PERSHING NEEDS BACKING ON LARGE SALE TO 60 ON Army Men Expect Gen. Scott to Recommend Big Military Oper- ations or Withdrawal. CAMPAIGN AT STANDSTILL Field Commander Will Not Push It Until He Gets More Au- thority and Facilities. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., April 20.—Early withdrawal of the troops sent into Mex- Ico or the authorizat’ of military op- erations on a big scaie must be the result of Gen. Hugh L. Scott’s investi- gation of the situation, in the opinion of army officers here. Gen. Funston and his staff have ready to show the chief of staff all the written record of the failure to catch Villa and are prepared to place him in touch with the unwrit- ten evidence Gen. Pershing is not pushing his cam- paign against Villa, and will not until he gets authority and facilities from headquarters to operate more freely. Officers here believe the facts in the case, showing the futility of extending operations along the extsting lines, wil! convince Secretary Baker’s envoy of the hopelessness of further pursuit unless the commanding officer in Mexico is giv- en more effective backing. Dangers of Further Operations. Villa—if he is yet alive—can be caught, officers here believe, but only by the adoption of a plan which it is almost certain Mexicans generally \.ould char- acterize 4s a war. He has penetrated sv far into Mexico and the hostility of Mexicans, both friends o7 Villa and ad- herents of the de facto Government, has become so marked that army officers are convinced further operations muat he undertaken with the expectation that armed opposition by botli facrions will de met. Troop movements ordered by Gen. Funston were being carried out today, but probably none of the °300 additional nren he had plannes to give Pershing will have gone furtner than the base at Columbus by the time Gen. Secort arrives. Gen. Pershing is holding intact his 10,000 men, stretched from Columbus fo polnts almost 4% miles from the bor- er. The mobile cavalry cetachments that have been searching the district beyond Satevo now are in easy com- munication with the main column and will hold their positions for the present. Troops in Destitate Country _ Frightful destitution of the country through which the American troops have been operating south of Casas Grandes was pictured in a long re- port received by Gen. Funston today from Gen. Pershing. The report was written at Satevo Lefore Gen. Persh- ing had learned the details. of the Tight at Parra}, April 12. 't was said at. departmental head- quarters that the report was along the lines of recent reports from Gen. Pershing and, ag in the case of those, Gen. Funston refused to discuss its character ¢xcept in general terms. Gen. Pershing mentioned the hos- tile attitude of the populace at Bach- ineva, displayed when Maj. Howse passed through there with a squad- ron of cavalry. “He said the force was ‘subjected to sniping. For the most part, however he declared. the poverty stricken peon element ex- hjbited nothing bit apathy when ‘the American troops passed through the country and skirted villages where the hungry inhabintants had gathered from the wat-ruined countryside, Gen. Pershing has sent through sev- eral ‘reports in the last 48 hours, but Gen. Funston has made none of them public. eoe>cgndietan o-———— SERIOUS CLASHES FEARED IF U. Ss. CONTINUES HUNT Carranza Authorities Furnish No Co-operation; Sniping Ex- perienced at Some Points. FIELD HEADQUARTERS IN MEX- TCO, April 17 (By Aeroplane to Co- lumbus, N. M., April 20.)—Continued lack of effective military co-opera- tion by the Carranza authorities has been met by the American expedi- tionary columns. At some Places the Americans have received considerable courtesy from the local Carranza of- Ticlals. At other points there has been * little sniping on Americans. Prom- ises of Carranza cO-operation have not materialized, due to lack of or- Banized government in the regions penetrated and to a coldness from some Carranza commanders and some of the local leaders. For a long time American officers did not feel certain which attitude, friendiiness or opposition, the Mex- icans would assume, and therefore unfriendly incidents were minimized through the censorship. Today little hope remains that further progress can be made without serious clashes with Mexicans, including the unruly elements among the outlying Carran- Za commands. The caution of Ameri. can officers against any act which might excite enmity has been one of the great handicaps, although seif- imposed. They have not fired -n Villa bandits at times because they were not sure of their identity. At Parral, Maj.

GERMAN MILLIONAIRE KILLS SELF TO ESCAPE PROSECUTION Sold Grain Sent to Be Made Into Flour to Cattlemen for Fod- der Contrary to Law, BERLIN, via London, April 20.— Heinrich Lange, a@ Hamburg multi- millionatre and a member of one of the more respected families in Ger- many, has killed himself to escape prosecution for selling grain for the feeding %f livestock.

JUDGE DYER RECLAIMS HIS PITCHER OF ICE WATER Declines to Accept New System of Bubble Fountains Installed in Federal Building. Fountains have been installed at the Federal Building by Fountain Rothwell, the custodian, but Judge Dyer still has an ice water pitcher. Yesterday the water, cooled by a refrigerating plant in the basement, was turned on and the coolers were removed from the offices. The Bailiff of Judge Dyer’s court, unwilling to assume the risk of abol- ishing such an institution as the judicial ice pitcher, filled it as usual and placed it on the bench, but not with ice water. Along late in the aft- ernoon the Judge poured. himself a glassful and started to drink it. But ii was warm ang he roared for the Bailiff and demanded to know what]. was the matter with the ice. The Bailiff said there was none. The Judge wanted to know why. The Bailiff said the coolers had been re- moved and no ice had been supplied and the only cold water was at the corridor fountains. “Well, [ can’t leave the bench to go into the corridor for aée_e drink,” thundered the Judge. “‘Get some ice.’’ And he did. The ice will be in the Judge's pitcher hereafter. DANGER AHEAD, NAGEL SAYS Nation Must Be Prepared, St. Louisan Declares in Kansas City. KANSAS CITY, April 2.—Charles Nagel of St. Louis, Secretary of Com- merce and Labor in President Taft's Cabinet, speaking on ‘‘Preparedness’’ at the annual dinner of the Knife and Fork Club, last night, made a strong plea for preparedness. Without making direct reference to the latest submarine crisis, Nagel said: “There was a time when we regarded ourselves as a providential nation, im- mune from all provocation. Now we have come to the conclusion that we are not even immune, Are we to sit by and trust to sweet immunity and indul- gence that has characterized our na- tion, or shall we prepare. There is no use in waiting for danger, because dan- ger is before us and we are threatened from all sides.

PARIS, April 20.—A strong force of mussian troops djsembarked at Mar- seilles at noon toda@y. The Russians are to fight beside the allied soldiers in France. Gen. Joffre welcomed the Russians 1n an order of the day, saying their ar- rival was another proof of the devo- tion of Russia to the common cause. The text of the order issued by Gen. Joffre, follows: “Our faithful armies already are fighting so valor- ously against Germany, Austria and Turkey, wanted to give France further assurance of her friendship; more strik- ing proof of her devotion to the cpm- mon cause, é “Rusisan soldiers chosen from | the bravest in her armies and commahded by officers of the highest renown, have come to fight in our ranks. “You will recélve them like broth- ers.

Two elements necessary to show murder were at hand. One was ‘!¢ corpus delicti—the dead ship’ in the channel. The other was the exist- ence of a motive—the sinister war motive which had caused Germany tu launch her deadly torpedoes against mainy otrer ships. To make the case complete it was necessary to find and esta!lish the ownership of the weapon which had been used. This task fell to ‘“jeut. S'aith of the United 3tates Navy, attached to the American embassy at Paris. Fifteen pieces of metal found by Lieut. Smith 1mnoe2dde'l -in the Sussex" wound compitied the chain of evidence. These were nuts and bolts and fragments of steel, but they told their story well and convineingly. The two bolts, showing the ef- fects of an explosion, were stamped with “‘K” and ‘56”" on one and “K”’ and ‘58’ on the other. Lieut. Smith compared tne fras- ments with the parts and fittings of German torpedoes which had been U. S.

On the heads of screw bolts he found the letter “K” for “Kopf” (head) and numerals. Casing fragments were found to be of the same composition and. cur- vature as the casings of German tor- pedoes. They did not correpond with or fit the casings of mines used by any of the belligerent na- “tions. Among the fragments was rone which by any possibility could have come from a mine. And there was none which could have come from any other engine of destruction except the German torpedo. Some were coated with the distinctive red paint with which the ‘‘war heads’’ of of all German torpedoes are coated. Lieut. Smith's report on ‘his find- ings made the case complete. Offi- cers of the Sussex and passengers on the ship had said they saw the wake of a torpedo, but such testimony might have been disputed. The mute, but eloquent evidence of the 15 pieces of metal picked up by Lieut. Smith was incontrovertible jand final. SOCIETY WOMAN GIVES BALL FOR NEGROES; HOME EGGED YY. M. C. A. Members Start Demon- stration Which Causes Riot Call I welcome the officers, under officers and soldiers of Russia who have de-; barked in France. I bow Lefore the Russian flag, upon which there soon will be inscribed the glorious names of our victories.” The sailing distance from Archan- gel to Marseilles, by the route which Russian transports would have been likely to take, is approximately 50600 miles. Estimating the speed of the transports at 12% knots an hour, the speed of the slower passenger ves- sels, the voyage would require 15 to 16 days. There are at present regular sail- ings of passenger ships from Archan- gel to New York. These sailings take 16 days, and the distance from the Russian port to New York is only a few hundred miles more than to Mar. seilles, assuming that the voyage to Marseilles would be made by running well to the west of the British Isles. The arrival of the Russian troops is regarded here as an event of great im- portance and of significance from both a military and political standpoint. It represents realization of hopes aroused early in the war by reports that large bodies of Russians were coming. The Russians came on a great flotilla of transports. Not a single word of their coming was permitted to becoms generally Known until they had actualiy concluded the journey and were land- ing on French soil. —— Archangel Said to Be Closed to Alf Private Traffic. NEW TORK, April 20.—Word reached New York today. through private cable advices, that Russia has closed the port of Archangel to all except Government traffic. This may indicate that other troop movements from Archangel to the western front are either under way or in contem- plation. French Advance on Right the Meuse.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 2 —-A com- plimentary ball given last night to her negro butler and maid by Mrs. James Hl. Rees, a society leader, and the wife or Capt. James H. Rees, of a wealthy family of Pittsburg, resulted in a police riot call to check started by members of the Young Men's Christian Association, opposite the Rees home. A negro emplove at the Y. M. C. A. was guest at the ball. When he re- turned to his work he told about it. Young: men grabbed him, soused Atif with a barrel of ice water and ran him away from the building. Dozens of eggs were then thrown at the Rees and several negroes were hit. One egg struck Mrs. Rees, according to a police report, and when a police- man asked what the trouble was, Mrs. Rees slapped him in the face, say the police. The eggs spoiled a $00 gown Mrs. Rees wore. Three white women received the ne- groes. Mrs. Rees told the police that the negroes had been employed by the family many years, and she gave the ball as a demonstration of her good feeling toward them.

BEENKEPT, SAID TO BE GERMAN VIEW Unofficial Washington Version of Her Position Says Sub- marine War Must Go On. By Wire From the Washington Bu- teau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 9.—An unoffi- cial version of the German view of the submarine issue is as follows: many to abandon the submarine cam- paign against commerce. A demand that she do so would be almost equiva- lent to a declaration of war. Every- body understands this. The situation is simple. Great Britain and her allies, but especially Great Britain, are maintaining a _ so-called blockade, which is admittedly illegal, at least so far as the United States is concerned. If permitted to carry on this inhu- man measure freely, Great Britain might succeed in seriously gpenaciftg the civil- ian population of the central Powers. Germany has nv other recourse but to the submarine as a weapon of defense against the illegal blockade. This weap- on will continue to be used. Germany has no desire to sacrifice a single noncombatant’s life, but if it becomes necessary to do so in order te prevent war munitions and other sup- plies reaching the enemics which seek to starve her, such loss cannot be helped. Germany hase not violated the assur- ances given the United States with re- gard to warning passenger liners be- fore attacking them and has no inten- tion of violating them. As for a break in relations. there ap- pears to be no ground why one should come at this time. Germany was asked for information regarding the Sussex and has furnished it. Germany also has as!ed for such evi- dence as the State Department may have and has received it in the appendix to the American note. The exchanges have been entirely friendly. HUKREIDE IS LIKELY TO HEAD REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEES Ssuecessor of Jacob L. Babler, National Committeeman, to Be Chosen at Meeting Within Two Weeks. A meeting of the Republican State Committee in St. Louis will be called within the next two weeks, according to Secretary W. G. Kitchin, to receive the resignation of Jacob L. Babler as chatr- man and elect his successor. Babler was elected national committeeman bv the Republican State convention at Fa- celsior Springs. April 6, and has already assumed the duties of that office. W. T. Hukreide of Warrenton, Pro- bate Judge of Warren County. and a member of the Republican State Com- mittee for several years, probably will be elected chairman, without opposi- tion. A canvass of the members of the committee has been made and it shows that nearly all the members favor Judge Hukreide. If he is elected. he will serve until September, when a new chairman w:.! be chosen by the new State Committes. The party nominee for Governor usual- ly is consulted by the committee and the man he designates is elected chairman. 5000 Steel Workers Get Raise. COATESVILLE, Pa.

By Associate| Press. 25 minutes. with grave expectancy to Berlin, President Wilson probably will wait urtil the end of the week for Ger- rany to reply to his virtua] ultimatum, which declares the intention of the United States to sever diplomatic rela- tions unless the Berlin Government “‘im- mediately” squares her submarine policy with the principles of human- ity and international law. No time limit was set in the com- r-unication, but the President is known to hold the opinion that three or four days would be a reasonable period to naitlow to Germany for a decision. If none is forthcoming within a reasonable time tme step accomplishing a break in relations with all its grave possibili- ties, will be taken. Count von Bern- storff, Germany’s Ambassador, would receive his passports and American Am- bussador Gerard at Berlin would be instructed to come home. Early Reply “Impossibic.” After the conference between Secre- tary Lansing and Count von Bernstorff, itt was learned that German diplomats regard the receipt of a reply from Ger- many within two or three days as phys- ically impossible. It was thought a re- ply could not be received here before 10 days. It was pointed out that Laster Monday is a holiday in Germany and that necessary consultations of officlals would cause almost another week to elapse before the German decision could be transmitted here. Ambassador von Bernstorff refused to discuss his conversation with Secretary Lansing, but indicated his call was not prompted by the arrival of instructions from his Government. Regarding the hope held by German officials here for an amicable settlement cne official described the prospect as a “toss-up.” Secretary Lansing explained in detail ta the German Ambassador the position cf the United States and is understood tv» have expressed the sincere hope that the attitude of the German Government would be so adjusted as to meet the po- « tion taken by the United States. ‘hoe Ambassador was understood t, have informed the Secretary of the de- tails of a message he sent yesterday to his Government making certain recem- mendations whicn, he believed, if ac- ceptable to his Government, would be satisfactory to the United States. Confidential Measage From Berlin. In addition the Ambassador in- formed the Secretary of a message of a highly confidential nature he had received from Berlin. After returning to the .embasey, Count von Bernstorff prepared a long dispatch, which probally will be sent to his Government before tonight. The Ambassador was authoritatively represented as having sought’ the tentative proposal that Germany is- sue immediately a declaration cover- ing all submarine operations similar to that issued on Jan. 7 for the oper- ations in the Mediterranean. How the suggestion was received was not divulged. but the general belief is that no step will be considered until some direct response from Bertin has been received by the Secretary of State. Ambassador Bernstorff was under- stood to have been impressed with the necessity of prompt action by rmany. in his message yesterda,, BERLIN, via London, April 20.—The American note to Ger- inany arrived in Berlin late yesterday evening. Ambassador Gerard probably will present it to the Foreign Office early this afternoon. WASHINGTON, April 20.—Count von Bernstorff, the Ger- man Ambassador, went to the State Department today for a con- terence with Secretary Lansing on the submarine warfare and also to discuss th» arrest in New York of Wolfe von Igel, secretary of Capt. von lapen, recalled German military attache. Lansing and the German Ambassador were in conference fully After the Ambassador had departed the Secretary of State would make vo statement regarding the discussion. The United States Government, having expressed finally to Germany its attitude in the submarine controversy, turned today Secretary where rests the decision whether the Imperia! Government shall abandon its present methods of submarine warfare or break with Washington. | Germany’s Assurances for the Safeguarding of * . e Lives in Mediterranean OLLOWING are Germany’s as- ee surances as to submarine warfare in the Mediterran- can, contained in a communication left with the State Department Jan. 7 by Ambassador Bernstorff. which, it is understood, the Ger- man Ambassador has urged his Government to extend to include all submarine operations: “1. German subdmarines in the Mediterranean had, from the begin- ning, orders to.conduct cruiser war- fare against enemy merchant ves- sels only in accordance with gen- eral principles of international! law and In particular measures of re- prisal as applied in the war tone around the British Isles, were to be excluded. 2. German submarines are there- fore permitted to destroy enemy merchant vessels tn the Mediter- ranean—!. @.. passenger as well ag freight ships, as far as they do not try to escape or offer resistance— only after passengers and crews have been accorded safety. "3S. All cases of destruction of enemy merchant ships in the Medi- terranean in which German sub- marines are concerned are made the subject of official investigation and court proceedings. In so far as American interests are concerned, the German Government will com- municate the result to the Ameri- can Government. Thus, also in the Persia case. if the circumstances should call for it. : “4. If commanders of German submarines should not have obeyed the orders given to them, they will be punished, furthermore. the Ger- man Government will make repara- tion for damage caused by death of or injuries to American citizens.” to Berlin the Ambassador urged that something be done immediately. No appointment for another con- ference with Secretary Lansing has been made by the Ambassador. and it is believed he will not call again until the German Government has replied to the American note. While declining to discuss the situation, the Ambassador clearly indicated he con- sidered it hazardous to indulge in speculation. He was with the. See- retary 26 minutes. He neither left nor received any communication. Break Weuld Be Complete.

Before returning any of them to the Geriman Ambassador, or forwarding them ‘¢to Washington for that purpose, District Attorney Marshall has sent to Washn~- ington photographic copies of all of them in order that the German Ambas- sador may determine which are official records of the embassy.

WASHINGTON, April 20.—The At- torney-General’s office is understood to have decided to prosecute Wolfe von lIgel, Capt. von Papen’s former secretary, notwithstanding the Ger- man Ambassador's request that Von Igel be released. Counsellor Polk of the State De- partment advised the Department of Justice Tuesday to free the prisoner, unless the offense was coinmitted be- fore he became a member of the em- bassy staff, and it has been shown that it was. In addition, some offi- cials contend that clerks or secre- taries of embassy attaches, even though formally registered as such, enjoy no immunity. It has been rerorted that the State Igel was indicted, and officials of the of Justice WILL BRING WAR Says Kaiser, If He Makes Any Concession, Will Do So in. Time to Avoid Break. LONDON, April @.—Although the tex. of President Wilson's message to Con- grees did not reach London ifm time for the morning papers to comment fully, all devote considerable space to the Ameri- can situation. The Daily Chronicle says editorially: “It is difficuit to suppose that the Ger- man Government, elated by the sub- marine successes of the last six weeks will accept President Wilson's terms Diplomatic relations between Berlin and Washington will be broken off. The re- sulting situation w'll not be a state orf war, but may easily develop .nto war. “This is obvious to both parties. Mr. Wilson has counted the cost. Presum®- ably the Kaiser has also counted it. if Germany decides that the continuation of submarining worth a diplomatic breach with America, it will probably also decide that it is worth war, too. “If the Kaiser desires to avoid war with America, he would naturaliy make his concessions at a stage when they would also avert the breaking of rela- tions.”’ Note Unexpectedly Sharp. Although recent dispatcues from America had led the British public to expect a sharp note from the United States to Germany in regard to the sub- marine controversy, the language em- ployed by President Wilson in his ad- dress to Congress, came as something of a surprise. Some of the newspapers view that public opinion will compe! the Berlin Government to refuse to comply with the demands of the United States. Others are equally certain Ger- many will abandon indiscriminate sub- marine warfare rather than sever rela- tions with the greatest of neutral Pow- ers. The Westinster Gazette says: ‘President Wilson's message to gress is a serious, high toned docu- ment, which befits the occasion.” Re- ferring to the President's warning, this newspaper adds: ‘Language of this kind between great Powers does not leave open a wide cnoice of courses of action. Germany is ziven the alternative of abandoning its submarine warfare or ceasing to retain the friendliness of the United States. The tone of the message foreshadows in the latter case more than the me- eianical bearch of diplomatic relations."’ No Retreat Now, Paper Says. In concluding its article, the newspa- ner Says: “President Wilson has mapped out for is take the (‘on- Cial cognizance of the true character of German policy and of the insinceri- ties wherewith his former protests have been countered, * * * “That Germany will fulfill the condi- tion specified, there ‘is no reason to ex- pect, but upon the eventual conse- quences of the President's message it would be fruitless to speculate. Amer- ica at least may be congratulated upon having reached the point where she is nd longer compelled to wear the full livery of official neutrality as between man and beast.” The Globe says: “Suspension of diplo- matic relations with Germany would not mean that the United States would necessarily be in a state of war with Germany, but it would mean that a rep- etition of Germany’s crimes might lead to actual retaliation. The differences, then, between that position and actual war would be only fanciful. “As far as the allies are concerned, the United States probably is more use- ful to them under present conditions than they would be if they were openly at. war with Germany. It is evident President Wilson will put up with no more outrages of submarines and that he insists upon full observance of rec- Ognized international law with regard to neutrals.”’ The Globe points out that there are many valuable German ships in Ameri- can ports, and concludes: ‘‘Amerita has a good hand to play.”’ NEW YORK LEGISLATURE VOTES MEASURE FOR PREPAREDNESS awe ee Bill Provides for Physical and Mili- tary Training in Schools— $500,000 for Militia.

LONDON, April %.—As the result of the seizure of German and Austrian subjects aboard the China Mail liner China, last February, while bound from Shanghai for the United States, the Intelligence Department of the British Government c'aims to have uncovered a plot of immense ramifications conducted with the purpose of causing a revolution in India. The American headquarters of the plotters is said to be on the Pacific Coast. At least one ship is known to have sailed from San Francisco with a Cerman crew and Indian con- spirators and arms on board. The headquarters of the plot in the Orient was at Shanghai, and when the gun running and other machi- nations were uncovered, according to the authorities here, the plotters set sail for Manila aboard the steamship China. The leaders of the plot seized on the China are said to have had in their possession false passports, which they destroyed. Among the men taken from the vessel were five Austrian officers as well as a num- ber of Germans from the German ships interned in Shanghai and at other Chinese ports. The British of- ficials say they believe that Franz Bopp, the German Cons:1!-General at San Francisco, and other persons un- der Federal indictment there, par- ticipated in the plot. The Seizure of the party ohn the China did not end the plot, according ,to officials here, who declare that all its ramifica- tions have ot yet been traced. They state that eneugh known, how- ever, to check any possibility of trou- Lle in India. ae a me eee e+ Pershing Needs - Backing on Large Scale to Go On Continued From Page One. had only 114 men, permited only his expert marksmen to return the Car- ranza fire in order to avoid the dan- hitting women and children effectiveness of the Ameri- can resistance was thereby reduced An American army officer was fire upon this evening while passing a small town near this camp in company with a The shooting was with- is and the cispatch bearer. aaa - senmone a — ee a ME | CRETE —— at | ane ’ “ ' us Y lu that vicinity were brought to head- quarters to be questioned.

Ambassador Arredondo specifically d>- nied published reports that he had re- eelved instructions from Carranza to present a new demand for withdrawal! of the troops or to press for an early reply to the note he vresented last week. Funston indicated Pershing Reports from Gen. that the aviators with Gen, were badly in need of new machines.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 2.—Former. Pres- {dent Roosevelt made the following statement last night: “Fourteen months ago the President's strict accountability note to Germany, if it meant anything, meant at least what the present note means. ‘‘Unfortunately, the President’s action in Mexico, and as regards other mat- ters, had been such that Germany did not believe the note meant anything and acted accordingly. “And the President’s repeated notes ‘since then, ‘with speeches such as that about being resolute interspersed as they were ‘too proud to fight,’ did not remove the | impression. “During these 14 months ship after lives of noncombatants, including children, have been lost. “Tf Germany now does as the Presi- dent demands, it will be proof positive that if he had chosen to take the proper position at the time of the original ‘strict secountability’ note, the lives of all those women and children ahd other non- combatants would have been saved, and ‘causes of friction with Germany would have been removed. “If, on the other hand, Germany does not do as requested, it is well to re- |' member that such a note as the ‘strict accountability’ note 14 months ago is unpardonable unless it is backed by the deeds to make the words good. “If it was meant to be taken seriously and to produce results, it should have Leen accompanied by ihorough-going preparation, whereas, as a matter of fact, we are not now strong- er by a man or a rifle or a boat or a sun, and of the small amount of ammu- nition we have manufactured a parr was furnighed to the V:llistas, who used it against our troops, and some has since been furnished to the Carranzis- /tas, who have likewise used it against | our troops. “Every one of these matters I dis- cussed at the time and what I have said is to be found in my book called ‘Fear God and Take Your Own Part.’ “T can only repeat, as I there sald, that whereas courtesy combined with insistence upon one’s rights tends to produce peace, a policy of weak submission to wrong produces a long succession of injuries, which must be submitted to, and then leaves a condi- tion of desperation far more dangerous to peace than if there had been at the outset courageous insistence upon one’s rights.”’ Bonaparte Calls President's Policy With Germany “Childish.” BALTIMORE, Md., April 20.—The foreign policy of the present national administration in regard to the sub- marine and Mexican situations were ridiculed and vigorously attacked by former Attorney-General Charles J. Bonaparte, an ardent advocate of the ma | policies of Theodore Roosevelt, in an ™'address before the members of the local Roosevelt Progressive Clut. President Wilson was not omitted by Bonaparte in the denunciation of the threat to sever diplomatic rela- tions with Germany, an act that was termed “childish.” In the attack on the policy of the administration toward Germany, Bon- aparte was exceedingly sarcastic in his remarks. He termed the sever- ance of diplomatic relations with Germany as an act more sulted to the fairer sex and not for men (emphasis on the “men”), “We want a man to show the for- eigners that there {s a new Amer- ica; a man of action, not a man of words and notes. We want a man that will defend and protect the in- terests of the nation. You want a good, stout, masculine boot with a good, stout, masculine foot tn it, and you want that foot put down hard on the foreign countries, so that it will stay.” Busy Bee Candy Bargain Friday.

The smashing of a celery set at the candy booth of James Paul at Union Market yesterday led to the arrest of two young women later on the charge of shoplifting. The young women, after purchasing candy, asked Paul to wrap with the candy a parcel which they passed over the counter. It contained a celery set. He dropped it and smashed it. He promised to replace it and the women said they would return at 4 o'clock. He went to the store of the Enterprise China and Glass Co., 820 Franklin ave- nue, and was told that the celery set had been stolen. While he was away the women brought another parcel to the booth. It contained sflk shirts, silk hosiery, handkerchiefs and toflet water. The articles were identified as having come from the Famous & Barr Co. When the women returned again at 4 o'clock they had another parcel contain- ing ellk waists, dressing sacques and perfume. A policeman was waiting and they were arrested.

William Lang of 12% Dolman street, a truckman for the Termina! Railroad As- sociation, was arrested at Union Sta- tion at 6 o'clock this morning by postof- fice inspectors who were tracing the theft of packages from the parcels post. Shortly after his arrest, the inspectors said, Lank admitted having stolen from ithe malls since last November packages New Georgette Crepe Dresses at $19.75 A Special Display of $8.75 Trimmed Hats ; + ¥ ie § x, t oan Fe ne S of furs, the value o* which was estimat- ed at $3000 by Postoffice Inspector Reid. The investigation by the Postoffice Inspectors was started after a series of losses of furs consigned to various St. Louis houses had been reported. The principal losers were the IF. ©. Taylor Fur Co., Funsten Brothers, McCullough & Thumback and the I. Abraham Fur Co. The companies reported their losses and, as the furs were sent by in- sured parcel post, the Postoffice Depart- ment°had to pay the losses. The inspectors found that local fur dealers had often bought single pieces of fure from a man who visited their places. These furs were paid for by checks, made out variously to William Lung, William Lunge, William Lone and William Lang. This directed suspicion to Lang and last night inspectors se- cretly watched him. They saw him open mail pouches and examine the contents, but did not see him take any- thing. They arrested him, however, and confronted him with the evidence. He will be taken before the Federal grand jury. ——— _— - Basy Bee Bakery Special This Wee. Caramel Roll Coffee Cake, 20c Each. £12,000,000 Oil Lauds at Auction.

Out of 150 papers, from all sections of the country, not more than 10 question the necessity or the wisdom of the President's course. The prevailing view expressed ty these papers is that the situation is “up to Germany,” that the President has been forced, by Germany’s acts, to take such action which, in the opinion of many of the papers, should have been taken much sooner. “If wisdom and prudence have not altogether fled from the minds of Germany’s ruling statesmen,” says the New York Times, “Germany may yet meet the President's demands.” “There can be no war,” says the New York World, “unless Germany com- mits an overt act of war.” The Philadelphia Public Ledger de- clares that ‘The consequences of per- sisting in savagery lie with Germany, not with us.’”’ Wilson, “The Patient Man.” Characterizing President Wilson as “the patient man,” the Baltimore Sun Says: “Only two types of men coult follow the course he has adopted. The first is the weak, Opinionless, inverte- brate fellow. The second fg the man of exceptionai trength and determina- tion. If Germany has suspected the President of the United State to be of the former class, she will quickly be made to realize her mistake."’ Unusual $2.75 and $3.50 Waists $1.95 to $3.95 Dresses | . | in combination lace and em- 19 { and batiste, in beautiful 1: short sleeves; 36 to 44 sizes.....

These Hats Will Be Displayed in One Whole Side of Our Window ! this country be turned into a collection agency for J. Pierpont Morgan’ The Cincinnati Freie Presse says President Wilson's “‘change from his previous note’ is because ‘‘Wall street wants war.” The New York Staats Zeitung says: “It Is inconceivable that the Geriman fsovernment will give heeca to this man- date so long as the reasuns fur the German U-boat policy--the illegal block- ade by Fngland of Germany, the viola- tion of all sea rights—continue in ex- istence. The President’s request means neither more nor léss than the pro- tection of Great Britain’s sea policy. Can Germany acquiesce in such a pol- icy? We ask it in all fairness, and ¢ach can answer for himse!l?.’’ Assails Big Interests. “Certain big interests,’’ said the New York German Herold, ‘have prepared the ground for such a step ever since August, 1914. The last hope rests with Congress,’ says the Denver Herold. The St. Louis Westliche Post urges that all means be used to avert war, “even at this eleventh hour,’’ balances offenses of the Allies against the acts of Germany, and savs that the admin- istration is accused by Americans, not of German blood, of being ‘‘one-sided in itz defense of American rights.’’ The Amerika, published in St. Louis, says: ‘Certainly it should cause our American blood to boil, to know that our great country is being used as a tail to the kite of England.’’ Among papers printed in the English language, a number declare that the President’s action should have been tak- en sooner, some holding that it should have followed the sinking of the Lusi- tania, or should have come when Ger- many showed that it did not intend to make prompt and full reparation in the Lusitania case. The Philadelphia In- quirer says: ‘‘We should have made the issue immediately after the sinking of the Lusitania.’’ The New York Tribune says last August was the proper time. The Minneapolis Tribune says: ‘‘The only fault to be found with this ‘last word’ is that it was not spoken sooner." The Detro'* Free Press says the Presi- dent’s words bring a feeling of relief, which is combined with regret that al- most a year has been lost, which should hav ‘een used in preparation. The Seattie Post-Intelligencer says the President's ‘long-delayed firm stand is a great relief to the people of this coun- try.’ The Indianapolis News says: ‘The country wants no more assurances. pledges. promises of reparation, expla- nations, to be followed by other out- rages.’ ‘‘‘God and our right’ is our slogan,”’ the Los Angeles Times de- clares. The Louisville Courier-Journal declares, ‘“‘Double-dealing can go no far- then We have come to a parting of the ways.” “Americans Breathe Wesier.” “Loyal Americans breathe easien and hold their heads higher, now that the diplomatic bridges of notes, notes and mors notes, words, words, words, have been burned.” says the San s- tonio Express. ‘The President is at last wetting down to business,’ says the Fresno (Cal.) Herald. Among the comparatively few pa- Continued on Next Page. iL.

STORMS RECORDED FIVE Most Severe Was One That Started Northeast of Fort Scott, Kan. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 30.—Re- ports received up to noon today from the tornado swept sections of Mis- souri and Kansas indicated the death list in the storms that prevailed late yesterday afternoon and last night would reach 20. More than 100 per- sons were injured. Property damage probably will amount to more than $750,000. Stover, Morgan County, Mo., still was cut off from communication to- day, and it was impossible to con- firm reports that six persons were killed. The death list was added to be reports from Uniontown, Bourbon County, Kan., which said four per- sons had been killed there. Olean, O., reported the death of John Far- ris and wife, who lost their lives when a tornado wrecked their home four miles from Olean snortly be- fore midnight. The storm swept through the northern part of Miller County, destroying a score of resi- dences. Property Damage 500,000. Rich Hill estimated the property damage in north Vernon and south Bates Counties at $500,000. Two deaths and the injury of 30 persons were reported from Arthur, mo., six miles south of Rich Hill. Be- cause of poor wire communication details were not available. Of the five separate tornadoes that struck throughout Kansas yesterday after- noon, the most severe was northeast of Fort Scott, Ka- and in Bourbon County. The wind swept a path four miles long and a quarter of a mile wide near Fort Scott, razing all buildings in its path and cutting the city off with the outside world for a time. The little town of Berlin, in Bour- bon County, which recently peti- tioned officials at Topeka to change iis name, was badly damaged. Several Rainstorms. All of the rain storms pvroke during the daylight. The State had been swept by a high wind for two days and the cluods, which appeared early in the aft- ernoon, were unusually black. People generally were watching them because of the ‘“‘tornad® season,’ which opens early in April in the State. Nearly every one had ample warnning and was able to get outside the paths of the tornadoes or into storm cellars. A peculiarity of the tornadoes was that there was scarcely a drop of rain ahead of them, while following directly in the path of the storms there was a heavy downpour and some hail. A special train was sent Eidon, Mo., to the relief of stricken populace of Stover. Among other damage the railway depot is said to have been blown across the track, blocking traffic. The tornado passed six miles south of Rich Hill, Mo., near Arthur, where Ruth Fairbanks was killed and her parents and two others in the family were seriously injured. The family was trying to reach a cave. The home was destroyed. Amelia Olive’s home also was destroyed and she and her son, Alfred, were seriously injured. Houses were unroofed and trees twisted up by the roots. from the Several Persons Injured by Storm at Eldon, Mo. ELDON. Mo., April 20.—Last night's tornado was first noticed here about three miles west of the town. It is es- timated that the path of the storm in this vicinity was about 10 miles wide. Telegraphic*and telephone communica- tlons were cut off and a list of cas- ualties was slow in coming in. Cleve Taylor, who lives three miles west of Eldon, lost his home and most of his family of six were injured. At Olean, Mo., part of the village was entirely swept away. The injured included Mr. and Mrs. Johns, Mrs. Lessel and her little daughter, family of the Missour!l Pacific Railway agent at Olean, anr! members of a family named Kauff- mans. Besides those who were seriously in- jured, there were a score or more slightly hurt by flying debris. ———_— - - NOTS TO ORA LEWIS FOUND STUCK IN SIGN ON WINDOW John H. Fielding or 5953 Page boule- vard was walking upon Hodiamont ave- nue last evening, when he saw a piece of paper stuck behind an enamel let- ter which had become loosened and which formed a portion of the window sign of Lammer’s drug store, 1500 Ho- diamont avenue. He pulled out the pa- per and found it to be a note addressed to Ora Lewis and signed “Jim Ger- mon.’ The note read: “Dear Ora—Meet me at Ferguson at 12 midnight on the 19th. Will then take a box car to backwoods. get away from this locality.” The note was turned over to Chief of Detectives Allender Although the Chief believed the note to be @ hoax, he sent detectives, as a matter of form, to search the railroad yards at Fergu- son.

Why? Because it is the investing »ublic who suffer— not merely the capitalists, but the people of moderate means, the saving persons who put by something for a rainy day. We can remember when the five per cent pre- ferred stock of the United Railways, selling around 85, was regarded as particularly invit- ing to small investors, and there must have been many such. I know of an instance where a wid- ow had $4000 so invested. It was her all. Her son was e stenographer in my office. The stock had been purchased at about the figure above After the stock had sffered a se- vere decline, by reason of the mill tax litigation, the son asl-ed my advice. Disclaiming any par- ticular knowledge on the subject, because I have never owned a share of this stoek, I advised him to tell his mother to hold on to ler stock and not to sacrifice it at the prevailing quotations. She did 80. Later followed the pasring of the dividend, when the stock broke violently to about 40. She was still holding the stock. Whether she is holding it now, with the stock at 18, [ do not know, as the mother and son left St. Louis several years ago. Don’t yeu think that the exultation of victory should be tempered a little by th consideration of cases of this kind? I do. To thc small investors in the preferred stock of the United Railways the loss of nearly all they have is a t~ gedy, and this is no figure of speech. The city cannot smite this class of people without suffering just retribution in many ways. Are we not alrealy feeling soinething of the effects of the fanaticism which has so long pursued the United Railways and other large corporations upon whose pros- perity that of the city depends?- For example, is there not some possible connection between this municipal policy and the glaring signs in every block “For Sale.” “For lLeasc,” “For Rent” as we ride along Olive street? “Though the mills of gods grind slowly, they grind exceeding small.” E. G. MERRIAM. afford another Street Traffic Suggestions. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Have two suggestions to make about traffic on the city streets. On those streets where the sidewalks are wide, allow the automobiles to run two wheels on the sidewalk, about three feet in from the curb, making places in the curbs where they can get up and down easily. This won't arm anyone, and will leave the middle of the street clear. Another thing, limit the size of wagons to some- thing like six feet wide; some of these wagons need the whole atreet to get through, and as we would not atand for any new automobile eight or 10 feet wide taking up the whole street, why should a wagon have this privilege. W. c J. Dogger Bank and Sussex Cases. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch Commenting editorially in Tuesday's issue on my article in the Post-Dispatch on Monday com- case with the Dogger Bank affairs, you reject the idea of resorting to an in- ternational inquiry in the former case on the ground of the cumulative character of our in- juries at the hands of Germany. You say that “the Dogger Bank incident was the only one dur- ing the Russo-Japanese war in which neutr@l rights were seriously affected at sea.” As a matter of fact, Russia was quite as much o1 the rampage at sea then as Germany is to- day, though not so reckless of non-combatant life. The Russian fleet, on leaving the Baltic, exhibited continuous disregard for neutrals up to the elimi- nation of its career in the Korean straits. It fired upon the Swedish steamer Aldebaran and other vessels in the Skagerrak; it attacked the . @erman fishing vessel Sonntag and the Norwegian : pfehing fleet. fteamer Staatol before it opened up on the Hull It destroyed and made illegal cap- tures of neutral vessels in the Red Sea and else- where as it moved eastward until neutral Europe was thoroughly exasperated. It must be said to her credit, however, that Russte did not wantonly endanger non-com- batant® except in the Skagerrak and North Sea, though the inquiry developed that Rojestvensky had beer given the reckless instructions “to fire upon all ebips approaching too close or otherwise arousing stt¢picion.” When the settlement of the Dogger Bank affair was undertaken by an international commission | of inquiry the British public did not consider this as a lone ground of complaint against Russia, STERLING §. EDMUNDS. i 0 t, on the other hand, it was conscious of many GERMANY MUST DECIDE. President Wilson’s ultimatum to Germany is not more significant than his arraignment of the German Government for the series of acts which bave forced this final warning. The statement of the case, from the standpoint of the United States and of other neutral nations who have suffered on account of Germany’s sub- marine warfare, is deadly. It is a convincing in- dictment of the German Government for crimes on the sea in violation of international law, neu- tral rights and the accepted rules of humanity in warfare, and for broken pledges to a friendly na- tion. The question of war or peace rests upon the The President does not He has sought By every diplomatic German Government. séek war. means in his power to avoid it.

Can Germany accept and stand this terrible in- dictment from a friendly nation?

In this crisis it is a contemptible phase of partisan poli- tics which Americans will severely rebuke in time. German statesmen will make a greater mistake if they think the patience and forbearance of the President and the people have been due to fear. We have been restrained, as the President said, by “a thoughtful consideration of the extraordi- nary. circumstances of this unprecedented war” and “sentiments of genuine friendship,” by hope- fulness of a satisfactory conclusion of diplomatic negotiations. We have _ trusted pledges. The failure of the German Government to re- alize the situation and to meet the just demands of this country will cause profound regret on the part of Americans; but it will be the signal for unity and vigor of ,action in defense of national honor, national rights and national sovereignty. —---—-——- — @--—--— ANOTHER SCRAP OF PAPER? The McKinley System offers to abolish a 19- cent bridge arbitrary on freight if it is permitted to increase Granite City passenger fares to 10 cents in violation of its contract. But how can we know that it will stick by its offer if the city con- sents? Its original agreement negatived bridge arbitraries of all descriptions. In the McKinley System lexicon, contracts, pledges. agreements are defined as only scraps of paper. "SMATTER POP? After five years of infinite painstaking Prof. Furness has taught his pet ourang-outang to call him “Papa.” It strikes us as a doubtful compli- ment, but the proud Professor—with pardonable paternal pride, shall we say?—reports it to the American Philosophical Society as a triumph of anthropoidal orthoepy and almost human intelli- gence. Science will congratulate him on his great labor of love, and sympathize with regret that ‘‘Mimi” (such is the orang-outang’s name) has not been able to learn more. The Professor is forced to the sad conclusion that anthropoids cannot be taught a connected language, or taught to reason progressively. Their conversational gifts are lim- ited. For our part we are glad of it. If “Mimi” could talk glibly she would probably gossip and lie and backbite and be a jibbering scandalmonger. If the male anthropoids were dowered with fluency they would probably be blatherskite politicians, or jackleg lawyers, or auctioneers of “phony” goods, or ‘‘spielers’’ for nostrums, or sawdust trail exhorters and hippodrome evangelists, or candi- dates for Governor, or something else. Because it is morality rather than loquacity that counts, and the ape is lacking in that funda- mental integrity of charadter which is a sine qua non. There is enough loose talk, there are enough loose morals, without dragging the ourang-outang and the chimpanzee back into human society. We are taught that we should not be ashamed of our ancestors, so long as we ourselves are good, honest men. On the other hand, there is some- thing to be said for an honest desire to get as far away as possible from ancestors whose char- acter, habits and reputations were nothing to brag on. Creditable to us descendants are the senti- ments expressed by the poet of the Darwinian school: Children, behold the chimpanzee; He sits on the ancestral tree From which we sprung. I'm glad we sprang-- Germany’s|{ Had we hung on We might, for all that I can say, Be horrid chimpanzees today. That we are no longer even on speaking terms with the old folks is the highest tribute to the human tYace; and the reluctance of Prof. Fur- ness’ simian to acknowledge kinship indicates that they feel the same way about it. By the way, we wonder how long it would take an old baboon to teach Prof. Furness to call him “Grandpa.” THE MILL TAX SALARY GRAB. [ believe the collection of the mill tax should be followed immediately by a compre- hensive readjustment of wages paid employes of the city—Mayor Kiel’s annual message. Among purposes to which it is suggested that the mill tax windfall shall be put, is any more foolish? If an increase in the salary list is not warranted by current city income, why provide for it out of this special fund? The accumula- tion should be devoted to some need of particular urgency, some project of unquestionable utility that will serve as a memorial of the 13 years of labor and sacrifice devoted to the vindication of a principle in taxation. It ought not io be | . me a> - - ‘pws of Te Lah ee -. 2a. ed 5] . dissipated in merely routine or actually frivolous | expenditure.

ROACH TO THE COUNTRY PRESS. “Con” Roach, Secretary of State and Democratic candidate for Governor, is reported to be sending out letters to the Missouri country press in which this remarkable appeal is made: I have made a record that is a political asset to the party and the country papers have kept the people thoroughly informed. With your continued active assistance, we shall win a great victory Aug. 1, to be fol- lowed bv another in November. Keep the good work going and the deserving country editors of Missouri will enjoy a 'targer share in the administration of the affairs of the State than has ever before been theirs. What is Mr. Roach’s conception of the unpur- chasable type of Missouri country newspaper man? ‘So far as this promise means anything at all, it seems to mean a larger participation in the administration of State affairs as understood by Mr. Roach in the past—administration of, by and for the machine, patronage and candidacies for new offices. What is the country editor's idea of its meaning? Unless multitudinous signs of popular disgust at the performances of the Jefferson City gang are misleading, Mr. Roach is grossly deceived about Lis political strength and the extent to which his “record is a party asset.” The record which he had a part in making as a.member of the present office-holding outfit at the Statehouse is so far from being a party asset as to form one of the imposed on the Democratic | heaviest liabilities party of Missouri in many years.

ANTWINE ON CREDIBILITY OF 6 6 T is astonishing how little one hears about the | times,’’ Mr. Antwine said. ‘‘One would sup- pose that with steel workers, cotton mill op- eratives, wool workers, locomotive makers and brew- ery employes getting voluntary increases in wages at a dozen points within the last two weeks, we would hear a good deal about prosperity having hit us where we like to be hit. Upon the contrary, we hear almost nothing about it. Incidents sufficient to determine a presidential election pass with no more than a short press dispatch. I began noticing these some time ago. Finally I started to cut them out. I have here dispatches from Youngstown, O., Pittsburg, Pa., Biddeford, Me., Pittsfield, Mass., and St. Louis. They all indicate an industrial revival beyond anything we have known. The Republicans assure us that there is no prosperity beyond the business created here by the war, but that is absurd. We are doing a very flourishing business in everything that buys and sells. Of course, we are not quite as busy as the Republic- ans are explaining why we are busy at all, but I don’t hear anyone asking anything better. Train- men would like shorter hours, but beyond that labor is so busy keeping up with the demand for men that it hasn’t time to chirp. ‘‘You will probably say we don’t hear any more than we do about the times because the war over- shadows everything else. Nonsense. If times were bad the Republicans would be charging the Democrats with resorting to war to cover up. The explanation of the situation® as I understand it, is that prosper- ity under Democratic rule is not credible. We know it is here, but we can’t believe it. Why? Simply because the Republicans drilled that notion into our heads through such a long period of power that we can't get it out. It is one of our popular tradition®#. The tariff has nothing to do with prosperity in this country, but the Republicans made us believe it had. We still believe it in our hearts, though sometimes throwing the Republicans out. The war ought to be a tremendous blessing to us. It ought to give the Democrats time to establish the fallacy of the high tariff. I cannot imagine how else they would have gotten that chance. It is not something to be proven in a day, or even in two years. However, I imagine that when the war is over we will have had time to see the thing quite clearly, and after that the tariff certainly will not be a political issue.’’ Squire Simpson drove up. ‘*Does anybody know where I can get a good hired man for two or three hundred dollars a month?’’ he asked. Everybody on the porch laughed. ‘*‘Pay something!’’ Mr. Antwine said. ‘‘You can’t hire a watchdog for that in these piping times.’’ PERSONAL—If Republican Leader Mann will put his ear to the ground, he will hear something he ought ee - ee a * | to know, aren | _ Written for ihe POST-DISPATCH by Clark McAdams THE NEWS FROM SCISSORSVILLE., “cissorsville Texas.—Well we plaid a gaim with the Bar \ feilers Sunday, Score was 77 to 44 In our favor, Purty good Huh—Say that pitcher we got from Jeff, County Ills. is a hummer—By Gee he cume mity neer atrikin a feller out in the first gaim.

K.—President McKinley (Span- ish War President) said: “The hil- ippines are ours, not to exploit, but to develop, to civilize, to educate. to train in the science of self-govern- ment. This is the path of duty which we must follow or be recreant to @ mighty trust committed to us.” Upon another occasion he said: “We ac- cepted the Phillfppines from high duty in the interest of their inhabit. ants and for humanity and civiliza- tion. Our sacrifices were with this high motive. We want to improve the condition of the itnhabitants. secur- ing them peace, liberty and the pur- suit of their highest good.” Presi- dent Taft, while Civil Governor of the Philippine Islands, on Dee 17, 1903, sai “From the beginning to the end of the state papers which were circulated in these islands as authoritative expressions of the Ex- ecutive, the motto that ‘the Philip- pines are for the Filipinos’ and that the Government of the United States is here for the purpose of preserving the ‘Philippines for the Filipinos for their benefit, for their elevation for their civilization, again and again and again appear.” And upon the Same occasion, and in response to a particularly vicious newspaper at- tack which was then being made upon him by the American papers published in the islands, he satd: “Some of our young lions of the lo- cal press have spoken of the ‘child- ish slogan’: “The Philippines for the Filipinos.’ It is unnecessary to com- ment on the adjective used, but it {s sufficient to say that, whether child- ish or not, the principle makes wv the web and the woof of the poles of the United States with respect to these islands, as has heen authori- tatively declared by two Presidents-~ for President Roosevelt has followa4? sedulously the policy of Prestent MecKinley—and by the interpretation of the supreme popular will. the Con- <ress of the United States.”’ (See Public Library).

By H. M. Egbert. bé 'D like to see you in the library, | old man,” said Munson, the host, to his guest, Fremantle. Alfred Fremantle looked rather vague- ly at Munson. The financier’s voice was n little unreal; the man was flushed, not with wine so much as with good living. Munson had the best cook in Maitland, and gave-the best dinners. The house party was such as Munson loved to give. A round half-dozen of financial magnates had sat at his table. At their head Edith Munson had watched over the affairs of the table. She was a beautiful woman at 35, and much admired. Fremantle was the only ronfinancial guest present. He was rich in his own right, and a famous traveler. He was an old friend of Edith’s, too. . before -her marriage there had been some talk about them. Fremantle had often wondered whether Munson knew. Munson paused irritably in the pas- gage. Voices came from the Dilliard room. “All show, old man,’’ one of his guests was saying. ‘‘Just to keep up the pre- tense of affection between them. Every- body knows how he’s neglected her." “T wonder whether she knows about that dancer.”’ “She'll know soon,” answered the ott.- er. “Do you mean to say she’s going to gue?’ “So they say. Of course, there's an- other reason.”’ ‘*Fremantle?’’ “He’s been her shadow while Jim Munson was away.”’ The Chatlenge. JNSON overheard the whole con- Mi versation, and his projected talk with Fremartle, which had beer. enly vague in his mind, suddenly as. sumed the aspect of the irrevocable He must end all this. He had certainly neglected Edith. But how was it known’ And did they krow that it was because of his suspicions of her, his assurance that her love had tailed him? And that dancer, Lois Ferraud! He shrugged his shoulders contemptuously. He had met her just twice, xt bachelor parties, and the smooth-faced, vapid little chit had affected him no more than a floating feather. He must end all this! A wave of blood surged into his heavy face. “I’m ready, Munson!”’ Fremantle, immaculate in nis evening clothes, was standing in front of him. Munson felt taken at a disadvantage. H- frowned, then said blandly: “Come into the library. I won't keep ycu long, Fremantle.” . Jt was not until he s‘ood facing tho other man beside the big fireplace tha- he knew Fre:nantle had sensed the pur- pose of the invitation. Munson stood with his back to the door; Fremantle watched him with a dawning sneer uton his lips. ““‘Now!" said Munson briskly, have you to say for yourself?’ “Is—anything necessary, Munson?” asked the other. “You came here a* my guest’’—— pe- gar Munson bitterly. Then he checked himself. ‘“‘No. Nothing is necessary,” he answered. “But you did not know the type of ~-1n you were dealing with. You have made Mrs. Munson’s name common gossip.’’ “That's a lie, Munson. It is your- self,” answered Freemantle furiously. “Let me pass." “You are not going to pass,” said Munson. “At least, one of us is not going to leave this room.” “Heroics, eh?’ “As you will. Will you fight like a Sentleman, or like a tough?” “Oh, like a gentleman, of course.” said Fremantle. ‘what The Silenced Pistols. KE did not stir from his position H as Munson, going to the wall, flung open ae cabinet and brought out two pistols. Each had a curious arrangement fixed to the muzzle. Fremantle looked at them curiously, “You mean it, Munson? May I ask what purpose these contrivancas serve? To catch the bullet”’ “Silencers,” said Munson briefly. He threw open the French windows. “The winner steps out upon the lawn and gets away. You will have no dif- ficulty. “Tf have arranged my affairs. There fe a train in 20 minutes. One snot upliece, at a yard’s distance, in a dark- ened room.”’ “You seem to have thought it all out,” enid Fremantle, sneering still. ‘‘But be- fore you begin, you may as. well Anow''—— “Are you ready?’ demanded Munson. He saw his enemy's face whiten. He was surprised at his own resolution. Fremantle let the muzzle of his weapon drop irresolutely, but Munson held nis own covering the other. “I shall switch off the light.” he con- tinued. ‘‘We will wait until the clock begins to chime the hour. Then we wil! fire together.”’ “You may as well listen to reason,’’ Suggested I*remanile. Munson’s hand went out and snapped the switch. The room was in complete darkness. The two men faced each other, but each could see nothing. Neith- ¢r could hear the other breathe. Mun- fon wondered if his pistol still covered his enemy. There was a minute still, and out of the darkness came the voice of Fre- mantle. “You may as weli listen, Munson.” he said. “It won't prevent your shvot- ing. Mrs. Munson knew that you had ceased to care for her. She did al) in her power to win your love. At last I uiscovered what the trouble was. You Know we were like brother and sister in % . the old days.” Munson set his teeth and strained h:s @ara for the chime, His pistol did noi the scheme, Munson, er that you were not a bad sort ¥ | of man, that if you realized what you might lose you wuld feel differently. I designed to make vou jealous; but |! did not mean anyone else .v see. That's all.” “You lying hound!” snarled Munson And at that instant he heard «he quaver of the clock as it prepared to chime, and pressed the irigger A Single Retort. HERE came tv echo to the muffled 7 thud of the discharge. ror a fear- ful instart he hesitated. Had he Killed Fremantle? Me strained his ears, but could hear othing save the cloch striking. “Have you fired”’’ he demanded as the chimes subsided. There was no response. Nervously he stretched out his hand and switched on the light. Fremantle stood quite still, watching him, his pistol drooping im his hand. “Tf that’s all, Munson’’—— he began. Munson dashed his pistol down and burst into tears from the reaction. ‘You've had -*our triumph, curse you!” he whimpered. ‘‘My life’s yours. Why didn’t you shoot? Why didn’t you? I’m going’’— He stepped ou: through the windows. He was going away. Fremantle had won; he had refused to shoot when he could have killed him. Doubtless he meant to make the most of his tri- umph, and life meant more to him un- der the circumstances than it would be if he were a murderer :.nd a fugitive. At the edge of the lawn Munson hesi- tated and looked back. Fremantle was still in the library. He stood beneath the light of the electric bulb. He had Wrapped a handkerchief about his hand and laid the pistol away. As Munson watched him he saw the door open and his wife appear upon the thresh- old. Munson had never spied upon his wife, but at the sight of her a madness rose in his brain. Fremantle would tell her of his triumph. A love scene was imminent. Why should he not kill them both? He acted upon the thought. He crept toward the window again, halting in the shadow of a tall cypress outside. ) CAN'T FIND ANY DANDRUFF Every bit of dandruff disappears after one or two applications of Danderine rubbed well into the scalp with the finger tips. Get a 25-cent bottle of Danderine at any drug store and save your hair. After a few applications you can’t find a particle of dandruff or any falling hair, and the scalp will never itch. LOOK AT CHILD'S TONGUE WHEN SICK PROG OR FEVERISH Hurry, mother! Remove poisons from little stomach, liver, bowels. Give ‘‘California Syrup of Figs’’ at once if bilious or constipated. Look at the tongue, mother! if coated, it is a sure sign that your little one’s stomach, liver and bowels need a gentle, thorough cleansing at once.

To be sure you get the genuine, ask to see tiat it is made by “Californiac Fig Syrup Company.” Refuse auy other kind ‘vin contempt.—ADV As he did so he saw the pistol that I'remantle had laid down. It lay hid- den from his wife's view, but plain in Munson's sight, behind a pile of books upon the library table. And Munson re- membered that it had not been dis- charged. IS hand went out toward it, but Better Understanding. was arrested by his wife's words, ‘““Wisere’s Jim?’ she asked. “I think he has stepped outside,” said Fremantle, unconcernedly. Edith Munson hesitated, looked at Fremantle. Then she put ner hands to her face and began to sob softly. “IT can’t bear it any longer,’ she said, “Harry, it has failed. He doesn’t care for me. You ean’t win ‘ove by “ny such trick as that. He is tired of me, Harry.”’ “No,”” said Fremantle, bravely. “Jt was a misunderstanding on botn sides.” She looked up quickly. ‘You have been talking with him!” she cried. “How : do you know that? How do you know?’ Fremantle stood before her. he said, ‘‘tell me one thing: love your husband?” “With all my heart and soul,” answered. The fingers of the man outside, which were groping for the pistol, fell us if palsied to his side. He shrank back from the window as Fremantle cama out. Fremantle *tturned, and their eyus met. ‘“Harry!’’ Jim Munson began. “Go to her,” said Fremantle, that he had overheard. “Harry, I wronged you. Will you for- give? A man doesn’t often have sich a friend, and to wrong him’’-— Their hands met. “Go to her,” l*re- mantle answered, and strole swiftly across the lawn in the direction of the railroad station.
