Smith, engineer in the Public Utili- ties Department. assisting Attorney Daues, when the evidence regarding the discrepancy of $1,500,000 was brought out. Smith asked the auditor if he could ex- plain how it happens that General Su- perintendent Bell of the traction com- pany had testified Saturday that a care- ful appraisal of the bridge, land and terminal showed a valuation of §$6,350,- 000, while $7,935,000 in securities are charged against the property. “There seems to be about }31,000,J00 that is not accounted for,” said Smith “Can you tell us where it went?” The auditor replied that he did not. know that he was competent to answer that question. He said that his under- standing was that the money had been used largely for expenses in East St. Touis.

This would leave the valuation of the bridge at about $1,500,000. while the company is claiming a valuation «° $4,000,000 upon the bridge alone before the commission, as the basis on whicn tu raise the fares. “There seem to be some bi« discrep- | ancies in the figures presented by the company in an effort to show a los; upon suburban traffic,” said Dauer, “and I shall insist at getting to the bottom of the matter. Smith caused a stir this morning by a direct inquiry as to how much water there is in the traction company stock.

Notice was given in advance by the Rev. Robert Morris, pastor of St. John’s M. E. Church at Edwardsville, that the Humble penny and the unobtrusive nick- el *would be unwelcome in the collection at the Easter morning service. Only sil- ver dollars were wanted, according to the notice. The congregation took heed, appar- ently, as 1155 silver dollars were rung resoundingly down on the small table which stood in front of the pulpit. So imposing was the mass of silver that the cashier of one of the Edwardsville banks was appealed to to open the vault during the noon hour and give the contribution safe keeping. ‘HOME RUN’ BAKER HITS ‘TRAIL’ Five ‘‘:ammatecsz; Also Among Con- verts of Pilly Sunday at Baltimore.

HIS SECOND OFFENSE Leniency of Judge Miller Saves the Defendant a Possible Ag- gregate Fine of $790. John Cafferata, proprietor of a cafe Hamilton avenues, pleaded guilty in Judge Miller’s Court of Criminal Correction today of having game birds in his posses- sion out of season. He was fined $50, but the fine was stayed on his pay- ment of $14.85 costs. Cafferata was fined on the same charge by Judge Miller Jan. 4 last. At that time he was freed on pay- ment of $4.15 cosis.

Holt- haus, a Deputy Game Warden, in the ceiling of Cafferuta’s icebox at his cafe, the night of Fet. 12. A false ceiling with a spring t:ap door was used to conceal the contraband game. When the case was called today, Vital W. Garesche, attorney for Caffevata, ennounced that his client would plead guilty. Judge Miller asked C..ffera'a ic this was his intention. He ~eplicd that ii was. The Judge then questioned Holthaus, who said the assertion in the information was true, after which ths fine was levied and stayed and Caffer nia paid the costs and departed. After the case had been disposed of Prosecuting Attorney Sidener who took no part in the proceedings was askec. by a Post-Dispatch reporter his opinion about the leniency shown Cafferat: ‘It was in the province of the Judg to set aside the fine.’’ he said, ‘“‘but I do not think it was proper to do it, s this was Cafferata’s second offense.’’ Judge Miller Explains. Judge Miller, when asked bv the reporter about the disposition of the case, replied: “‘The other time Caf- ferata was merely fined the costs of court. This time a fine was levied, but it was stayed. I don’t think he will have any of those birds around there any more.

The Mexican emhassay stated that the had not transmitted through Arredondo so far is understood to have been made direct by Gen. Carranza through request been as known there. It Special Agent Rodgers at Mexico City. A reply also wouid be sent through Tiodgers. The presence of troops in Mexico prob- ably will have a decided effect upon diplomatic negotations with Gen. Car- ranza. Some officials believe that if a considerable part of the territory now covered by American forces is turned back to the de facto Government to po- lice, the Carranza forces will be spurred to great activity in chasing bandits. Border to Be Protected. Eliseo Arredondo, Carranza’s Ambassa- dor-designate, sought an interview wita Secretary Lansing today in regard to the Government’s plan to permit Gen. Funston to redispose his forces. It was believed Arredondo would be told that while there was no change in this Government's friendly purposes, there was also no change in its determi- nation to see that raids on American border towns by Mexican bandits ve prevented. Secretary Baker announced the ap- proval of the redisposition plan after corcsulting with the President over « coint report submitted by Major-Gen- eral Funston and Major-Gerreral Scott. The plan was proposed by Gen. Funston and concurred in by Gen. Scott. The Secretary announcéd that the admin- istration's decision was as follows: ‘Gen. Funston has recommended a re- disposition of the forces in Mexico for the purpose of recuperation pending op- portunities for further co-operation with the forces of the de facto Government of ‘Mexico. The recommendation has been approved and its execution left to his discretion.”’ Later the Secretary. lowing: “The statement I have made indicates nothing whatever on the .subject of when the American troops will be with- drawn from Mexico. The whole sub- ject of withdrawal of the forces is un- der arrangement and negotiation by the State Department.’’ Probable Plans for Troops. Withdrawal of the advanced forces in Mexico to the Casas Grandes region, 10 miles south of the border, is regarded by War Department officials as the pos- sible purpose of the re-disposition of the troops Gen. Funston has been author- ized to make. Secretary Baker made it clear today, however, that Gen. Funston had. been given full discretion and that he was not advised specifically of the steps to be taken. The greates part of Gen. Pershing’s force is now nearer Cases Grandes. Army officers pointed out that the re- tirement suggfested would cut the 2om- munication lines to 100 miles from the present border base. The Americé:) forces then would be eble to take care of themselves without undue risk, what ever the developments in Mexico. They also would be able to defend border towns. If Gen. Funston’s purpose is to estab- ilsh his advance lines around Casas Grandes, a strip of territory 300 miles long would be relinquished, as the pres- ent most advanced American post ‘s near Parral, 400 miles south of the bor- der. It is in this territory that Gen. Carranza would be required to demon- strate his ability to secure complete control, to stamp out brigandage and, if possible, to capture or kill Villa be- dictated the fol- {fore a complete withdrawal from Mex- ico would be ordered. Advance Guard Needs Rellef . All recent reports indicate the prer:!ng treed of relief for Gen. Pershing’s ad- vance guard, particularly the cavalry Men were described as physically strained, without shoes, their uniforms frayed and their horses jaded. Many new mounts have been forwarded and quantities of clothing have been sent them. The troops took the fleld with cnly Re essential field outfittings. Movements of Carranza troops near the horder have been closely fvullowed by Gen. Funston and were reported to President -Wilson today by Secretary Baker. Gen. Funston is said to have demonstrated that unless there is thor- cugh co-operation between the Ameri- pow troops and those of the de ‘actu Government of Mexico it will be difffeutt for the pursuit of Villa to continue suc- cessfully. Practicaliy all of President Wilson's closest advisers have urged that the ‘roops be kept in Mexico, at least unti! there are reasonable grounds for betiev- co.

Gretchen. the African lioness at the z00, made an Easter 2ift to’ the City of St. Louis early yesterday morning of four husky cubs. Two is the usual number of lion kittens, but George Dieckman, president of. the. zoo, said that Gretchen evidently wished to show her appreciation of the increased inter- est being shown in the zoo by the chil- dren of the city, and so decided io break records. Few of the thousands of visitors .:+ the zoo yesterday knew of the addition to the population of the lion house, as for a week Gretchen has been kept within a large cloth-covered box in one- half of the lion cage to prevent Alans, her mate. from showing too much of a fatherly interest in affairs. Father lions are inclined to be rough with the cubs. Gretchen presented io the zoo two years ago ov Andrew Baur, grain broker, with offices at 8% North Second street. About one vear ag» two cubs were born, but she killed them through excess attention. She carried them abort constantly and kept banging their heads against the bars of the cage. It is to prevent a repetiticn of such treatment that she is now being kept in the dark- wast Supt. Angermever did not i:now exact- lv at what time the four cubs arrived, but shortly after midnight yesterday he wae aroused by the unusual! roaring of Sultana, the tigress. occupying a cagein the lion house. Two mountain lons took up the chorus, but Hans did net roar. He kept running about his half of the cage, anc when he heard th cries of the cubs he stood: upon his hind legs with his great paws against the bars separatingx him from Gretchen and trying to peer into the darkness. Then he would resume his rapid pacing of the cage The superintendent says he will no* attempt to bring the cubs into the light for at least one week.

BERLIN, via London, April 24.— The Imperial Chancellor, Dr. son Bethmann-Hollweg, returned to Ber- lin yesterday afternoon, which would seem to justify the assumption that the empire's responsible leaders at headquarters have finished the American note and reached a decision concerning Germany's reply. What this reply will be is naturally unknown to any but the highest officials. The Chancellor's return, it is under- stood, was not expected until Tuesday, hence, a general decision appears to have been reached carlier than looked fer. There is no intimation of when the reply will be formulated, but there seems to be much significance in tne fact that the Lokal Anzeiger, Which 1s consistently well intormed, says that “Germany s strengtiu and prestige have so increased in the lasi 20 months ir the eyes of the whole world, that the German Government has, indeed, t» follow the commandments of wis- dom.” The obvious deduction, according tv the view here, is .hat there is nothing tu prevent Germany irom making Cerf- tain concessions {f ths .caders feel that they can properly do s9. \\ netner tuey do feel that they can go thus far is, of course, anothe” guestion, unquestionably a cuonpider- Germany, Which great consideration of only There hk alle peace party ‘sn includes powerful financial tuterce's represented by the Bourse Organs and the Frankfurter Zeitung, and ine uding also the Berli:: Tageblatt and socislist organs.

BERLIN, April %4.—*The story that tie French captured a German subma- rine which attacked the steamer Sussex is absolutely untrue,” a leading mem- ber of the Admiralty staff asserts. ‘‘We know which submarine the French have. It was trapped some time after the Sussex episode and had nothing to do with the Sussex. We have no confirma- tion of the report that the commander and crew of the submarine were saved, hut hope that this Is the fact.” It was officially announced by the French Admiralty, April 6, that a Ger- man submarine was sunk on that day by a squadron of French and British war chips, the crew of the submarine beinw captured, Shortly afterward a Paris eomni-official statement declared that the prisoners confirmed information in the possession of the French Governmens concerning the name of the commander and the number of the submarine which was said to have torpedoed the Sussex.

BARBED WIRE FOR DEFENSE Line Closely Guarded and Men Prepare to Renew Outfits While Waiting. By CLAIR KENAMORE., A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. El PASO, Tex., April °4—Positive in- formation has reached here that the American advance has been drawn back from Parral, Satevo and other far south- ern troops and the troops concentrated about Namiquipa. Whether this drawing in of the expedi- tion’s horns was dictated by reasons of rnilitary expediency, seen by the com- manding General, or was directed by the San Antonio or Washington authori- ties was not made clear. The fight at Parral and the obvious antagonism of the Carranza forces have demonstrated that the advance must needs be strong. 1t may be considered much wiser to mark time in a section of country like that about Namiquipa rather than near Parral, where there is a strong Mexican carrison, and where the feeling against the Americans is so intense. Barbed Wire Used in Defenses. Rarbed wire entanglements have been added to the trenches and barricades around some of the camps along the line of communication maintained by the expedition in Mexico. Travelers just »eturned from the South say that one camp which is near a Mexican town fs well guarded by entanglements made in the best European manner. In the Nght of the enigmatical dis- patch from Washington, the wisdom of making strong defenses is apparent. Mil. itary and political men here are unavie 10 understand Washington's attitude, as the dispatches from there for more than a week had been apparently for ths purpose of leading up to the withdrawal of the troops. Today's talk of readjust- ment and recuperation apparently de- stroy many prearranged notions of what igs to happen. If the present force in Mexico is not to be withdrawn, it is declared by army men, it must have strong reinforce- ments at once. The troops’ position is untenable, technically, and if the force is to be maintained south of the bor- der, immediate arrangements for itis protection and care must be mude, offi- cials say. Another theory advanced to account for the change of position of the ad- ministration is that it is feared if tbe troops should be withdrawn, the Car- ranza Government would collapse at once. The presence of American svpi- diers in Mexico, which was at first a menace to Carranza’s power, has Le come the stiffening in his support. N. violently anti-American party could cause great trouble to Americans tn the district in which the American troops are making time, because the Americans could flee to the camps. Troops Need New Clothes, The statement that the troops would * spend their period of nonactivity in ‘‘re- _ cuperating” is interpreted as meaning that they will be reoutfitted, to a Jarge extent. Clothing has been torn to rags ly the hard work of the expedit’on ana practically every man needs a new uni- form. The wagons, trucks and kitchens ail need repairs and .this opportunity will be eagerly seized to build up the worn parts. Pablo Lopez, who is reported to have been captured, is the Villa General who caused the execution of 16 Americars at Santa Ysabel. It is said he was taken not far from Santa Ysabel and that he is wounded in both legs. This recalls the story that Villa used Lopez as a dummy and that the reports of Villa being wounded wer- strengthened by the carrying of Lopez on a stretcher.

VILLA IS 85 MILES ADVANCE FORCE SAN ANTONIO, Tex., April %4.—Fran- cisco Villa, slightly wounded but not in- capacitated, was reported to have moved into the mountainous region northwest of Parral. This information, which has reached Gen. Funston, is from a source that causes him to regard it as authen- tic. Villa was last reported seen at Monoava, about eighty-five miles by trail southwest of Satevo, where the most advanced of Gen. Pershing’s forces were yesterday. Immediate pursuit of Villa will prob- ably not be resumed. To follow him into the mountains of that region with small detached forces, either of infan- try or cavalry, js regarded as imprac- ticable and the plans for a concentra- tion of Gen. Pershing’s army will carried out along the lines recommenc- ed by Gen. Funston and approved by Secretary of War Baker. The detached cavalry forces above Satevo will fall back on the main line, which will be gathered: into stronger units along the existing line of con'- munications, where the troops and an:- mals will begin a period of recupera- tion pending developments incident to the diplomatic exchanges between the two Governments. Gen. Pershing, it is expected, will return to his headquarters at Colonia Dublan, in the environs Casas Grandes. Little difficulty now is being experi- enced in getting supplies over.the Norti- western to Casas Grandes, but the use of the direct line from Juarez to Chi- huahua has been a failure. None of the supplies sent to Chihuahua have been forwarded and reports to headquarters confirm earlier tinofficial reports that they have been held at Chihuahua by Carranza authoriiies. The troops that have been moving for the last few days toward Columbus are entering Mexico almost as soon as they arrive at the border base, and it is ex- pected that the entire 2300 will be along the line of communications within a day or two.

Stamford, Conn.—‘‘I am a nurse and suffered from a nervous breakdown. I had no appetite and could not sleep at night, and nothing seemed to help me. By chance I heard of Vinol, and after taking the first bottle I noticed an improvement, and four bottles made me well and strong, it gave me a hearty appetite, so I can sleep soundly night or day. I consider Vinol a wonderful tonic.” Edith R. Forbes, Stamford, Conn. The reason Vinol is so successful in overcoming such conditions is be- cause it is a constitutional remedy and goes to the seat of the trouble. It is the greatest strength creator we know—due to the extractive med- icinal elements of fresh cod livers without oi], combined with pépto- nate of iron and beef peptone, all dissolved in a pure medicinal wine. We have seen so many wonderful recoveries like this right here in St. Louis caused by Vinol, that we feel perfectly safe in offering to return money in every such case where Vinol fails to benefit. Vinol is sold in St. Louls by the Wolff-Wilson Drug Co. and by all other drug stores in St. Louis that display the Vinol agency sign.—ADV. RED BLOTCHES DISFIGURED HEAD Of Little Girl.

HERE FOR AN ADDRESS Suggests That 100,000 Business Men Attend National Conven- tion of Each Party. Lesiie M. Shaw of New York, Secre- tary of the Treasury in President Roose- velt’s Cabinet for four years, was in St. Louis today to speak at the Civic League luncheon on the general topic of trade expansion. , At the Planters Hote! in the morning @haw said that in his opinion prepared- nese Yor business certainties was the moat important issue before the country. “Y would urge,” he sald, “that busi- ness men take a more active interest in polities. The two great political par- ties have been vieing with each other for a decade to see which could hit business the hardest. If business men will take part in politics and let their needs rather than their wishes be known, all this would change. The people are friendly to business. Suagests Business Motto. “If the business people will enter a campaign under this motto, ‘That the people may know,’ there will be no more trouble along that line. As it is, the people do not know. “‘The national convention of each party should be attended by 100,000 business men of that party. They should parade the streets under appropriate banners, but not in the interest of any candidate. Let the delegates who have been select- ed as a great nominating committee dis- charge the responsibilities for which they were selected. “The presence of these men, whoever is nominated, and whichever party !s successful, would effectually obliterate business antagonism. The goid standard parade of 100,000 in New York City in 1896 turned the tide. They did not march for a candidate, but for a principle. Principles are bigger than men, These are not times for personal ambition.” Asked at this point regarding the can- didacy of Roosevelt, Shaw said that hs could not discuss it without violating the rule he laid down for business men. He said he took no part in the Roose- velt-Taft contest four years ago be- cause both were his friends, and he said he ‘“‘could see no principle involved.” He urged the necessity of a merchart marine to replace ships permanent:y withdrawn from the American trade and said that this country would be at a great disadvantage at the close of thg¢ European war if it did not have many ships to meet its need of every possible advantage. Asked for his views on preparednets of military and naval forces, he repliod that everybody favored that in a gen- @ral way.

W. H. Osborn, Com- missioner of Internal Revenue, written in the routine of his official duty in answer to a letter from the manufacturer. The Government officials find in the “Bull” Durham factory nothing but the bright, golden leaves of Carolina and Virginia tobaccos—the tobaccos that have made American cigarettes the most popular smokes in,the world. In Durham —and indeed, throughout practically all of North:Carolina and the adjoining counties of Virginia—nearly every man is interested in tobacco, the great staple crop of the community. In the towns where the tobacco warehouses are located; on the farms, in the banks, in the stores—everywhere—these men who grow the tobacco, who take it to market, who buy it and sell it, and are made prosperous by the business of handling the money received from the crop —everywhere, these men know that the sweetest, mellowest, choicest bought for GENUINE SMOKING TOBACCO And they know that nothing else ever enters the “Bull” Duham factory. These men who live with tobacco, know that for three generations the same farms in the same counties have been producing their best for “Bull” Durham. They know that the quality of “Bull” Durham has made the city of Durham famous — and the honor of “Bull” Durham is a source of pride, not only to the manufacturers, but to the entire community. Test ‘‘Buall’’ Durham Purity For Yourself! You can easily prove to ee Hoe ee ieeted ee F . . . ~ leaf is ULL DURHAM your entire satisfaction the absolute purity of this famous old tobacco. Simply take a bag of “Bull” Durham and empty the tobacco on a piece of white paper. Then separate the grains with your finger and examine them closely. You will find only tiny flakes of pure tobacco — nothing else looks like the golden Carolina- Virginia leaf used in “Bull” Durham. Your eye would instantly “spot” anything of a different nature. Make the test today — learn to “roll your own” with “Bull” Durham — and you'll find the greatest smoke-enjoyment of your life.

By RICHARD F.. STOKES. Like a draft of ozone blowing through the conventions of music, scattering the dust and cobwebs and filling every erevice with freshness, was the spirit which informed the playing of Percy Giainger, the notable Australian com- poser-pianist, at his first St. Louis concert, given this morning at the Worm- an’s Club, 4600 Lindell boulevard An almost startling example of his breezy originality was displaved in his performance of Bach's Prelude and fugue in D Major, transcribed for the piano by Busoni. Bach, of course, its considered the synonym of the ‘“‘hignh- trow”’’ in music. ret it is safe to sav that no ‘‘professor’’ presiding at ; dance hali could have put more vim an] ginger into ‘Alexander's tagtime Band’ than was stirringly present in Grainger’s keenly rhythmical and nea: ly syncopated version of this fugue for the organ. According to the dryasdusts, this was sacrilege; but it !s not so certain that Bach himself would have been dis- pleased with the vitality breathed inio his work by the young Australian. Sure- ly the old Saxon cantor did not inteni his compositions to become a_ sort musical algebra. At any rate. the at dience, composed of about 4 persons mostly society women, was delighted. as its little shrieks and gasps of pleas- ure proved. Not the song of the Iyvric spirit or the declamation of the orator, but the rhythmic dash of the cCGancer is the characteristic of Grainger’s talent as a pianist. A considerable portion of his program was made up of dance musi-. Including two of his own compositions. a ‘“‘Mock~ Morris Bance” and ‘‘Shep- herd’s Hey.’ an English Morris dance tune, set by Grainger. These had som» of the toe-teasing quality of our own Classic of the fiddle, “‘Turkev in the Straw.”’ Yet—bounteous as his aureole of blond locks promised—he had also the quali- ties of the musical poet and dreamer. Which were revealed in his emotionai in- terpretation of Schumann's “‘Romanece in kF Sharp Minor,’’ and Brahms’ ‘*Bal- lade in G Minor,’ ‘Intermezzo I'lat,”’ and Rhapsody in E Flat,.”’ as wel! ' as in the pianist’s own tender ‘‘Irish Tune Krom County Derry,” and_ his Sailor's, chanty, ‘“‘One More Dav. M John.’’ His indebtedness to his first patron, Grieg, was reflected in his particulars affecting performance of the great Nor- wegian's “To the Springtime.’ of the little tonal tragedy, “I Ola Dalom.” and the peasant dance, “Jon Vestafav's Spring Dance.” Ravel's miniature tone- poem. “Ondine,.”’ was plaved with suit- able fluidity of touch and poetry wf feeling: and Debussv's futuristic Th. catta in C-sharp Minor’ was a marvel of dash and delicacy. Grainger was called upon for three encores, two of which were his own ‘cmposition oe, Se a song and the little piece “Gay,\but Wistful.” fron (,raingei's suité "In wf STrett The ether was Brahms’ “Waltz in A Flat.” (opus 39, No. 15. ——_—— — POSTMASTER AT FENTON, MO..

Fire on the first floor of the three- story brick building at 712 North Broad- way at 1 o’clock this morning damaged the stock and fixtures of the Mart Clothing Co. to the extent of $1500.

Carpet Cleanin at the lowest price ever quoted CorsesPandence of the Associated Press. N THE BRITISH FRONT, France, April 10.—The question of what becomes of the vast number of broken implements of warfare and the discarded clothing and shoes that are commonly supposed to strew the battlefields where great armies are operating, may be answered, so far as the British expeditionary force is concerned, by a visit to one of the bases of the British army. All these things, from the big gun which has been shattere' by a shell, to the smallest part of Tommy Atkins’ per- sonal equipment which has been bro- ken or lost, are gathered up and re- turned to one of the bases, where ‘they are repaired, if possible. If they cannot be mended such parts as are intact are used in re- newing other implements or articles of the same kind, and in event that they are hofelessly broken or torn they are sold as junk. Busy at Repairing. A correspondent of the Associated Press was permitted to visit one of these big repair depots. Departments of every description were busy at restoration. In one building .was a pile of upwards of half . million pairs of worn boots—a veritable mountain of muddy footgear. These were being disinfected, cleaned, resoled and re- paired in other ways at the rate of 7000 pairs a week by a large force of experts. As fast as they were fin- ished they were placed in stock ready to go back to the trenches when there should be a call for more boots. In other shops parts of broken har- ness from the equipment of the army horses were being repaired, saddles were being made over, rifles were be- ing made whole, big guns were in the process of renewal, uniforms and equipments were being overhauled— in fact, every conceivable sort of thing which finds use in the army was being renovated.

Thousands mene That His Peace Ef- forts Will Succeed. ROME, April 24.—Before sunset last night the Pope had received more than 3000 telegrams bringing Easter greetings besides innumerable letters, messages and addre&sses from al! parts of the world, far surpassing the number re- of dealers who buy cloth of this cription for various saaesemcces acs: pArposes. Much of the work in this repair depot was being done by French girls, although a large force of men was required for the heavy work and such duties as called for skilled labor. An officer explained that “no waste” was the motto under which the British forces were vorking and declared that the result was the sav- ing of vast sums of money for the government.

Now that the Senate of these United States has expressed itself to the effect that a million trained men would prove a good reserve corps for our national defense, the following is offered as @ suggestion to help: We need—the spirit of patriotism, the money, the men, their officers and their training. The first and second we surely have got; the men will be found when they are needed; but on the subject of officers and the training of both officers and enlisted men we don’t seem to be atle to make any progress. Would not the simplest way to consider this last mentioned matter be to do just as we would do if war was before us now? As for officers, where are the men that were formerly noncommissioned officers in the regular army—I mean the many in elvil life; would not they make excellent commissioned officers for this reserve corps? Could you expect them to re-en- list to serve under politicians or college boys of no experience to act the real game of war? ; SUGGESTOR. The Price of Apples. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In regard to the present prices of apples, if eonsumers would hold off on vrurchasing except for actual needs, prices would drop to a fair level. Washington reports that one-third of the crop in cold storage is awaiting consumption and that the big holders are getting anxious. LE TAOR. German-American Loyalty. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. in a very conspicuous manner you have quoted ig yesterday’s paper the census, with the purpose t@ show the large minority of that part of the American people of German descent. You have failed to include into the numbers that part of our people having the German spirit of true devotion to duty. 1] think I can interpret the sentiment of that part of our people, which President Wilson and newspapers of your caliber do not cease to stig- matize by exaggerated remarks. This sentiment ig: That we have learned to live In this country, that we claim it ours as well as anybody else’s, who does his duty as an American citizen and therefore we know and are ready to figh:+ for our eountry and need be—also to die for it. We have no fear! DR. A. SIEBERT. Taft’s Recent Address, To the Fditor of the Post-Dispatch. iMr. W. E. Johnston takes exception to some things quoted from Mr, Taft's address here. An@ we do not wonder, for surely the St. Louis re- porters did not give the eminent lecturer a fair hearing. Mr, Taft holds the confidence and respect of the American people, both Democrats and Re- publicans. He made a most efficient executive and the people of this country owe him repara- tion for the wrongs he suffered at the hands of en opponent who wanted his office, Mr. Taft's record as President off the United Btates includes the passage of some. spbendid economic. improvements—namely, the postal sav- ings bank bill, the parcels post, the revision of the currency laws, making possible the reserve fund as a prevention of money panics. He estab- lighed much needed efficiency in governmental werk and expenditures and had he continued tn office would have championed certain land laws davised for the provision of an independent live- Ithood upon the soil as a prevention of unemploy- ment. If he had been continued in office an- ether term it would have saved the people the Great destitution they subsequently suffered. But this undemonstrative people allowed ¢heir ef executive to be maligned and misrepresent- geen the rostrum by one who wanted, not @ eecond, but a third term, until he was fairly forced to defend himself from the unwarranted ulte of his assailant. ot only that we owe him reparation, bhut-for the good of the whole world, William Howard Taft should be nominated by the Republican party as its candidate at the June convention in Chicago. He ig the only one they can surely elect in Noveiber. A RBADER. Why Bother the Kaiser Now? Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Bevery § right-thinking American can commend Mr. Bryan's solution of the Germen crisis. ‘By waiting until the end of the war to settle this controversy with thé Kaiser, he wil! then be free of hia troublesome Russian, French and En- sh embroilments; hfs fleet will frolic freely on * sea: his army will be disenttaged; and he can then give us his undivided attention. 2 stands for fair play and shéuld not SHALL ALIEN VOTES WIN? The significance of the additional facts pub- lished by the New York World concerning the conspiracy of leaders of the German-American Alliance to control the Government in the inter- est of Germany is manifold. The facts show a nation-wide movement to con- trol official power in the United States through political influence and the votes of German- Americans to the end that the power, interest and sovereignty of the United States may be sub- ordinated to the interest of a foreign Power re- gardiess of consequences to this country. The facts prove the willingness of some Amer- ican public men to barter their patriotism and fidelity to their country’s vital interests for the votes of men who support an alien interest. The facts show that the movement is aimed primarily against President Wilson as the man who directs executive power in defense of Amer- ican rights against German aggression, but it in- cludes all public men who are not subservient to German dictation. The conspiracy in so far as it involves Amer- ican citizens is base, but not so base as the con- duct of American public men who miserably succumb to such alien influences in order to get votes for office. The letter of former Gov. Col- quitt of Texas to Ridder and Koelble of New York, pleading for their influence to obtain Ger- man-American support for his senatorial candi- dacy in Texas on the ground of his opposition to Wilson’s foreign policy and his advocacy of Gen man interests, is inexpressibly contemptible. Nor is he the only one. We find Congressmen Henry, McLemore and Davis competing for the votes of the organized German element. They: are asking alien sympathizers in New York to obtain for them the votes of alien sympathizers in Texas on the ground of their subservience to the interest of a foreign Government in conflict with that of the United States. The facts throw a flood of light on the situation in Congress. The conspiracy is not confined to It is working in all.the states wherever unprincipled demagogues are seeking office. In admirable contrast to the traitorous demo- gogery of these subservient politicians is the conduct of Senator Husting of Wisconsin. In answer to a telegram from Pabst and other in- fluentiai German-Americans of Milwaukee urging him to keep the United States out of conflict Texas. with Germany, he replied: War can best be avoided by wrong yielding to right and not by right yielding to wrong. Would, therefore, respectfully suggest that you wire the German Ambassador of the fer- vent desire of all Americans fer peace and that peace can best be preserved by the strict observance on the part of the Imperial Ger- man Government of the provisions of interna- tional law xOverning naval warfare. This is the attitude of every American citizen worthy of the name. must stand solidly for America against all alien influences Americans which seek to sacrifice the country to foreign interests. So far as Germany is concerned, we are forearmed. The issue has been made in that quarter by President Wilson’s ultimatum on the injuries we have suffered. Shall this issue be destroyed and the nation humili- ated by organized alien political wrongs and influences at home?” ~~ + o--—__— . PUTTING ON THE BAN. Some Oklahoma churches are putting the ban on dancing. It would be well also if somebody in that neigh- borhood would put the ban on indiscriminate shooting, bank robbery and other demonstrations of exuberance akin to the terpsichorean. If Okla- homa confined her cutting doose to the ballroom floor she would be better off—but the same thing may be said with equal grace of older communi- ties, including our own, A little more dancing as a safety valve wouldn’t hurt us. +o —______. THREE CENTURIES AFTER SHAKSPEARE. The week set apart for honoring Shakspeare — on the three-hundredth anniversary of his death opens with a solemn adjudication of issues of fact which determines that the wisdom of all the world has been wrong for these three cen- turies and denies his title to honors. The poet.during his lifetime was engaged in some censiderable litigation. He takes many a humorous fling in his writings at the absurd- ities of the law. It is adduced by some that he must himself at one time have been a law stu- dent. But could even his imagination, tempered and held within probable bounds by experience, have conceived of such a lawsuit affecting his cor- poreal and incorporeal hereditaments, his rights, titles and usufructs, as that which originated at Chicago” Shakespeare having held the mirror up to na- ture, one William N. Selig was about to hold the mirror up the mirror for Chicago's benefit —to present the shadow of a shadow of rea! life. That is, being engaged in the film pieture busi- ness, he was about to put the immertal Shaks- pearean werks into the movies. But at the same time George Fabyan, Kate E. Wells and Elizabeth Wells Gallup were about to complete the publication of certain books declar- ing Bacon, not Shakspeare, to be the author of these works. Whereupon Mr. Selig demanded and obtained a writ of injunction restraining publication on the ground that assertion of Baconian authorship would work prospective injury to his vested rights in the Ghakspeare movies, and that, be- ing without a remedy at law, he was deserving of the relief of a court of equity. A certain Lord Penzance once made a judicial summing up of the evidence in the Bacon-Shak- speare cormtroversy, but few Judges figure in America dorner Germany in this, her hour of trial. BO, Shakspeariana, at least in their official capacities. 4n universities. _ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, MONDAY EVENING, ‘APRIT. 24, 1916. However, if one figured on each page of the vast bibliography of the poet, if all the years since 1616 were besprinkled with Judges, is it probable that one would be disclosed with the assurance and calm conviction of Judge Richard S. Tuthil] of the Cook County Circuit Court? He banished all questionings as to his own jurisdiction, entertained the case, heard the evidence, took the issue under advisement and decided against the respondent on the ground, not that no actionable set of facts had been dis- Clgsed before his upright and learned bench, but that Bacon rather than Shakspeare actually was the author. If Shakspeare may be said to have had his day in court, some of us nevertheless will prefer the finding accepted as res adjudicata by the world for nearly 250 of the 300 years and appeal from the finding of Chicago’s bench. In traveling we shall hasten whenever we have occasion to pass through Cook County. What we shall say, of this Judge will contain no weasel words to suck out the substance of its meaning and dis- guise the flagrant contempt of court—meriting severest punishment—cf which we are and con- tinuously shall be guilty. The Elizabethan era understood Shakspeare well enough. So did the eras that succeeded. It remained to the mid-Victorian era, uncompre- hending of genius generally, to invent the Baco- nian theory in its pathetic gropings to account for a Shakspeare. ¢o¢-———__----—— ENDING A PLAGUE OF FLIES. Conditions under which the plague of flies can be abated have come, be well understood. The formula is: Cleanliness, destruction of fly survivors of the cold seasor immediately on their appearance in the spring and after that war on parent fly stock and fly larvae whenever and wherever found. It is a work of infinite detail. To perform it properly the community must turn itself into a committee of the whole. Children are among the most valued members of such committee. In St. Louis the Consumers’ League is directing the efforts of the community committee of the whole. The City Health Department is co-op- erating. Assistant Health Commissioner G. A. Jordan has issued 100,000 copies of a circular on the importance of ending the plague and how to do it. ee eae oe The classic example of success in a crusade of this kind is Cleveland, which became Flyless Town through hard work along simple lines. The fly is an unpleasant and unsanitary insect. The way to sterilize him is to kill him. He in- terferes with comfort. He is, in this latitude, per- haps the principal agent in spreading disease. Join the Fly Mill-Pop Club. The object of each member of this club is, by destruction of fly pro- genitors, to reduce the prospective fly population of next summer by at least a million a day. = | * ~~. -_-- oo 7 wer = ee Ten states do not tax mortgages, and 25 do not tax state, county or municipal bonds.

The idea of “‘preparedness” is pervading every fiber of Germany. According to the Berliner Post Dr. Martinek of the War Ministry is on a tour through Germany to insist on juvenile training for soldierdom. Boys from the earliest years are to be trained, and youths must be given the full measure of military training. Dr. Lewandowski, who accompanies the min- aterial envoy, lectures on the subject of “‘pre- paredness” in day and high schools, as well as “The boy,” says he, “who can- not earry a gun, load or fire it, can carry a stick; and boys from the earliest vears on can be taught to climb over impediments, crawl up unnoticed to an adversary, vault over streams and ditehes, and learn discipline—blind obedi- ence to his superiors.” Dr, Martinek had sehool companies drill for him, has gathered the youths of villages and small towns on commons, and organized them into squads. Invalided soldiers, crippled veterans, and other derelicts from the war are being used to drill the boys everywhere. The Sonntagsblatt of the Vossische Zeitung prints pietures of boys drilling, jumping fences, climbing over abattis, horseback riding, tunnel- ing, digging trenches, ete. “We cannot begin training too early,” said the doctor at Halle, “if we really want efficient soldiers. The war has proved that every muscle counts, and that half- drilling is a fallacy. I am personally convinced that early trained men will make 40 miles a day, and then be able to still hold their own in a fight.” The program includes special exercises in all Government schools from the tot to the youth. “This system,” says the doctor, “will result in fewer rejections by the recruiting officers, as every youth will be inured and fit” 1@TR" a j ee - 4 ’ ae . ° S yoy . ¥, osé- ue ‘4 > AA, CP.

ANTWINE seemed in some doubt whether Mi he were annoyed or amused by something : he had just read. ‘‘It beats all how hard they try to euchre Shaks- peare out of his plays,’’ he said. ‘‘A judge in Chi- cago has just handed down a judicial opinion that the plays of Shakspeare were written by Sir Francis Bacon, and Marse Henry Watterson, who went over the thing thoroughly in England with Mark Twain, wants us to believe that the author of the plays was Marlowe. Although we are now celebrating the three hundredth anniversary of the death of Shaks. peare, almost nobody is saying a good word for him. The press is filled with cryptograms and other devices for proving that he never wrote a play in his life, and it would not surprise anybody much if the cele- bration of the anniversary of Shakspeare’s death had the amazing effect of leaving him without a shred of the reputation he enjoyed before the festivities began. ‘‘Something ought to be done to keep a movement of this kind from assuming the guise of a celebra- tion, and I hope and trust this particular community will have nothing to do with it. Let us, at least, stick to the man who wrote the plays. We shall probably be rewarded by turning up on the winning side. You may be very sure that tlie present move ment is nothing new. The plays of Shakspeare have always been something of a stir in the world of let- ters, and attempts to pry him loose from the distiuc- tion of having written them have pretty well taken up the three centuries since he ceased to be able to protect his rights to them himself. None of those efforts has ever succeeded. It has looked dark for Shakspeare at times, but he has always emerged in the end as the author of his plays. I think he will do so again. The evidence that he didn't write them doesn't appear to be any better now than it was when he was advertising himself as the author of them at the Globe Theater and responding to cries of ‘‘Author!’’ I think he will come out all right, but to make sure of it let’s all sit tight and refuse to participate in a celebration of any kind. It is only something stirred up by people who want to strip Shakspeare of his honors and hand them over to some of their own forebears.’’ (assidry, the dairyman;: Shure art ‘a on Motkhe.

I have stayed with you just as long as I can, You have some been good to me, yea good and kind! But, boys, you won't miss me—just one lonely man— And your eyes are so tired of seeing my kind. I feel that I’m going, and going alone, I know there is no one who would come along; I am going out where the roses have grown Since the world started moving at sound of the gong— How it smiles that town, when its boys think of home, Its heart is just yearning to see me come. There was a girl, too, perhaps she is still there, It seeins so long since I looked in her eyes; Can she still have some spot in her heart to spare For this boy come back who is so city-wise And tired of the business where friends never come. Will the arms open wide and welcome my breast; Or will her eyes be cold and her lips be dumb And her spirit entombed where pure women rest; It seems so long since I looked in her eyes I may only fivd where her sweet memory lies.

HOME READERS’ DAILY MAGAZINE ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH Selected Fiction and Tirmmely Topics rs iterature’s Finest Story of England’s | Greatest Sea Fight By J. W. Muller Land’s End, The Lizard, The Needles, Portsmouth, Calais, Dunkirk, the North Sea and the Orkneys—all the places that figure today in the submarine and other news of the two huge watching sea-powers, figure thrillingly in the last and greatest scene of Charles Kingsley’s famous sea-story, “Westward Ho!” HEN Don Guzman Maria Mag- W dalena Sotomayer de Soto won and carried away from Devon Rose Salterne, whom all the young blades called The Rose of Torridge, Amyas Leigh, of Biddeford, swore a great oath. He swore that he would kill the Spanish grandee, though he hunted him around the earth's globe and though a thousand times a thou- sand salt tides should pass before he found him. He sailed his tall ship Ross to the Spanish Main and failed to meet his foe. But he left the ship's bonse there with those of his brother, and he re- turned home knowing that Rose was dead in Venezuela. It made his hatred all the more black, seeing that there was little left to him except that hatred. He prayed often’ thereafter—an awful prayer. It was that Don Guz- rian might not die before they met. A wild joy was his when one day Sir Richard Grenville stormed into his house and brought news that a great Armada of Spain was sailing toward the coast of England to break the island kingdom forever. He sailed out of Bideford into the Bristol Channel and around Land’s End up the English Channel to Plym- outh, where were gathered ships of Francis Drake, John Hawkins, Frob- isher, Raleig:: and a dozen more of Queen Elizabeth's Spain-hating gen- tleman-adventurers. None hated Spain more than did the crew of Amyas Leizh’s ship, the Vengeance. They waited till the Armada was spied sweeping up channel past the Lizard in formation half-moonwise and full seven miles from wing to wing. Then they put out. They banged and ran away and banged and fled again, their little ships hanging to the Spaniard’s high sea- castles as snapping whippets might hang to a herd of Andalusian bulls. They shuffled the huge fleet past Ply- mouth and down the coast to Porte- mouth. From the Needles poured En- glish ship after ship to join the fight that shook the white chalk cliffs. Past Brighton Cliffs, Beachy Head, Hastings and Dungeness it roared with clouds of sulphur smoke and vast painted silk banners shining high above. The Vengeance was in the press of it. Amyas Leigh was at the helm and by his side fierce old Salvation Yeo, who had been with John Oxenham at Pan- ama and had only one wish in all the world=to pay back the Spaniards %or hanging that beloved captain. The Great Armada Flees Into the North Sea. HROUGH smoke and hangings and i; battles, now of the single ships, now of confused squadrons, these two steered the Vengeance ever asain toward one Spanish ship, a great gal- leon whose banners flaunted the bright coat-of-arms of De Soto. And D»™ Guzman was not. remiss. Shining ‘n silvery mail his brave figure stood on the poop, beckoning to Amyas Leigh with a hungry sword. The sea-fight drove down on Calelis, and toward yellow Dunkirk sands and of a sudden northward and out into the North Sea. Then the English fleet knew that the great Armada was running. Past Yarmouth and the mouth of the Humber and Flamborough Head they drove the fleeing ships. The Scottish coast came in sight. My Lord Thomas Howard hung to them and drove them beyond the tempting shelter of the Firth of Forth. Once past there, it was over. The avalanche that was to overwhelm Eng- land had melted helplessly and pitiably away. One by one the Enelish ships dropped off, to pillage prizes or carry them Into port. At last only one ship remained In chase. It was the Vengeance, and the ship she chased was the galleon Santa Catherine—shot-torn, gale-batter- ed, her cold tarnished and her bright tilken banners ragecd, but unbeaten still and commanded still by the un- Jaunted Don Guzman. They raced north around Scotland and the Orkneys. Then the Vengeance forced him south again, down between the Hebrides and Scotiand and past the fale of Syke whose wild inhabitants nowled with glee. Intc the Irish Sea they raced and southward past Holy- head and into Cardigan Bay. Foeur times they fought, and still Don Guz- man evaded a grapple. So on the six- teenth day of the chase the two came around St. David's Head and into the opening of Amyas Leigh's own Bristol Channel. A Terrific Squall Sweeps Over the English Channel. HEY turned eastward — toward if home, the home whence the Spaniard had taken the Rose of Torridge. Amyas Leigh exulted that his revenge should be so finely staged. But one on “board = agaid: “Eastward Ho never brought us luck!” and at that moment a tearing squall broke from a long black cloud. The two ships were wrapped in a gray whirlwind as they staggered helplessly to lee. “Can you see the chase’ yelled Amyas, and then: “Hurrah!” There was the Santa Catherine, fly- ing with splitten canvas. “Range alongside, though it blow live imps and witches!” bellowed bs Palvation Teo leaped to the helm. Z. Si Aaa “Port! helm!” Amyas and Yeo leaned to the helm like yoked steers. The Vengeance careened, but she swung around. Within 200 yards was the Spantard, and in front of him loomed a huge, dark mass that was not rain or cloud. “Lundy!” screamed Yeo. “The Isle of Lundy! Hard a-port and may the Lord have mercy on us! Look at the Spaniard!’ Between them and the wall of gran- ite the galleon loomed dimly, strug- gzled to obey her helm, fell away and rushed to her doom. “Lost! Lost!’ cried Amyas Leigh madiv. He hurled his sword far into the sea. “Shame! To Iose my right, my right! When it was in my very grasp! Unmerciful!” A crack rent the sky. There was a world of bright flame against which stood out every mast and sail, the sinking galeon and Salvation Yeo, bright and fearful, the tiller in his hand. Then Salvation Yeo dropped dead on deck and utter darkness fell —a black, black night that never lifted again for Amyas Leigh of Dev- on. The great flash of lightning had struck him blind. It is not too much to say that this story, written by a churchman, is one of the very finest sea stories ever produced tn any language or tn any age. Whoever has followed the course of the Spanish Conquesta- dores and their English enemies over the Spanish Main, bears wit- ness not only to the beauty of Charles Kingsley’s descriptions of the Caribbean Tropics, but to their wonderful accuracy. Yet Kingsley never saw the American Tropics until 1870, and he wrote “Westward Ho!” in 1855. He got almost all his material from Hakluyt and En- glish histories; but he had the im- agination of genius, whose mark ts that in its farthest flight it still grips undeviatingly at the truth.

F a baby had the appetite of a young potato beetle it would eat from 50 to 100 pounds of food every 24 hours. If a horse ate as much as a caterpillar, in proportion to its size, it would con- sume a ton of hay every 24 hours. A caterpillar eats twice its weight of leaves every dav; but a potato beetle devours every day at least five times its weight of foliage, every bit of which represents just so much money to the farmer. The most destructive of all insects, however, is the grasshopper, which, when in good health, consumes ina day 10 times its weight of vegetation.

Cousin Lilian was an optimist, not vy birth- right. but by persistent achieveme rn’ Optimism is a good thing, of course--all the Gregoryvs were optimists: thev lieved that the world Was a fine place to live in and that life was an advent'ire splendidly worth while if only \91 played the game squarely. The Greg- orys called a spade a spade, but at tne same time kept it carefully in its right relation to the scheme of things. That, however, was a philosophy of life ut- terly incompretensible to Cousin Lillian. The first time she heard Bob tell Rab to mind her business, she looked up in distress. “O Bob dear,” she cried, “I’m sure Bab didn’t mean anything! Fab is very generous and—and—intelligent!”’ “Why, of course she is,’’ Bob agree4, bewildered, “‘but she needn't butt in when there's no occasion.”’ ‘**Butt in.” indeed!

If Ronena re- lieved her mind in regard to a man who was a discouraging social problem, Cous.- in Lilian was sure that he hada “hero's soul’’ concealed somewhere about him In short, healthy as were the nerves of the Gregorya, Cousin Lilian ‘‘got on” them. It was Jo who finally sacrificed herself to the public good. “Cousin Lilian,’ she cried, “you make me tired! I wouldn't live tp such a wishy-washy world for anything!

ANY persons look for the Boston Red Sox to win the American League pennant race, despite the loss of Tris Speaker. These argue that the difference in hitting strength »be- tween the man who will fill the gap in Boston's outfield, will not be over 40 points and that this might not mean much to the club, distributed through a season. But, look at it another way: De- troit finished only 2 games behind Boston last year. Did Speaker mean riore than $3 games to his club during the course of a season? Off-hand, one would guess that his personal value, counting defense and offense, would represent not less than 10 victories due to some. special | achievement that no other of the ‘substitutes, who will take his place this year, could accomplish. The club has lost its super- punch, which now and then is needed to break ties or win games, or to give the needeg lit- tle weight to overbalance the enemy's defense. pay ether Siic- cess more surely, cree, still a matter | Aa . all Boston pitchers had splendid season's last year If. Leon- ard, Shore, Foster, Ruth and Mays come through as last season, the club would atill figure te lose to the Tigers, on dope purely, But as it is most ee, that all five men will do AS WELL on the hill this year, another biue tone is added to the outlook of the world’s champions. Boston, however, had some bad luck last year at the season's start. Perhaps a season of continued good cheer will offset Speaker's loss. -——~—- -@} Burt Wins Trap Shoot.
