PARI6, April 6—A German submarine was sunk yesterday by a squadron of French and British warships, the Min- istry of Marine announced last night The crew of the submarine Was vap- tured. The War Office announced this after. :00n capture by the French of a large tortion of the position north of Avo- court, known as Bois Carre or “square \vede." This ground was captured in fighting which went on all of yesterday aiternoon and last night in the Verdun regiun west of the Meuse on the Avo- cvourt-Bethincourt line. Voday's communication says: “In the region of Verdun the enemy ufier the relative calm of yesteraay afternoon, gave evidence of very great ectivity during the eyening hours. As the night progressed there took place te the west of the Meuse a bombard- ment of extreme violence in the region between Avocourt and Bethincourt. "his was followed by a series of attacks in which large numbers of men took part against the two principal salients ef this front. All efforts of the enemy egainst the village of Bethincourt were checked by our fire. “During this same time the enemy de- livered a furious attack on the center acainst the village of Haucourt. In apite of repeated checks and of bloodv sacrifices they were successful in get. ting a foothold during the night in this village. We now hold the village under the fire of our dominating positions. “On our side, after a short prepara- tory artillery fire, we delivered a spi- rited attack, our men coming out from the redoubt of Avocourt, their purpose being to connect this redoubt with one ef our works situated on the boundary line of the wood north of Avocourt. _— this operation, which was in a'! espects successful, we occupled a large portion of the territory known as ‘Le Boise Carre’ and took 50 prisoners. “To the east of the River Meuse two ettacks on the part of the enemy di- zected against our position to the north of the Caillette Wood, resulted only in fcrious losses to the Germans.” FIFTH ZEPPELIN RAID ON ENGLAND IN LAST SIX DAYS Forty-Eight Bombs, 24 Explo- sive and 24 Incendiary, Dropped LONDON, April 6.—One child wag killed and eight persons injured in Zep- olin raids last night, it was officially nounced this afternoon.

St. Louis, Pittsburg, Chicago and Cin- cinnati have under way a relative smoke test to determine which city is the least smoky. In order to ascertain ...e amount of soot fall for the year ending April L 1917, the same test is being applieu to each city. In St. Louis the test is being conduct- ‘’ by Washington University students under the direction of Prof. BE. L. Oble. chairman of the Smoke Abatement Com- inittee of the Civic League. Thirty-six glass jars, four inches in diameter and 10 inches deep, have been piaced in various sections of the city, on the reofs of low buildings, where they will not be disturbed by air cur- rents. Once a month for a year the jars will be collected and the conten weighed and analyzed, and compari- sons with the other cities made. PASSENGERS IN ONE COACH SEE THOSE IN ANOTHER HELD UP Two Masked Men Get About $115 and Four Watches on Rock Island Train in Oklahoma. MUSKOGEE, Ouxz.. April 6.—Two masked men held up and robbed thé passengers in the smoking car of Chi- cago, Rock Island & Pacific passenger train No. 41, as the train was leav- ing Howe, Ok., last night. After ob- taining about $115 and four watches, they compelled the conductor to stop the train and escaped. Posses were formed at Howe and Red Oak to pursue the robbers. According to trainmen, the two men boarded the smoking car at Howe and remained on the platform until the train was under way. Then they entered the car and commenced shooting Into the roof. Having intimidated the passen- gers, one of the men collected their money and valuables while the other kept them covered with revolvers. Passengers in the coach just behind the smoker witnessed the robbery, but made-no effort to interfere. MILITARY CAMP FOR WOMEN Two Hundred and Fifty Will Take Training Course in California.

WASHINGTON, April 6.—Gen. Fun- ston today asked the War Depart- ment to send the recruits listed under the recent authorization of 20,000 ad- ditional men to Brownsville, Tex., for distribution among the torder patrol regiments. The recruits are being assembled and drilled at recrulting stations at Jefferson Barracks, Mo.: Columbus Barrackws, Ohio.; Fort Logan, Col., and Fort Alcatraz, Cal. They will not be sent across the border, but will fill up regiments of the border guard. At Gen. .Funston’s request a bat- tery of the Fourth Field Artillery, which had been ordered from Browns- ville to the Panama Canal zone will remain on the border. ONE AUTO FOR EACH 80 PERSONS 1,250,000 Cars Expected to Be Sold This Year. NEW YORK, April 6.—Shipments of automobiles during March totaled 28,600 carloads, a gain of 11,400 over March of last year and 6000 carloads more than the best previous monthly record in the history of the industry, according to a statement made at the meeting here of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. January and February, it was said, also made new records. At the present rate of increase it is estimated that the total sale of cars in 1816 will reach 1,250,000, which would be a distribution of something like one car tw every 80 persons in the United States.

Troops When Geronimo Was Run Down in Mexico. ——— COLUMBUS, N. M., April 6.—Clad in Lhaki uniforms of American cavalry- men, 20 Apache Indians are preparing today to start for the headquarters of jen. Pershing, to act as scouts in the hunt for Villa. Thirty years ago, 14 of the Indians fought agaihst the American troops of which Gen. Pershing was then a Sec- ond Lieutenant@in the Geronimo cam- paign, in the same district where Villa is thought to be hiding. Capt. O. P. M. Hazzard brought the scouts from Fort Apache, Ariz, “We are going to bring back. Villa,”’ said M. Jese Valesquez, interpreter for the party. “Our men were pledged to a> so in a great war dance—the first for years—and they cannot go back on their word. These men are man hunt- ers, men who can follow a trail .f broken twigs and disturbed dust os readily as you can read a printed pace.” Valesquez said that the warriors, some cf whom are more than 70 years old, donned war paint and danced through- cut the night before they left, as they dia yéars ago, and then, without sleer, ‘ode horseback 60 miles to the nearest railroad station. Among the Indians are five regular army scouts and al’ the rest hare served with the army in various cam- paigns, though not regularly. The unofficial commandant of the In- dians is the!r Chief, Yet-Su-Ay, an ex- pert trailor. One of the party is ‘‘Sher- ley,”’ or as tne Government lists him, XxX. G.-XL. He was one of two Apache scouts whe actually trailed Geronimo to his capture. The other, called “Peacaes,” missed joining the party. “Peaches’’ walked 79 miles to ioin the scouts, Capt. Hazzard said, becaure he was too pcor to buy a horse: but reached Fort Apache three huurs too late. lhe ‘Sergeant of the party is ‘‘Loce Jim,” who bears the honor of having been wounded more times than any other man whe engaged in Southwest- ern Indian warfare, his Lody being de- scribed as covered with knife and bu!- let scars.

Pr WASHINGTON, April 6.—Attention ot” administration officials is focused to-+ — a day on the diplomatic aspects of the American expedition into Mexico. In some quarters there was a strong ri J inclination to connect the de facto Gov- zs a ernment’s apparent delay in permitting © the yse of the railroad for the shipment — of supplies to the United States forela - with a desire of Gen. Carranza to have the American soldiers leave Mexican soil. It is understood that Ca officials on the border have made ite” quiries as to how much longer the eX=« pedition will remain in Mexico and how” far south it will penetrate. iS Legally the American forces are now = pursuing what is termed ‘a hot trail. : No great surprise ° would be occasioned — here if Carranza should suggest nm that the trail had become cold should question the propriety of A can troops proceeding much farther. Conflicting reports regarding the use of the railroads have been received — tere. While the: Wat Department - without reports indicating that Cate ranza authorities at Juarez have ordera to accept shipments, at the State Dee partment it was understood that such orders had been given. é Major-General Funston has forwarded a message from Brigadier-General Per shing, stating that the latter conferred Monday at Providencia with Col. #3 Providencia is about ® miles north 6! Guerrero and only 20 miles beyond the southernmost end of motor communi» eation lines at Namiquipa, Dispatches reporting continuing nego- tiations with Gen. Carranza for use of the railways were received today from special agent John L. Rodgers at Quere- taro. He indicated that the question still was unsettled, but officials regarded the situation as favorable. The exact ques- tions under negotiation were not dis« closed. ‘ Secretary Lansing declined to say what progress had been made with Gen. Carranza. The last official announce- ment was of submission by Carranza of several modifications. These apparentiy are still before the State Department. —— -@-—— — DOUBT GROWING ON BORDER AS TO SUCCESS:OF CHASE Fear That Expedition May Have to Return by Carranza’s Order Without Bandit. By CLAIR KENAMORE. A Special Correspondent of the Posts Dispatch. EL PASO, Tex., April 6.—The hopeieadll ness of the expedition which is groping through the Chihuahua sand, dust snowstorms for Pancho Villa, is a Hected in the conversations of Americas army officers here today. Govern officials, Mextcan intriguers, politicians, students and ranchers agree that the chance of taking the bandit, never ba= ter than one to ten, is growing datly more remote. The best information today places Villa in the vicinity of Saucililo, riding southward at the head of 10 men. He has not been wounded, acording to these advices, and he is hopeful of effecting a junction with Gen. Canuto Reves, one of his bravest and most dashing leaders, Mexican Stories Different. This information comes from private” Ainerican sources. ecnfidential advices are quite different, From Mexican sources one is advised that Villa, badly wounded, is hiding within % miles of Guerrero: that hie band is scattered and that his capture while possibly not imminent. is onty ee question of time. Mexican officials would like to cone vince the Americans that the raider hag a ag not gone south, for they do not want x the American column to go Mexican official and. |

THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 6, 1916. * ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH _ a | ' Can it come out of Mexico without vu. la‘'s head? : Americans Not Popular. If so, when the discredited column ‘drags northw it will conVoy all those Americana still below the border. If this expedition is a failure, Americans in Mexico declare, Mexico will be unten- able for Americans. They are now un- popular to the breaking point. After- ward it would be unbearable. The soldiers who are endeavoring to do the bidding of the Government are believed to have reached Santa Yeabel today. As the aeroplane flies this is 200 miles from Columbus. As the road runs tis probably 400 miles. The attenuated line between these daring riders at the far front and the toiling men at the hage is stretched about as much as it will stand. If it must reach much farther more men will be needed, officers say, hyvt where are they to come from? Of- ficers do not know. The border posts end camps have given all they can. Sta- tions to the north have contributed, buf if the operations are to widen they will have to contribute more, for the border is pretty well cleaned. Proper military precaution demands that strategic points along the border keep forces ready for eventualities and every frontier town from Prownsville to Yuma is sure that it has not enough men to give it sufficient protection. The pursuit of Villa has reached 4&4 roint where a change in its nature ia indicated, according to army officials here and to students of Mexican poli- tics. The prospect of” the chase for one bandit becoming a campaign is constant- ly before the eyes of the military. The tnany difficulties confronting Gen. Per- ching and the best ways of meeting then: are never absent from the thoughts and councils of the men at the base here. The advance columns of the expedi- tion are now 30 miles from the Ameri- ean border, as the roads run. The force in Mexico is usually estimated at $000 men, and there are probably more than (000 horses and mules with the expedi- tion. A fleet of motor trucks, now approach- ing, more than endeavors to supply these men and animals with food. The task presents almost insurmountable difficulties. Railroad of Little Help. it will be recalled that Gen. Pershing sought permission to use the Mexico Northwest Railroad and that a pro- vision permission was granted by Car- ranza after some delay. The railroad had been used to some extent for the transportation of troops and a dozen soldiers were injured in a wreck. ‘The permission to transport supplies has been or no benefit to date and the ad- vance columns now are far beyond the reach of the rails. The territory to the south and to the cast of Chihuahua City, into which Villa appears to have fled, is fed by the Na- tional Railroad of Mexico, whose lines go south from Juarez. This road has been for five years the principal military tool ct whoever held Chihuahua, usually Vil- la. Its towns.are well garrisoned. The people living along the line are for the most part Villista in sentiment. For Carranza to permit’ the American invaders to use this line for the transpor on of men or mu nitions of war’. would be doubtful policy. He might alienate the Chi- huahua people whom. he is endeavor- ing to placate, and severely test the loyalty of the Mexican ‘troops sta- tioned along the road. Use of National Line Needed. But it. difficult to see how the American FORces can subsist without the use of b Mexican National, The Northwestern, if it were turned over to the army, could be used only as far as the headquarters near Casas Grandes. For two years no trains have passed through the Cumbre Tunnel, which was'dynamited. It is said its rehabilitation would cost $2,000,000 and take tine in propor- tion. , For the bicrabtnnss about Guerrero, Minaca and Cusihutriachic, if supplies could be taken out of Chihuahua City, the Mexican National road would be needed to connect with Juarez and Hi Paso. The army cannot operate with- out supplies for horses, men and guns, and the question of how these sup- plies are to be taken to the advance columns is very delicate and is be- coming pressing. , Accepting 8000 as a fair estimate of -the number of men now in the expe- dition, it would seem that that should be a sufficient number for the work in hand, which is that of following with all speed the cooling trail of Villa the extermination of his ban- dits and the capture of the leader. But if Villa has passed through Satevo, as there is every indication, and if he has reduced his immediats following to eight men, the task of tae expedition takes another aspect. 23 robbers of whom only three escaped most advanced cavairy detachments en- gaged in running down Villa were be- Parral. reports as to Villa’s whereabouts have been received here, but Gen. Funston and his staff officers place most cred- ence in the report that he was in the vicinity. of Satevo Tuesday and travel- ing south or southeast. send a courier to Chihuahua with re- ports for transmission by the regular telegraph lines, but the local authorities in Mexico have persisted in their refusal to aecept the coded messages from of- ficers of the expedition.

However, the American troops could make far better speed by the rall- way than they could hope to make any other way, in the opinion of staff officials here. Before the wrecking of the road the running time to Chi- huahua City was 8 hours and 35 min-! utes; thence to Jiminez 5 hours and 25 minutes, and from Jiminez to Torreon 5 hours and 30 minutes, a total of 19 hours and 30 minutes for the 616 miles between Jaurez and Torreon. Even under the present conditions trains have made the run from Chi- huahua City to Juarez in 16 hours, and it is believed that with American crews and engines this time could be materially reduced. Guiterrez Hopes for Villa’s Capture Within Next Three Days. TORREON, Mex., April 6.—Gen. Luis Guiterrez veported to Gen. Trevino last night that he was very hopeful that Gen. Cavazos would capture Vilia and the remnants of his men during the next three days. Gen.

COLUMBUS, N. M., April ».—Salt is the commodity most in demand by American troops at the front, especially the troops of the Seventh Cavalry, ac- cording to the crew of the first trucx train arriving in Columbus from the furthest extremity of the American !ine. The small supply the cavalrymen car- ried with them when they crossed the border three weeks ago, was exhausted in two days and they have had none since. Tobacco also is priceless, one of the truckmen asserting that a trooper of- fered $1.50 for one-half of his 5-cent baz of tobacco. “I told him if it was worth trat much to him it was worth that much to me, and I kept it,’’ the truck- man said. Several commented upon the optimism with which Mexican inhabitants of that portion of Chihuahua, through which American troops are passing, have started tilling the soil for the first crops to be planted since the five years of revolutions got well under way, late in 1910. The change in attitude of the peons who have come into contact with the silver-spending Americans, is remark- able, members of the crew said. The first timidity and fear has given way, with lack of molestation and plunder- ing by ‘1e Khaki ‘‘soldadoes’’ to an in- creasing friendliness. The trucks which ru. >led into camp throughout th.» night have been at the furthest end of the 300-mile line cf communications, carrying food for men and horses and suppiying the mule packs which are winding out from sub- bases over ihe intricate mountain cou )- try for fighting detachments in the first column pu-suing Villa.

There were 1069 boys enrolled in the clubs, of whom 466 reported. The total »roduc- tion by these 466 boys was 22,125.15 bush- éts. Average yield per acre was 49.6 buhsels. The boys’ pig clubs also made a good showing for the year, as appears fron: the Bishop report. In this work there were 245 boys, of whom 88 reported. They xrew and fattened 89 hogs, the original value of which was $322.11, and at The end of the season the value had been in- creased to $1242.70, a gain of $920.59. WOMAN ASKS FOR $!

About half this number of appli- cations for information already have been received and no doubt is enter- tained that considerably more than the minimum will be enrolled. , The original plan was to have the camp in operation from May 1 to 2 inclusive, but the dates prescribed by Washington are June 6 to 80 inclusive.

M., April 6.— CAMP, April 3, by aeroplane and motor 80-mile ride last night, said: “T never saw a country where men could ride as hard without sleep and still keep well as in these mountains.” This officer ha dridden with 250 picked men of the cavalry. "It seems to be the air at the alti- tude of 7500 to 10,000 feet that keeps the men up,” he added. The troopers as a part of their two- day trip, made 55 miles up and down the tops of a ridge of mountains in 36 hours, part of the time through heavy snow, at an altitude of 10,000. fe>t.

After iaking their mounts safels through this ride the cavalrymen maue 25 miles across country to Lead off the possipility of a Villista rally at a place j which had been under suspicion for , several days. In the mountain work the j cavalvymen led their horses over worst places. The horses have shown that they can climb almost any moun- tain that a man can ascend. Pride in their horses has become a passion with cavalrymen in their moun- tain riding. “Our horses,’’ one officer asserted, “are just as good today as when they crossed the border. They are fit for a charge right now.”’ An officer here tells how he retreat- ed from a house where he thought at first he had found a Villa bandit. It was during the search of a mountain district where it was believed Villa might be concealed. This officer saw what he took to be a wounded man ly- ing in bed in a room. He swung open the door, pistol in hand, and started to turn down the blanket covering the Mexican, but after one look he fled. The man had smallpox. Goatless Cowboy in Party.

COLUMBUS, N. M., April oh ten weeks of man-hunting through the desert and mountains of Chihuahua has totally changed the physical appearance of the smart cavalrymen who crossed the border under Col. George A. Dodd, near Culbertson’s ranch. A _ vivid pic- ture of the soldiers as they were four days ago was brought to Columbus with the arrival from the front of a truck train which carried supplies to Col, Dodd’s command. The returning truck men got few de- tails of the Guerrero battle. but said they had been told that all of the four wounded American troopers were in the saddle again on the second day after the engagement. The troopers said tha Villista marksmanship was bad, prac tically all of their shots going higa. There was much comment on the al- leged fact that the American soldier most seriously wounded, who was shor six times through fleshy parts of his bcdy, was on a small promontory in the rear of the rest of the command. Despite the orders to “spare nothing but horse flesh,’’ the march uito Mexico has been exceedingly hard on some of the animals attached to Ccl. Dodd's command, according to the arrivals. Dead American cavalry borses were said to be strewn along the trails ia the district south of Namiquina. In faet, was declared, the command has lost so many horses that fully one-half of it has been obliged to continue the search for Villa without mounts. Men whose shoes have been lacerated by the stones of the mountains and sands of the deserts are wearing Mexi- can sandals, and sandals made from the hides of beeves slaughtered for their meals. Men, whose clothing has veen torn into shreds by mesquite and cactus are wearing such clothing as could oe obtained from Mexicans living along the route, according to the stories told. Substantiating these stories, a mes- sage ‘came to military headquarters from Brigadier-General Pershing re- questing that the extra kits containing extra clothing of the soldiers of the Seventh and Tenth cavalry regiments, the two regiments at the extreme front, be rushed to them at once. A truck train under the command of Capt. C. B. Drake, consisting of Zi trucks, went to within seven miles of Guerrero, its crew being the first Amer- icans to meet the troopers of the Sev- ae if enth Cavalry after their engagement at that town. Men Nondescript Looking. “The men were a nondescript looking crowd,” said Capt. Drake. “Their faces were caked with dry alkali dust, they ‘ had been without regular rations for some days, coffee, salt and tobacco were beyond price, and yet, through their haggard dirtiness the men smiled with their eyes and told of their resolute pu*- pose to get villa.” Capt. Drake also told of reports cur- rent throughout the Guerrero coun'rv that the American troops obtained their information that Villa had been wounded from an American physiciat taken captive by the bandit band and forced to treat the leader’s wounds. He said that he did not learn the name of the physician, who was said :o have been a resident of one of the towns through which Villa passed, and was re- ported to have described the wounds *8 being caused by a bullet through the ankle and another in the hip. | The soldiers, traveling as they have, with every ounce of surplus eauipment eliminated, have extemporized numerous articles. Two bolts of calico, obtained from the pack of one of the mules in a Villa pack train captured at Guerrerr, has beén used by the soldiers, the truck men say, to fashion almost every- thing from hats to saddlebags. Strange Mixture of Clothing. “When 1 first saw some of these fellows of the Seventh coming to- ward me I thought we were in the center o1 4 stexican camp,” said one man. “They wore the same mixed col- lection of clothing that is noticeable in a Mexican army camp, where each man chooses his own uniform. Some of the men wore the broad-rimmed Mexican hats, their own having been lost; others were clad in the loose jacket of the Mexican latorer. Only a few were in the same uniforms in which they left the United States.” The morale of the troops was de- scribed as being excellent. The arrivals said Gen. Pershing. Col. Dodd and the other commanders of the American advance were taking every precaution against possible up- risings of irresponsible Villa sympa- thizers, realizing that Chihuahua is the State in which Villa first was powerful, and where the nucleus of his army was recruited. ? at Bucharest, who is accused of atir- | ring up trouble in Dobrudja.

Village of Haucourt Stormed by the Germans, BERLIN, via London, April 6,—Ger- rran troops have stormed the village c* Haucourt on the Avocourt-Bethincourt front northwest of Verdun, the War Office announced today. The official statement says: ‘Western front: There was great activity west of the Meuse during the day, chiefly on account of the preparatory fire which we directed against the district of Haucourt. During the afternoon the activity of our infantry became more pro- rounced. ‘We stormed the village of Hau- eourt and the strongly fortified French point of support east of the village. “In addition to very ofpsiderable losses in killed and wounded, the enemy lost i1 officers and 531 un- wounded prisoners, belonging to two different divisions. On the right bank of the Meuse the French renewed the attack against positions we cap- tured in Caillette Forest and north- west thereof on April 2. This attack was checked quickly.” Allies Complain te Greece Over “Ar- bitrary Arrests.” PARIS, April 6—The entente Powers have complained to the Greek Govern- ment of arbitrary arrests declared to uave been made by the Greek police.

(Calculating from the dis- tance at which the torpedo had first been seen, and the time which passed before the explosion the speed of the torpedo must have been 36 knots, th? normal speed of a torpedo). The ship was cut in two opposite the bridge: the after part, thanks to the solidity of the bulkheads, continued to float. “On deck, several passengers who happened to be on the port side saw the torpedo when quite close to the ship; one of them even telling his neighbor to ‘look at that great fish swimming towards the ship.’ Everybody who hap- pened to be in the bows disappeared with that portion of the ship, whitch was engulfed, among others the passen- gers on the fore deck and in the first- Class saloon.

PUSH FORWARD 10 RELIEF OF KUT ‘Town of Felahie Is Taken and Entrenched Position Nearby Stormed. LONDON, April 6.—The British forces in Mesopotamia evidently have been heavily reinforced and are making progress toward the relief of Gen. Townshend's army which has béen be- sieged in Kut El Amara since the first week in December. Announcement was made today that Gen. Aylmer’s forces had captured tho town of Felahie, below Kut, consoli- dated all their gains and repelled coun- ter attacks by the Turks. Felahie has been the scene of several engagements between the British and Turks. Announcement was made lest night that Gen. Lake, Commander in Chief tn Mesopotamia, had that the Tigris corps had attacked and carried at 5 a. m. yesterday the Turkish in- trenched position at Umm-El-Henna, 2 miles below Kut. Umm-El-lenna is a strong position at an important ben’ of the river, and is said to be the last serious barrier to the relief of Gen. Townshend, although two or three less strong positions are still to be overcome before Kut-E)- Amara is reached. Next to the Dardanelles expedition, the operations in Mesopotamia have been a subject on which the Govern- ment has been more criticised than any other, not only on account of the brenak- down in .he hospital arrangements, but on the question of responsibility for the advance, with insufficient forces, toward Baxdad. As in the case of the Dardanolies, the critics accused tine Ministers at home of insisting on the expedition againat the advice of the military authorities in India and on the repot. This accusa- tion, however, met with an unqualified contraJiction by Austen Chamberiatin, Secretary for India, in the House of Commons Tuesday. Mr Chamberiain declared that the advance on Bagdad was undertaken on the advice of the commander in chief in Mesopotamia. 20.APACHE INDIANS ON WAY TO JOIN VILLA EXPEDITION Some Were With Gen.

WILL BE A_ DELEGATE Compromise Provides That Had- ley Shall Be Indorsed for President. | | By GEORGE W. EADS, ’¥ Staff Correspondent of the Post- | ™ Dispatch. EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo., ‘April 6.—Thomas K. Niedringhaus of St. Louis withdrew as a candidate for Republican National Committeeman just before the Republican State Con- vention met here today. Jacob L. Babler of St. Louis, Republican State chairman, will be elected National Committeeman without opposition. As a compromise, Niedringhaus will be elected one of the four delegates-at- large to the Republican National Convention. The other three delegates-at-large will be John Schmoll of St. Louis, fore mer Governor Hadley and E. E. E. McJimsey of Springfield. The terms of the compromise include a resolu- tion to be adopted by the convention fndorsing {tcrmer Gov. Hadley for President and not insiructing the dele- gation for him. Pojitte Eivins of Klvins Was agreed upon as permanent chalir- man of the convention. _Niedringhaus found this morning, ter a series of caucuses, that 3 would be decisively beaten for re- election as national committeeman by Babler if the fight went to the floor of the convention. Niedringhaus agreed to withdraw, . ut gmeked that he be sent as delegate at ‘ Jarge in Babler’s place. A conference was called in Hadley’s room at the New Elms Hotel, and the ©ompromise was agreed upon in all e- ‘tails to prevent any fight whatever in the convention. . Mayor Kiel, Charles_ R. Graves and John Schmoll of St. ‘Louis, who had waged an active fight against Niedring- haus, participated in the caucus and consented to the terms of the compro- mise, Hadley acting as chairman of the greeting. Babler Agrees to Plan. Babler and McJimsey also were called {nto the conference and were satisfied to give Niedringhaus a place on the “big four” in consideration of his with- drawal from the contest for National Committeeman. Babler has withdrawn as candidate for delegate at large, and will resign gs State chairman. The Babler-Nied- ringhaus fight has furnished the only exciting feature of the State convention Niedringhaus was elected National Com. mitteeman four years by the Hadley crowd, which was then supporting Koosevelt for President. He defeated Otto Stifel, who had the backing of the Taft forces. Stifel was one of the most ective supporters of Niedringhau: Aine present fight. * The Kiel forces virtually forced Bab- ley into the fight to defeat Niedring- haus, because, they charged, Niedring- haus refused to give any practical sup- port to the Republican candidate fer Congress in the Eleventh District two “years ago. Question Over Legality. There is some question as to whether State convention has the legal right to elect a National Committeeman. Un- der the rules of the National Commit- tee, the delegates to the Republican National convention have the right to elect the National Committeeman un- less there is otherwise a provision of the State law. There is no Missouri Jaw requiring the @lection of a National Committeeman by the State convention but the call of the Republican State Committee authorized the election of F yatified by the Missouri delegates at - €hicago in order to insure its legality.

OSCAR CONDON SUED FOR $100 BY BIRL DANCER AS HER AG‘Ni Miss * see Biebinger Says That She Did Not Fulfill Contract. Miss Irma Biebinger of 3458 Connecti- cut street, a professional dancer, has filed suit in Justice Schuler’s court to recover $100 from Oscar Condon of 5251A Waterman avenue. She alleges that two years ago Condon entered into a written agreement to be her agent, and to exploit and advertise her and obtain hotel and ball room danc- ing engagements for her throughout the country. She states that she gave him $100 for expense money, and that he not only failed to obtain any engagements for her, but also has refused to make an, accounting. Condon stated that he expended $135 on a trip to New York to find a dancing partner for Miss Biebinger, and that when he got her two engagements he was informed that she was then in New York. Condon said his booking agency had quit business. He is now the music manager for a piano company.

OTHERS OPPOSE PROVISION Action on Amendment to Elim- inate It, Which Was Deferred, Will Be Taken Soon. WASHINGTON, April 6.-—The fight over the Federal Volunteer plan of ‘he army reorganization bill was drawing to a close when the Senate resumed work on the measure today, with ad- vocates of the provision trying hard to save it and opponents seeking to elim- iniate it. An amendment by Senator Lee of Maryland to strike out the provision was the immediate business before the Senate. Action on the proposal ha'l again been deferred in order to permit one or two Senators to speak. Advo- cates of the provision predicted that it had been saved. Another flood of telegrams protesting against elimination of the provision was submitted by Chairman Chamber- lain of the Millitary Committee. Many were from officers of the National Guard, who declared their views had not been correctly presented by Sen- étors who have been fighting the voi- unteer provision on the ground ‘t threatens the existence of the National Guard. 360 of the Telegrams Received. One from Maryland declared that Sen- ator Lee’s amendment did not properly represent the sentiment of all the Mary- land guardsmen on the issue. In all 360 telegrams were presented indorsing the volunteer army plan. Senator O’Gorman of New York read a telegram from R. S. Stern- berger, a Colonel in the New York Na- tional Guard, which he declared was in the nature of a command that the volunteer army project be eliminated from the bill. “I do not know Col. Sternberger,” said Senator O'Gorman, “and appar- ently he does not know me, or he would know my resentment at any attempt at coercion. I am sure the subordinate officer who wrote the of- fensive letter is not expressing the views of Major-General O’Ryan, com- mander of the national guard in my State.” Explaining his reasons for believ- ing the time had come for extensive military and naval preparation, Sen- ator Townsend, Republican, declared the foreign relations of the United States were critical. Great Britain, Germany, Russia and Japan all had differences with the United States, which, he said, was hated by Mexico. “Although Congress has not been permitted to know the exact status of our foreign affairs,” he said, “the President has issued a call for help. He is head of the army and navy, and as such has called upop Congress to give him an adequate force to meet the situation. Congress wil] do it.” Lobby Inquiry Asked For. Charges. of the existence of a lobby here to defeat preparedness legislation may be investigated by the Senate. Such an investigation is proposed in a resol. tion by Senator Sherman of Illinois, to clear the way for more rapid and ef- fective consideration of the pending leg- islation. Senator Chamberlain will support the resolution if it comes up in the regular way, although he will not permit it to interfere with consideration of the army bill. The alleged activities of the national! guard organizations in connection with the bill came in for sharp denunciation at the hands of Senators Chamberlain, McCumber and Nelson during the debate late yesterday. All announced the re- ceipt of numerous telegrams from guard cfficials urging defeat of the volunteer provision. Senator Nelson declared that in all his experiences he had “‘never seen such lobbying as outside influences have brought to bear to defeat certain sec- tions of this bill,” FORD I$ WINNER BY 3500 Michigan Casts Light Vote in Pref- erential Primary.

Co.) PARIS, Aprii 6.—Fer a month and a half, while Gen. Petain has been fight- ing against the Crown Pr@ice at Vet- dun, the French general staff has been engaged with equa! success in a hith- erto unparalleled concentration and transportation contest against the Ger- man general staff. The French counter-concentrations ev- erywhere have foiled the German at- tempts to concentrate at other pvints on the Niecuport-Belfort front. A high military authority described it as “an unprecedented orgy of transport.” He added: "The French high command had ‘*o meet not cnly Gen. Valkenhayen’s real attempts to concentrate suddenly in advance, but also his feints and attempts , to fool us, in which, thanks to the calm coolness of the French high command, he has been folled and utterly defeated. “The very fact that superior numbers and a degree of surprise gave the Ger- mans a temporary and short-lived suc- cess before Verdun during the last week in February marks the defeat of the Everyone Should Share in These Anniversary Offers Anniversary Sale of Women’s Glove Sale Voile Waists Women’s two-clasp Chamoisette Women’s corded-stripe Voile | Gloves—sizes 514 to 7, and the Waist—-a semi-tailored model—has | much-wanted white.

These are the regular $1.50 a more important endeavor. ‘The situa- tion was saved for the French, not only by bringing the German advance on Verdun to 2 halt. but mainly because the French hizh command, never losing its head, refused to enguge more than the loca] reserves at Verdun, and kept in hand all the general reserves. Part of Larger Fight, “From the start Gens. Joffre and De Castelnau appreciated that the Verdun battle was only part of a larger fight It was plainly evident from innumer- able indications that additional to the local task allotted to the Crown Prince, Gen. Falkenhaven’s plan was to induce the French to throw in too much at Verdun, thus enabling him to strike with greater chances of success elsewhere —probably against the British or the Belgians. “The enormous German Verdun losses quite out of all proportion to the results achieved—are proof positive that the German endeavor was larger and more important. It is impossible that the wholesale slaughter of the best German troops before Verdun could have been Gen. von Falkenhayen’s real object. “He planned and prepared a larger operation, but reckoned without the French high command, which, undis- mayed by the formidable pressure brought to bear on Verdun, continued watching the remainder of the immense chess board. Gens. Joffre and De Cas- telnau put Gen. Petain in charge at Verdun against the Crown Prince, while they themselves, with undiminished at- tention, direct the far mcre important transport and concentration game against Gen. von Falkenhayn. “The game was much bigger and more important than appeared to the public, which was absorbed in Verdun. It has been a German defeat, not only before Verdun but also of their more ambitious designs. It was the greatest contest of generalship that ever took place—a con- test of brains, experience, nerve and will! power, in which the famous and much- advertised head of the German general staff has been utterly defeated. German Plans Forestaliled. “Gen. von Falkenhayn’'s most cunning feints were seen through and his moves forestalled so easily and calmly that Gen. Joffre and Gen. de Catelnau mean- while found time to attend the allies’ conference.” I understand there are actually in the trenches fewer troops on both sides than ever since the trench war started, but greater reserves and masses for manu- vering behind the trenches. A staff of- ficer explained to me: “It is no longer trench warfare as we have known it since 1914, and it is not yet open-field warfare, as in the first days of the war— it is a kind@ef intermediate stage. which may revert to either of the two forms we have experienced. Whether the Ge~- , mans continue the procss of. massing in deep column formation, or whether they spread out again in the trenches, we ara equally ready for them. “Had the Germans succeeded at Ver- dun they undoubtedly would have con- centrated likewise at one or two other points of the front and open field war- fare would have been resumed, but be- cause of their costly Verdun failure the Germans will resume only their trenches. after which will come the allies grea: Up to $7.95 Women’s Separate Dress Skirts for Spring, in both light and dark fancy mixtures, plain shades of serge and poplin, checks and plaids; also black and ‘colored taf- feta.

DAUES APPEARS -FOR CITY Denies Right of United Railways to Bring Issue to Wash- ington. WASHINGTON, April 6.—Arguments before the United States Supreme Court in the case of the United Railwavs Co. against the city of St. Louis, involv- ing the mill tax ordinance were closed here yesterday. The case involves the right of the city to collect a license tax of 1 mill on each 5-cent fare collected by the street railway company. This is the second time the suit has been before the Supreme ‘Court. On the issue of the validity of the ordinance th case was decided in the city’s favor. The United Railways Go. again took the case to the Supreme Court on the new issues that the collecting of the mill tax would mean double taxation of the com- pany and that the mill tax ordinance could not be made to apply to the St. Louis Transit Co., the original owner 0” the franchises now held by the United Railways Co. , Judge Henry S. Priest made the argu. ment for the company. The city’s case was presented by Charles H. Daues, City Counselor, and his assistant, Tru- man ‘Post Young. Judge Priest made these points in his argument: 1. There was the Missouri Constitution, utes or the city charter ‘the passage of the mill nance. ’. It constituted a double tax property. 3. If tt were defined purely as a tax for regulation it was exorbitant, con- fiscatory and unreasonable. Right of Jurisdiction. Daues and Young denied the United Railways Co.'s right to bring the case before the Supreme Court a second time and held that all the material points at issue had already been ruled upon by the court. Young argued that the validity ofa car tax ordinance had never been ques- tioned, and he pointed out that for years Lefore the passage of the mill tax ordl- rance the street car companies in St. Touis had been required to pay a vearly license tax of $25 a car. Several times while the arguments were under way Justices asked ques- tions of the attorneys. Chief Justice White showed particular interest in Judge Priest’s asertion that the United Railways Co.’s property was being doubly taxed. Priest said that in one year the. mill tax amounted to $140,000 and the State tax on the company’s franchise amounted to $240,000. This dou- ble tax, he said, amounted to 7% per cent on the assessed value of the prop- erty. Justice Hughes announced that he had been so impressed by this rtatement that he made a note of it. In reply to Justice Hughes. and in answer to Priest, Asistant City Counselor Young called the Court’s attention to the differenca between 7% per cent on the droverty and @e per cent on the company’s grass re- ceipts. As a matter of fact, ne said. the taxes levied against the company amounted to only 2 per cent of the “assessed valuation of its property. no authority under the stat- to justify tax ordi- Ti Priest's Contention Denied. Young deniea Priest's contention that the application of the mill tax ts the United Railways Co. was a discrimina- tion. He pointed out that when the ordinance was passed the Suburban lines were not a part of the United Railways Co. and the mill tax also applied to them. He called the Court's attention to the fact that the United Railways Co. is a monopoly, controlling ail the street railway lines in St. Louis. Priest did not deny that the company had submitted to a license tax of $25 a car from 1870 to 1903, but he contended that this arrangement was in the na- ture of a contract, and that the con- tract was broken when the mill tax was substituted for the car tax. Eight cases were involved in the argu- ments. As to each of these the city contended that all the issues already had been passed upon by the Supreme Court. The comments made from time ft) time by the Justices were closely noted by attorneys, who tried to judge from them what the probable decision of the Court would be. After the hearing both Daues and Priest said they had gained no inkling as to the Court’s de- cision, as the points which had aroused the interest of the Justices were made by both sides and the Judges’ com- ments seemed absolutely impartial. emark by Justice Pitney. One interruption by Justice Pitney was regarded as interesting. Young was arguing that the case should be dis- missed by the Court on the ground that it had already been adjudicated, He held that the United Railways Co. was wrong in claiming that it had been shut out because the city first pleaded the Supreme Court’s former decision in sup- port of its contention that the issues already had been passed upon. ‘It Is very well to use that in your argument, but I would not rely too much on it,’’ said Justice Pitney.

Colonel Virtually Declares His Candidacy in Interview With Politicians at Oyster Bay. OUTLINES HIS_ POLICIES “Citizens Must Be for America First and for No Other Coun- try Even Second.” Post-Dispatch. OMYSTER BAY, N. Y., April 6.—Col. Roosevelt in an interview at Sagamore Hill virtually declared his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomina- tion. The words he employed are far more emphatic than those of his Trin- idad statement, with its demand upon the public for “heroic mood.” ‘He goes further, setting forth the precise and only terms upon which he will accept the nomination and notifying all dele- gates to the Republican national conven- tion just what his candidacy stands for. The Colonel was led into this declara- tion by the conversational tone of one of his visitors at Sagamore Hill on Wednesday. This visitor lives in a neighboring State and is a candidate for Congress. He also hopes to be a delegate to the Republican national con- vention next June. “You know, Colonel,” said the visitor, “J may make up my mind that we will have to nominate you.” There was something in the question that suggested a hint of the you-vote- | for-me-and-I'll-return - the - compliment sort. The Colonel Makes Reply. It did not seem to please the Colonel, and his reply, delivered in sharp sen- tences, like blows of a hammer, will certainly never be forgotten by the would-be national delegate. It will be long remembered also by the other guests at Sagamore Hill, who crowded around the Colonel as he spoke. Fixing the would-be delegate with an eye that glittered, the Colonel said: “Well, now let me give you a piece of advice. If you have any doubt on the subject do not nominate me. Jet it perfectly clear in your head if you nominate me, it mustn’t be because you think it fs in my interest, but because you’ think it is in your interest, and the interest of *he Republican party. and becauge you think it is to the inter es* of the United S‘ates to do so. . “And more than that, don’t you do .t if you expect me to pussy foot on any single issue I have raised. Don't be for me anless you are prepared to siy that every citizen of this country bas to be pro-United States first, last ard all the time, and no pro-anything else at all, and that we stand for every good American everywhere whatever his birthplace or creed, and wherever he now lives, and that in return we demand that he be an American and nothing else with no hyphen about him. Must Be for America. “Every American citizen must be for America first, and for no other country, even second, and he hasn't any right to be in the United States at all if he has any divided loyalty between this country and any other. “I don’t care a rap for the man’s creed or birthplace, or national origir, 80 long as he ts straight United States. i am for him if he is straight Un'ted states, and if he isn’t, I am against him, and don’t nominate me uniess vou are prepared to take the position that Open sluices of system each morn- ing and wash away the poisonous, stagnant matter.

WAITE ACTED ALONE, FULLY SANE HE DECLARES Himself in Killing Dentist Says He Also Was Planning Only for Wants to Pay Penalty. need Wife's Parents— By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, | NEW YORK, April 6.—With the im- personal air of discussing a case other than his own, Dr. Arthur Warren Waite, from his cot in Bellevue Hospi- tal, told a Post-Dispatch correspondent that he expected and desired to pay the fullest penalty for the murder of his wife's parents, and then, as he ex- pressed it, “‘to pass on to a new life where I can get a fresh start.” ‘“T am as sane as anybody on this earth,” declared the dentist. “There is nothing I can offer in justification or excuse of myself and nothing, I am afraid, that can mitigate the situation for my poor family.” He smiled continually during the in- terview in which he mingled amusement and cynicism. ‘Unless I pay the penalty to the full- est I do not get a fresh start in the next world,” he said. “If I pay but one- half of the penalty here that will leave something to be undergone in the life beyond.”’ Dr. Waite said little that was new in the history of the Peck case. He elab- orated what he,.»@d already given in substance in h. signed confession to the New York World. Shows Effects of Drugs. The prisoner was propped up with pil- lows on his cot in a small room of the alcoholic ward. He was dressed in pink pajamas and a blanket was pinned about his shoulders. His face was pale and showed plainly the effects of the thysical suffering caused by the large doses of veronal and sulphwnal which he took the night before his arrest. “‘My mind is at ease now,” he said. “‘I have no dread of what lies beyond. 1 “wave thought it all out to my own satis- faction and I am ready to go.”’ ‘When did you first form your plans to do away with Mr. and Mrs. Peck?” che reporter asked. “I don’t wish to discuss that,’ he re- plied. ‘“‘That is a detail which will come out in time.” “Will you say whether you acted alone in your plots or whether they were sug- | gested by someone else, or whether someone else assisted you in them?” “TI acted entirely alone,’ he replied. “I want to make it clear that I accept the entire responsibility for everything I did.” “Do you now, or did you ever place the blame for your acts on the so-called ‘man from Egypt?’ ”’ “IT don’t want to taik about that,’’ Waite replied after a pause. ‘‘Dr. Greg- cry understands all about the ‘man trom Egypt.’ I was tired and didn’t want to talk to the District Attorney when I spoke about the ‘man from Egypt.’ ”’ *“‘Your plans for the future, Dr. Waite —assuming that you hoped to get pos- session of a large amount of money by. your crimes—did they include anyone except yourself?’’ “‘No one but myself,’’ he replied. “Did they include Mrs. Horton?” Avoids Mrs. Horton’s Name. “No one but myself,’’ he repeated, avoiding Mrs. Horton’s name “My plans were not exactly to get a large amount of money; but I don’t want t» discuss that.’’ “Will you explain about the woman who wrote letters signed ‘Your loving South African Mother” ”’ “TI might as well clear that up,’ he replied. ‘‘As you know, I had two large farms in British South Africa. I was associated there with a Mr. Steyn and when I went away I left him in charge vf my property. I had a letter from him only yesterday. Steyn’s mother, a dear cld lady of 60 years, took an interest in me and called me her ‘American son’ and I called her my ‘South African mother.” We were very fond of each other.”’ “When you took the drugs in your apartment on the night before your ar- rest, did yeu intend to kiil yourself?’ he was asked. “I did not,’’ he replied. “I have suf- fered from insomnia for years.and have been in the habit of taking opfates to induce sleep. That night I took an over. dose, that was all. If I had wanted to commit suicide I could have done it in a better way.” Uncle Sam is to be strong enough to de- fend his rights and to defend every one of his people wherever these peon'e are, and he can’t be strong enovgh un- les; he prepares in advance. “IT am not for war, on the contrary I abhor an unjust or a wanton war, and I would use every honorable ex- pedient to avoid even a just war. But I feel with all my heart that you don’t in the long run avoid war by making other people believe that you are afraid to fight for your own rights. “Uncle Sam must never wrong the weak, he must never insult anyone or wantonly give cause of offense to either the weak or the strong. The surest pos- sible way to enable him to keep the peace and to keep it on terms that will enable Americans to hold their heads high and not hans them in shame is for him to be so prepared in advance, and I mean prepared in his own soul as well as with his army and navy, that when he says anything the rest of the world will know that he means it and that he can make it good. Wants Policy Followed. “Don’t you try to nominate me unlesa you think that is the policy that ought to be followed out and followed out for your sake as much as for mine and for the sake of the rest of us here in the And don’t forget that isn’t a course that provokes war, it is the only course that in the long run prevents war and secures national self- respect and guarantees the honor of this country and the rights of its citi- zens wherever they may be.’’ It is said that the would-be national delegate responsible for the Colonel's outburst mumbled an unintelligible re- ply and softly faded from the scene. The prominent visitors of the day at Sagamore Hill were Horace 8S, Wilkin- son of Syracuse, Henry L. Stoddard, George W. Perkins and John C. Shaffer, publisher of a chain of newspapers in Mr. Shaffer emphat- ically contradicted the oft-repeated argument that there is no Roosevelt sentiment worthy of the name west o£ the Alleghenies. Friends of Justice Hughes Will Ask for Final Word of His Attitude. NEW YORK, April 6.—Republican leaders in this State, with the primary election over, will make an earnest ef- fort to get from United States Supreme Court Justic Charles E. Hughes a pub- lic declaration of his position with ref- erence to the Kepublican presidential nomination. The leaders will seek from Justice tiughes a clear definition that will re- move the last vestige of doubt whether or not he will accept the nomination should the Republican convention tender it to him. They want something more conclusive than has yet come from Jus- tice Hughes, and will ask it on the ground that their delegates are entitled to the information as this is his home State. Some indication of what is in the minds of the leaders was given by | Frederick C. Tanner, chairman of the Republican State Committee, who called @& meeting of the newly elected com- | mitte for Saturday noon at the State } headquarters here, ahd it-is certain Mr. } Tanner will be re-elected. Tanner sai: | the primary election | & “The result of was entirely satisfactory. While no tn- structed delegates to the national con-} j vention were elected yesterday, the mat: | jority favors the appninetion of oA ice; of his name. If we can’t get that, there is no use starting a fight for him. I hope he will announce that he is a candidate.”’ “Were any delegates elected who fa- vor the nomination of Col. Roosevelt?” was asked. “I don’t believe any of them favor the nomination of the Colonel now, said Tanner with a smile. The last word is significant, for it is a fact that many delegates. up the State who want to nominate Hughes, but who should the Justice decline, would swing to Roosevelt in the hope of reuniting the party. The leaders, whose ‘‘advice’’ the delegates will take, are maintaining about the same atti- {year of diminished efficiency HE WOULD ALTER 1S. CONSTITUTION Longer Term for President and Closer Relations Between Him and Congress. William Howard Taft, former Presi- dent of the United States and now pro- fessor of law at Yale University, last night gave the first of a series of pub- lic addresses before the Washington University Law School, in Graham Me- morial Chapel. He spoke on the presi- dency, its power, duties and responsi- bilities. : In the course of his speech he sug- Sested several !mprovements which he thought could be made in the Constitu- tion. The original document was an act of wisdom, he said, but he was of the opinion that a better Government would result if some changes should be made. He added that there was no hur- ry about it, and cautioned the people tc be very guarded in allowing changes, “for there are men abroad in this country in whose hands the Constitu- tion would not be safe over night.”’ Considerable amusement was fur- nished the audience of about 800 by the frequent outbursts of the famous Taft laugh. It was evident, as the former President referred to various phases of peared extremely ludicrous in the light or four years’ reflection. The speak- er’s reminiscent narrative was often in- terrupted by his sudden, high-pitched gurgle, dying .out in a low chuckle, while the expansive smile still lingered. When Taft laughed all the audience laughed. The first thing he would have changed by the Constitution, Taft- said, is the length of the President’s term. He thought a term of six or seven years would be better, and that the President slhiould not be eligible for r.-election. It has been his observation, he said, that the last year of the term of a Presi- dent who is seeking re-election is a in gov- ernment. He also thought the President and Congress should be brought inte closer relation by giving Cabinet of- ficers the right to go on the floor of the Senate and the House to in- troduce bills and make arguments for administration measures. It is pos- sible that this could be done under the present constitution, if the custom were only started, Taft said, but he thought it would be better to have it authorized by the constitution, in order to obviate any resentment that the Congressmen might feel. Prof. Taft spoke earnestly in favor of the introduction of the pudget sys- tem of appropriations into our Gov- ernment, bb: a constitutional .amend- ment. “One of our said, “Is the greatest dangers,” he constantly increasing cost of government. In the past our resources were so great that there was no thought as to what we could afford, but the sole idea was to get tude. an appropriation for whatever was | « Newtashioned, of course’’ —Knit-in fashioned leg=— qee — High-spliced heel aap tt ee grip to and comfortable heel pocket — Double-thick sole, no seam —Re-enforced toe Notice the special features indicated by the arrows BURLINGTON Newfashioned Hosiery ‘Made to fit from thé toe up” Notice the special features = indicated by the arrows in the illustration.

We should place on the executive the duty of cal culating what he will need to. run the Government, in al] its branches, each year and he should go to Con- gress and ask for an appropriation. Congress should not be allowed to in- crease this budget. In this way we can bring the whole picture of Gov- ernment expenditures before Congress and the people. As it is now, no- body knows what we can afford.” Prof. Taft spoke at length of the President’s veto power. He held it to be the duty of ithe executive to veto any bill that he believed to be unconstitutional. Some Congressmen and Presidents, he said, favor passing an unconstitutional law up to the courts to. decide and then when the court declares it unconstitutional here goes up the howl that “the courts are stamping on the people's rights.” This is what causes much of the adverse criticism of our courts, he said. The former President brought a laugh in this connection with a story of Roosevelt's days in the New York Legislature. He said Tim Campbell, a Tammany member of the Legislature, asked Roosevelt to vote for a certain bill. Roosevelt refused on the ground that the bill was unconstitutional. A cating the recall of judicial decisions, ° continued Prof. Taft, “I am inclined to believe that he is leaning toward Tim’s view.” The President should also veto any bill he thinks inexpedient, Prof. Taft said. He contended that the Presi- dent is as much or more a representa- tive of the people than is Congress, because the President is elected by all the people, while the Congressmen are elected only from small districts. Prof. Taft approved of President Wilson's return to the custom of go- in,: in person before Congress to.read his. messages. “But think,” he said, “what a storm of eloquent criticism we have missed because Mr. Roosevelt nor I did not do it. If we had, I think I could hear John Sharp Williams or Ollie James lambasting ‘this return to a royal custom.’ I met Senator Williams the other day and told him this. He said he guessed I was right.” Yaft Delivers Second Address on “The Duties of Citizenship.” Prof. Taft addressed the students of Washington University this morn- ing at assembly in Graham Memorial chapel, upon “The Duties of Citizen- ship.” He said that suffrage was a duty. With regard to woman suffrage, he said it was a problem whether it would improve the condition of the women and of the body politic. He. said that the. question often rality. no heed to the duties of citizenship. Sunday Papers Announcement Formal Opening FOR OF OUR Jewelry Company FOR LOCUSTAT SEVENTH, DIAMONDS: STLOVIS Ma.

ASHE reached Dayton the next Mi morning. He had the addresz of Miss Evelyn Boice. He found that she was a boarder in a very re- spectable family, had come from anothe: city some months previous and was +ak- ing a course at an art school. Refinement, even luxury, were in evi- dence in the handsome drawing room where he sat awaiting the fiancee of his client’s son. Ashe decided that she could not be very poor to afford so ex- pensive a home, nor an adventuress if she was seeking teducation in a iine where the practical worker makes a good living. He had sent up his card by the serv- ant. In a few minnutes Miss Boice came into the apartment. The lawyer directed one searching analytical look at that charming face and wished he was home, anywhere, but in the presence af such ingenuousness, innocence and beauty. “We ure Strangers,’’ he observed, aris- ing with all the courtesy and respect- fulness he could command. ‘I wish we had remained so, Miss Boice,’’ he added almost sorrowfully. Her face was a void of amazement. Surely, never had she known so strange a meeting. § Are Yellow “That is a hard thing to say, is it not, Miss Boice?”" he continued, trying to force a whimsical smile, ‘‘and I must explain, I am a lawyer.

Please tell Mr. Thearle that I sympathize with him and that I really will not be any added burden to his troubles.” Willlam Ashe returned home to an- nounce to his client that the young lady was reconciled to his stern fiat. Then he partially forgot the lovely girl amid a hard, but a vain effort to secure an extension from his cred- itors. They had tied up $100,000 in collateral that, under a forced sale, would ruin the old merchant. “No arrangement can be made,” re- ported the lawyer one morning. “The collateral was closed out yesterday and purchased by some outsider.” “Then the creditors will be paid?’ asked his client. “Dollar for dollar, but the holder of the collateral now holds you at his mercy.” Saved From A SHE Beggary. left the broken merchant making his arrangements to close up his business and begin life all over again. Two hours later Ashe came rushing into the office of gloom, madly excited. “Look!” he cried, flinging down a big envelope before his client. “The note canceled! the collateral released!” gasped Gregory Thearle. “What marvel is this?” Then his eye fell upon the name upon the note, that of the person to whem the bank had transferred it. “Evelyn Boice!” he fairly shouted, and then before the lawyer could make an explanation the old man col- lapsed under the shock completely. But the full explanation came later and a happy chain of circumstances it involved, indeed. William Ashe surmised what had happened as soon as he saw that name. The “fortune hunter,” the sweet girl at Dayton, had returned the stern treatment. of by saving him from beggary. “You never told me that you were rich, that you were an heiress,” Rod- ney said to her a day later. “Why should I have done g07”’ challenged Evelyn modestly. “It was so delightful to be loved just for my poor little humble self.” Copyright by W.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH THURSDAY EVENING, ‘APRIL 6; 1916. — - ~ si ‘’nke the Piace of Men, Thus Limiting the Number to Be Drafted. PARIS, April 6.—Women are being employed in garrisons in the place of soldiers of the Auxiliary Service. The experiment, just began at the headquarters of the Thirty-Sixth In- fantry at Caen has proved so success- fil that the Minister of War has sug- gested that the commanders of other garrisons use women wherever it is possible. Thus the drafts of the 1888 military class will be limited, which will permit professional men to con- tinue to attend to their regular du- ties and will give employment to the widows, mothers and sisters of sol- diers killed. All the women usefi in the garrisons are to be classified under the direc- tion of various chiefs of the service and will be placed according to their qualifications. Ercker’s 608 OLIVE 511 N.

For eight unfruitful innings they were SAA STICK AROUND AWHILE, YOUR SS “% before By W. J. O’Connor. ARDINAL players contend that yesterday’s defeat, 4—2, at the bands of the Browns in fe third game of the chilblain series, was attribu- table to the negligence of Manager Huggins in shifting his inexperi- enced outfielders when Del Pratt went to bat in the ninth inning with Mar- sans on third. The Cardinals played Pratt for a left-field hitter. His groove is'in right. Jack Smith was playing too much in left-center for D. Burnham, He was 20 yards away froni where he should have been when Pratt hit the ball. Con- sequently an anemic fly that arched its way to short’right center went for two bases whereas it should have been an out. That was the ball game. Subsequently the Cardinal defense col- lapsed and the Browns chiseled out four runs, saving their bacon in the series, for, with the confidence that one “break” in the run of luck should in- spire the proteges of Fielder Jones to- day are favorites for the title. The series stands 2—1 against them, but the popular hunch now is that the “Browns will begin to bat.”’ Yesterday's game was by far the most interesting of the series because it served to introduce Fielder A. Jones in his favorite role of baseball's Shylock. Hie played the old percentage off the boards and mercilessly demanded his ‘pound of flesh until he was paid in a victory. Jones’ tactics vesterday were indicative of what the fans at Sports- man’s Park may expect this season, Jones Outguesses Huggins. ‘He used 20 players and all his stock strategems to win. He manipulated his pitchers and his batters like a maste: and in the end outmaneuvered Hugyins. It didn't take Jones long to exer- cise the recall on Bob Groom, and it was the dispatch ith which Groom wae benched that largely contributed to. the Brown victory. charge often Miller lluggins his pitchers, He ahmost invariably is lost, in calling for the reserves. Not so with Jones. When Cruise clouted a vicious dou- ble to right in the sixth frame, Jones came galloping out of the bench. The situation then was this: The Cards hag twee runs, runn->:rs on seeond and third and none out. Jones beckoned for Davenport to pitch to Betzel. The successor to Miller Huggins tapped to Austin and was flagged at first. Gonzales bounded one at Pratt, who made a poor return to the plate, but a great play by Hart- ley gpaved the day, Miller’ being erased on a close decision at the plate. Snyder purposely was passed, filling the bases. Steele rolled to Pratt, who touched second, forcing Snyder. Generalship Won Out Here. Jones turned what looked like ut- ter rout into an orderly retreat. He fell back to his secondary defense without endangering his lines of communication, as it were. But that was only a starter. Let's epitomize the managerial operations of the Browns’ oss sequentially, starting with the penebing of Groom: SIXTH NNING—Called for Davenport to relieve Groom with has been made is too lenient hesitates and peer | Series Facts TODAY'S GAME.

Benched Walker after he had one ball and one strike called and put Clemons in to hit. Clemons was called out on strikes after he had jockes ad to.a 3—2 call. Fincher was ae pitcher in the last half of the. eighth, with Tobin in right. NINTH INNING-——With Pratt on third, one out and a run needed to tie, he sent Ward Miller to bat for Hartley. Borton baited for lavy- an, and after Ames’ wild throw, Paulette relieved Lorton at third as arunner. Ernie Johnson went to short and SevereiJd behind the bat in the last pertion of the ninth. Twenty Brownies Used. In all, Jones used 2% players. He called on every man in his squad but the ex- cess pitchers As the Cards went to bat in the last half of the ninth, he had all the reserve pitchers warming up. He was guarding, against every emergency which, fortunately, didn’t arise because Fincher and Weilman came througn as expected. It was a tyrmcal Jones game. It was what the fans may expect in every fame this season which isn’t won in regulation rounds by the Browns. Jone will spare no man’s feelings. He’s-ou there to win and win at any costs. If it appeais to him that na batter with the call 3—2 has leas chance of hit- ting the decisive pitch than some utility man on the bench, you can hank on seeing a switch. He plays the old percentage like baseball's Shylock - ee ee — A Se ee ee ee should. — Absence of Hornsby Helped to Beat Cards; Doak Vs Davenport Today failure of Jack Smith to play Pratt as a W right-field hitter was the most damaging piece of defense for the Cardinals yesterday, the fact must not be overlooked that subse- quently a poor defensive play by Mi- quel Gonzales at first gave the Browns their winning runs. Gonzales nosed into the box score because of the absence of Rogers Hornsby, who has a boil on his neck. Corhan ee is disabled, forcing Mil- ler to pier short. In the noisy ninth when the Browns, outpointed in every previous round, put over their kayo wallop, it landed on Gonzales. Marsans Starts it. | Mareans began this inning by shaking up right field with a triple, a short past his fellow countryman, Gonzales.

LOOKING THEM OVER WITH | ‘OLD MAND DOPE Harry Kabakoff 2 the Bantam —s LD MAN DOPE emerged from the resin-cloud at ringside, Tuesday night at the Future City A. C., and ran right into the arms of Alibi Ikeovitch, one of Harry Kabakoff’s $2-a-throw ringside admirers. “What-did you think of the fight?’ asked Ike, who owns two lamps in his bean, but can see no one in the ring except Kabakoff. “T gaw no fight,” replied the Old Top. “If you mean that = runnirg match, why, I give it to Kabakoff.

McNeill Hit Him Hard.” “Kabakoff, just now, crumples like a dish towel, if struck on the jaw. The necessity of protecting his head forees him.to take body punishment; and that will ruin him, shortly.

S Mr. Jarr turned up his coat col- A lar: when he stepped from the street car into the rain, he was aware of the figure of a little girl under o very large umbrella. “Hello, papa!’ came a shrill voice from under the umbrella. “It’s me!” “Won't your mamma miss you and be frightened?’ asked Mr. Jarr. “‘For surely she never let you out in such kind of weather!” “Oh, yes, she did,” said the little girl solemniy. “She said ‘Poor papa will get all wet; he has no umbrella. Willie, you take the umbrella and go for papa!’ But Willie said, ‘I won’t do it!’ Ain't he a bad boy?’ “Why didn’t your mother come with the umbrella herself or send Gertrude with you? It is strange she’d let you come alone,” asked Mr. Jarr, still mys- tified. “Mamma was afraid she'd spoil her new hat,”’ said little Emma. Mr. Jarr picked up the umbrella with ene hand and the little girl he — on his arm, and thus they went hom2. “Mamma said,’as I was such a svod little girl, you was to stop and buy me a whole lot of candy and Willie wasn't to have none,’ remarked the little girl, as her glance fell upon the window of a candy store. “To be sure,’ said Mr. Jarr, kissing her. “‘How thoughtless of me to forget when my little: girl has come all the way to meet her pap%.’”’ As they came-out of the store with little Emma rifling the candy box as her father held her, she remarked: ‘And because I’m such a good little gir] I’m to have candy every day, ain’t I paps, and Willie ain’t to have none, because he’s a bad boy?’ “Oh, yes, to be sure,” said Mr. Jarr. “And now, dear, are you sure your tamma sent you with the umbrella?”?’’ “She just beggel me to go,”’ declared little Emma, stoutly. “Well, it’s very strange,’’ said Mr. Jarr, “she’s generally so careful about not letting you go out alone, even in nice weather.’’ The little girl did not answer, but be- gan to cry and ate candy harder than ever. “There you are!” cried Mrs. Jarr, as Mr. Jarr entered the house with the little girl. “I suppose she was down in the hall waiting for you to tell vou what a bad little girl she’s been this day?’’ A significant glance was exchanged be- tween Mr. Jarr and little Emma. “Oh, well,” gaid Mr. Jarr, “she’s only a baby.’’ “*Yes, and you spoil her till there is :o living with her. Guess what she wanted to do?” “Oh, never imind, it’s all right,’ said Mr. Jarr evasively. not to be put off. “She actually wanted to take an um- brella and go way around the corner three blocks to meet you at the car. The idea! Just to humor her at first |! told her that we never knew what time you would come home, and that. she might wait there for hours; but, ef course, I had ny intention at al] of per- mitting her to do such a thing!” | “Oh, of ccurse not—a little thing like | her,’? said Mr. Jarr. “Then,”’ continued Mrs. Jarr. “she car- ried on terribly. She certainly inherits her temper from you. So I sent her in the front room and told her not to move until you came home and if she did 1 wvuld make you whip her—and whip her good” “Oh, I don't want to come home and punish the children,” said Mr. Jarr. un- easily. “You have ust got to this time!” said Mra. Jarr. “She obeyed me by slipping eut of the parlor and down into the hall when she hear you coming! And you've brought her candy, too! Give me tha: box!" added Mrs. Jarr to the little gir!. A SURE WAY TO END DANDRUFF There is one sure way that has nev- er failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you de- stroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will complete. ly dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find all itching and dig- ging of the scalp will stop instantly, ead your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, cyl silky and soft, and look and hundred times better.—ADV. ee But Mrs. Jarr was} BREAKFAST SPECIALS Sour wane. .
