlled by men who figured promi- nently in the scandal which involved the Carnegie company 22 years ago. These are Charles M. Schwab, who is almost the sole master of the Bethle- hem company, and W. E. Cory, whio dominates the affairs of the Midvale concern. The Carnegie company is dominated by H. C. Frick, who also played a fair- ly important part in the scandals to which Government officials are now harking back for comparison with the present effort to prevent the Govern- ment from embarking into the mani- festly profitable venturé of making ar- mor. Resulted in Investigation. Disclosures made to the Government in 1894 resulted in an investigation bv the House of Representatives in that year. In accordance with a’ resolution providing for the inquiry, the Secre- tary of the Navy was called upon for information concerning alleged viola- tions by the Carnegie company of the terms of the contracts between the United States Government and that cor- poration for armor and armor plates. Hilary A. Herbert at that time was Secretary of the Navy. Secretary Herbert wrote to the Speak- er of the House, describing his own in- quiry into the alleged frauds and giving the results of his conferences with offi- cers of the Carnegie company. ported: “Mr. Frick (H. C. Frick, chairman of the Carnegie Steel Co.) was notified and came to Washington and a settlemen: was effected according to the terms of the agreement. The Carnegie Steel Co. (Ltd.) paid into the Bank of Pittsburg to the credit of the informants 935,121.25, and it credited vouchers for arms fur- nished the Government with $105,306.” The Secretary also advised Congress that “the department is informed that Supt. Schwab has since the transaction complained of having been removed from all connection as to authority over the armor department at Homestead, except so far as concerns the erecticn of new plants; also that the genera! f£uperin- tendence and control of the entire gub- ject has been placed, to their satisfac- tion, in the hands of Mr. Husicker, aig to the chairman, Mr. Fri@:."’ Settlement was Compromise. The $140,000 returned by the Carnegie company did not represent the total loss to the Government through the advan- tages taken by the Carnezie company, for which, the testimony proved, Mr. Schwab and Mr. Corey were mainly re- sponsible. The settlement ws in the na- ture of a compromise santioned hy President Cleveland, who, in a letter to the Secretary of Navy, directed that the company forfeit the sum named. “IT am satisfied,’’ wrote the Presidem, “that a large portion of the armor sup- ply was not of a quality (nat would have been produced if all possibls care and skill had been exercised in its construc- tion. I am of the opinon that, under the terms of the contract between the Gov- ernment and the company, this consti- tuted a default entitling the Government to damages.”’ In his examination by the Investiga- tion Committee, Capt. Sampson of the Ordnance Board, supplied some interest- ing evidence regarding the methods of the Carnegie company. RKepresentative Money, a member of the comfmttee, put this question to Capt. Sampson: “Who is the man immediately cespon- sible for these frauds?’ “The man, responsible who as I is Mr. Sampson: is ~ most Capt, take it, Schwab.” Congressman Money: ‘‘Hle man who personally supervised it?” Capt. Sampson: “Yes, sir. He was the general superintendent of the whole works and it was all under his personal supervision. * * * In the first place, Tfound that Mr. Schwab had a consid- erable quantity of the stogk as superin- tendent. That is, he was-given the stock while holding this office.” ollowing the settlement of the armor plate controversy in 1894, an investiga- tion developed the fact, that for years, the Bethlehem Steel Co. which since has passed into the control of Scnwah, had sold armor plate to Russia at $249 a ton, as against $616.14 charged the Unit- ed States Government for «he same ma- terial. This fact was revealed in a let- ter written by Secretary Daniels to Sen- ator Swanson a few days ago. In connection with the Russian tracts, an official of the present admin- istration supplies some very interesting information. It relates to a demand made by the late John W. tates on Mark Hanna in the Shoreham tlotel in this citv, just after the inauguration of Mr. McKinley. Gates at the time was rrominent in the steel industry. He ap- proached Hanna and said in substance: “Hanna, I want vou to make Mckin- lev appoint —— —— Ambassad>r to Rus- sia.’’ was the cone- Hanna Flares Up. lianna flared up at once and retorted: “Why should | ask Mclkkiniey to ap- point that man to Russia?” “Well,”’ drawled Gates suavely, *‘vou've got to do itt for the same rea- son that you told me that the steel peo- ple had to contribute $100,000 to McKin- lev's campaign.

Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch LONDON, March 4.—Jabez Spencer Balfour, the most. successful “high” financier ever produced by England, and for whose motto the comic periodical Punch proposed ‘‘Let us prey,’’ is dead. his career having ended on an express train. Balfour, who at one time Was a mem- ber of Parliament and considered for a Government post, furnished the coun- try with a sensation that endured for three years. His Liberator Building Society, which collapsed 24 years ago, ruined hundreds and robbed thousands of investors of savings. Some of these confiding people ended their lives, others died from broken hearts. For the se- ries of crimes which brought all this about he was sentence to prison for two terms, aggregating 14 years, but was released in 1906, after serving a lit- tle more tnan 10 years.

The most remarkable hygienic corset ever made is also the most lovely style corset made. Its fine material and its gracefully beautiful lines delight the hearts of women who want an ultra- stylish figure. We are proud of Wonderlift Corsets. They represent the highest achievement in corset-mak- ing, because their way is Nature’s way.

LONDON, March 31.—A young Amer. ican woman of striking beauty was sen- tenced to two months in prison on one charge, committed for trial on others and recommended for deportation. Elaine Dudley Robeson is the name under which she spent considerable time at one of-the leading hotels of London. She had with her a small child and a nurse. At the Savoy Hotel she reg- istered as Lady Helen Reddall. Her statement to the clerk, as testified by him, was that she was tiiere to await the arrival of a man she was to marry. Luncheons, motor rides and hair dress- ing, along with her rooms, ran up a bill of $250 in nine days, when the manage- ment deemed it time to request a settle- ment. Then it developed that she was without the necessary funds and her ar- rest was caused and the sentence fol- lowed, Other evidence showed ‘hat at one ho- tel she stated that she had been turned out of her flat F. her husband, and at another that her husband was an army officer at the front.

Hle is cute enough. “After breakfast he ordered me to the bridge with him and gave orders where he wanted us to go. He wanted ug to keep down the coast and close enough for him to pick a landing place. When he had made up his mind where to land he ordered the crew brought up to launch a lifeboat for him, and picked tbre2 men to man the boat.

People who are confined within doors and who are deprived of fresh, invigor- ating air and exercise must take pre- caution to guard against over-stoutness as fat acquired by indoor iife is un- healthy and a danger to the vital organs of the bodv. Lack of exercise in the fresh air is said to weaken the oxygen- carrying power of the blood, so that it is unable to produce strong muscles and vitality. and the formation of unsightly and unhealthy fat is the result. If you are 15 or 20 pounds above nor- mal weight you are daily drawing on your reserve strength and are constantly lowering your vitality by carrying this excess burden. Any persons who are gat- isfiegd in their own mind that thev ar. too stout are advised to go to Wolff- Wilson Drug Co, or a good druggis: and get a box of oll of korein capsules and take one after each meal and one just before retiring at night.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, The press reports that the counsel for the self- confessed murderer, Dr. Waite, of New York, ad- vised his client not to tell it all, but a limited rtory of his crime, and in the same report states that the Prosecutor is trying to get information against an embalmer whom, the prisoner states, he paid to help him hide the crime. Neither the embalmer or the counsel {s believed to have known nor helped the prisoner destroy the life of bis wife’s parents, but after he had done s0, both the embalmer (as reported) and the counsel accepted money to help hide the crime, and it will likely prove very interesting to your read- ers to have the opinion of the legal and lay readers of your paper on this subject—that is, is the act of the embalmer more wrong than the counsel, when the help of each is naturally for the same purpose. KF. A. F. Why Americans Condemn Kaliserism. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. A few days ago the newspapers published an article written by Herr von Jagow in which he auked why the American people are hostile toward the Germans, I, as an American, would like to answer, for his information, that the Americans are not hostile to the German geuple; but they condemn the actions of the German Government— the Kaiser. ~- America has demanded Villa, dead or alive, for what he has done; now let us consider what he gid as compared with what the Kaiser has done. Villa has killed a few Americans. How many has the Kaiser killed? Villa has not openly de- glared that he did not consider a treaty, which is the most sacred international law, a “scrap of paper.” Villa is not gifted with all the education and educated supporters that the Kaiser has; hence the American Christian spirit does not ex- pect of him what they do of the Kaiser—or rather should. I am of German descent and was always in Geep eympathy with Germany until the day she erossed into Belgium and declared international law a “scrap of paper,’ and ever since that day has tried to conquer by means of “might” in- stead of the American principle, which is “right,” and which has always, since the beginning of time, superseded “might.” The way to judge what will be {is by what has been, and never yet has an individual or a nation which became self-righteous failed to fall. And the Americans are a scriptural people; they be- lieve in the command “Thou shalt have no other Gods before Me,” and know that Germany shall fail by reason of idolizing the Kaiser, while the German people seem to think their success lies in this fact. My heart even now goes out to the German people as it did to the Belgians; but never will there te any hopes for them; never will they be able to avert an even worse calamity than the Belgians met, unless they compel themselves to accépt things as they actually are and not just as the Kalser would like to have them. These are the views of an American and not an ally, and for the purpose only of causing the good German people to see, before it is too late, that their god is a false god after all, and that to worship a false god is sin; and the “wages of sin is death,’ which is rapidly overtaking them as a nation. H. E. BARBER, Bast St. Louis, Ill. Government Pensions Opposed. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It was with great interest that I read the let- ter signed “Press Committee,” in reference to the ‘“superarnuated Government's employes.” J’ension is a fine thing for deserving people. Now, personally I am acquainted with at least 10 postal employes who work on an average of 10 or 12 pe per month and receive $1500 per year. Some these are conducting other business, contrary None. ef these have an eighth-grade education and prior to getting these ' £pesitions never earned more than $2 or $2.60 per | ay for 10 hours’ work. It would be very sad _ to think that they could not save enough of this “gravy” during their almost life-long snap to keep them in their old ages.

EIGHT-HOUR DAY ON RAILROADS. Formal notification of the new scale of pay demanded by the four great unions of railroad employes was made Thursday on St. Louis rail- rcad managers. The 30-day period allowed the managers for acceptance opens with the public prejudiced against a demand that follows so closely other important ‘concessions made to these unions in the immediate past and confused by the conflict between contradictory, absolutely irreconcilable statements. The managers say that the success of the eight- hour day in other industries afford no analogy for judging of its effects in tfansportation, in which time is the vita elément. The employes say the\ghalogy is virtually com- plete at all points. The managers, declaring the eight-hour day hope- lessly impractical, point to the dual rule under which work for 10 houre without completion of 100 miles in transit or the completion of 100 miles without work for 10 hours constitutes in either case a day, which rule is to be adjusted to the eight-hour, 100-mile basis. They say a train crew which had completed eight hours, with its train still 20 miles from its destination, would either be continued at pay for time and a half or replased by a new crew, which might earn a day’s pay. by working perhaps two hours or by completing only 20 miles on the mileage basis. The employes retort that this rule can be made as practical under the eight-hour as under the 10-hour day by speeding up the average time of trains, which also would give benefits to ship- pers. The managers deduce from the circumstances of the case that it is an insincere demand for the benefits of the eight-hour day; that it is only an attempt to force the use of a shorter unit of measurement to give enormously increased pay; that employes under the new scale will work just as Icng as at present, while new costs to the amount of: $100,000,000 will be imposed on railroads and public. The employes assert that it is a genuine effort tc. secure that {improvement in working condi- tions which results from the adoption of the eight-hour schedule generally, and that the in- creased cost will be almost negligible and con- fined largely to switchyard and other localized work. With these and other unadjustable differences in statement, the public, whose interests sur- pass those of either managers or workers, takes its stand on one unassailable position: That the case is indisputably one for arbitration. Only in light of the truth, as determined by disinter- ested arbiters, can the merits of the ex-parte contentions diametrically opposed to one another be determined. If we continue to bolt our flour and bolt our food, we may expect to have trouble in our in- teriors. 7 = = ae HEARSE-CHASING ADMINISTRATORS. In the matter of Harry Troll vs. the estate of Louis H. Brinkwirth, the Supreme Court thus ex- presses its opinion of hearse-chasing Public Ad- ministrators whose conception of a great trust is limited to its opportunities for official fees: The promptness with which he discharged that portion of what he conceived to te his duty inspires one of normal sensibility with the very consciousness of a presence with plercing eyes and invisible wings—hovering over the home of sorrow, watching and wait- ing—and when death falls and the watchers yet weep, sitting noiselessly down to his re- past. From which it appears that the learned Jus- tices’ estimate of that kind of a Public Adminis- trator differs from that of a disgusted public principally in being expressed in more polite language. : re Lr r oe Not the shooting of Villa in a limb, but his suspension from a limb, is what is called for. LL Le» a ENGLAND AND OUR MAIL SACKS. Lord Robert Cecil indignantly denies that En- gland is censoring the mails from this and other countries in the design of stealing American trade secrets and American trade. England steal trade secrets? Senator Hitchcock and others in this country ought to be ashamed of themselves for making such a cruel charge. She has tied up millions and millions of dollars’ worth of Amer- ican goods in her prize courts, she has not settled yet even for the three ships loaded with meat products she seized in the first weeks of the war, she makes the increase in our trade to European neutrals the excuse for high-handed acts, though her own trade to those neutrals has also increased and she is edging in on us wherever she can. She has the nerve to open our mail sacks, but she wouid not steal any trade secrets or fill her- self any mail orders for goods she finds in the sacks. Commercial England would scorn to do anything like that. = = > = ‘‘ALL THE TRAFFIO WILL BEAR.’’ It might be supposed, from the suit of a local physician agaigist a patient who resists payment of his bill on the ground of exorbitance, that the sole standard regulating medical charges is the ability of the patient to pay. A surgeon, it appears from the testimony, would charge a millionaire a great deal more for re- moving a wart than he would charge a man in limited circumstances, for instance a newspaper worker. But, unfortunately, the charge for re- moving a wart would afford no guidance in gpec- ulating on the charge for removing an appendix. Probably no penniless patient against whom any charge at all would be made for appendix re- moval could ever hope to escape with as small a bill as that made against even a multimillion- aire for wart removal. So there are standards other than the ability of the patient to pay, though the latter is a most important, perhaps the chief, standard. It seems to the layman a shockingly empiric basis in a profession ii which everything else is supposed to be on a strictly scientific basis. A patient, if permitted to fix the honorarium, might properly proportion it to his means, just as he fixes his subscription to his preacher or the political can- didates to whom he is partial. But admitting the definite worth of a doctor’s time and skill, why he waste that valuable time and opportunity for. the exercise of that valuable skill by wrangling in a courtroom? To charge all the traffic will bear seems per- fectly in accord with medical ethics, if the doctor can get it. The safety rule for the patient is to see that the doctor has no exaggerated idea of your bank account before the anesthetic is ad- ministered. a i i A THE LITERACY TEST WINS. The immigration bill, including the literacy test, passed the National House of Representa- tives by a majority large enough tc overcome 2 presidential veto. The test was slightly modified to admit relatives of persons in this country and certain classes of refugees from religious persecu tion. No exeeption is made for political refugees who may be fleeing from death or intolerable op- pression. Unless the Senate shall succeed in eliminating the test, which is improbable, America will no longer be the refuge for all the oppressed and downtrodden of the earth. We limit the refuge to the educated oppressed, which includes as a rule the least oppressed and those who can best take care of themselves in their own country. The poor toilers who are forced by oppression and poverty into involuntary ignorance are shut out. They may be honest; they may be indus- trious; they may have the qualities to make good citizens under out free institutions and with opportunity to obtain free education, but because they have been denied the advantage of education we deny them admittance to America. Among those who will be shut out under the literacy test are the honest, industrious, thrifty peasantry and wage-earning classes under the worst despotisms in Europe, which in the past have contributed vastly to oyr wealth and pros- perity. These immigrants have tilled the soil @nd cone the heavy work of industry and commerce. America has profited richly from their labors and from the labors of their educated descendants. The only hope for a better expression of Amer- ‘can spirit lies in the Senate. It {is not promis- ing. Congress seems determined to shut the gates of the country against immigration. That better public opinion which hitherto has found a-voice in presidential vetoes should be brought to bear on the Senate. r= = * — — LICKING THE WORLD. Our interest and sympathy are both stirred by the reported experience of a German full of Ken- tucky whisky who walked into a Morgan street saloon and in the face of a Russo-Franco-Irish- American audience asserted that Germany could ‘lick the world.” They did not wait for him to mobilize, violate the neutrality of Belgium, cross the French border, call out the Landsturm, or do anything further. In short, he lies at the city hospital with a smeared physiognomy in which the features are blurred as though painted by an Impressionist or Futurist. Also, during the argu- ment $600 fell out of his pocket, leaving him busted. Licking the whole world is a large and expensive operation. oe. JEFFERSON COUNTY ROADS. Citizens of Jefferson County do not lack con- vincing arguments for the good roads bond issue which is to be submitted to the people April 15. There are no arguments against good roads and the wisdom of obtaining money to build them through a bond issue was clearly demonsirated in the St. Louis County good roads campaign. First and most important, the bond issue as- sures the building of good roads in the shortest possible time. Under Missouri law there is no Other way to get permanent good roads. Provid- ing a ready fund through a bond issue assures the most economical and best constructed roads. They begin to pay at once. There is now a special reason for the Jefferson County bond issue. The good roads in that county will connect with the good roads in St. Louis County and will form thoroughfares to the beau- tiful Ozark country for the large population of St Louis County. Jefferson County will profit immediately and richly on account of its accessi- bility to tourists and visitors, who will not only spend money in the county, but may become in- vestors and residents. The foundation of growth, progress and prosperity is a system of good roads, As the next county to vote on the good roads issue, Jefferson is in the spotlight. The people of the county can put it on the progressive map by voting the bonds. ee — he Colonel is putting forth a great deal of ghastly nonsense. j . 4. i is MILITARY MUSIC. “This war has proved how indispensable mill- tary music is,” says the Berliner Tageblatt; “not only to beat the time and give rhythm to the march, for which it is very useful indeed, espe- cially since the attacking step has been increased from 75 (in 1785) to 114 (in 1916) steps a minute.” It continues: A regiment with music easily makes 36 miles a day; One without music finds it dif- ficult to march 25 miles. As soldiers must move with machine-like rhythm, nothing gives them that rhythmic sense more perfect- ly than the military music. Like their own drilling, music brings home to them the dis- cipline of tempo. But not only that, music has helped the soldiers of the trenches over the nervous strain and made their life at least in a measure livable. The article then proceeds to place military bands in times of peace when, says the paper, they are just as indispensable; because they in- etill into early youth rhythmie discipline, the foundation of soldiering, the “vocation of every German.” ; Socially also the military bands are of great uege in small places, where they not only light the fires of soldierly ambition in the growing youth, but instill enthusiasm and patriotism as well: and with the admixture of string instru- ments lay the foundations of classical taste in music and perpetuate nationalism in that they present national] music to the exclusion of foreign tone schemes. Civil musicians may object in times of peace to the wanderings of military bands; but the very uniform of the military aggregation is help- ful towards arousing the national! spirit, fully as should he himself vary that worth according to the bank account of the beneficiary? Why should ‘much as the colors of the national flag. a y - 2 74 ras ie f ‘4 «, ry: -- fae ot sft » ’ » > *. wie - . sf f vl. ‘ ) f °. r Mae eA ’ oo J ad > 4 2 a 2 4 - Nas - te) Se es é O Mera ss = a ks . | ‘ we @ ; 1 Py é wes pay Li e . 4 * Seer 4 # “¢ ¢ fs } ‘ ke ~~ : - > , * ‘ . . . ye = ** * * .

Sir: Can you give me the origin of the word ‘‘snip- er’’ in the sense it is used today? If it is derived from the word ‘‘snipe’’ as its spelling would indicate then its meaning is much confused, for ‘‘snipe’’ means ‘‘bird,’’ ‘‘fool’’ or ‘‘blockhead’’ and none of those words would fit a man hiding behind a rock or a chimney, gun in hand, intent on cutting short the life of another man. If, on the contrary, it is dert- vative of the word ‘‘snip’’ which means ‘‘to cut short,’’ its meaning is retained, but its spelling is wrong. Please tell me which word is the root. N. C. B. Unfortunately, we cannot. It is sometimes said that the term comes to us from the guttersnipe, or street Arab, who darts out for the butt of a cigar, or as the slang expression goes, ‘‘shoots a snipe.’” The Standard Dictionary says that to snipe is to fire on the enemy at long range, or from ambush. The peo- ple who fired on our men from the housetops and win- dows of Vera Cruz were called snipers. Similarly the Belgians who fired on the Germans from house- tops and windows were called snipers. However, the term does not imply a distinction between soldiers and civilians, for we read that there are snipers in the trenches in FPlanders. The word seems to hare been given breadth in its meaning until it bas dis- placed sharpshooter. One almost sever hears of sharpshooters any more, though that term was gener- on i ae =“. ee oe — we Cadet Sal AROS ae bt Pil at, RN TH ttl ME eo ally used during our Civil War. We quite agree JUST A MINUTE Written fer the POST-DISPATCH by Clark McAdams ew ee ee en, with you that one firing from behind a chimney or tree is no blockhead, as the old definition insisted. Upon the contrary. Nor do we think very much of Ship, to cut short, as the root of sniper. A well- placed bullet cuts short as readily, whether fired from behind a rainbarrel or from the open, if it hits one in the right place. It is almost equally hard to see what relation there is, if any, between shooting enipe in the gutter and firing on an enemy over the false front of a flat. The term more likely owes its origin to snipe shooting. The jacksnipe is a very hard bird to hit on the wing, and one reaching out from vehind a telegraph pole trying to shoot a soldier and get back before the soldier or his comrades let daylight through him is in the same hurry to shoot that the hunter is in when a snipe flies up. Sportamen have aiways called this snap shooting, but if sniping is insisted upon they have no objection. Anything to indicate a heluva hurry, begging pardon. WATCH ON THE RIO GRANDE.

The peasant’s face went ghast- ly white as his eyes met the captain's. The officer made no sign of recogni- tion, but let his glance stray to Joco’s second bear and to a girl who sat be- side it on the ground. A Bewitching Dance. HIS other bear was much smaller 7 and gentler than Ibrahim. It was yellow and _ “*roly-poly, a_ born clown. Joco had named it ‘‘Mariska.’’ The girl, who sat beside Mariska, was gloriously beautiful. Capt. Winter flushed with admiration as he looked at her. She was getting to her feet, at an order from Joco, and was dragging ker little bear out into the cleared space. She was evidently a favorite with the villagers. They hailed her as ‘‘Zorka,” aud shouted delightedly as she nodded and smiled at them. “Jump, Mariska! gaily. The little bear hopped about in a clown- dance until even the call of ‘‘Jump, Ma- riska! Jump!"’ could no longer arouse the beast to fresh agility. Then Zorka did a dance on her own account—a dance so wildly daring and, withal, so graceful, that Capt. Winter was utterly bewitched. That evening, when the show was v Vv- er, Joco and Zorka returned to the inn with their tired bears. Ibrahim was se- curely tied in a cupboard and Zorka went to a private sitting room to rest. Joco was about to follow her when Capt. Winter stopped him. “I know you,” said the captain. ‘“‘You are a man who deserted from my regi- ment two years ago. At a word from me you will be sent to prison. Sell"me Your slave girl, Zorka, and I will not only let you go free, but pay you a good price for her." Joco tearfully protested that he loved Zorka and that she loved him. Winter was not to be shaken by any appeals Again he gave the peasant his choice of going to prison or giving up Zorka. Jump!" she cried, At last, with a sigh of relief, Joco Payson Terhune. THE BEAR; By Etienne Barsony. agreed to the cruel bargain. He even consented to go to the sitting room and break the news to Zorka. Presently he returned to the captain and said, brok- enly: “Come this way, Bie to her.” | Beyond the Closed Door. RIUMPHANTLY, the captain fol- 7 lowed him down the corridor. Joco flung open a door. The vic- torious Winter strode acros the thresh- old. Joco slammed shut the door be- hind him. A moment later, through panel, came a yell of fear, a deep growl. Joci had ushered Capt. Winter into the closet where Ibrahim was tied.

Jump!’’ Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as ‘ood left in the open air, says a noted authority.

ELMAN, THE BOY VIOLINIST, BECOMES MATURE IN YEAR Twelve Months of Seclusion Work Wonders With Style of Virtuoso. By RICHARD L. STOKES, URING the interval since Mischa [) Elman, the Russian violinist, last appeared itn St. Louis, he carried out a resolution of no little heroism, in- spired by a critical faculty of introspec- tion rare among the self-satisfied race of artists. His determination was nothing less than that of retiring from the con- cert stage for a sabbatical year of self- discipline, of ripening and refining his art. Celebrated us a prodigy since his first public perfvimance at the age of lz years, Elman had the courage and mod- esty to believe that he was in danger of becoming narrowly one-sided. He hai confined himself to the violin repertory, but now felt imperatively the need of that wide education in all forms of music Which is essentia! to a well-rounded artistic personality. So; for a year he forgot that he was a violin virtuoso, at- tended tirelessly the opera and sympho- ny concerts in New York, studied com- position, writing an orchestral suite, be- sides many violin pieces and songs, and found for the first time opportunity to read some of the books which make for general culture. Experiment Cost $150,000. This experiment cost him in money, he estimates, $154,000, the sum which his earnings as one of the most popular of fiddlers would have attained during the vear; but that it earned for him a precious development in his art was proved most decisively in his recital last night at the Odeon, before a larye adi- ence of the eagerness and loyalty which characterize the Elman following. Vanished aimost entirely were the vouthful excesses, the idiosyncrasies of temperament, the sensational plays to the groundlings, the tendency to smears of sentimentality, which once distressed his admirers; end instead there appeared an artist of adult stature, poised, re- strained and matured. It was a new and vastly fine: Elman who wrought his miracles of fiddling upon the Odeon stage, and one equipped for high rank among the illustrious violinists ot the day. His development was nowhere re- vealed more strikingly than in the most important number of his program, the “Concerto Pathetique,’’ in F-sharp mi- nor, by Heinrich Ernst, a composer of the middle of the nineteenth century. This is notorious as the most difficult composition ever written for the vioiin, and it is related that the composer hiim- self, although a virtuoso of renown, did not always escape coming to grief in essaying its enormous technical ex- actions. Holds Self in Check. Such a number might easily degener- ate into a mere show piece, a vehicle for parading the performer's technique. But it was not so with the new Elman; the pyrotechnics which would once have afforded him a brilliant opportunity for display were thrust firmly into a sec- ondary place, so that probably not one in 20 among the audience had an idea of the feats of virtuosity which he flung off with such unostentatious facility. But there were few who did not per- ceive the composition’s nobility of thought, the eloquent bringing forth of which was clearly the first matter in the violinist’s purpose. Elman has always been the rich beauty of his tone, safely be said that today he has no equal among violinists in the produc- tion of sensuous and sumptuous sound. He owes something of this, of course, to his magnificent Stradavarius_ instru- ment: but other violinists posess sucil instruments without rivaling his tone, so that this must be considered one of E}- man’s personal gifts. Opulence of Notes. The opulence of the notes drawn from his violin, raining down upon the sense of hearing in a shower of golden sounds, was the outstanding feature of his playing. At times the flashing splendors of his tone be- came almost intolerably dazzling to the ear, like light thrown ‘into the eyes from a mirror. One became possessed with a pagan joy in beau- tiful sound for its own sake, and felt certain that it would be a voluptuous pleasure merely to hear Elman play scales. ? But into this body of physical love- liness was breathed a soul by reason of the intense emotional ardor which is another of Elman’ s individual traits. Time was when he let his feelings run riot; but now, under the restraint of his ripened intelligence, they are held in firm leash, with the result that he is able to achieve some of the most ravishing effects of In- terpretation possible to the violin. One of his women, Schubert's “Ave Maria.” in Wilhélmj’s arrangement, may be cited. In addition to the radiance of his tone and its organ- like richness, this number was unfor- getiable for its. emotional compul- sion, leading many to the edge of tears. It was easily the most moving and poetic of his offerings. The program began with Antonio Vi- valdi’s long overlooked Concerto in G Minor, which had its birth in Venice in the seventeenth century, and portrays artistic Italy of that time in the ta- gratiating melody of its pure, gently flowing and untroubled song. The se- notable for and it may fitted to Elman’'s genius in cantileve, and the old-style figurations and ara- besques of the two allegro movements were performed with fine elegance of technique. In the encore, a Rondino «on a theme by Beethoven, written by Fritz Kreisler and dedicated to Elman, tie violin became almost articulate, and seemed uncannily on the verge of add- ‘ne words to the song. The next number was a set of varia- tions on a theme written by Mozart when he wns 7 vears olf, made by Scolero, a present-day Spanish composer, ‘ with a | an arioso {from a cantata by worthy of Brahms “a group of lighter works— Bach, ar- ranged for violin ty Sam Franko; the Wieniawsk.-nreisler Caprice in E-flat Major; an oid French song by Michiels, “Nuit de Mai,’ arranged by Elman, and a vigorously rhythinic ‘‘Country Dance,” by Weber, also adapted for the violin y Elman. The appluuse, arousingly spontaneous and insistent, called for five encores, among which could not be lacking the inevitable “Humoreske’”’ of Dvorak and Beethoven's **“Menuette.’’ But these though almost played to death by legions —— — iInsenuity Then came of violinists, took on new life and mean- ing under the magic of Elman’s bow. It seemed generally agreed that this young Russian had offered one of the most steadily pleasurable violin recitals ever heard tn this city, and that at the }age of 25 years, he already stands in the small company of the most gifted violin- ists of our time. $384,000 Werth of Milk for Allies, ALLIANCE, O., March 31.—The en- tente allies yesterday placed an orde: with the Highland Milk Condensing Co. at Minerva for 80,000 cases of milk for th: armies.

LITERACY TEST IS FYPECTED 10 PASS Tht SENATE ALSO Those Back of Advanced Line Catch Rabbits, Fish, Swim and Enjoy Incidents of Camo — Approved by the Lower House by a Vote of 308 to 87. WASHINGTON, March 31.-The fight aguinst the House Iinmigration Bill pre- scribing a literacy test for the adinis- sion of aliens, was today transferred to the Senate, although its passage there is fully expected. As it went to the Senate following its pussage by the House by a Vote of ‘ws to 87 late yesterday, the bill contained provisions for a literacy test and Asiatic exclusion. Opponents of the measure centered their efforts on having the literacy test feature eliminated, but in this they were unsuccessful. Similar Bills Vetoed. Three presidents including Mr. Wilson have vetoed similar bills because of literacy test provisions and attempts to pass the measures over the presidential veto have always failed in one house or the other. While the President has not made known his intentions, Representative Burnett, author of the bill, and chair- rian of the Immigration Committee, predicts that if he should veto the measure it can be repassed over his head. The literacy test about which the fight against the bill had centered was sustained, 284 to 107. Both record votes—on the literacy test and on the passage of the bill—were without regard to party lines. Majority Leader Kitchin voted for the literacy test and for the bill. Minority Leader Mann voted against the literacy test and then for the bill. During the debate the Humphrey re- ciprocal exclusion amendment adopted Tuesday, aimed at _ retaliation upon British Columbia, because of its exclu- sion of skilled and unskilled labor from this and other foreign countries, was modified upon discovery that it oper- ated against immigration from Russia. Troops in Mexico Bake 400 Loaves oft Bread, Big as Derby Hat, Daily 5 Life— Equipment Severely Tested. Ev Agsociated Presa, FIELD HEADQUARTERS, AMER- ICAN EXPEDITION FORCES, CO- LONIA DUBLAN, Chilh@ahua, March Zi, by motor truck to Columbus, N. M., March 31.—KEstablishment of a field bak- ery on a Mexican plantation near head- quarters has released half a dozen at- tomobiles for other work which up to today have been distributing bread baked on the United States border, among the columns of the expedition. The new field kitchens, comprising two ovens, each nearly the size of a garage, are capable of turning out 5400 one- pound loaves of bread per day. A one- pound loaf of army bread is a duay’s ration for a soldier in the field. It is about the size of a derby hat, but not so symmetrical. Cost of Transportation Heavy. The estimated cost of carrying bread from the border to the bases automobile trucks was $60 per day for gasoline fuel alone. More important than the saving in money was the lease of automobiles and other trans- port facilities for carrying additional supplies. The space released can fur- nish a daily grain supply for about one regiment of cavalry horses. The bread baked in the new ovens is from native Mexican flour, the first ob- tained by the expeditionary columns. The ovens are made of native brick and adobe mud. EKach oven has a large fire- box inclosed on all sides by thick brick and mud walls. A wood fire is built in this box, burning for about an hour un- til the temperature in the box is about 600 degrees. Then the fire is removed quickly, a wet cloth on a pole wipes out the wooden ashes and, with a wooden ladle with a handle about 20 feet long, dough loaves are deposited in the fire- box. In about an hour they are done this til re: without interruption, day or night, the bakers working in eight-hour shifts. The yeast for this bread is made from Mexican potatoes, in big barrels. A lit- tle sugar is put into the dough. Devices Get Thorough Test. Whatever the outcome of the chase for Villa, it is evident that the army here in Mexico, under Brigadier-Gen- eral Pershing, is making an actual test of the military inventions, under serv- ice conditions. Through cooks’ outfit, auto trucks and aeroplanes, hundreds of officers are acquiring vast amounts of serviceable information which will be for officials charged effect national de- fense preparation in the United States. More than one type of motor truck is in use among the 54 machines of this class doing transport duty. These trucks under test in a country without where hill and mountain climb- rocky trails are necessary, if The big trucks them, out- soon available with putting into are roads, ing on the army is to subsist. not only have done all expected ° but they have, in several respects, done the fimous lighter makes of aui- pace-making, under differ- tomobile in ent conditions. | = The aviation service 18 working under conditions calculated to bring out sharp- ly every defect which may be remedied in increasing the aeroplane establish- ment. The army in the field already has met the problem of living in a country whien is practically without salt. With the expectation that it would in part live off the country through which it is passing, paving for what it consumes, even the secanty food supplies which were anticipated in the devastated ‘Chi- huahua districts. have not all mate- r‘alized. w».ost of -the available pork, for example, has been found infected | => upon «! sub- the ~ork army quick dents have thrown Own resources stitutes for the ordinary tenance. Men Come Through Tests Well, The soldiers by hard work, the endu’- ance of the cavalry horses and the re- markable marching powers displayed bh, the infantrymen have made up for 4s considerable portion of this handicap. Adaptability of the troops to emergen- cies, displaved under the tests of this campaign, has furnished many practical] object lessons as to the lengths to which American armies can be driven on forced marches, without loss of or- ganization or doing harm to the men These troops made record marches dur- ing their first day out, but, according to the reports reaching here and the evident physical hardness of the in the base camps, the men are condition not only to repeat, but to ¢x- ceed their past performances. In spite of campaign hardships, the camp life in Mexico is beginning to pro- duce its round of humorous incidents.

Histon ! ay parbesthnty ; thick murk, so dense as to be almost tactile, filled the Ps endless reaches of space and enshrouded the city with @ pall, There was no stir of life—no sound—no movement of man or hbeast—-no rustle of leaf or twig—only the awful stillness ef a corpse-like world. ‘ Suddenly, in one corner of the great Circus Maximus—in a little wooden booth used by the jugglers and mountebanks of the das=-a slender, yellow tongue of flame shot out from @ crack in the wall and licked its way to the roof. Crawling slowly along. it crept from board to board till the flimsy structure burst into blaze. The next booth followed, and the next; and the mighty edifice of the Cireus itself became as heat of ° with trichinae. These and othe; inci- —_— It was changed so as to make it applil- cable only to a “contiguous foreign country.’’ Representative Bennet of New York read to the House a telegram from Louis Marshall of New York, pointing out that the amendment as originally adopted would interfere with the right of asylum, and saying: “So far as the Russian Jew is con- cerned, it will exclude him altogether, because Russia has steadfastly for- bidden American Jews to enter her do- main, even though they bear American passports.” “The literacy test as adopted would exclude all aliens over 16 years old, physically capable of reading, who can- not read English or some other lan- guage, except certain relatives of per- sons already in this country and cer- tain classes of refugees from religious persecution. Aslatic Exclusion. Asiatic exclusion provisions specifical. ly bar Hindus and add to the excluded classes ‘“‘persons who cannot become eligible, under existing laws, to become citizens of the United States by natur- alization unless otherwise provided for” by existing of future treaties conven- tions or agreements. Pacific coast members were satisfied with this provision, which gives legis- lative recognition to the existing so- called ‘“‘gentlemen'’s agreement’ with Japan for the exclusion of Japanese la- borers, and the committee advised the House tlrat there was nothing offensive in the language to the Immigration Bu- reau, the State Department or to any Government. Other Provisions. Other provisions of the bill extend and strengthen the laws regarding smuggling and harboring of inadmis- sable aliens, increase the penalties in- posed on such companies for illegal acts in connection with immigrant traffic requires such companies to repay pas- sage expense to rejected aliens, double the head tax from $4 to $8, and imposs restrictions designed to prevent alier: seamen who leave their ships from re- maining in this country. Throughout the House cials of the American Federation of Labor have been in the gallery and they checked off the votes of members during the roll-calls. ee ee EO ee GIRL TO PROSECUTE NEGRO SHE SAYS TRIED TO KISS HER Chauffeur Accused of Trying to Em. brace Young Woman He Offered SLASHES PRICES for Saturday.

LOUIS FOUND Yes, she has been found—the hap- piest woman in all St. Louis. Laughing in a hearty, merry way; speaking the language of health and contentment, Mrs. W. Pott, 6110 Gar- field avenue, St. Louis tells a story of how she found a recipe for joy. The keynote of her gladness /s “Taniac.” The downcast and weary should hear what Mrs. Pott has to say about this wonderful word. She never even says “Tanlac” without a smile. “T suffered with stomach trouble,” said Mrs. Pott, “I would eat but very little and was so run down I could hardly get around. I was bothered with gas and would get dizzy spells and fainty feelings. I tried every- thing I could think of and got no relief. “Finally I tried Tanlao, & first noticed that I could sleep better, then my appetite returned and now I can eat anything without discom- fort. My food gives me strength, too. I feel stronger in every way, and since taking Tanlac I believe I am the happiest woman in St. Louis. I want to recommend Tanlac to my friends and others who suffer as I did. Anybody who wishes to know more of Tanlac is at liberty to come to me and I will tell them what it did for me.” Tanlac is being introduced in St. Louis, by an expert, at the Seventh and St. Charles street store of the Johnson-Enderle-Pauley Drug (Co., and at the Wolff-Wilson Drug Store, Sixth and Washington avenue.

MARSANS WORKS OUT WITH BROWNS’ SECOND Cuban Athlete Will Have _ Hard Task Ousting Michi- gan Slugger From Center- field Position. By W. J. O’Connor. Unless Miller Huggins hands Mr. Jones the iron double-cross in his se- lection of pitchers for the second game of the spring series tomorrow at Robison Field, the Brown manager will present an altered line-up, to in- elude Babe Borton and Charley Deal. George Sisler will continue in center field. Huggins says he will use the same lineup as last Sunday, with Henry Lee Meadows in the firing pit. That would be a battle array something jike this: BROW NS— Shotton If Tobin rf Sisler cf Pratt 2b Miller 1b Borton ib Cruise rf Deal 3b Betzel 2b Clemons-Hartley cHornsby ss Snyder c Meadows p Jones selected the above lineup for his first team, yesterday, and sent it against the second squad, much to the surprise of the railbirds, who ex- pected to see Armando Marsans in center field for the Regulars. How- ever, George Sisler gave such an ex- shibition of hitting that Marsans might just as well have been in Cuba.. Sisler Fools Fielders. Up four times, Sisler acquired as many hits, two of them for extra bases. He started with a single to left, came back with a double to left center, and when the enemy played him for a left field hitter, he shook up right field with a roaring triple * Just inside the line. His final single ' Was a scratch. 4 Withal, Sisler’s team was beaten ' because Tillie Walker hove to, in ~~» the eighth, with a home run into the aa eboard with three. on. That brOught the eventual score to 7—6, ' Fincher pitching for the Yannigans against McCabe for the Regulars. Mc- Cabe was wild in spots. One interesting feature of the first practice game on the home loam was the evtingg 3 of George Allen Vlincher, the Little Rock hurler. He went to bat 119 times in Little Rock last season and attained an average of only .202, but included in his collection of 24 hits, were five doubles, two triples and one home run. He made a home run yesterday that provoked rounds of applause from the Players. it was a line drive to center field that never attained a height of more than 20 feet but continued on a bee-line over Sisler’s thougnt tower -to the outer reaches of the park. Del Pratt opined that it was the hardest hit ball - he ever had seen travel. It collided “with the gate in the farthast corner of the ball park with such momentum that Sisler retrieved it 50 feet from the fence. Fincher scored standing up. He had two other hits, figuring in the run-getting. Ropes Stretched for Sunday. Business Manager Rickey anticipates big business for the third game, Sun- day, at the Browns’ park. He already has the ropes stretched and if the field is water soaked he may distribute zome straw for the fans to stand on. No matter how Saturday’s game termi- _ nates, the Sunday attraction should be -_ a banner one. CARDINALS Bescher If Beck 3b Smith, cf Ernie Johnson played short for the mecond team, yesterday, and his ankle is mending speedily. Withal he’s no Ways near himself. Neither is Ward f Miller, who operated in center field. >» Ward has a bum ankle but he can’t re- sist the temptation of going a great dis- | tance for a fly ball. He saved the game _. for the Yans in the ninth when he went ‘to deep left center and plucked a drive from Clemons’ bat, ruining a well de- signed triple.

President Schuyler Pearson Britton, who started for Cleveland just before being called on for a speech at the busi- ness Men’s League banquet Wednesday, returned today and was busier than the proverbial bird dog. Britton tninks his park will be ready for occupancy :f no more rain falls. Manager Huggins’ decision to keep Roy Corhan on the side lines for an- other week has the approval of the fans. Corhan should be a valuable man for the Cardinals this season as he’s the best defensive man the club nas ac- quired since Arnold Hauser’s day. To take any chances with his arm, whicn has gone lame, would be the quintes- sence of folly, Huggins believes. College Catcher Reports. There still are 25 men on the Car- dinal club exclusive of Manager Huz- gins and Mike Kelly, the coilegiate catcher who reported at Robison I[ield yesterday. Kelly was snared by Bob Connery and although yet unfit for service in the majors, he is a good prospect and will be advaniageously placed in the minors. -_-- —-— A deal vesterday was consummated with Tacoma for Jack Roche, the Calgary Wii4- cat whose arm went back on him, and this just about finishes up Hueg’s business of tin- canning undesirables. At least three more must go, however, but Hugginsc will te in no haste cutting down to the prescribed limit of 21.

It's now up to Robinson and the Frisco club to straighten out their dif- ferences. FEDERAL FLAG TO WAVE OVER CUBS BALL PARK « CHICAGO, March 30.—Although the Cubs were well down in the list at the end of the National League season last year, a base- ball championship flag will flutter over the North Side park this year. President Weeghman of the Cubs owns a flag which was won by the Chicago Federals last year, in a close finish, and today he announced he will raise the banner of the defunct chumpionship team when the Cubs start the 1916 race. The flag has not yet been delivered to President Weeghmann, but funds for its pur- chase will be provided when the former fed. eral magnates hold their next and final meet- ing to wind up the affairs of the third league. Hank San H — The Case of Lowdermilk. I Probability. F Hughey Jennings is depending on Grover Lowdermilk to pull his elub out of the championship fire, he is flying in the face of Old Man Grover’s great weakness is lack of control. When he swings his tremendous arm through the winding-up are Grover’s eye iy not on the plate. It is not until just before the mo- ment of delivery that Grover’s optics focus on the few square inches of Space through which his fast Dall must cleave, if he is to come through, as per instructions from his boss. Experts. in pitching think this is the fault that has kept Grover from being one of the greatest mound men of all time. It is contended that he ouxht to Keep his eye on the objective from the start of his windup to the moment of delivery, in order to gain the coveted “control.” . + . Grover Is Grooved. "RHE ‘natural doesn’t he reform his system” And the only reply is that he can't. Grover is no spring chicken. He has been through the mill several years and is practically hopeless. Old Man Dope asked Branch Rickey about Grover. Branch sold Lowder- milk for $4000 late last season to the Tigers. This is what he thought of the lanky one, vesterday afternoon: “Grover is institutionalized. think he has passed the time when he can be instructed. He is hard-work- ing and conscientious, but he just can't change his old tricks. His pitch- ing habits are nermenently formed. “Tl had this mm mind when I let Lowdermilk go. Wnat usefulness he had was waning, not coming. Fur- thermore, it was more or less a case of a choice between him and Koob. I saw a chance to develop Koob, none for Grover. “For that reason I will be genu- inely surprised if Jennings is able to improve Grover. I think his wild- ness is habitual. He may be useful to a heavy-hitting club like Detroit, but that he will ever overcome his chief fault I find it hard to believe.” HERE is more of a possibility that Bill James will “return.” When right James is good. He was a sick man last season, it appears, and failed to repeat the splendid season he displayed for the Browns in 1914. The Browns received for James something like $11,000. The pick of a minor league club was also in- volved in the turn of events. The Browns needed money, so James was shipped away. If he should regain his health and pitch his best ball for Detroit, Jen- nings would be repaid several times over for his expenditure. The only thing that stood between the Tigers and the pennant last year appears to have been a lack of a first-class vet- eran twirler or two. e . That Willard-Cox Story. CORRESPONDENT, J. H., Old Man Dope: “Diq Willard and Joe Cox ever have a bout in which Willard quit to Cox? Did Jack Curley make a bid for the Willard-Moran bout? Did Curley have any financial interest in the recent contest?” Referee Jimmy Bronson o7 Joplin, Mo., is authority for the statement that Willard quit to Cox after four or five rounds of fighting in a bout “Why query 1s: writes Ce ca om EEE UNION LABEL SLR ap. neg ee that took place in Joplin about four ~~ te wee — - ~ a ee a UNION LABEL WM.

Bronson wrote that Wil- lard had refused to continue, and that the bout was then stopped and decision given to Cox. Willard, when asked about this con- test, stated that he was forced to “quit” or be sent to jail as a vagrant, and that he chose the lesser evil. But, J. H., don’t distort your mind trying to make it absorb any idea that Cox is a hetter man than Jess. The Willard of three or four years ago is not the same Willard that knocked out John- son and toved with Moran. Jack Curley, news items stated, bid $45,000 for the Willard-Moran show. This was followed by Rickard’s larg- er offer, which was accepted. (Curley had no direct interest in the Moran-Willard bout. But he had and still has a one-tenth interest in all that Willard makes. i. Stated, Willard receiveg $55,100 for his “bit” of the recent fight, Curley must have drawn down $0510. Mr. Curley, take it from Old Man Dope, is some smooth promoter. When he starts after a show it hums. He ras been responsible for some indif- ferent performances; but he also fos- tered some good ones. It was Curley who really made the Havana fight possible for Willard, * 7. One Debt Willard Owes. J ESS WILLARD owes one debt that ought to be settled: At least no mention of any reward has ever been printed on the subject. The creditor is William cap, the veteran fistic Philadelphia Ledger. Immediately after the Moran-John- son fight at Paris Rocap, who had seen the contest in Paris, came out strong with the statement that there was one fighter in the world who could beat Johnson and his name was Jess Willard. He repeated this statement many times until promoters took it up and eventually the bout was arranged. was Rocap that paved the way the good fortune of Jess, lifted from obscurity and set him on road to fortune, headed in the rignt direction. . Now Curley and ‘Tom Jones are reaping 10 per cent each out of Wil- lard’s receipts, while two other mem- bers of the original Willard syndi- cate had to be bought off the champion. Rocap’s connection with the af- fair seems to have brought him nothing but neglect. as Ro- the “Bill” expert of by WELSH WILL FARE the‘ HEAVY ARTILLERY IN BUUT TONIGHT Lightweight Champion Encoun- ters Knockout Benny Leonard; Purse $18,500. NEW YORK, March 31.—Freddy Welsh and Benny Leonard will kick up the dust left by Frank Moran and Jess Willard at Madison Square Garden, tonight. The speedy Bronx boy meets the world’s lightweight champion for a purse of $138,500 in a 10-round bout that should have the.crowd on the chairs through- out the struggle. Welsh has always been a stumbling block “to boys with a punch. He said yesterday that he would rather have fought Joe Wolcott than Young Griffo. “There is no chance to miss pleasing with a hard hitter, because the mere fact that the hard hitter is always try- ing to knock your head home to the old folks makes him a_ mark,” insisted Welsh, as he was being rubbed by his trainer, Paul Brackett. ‘The harder he tries, the easier he is to counter and feint. Then, again, the fans sit there with their hearts in their mouths, expecting thac the next moment is your last as a champion. ‘“‘As I said hefore, I like to box the hitters. I’m afraid they've made Benny a little conceited about his ‘Mary Ann.’ They shouldn’t do that. Some fine night he will be trving that punch on some- one and—well, Benny will hit the floor for the first time in his career. “Crossing with your right because your friends in the wvallery like the thrill is like throwing powder in the kitchen stove. Sometimes the old stove gets up and gits.’’ Welsh and has seldom been is close to the lightweight limit ; in better condition for a New York bout. James Jovy Johnaton, manager of Leonard, stated this morning that the gate would run close to $40,000. The purse of $18,500 will be divided ag follows: Welsh, $12,500; Leonard, $6000.

DEL PRATT SEEKS CHANCE TO COACK ~BILLIEN ELEVEN Browns’ Second Baseman, Former Alabama U. Star, Sends in Formal Application. BOARD MEETS’ TONIGHT Question of Having a Baseball Team at St. Louis U. Will Be Discussed. Derrill Pratt, guardian of the keystone cushion on Phil de C. Ball's American League pennant entry, also erst*vhiie fullback on the Alabama University football eleven, is the latest applicant for the job of turning out a winning football combination at St. Loufs Un- versity. Father Hermans was in receipt of Pratt’s application early this week. The local ball tosser made quite a name for himself as a gridder while at the South- ern school and also took a turn at tutor- ing in a small secondary college. Last season he took turns at “elping out at Washington Universite ana Christian Brothers’ College. ‘‘Big’’ Bill Edmunds claims that Derrill is a capable mentor. It would pre thought that the fact that the baseball schedule runs over into the football season would keep Pratt from the position. In his application,, how- ever, he stated that this difficulty could be obviated, as the Browns finish the season at hume this year. Pratt could thus give his attention to the Billikens. It was stated at the university that Pratt’s application would be considered when a coach is selected. This will be a week from today. Baseball Question Comes Up. A meeting of the athletic board of the school will be held tonight, but the main topic of discussion at this conclave will be on the subject of baseball. Inasmuch as track athletics have been frowncd on at the Billiken institution, the Grand avenue students are clamoring for bhase- ball. However, since thé campus has been rented to the Interscholastic League, there is no place for the tossers to practice. Efforts are being made to gain Federal League park for the sea- son and a definite anSwer is expected from Phil Ball at the meeting tonight. James Garneau, an arumnus of the school and a stockholder in the corpora- tion holding the park is Jending his ef- forts to gain the park for the university. Central Plays First Game. The first real scholastic game of the season was played yesterday afternoon when the Central High School nine battled with an alumni team of that school for nine innings to a 5-5 draw. Several twirlers took a turn on the mound for the school team and looked unusuab good for this early date. The 1916 team got a flying start when Capt. Larmore put the ball over ihe cen- terfield vwalH—with twagmen on base in the first inning. It was sily the longest hit made in the park since it has become High School campus. Watson, Gill. Reeder and Graff were among the alumni tossers, When VW. R. Heyn won from Elmer Bauer in the fancy diving event at the Junior A. A.

By Harry S. Sharpe. Referee of the Future City Athletic Club, All arrangements for the boxing show tonight at the Future City Athletic Club were completed when Sam Langford rolled into Union Sta- tion last evening at 9:55, direct from Boston. Langford was accompanied by his manager, Joe Woodman, Sam looked almost square, his shoul- ders and back are so broad. ‘That he is hovering around a mark that is not less than 19% pounds is positive. It its extra weight over a few years ago tha probably will never come off again. Langford appeared to be in best spirits and glad of the opportunity t appear in St. Louis. He promises to make his welecme so warm tonight that patrons will want him back again. The confider.ce Langford’s manager has in the “‘tar baby’’ was indicated in a conversation that W ing with Totmmy Sullivan, Woodman etated that he and wanted to leave on the 10:30 train tenight for Boston. “I hardly think you can do it, Joe,” said Tommy. “You see, we don't start the show until 8:30 and we have three bouts on and a battle royal before the main event.” Looks Bad for Clarke. “That's all right, Tommy,” : replied Woodman; “just get us on at a quarter of 10 and I'll guarantee we make our train.”’ Considering that the boxing of eight rounds will take all of 31 minutes, not to mention dressing, counting receipts, paying off, etc., itNooks as if Woodman expects Langford t3 make short work of the “fighting ghost.” Clarke is not at all dismayed at the prospect, and intimated last evening that the Boston boxer's,. tongue would be hanging out from tHe sizzling pace he expects to set tonight, Clarke is weigh- ing about 170 pounds #nd appears to be in splendid condition.

Browne is one of the three youngsters who have sprung into prominence this year. The cther pair are Leo Handy and Vollmer.

ATHLETES Columbian A. C, Coach Says His Men Are Ready for Dual Engagement Any Time. Fitzgerald of the Co- lumbian A. C. stated this morning that he was willing to send his athletics against those of the Missouri A. A. at any time. He stated, though, that at the present time no negotiations for the staging of a meet of this kind were being carried on. Then it is hardly probable that it will be possible to stage any event before May. The new Tan- gied C track is not expected to be ready before this time. “I have not heard from the M. A. A. concerning a meet of any kind,’’ said Fitzgerald, ‘“‘but I certainly would send my boys against them. Not that think we own all the stars, because we do not. have a few good poys down here, but no real stars.’ All Fitzgerald owns is Irwin Mahl and Gus Aronson, two of the pest sprinters developed in this city for a youd while. With the indoor ec ampaign just about over, Irwin Mall and the other Cc. A. C, athletes will now train for the outdoor season. Just what will be done has not yet been decided. One thing certain, though, there will be several meets for the local cinder path ‘‘phenoms,’ while there is a chance that some out-of-town stars will be brought here, vossibly for the last meet of the C. A. C., the Jatter part of September. The Columbian A. C. is still on the lookout for a weight man. True he has Big Bill Joern, but the latter is not heavy enough to compete against the stars from other cities. “Joern is O K for the meets around here, as he can just about beat any- one here; but we could not send him away to compete agartnst the weight men of other cities. I still have hopes of getting a good man for these events.” For the keep the later, probably son opens, some new signed. liglit Coach Paddy present the e*. A. ¢’; will athletes it now owns. But, when the outdoor sea- material will be there are two inembers of the team Fitzgerala tninks will develop into stars within a short time. They are Gene Murray, a mid- dle distance runner, and Childs, a 90le vaulter. The latter was grabbed rom McKinley High School and is doing well in the practice outs. now Coach Wilbur Hutshell of the M. A. A. igs sending his charges through workouts sev- eral nights a week preparing for the out- door campaign. Just as s00n as the weather allows, the Cherry Diamond will make efforts to get a track for the use of the athletes. Although only a small team was entered in the carnival last Saturday, the men did even better than was expected of them. In al] stars compete in, will be the real ace in the there is Gene Irwin, the forme: sprinter, who made such a good showing in the Coliseum meet. Then there is Sanders, the new man, who Martin De- laney claims is one of the best quarter- milers around these parts.

Nobody in St. Louis who has felt the influence of these two remarkable En- glish women doubts that the indemnity will be a large one. They were here only a couple of days last week ana told their story only to women in littie parlor gatherings, but their visit was so effective that fatherless children of France were made $9000 better off. The plan was to have nersons sul- scribe 10 cents each a day for the sup- port of a fatherless child, but after Miss Schofield and Miss Fell had talked there was no such thing as limiting the women to caring for a child apiece. Some of them adopted whole families of children. Before the two women were fairly out of the city, a suggestion was made that they be brought back and given an opportunity to talk to the men.

DISPATCH Big House, Home and Real Estate Directory. ff Fashion Shop Spending Money to Reduce Selling Prices Advertising increases the keenness of competition so that prices are forced downward. It would not be possible to produce a lead pencil for two cents, a tube of paste for ten cents, a collar for twelve and a half cents, were it not for the force of advertising in cre- ating a wide demand, permit- ting quantity production and labor-saving machinery, thus cutting costs. There are other reasons why you should insistonthe advertised product. The purpose of most advertising is to establish the reputa- tion of a name. In order to live up to that reputation, defi- nite standards of qual- ity must be maintained in the product. It must live up to the claims of the advertise- ment. Faking or misrepre- sentation cannot stand the light of publicity. Advertising is your protec- tion and safeguard. It points out the lines of goods of whose quality you can be sure. Write us for free booklet. This is written for buyers like yourself and every man or woman who buys any kind of commodities will find it prof- itable reading. Lk Washington Avenue at Seventh Street Blouses of Rare Beauty at $2:98 $3:98 and $5-20 F you were going to give a large entertainment, you wouldn't go out personally and deliver a hundred or so invitations verbally, would you? Of course, you would have them engraved and mated to your guests. You would in this way spend money to save money and time, which is also money. Any man who has anything to sell has the problem of get- ting his invitation to buy be- fore the largest pos- sible number of pros- pective buyers. The larger the number he interests, the more units he can make, and the lower his producing cost de- scends. So he takes the quickest method of reach- ing a large number of people— printing, advertising. If anyone tells you he is able to sell you his goods at a lower cost because he had no advertising expense, laugh at him. Advertising reduces sales expense, because a single ad calls on thousands, while a salesman can call on one ortwo. Advertising reaches an individ- ual at less than 1% of the cost of tellyng the story to that per- son in any other way.
