District, and treasurer of the Outlying School District in East St. Louis for 12 years, has made known to his bonds- men that he, has -used $37,000 of the funds under his control in buying real estate. He offered to turn over the real estate, which is in his own name, to rake good the amount. There is no balance in the district's school fund. Information of the situatio:.,, vhich vas made Wednesday to three bonds- men in the illinois State Bank, did not become public until today. One of the bondsmen at the meeting who asked that his name be withheld, told a Post-Dispatch reporter details of Le Page’s statement, Called Bondsmen Together. — Le Page called the three bondsmen, 10 witnesses were examined, all of | Maurice V.

Hie told the bondsmen that he would be willing to give up the property at 65 per cent of his value to straighten out his accounts. He was told that bondsmen would take over the prop- erty and realize what it could on it. Joyce asked a banker if the bank would loan 60 per cent of the value oj; the property on it, and the banker said that it would. The bondsmen roughly estimated th actual value at $80,000. There never was an accounting of the funds in Le Page’s possession dur- ing the time he was in office, but such an accounting had become nec- essary because of the appointment of August Iggman treasurer to succeed Le Page.

BRUSSELS, via Paris, April 15.— Cardinal Mercier, primate of Belgium, has sent a reply to the letter of Gen. von Bissing, Governor-General in the aeccupied portion of Belgium, protest- ing against statements in the Lenten Pastoral of the cardinal and warning the prelate that he must cease his al- leged political activity. The Cardinal letter says: “It behooves us, Excellency, in an- swering the letter it pleased you to address us, to render homage to the courtesy you have shown to the ven- erated head of our church. “The faithful servant of our Lord Jesus Christ, we obeyed the summons ‘of His Representative on earth. But vou know, Excellency. that it was not we who solicited the great honor of laying our homage at the feet of His Holiness. Allow us then, even smit- ten as we are by admiration before the warlike pomp surrounding you and the brilliant staff which, like King Saul, you have attached to your person, nevertheless to retain our full liberty of judgment. “That liberty in the troubled hours through which our country is pass- ing we cannot and will not relinquish.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., April 15.—Ad- vices from Consul! Letcher at Chihuahua received yesterday by Gen. Funston show .that the American troops which were fired on in Parral were unarmed when they were attacked by the Car- ranzist soldiers and the townspeople of Parral. Letcher’s advices come from Mexican sources, but the story is so circeum- stantial and so probable that it is ac- cepted as very likely here. According to this report, 4 men from the American camp outside of Parra! were sent into the town to buy pro- visions. Arrangements had already been made for the purchase, and the men did not carry arms. This was a concession to the feelings of the Mexican soldiers and people and was done to keep them from alarm. Foreed to Retreat. As they were leaving Parral. a crowd gathered, and finally a shot was fired, apparently by a Mexican civilian. The Americans were forced to retreat. They were unarmed and confronted by a force much larger than their own. Ag they fell back to their camp, the crowd fol- lowed, and it is presumed that many Carranza soldiers were in the mob. As the Americans approached their, camp, their. comrades turned out, and soon the pursuers had become the pursued. A machine gun was brought into action and it mowed down the opposing Mex- icans. The casualties as reported in Letcher’s message were 40 Mexicans killed, and two American foldiers killed. The first message said that 20) Americans were wounded, but no mention of this was made in today’s report. Leoking for Gomez. Gen. Funston also was advised today that an American army aeroplane had returned to its base after scouting from Columbus, N. M., over the Sierra Madre Mountains in Sonora, This is a feat of considerable moment. The moun- tains are high, with passes between ‘Mexican people which might lead to the. permanent . | dormitory an Mashoues: consuls in touch with the _ interior Mexican points lead officials to hope that there is now little danger that news of the recent fight at Parral would arouse resentment among the further complications. Accounts of the fight published in Saltillo, Chihuahua and Mexico City, apparently, caused no excitement among the people at those points. State Department dispatches from El Paso refer to unconfirmed reports of a second fight with American troops at Parral. Arredondo Without Advices. Eliseo Arredondo, Gen. Carranza’s Ambassador here, said he had no further information of the fighting at Parral nor of reports of a later clash and had, been advised of no developments in Gen. Carranza’s proposa! for the withdrawal of American troops. Gen. Funston telegraphed from San Antonio to the War Department that he Lad not heard from Gen. Pershing for three days. Secretary Baker sald Gen. Funston was urging Gen. Pershing to rush a report on the Parral incident. Gen. Funston’s message was taken to indicate that the silence of Gen. Persh- ing probably was due to inability to get information, rather than to interruption ef communication, Gen. Funston has been in communication with other au- thorities in close touch with the ad- vance .expedition, but had asked Gen, Fershing to report oftener, if possible, to keep the War Department advised.

[he first of the notes, written March 16, is as follows: “Arredondo (Carranza’s Washington), Mexican Washington: “The First Chief has ordered me to at at agent embassy whieh, in due form and in writing, you will present to the Secretary of State of the United States for his consideru- tion, trying to secure his prompt rerlyr and sending the same to this miniatry as soon as the circumstances of the case permit: “Project of agreement between Mex- ico and the United States of Norrn America, relative to the passing of troops over the boundary line for the Pensecatign of bandits: *“artidle 1, It is agreed between the ‘Government of Mexico and che United States of North America that the ‘eg- ular Federal troops of one or the other country, as well as any forces of milt- tiamien or of those duly organized by either Government may reciprocally pass the boundary line at any point be- tween the Rio Colorado “ini Piedras Negras when they may be closely (ur- suing individuals declared outside the law or evildoers who have interned “Ithemselves in either of the countries, after committing depredations, for the purpose of eluding punishment. Terms Carranza Proposed. Article 2. This agreement will be wub- ject in all its terms and conditions to the following stipulated articles: “Article 8 The reciprocal passage re- ferred to in article 1 will be made only in the unpopulated and desert regions between the points mentioned. Un- populated or desert regions will be all those regions at least 10 kilometers dis- tant from any military camp or any town from the boundary line of either country. “Agticle 4. Only in exceptional cases can the prosecutipn be carried to points nearer to camp or towns, as referred to in the previous article, and for the publteation of this article exceptional cases will be those camps or towns situated in mountains or whose access ia made difficult by accidental or even ordinary circumstances. “Article 5. The commander of forces that cross the line in the prosecution of must, on crossing the before, if possible, im- notify the military com- | or the negrest civil of-| ficial of tne country entered. Also the military commander of the forces pur- suing must advise his Government that it may give notice to the Governm=nt whose territory has been entered. - deliver to you the following protocol’ | consequence, the pursuing forces | er must not pass outside this zone, nor) q will not be permitted, but this force may earry in thelr equipment machine guns in addition to their own arms. “Article 10. Commanders of the forces of the respective countries will agree upon code signais that they may know each other and avoid confusion. “Article 11. Under no condition will ths forces be allowed to occupy towns or camps situated in tife country they may have’ entered in accordance with the terms of this agreement. “Article 12. If eenfusion oceurs and damage is done to one of the parties by the other commander, the party cauging the damage shall be held personally re- sponsible, without implying responsibil- ity for either of the contracting par- ties, nor shall such act be considered sufficient to cause a rupture of the re- lations between the countries. Both of the contracting Governments obligate themselves to severely punish acts of the nature specified in this article and for this purpose investigations will be sent on foot by the country of the com- mander responsible. “Article 13. The dispossession of pri- vate property of persons living in ter- ritory crossed by the pursuing forces ts absolutely forbidden, as is the occupa- tion of houses without the consent of the owners and the payment of a proper indemnity. Abuses of this nature shail be punished according to the gravity of the offense, under the laws of the coun- try to which the forces belong—as if committed in their own country. The Government to which the offenders be- long is obligated to remove such persun or persons to the frontier and to in- demnify those injured. (Article 14 is missing.) “Article 15. This agreement will re- main in force for one year, counting from the date of its signing by the rep- resentatives of both countries, but it may be terminated at the will of either party by two months’ advance notice. If no notice has been given at the end of the year mentioned, it is tacitly agreed that the agreement continues without further notice for another year.’ “AGUILAR.” What United States Offered. In reply to this note, the United States made the following counter proposition: “Article 1. It is agreed that the regu- lar forces of the two republics may cross the Boundary line in pursuit of parties of bandits or armed parties that may have entered one country or tho cther after having committed outrages on foreign soil and having escaped by way of the boundary line. “Article 2 The reciprocal passage as agreed upon in Article 1 will only take place in comparatively uninhabited or poorly protected territory and at no case at @ less distance than (7) kilometers from any camp er town in the territory in which pursuit takes place, except in mountainous places difficult of access. “Article 4.

Liner ani he an gp germ by the Sevérament to which they belong ag if they were committed in the country of the guilty person and offenders will be retired to the frontier and prompt in- demnification will be made to the in- jured parties. . “Article &8.—In cases of abuses com- mitted by inhabftants of the country against the pursuing forces, the Govern- ment of the country in which the abuses have been committed will be solely re- sponsible in case of a miscarriage of ,justice or failure to punish the guilty. “Article 9. This agreement will take effect upon its being signed by the con- tracting parties and will remain in force u1.til terminated by two months’ antici- patory notice by either party.’ On March % the Mexican Government sent a second note which contained cer- tain modifications. In it co-operation with the forces was agreed on if a request of one of the parties was made to that effect. It contained the addi- tional article: “No prosecution can be begun after indicates that a large majority of the Senators believe the Presidént ought’ tu send more troops inte Mexico to hunt 4 Villa and to cali for volunteers to provect the border. There was an undercurrent of sentiment, chiefly among Hepublicans, that the embargo on munitions of war everywhere in Mexico should be en- forced. Senator Stone's advocacy of interve’:- tion or withdrawal is still ringing. The chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, after conferring with Secre- tary Lansing yesterday afternoon, said the State Department had no informa- tion that had not beén made pwblic. “The problem confronting this Gev- ernment is how long it would be wise to keep an expeditionary force in Mex- icy,” said Senatcr Stone. “I have never believed that we would achieve the cap- ture of Villa. Diaz had a price on Villa’s head for years and could not gét him. I do not doubt that Carranza would like to get him, but he hag been unable to do go. Villa is in his own country, and our soldiers are in a diffi- cult, unknown 3ountry. They have suc- ceeded in breaking up some of Villa's bands and have accomphshed something. I was strongly in favor of sending th? expeditionary furce after Villa whether it got him or not. “But we have recognized the de facto Government in Mexico and agreed to send an éxpeditionary force into Mexico for a certain purpose. How long can we let that army stay in a foreign coun- three days have elapsed from the time of the commissizn of the crime unless the offenders have remained for that length of time in the territory where the crime was committed.”’ It also was insisted upon in the new draft that clashes between the two con- tracting parties trhuugh errors or the tn- discretion of commanders ways not to be, considered sufficient to hold the Govern- ment of the offenders respcnsible, nor could attacks cf inhabitants on the pur- suing forces be considered as such. Carranza Insists on Terma, ) With this note, Minister Arredondo was handed the following written in- structions: “Explain to the Secretary of State that the Mexican Government insists on hav- ing included in the agreement stipula- tions relative to the limitation of tha zone through which the pursuing forces are to operate; as to the time they should remain in that zone; the arms to be carried and the maximum number of troops. “The reasons the Mexican Government has for insisting on this are: In the first place, the Government does not believe that the territory east of Piedras Negras need be taken into consideration for the reason that Villa and his party: always have operated in the states of | Sonora and Chihuahua and we consider the necessity for extending the agree- ment to the whole frontier remote. “In the secon plice, the Government | considers it essential to place a iimit on the distance which pursuing forces | may penetrate and believes that 60 kilo- meters is ample fur the pursuing armv to come in contact with the bandits o- the forces of the country they have en- tered. The latter forees are te continue the pursuit. ‘In the third piace, pursuing parties in such instatices can have little use for artillery and infantry, as action must De rapid and can only be carried out by cavalry. Infantry and artillery cannot he considered useful to a pursuit of this nature by the Mexican Government, as their use may give rise to twisted ver- sions and might be the cause of serious encounters between residents -of one or the other country. “Furthermore, impress upon the sec- retary that the Mexican Government be- lieves that for the purposes of pursuit over the frontier, a maximum of eight days’ time is sufficient fer either cap- turing the offenders or agreeing with the forces of the injured country to do 80. ‘Lastly, the limitation relative to the number of troops is important as it ig fair to suppose that the number of bandits is not great and that a thousand cavalrymen would suffice for the work, If a greater number of troops crogs, it. endangers the good ,relations between the two countries.” On April 6 the Washingten Govern- ment sent another note agreeing to the proposition that only @ kilometers of the border line be considered in tha agreement and that the pursuing force would not remain in foreign territory more than 15 days without a special agreement. The new note also agreed that neo pursuit would commence after a period of three days had elapsed since the commission of the raid. To this was added a special request that the expedi- tion now in Mexico be considered a spe- 2 hag Sige rs A Government refused te give ite consent te this request and, in turn, demanded the recall of the Ameri- can troops. Sub-Secretary Amador in hia state- ment said the American troops had iak- en heavy artillery into Mexico. Dis- patches from the American ex peditior stated that only machine guns and figh* try where friction already exisis and where more friction is bound to develop? If we adhere tu our policy toward Mex. ico we cannot keep the army there. ‘To my mind, the oaly alternative to with- drawing the troops sooner or later is tn- tervention. Committeemen’s Opinions, Opinions by other members of tne Foreign Relations Committee follow: Senator Borah (Rep.), Idaho~—I great- ly fear for the American soldiers in Mexico today. If they are to be kept there, reinforcements should be aur- ried to the border. Senator Sutherland (Rep.), Utah--If we are g@ing to keép the troops in Mexico, we should hurry more men to the seomy immediately. S r Smith (Dem.), Arizona—We uld keep the troops in Mexico until get Villa or until Carranza «e's him for us. If we gome out now the interpretation of cowardice which will be placed by Mexicans upon the vwith- drawal of our troops would be the cause of fresh depredations along the border. Senator Pittman (Dem.), Nevada—I feel that discussion by members of the Foreign Relationg Committee at this time could do no good and might do harm. Senator Pomerene (Dem.), Ohio—-I don't see how we can order the troops iout of Mexico until they have accom- ' plished what they were sent there for. Senator Smith (Rep.), Michigan—Thse troops should never have been rent into Mexico to géet one. man. They. should have been sent there with a broader purpose in view, and they should have been sent in large bodies. The question as to whether Amertag troops should be ordered ou: now is a we i ticklish one. Senator Lodge (Rep.), Masegchusctts ~—t am not running the Forsign Rela- tions of the United States. That is the President's job, and you must exouste me from saying what I would do if f were President. In the cloakreoms of the Senate the Mexican situation Was discussed free'y. “l am unalterably opposed to with. Hee. the troops,” said Senator Cur. tis of Kansas. ‘I favor sending ran- forcements and I believe that an em- bargo against exportation of munitions to Mexico should be enforced at ance. The President has authority to order the embargo without further ection by Congress.” Resolution by MeLomere. resentative McLemore of Texas, eae resolution to warn Americans off belligerent ships raised ono of the live- illest rows of the present in- troduced @ resolution yesterday @éclar- ing that ‘the Américan military forces must not for any reason be withdrawn from Mexico until Francisco Ville hes been killed, captured or forced into ex- ile.”’ The resolution also provides that, “if forcements and to call for voluateore Pe tl s- of the militia of the states as Committee on Foreign Affairs. Members of that committee themselves as follows: Chairman Flood (Dem.), Virginia: I do not think it would be wise at this time to withdraw the American troops from Mexico. When they have accom- plished the purpose for which they were oat there it would be time enough t talk ef withdrawing them. Presiden’ Wilson, however, knows pée#t what rhould be done in the circumstances, mountain artillery are being used “i ae jand the House of ee chusetts; I think the time has come when it fs alear that further dilatory and neutral conduct would make the -gituation worgé instead of better. Svon- er or later the United States must take personal and: direct control for the es- tablishment of a strong and permanent government in Mexico.

Another time he and his brothers stole 3500 pounds of trolley wire from .the McKinley line near Staunton, Ill. A. piece of it fell across a rail, causing a big blue flare, which he said could have been seen for miles. This wire he said was sold for 18 cents a pound. The usual price received was 18 or B cents a pound, but some of the stolen wire was sold by them as low as 8 cénts. Their first experience with a “fence” in St. Louis, he said, was when they went to a junk dealer with a stolen auto tire. The dealer, when informed by them that they had found the tire, winked and told them he would buy all they could find. Lewis said they never permitted ‘“‘fences’’ to know where they lived, but made their sales either at the buyer’s place of business or met him on the road. Mrs. Bubb, mother of the Lewises, was asked by a detective if she really contended ahe did not suspect her sons of being thieves. She said she was sus: picious, and once asked Ora and Frank hor they made their living and why they always had the curtains of their automobile drawn. They told her, she said, that they hauled women across the river on joy rides, and that the women did not want to be seen. Woman Identifies Joe Lewis as Bur- giar in Her Home. Joe Lewis was identified in Chief Al- lender’s office this morning by Mrs. William Anderson of 5162 Vernon ave- nue as a burglar who entered her home the afternoon of March 21 and stole two diamond rings valued at $164 and $126 and a half dollar. Mrs. Anderson met the burglar in the hall of her home and in reply to a question as to what he was doing there he said he was looking for somebody and that he thought the bell did not ring. She told Chief Allender that she believed Lewis was the man and after she heard Lewis speak she said she was certain of the identification. She sale she remembered a slight lisp Lewis Police Must Investigate All Garages avd Sheds. The police have been instructed to inquire inte the purpese for which sheds and garages on their beats are being used. The order grew out of the revelation that the Lewis brothers, who killed Patrelmen McKenna and Dillon, rented a garage at 4172 Delmar boule- | wane fer the purpese of storing stolen automobiles. The order reads: “You will have a thorough and systematic canvass im- mediately made of your district to as- certain by whom and for what purpose sheds and garages are being used. “Tt has developed recently that sheds in various parts of the city have been used as fences for stolen property, es- pecially stolen automobiles. “Batreoimen should be informed as to the eharacter of all such places on. their beats and in future must see that prompt action is taken following the discovery of an Mlegitimate business.” 77 = er THE DAY IN CONGRESS bile yt a April 15.

Says Officers Usé the Meouey. * “If Senatore here will examine the records of these appropriations,’ Senator Borah continued, ‘they wiil hesitate about appropriating $506,000,- 000 for the National Guard, as it is now proposed to do. The way the of- ficers of the National Guard have been utilizing the Federal fund to aid themselves, to the exclusion of enlisted men, is perfectly shameful — and cannot be defended, except for political exigency. “I find, according to the report ot the War Department, that in the Ohio rifle match, 1911, $13,892 was ex- pended on the State rifle team, all of whom were officers. In this period from July 22,1911, to September 23, 1912, an officer, a colonel, drew pay to the amount of $1601, “In the period from July 30, 1911, te September 1, 1913, a third , | drew pay tv the amount of $1298.

SATURDAY EVENING, APRIT 15, 1916. — PREPAREDNESS Munition Makers Denounced by Speakers at Meeting at the Odeon. VINOSAURUS ON SCREEN Would Never Be Possible, It Is Declared, to Get Volunteer Army of 500,000. — The opponents of preparedness, acting on President Wilson’s admonition, hired a hall in St. Louis last night and gave to a crowd which filled the Odeon the ‘Truth About Preparedness.’ It con- sisted of denunciation of prepared- néss proponents, munition makers, churches, colleges, schools and four per- fectly pacific reporters who sat at a table at the edge of the stage. The people liked it so well that when the hat was passed they chipped in more than enough to pay the rent. It was such an enthusiastic audience that the five speakers had to edge in their remarks between cheers as best they could. Scott Nearinz, professor of economics, had to ask the people to re- strain their ebullience long enough for him to speak. The crowd wanted to cheer so badiy that when he stated the position of the preparedness people, in- tending to refute it, the crowd cheered the statement, and the refutation was lost in the shuffle. James Maurer, a member of the Penn- sylvania Legislature and union = iabor eader, stayed up 10 minutes overtime, in spite of Chairman Grossman's efforts to pull him down. Dinosaurus Shown, The enthusiasm broke out when the armoreq dinosaurus was thrown on the screen before the speaking began and stayed out until the end except for the short period when, at the re- quest of Prof. Nearing, it was held in. It got fairly started when the Rev. A. A. Berle condemned as a radical departure from American principles the attempt to adopt in this country the moribund and decadent and mur- gerous militarism of Europe. After that any speaker who wanted to fin- ish saying something before the crowd began ‘cheering had to be spry about it. Berle hoped the people of New York would not be judged by the newspapers of New York. In no city except Des Moines, he said, had he and the other speakers received decent treat:nent from the press since leaving New York. In Buffalo, he said, the newspapers gave four times as much space to ~ dog fight aS Was given to the mecting at which he spoke. He wondered if the St. Louis newspapers were as bad as that and an enthusiast in the audience assured him they were worse. The Armoy, ‘rust, he said, was the most perfect and effective and devilish demonstration of internationalism in the history of the world. Never since the world began ha:l there been such un in- famous perversion of the human prain to capitalize the slaughter of mankind. It would never he possible to get a volunteer army of 600,000, he said, be- cauge the average American was not low enough down in the scale of pruduction to take a job at $15 a month. He denounced the proposition to make eoldiers eligible for civil positions as an attempt to sweep away the merit sys- tem. Amos Pinchot, a brother of Gifford Pinchot, said that at no time since isl2 had America been so safe from in- vasion as now, but a general order had gone out from Wall street for every loy- al American citizen to look under the bed every night to see if the Kaiser was there. In spite of the newspapers he Was going to refuse to be carried away by the foolish fear of invasion. Not even the Navy League or the newspapers were telling the people to be afraid of England. The only nation left to fear as Germany and he did not believe the people of Ger- many wanted to fight the United States and he did not think their rulers could make them do so. An imvasion by Germany was impossi- ble, he said, as long as Wngland had a fleet, because England would not permit Germany to gain foothold on the same continent with Canada. ; Condemns Big Profits. The United States, he said. impregnatie against any Power ex- cept England. He named the mem- bers of the Navy League who are in- terested in munitions and condemned the excessive profits which, he 8a’, are made on munitions. He demand- ed that profits and po'‘tics be elimi- nated from the munitions plants and that they be taken over by the Gov- ernment, He did not fear England, Gerinany or Japan, but he feared the‘ elements among us who would de- stroy democracy with one hand while waving the flag with the other. While a quartet composed of Miss Rosalind Sternberg, Miss Ruth Jane Harris, Glenn Lee and J. J, Kessler sang “Oh, Field of Glory,” by®Miss Carrie Koch of Webster Groves, the collection was taken. Scott Nearing, who was recently dismissed from t'.e University of Pennsylvania because of his radical views and obtained a better ‘Place at the University of Toledo, received an evetion.

Miss McLaughiin was married on her deathbed to Ste- | vens. In a will made on March 30 and filed with Juan Carlor Andreu, a notary public of Havana, she left her estate to her husband and her aunt, Mrs. Ingles, with whom she lived up to the time of her elopement. When Mrs. Ste- vens eloped’ she wore jewelry val- ued at severai thousand dollars and carried . mor: than $10,000 in cash and bonds. Mrs. Stevens was the daughter af the late Patrick H.

Denounces Navy League. The Navy League, he said, wanted armament to protect investments in other countries. They knew that when the war in Europe was over we would have to fight the victor as long as international commercial com- petition continued. The only way to hold South American trade was to have enough guns and ships to pro- tect it. Although this sounded like pre- paredness argument, which Nearing was apparently preparing to refute, the crowd cheered and the refutation was not clear. He went on to say that trade was the germ of war, but he did not say what to do with trade. The war germ, he said, had got the pulpit, the college, rostrum, the newspapers and the schools. It was not a matter of national defense or patriotism, but a matter of world ag- grandizement and profit. The way to zo at the germ was not to arm it, but to disarm it. “Never mind Villa,’ he said. “He will not distrub anybody. Never mind Carranza, The men who are making war with Mexico are on this side of the border. The enemies of the coun- try were those who had broken down the standards of Democracy.” James Maurer explained at consid- erable length that he was quoting a member of the Pennsylvania con- stabulary when he said something about “down with the flag” ata meeting in New York. All the news- papers of St. Louis, he said, had printed a false report and only one had printed a correction when the truth was made known (The St. Louis newspaper which printed the correction when the truth was made knowr was the Post-Di:s- patch, This newspaper printed Mauer’'s explanation tnat in using the words, “Down with the flag,” he was quoting another and not express'rg his own sentiments, and also printed the fact of Maurer's vindication fol- lowing an investigation.) If there was war he wanted every newspaper editor, every preacher, the rabbis, sent to the firing line within 24 hours or shot at sunrise. The press, he said, was in control of the interests tack of the program of pre- paredness. He thought if some 2x4 orator had been scheduled to speak on preparedness the newspapers would have had columns about fit. Rabbi Wise Speaks. Rabbi Stephen J. Wise of New York had a little falling out with Nearing. Hie wanted Nearing to know, he said, that there were some churches and synagogues the pulpits of which were as free as Nearing’s own soul, but he would admit all that had been said about the newspapers. He had made up his mind, he said, not to leave St. Louis until he had registered his deep- est protest against the ‘absolute in- justice of the press of St. Louls. “We don't care,” he said, “what your edi- tors say. We know what value to at- tach to what they say. But we have a right to demand that the newspaers print the evidence on both sides. I charge the press of the United States, with a few exceptions, with denying to the American people the right to make up their minds on the basis of the evidence. The remainder of his speech was practically "the same as the one de- livered by him at the City Club a few weeks ago. Diamond Rings, Pay 81 a Week. Lofttis Bros. & Ce.. 2d fi.. 308 N.

McClure, known on the stage as Vessie H. Farrell, member of the Park Theater dramatic company, has been subpenaed to appear tn Justice Slater's Court, next Wednesday, and show cause why she should not pay 4 fee of $3 to Leighton Shields, an attor- ney, for consulting with him relative to obtaining a divorce. McClure lives in Kansas City. Shields has filed an attachment suit against Mrs. McClure, in which he al- leges that she consulted him Jan. 2, on the subject of getting a divorce and ob- taining custody of her child. He states in the petition that he analyzed ev!i- dence, investigated legal authorities, and took steps to get service on the hus- band in Kansas City. Mre. McClure told a Post-Dispatch re- porter that she did consult Shields, but was in his office only 30 minutes, and that she gave him no authority to pro- ceed with her case. She left him with the understanding, she said, that he Would undertake to do nothing in the case, and that she would wait a month or two before taking any steps, in the belief that her husband would file the suit. Since the consultation, she said, her husband had filed suit for divorce, and She did not seed an attorney to repre- sent her. She said she was willing to pay Shields % for his half-houz's time, and believed that was ample.’ Mrs. Mc Clure said she told Shields, when she consulted him, that she was unable t» pay a large “ee, as she kad to support. her mother out of her earnings on the stage A Beatitiful Rotogravure Pic- ture of a Charming Mov- ine Picture Actress Tomorrow.

NEW YORK, April 15.—‘‘Dictaphoni- tis’ is New York’s latest human ail- ment, according to a complaint filed with Health Commissioner Emerson, and at his suggestion investigated by the Public Health Committee of the Academy of Medicine. Loss or impair- ment of hearing and a gradually in- creasing state of nervousness are thie symptoms of the disease, which, it is said, afflicts those who serve as dicta- rhone typewriter operators. The com- plaint to the Health Department was made by a .girl operator.

PERSHING’S CAMP AT THE FRONT IN MEXICO, April 10, by motor and aeroplane to Columbus, N. M., April 16. —~What the American troopers call ‘‘Vil- la’s drug store’’ was among the prizes captured after the Guerrero fight, it was learned today from men of the Sev- enth Cavairy, who participated in that battle. The drug store was a pack mule loaded with quinine capsules, antisep- tics and bandages. In addition the mule carried a quantity of coffee, which the Americans considered of equal im- portance with drugs. One of the surprises of this campaign, according to Brigadier-General J. J. Pershing, commanding the expedition, has been the effectiveness of automo- biles in mountains and deserts, both of which were seemingly impassable to anything except men or four-footed ani- mals. “The automobiles have done work which astonished me,” said the Gen- eral. “They have traversed roads whicn seemed impassable, they have climbed hills where the rocks appeared sharp enough to cut the tires and smash the running gear; they have gone through canyons where a goat might hesitate. The automobiles have made faster progress than any branch of the serv- ice except our aeroplanes. Without them I doubt whether our cavalry could have proceeded as it has done more than 400 miles into Mexico in less than three weeks. “The automobile trucks have brought food for men and horses not only to advanced bases, but to points beyond these bases, sufficiently close to the cavairy columns to enable them to send back for supplies without losing the ad- vantages of their early forced marches.”’ Surprisingly Few Accidents. Automobiles likewise have been of great value to the staff officers. They have covered trails where nothing ex- cept a horse or man ever before traveled, at the rate of 10 miles a day. There were surprisingly few accidents to cars. When the wireless would net work, due to static conditions, and when hurricafes kept the aero- planes lashed to the ground, the auto- mobiles have. bridged the gap, making possible co-ordination of effort between the various commands over a long front. When making long rides through dis- tricts where attack might be expected the automobiles travel in small groups, with guards in each. With their mo bility, these auto parties are considered here as very effective fighting groups in emergencies. No river or ditch en- countered has proved a compiete ob- stacle to the progress of either the light staff automobiies or the 5000-puund trucks. The wild game of this region has not learned to fear the machines from which one or two deer have been shot. Droves of wild turkeys, flocks of quail, coyotes, a few wolves and some smalier animals have permitted machines to approach them closely. The bears alone have kept out of sight. The men at this camp have been dig- ging into the ground for shelters against the cold at night. Tents have not yet reached here, the rush to get food for- ward to the colamns now approaching the southern part of Chihuahua in »ur- suit of Villa, having crowded all other freight from the automobile trucks. Dig Bed in Ground. The ueoat soldiers shelter is a bed dug to a depth of six inches, with a small embankment piled around ft for wv windbreak. The dirt at the bottom of the trench is pulverized for comfort. A few of the men here, however, have dug themselves ditches six feet long and no wider than a coffin. At noon the temperature {fs 90, by early morning the creeks here are usually fro- zen. Surprise {s expressed by the men at time last year. to finish.

Bates, the husband, will accompany them. ! The killing of Mrs. Bates by two Deputy Sheriffs and a city police- man, who fired upon the Bates au- tomobile Tuesday night, thinking’. it might contain someone they would wish to arrest, has started a political upheaval here. Recall petitions gre in circulation, not only. against Sheriff Forbes, the official superior of two of the men who killed Mrs. Bates, but against Mayor Corbett of Tucson and .Jus- tice Comstock, Some of the autliors of the ForlLes petition say they are. not behind the attack on the Mayor and the Justice. ; The petition for the recall of Forbes lays three deaths at the door of the Sheriff's office. These are the Bates tragedy and the deaths of the two Mexicans, who were “strung up” to make them tell where a third man was, and who died from. strangula- tion. The two deputies, who perpe- trated this “stunt,” were recently sentenced to the penitentiary for 196 years each. “Within one year,” the recall pe- tition says, “we have had.three mur- ders, all emanating from the Sheriff's office. Two deputies have béen sent to the penitentiary. Itistead of pro- tection, two citizens have been hung in told blood, and a wife and mother has been shot down by the side of her husband.

The decision was given in the «uit brought by J. Ford Dorrance and B. f. Dorrance of Pennsylvania, brothers of John Dorrance, “wh alleged that Charles F. Dorrance/ was an adopted son. They sought to have the will set aside, so that the estate would revert to the trust provided by Charles F. Der- rance Sr., father of John Dorranes, whose will provided that the estate should remain ih the hands of blood -re- iations forever. The case was bitterly fought and the litigation extended \.\er several years. Mrs. Emma Dorrance, wife of John Dorrance, supported Charles F. ‘Dor- rance in his resistance to the suit and testified that he was her son. and that John Dorrance was his father, and that he was born Feb. 28, 1891, on the Dor- rance farm at Keytesville, Mo. Testimony was offered tha: the ecnild was adopted and was taken from St Ann’s Orphan Asylum, Page and Union avenues. Mre.

ne ADVERTISEMENT. - SATURDAY EVENING; APRIL 15, 1916. ~ ADVERTISEMENT. GR months the people of the United States have had fear pounded into their brains by magazines, newspapers and motion pictures. No enemy has been pointed out. All the wild ery for the spending of billions, the piling up of armament and the saddling of the country with a military caste has been based on nothing but fiction. For, Americans should realize that the fantastic stories of the invasion of the country: and its quick conquest are the work of fiction writers. It is a good rule to keep cool and take fiction at its own worth. Editorial enthusiasts have hastened to forget the disaster at the Darda- nelles, the statement of the President: ‘‘ We are threatened from no quarter;’’ the bankruptcy of bleeding and weakened Europe. With the fiction clearly in mind Americans should consider some facts. On the floor of the House recently Congressman E. W. Saunders of Vir- ginia said: 3 ‘‘Go forward, gentlemen, valiant aggregation that you are of jingoes and Don Quixotes, and attack the windmills of your fevered imaginations. We at least are content with a navy that is sufficient for the purpose of defense, and not large enough to tempt this coun- try to commit lawless aggression. ‘ ‘*Mr. Chairman, this is not a question of a great navy, but of a greater navy. This country has a great navy, a FAR GREATER NAVY THAN THE MAN IN THE STREET IS AWARE OF, when he listens to the ranters who would have him believe that sane and moderate men are unwise and unpatriotic, merely because they are unwilling to waste the substance of the country in a wild riot of naval construction. Compared with the guns of every other nation in the world, save Engiand, and the jingoes always exclude England from their calculations, the guns on our ships in weight and earry- ing poWer are distinctly superior to all others.’ Brigadier-General Erasmus Weaver, head of the coast artillery of the United States, confounds the fiction writers. General Weaver would have charge of the defenses of the country if snch an invasion occurred. In 1915, testifying as to the strength of our coast defenses, General Weaver said: ‘I have been a close student of the whole subject, naturally, for a number of years, and I know of no fortifications in the world, so far as my reading, observation and knowledge goes, that compare favorably in efficiency with ours.’’ On January 19 of the present year, General Weaver went before the House Committee on Military Affairs and asked for an increase of 11,000 men for the land fortifications. I quote from the report of the hearings before the committee : MR. McKELLAR—‘‘If we conclude to carry out your recommenda- _ tions and give you the 11,000 men, then, as I understand you, you would have a perfect system of coast defense that you think would be adequate for any purpose. GENERAL WEAVER—‘Yes.”’ MR, MeKELLAR—“‘Your idea is that your guns are sufficient now ?”’ GENERAL WEAVER—‘‘The guns now mounted and those contem- plated will give us an entirely satisfactory defense.’’ MR. McKELLAR—*‘You do not take any stock in the idea that the ships of foreign nations carry guns of long enough range to silence your guns ?’’ . GENERAL WEAVER—‘No.”’ MR. MeKELLAR—‘‘I want to ask you, General, with our present condition, 18 our condition of preparedness for defense deplorable?’’ GENERAL WEAVER—‘‘Except in the matter of personnel, it is not.’ MR. McKELLAR—‘‘It is in excellent condition, with the addition of a few officers and men, such as have been recommended by the department and by you?’’ GENERAL WEAVER—‘‘ Yes, sir.’’ MR. McKELLAR—‘‘In your judgment, is it not unfair and mis- leading to the American people io have a public man make a state- ment that would lead you to believe that the coast cities of our country are wholly at the mercy of some invading enemy?’’ GENERAL WEAVER—‘‘I do not know that there is any officer who is acquainted with the facts that would make such a statement.”’ MR. McKELLAR—*‘ Any public man; I do not say an officer?’’ GENERAL WEAVER—‘‘I hesitate to criticize public men.’’ In the Congressional Record of February 3, 1916, page 2265, is taken the following extract from the testimony of General Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A., retired : ‘ *‘Having had mueh to do with placing and construction of our forti- fications, and inspecting every one along the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf Coasts, as well as having had an opportunity of seeing al) of the great armies of the world and many of their fortifications, including the Dar- danelles, 1.am prepared to say that our coasts are as well defended as the coasts of any country, with the same class of high-power guns and heavy projectiles, and I have no sympathy for the misrepresentations that have been made in the attempt to mislead the public.” Later this officer declared : ‘‘These overseas expeditions spring from the minds of men writing “about preparedness who know less about preparedness than anything else.’’ Before a Senate committee January 31, 1916, General Miles declared: ‘The placing of an army on American soil is the last thing any European government would attempt;'it could never be re-embarked. It would dissolve like snow beneath the midday sun. Whenever it has been attempted it has resulted in disaster.’’ We have seen this come true at the Dardanelles. The greatest battle By HENRY FORD The people must stop thinking of the Government as something beyond them. The people are the Government. Every /stockholder in a corporation has the right to know how, where and why the concern’s money is being spent. Every American is a stockholder in his Government. poe | + * _ Our Troops in Mexico . Our’ troops are in Mexico doing police duty, running down ‘a murderer of Americans. For two years they were on the border preparing for just such work. After they had orders to ‘‘get Villa’’ it took a week to get started. That delay tells the real story of our need of ‘‘ preparedness.’’ But it is not the preparedness” of more hordes of armed men. It is the ‘‘preparedness’’ of being able to use efficiently what we already have, the de- yelopment of our industries on a basis of efficiency. This is the best, the only preparation against war. Again, remember, the expedition into Mexico is a police work. But the President himself has discovered a capitalistic plot to bring us into actual war with Mexico. So, impressed with this feeling of a deliberate attempt at trea- son by American capitalists, the President has issued a public statement which includes the following words: ‘“‘It is my duty to warn the people of the United States that there are persons all along the border who are actively engaged in originating and giving as wide currency as they can to rumors of the most sensa- tional and disturbing sort which are wholly unjustified by the facts. The object of this traffic in falsehood is obvious. It is to create intolerable friction between the Government of the United States and the de facto Government of Mexico, for the purpose of bringing about intervention in the interests of certain American owners of Mexican properties. This opject cannot be attained so long as sane and honorable men are in contro! of this Government but very serious eonditions may be created, unneces- sary bloodshed may result, and the relations between the two republics may be very much embarrassed. “‘The people of the United States should know the sinister and un- scrupulous influences that are afeot and should be on their guard against erediting any stery- coming from the border, and those who disseminate the news should make it a matter of patriotism and of conscience to test the source and authenticity of every report they receive from thai quarter.’’ It wouid be well for those who have not taken an active interest in the operations of the Government, who have been careless of the welfare of their own country, who have been too willing to take as fact everything they see in print, to consider this warning of the President. And it would do no harm to the country for every American to apply this same test and look for the ‘sinister inflnences’’ behind the propaganda for hurling the country into war, and for leading us into a wild rush for ‘‘ preparedness.” The Battle Cry of Maxim Hiave you seen that awful moving picture, ‘‘The Battle Crv of Peace?’’ Did you shake with fear, and tremble for your country’s safety’? Did you know that others were shaking at the same time, but with laughter at your fear. and with joy over the fat contracts your fear might bring them” On the sereen you were told that the play was founded on the story of Hudson Maxim, ‘‘Defenseless America.’’ You saw Mr. Maxim in the picture. He was holding something aloft. It was an instrument of warfare. Now, Mr. Maxim was merely advertising his wares and playing on your fears to make a market for his goods. Mr. Maxim has something to sell—-war munitions. The following is from the stock report of Harvey A. Willis & Co., 32 Broad- way, New York City, Nov. 13, 1915: ‘‘The stock of the Maxim Munitions Corporation is the latest can- didate for favor among the Curb war stocks. It made its appearance this week at 12 and was actively traded in at 12 up to 141%. This com- pany is a $10,000,000 concern recently organized for the purpose of manu- facturing munitions of war of all kinds, except explosive materials. The company has arranged to take over the important inventions of Hudson Maxim for the manufacture of aerial torpedoes, bomb-throw- ing devices, aeroplane guns, etc. Mr. Maxim himself will be president of the company.” The book was a fine advance notice. The picture was a fine follow-up. Then came some swift ‘‘patriotic’’ work. ‘ust two weeks later, November 27, 1915, the following appeared on the first page of the New York World: ST. LOUIS, Nov. 26.—Many members have resigned and others are threatening to resign from the Committee of One Hundred appointed by Mayor Kiel to urge the preparedness program upon Congress. This ac- tion resulted from advertisements in St. Louis newspapers this morning of a $10,000,000 Maxim Munitions Corporation offering stock for sale at $10 a share. Hudson Maxim appeared two days ago before the Business Men's League to urge support of the national defense program. That’s a pretty swift beginning,’’ said former Solicitor-General of the United States Frederick W. Lehmann in announcing his refusal to serve on the committee. , ‘‘One cannot help suspecting an ulterior motive,”’ said Judge H. §S. Caulfield in declining to be a committee man. : ‘‘If the activities of the Nationa] Security League. at the instanve of which the committee was appointed, the appearance of Mr. Maxim and the promulgation of the.advertisement can be connected, it. is awa able,’’ said John H. Gundlach, former President of the City Council and member of the committee. : ag Here we have a sample of the ‘‘patriotism’’ that is directing the “ prepar. —~ edness’’ campaign, spending huge sums, carrying its poison of fear into everv j ity and § hay army we cannot hope to have the proper influence with the world in bringing #@ enn ni We read: ‘‘The true militarist believes that pacifism is the masculine and Jas humanitarism is the feminine manifestation of national pe gers e - World empire is the only logical and natural aim of a@ nation. doe Then, on page 28 of the ‘‘Seven Seas’’ for November, 1915, is an enlarge-..» ment upon the ‘‘defense’’ idea, as follows: ‘‘It is the absolute right ofama- = tion to live to its full intensity, to expand, to found colonies, to get richer | a richer by any proper means such as armed conquest, commerce, diplo- macy.’ a : Here we have the philosophy of the Navy League, which thus sustains the ideas of its munition-making founders. Brutal, lawless, avaricious, but ever making the common people pay the bills of life, limb, money and waste. The munition makers fear the ending of the war. They have built vast additions to their factories, not temporary structures, but great buildings that © indicate not only hope but determination that this war shall continue, that other wars shall follow and bring their bloody profits with them. If they can- not foree more war they can at least, they believe, tie up this eountry for huge munition contracts. And they, and their tools, are preaching fear to get those contracts. And this treason, masked as patriotism, has deluded many who have not thought and will not think. There is a proposition now before Congress for the appropriation of $500,000,000 for a great naval building program. This was first pro by Robert M. Thompson, president of the Navy League and chairman of the board of directors of the International Nickel company, a firm that has profited and will profit prohably more than any other concern by the of the naval bill. The proposal was made at a dinner in New York before a group of men who included those ‘‘ patriotic Americans’’ who hold absolute con- trol of the making of war munitions. The propaganda began at once and now ~ continues with great expenditures. It is of no concern to these men that “‘we are threatened from no quarter,’’ as the President says. They want the money. And you, Americans, must pay now in cash from your wages, and later must take up the arms these munition makers will sell you and march off to the ‘‘armed conquest’’ the Navy League’s official journal says is the “‘pro means’’ by which the United States must show its destiny in the world’s history. 7 I earnestly urge those members of the Navy League who have a real feeling of regard for the country’s safety, but have allowed themselves to be tricked into membership in this organization by the ery of ‘‘patroitism,’’ to think calmly, read Congressman Tavenner’s speech on the Navy League, use their reason, and be thinking patriots, not fear-driven tools. Remember the warning words of George Washington, in his farewell address to the American people: ‘‘Cultivate peace and harmony with all nations. . . Overgrown military establishments are, under any form of government, inauspicious to liberty and are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty.”’ A Question of. “Rights” The men who voted against tabling the proposal of Senator Gore and Congressman McLemore to warn Americans off armed belligerent ships have been branded traitors. But these men forgot party lines, forgot their own political safety to con- sider the safety of 100,000,000 Americans who have a right to peace. The President had said that if one American who travels on an armed ship were killed the country might be plunged into war. It was a question of ‘‘stand by the president’’ in support of his dangerous foreign policy, or ‘‘stand by the people.’’ By a parliamentary trick, a vote.was prevented upon the real feelings of Congress as to warning Americans off such ships. Any man with common sense will deny that Americans have a right to use such ships when their president declares they endanger the country by 80 doing. Under such conditions, a ‘‘right’’ becomes a crime. ; Sweden, placing common sense above a ‘‘doubtful legal right,’’ has is- sued a warning to its citizens to keep off armed ships of the warring countries. Norway, in the face of jingo eries, recently voted down a proposition for so-called ‘‘ preparedness.’’ Congressman Decker, rP@Lissouri, summed up the whole matter in his speech on the floor of the House during the discussion of the MeLemore resolution, when he said: “Tf war comes, we will all stand by the President of the United States. But this, thank God, is a representative Government. And I wish it» say to the insinuating gentleman from Alabama ‘Mr. Heflin) the question now is, Will you stand by the American people? You can _ not dodge the question, gentlemen of the Southland and gentlemen of «4 the Northland. The question is, Will you go to war on what Mr. Lansing, — says is a doubtful legal right? I am willing to go to war if necessary. ~~» My people have borne their part. Mvy father and my unele fought to ~~ preserve that flag. But 1 say to you, the private citizens of this country)’ 4 hk, @ the men who pay the taxes, the men who, if there is war, will die in the ; trenches, the men who will breathe the asphyxiating gas, the mothers of the boys whose flesh and blood will be spattered on the fields of battle, want to know before war is declared why they have to go to war.’’ We Americans have three duties before us. We must keep out of this, a + -— =X has brought. That power is the voice, the pen, and greatest of all, the ballo oa £ Armor Plate Patriotism fleet in the world’s history, backed up a magnificent army in that landing. They faced no such great guns as our coast forts have. Yet for a year this army and navy struggled and the soldiers never got beyond range of the naval guns. Then the attempt*was abandoned.

FOR A GOLDEN RULE WORKHOUSE. An alleged falling off in the output of the municipal quarry and the gift of a blackboard made of city materials to a religious society are cited by an aldermanic committee as reasons why F. J. Primavesi should be forced to resign as su- perintendent of the workhouse. Higher tests as to qualifications may be applied. 3 Supervision of a municipal house of correction is in some respects more important than super- vision of a State pentitentiary. For the most part the inmates of a city prison are minor offenders. Misfortunte rather than viciousnes has caused the commitment of a large proportion. Many are first offenders. Here a real need exists for the policies that win success in the reclamation of men. : Is Mr. Primavesi a merely conventional superin- tendent of a penal institution, or is he one of the men of larger vision in this important work? What has been his success in reclaiming men as well as in maintaining stone production? What sort of an atmosphere has been created in the institution? Is the victim of alcohol and of the influences of city slums made to feel] that he is to have after alla chance? Does he emerge with new ambitions and new hopes and a purpose to avoid the pitfalls of the past? The feeling in St. Louis that the workhouse is not fulfilling its true mission may do an in- justice to Mr. Primavesi. But it is a subject too important to permit of doubts. After four years of control the present ‘administration should be able to show results of affirmative, positive; abso- lutely certain value. The Golden Rule policy may perform miracles in eity workhouses when the more hardened ma- terial of the State prisons remains impervious to its influence. And it is not without its miracles in the state prisons. The Mexican appears to be especially vindictive toward unarmed Americans. leaded ce: ii IE OA So iicheninione IS THERE A COFFIN TRUST? A reference to the Coffin Trust was made by one of the candidates for Governor at that amusing Columbia gathering of candidates. This is con- strued as a fling at a rival candidate for Gov- ernor who is engaged in a special line of manu- facture. But it may not have been so intended. If there is a Coffin Trust, most anyone, looking ahead to the great number of prospective political inter- ments this fall, cam see that a special resentment against all affiliated makers of undertakers’ sup- plies is natural. —— + + - Mexico remembers the territory we have ac- quired and forgets our opposition to the attempt to place a foreign sovereign over her. = ™ ee ART HILL BUS LINE REJECTED. The bill for a motor car line to Art Hill in Forest Park was rejected by the Board of Al- dermen. “It is a luxury,” explained President Haller, “and the city cannot afford luxuries be- cause it is in debt.” But on an original investment of $15,000 this item proposed a service that would yield at least a small amount of new income to the city. It was approved by public sentiment as the alternative to a trolley line in the park. It proposed an ex- tension of park facilities for the convenience and pleasure of the people and one that would be self- supporting. Is there any other $10, 000 item in the budget of nearly $11,000,000 that will be as well expended Is there any other providing for an improvement that would require nothing for future mainte- nance? A utility having the practical possibilities of this one in service as well as in income-bringing possibilities on a small scale can hardly be called a luxury. The 16 to 12 adverse vote by the Alder- men is a surprise and ee eet a &.& rr oS MR. LAMBERT’S CLOTHES WERE STOLEN. The fact that the automobile bandits are, ac- cording to the confession of Joe Lewis, wearing clothes involuntarily furnished them by Mr. J. D. Wooster Lambert will not be construed as an evi- dence of Mr. Lambert's complicity in their pecca- dilloes, although Mr. Lambert has some police record himself, when it comes to motoring. i i CASH FOR FLIES. Beginning today, and for four weeks following, dead flies will be paid for at the rate of one-tenth of a cent each, in lots of 100, at any public school building. The fund to pay for the dead pests will come from the Consumers’ League and the Moth- ers’ Club, who are to be congratulated on thus taking the fly by the wing, so to speak, and elim- inating him or her in the interests of St. Louis. The Health Department, too, is co-operating in this good work and will send you a leaflet telling why you should kill flies, whether you care to be paid for it in cash or not. A single female fly, laying eggs at the usual rate of 120 a day, and beginning May 1, may be the pro- genitor of more than 4,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 of her disease bearing kind. Here are exactly 4,000,- 000,000,000,000,000,000 reasons why you should kill every fly you see before May 1. _ i i ~~ = The automobile has decreased railway travel.

Senator Stone, who once declared that the status of American passengers on the Lusitania was the status of persons in a British fortification, is quoted to the effect that he has never had any confidence in the success of the Villa expedition. It was too big an undertaking for us, he says. The only alternative to ordering our troops out is, he says, the abandonment of our noninterven- tion policy. That is not the alternative. We can keep the troops there to accomplish the single purpose they were sent there to accomplish and withdraw them only after they have obtained success. But these words from the Chairman of’the Senate Foreign Relations Committee ought to give great encour- agement to Carranza in devising new difficulties for the expedition. They ought to make him more insistent on the demand for withdrawal. The First Chief says our forces should go home because he is perfectly competent to deal alone with the Villa problem. If he is, why doesn’t he show that he is competent? He has indicated a most effective way of forcing the withdrawal of the expedition if he wants it withdrawn. Let him capture Villa, alone or with such help as we can give him. Within 48 hours after he has captured VYila our regulars will be on the march for the border. + rrv The Aldermen have made art a little longer. aia ea aliiaeabianiih THE CAMEL AND OUR MULE. Experience during the Mesopotamia campaigns indicates that the so-called patient camel is short- tempered, highly sensitive to indispogition and disease, disappointing at critical times and often not on the job when he ought be on it. Even works on natural history about the length of time he can go without water seem to be largely “bunk.” At least it is found that camels brought up in a fairly well watered country apparently lose much of the fortitude with which they are supposed to negative an invitation to take a drink and develop a thirst that has to be satisfied every few hours. Of course, it is not pretended that these reports about him add any new facts to zoology or that the camel is to be set down as only a false alarm. The fact is that he has been in competition with the Missouri mule in these Mesopotamian marches and the Missouri mule has set him altogether too fast a pace. The camel has many virtues, but they are only relative after all. It was inevitable that if they were ever subjected to test in a contrast with our mule, modest but sterling merit would win. The transcendent qualities of that efficiency expert of the animal kingdom, our mule—his perfect dispo- sition, dependability, low overhead charges and small percentages in items carried to depreciation account—gain apprecjation on comparison, while the camel of tradition is shown to be a gaod deal of a one-humped or two-humped fraud. snianachicteateliepanscieshdialaahding ie CLEAN-UP AND PAINT-UP WEEE. By CHARLOTTE RUMBOLD Not democracy, nor even suffrage is going to reduce us to a dull gray levei of officialdom. Traits of a very enjoyable and irrepressible humanness colored the Mayor’s conference on clean up and paint up week. With perfect seriousness the men toak over the business of cleaning up the places that would show during the convention’s sitting and with an instinct sure as the homing pigeon’s the women rallied to the back lots of Carondelet and Baden. Since washing faces began, small boys have touched up the high lights on their countenances, hoping they would pass, and their mothers have unfeelingly gone over the job and attended to the corners. It seems to make no difference that they gather themselves into conferences and commis- sions and leagues. The boys, large and small, with ostentatious virtue, attend to the places that will show. And the women—No, if the city is going to have company the middle of June, it will have to wash behind its ears. Cleanliness is: an obsession with some women. It is one of the extravagances of the poor. Scrub- bing the front steps, Saturday morning, in most parts of the city, sees an endless panorama of bent feminine backs. There are no little girls on the playgrounds on Saturday morning. In some of the older parts of South St. Louis they scrub the front steps and the old-fashioned white stone flags of the gutters and then they paint the red brick sidewalk a higher than brick red. But you can get up a ball team on the playgrounds on Saturday morning, even in South St. Louis. There probably was a feminist movement when Leviticus was written. That cleanup and stay cleaned up bulletin sounds as though the mothers in Israel had taken a hand init. And their daugh- ters on Carr street keep it up. The kosher butch- ering places which the men superintend are cere- monially clean, but the kosher kitchens of the women are generally scientifically clean. There may be 20 centuries’ difference between the two. Cleanliness is, next to godliness, the most ex- pensive of the virtues. In the Jewish quarter, spring cleaning is a large part of the woman’s share in the preparations for the religious festi- val of the Passover. Those good housekeepers dig through strata of rubbish in their cellars and back yards till it seems they must have reached, the accumulations of the mound builders. The drivers of the city rubbish carts will bear testimony to the fact that cleanliness and godliness com- bined make such a cleanup week that, if it spread to the rest of the city, would necessitate a raise in the tax rate. When it comes to cleaning, especially spring cleaning, women get into a sort of holy rage. They have the scorn for: obstacles, the directness of method of crusaders. It is no use to talk to them of cut appropriations and the scandalous indiffer- ence of the State Board of Equalization. They care nothing for political affiliations or offictal oroprieties. And they have a comple those familiar reports in local option counties andj oi: iene, “Re A SALA AIA ALE LELAEAEL LIE STD J “= 7 ee | Se “OR piano * - ’ ‘ ~ " * We eee d's «x ‘ at 7. or a ‘ a * le 4, eee 4" ar “ ; a bs ‘a ohgea res df tat Sa tt “awe eid, a &* al i e THE ENDLESS CHAIN.

Jimmy Callaban, and some of the playing and throwing of) his Pittsburg Pirates, the wildest thing on the premises was Bob Harmon. But they tamed him in the seventh reel. Score, 5—3. Bob, who, while witn the Cards. led the league one season as an exponent of the woolly stuff, began the Borneo brand of pitching in the firat inning ard repeated in the second, starting off each with passes, one of which wa converted into a run. Thereafter he grew steadily wilder— but he didn’t have anything on his man- ager. who looked on until the third man came up in the fateful seventh inning, when he sent Robert to the trenches on a furlough and called out Frank Miller of the reserves. During the six and a fraction innings that Bob was on the hill he had the greatest difficulty in locating the plate, he evidently having left his range-finder in Pittsburg. In the first six rounds he pitched a total of 101 balls to bats- men. Considering that Christy Mathew- son once twirled nine innings deliver- ing in the neighborhood of but 6 balls, it will be noted that Harmon was far from being in his best form.

OOTH TARKINGTON, wihio has recently developed into the bi- ographer of boyhood and youth, continues the excellent work he began in ‘‘Penrod’’ with ‘Seventeen.’ Wil- liam Sylvanus Baxter, the latest hero ¥ the facile ‘Hoosier, is not a youth of 7 but THE youth of li. foestaeeest s a study of Phat pe- riod of a mah's life when ic is just’ passing from achbloom cheek to his first shave: when his bashfulness be- fore those of the opposige sex and his high pitched voice are Masne him; in fact, it is the big period in the develop- ment of the genus homo. Tarkington must have recalled every- thing that. happened to him When he was 17 and credited it to young Baxter. If you are more than 17 you will recognize yourself in William. Baxter 1s true to life and what can be "neps interesting | than a real narrative of a really inter- esting period of life. Tarkington loses none of his quiet humor in the telling of his latest story nor any of the beauty of his diction and phrasing. ‘(hHarpers.) AN IRISH ratky TALR. ‘4 HB. PAIRY BRIDE,” by Nor- jg reys Jepson O'Connor, will bea welcomed by schools and set- tlements, always looking*for little plays which can easlly be given. It is a sim- ple fairy story of the Irish folk. A$ one reads it one feela that the little play comes right out of the heart of the people. None of the artifices and artificlalties which mar such efforts nre observed here, While the story is simply told in the three short acts, an’! while it does not rise to the sort of climaxes known in American drama as “punch,” the reader followa it atten- tively. Children, certainly; will wei- come this little book as supplementary reading. (Lane.)

REDERIC WILLIAM WILE, at i the outbreak of the and for 13 years previous, wag cor- respondent for American and Britis? newspapers from that city. He had his home in a Berlin suburb and might [have written a very different book than “The Assault,” just published, pad net official Germany made a seri- \uus blunder in its treatmesgt of him. ‘The Assault’ is a personal narrative of M# Wile’s experience in Germany before and in England after the out- break. But, perhaps its very pro- nounced animus in favor of the Allies may be found in the chapter in which he tells how the Berlin police 4r- rested him as a supposed British spy. and the mob insulted and beat him and other well-known newspaper cor- respondents, and lastly, Berlin official- dom tried hard to prevent him and hus co-workers from getting out of ‘ts net. One is compelled to believe that. but for this folly, Mr. Wile might have written in @ different vein. His book unqualifiedly lays all the PRINCIPLES = hliame for the war-on the German War party, He charges it with de- ceiving the German people, including the Socialista, with regard to. Britisn diplomacy, and makes a strong case. The first half of the..book,is by far the most interestings The remainiric chapters are in the Main devoted tu snapshots, from the journalist's stamd- point, of the way England took tv the German propaganda in the United States, our course towards the freat events that have vitally cor.- cerned us, British opinion ag to that course, and the probably action of Britain as the war goes on. (Bobbs- Merrill.) = DIET FOR CHILDREN. RS. HOGAN, the author of “Diet Vi for Children,”” has devoted her life to the study of the child's welfare. Her work and her writing have brought her in touch with « mii- lions. She edits the well-known depart- ment of “Mothers and Children”. in Good Housekeeping: her newspaper ar- ticles have been syndicated far and wide. Mothers «cverywhere look to he: for counsel and advice and know her as guide, philosopher and friend. Her field of special interest has been the question of Diet for Children; what to eat and when to eat. - | For the growing child, especiaally in the first few years of its life, rtothiag is so vitally important as proper diet. All who have to do with the feeding of children are necessarily compelled. to give this subject constant thought. Mrs. Hogan comes to the ald of the mother with a list of menus and a profusion of ‘ecipes so Well prepared that they meet with all requirements. Poorly and im- properly nourished cnildren are bac's- ward in mentality as well as in physi- cal development. Proper diet improves the child Mm all ways; improper diet re- tards or neutralizes all other efforts. “Diet for Childreh” is a scientific help. This volume is designed to meet the requirements of the physician who rare- ly has the time to direct the care «i the child’s health. It should also sus- gest to'the mother and nurse just when the physician should be sent for, and when they may themselves aid him in his efforts by the exercise of intelli- gence and judgment in the selection an: preparation of foods indicated for va- rious ages and varying conditions of i)'- ness and conugidhcence.

RANGLE gazed at Mr. Jarr MV in amazement when he heard the latter make the statement that he was an outlaw, a regular bona fide outlaw. “Give us the facts in the case,” said Mr. Rangle, rocking back -on the hind legs of his chair and signaling to Elmer, the bartender, to bring two more. “Well,” said Mr. Jarr, ‘“‘a few days ago my wife tells me that her mother is coming to stay a while and help her with some sewing. And I, like a big boob, fly off the track and say the old dame can’t come to my house, that I’m boss and all that sort of thing, you know.”’ “Yes, I know,” said Mr. Rangle; rave that way myself sometimes.” “That reminds me,”’ said Mr. Jarr. “You know that we are always panning the women for having nerves and get- ting hysterics. I’m getting to think that men have nerves and break out into hysterics, too. Sometimes I can't dis- cuss a matter sensibly. I just have to make a fool of myself about nothing and fly off the handle when there is no occasion for it whatever, and’’—— “Cut out the psychology,”’ said Mr. Rangle coldly. ‘I’ve been there myself. Get down to facts in this case.”’ “Tt was as I started to tell you,” Mr. Jarr resumed. “I said to Mrs. Jarr that her mother, that old battle-axe, shal! not come to my house. And out I walked. Since then I’ve been a wan- derer. Not that I don’t wander back, you know; but it is at a late hour. Of course, Mrs. Jarr pretends to be asleep and she’s sore anyway and don’t speak. T:.en I wake nervously before the house is stirring and slip out and breakfast in a bakery and kill time reading all the morning papers and get down to the of- fice so early that they are suspicious I’m drinking and have been up all night. My careworn appearance bears this out. So, as I said, I'm an outlaw!”’ “You're sure the old lady,s there, though you haven't seen her?’ “I’m sure she’s there,’’ replied Mr. Jarr. “She keeps out of my way, too. I haven't been back to a meal. And so it goes and I am a wretched outcast.” “T’'ve been through it myself,’’ and Mr. Rangle; ‘‘there’s nothing to do but surrender. You go right home and maybe the old lady will be gone, and that will be a victory in a way.” But, like other people who ask adéd- vice, Mr. Jarr did not follow it when he got it. He played pinochle in a most dismal frame of mind and spoiled lis partner’s game and got abused for it, till a late hour. | | Then he started home, only to dis- cover that he had not his keys. He was afraid to ring the bell to his flat. He feared to rouse his good wife and have the combined battery of her scorn and her mother’s turned on him. So he climbed the fire escape. A little amateur burglary work with hig pocket knife and the window fas’- ener slid back and he opened the win- low and stepped inside. He was making his way cautiously in the dark to the dining room when a harsh and querulous voice cried, ‘‘Who's there? Halt or I'll shoot!” Then the lights went up. No, Mr. Jarr was NOT in the wrong flat. There stood his mother-in-law! “This is a nice way to behave, Ed- ward Jarr!” she cried. “I don’t want to interfere, but my daughter telephoned me that you have been staying away from home and acting strangely and asked me to come to see her. I just got here this evening, but I'm going to stay till you come to your senses!
