Carefulattention will be given the official <7 to discover fine shades of meaning which may have been obscured — in the Berlin news dispatches. Cabinet members were asked ws the President to give close attention to the document. — Overnight study of the note by cabinet members and officials did not — change their view that probably there would be no break in tiptoaldtte relations unless there were further attacks in violation of international law. 4 There is a possibility that the United States may make a brief reply notify- — 4 ing the Berlin Government that as long as the new orders to submarine commanders are fully observed diplomatic relations will not be discon. tinued on that score. Secretary Lansing already has studied the note once and was going ever it very carefully again today. There were indications that farther jom- 4 sideration by the cabinet would not be necessary. Count von Bernstorff, the German ret-rned to the embassy today from New York. He said he had no communication from his Govern- ment and had no reason to visit the state department, Germany, in her note, reserves ‘‘com- plete liberty of cecision” should the United States fail to prevail upon Great Britain to bring her practises into con- formity with the international law. The official view is that the United States for some time has been and now is con- ducting diplomatic correspondence with Great Britain on that subject and the success or failure of the negutiations and Germany's consequent action must necessarily remain for the future. The United States does not know how Germany’s new instructions to subma- rine commanders compare with previous instructions whicn were given at the behest of President Wilson. Secretary Lansing stated that it was possible the State Department might ask for official copies of the old orders. Time Must Anavwer Question. The newest orders, however, apparent- ly are regarded as meeting the Presi- dent’s demand for a declaration of an abandonment of the present practices of submarine warfare. Officials seem agreed that the President’s demand that Germany also ‘effect’ such an aban- donment could be only answered by time. ’ Two things wera made clear—that the United States stil: holds firmly to its determination that “mistakes’’ of sub- marine commanders are not admissable. they are unforgiv2ble and that the Unit- ed States must cuntinue to regard a dis- cussion of the “onduct of other bellig- erents as irrelevant to its discussion of Germany's conduct. Cannot Question Good Faith. President Wilson is described by those close about him as being In a position where he cannot question the good faith of Germany’s assurances, which must Ambassador, stand or fall by the future conduct ot her submarine commanders.

MM. STEPHENS “WITH $6000 JOB Former. Mayor of East St. Louis, Once Wealthy, Is Sued by Banks. M. M. Stephens, formerly Mayor of East St. Louis: for 17 years, and now chairman of the Illinois Deep Waterways Commission at a salary of $6000 a year, is “broke,” according to a debtor's schedule filed by him yesterday with Sheriff Mellon at Belleville. However, he still occupies his $25,000 home on Pennsylvania avenue, although, according to the schedule, he has only two bank accounts, one of $1.66 and one for $1.65, and has $7.85 on hand. He for- merly was considered wealthy. Stephens’ other assets are listed as: Office furniture, 15 shares of building and loan stock, valued at $15; balance due on a note from E. L. Cragen, $600; balance on a note from J. L. Humph- rey, $653.73; 100 shares of stock in the Southern Coal, Coke and Mining Co., $3000, which is security for a note, Stephens was not in East St. Louis to- day, and Mrs. Stephens said she knew nothing of his financial affairs. She said she did not know whether her hus- band owned any real estate, and could not eay whether he was poor or wealthy. The Bank of New Athens recently got a judgment for $11,216 against Stephens, claiming that he induced it to take sec- ond mortgages, in connection with deals on the Victoria Building in St. Louis, and failed to take the mortgages off the institution’s hands at the time agreed on. Eleven other banks filed similar suits. DIES FROM A BULLET WOUND Laberer From Herculaneum Said to Mave Been Shot in Har-visonville. Il. John Juliet, 28 years old, a laborer of Herculaneum, Mo., died at the Alexian Brothers’ Hospital at 10 o'clock this morning of bullet wounds his father said he received at Har- risonville, Ill, last night. Harrisonville is across the Missis- sippi River from Herculaneum, The wounded man, who was shot in the left side, was rowed across the river in a skiff in the night and was brought to St. Louis this morning by his father, who said John had told him he was shot in a saloon and had named his assailant. This informa- tion was forwarded to Harrisonville | for further investigation. Mexicans Go to Germany.

The aerial bomb sensation discovered over night by the police. centered in the person of Albert Herzog of Plainfield, N. J., came to earth this morning with a thud and proved to ve such a poor bomb that it would noz even sizZz. Herzog awoke in the Central Dis- trict holdover with a very disagreeable taste in his mouth and a hazy recollec- tion of the events of the night and made haste to deny that he was a Ger- man spy engaging men to make ex- plosives in an aerial bomb factory “somewhere on the Pacific of Atlantic Coast.”’ Registered Another Name. Herzog was arrested last night at the Merchants’ Hotel, where he was registered under the name of Dr. Alex- ander von Humboldt of Pittsburg. This fact seemed very suspicious after Benjamin Schwartz of 1337 Semple ave- nue and Il. E. Winkler of 6208 Prescott street told the police that Dr. Alexander yon Humboldt had offered them jobs in an aerial bomb factory at $ a day. So the Herr Doctor was arrested and his suit case was seized. It was filled with small bottles of what might have been deadly explosives if it had not been morphine and heroin and other drugs, deadly enough in their way, but no good for aerial bombs. His Talk Rambled. No German spy could have talked in u more rambling fashion than the doctor talked last night, but this morning his discourse was more lucid. It consisted of a complete denial that he was an aerial bomb-maker or any other kind of bomb-maker and a complete confession that he was all too handy at mixing deadly drinks. He was strictly neutral, he declared, and for the United States first, last and all the time and the worst thing he ever did against the peace and dignity of this country was to drink more than was good for him. He used to be a druggist, he said, but he lost two drug stores by his drinking, ance and a littico rea) estate now and then. He came here, he said, to visit his wife and his father, Peter Herzog of 8219 Bailey avenue principal of the Blair Echvol, and to spare them embar- rassment on acvount of his convivial habits he had iegistered under an as- sumed name. The presence of the highly injurious but nonexplosive drugs in his sultease he explained by the statement that they were what remaiiued from his drug busi- ness and he was taking them to his brother, a druggist at Cuba, Mo. 120 Flying Machine Mfrs.

DUBLIN, May 6—It was officially an-, nounced yesterday that Maj. John Mc- Bride, the eighth leader of the Sinn Fein. rebellion to suffer death by sentence of courtmartial, has been shet. The sentences of Thomas Hunter and William Cosgrove, who were sentenced to death with Maj. McBride, were com- muted to life imprisonment. James M. Sullivan, former American Minister to the Dominican Republic, who has been imprisoned in Dublin Castle for several days on the charge of having been implicated in the Irish rebellion, said by officials. Edward L. Adams, American Consul in Dublin, has been active in behalf of Mr. Sullivan. The present favorable @t- titude of these officials apparently is due to the efforts of Mr. Adams. Joseph Plunkett, one of the leaders im the rebellion, was married an hour before he was put to death to Miss Gif- fard, sister of Mrs. Thomas MacDonagh, widow of one of the first rebels who was put to death after courtmartial. Maj. John McBride fought throughout! the Boer War with the Irish Brigade un- der Gen. Joubert. When the Boers final- ly surrendered he made ais escape and took refuge in Faris, where he later married Miss Maud Gonne, known in home rule circles in Ireland as the Irish Joan d’Are. In 190i Maj. and Mrs. Mc- Bride delivered a series of lectures in the United States on Irish polities. On their’ feturn to Paris, “Mrs. McBride sued for divorce and was granted a legal separation. McBride maintained | his interest in Irish political affairs and was always identified with the extreme or separatist faction of the Nationalist party.

PORTSMOUTH, 0O., May 6.—George Jordan, 8 years old, who told officials Wednesday that his father, Roy Jor- dan, killed his mother with a shotgun following a quarrel because she did not get up early enough to get breakfast has confessed that he shot his mogper, officials say. The officials had brought George, an- other son, and Fred, a little 3-year-old son, before the Probate Judge for further questioning when Fred innocent- ly asked George why he had killed his mother. The 8-year-old lad, when asked if the accusation was tru>s, admitted it. He said he was playing with the shotgun and did not know it was loaded. He pulled the trigger back and the con- tents of the gun were discharged into his mother’s head. Neightors found the body of Mrs. Jordan Tuesday afternoon. Four sons and the father immediately were taken into custody. Yesterday the father was formally charged with the murder. If You Wear a Watch Wear the ; sy credit terms Bros. & to. ba fies: 808 N.

LONDON, May 4-—The morning news-; papers almost without exception print editorials on the German note to Amer-| ica and express decided opinions on it. “It can only mear a break ‘between America and Germany,” says the Daily News. ‘“‘The phraseology of the German reply, which manifestly was designed to impress the German people with the justice of their cause and to throw the onus of hostile action on America, i. in itself sufficient in ite oblique but cal- culated effrontery to impel the Govern- ment of a powerful and independent people to action. “The essential fact is that America’s specific demands are at every point either completely evaded or met vy a concession so emasculated by the con- dition on which it hangs, as to ve ap- proximately a flat refusal. On a plain reading, the German note is a non-pos- sumus, and on plain reading the Amer- ican note foretold a break in diplomatic relations ag a result of non possumus. “Insolent and Cynical.” The Express characterizes the Ger-| man reply “as insolent, cynical and ais- ingenuous,”’ and declares it is an ulti- matum “because it means that unless the United States attempts to force the allies to raise the siege of Germany, Germany will continue to kill haplaz- ard. It is humbug ana an insult to American intelligence. We have brok- en no international law, but have pro- ceeded according to the recognized cus- tom of war and paid every possible re- gard to the property of neutrais, and have not imperiled neutral lives. “Germany has not the means of ught- ing at sea, according to tho rules ..nd therefore claims the right to fight against the rules and asks the United States to aid and abet her. In effect, Germany says to America: ‘You will re- fuse to sell munitions to the allies, and if you will help us to break Great Brit- ain’s power at sea, we will try not to murder any more of your eitizens.’ ”’ The Morning Post sees in the German nete an attempt to prolong the nego- tiations and to embroil England and America, while completely evading America’s categorical demands. The newspaper says. “We are not concerned to defend the British Government against willful charges and malicious accusations Lrought by Germany, further than to remark therein the pretenses so impu- dent are insult to American intelligence and to restate the obvious fact that Great Britain, after 22 months of war, not even yet hag assumed her full mar- irume rights under the law of nations.”’ Tries to Put Onus on VU. §., Germany, the editorial continues, po- litely requests the United States to re- neunce all allegiance to the law of na- tions as understood and recognized by every naval country exeept Germany and perhaps Austria, and then challenge I'rance, Russia and Great Britain. Ger- many, not content with laying down conditions, also threatens America, and the purpose of this truculence is appar- ently to force upon the United States the responsibility for breaking off diplo- matic relations, concludes the Morning Post. The Telegraph says: ‘Germany feels herself in an akward position between the determination te carry on her submarine war and a de- sire to placate criticism, and is clearly rot anxious to break off diplomatic re- lations with Washington. Hence she suggests the minimum of concessions which she hedges around with all kinds et qualifying conditions, and tries to maintain as best she can the absurd hypothesis that she {s a humane and rerciful power fighting for her life against cruel and ruthless enemies. The popition is in the last degree illogical aud absurd. "The purpose of the long rigmarole,”’ says the Daily Chronicle, “‘is simply to gain time. It adduces no new argument, it cites no unfamiliar fact or fable, it makes no offer to the United States except on terms which render it value- less. “We are told that the German Chan- cellor met the Budget Committee of the Reichstag in secret sersion, and ex- plained his policy, and the German stage manager does its best to create the im- pression that Berlin is offering wonder- ful sacrifices in its profound desire to conciliate Washington. In their sleeves, no doubt, the performers of the cynical rlay acting are laughing at the ‘idiotic Yankees’ and speculating whether the Wilson idministration will be put off once more by shadows and words.’’ The Manchester Guardian says that the effective point in the German reply is contained in the single brief prospect ix which Germany offers a further con- cession with the object of adapting sub- marine warfare to the interests of neu- trals. “Ig this likely to satisfy the United States after two previous pledges have rroven worthless?’ the Guardian asks. Regarding the German pledge as con- Citional on the modification of the Brit- ish blockade. the Guardian considers President Wilson in the right in taking the position that he must argue the British cage with Great Britain and the German case with Germany, without confusing the issue by making settle- ment of one dependent on the other. [ft continues: “The President is offered modification on lines already shown to lead nowhere, and coupled with the condition he has invariably rejected. The President's fu- ture course would appear to be marked cut for him with a clearness admitting, for a firm statesman representing a proud nation, ef no dispute.” Pageant by Bible Society.

The War Office statement of this aft- ernoon says, however, that all efforts of th: Germans to advance were checked by French guns and that a: fresh division of troops which the Ger- mans brought into action sustained great losses. Attacks north and north- west of Hill 304 were repulsed at the point of bayonets. The official statement says: “West of the Meuse the bombard- ment by the enemy with shells and heavy caliber, accompanied by the use] of suffocating gases, continued yes- terday and last night. This attack attained an unprecedented violence in the sector embracing Hill No. 304.

The resumption, ic is true, would create a situation simil- lar in character to the present, but it would be a new situation, chronological- vy and diplomatically distinct from that with which the administration has been dealing. Many of the expressions of the note are calculated to exasperate * * * | But it is no more than fair io keep in mind the circumstances that .* * © the Imperial Government * * * must take account of divided opinion in Germany. The Tribune: There is no longer even a thin disguise over German pur- pose. Plainly, brutally Mr. Wilspn and the American people are told that they must attack Great Britain or endure German terrorism. This, then, is the end. No nation can submit to such con- ditions and maintain its honor, its dig- nity or its safety. There is left to Mr. Wilson precisely one course. * * * If he falters now, if he yields, if he surrern- ders, he will make this country a Ger- man vassal; he will destroy all hold we have upon the respect of the ajvilized world, and he will take the first siep in a course which, if pursued, will in- evitably lead us to war with Great B:ttain, with France and with Russia. * * * The recall of Gerard, the dis- tatch of Bernstorff to his own country --these are the things that we can no ionger postpone. The World: The German reply to the United States is arrogunt, inso- lent and insulting. The arrogance, the insolence and the insults could all be disregarded, how- ever, if the Imperial Government had met the issue raised in the President's ultimatum. This it has not done and the German reply can be accepted only after a total and specific rejection of all the conditions that the Imperial Govern- ment seeks to impose upon the United States. The President's demand of April 18 was expressed in these words: “Unless the Imperial Government should now immediately declare and ef- abandonment of its present methods of submarine warfare against passenger and freight carrying vessels, the Government of the United States can have no choice but to sever diplo- matic relations with the German Em- pire altogether.”’ Germany, in return, undertakes to bargain with the United States for the lives of our citizens, the rights of neu- trals and the law of nations. Berlin says, in effect, that it will temporarily extend the principle of the torn and tat- tered Arabic pledge to all merchan~t ships in the war zone on condition that the United States compel the British Government to abandon blockade meth- ode which might “force the victorious armie. of the central Powers into igno- minious capitulation.’’ In the event of the refusal or the failure of the United States to alter to the substantial benefit of Germany the blockade regulations of the British Government, ‘‘the German Government would then be facing a new } situation in which it must reserve to itself complete liberty of decision.”’ “Complete liberty of decision,”’ in such circumstanhces, means the reserved right of Germany to return to indis- criminate subrnarine manslaughter whenever such a policy again suits its purpose. President Wilson, throughout the long negotiations with Germany, has stead- fastiy refused to permit the diplomatic relations between the United States and Germany to be complicated with the diplomatic relaticns between the United States and Great Britain. ' This is not the first time that Ger- many has tried to make its submarine policy contingent upon blockade di- tions wrested by the United States from Great Britain. There is nothing to be said on this point that was not in the American note of July 21, 19 “The Imperial Government will read- ily understand that the Government of the United States cannot discuss the policy of the Government of Great Brit- ain with regard to neutral trade except with that Government itself and that it must regard the conduct of other bel- ligerent Governments as irrevelant to any discussion with the Imperial Gov- ernment of what this Government re- gards as grave and unjustifiable vio- lence of the rights of American citizens by German naval commanders.” But even if it were possible for the United States to barter with Germany for the lives of neutrals and noncom- batants, the Imperial Government in its repiy to the United States takes pains to explain that too much must not be expected in the way of carrying out its pledges. “Allowances must be ey Nips ‘an atmosphere of coercion? ——— A Furthermore, we can have no right Germany’s answer may be consid- ered as a great concession t@ the United States and as a substantia! compliance with the demands of our Government as formulated in the ex- tract of the note of April 9 just quoted. It would have been much wiser if Von Jagow had intrusted this mat- ter of compelling Great Britain to respect our neui!al ::ghts to Ameri- ca’s sense of, justice.

We must remembe-~ the bitter feeling in Germany caused by our unneutral action, for we have been unneutral in permitting Great Britain to disregard our neutra! righis of commerce with Germany. We ought, therefore, as a peo- ple believing in that respect for international law which we have professed in all our notes, and recognizing that we have been wrong, to accept the German note for what it is evidently meant to be—a substantial compliance with the demands of the United States in order to prevent a rup-— ture of peace between the two Governments. If our Government pursues this wise and proper course we should at once have recourse to effec- tive measures to compel Great Britain to respect our rights and ‘No Cause for a Break, Says International Law Authority Who Is Opposed to Germany N analysis of the German note was written for the New York World by Prof. Ellery ©. Stowell, professor of international law at Columbia University. Since Germany now gives promise and in the last few days has given evidence of an intention to reform her conduct and to observe the ‘‘indisputable rules of international law and the universally recog- nized dictates of humanity’’ there is no reason why we should break with Germany until by some future act she disregards her promise. shall use provided she does not violate international law. NEW YORK, May 6. In part it follows: to dictate what weapons Germany for her part to observe the rules of international law which she has so signally and so persist- ently ignored. Unless we are ready to take such a course we ought to join England as an honest ally and cease to be a disloyal neutral. Now that Germany frankly agrees to conform to. interna- tional law, the United States is put upon its honor to take what reasonable measures we may to secure from the other side aiso an adequate recognition of our 4 - rights. Until the German question was settled we could not complicate the issue by taking any drastic action against Great Britain, but now it is our duty to do every- ‘thing in our power to secure the recognition of our rights. Unless we do so, it may fairly be looked upon as an unfriendly act against Germany. If we refuse to accept the note our Government will make clear that it refers to join Germany's enemies. This is a political ques- tion which the American people have a right to decide. I believe it would be a very serious matter for Germany to win in this war, and I think the United States ought to join the allies rather than permit Ger- many to be victorious; but ‘we should make the issue clear and be honest. If we really wish to be neutral, we have an opportunity now. If we do not wish to be neutral, jet us join the allies against Germany, as we ougbrt to have done when Germany invaded Belgium. the conduct of naval warfare against an enemy resorting to all kinds of ruses, whether permissible or illicit.” “Naval warfare, just like warfare on land, implies unavoidable dangers for neutral persons and goods entering into the fighting zone.’’ In other words, the United States is invited to a new trial of hope over experience. As to how Germany might construe this new pledge we can determine from the manner in which Germany has con- strued previous pledges. The attack on the Sussex was a flagrant violation of the pledge mada in the Arabic case that— “Liners will not be sunk by our sub- marines without warning and without safety of the lives of noncombatants, provided the liners do not try to escape or offer, resistance.”’ What @irect benefits are likely to be derived . from Germany’s contingent promise to extend this pledge to all merchant ships, provided the United States makes itself Germany’s ally in resisting the British blockade Shall we fare any better than we did before? Will the “accidents” continue as here- tofore with Germany assuring us that ite orders are always “executed in goo) faith” and that the American witnesses are probably Hars or worse? How much potrage are we to get for selling our birthright to German,;? What is to be our actual reward in the} way of immunity from murder if we seek to carry out the agreement that Germany demands and give to all our subsequent relations with Great Britain We can- not come to Germany’s terms, even re sardless of the previous attitude of the United States Government, without jus- tifying the belief that in all our futute negotiations with Great Britain in re- spect to trade interests we are acting not as the spokesman for internationas law and neutral rights, but as the spokesman for the Kaiser. In return for that priceless privilege we are io have another German promise with --t thai a German promise implies. Answer Is Unacceptable. _ The American people can accept the German answer as it stands if they like. They can find enough in it cw wriggle out of a hole if they are trying to wriggle out of a hole. They can pre- tend to be satisfied that Germany has yielded unreservedly to America’s de mands. They can continue their benev- olent policy of hoping for the best and fearing the worst. They can even delude themselves inio believing that there is some way »/ playing a sharp Yankee trick on the German Government by which Germasy will keep its part of a disgraceful ba:- gain and we shall avoid keeping our part. For itself, the World prefers tu face the facts. Germany has met the President’s de- mands by seeking to impose demands of its own. Germany has fulfilled the con- ditions of the American ultimatum by endeavoring to make the United States Berlin’s agent. If we accept Germany's answer at its face value the victory will be Germany’s victory, the surrender will be an American surrender, and the United States will have entered into partnership with the Kaiser in the name of “humanity and civilization." Tomorrow is the anniversary of the sinking of the Lusitania, Its dead wom- en and children are still unavenged. There has been no day of atonement. There has been no apology, no repare- tion—not even an acknowledgment of wrong on the part of the perpetrators of that massacre. Are the American people prepared to celebrate that slaugh- ter of the innocents by becoming the moral ally of the «empire whose hands are still red with American blood? The Worl does not believe it. In so] far as the German Government prom- ises to pring its submarine warfare into harmony with law, the United States need not quibble about bad manners or grudging concessions. This country is infinitely more concerned about Ger- many’s actions than about Germany’s words. If Germany hereafter abides by the law that Germany now recognizes as the law, the past situation adjusts it- self. But there can be no bargain with international crime—no buying of im- munity from German manslaughter by no traffic in the rights of mankind. All that part of the German reply which contemplates an ailiance between Germany and the United States to break a British blockade that Germany herself cannot break is impossible. It is un-. thinkable. To grant it would put a stain on the honor of the United States that could never be erased. What Germany has yielded she must yield in obedience to law, not for the ex- pected benefits of barter. That and that alone must be the American attitude. “Immediate abandonment” is what the President demanded, and “immediate abandonment” it must be, without con- dition and without qualification. The Times: The one question. the all-important matter is, will Germany stop destroying the lives of innocent noncombatants at sea? Does this ‘note assure us that our citizens may in se- curity make the passage across the ocean? If this be the real meaning of the note Mr. Wilson has gained his point. The President will strain every point save that of honor and of right to avoid a break. If he construes the note as a whole to mean that Germany has declared and effected the abandon- ment of its present methods of subma- rine warfare, he cannot in justice and in consistence refuse to accept it as satis- factory, even though it is not respon- sive to the express terms.of the note of April 18. The country has confidence in his wisdom, in his judgment—it knows that he is most anxious to avoid any trouble with Germany. That has been proved beyond all cavil. If he ac- cepts the note as a compliance, we are sure he will have the country’s devout prayers that his decision may be sae fled by its results. The Herald: There is no way out of the difficulties of the United States with Germany except through Germany abandoning its illegal use of the sub- marine. This it will not do. The break seems bound to come in the very nature of things. It would, perhaps, be better to have it come now. The Press: Germany explicitly agrees to the demands of President Wil- son—for the time being. This is done ungraciously, with bitter recriminations, but with a quite deliberate parade of turbulence. Nevertheless, it is done and we can make allowances. : New York American: Germany has yielded to our demands. Now make En- gland obey international law and re- spect our rights. Any other course will convict us in the eyes of the world of maintaining a sham neutrality. Any other course will put us in the wrong and put Germany in the pight. Any other course will be a square denial of fair play. Evening Post: First impressions of today’s German note, in reply to that of our Government, will inevitably be displeasing. The document seems ito have been deliberately composed so as to be, in manner, as unsatisfying as possi- ble. The form is bad. The whole tone is grudging and unbandsome. But it is the business of diplomacy to pierce to the substance. Bad manners can be overlooked if the essential thing in con- troversy is conceded. The German Gov- ernment makes damnable faces all through its note, but the centra] thing required by President Wilson it yields. PAPERS DISAGREE. OVER SUFFICIENCY LL Editorial Comment Throughout Country Shows Widely Di- versified Opinions. TENSION IS LESSENED Some Think Necessity of Break Has Passed—Others Assert — It Is Inevitable. The following comment from news- papers throughout the country on the German note has been sbitirtice: by the Post-Dispatch: Los Angeles (Cal.) “xpress: We think that Germany has fairly met the issue presented. Salt Lake Tribune: [f the German reply requires an answer a breach of relations may be inevitable, for in an answer the United States Government would be compelled to declare that it could not accept a conditional promise. Salt Lake Herald-Republican: Ger- many’s reply is unworthy the great Government from which it emanates and unworthy the serious considera- tion of the great Government to which it is directed. Where it is not sophistry it is mockery. Baltimore Sun: Knowing the diffi- culties with which the German Govern- ment is contending, we can well afford to overlook what in other circumstances would be presumption or impudence. Cincinnati Times-Star: Despite the different interpretations of which it is capable: ,despite its occasional gruffness in tone and the irritation which plainly lies back of it, the German reply prob- ably means that we are in no immediate danger of war with Germany over the submarine question. Cincinnati -Commercial - Germany has made concessions cally complying with American mands. . Pittsburg Velksblatt and Frehits- Freund: Germany has conceded the vital point in President Wilson’s de- mand, and in return asks nothing but a square-deal. Can we refuse that? Baltimore American: Berlin has let iigelf down easily, but not gracefully, nor satisfactorily. But it invites this country to construe its answer as satis- factory, and this the country, in due course, will do. Chicago Tribune: The German note embodies the essential concession to ‘the demand of the latest American note on submarine operation. This concession is conditional, but its im- mediate effect is to bring about the cessation of submarine operations outside of the lines laid down in our successive protests. inois Staats Zeitdng (Chicago): We are convinced that President Wil- son, before reaching a decision for peace or war will divest himself of his pro-British sentiments and will take counsel with his sense of jus- tice and equity and after an honest and serious consideration of all the facts in the case will come to the con- clusion that the submarine war is not the cause, but the consequence— the illogical, unavoidable consequence of illegal causes and that it is there- fore not within his province to de- mand, without regard to Germany’s rights, the unconditional removal of the consequence without an attempt to provide for the removal of the cause of the evil.” Louisville Courier-Journal: It (the German response) would be satisfactory to Americans but for two considerations. Tribune: practi- de- good faith * * * the other is that even if she means this time to keep her word and observe the law, her admission that she will hold herself at liberty to go back to lawbreaking unless we succeed in our efforts to make Great Britain ob- serve the law. ° Philadelphia Evening Bulletin: The President may accord full faith to the orders which have been given to the German fleet and accept the compli- ance in fact, with definite warning to the Kaiser that no excuse or no plea of error can intervene to prevent any future violation of the pledge being re- garded as an act deliberately hostile to the United States and involving all the consequences of such an offense. Philadelphia Enquirer: Germany's answer to the note of the United States is no answer at all. It is an address meant for public consumption rather than a diplomatic document. San Francisco Chronicle: The vast majority of the American people, more desirous of preserving peace than con- cerned with the technicalities of inter- national law, will be quietly pleased to note that other days and other messages must intervene before there can be ary rupture with any European belligerent. Des Moines Register: Germany’s reply to President Wilson's ultimatum contains the full and complete assurance demanded by the President—with a ques- tion mark before it and a trailer on behind. | Chicago Herald: The German Gov- ernment demands that we compel Brit- ain to raise her starvation blockade, though incessantly and vociferously de- nying that Germany is or can be “starved” by it. Official Germany calls upon us, in fact, to fight the British navy, if necessary, lest “women and children shall be starved” * * * Of course that is precisely what Germany aid at the siege of Paris, but the wom- en ané children starved there were not German. : Milwaukee Free Press: It has long been the conviction of millions of Ameri- can citizens that the Wilson administra- tion should in fairness, in neutrality and in protection of our rights and inter- ests, proceed: just as Grastically against OF GERMAN NOTE One is that Germany is a bankrupt :n: : a a | Britain otherwise than as separate cases v Poll of 132 Papers Shows 74 Oppose Note, 28 Approve It , NEW YORK, May 6. | UT of 132 representative O American newspapers, polled by the Times from their editorial comment today, 74 consider the German reply to the United States on the submarine situation as unsatisfactory, 28 approve of it and 30 are noncom- mittal. The eastern portion of the South shows more hostility to the German note than any other section. The Sun says: “In the press of the country the prevailing editorial opinion is that Ger- many’s reply has substantially met President Wilson's demands.” New York German-American papers hold that Germany has complied with American. de- demands and urge steps against Great Britain’s blockade policy. the violations of Great Britain as against those of Germany. Milwaukee Sentinel: Our Govern- ment can hardly treat its case against Germany and its case against Great and there it must play no favorites. * * * This controversy must be settled on the American side by statesmanship at Washington and not by imperfectly informed editorial clamor. Louisville Anzeiger: The German answer to the last American note is a clear, frank and fearless exposition not only of the German Government, but even more of German public opinion in regard to the questions at issue, espe- cially in regard to international law and its just administration. Omaha (Neb.) Bee: We must con- fess that the note is sufficiently diplo- matic to permit of construction one way or the other, according to bias or de- sire, Lincoln (Neb.) State Journal: Whether Germany will obey the law incidentally is a proper subject for fur- ther diplomatic inquiry. Rocky Mountain News (Denver): From the political point of view, as wel! perhaps as from the department diplo- matic standpoint, the Wilson admin- istration has added something to its prestige as a result of the publication. of the German answer to the Sussex note. The danger of war has been averted. * * * And there will be more diplomat- ic writing. Indianapolis Star: Probably our Government, anxious to keep the peace, will hold that after all its demands on Germany was more for deeds than words and that deeds must now be awaited as the determinant of our course. Detroit Free Press: The note which President Wilson sent to Berlin two weeks ago was an ultimatum. Germany now has replied with a demand that the United States make itself an active ally of the central empires as the price of any sort of consideration. Portiand (Ore.) Oregonian: The note is technical compliance with the President’s demand, but that compl'- ance is, by implication, conditional on our inducing the allies to modify their blockade in conformity with the Ger- man—not the American—construction of international law. , Boston Herald: While Germany’s reply to Preside:.t Wilson’s ultimatum contains much that is irritating and more that is irrelevant, its general ef- fact as disclosed in its concluding pledge constitutes a distinct compliance with the American demands and so’ proves a triumph for the Fresident’s course. Portland (Me.) Press: The reply cannot be regarded as wholly satisfac- tory nor will it admit of President Wil- son’s claiming that Germany has com- pletely reversed her avowed policies, but it will not bring matters to a crisis immediately. Savannah Morning News: Whatev- er the President’s decision, the coun- try will resent some statements in the note. Cleveland Leader: Peace—for the present at least—may fairly be counted upon as the fruit of the German reply. Cleveland in Dealer: Today President Wass an his advisers are facing a grave ision. Does this note, with its evidence of having been written largely for the edification of German readers, open the way for further nego- -tiations? Baltimore German C The German Government elds to President Wilson's demands. That brings a great relief to the American people. Philadelphia Public er: Not even the warmest partisan of the Pres- ident, not -even the staunchest friends of Germany, can find in the latest note from Berlin a complete compHance witi\ the demands of the United States. Boston Post: The reply, while not a complete surrender or entirely sat- isfactory to what may be conceived to be the sentiment of this country, does open the door to continued peaceful relations. Philadelphia Morgen Gazette: From the reply of the German Government apears plainly that Germany is de- termined to go to the extreme limit to prevent a breach with the United States. Charleston News and Courter: Whether the United States will pro- ceed now to take drastic action or delay action until events have proved the ineffectiveness of Germanys as- surances 's a matter of policy which the President is best fitted to decide. Macon Telegraph: The German note is unequfvocal and leaves no option with America except a severance of relations. Nevada State Journal (Reno): Ger- many’s answer to the United States ultimatum ts a dignified plea that the United.

He _ dis- posed of the matter with a single line referring his readers to previous editorials for his opinion. The Kreuz Zeitung also declines to criticise. What Lokal Anzeiger Says. The Lokal Anzeiger, however, prints the following significant comment: “Judging by what we have been able to learn concerning the spirit of the German answer to America, we cherisn t'-- -xpectation that the sense of justice the American people, which was em- phasized' in the American note, will come into its own. ’ “The concession made by Germany in this connection is naturally as the dig- nity of the empire demands, solely born out of the consciousness of German strength, German successes and the jus- tice of our cause. The German stand- point can less be subjected to just crit- icism because of the fact that, to the best of our knowledge, it rests upon the basis of written international law and humanity repeatedly emphasized wy America.”” — On the whole the German press ap- pears satisfied with the tenor of the re- ply from Berlin, although there are in- dications that the attitude of the news- papers is not wholly uninspired. The Vossische Zeitung, one of the few pa- pers to comment at length on the Ger- man reply, says: Last German Concession. “The note is inspired by a sincere wish to avoid a break with the United States. The Government in ignoring the tone of President Wilson’s note has gone straight to the point wherein there is a possibility of an agreement by offer- ing to conduct the submarine campaign within the limits of antebellum interna- tional law. This is the last and furthest concession that Germany tan make.” The Taegliche Rundschau, while ex- pressing the opinion that the note should bave taken a different character, urges that the expression of divergent views ig warranted at this moment, and that everybody should subordinate his own judgment and stand behind the Govern- ment. “After Germany has undertaken this doubly difficult sacrifice,” Says this paper, “Germans are entitled _to expect America to keep her promise to restore the freedom of the seas as against all belligerents. It is now up to the Amer- ican people to show before all the world whether their purpose was to protect the rights of humanity or to act as En- giand’s ally, with a view to cripple us and frustrate our victory.” The Berlin Tageblatt contents itself with summarizing the’'main points of the note and expressing hope that it will attain its aim in. preventing war with America. NOTE MAY LEAD TO PEACE TALK London Papers Think Subject Was Discussed by Kaiser and Gerard. LONDON, May 6.—The Daily News gives a prominent place in today’s is- sue to a long dispatch from, Rotterdam asserting that there is a strong belief in Holland that the German note to the United States was carefully prepared in the hope that it may lead eventually to peace negotiations. The dispatch says: “There is & belief here that behind the whole cloud of vague and condition. al promises lies the hope that negotia- tions for peace will be opened with En- gland through the mediation of the United States. According to this view, Germany hopes that Washington will open a discussion first on the question of contraband and the naval blockade which will widen by easy stages to eventually discussion of possible peace conditions. It is believed that Miisemises Gerard, during his recent visit to the Kaiser’s headquarters at the front discussed matters far wider in range than merely the question at issue between Berlin and Washington. The Daily News correspondent also says that the Wolf Bureau sen: out an article this week in which an anony- mous neutral discusses the relations be- tween Germany and the United States has an opportunity to lay the founda- tions for peace negotiations. This arti- cle appeared in the same issue of the German newspapers with the text of the reply to the American note. It says: “This appears to be the historic op- portunity for America. If the United States maintains an equally firm posi- tion against the starvation of Germany as against the German submarine war- fare, then there will be an opening dor the belligerents to consider how they can end this miserable war.’’ past 100 years disturbed during this crisis in Germany’s fight for existence. Seattle (Wash.) Times: Germany does not accede to President Wilson's demands. Instead the Imperial Gov- ernment has made an answer cleverly designated to involve the United States in further diplomatic discussion. Spokane (Wash.) Chronicle: It is doubtful if the American Government will consider the reply satisfactory. Portland (Ore.) Teegram: In other words, Germany is still to remain sole judge both of the efforts and the re- sult of the efforts of this Government to stand for itself and the other neu- trals, and in the event those results are not satisfactory to it, it will hold tiself free to resume or maintain such courses on the high seas as to it may. seem called for by the attuation then presented. Duluth Herald: The decision is with Woodrow Wilson, If he can find in this note the possibility. of continuing cordial relations with Germany while preserving the nationa’s self-respect, ev- ery American will rejoice. Dallas (Tex.) Morning News: Ger- many has yielded to the demands of the United States. It has yielded to them completely but grudgingly. _ San Antonio (Tex.) Express: The price of Germany’s complete, lasting compliance with the demands of Presi- dent Wilson's ultimatum against inhu- mane and lawless submarine warfare, it appears, is President Wilson’s success in diplomacy that seeks to terminate the lawless, but not inhumane actions of Great Britain against neutral commerce. Fort Worth (Tex.) Record: Ger- many has replied to ‘America’s last word.”’ She promises to warn merchant ships before attacking them. Let us continue to fill war orders and let us have peace.

How many times have we heard this expres- sion, “St. Louis can't hold a candle alongside of Chicago,” and other similar expressions. — ~Doe you think for a moment your employers]. would tolerate such utterances concerning the ‘firm. you are working for? They expect you to be leyal, as does St. Louis, the city in and for ' which wou are working. If you are not acquainted with the good fea- tures and advantages of St. Louis, learn them and tell everybody about them. Should you be for- tunate enough to see something wrong with St. canis and you think you can suggest some rem- edy. write to any civic organization of this city, which there are many, and oxplain to them Sust™ what you think. If your suggestions are ,Beed ones, and’ consistent, most likely they will _ be. epee due consideration. all means be loyal and optimistic toward “Sour city. St. Louis needs more loyal, optimistic boosters, and public-spirited citizens, especially The Post-Dispatch believes it to be clearly the desire of the American people and clearly the duty of the administration that the administra- tion accept the promises of the German Govern- ment with regard to their future conduct o% sub- marine warfare, in entire good faith. In our last note, of April 19, we said: * Unless the Imperial Government should now immediately declare and effect an aban- donment of its present methods of subma- rine warfare against passenger and freight carrying vessels, the Government of the United. States can have no ‘choice but to sever diplomatic relations with the German: empire altogether. — | In the German reply, of May 5, Germany says: In accordance with the general principles of visit and search and the destruction of merchant vessels recognized by interna- tional law, such vessels, both within and without the area declared a naval war zone, SHALL NOT BE SUNK WITHOUT WARN- ING AND WITHOUT SAVING HUMAN LIVES, unless the ship attempts to escape or offers resistance. Here is our demand, and here is their reply. As we see it, that ends the matter for the time being. Gerard should not be recalled; Von Bern- storff should not be sent home. Germany should be given the opportunity to do what she has promised to do. It is true that the German note contains several amounts to little less than impertinence. But we believe that the United States is big enough and brave enough and generous enough to overlook these paragraphs, and in overlooking them to re- member that they come from a nation harassed and endangered on all sides, which,,to use the words of its own note, “is fighting a bitter strug- gle for national existence,” a struggle in which the German people, excepting only the submarine, have found their navy, of which they had been led to expect so much, virtually impotent. In the concluding paragraph of Germany’s note she says that she is “confident that * * * and does not doubt that the Government of the United States will now demand and insist that the Brit- ish Government shall forthwith observe the rules of international law” and she goes on to say that “shoutd the steps taken by the Government of the United States. not.attain the object it desires * * * the German Government would then be facing a new situation, in which it must reserve to itself complete liberty of decision.” : Several American newspapers, including the New York World, regard this concluding para- graph as expressing only conditional compliance. The Post-Dispatch believes that we can and should ignore this unfortunate phrase and set it down as having been written primarily for the benefit of the German people at home. Only the future can tell what it means, if it means anything. And if templated by the St. Louis & San Francisco Rail- | {should be permitted that will probably cause offensive paragraphs, the phraseology of which} Way Co. will add to the flood danger.

We already learn, however, that access to its public records is ar- rogantly refused; that State-paid trips to the San Francisco Exposition were undertaken by some of its officials under circumstances making the expenditure questionable and perhaps illegal; that high-bred bull calves and heifers and costly fur- niture that ought to have remained on the institu- tion’s inventories were shipped to members. of. ita | Board of Control and other officials. | No graft on a big, man’s size scale is charged; only a disposition shown in petty, contemptible ‘ways to run the institution for the benefit of the politicians, rather than of the pathetic victims of the tubercular scourge, for whom the taxpay- ers established it. The management is not to be judged harshly. Wasn't it to be expected that even an institution sacred to misfortune would re- flect the spirit of Jefferson City? | After the: late Governor's retirement, the namé of Hadley Cottage was changed at a considerable cost for a new stone slab and new carving. over the doorway. Could anything be more deliciously characteristic of the motives and the breadth of ideas nowgfound in State affairs? The remedy for the blight of gangster politics that has spread over the State and its business and institutions is simple and effective. Turn the gangsters out. = * 7 he ene THE LAWYERS’ 100 PER. CENT. As far as Mrs. Marie Romani is concerned, it would have’been better if her husband, Raffaele, had not been killed in an Illinois coal mine. If he had not been killed he would be earning something. As it is, all that Mrs. Romani has is a verdict. The jury said she could have $5000, but one lawyer claims 50 per cent and another 25 per cent and another 25 per cent, which makes 100 per cent, and that’s about all the per cent there is: So Mrs. Romani is inclined to think that it would have. been better if Raffaele had stayed. It is a good thing for the lawyers, of course, that he was blown up in the mine, but they had never done anything for him and he had no rea- son to put them in the way, by his violent death, of picking up $5000. However, after the funeral, the lawyers sued. By and by there was a verdict for $5000. The coal company was getting ready to pay when one of the lawyers served notice that he had a claim for 50 per cent of the judgment. Another lawyer served notice that 25 per cent was coming to him and still another lawyer sent word that he had a perfectly good claim to 25 per cent. They were all willing, it seemed, for the widow to have all over 100 per cent. The thing did not look exactly right to the coal company. It has asked the courts to solve the problem in percentage. Mrs. Romani, unused to the contingencies of contingent-fee American jurisprudence, wants.to] know where.she comes.in. The answer is sim- ple. Nowhere. The lawyers come in for her. It is lucky for her theré is only 100 per cent. As it | Pe ag AE ae eR cl a 7 as BAS Pee we fos ea es Ae EQ IDAGETA ¢ 8TIRED IOS SII!

We also like ‘‘Waiting in line at box office for tickets,’’ a purely gratuitous service except for the pay. There is no fun in it. We regret not find- ing in the list ‘‘Keeping score for persons not under- standing baseball very well,’’ and similar services, making reasonable concession to what a boy likes, but we imagine these are to come.

The period during which it was proved that the railroads are not bigger than the people and the people’s Government seems to have passed leaving the Louisville & Nashville unreconstructed, un- regenerate and unreconciled. At the Interstate Commerce Commission inquiry into its huge cam- paign subscriptions and wholesale issuance of passes to influence politics, President Smith said: All legislative bodies are a menace. In action they are a calamity. They are many and numerous and we have troutle at times with all of them, beginning with Congress and going on down the line to the town council. We must do what we can to con- ciliate them all. We have to protect our- selves. Mr. Smith is a fine, old, well-crusted railroad magnate of the old school. Some railroad men may still be thinking this, but nearly all of them stopped saying it ten or fifteen years ago. i A Ae. — — = CONTINUOUS CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN. If we could make the St. Louis Continuous Clean-up and Paint-up Campaign really a contin- uous performance, it would not only accomplish much good for the city in the way of sightliness and better health, but it would advertise St. Louis as a metropolis that was most desirable as a lo- cation, either for busfness“or residence. The women pushing this: campaign. hope not only to exterminate the disease-bearing fly, but to clean up, cultivate, beautify and make useful the vacant lots, and put up artistic drinking foun- tains wherever they are needed. This is an ambitious plan and deserves the hearty support of citizens of all classes. Its suc- cess will benefit everyone. Monday is the first day of the special Clean- up Week. A good beginning will be made during that week, but there will be plenty of work to be done later. For that, however, money as well as enthusiasm will be needed. It should be forth. coming. Let everyone who can do so contribute } to this effort to brighten and beautify St. Louis. = = — se TRISH REBELS AND GEN. FRENCH. Four prisoners, Joseph Plunkett, Edward Daly, Michael O’Hanrahan and.

[some "READERS' _DAILY MAGAZINE ~ — An Old Love Story of the Battle-Scarred Land of Champagne (Playwrights, authors and poets find a deep fount of inspiration and story in the troubadour literature of the Middle Ages. nese tales are the French tales of the thirteenth century, and from one of them is taken the story presented today. the Champagne from Soissons to Rheims where now a long line is held desperately by French and Germans who are face to face, and, in some parts, almost within touch of each other.) ESSIRE WILLIAM knight of Champagne who was honored by all men who prized truth and pobility. His fortune, how- ever, did not equal his merit. He pos- gessed a castle, it is true; but the only acome. he had was obtained painfully ‘; tournaments, out of the ransoms of kis overthrown adversaries. ‘ He owned only one thing that was valuable. It was his horse. Gray it was, flower-bright of coat. Never had men seen another such steed, so proud, so impetuous and yet so dainty of foot. Men near and far coveted it and offered M him wealth for it, but he would not lis- | knight and as be- ten. Between these two, horse, there was a great love, tween brothers. Poor as he was, Messire William set his heart on the daughter of the richest lord in all the Champagne. She was as good as she was beautiful, which is no scanty praise, since the minstrels all sang that she was in truth part and parcel of the loveliness of their land. She gave her heart to the tall, splen- did knight, but never could they meet. Her father kept her close, never per- mitting her to pass from the battle- ments and walled gardens. Still the knight rode to her castle every day, and every day they saw each other and talked love, though they could converse only through a gap in the masonry of a great wall. Although he well knew the futility of it, Messire William ventured at last to ask her father for her hand. “Think you I am so besotted as to give my child to a knight who lives by play?’ roared the old man. “She shall marry mo beg- -gar!-I have not yet found the man, ftom Solssons to Rheims; and from Rheims to Chalons, or rrom Lorraine to Germany, who is rich enough*“to match me! This fruit is too high for your seeking!” “Cursed be your father’s wealth!” said the knight when he saw his sweetheart again. “I would go with; you gladly, and be a beggar!’ said she. ‘““‘But my father is old, "and prayers will not move him. for age and vouth cannot understand each other. Yet I would counsel you. Have you not an uncle, fully as rich as ‘my father? And do these two not great- ly honor each other? Why do you not ride to him-and ask for his interces- sion?’ The knight took courage and rode to his aged relative, who not only agreed to help him, but started at once, telling the knight to return to his own castle.

Chapter XXXI. o ARION LAWRENCE had decided Vi ‘. have a picnic in the woods about a mile distant from the village. Jane and Robert were at break- fast when the invitation came. “IT suppose because I said I was going to give some picnics this summer ani had not done so because YOU won't al- low me to keep a maid, she ts going to show me that she can entertain any way she pleases! If I had her money . d show her!”’ “Shall we go?’ Robert asked, ing Jane’s remarks. ‘You're perfectly willing to go to Ma- rion Lawrence's parties, I see. If it were one of my friends you'd probably find some excuse.. No, I shall not go. You can do as you please!” “Well, as you give me no reason for not accepting Marion’s invitation, and as she is an old friend and the affair is to be on Saturday afternoon, ani will not interfere with business in an; way, I shall go. I wish you would re- consider and go, too. I’m sure you would enjoy it. and a cay in the woods will do us both good.” “I shall not change my mind. You can make my excuses. I’m sure they will be accepted.’ Robert Decides to Go. NY oo well, Jane. But . appointed. I’m sorry fuse to be friends with Marion. She's a good sort and you would be hap- pier with such a woman for a friend. I know she feels badly because you are so determined to dislike her.”’ “That’s all you know about it!’ she snapped; then more quietly, ‘“‘we'll not talk about it any longer, if you please. I’m tired of the place and every one in agg ‘Me included?’’ Robert asked, trying to speak lightly but inwardly wondering what had changed Jane so completely. “Perhaps I wouldn’t be if you treated me differently. If you cared a single bit for me you'd try to make me happy.” “TI do try, Jane. Sometimes 1 wonder, just why I don't succeed.’ “If you call it trying, I don't! Living in a stupid little place like this, no place to go, no money to buy clothes with, no servant! I'd like toxkknow what there is you do to make me happy?” “Will vou write to Marion?’ Robert said, as he laid the invitation to the picnic back on the table. Robert Departs Angry. é6 DON’T think that necessary. You | can telephone your acceptance, and at the same time make my excuses,”’ Jane replied. “Very well, I'll @o so,” and Robert left the house, an angry red coloring his cheeks. Left alone, Jane sat long before the disordered breakfast table. A thought which for days had been whirling in her brain was insistently protruding itself. Subconsciously for days she had been turning it over and over, but as yet had not realized she was thinking of it se- riously. Instinct or intultiod had warned Jane to say nothing more just then to her husband of the difference that had tak- en place in her mental attitude. It was her affair, and hers only. That Robert would be shocked, perhaps hurt, was to be expected. But if he could do nothing for her, he shouldn't make a fuss if she did for herself!

A dashing young chap, silk hat a bit down over one eye, shirt front glistening in the electric light, and a trace of a stagger’in his walk as, with a bored air, he signals a taxi with his little yellow cane. However that may be, clubs them- selves are very old, though not just the kind we have today. The Greeks were fond of their clubs, but most of them were organized for religious purposes. The Government used to pay for the temples of all the official gods, but if you couldn't pick one from the list you’d have to dig up your own money to help support an cutsider. They were particularly strong on burial societies; everyone wanted to be nicely tucked away, Dut there was little or no benevolent work. There were trade guilds and eating clubs and some pretty warm political societies in Athens. Aristotle mentions un oath of an oligarchic club: “T will be an enemy to the people and devise all the harm I can against them.” Reads like a campaign speech against the trusts a few years ago. A for every kind of worker and near- «worker, including the poets. The political clubs admitted that they were ‘out to get results by fair means or foul: and, as might be expected, they were caarged .with some pretty rough work. They annoyed Julius Caesar 80 much taat he abolished the whole outfit of them. The Romans were very keen, too, on Lurial societies. After a while the guilds began to go in stronger and stronger for the social side. They hit on u neat little dodge, which is carried on Yo thia day. They'd elect some rich fel- low as patron and he’d build a club house for the privilege of carving his name above the door. The modern idea of social clubs is rather new. They were built up in En- giand and the oldest known was the Count de Bonne Compagnie, started back in the fifteenth century. Sir Walter Raleigh got up one that met at the Mermaid Tavern; and it had a splendid list of members: Shakspeare, Be®umont end Fle‘cher were on the roll! S for the Romans, they had a guild hl al ancestors of our modern T clubs didn’t become popular, how- ever, until the old London coffee houses opened up in earnest. Addison and Steele wrote in the Spectator and the Tatler about the meetings they went to. There weren't any regular ciubrooms, but each get of fellows would meet in a particular coffee house, like the Cocoa Tree or White’s. Soma polit- ical clubs were started and they caused so much trouble that Charles II issued an order to put them out of business. But such a roar went up that he had to take it back. Sir Walter Scott and Thomas Moore started the Athaenaeum, which is still one of the classiest clubs in London. Travelers who have been all over the world claim that men everywhere have some sort of a place to go to on their nights out. The coffee house voys who started the modern style of club didn’t pretend to get togéther for much be- sides eating and drinking—chiefly drink- iug, for these were convivial days. window. A policeman rushed up. he was the offender. The policeman thought he was lying and sprinted off in pursuit of a man half a block away who was running to catch a car. Fear gripped Soap. It seemed he could not get himself arrested, that all the New York police force was in ‘league to leave him alone. But he tried once more. First making sure a policeman was in sight, he sidled up to a pretty girl and spoke insult- ingly to her. She merely laughed. The policeman yawned and strolled away. Soapy's board and chances of getting free lodging for the winter looked dark. He next tried to create a disturbance by yelling at the top of his lungs and causing a crowd to col- lect. A policeman glanced at him, de- cided he was a college toy celebrat- ing a football victory and looked the other way. In utter despondency, Soapy slouched out of Broadway and into ae ecross street. Alimlessly he rambled on, un- til he reached the Little Church Around the Corner. The church was softivy lighted. The organist was playing an anthem. S iron railings, and listened. He remembered that anthem. He remembered it from the days when he still had a mother and ‘riends and ambitions. The music stole into his heart, stirring strange m-cmories and stranger yearnings. All at once, under the anthem's spell, he realized how worthless and contemptible was his present life. He longed to be a man again—respected, self-respecting, with a place of his own in the world. And gradually the longing crystallized into a resolve. He vowed he would turn his back on the tramp existence he had been leading. He knew where he could get a job. Tomorrow he would apply for it. And he would forthwith begin a new and better life. The resolution gave him a feeling of exultant happiness. He looked back with loathing on his misspent years. In future he would Just then a policeman happened along. Seeing the tramp leaning against the church railings, he de- cided Soapy was e« Cera charac- ter. So he arrested him.

MOUNT VERNON, Mo., May 6.—The Lawreriee County grand jury, which will bé iff session here Monday, will begin pp ie fate investigation of the man- sent, financial and disciplinary, of the Missouri State Sanitorium for Incip- fent Pulmonary Tuberculosis. Several subpéefhas. wére issued today at the re- quest of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Robert Stemmons, who announced that he would conduct the inquiry. The progecutor refused to divulge the mames of the witnesses summoned, but it wai learned from other sources that all. the members of the Board of Man- agers of the sanitorium were named in the subpenas, as well as several others eonfiected with the sanitorium.

Alderman Luke E. Hart of the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the Board of Aldermen yesterday by President Hall; in the face of bitter opposition which lasted until the hour of meeting. The chairman of this committee ranks next to the president and would succeed to that office in the event ofa vancancy under the board rules. He presides in the absence of the presi- dent. Alderman Hart was deposed as chairman of the committee by Alder- man Haller, a few days ago, when the latter was elected president at the beginning of the session, and resent- ment gf this was one of the factors which led to the removal of Haller and the election of Hall to succeed him as president. Alderman Haller had explained his removal of Hart was because he con- sidered Hart to have acted with im- propriety in representing the Parker- Washington Co., as attorney, and ap- pearing before the Board of Public Service to assist the company in get- ting a switch permit that was opposed by the School Board. This argument also was used by Alderman Udell and others who urged President Hail to keep Hart off the Ways and Means Committee. Alder- man Hart has explained since that he Was not the attorney for the Parker- Washington Co., last November when | he adxocated granting the switch permit, but became the-company’s at- terney in February when its counsel was forced to resign +o devote him- self to other business. | Fought by Udell. Alderman Udell, while campaigning to have Hart removed from the Ways and Means Committee, was being ac- tively pushed by business men and Aldermen for the chairmanship of the same committee. Alderman Gus Baur voluntarily resigned from the com- mittee in favor of Udell at the request of business men. Hall alse added Aldermen Koenig and Bergt to the Ways and Means Commit tee under the rule just adopted to in- crease membership of the standing com. mittees from five to seven. Aldermar Renick is now the only member of the committee whose relations with Har: are cordial, and Aldermen are predic:- ing that the sessions of this committee are likely to be belligerent. Aldermar Eilers and Rudolph are the other two members. Alderman Kralemann was dropped from membership on the Public Utilities committee, where he had served tke past session with Alderman Hamps, with whom he shares offices in the tr- surance brokerage business.

The measure is similar to one which previously passed the House, but failed. Under its terms the leprosarium would be open td all infected with the disease. The leprosarium would cost $250,000. Hall said the explanation of this change was that Kralemann is chairman of the Public Safety Committee, and Hall hss adopted the policy of not placing ‘le chairman of one committee on the ros- ter of any other committee.

If there is one thing more than an- other in a woman’s garb that has any- thing to do with the seasons, perhaps it is silk gloves. For with the promise of spring comes an entirely new lot, lighter in weight and oolor, but even this may not be true for long, because scoffers are saying that silk gloves are worn the round. However that may be, it is ifn spring that one is off with the Bloves and on with the new, and newest ones. the most different ones silk. This spring the glove-wise say every- thing will be black and white or black or white, as in hosiery. Whether it is on account of the scarcity of dyes or just because fashion so dictates, we do not know, but the fact remains that black and white gloves will be very smart.

Haller made a speech declaring that the ordinance granting the city a con- nection with the Terminal’s rails at the end of the Free Bridge approach at Eighth and Gratiot streets was in the nature of a franchise to the Ter- YTninal to use the Free Bridge. He ob- jected also to the ordinance providing for the transfer of the levee tracks now owned by the Terminal to the city, on the same ground, and added that the bills should not originate with the Board of Public Service, as that would deprive the Aldermen of an opportunity to amend the measures under the new city charter. Schwarts’s Argument. Alderman Barney L. Schwartz said the bills were not Iegally Public Service Koard bills, although drafted by that body, and he believed the Aldermen could amend them. He said in any event the Aldermen ought to consider them, and if amendments are determined upon, which he expected would be the case, thé bills might then be filed and other measures substituted if there is any doubt ut the power of the Al- dermen to them. This procedure would save time, Schwartz argued.

With Six Former Feds in Line-up, Browns Vanquish Tigers in 2nd Game, 5-4. Sensational Work by Johnson, Miller, M; Marsans and Plank Save Day After Errors by Shotton and Sisler Give Detroit a Start—tTriple Steal Pulted. be mre 1 Tam it's $6 CUTE AND GIRLIS H}" oOo e M | | Ih By J. BE. WRAY, Sporting Editor of the Post-Dispatch. DETROIT, Mich., May~6. HEY , called it ‘‘Sisler Day’’ yesterday at Navin Field, when Fielder T Jones’ brand of baseball triumphed over the sadly crippled and weak- ened Tigers, 5-4. But it should have been labeled ‘‘ Federal League Day.’’ For it was the despised third leaguers’ brains and hands and arms that pulled the Browns through victorious, with Eddie Plank creaking fear- fully in the last stanza of this epic. Somewhere in the annals of the now extinc. Federal League there arose the siogan “Big league or bust.” To the minds of most followers of the game whe ‘bust’ t of the alternative has been fulfilled, both as regards the per- petuation of "the organization and the attainments of the layers who com- it, it was sai “Wait until these Putécein face real majo: league stuff and see what hap- pens to them.”’ Feds Deliver the Punch. Yesterday, we hold, was rather a fair test of the watchtul waiting request. De:roit was not at its best, exhausting practically its entire reserve force in the effort to stem the tide. It failed pecause of the Federal League players who made up the Browns team. Note the following facts: In the regular line-u layers weer former. Federal aguers, as eye ont Johnson, Miller, arsan Deal, Hartley and Plank. add 'to this the man- ager, also came up from the Federals. The American League players in- ill [AL Ta | Charlie Deal—Singled first up in the second and handled his only fielding chance O K. Grover Hartley—Caught a g00d Zame and tossed out one would-be stealer. Old Man Plank—Did not allow a hit until the sixth. Two men were down when Cobb got his first hit in nine times at bat (two days). Veach's drive that followed should have been an out but for Shotton misjudging it, allowing it to go for extra bases, scoring a runner. With one out he eased up in the ninth and the enemy made four hits they would not have done under any other condit#®ns. Plank pitchef a great, heady :cool game. Fielder Jones—He engineered .a double steal and the triple steal with Johnson on the scoring point and pulled several feats of inside stuff to meet Jennings’ moves. This ought at least to make a tem- porary case in favor of having been Federal League day at Navin Field. Sisler Disappoints Wolverines.

Shotton almost gummed the game in the sixth inning by mis- judging a fly. As to the Feds, note their achievements as follows: Ernie Johnson—Faced the pitcher ze: times. -agnd reached first five tim two runs; made one hit: maine: three timcs; stole home after two; rere out, his part of a ee in the ninth; stole an- e —- rattling ays and, Wa the celebration in that of other favored sons rendered conspicuous on presenta- tion days. Sisler received a whtch and the ovation of 604 students and profes- sors who traveled up from Ann Arbor to see the former pride of Michigan Uni- versity show his paces. In return they received one of the. poorest exhibitions that Sisler has ever put on. Up five times he figured in five miserable epi- sodes. Three times his puny taps forced runners, two of them dying at the plat. Ones he tried to pull the play that helped win the game on Thursday— bunting with two out—and made a mis- erable failure of it. In the field he per- formed his allotted tasks. Sisler’s case only adds to the evidence going to show that if you want to make a player appear foolish, present him with something before the game. HIGH SCHOOLS OF STATE WILL HOLD.

All the important high schools in the State except the public schools of St. Louis, will send entries. Smith-Manual, Web- ster Groves High School and the Prin- cipia Academy of St. Louis will be en- tered. The meet promises to be the biggest and most successful in,years. Already a large number of schools have signified their intention of sending good-sized teams, including all-of the high schools of Kansas City, St. Joseph, Sedalia and Joplin. The number of athletes which last year reached over 500 will -approxi- mate 600 this year. Marsans Fails. With Three On.

‘ST ‘ST.LOUIS POST- -DISPATCH _ SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 6, 1916. i PROWD RUSHES MRS: STOKES FO RTH PAMPHLET Millionaire’s Wite Defies Police in Distributing Literature Forbidden by Law. EMM:, GOLDMAN PRESENT Womyn Anarchist Makes Ap- pearance in Public After Serv- iy Fifteen Days in Jail. By — oo Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 6.—Trouble was squelched at Carnegie Hall last night after Mrs. Rose Pastor Stok.s had an- nounced that she would defy the police and give out birth-control literature to any -vife or motuer who desired it. Mrs. Stokes had just finished a speech upon the subject and Emma Goldman was scheduled to be the next and last talker. “As goon as Miss Goldman gets fin- ished,” Mrs. Stokes anno.znaced, ‘‘those desiring these pamphlets may march up to the stage and get them.” A few would not wait and started for the platform. The rush grew great as the woman anarchist finished talk- ing. Men, women—young and middle- aged—made for the rear of the jammed auditorium, ».eeking a small table on which the pamphlets rested. Gathers Up Pamphlets. Mrs. Stokes, seeing the oncoming rush, gathered the pamphlets in her hands and announced that the little booklets would be given out only io wives and mothers. Immediately men pounce@d upon her. Fully 10 persons had reached the stage and the speak- ers were scattering. Those who had got up the meeting were in grave danger of bodily injury unti! several men hur- ried upon the stage and began to push away the ‘itruders. vidently there were no police in the hall, for although there were cries for them, there was no response. Turmo1l continued for fully 15 minutes, then Mrs. Stokes, deprived of the last of the pamphlets whose distributio, had been forbidden legally. dropped into a charr. Then the stage was -leared and the meeting broke up. j Mrs. Stokes was almost overcome as the result of the pushing and dragging she had received from the crowd. She was taken out by her husband, J. G. Phelps .Stokes, as soon as he could reach her. The mreeting Lad been -alled to wel- come the return of Kmma Goldman from the Queens County Jail, where she had «ent fifteen day for circulat- ing just such pamphlets as ms. Stokes gave out and for lecturing on the ‘subject of birth control. . Defied the Police. Mrs. Stokes wos among the first speak- ers. She was vigorously applauded when she arose from her chair. She es vied * saying she cefied the police of New York and tha: she, would do the came thins for which Em a Gold- man was ent to pris un. “Be the penalty what it may,’ she said, “Il frankly offer to give out these forbidden slips,’’ (psmphlets on birth control), ‘‘to those needy wives and mothers who will frankly come and take them as soon as the meeting is over.”’ The speaker looked about. “I see no member of the police de- partmert here,’’ she wert on sarcasti- cally. “but probably they are in civilian clothes\ and cannot be distinguighed from honest citizens. You -gentle whu eafn your living by hunting down the victims’ of mal-adjusted society, and you gentlemen of the club, if you sre here to interfere with th’s meeting, or to arrest anyone or to provide the authorities with evide.ce against any- one against this unjust section of the law, I address myself to you. ‘IT should be truly sorry to place you under so mean an obligation, for I know your neart well enough to knor you do not always relish the job your ec- onomic insecurity forces you to hold on to. But I cannot do other than take the opportunity afforded me of passing out information to wives and mothers in need. I am not bidding for arrest, t 1 am not afraid. Admits Breaking Law. “Frankly, I have broken the law over and over, because I helieve the mothers of the wor'd should have the power and right » control birt...” Emma Goldman was -.ather meek, despite the fact it was said she would repeat the speecl on birth control which caused her conviction. On the contrary, she said, in future she would let the campaign for birth control be conducted in New York by thers, but would continue to disseminate her in- formation elsewhere in the world. S: . then launched into an _ anarchistic speech, in which she denounced police and Judges. Issues 9348 Booklet Acceptances.

SPIRIT OF EARTH THERE Only Man Who Has Much to Do Is Bewhiskered and Rules With a Club. Oh, man, if thou wouldst know how through centuries and aeons woman strived to lift her hands and break her binding chains, here’s a chance to find out. Man has Known a long time that woman had raised her hands and broken her binding chains, and had bound him with the pieces, but he did not know exactly how. It is all made plain at the Odeon, where woman is showing how the thing was due. At « woman’s wish, Ahura-Mazda, mighty spirit of the earth, has paused in his onward flight, stayed his swift hands and backward turned hig cvurse into the deepness of the ‘ages past, lifted the stygian curtain of obtivion and broken the silence of the long- dead years and revealed the tistory wrapped. within thei> gloém and traced the arduous path of woman through the years back to primeval times and eras old. Tells of Woman's Progress. And man, when the Odeon’s curtain was lifted last night for the telling of the story of woman's progress, by the Woman’s Pageant of the Woman's Ccuncil, found out how woman, grop- ing, in the dead darkness of the night to glorious freedom gieaming on ahead, had shifted into high and passed him in the dim dawn and was scooting on ahead. That’s the story, ars progress as unfolded by Charles Moorehead Vilevy and Miss Lorena Jamison and fir. Ahura- Mazda,, under the direction of Joseph Sclari, with Miss Theresa Finn wield- ing the baton and women making the music. It's the story of the slow but steady and sure sutjection of man to the oppressor wonran. Truth to tell, and sad to confess, about the only man who has much to say on the Odeon stage is an anony- mous individual in whiskers who ruled the cave as woman now rules tiie flat, and growls something ter- rible. He rules his women with a club. but after him man’s”) glory fades and woman's reign sets in and keeps on setting in. It gets so bad in Roman times that the lichters are licked by a mob of fe- rccious females and man’s total in- feriority in our land is proven when a band of noble red men are hacked to rieces by a pioneer’s wife. True, the r.oneer comes back from the hunt in time to help, but the obsequies of the noble red men would have been alggost as impressive without him. From the time that Intelligence speaks from her pedesial at the risiney curtain ir the person of Mrs. E. E. UWavearstick, until the culmination of woman's prceg- ress ‘is shown in tableau at the pazg- eants eriding, it is all so nicely done that» man doesn’t mind it. In fact ne rather likes it. He's slad «a women won. Because, it is had not been for woman's progress there wouid nut have been a Woman’: Council, and if there had not been a Woman's Council there would not have seen a womans paug- eant and man weuld nave missed a@ very beputiful pageant. oh, maw, of wom- Mrs. It is a beautiful women’s pageant ve- cause it is a pageant of beautiful wom- en. JPhere are some men because some men are needed to show how the women got ahead and how the men got behind. They do not add particularly to the beauty of the spectacle, but they ser-e the useful purpose of being defied, de- feated and backed into the wings by woman, who needs all the stage room to show her progress. The pageant showed that woman has progressed in pretty much everything that she has seen fit to rpogress in. Mrs. John Maxwell showed that woman has progressed in one particular which no one had suspected. She showed that a woman could keep perfectly still for 20 minutes. She gave such a good imitation of a statue that some men who still lag in the gamble age wanted to bet each other that she was alive or she wasn't. She did as well as any real statue could have done, which is high praise though it doesn’t sound like it, considering that she was play- ing a statue's part. All the rest of the women and girls and little children and even the men impersonated live persons in live man- ner. This afternoon the pageant is to be repeated and tonight the final perform- ance will be given. The proceeds are to be devoted to starting a fund for a Woman's Council building. GEN.

Mr. Dunn is also for increasing the diameter of the putting cup froin 4); to 5% inches. With the cup the present size, an average of two putts to pe green is required. This totals 36 putts to 18 holes. If the par, say of the course is 72, only 36 are left for the between-greens play. If the cup were ar. inch larger, an average of not more than 1’ putts would be required to a green or 27 to 18 holes.

(Harper.) FE ranks of business a woman who is the equal of men who are occu- pied in the same line of endeavor. Using the successful business woman as the principal theme of tle story, Edwin Bateman Morris develops an interesting tale in “Our Miss York,” giving in de- taif an account of he~ distinct success in the business world. In order to prevent the story being a mere narrati- of business, the author has intermingled with that ac- count just enough of a love story with its uncertainties and perplexities to add a decided spice. Miss Margaret York. who wax left an orphan and was reared by an uncle, had to earn her living when she was still young. She entered the business of Warring & Co. as a file clerk. Being inquisitive, she cevoted the time at her disposal during the lunch hour to a thorough investigation of the plant and learned the reasons for the operations. Gradually she worked herself into the position as private secretary of the gen- | sral manager of the company, Mr. Pot- ter. He observes the unusual ability of Margaret York and advised her ‘o leave the company for an opening which enabled her to employ her talents to better advantage. Margaret York left the Warring company, transforming her new business which had been per- mitted to run down, into a modern business establishment. Mr. Potter of the Warring company eved Margaret York on account of her ability. The other lover, David Bruce, a childhood friend, is portrayed in the story as a waster and wanderer, who has ability as an illustrator, but will not employ that ability long enough to amass any considerable success. He a loves Margaret, >ut with a real love. Margaret York had some difficulty in determining which of the two lovers she would rather marry. Finally, how- ever, she selects Dayid Bruce, the wan- derer, despite his weakness. She loved him and decided to give up her busi- ness to be his bride. Her decision to leave the business world and live with a man who earned less than she could was made before Margaret York learned that David Bruce had succeeded as an illustrator. How she learned of his suc- cess and how she made her decision are interesting portions of the story. de- manding tlfe close attention of the reader. (Penn Publishing Co.) “THE A. B. C.

RLD peace is to be realized in Wien formation of a world state, in the opinion of John Bigelow, Major United States Army, Retired. In his book on ‘“‘World Peace” he has un- dertaken to show how war cannot be abolished and how it can be abolished. He aims not at the diminution or miti- gation of war, but its abolition. It will not be abolished by the pacifists, he says, because they are under the in- fluence of peace fanatics and interna- tional lawyers, the peace people build- ing on ‘‘the despicable dogma of peace- at-any-price”’ and the international! law- yers building on “the fetish of national sovereignty. The author exposes what he considers the errors of various known plans or projects for world peace. He discusses arbitration, a world court of justice and an alliance or league of peace. Finding these inadequate he comes by a_ proc- ess of elimination to what’ he terms “the last hope of world peace, the for- mation of a world state,’’ ,.which. he thinks is preferable to a world confed- eration. “International peace,’ he says, ‘“‘is possible only as an enlargement or ex- pansion of national peace; peace beyond national borders is attainable only as i- is attained within them; peace among the nations can be secured only as it is secured among the states and provinces of a nation. Nothing short. of world sovereignty, which means the abandon- ment of national sovereignty, will suf- fice for a world nation, which alone can give assurance of world — peace. If then ‘universal’ péace is ever brought ‘about it will be not by judicial, arbitral or any other mode of settling questions between sovereign states, but by the obviation of such questions, by elimination from human affairs; it will be, not peace by arbitration, nor peace by justice, nor peace by agreement, nor peace by compulsion, but peace by gov- orpnment, which means for the world one people, one sovereignty, one country.”’ Whether or not one agrees that world peace cannot. be attained by judicial or arbitral means, it is true that the au- thor points out convincingly the many and great difficulties. Some may think that the difficulties attendant upon the creation of a world state are as great or greater. But it is a great thing that the author has visioned. It is only when he attempts to work out practical details that he becomes as impractical as those who place their hope in judicial and arbitral means. - His- suggestion of the establishment of a world city, to be the forerunner of the world state, seems, curiously, more Utopian than the world state itself. If in descending to details he is less convincing that when he un- veils « vision he but shares the fate of the dreamers of dreams who turn io the drawing of plans. The road, he confesses, to the peaceful union which is preferable to disunited peace, is very long, and traveling it may be a matter of ages, and men may be deterred by its length from entering upon it, but mankind is already on it. “May it take heart,’’ he pleads, ‘from the progress that it has made, and quicken its steps as it presses on to- ward ever fairer prospects, not deceived as to the distance but inspired by the noble grandeur of its destination.’’ (Mitchell Kennerly.) LADY HOUSE, LONDON, in his latest book, Little Lady of the Big ’* has added at least three lijst he LITTLE OF THE BIG THE ACK ‘The J House, characters to his already notable of living portraits. In this book @reates Dick Forrest, virile, intellec- tual and rich, with broad acres and an unbounded desire to make them most productive... Then there is Paula, Dick’s wife, young. graceful and beautiful, the idol of het husband and the despair of his men friends. Third is Evan Gra- ham. ingratiating, educated and trav- eled, a sort of Prince Charming. London has brought to bear his vivid imagination and his power of construc- tion in working out the problem which is brought about by the introduction of Graham into the Forrest home as a long-time guest. How Graham is en- snared by the beauty of Mrs. Forrest and how he is extricated from his di- lemma constitutes a narrative which puts London in his best light. It is an engaging story throughout. (McMillan their. | fully in the past few years. A STUDY OF THE PAPACY. F all the religious institutions in C) the world, the Papacy is of the greatest historic interest. In- deed, its development from a despised pastorate of a small, persecuted flock of believers of lowly origin to the awe-in- spiring place it attained at its zenith under Innocent III, when the monarchs of the then known world trembled under iis fhunders and humbly acknowledged its right to make and unmake kings, is one of the most entrancing stories in all history. Joseph McCabe has undertaken to tell briefly and, as he sees it, im- partially, this story in “Crises in the History of the Papacy.”’ There have been 271 Popes. The very names of some of these have been all but lost in the mazes of time and of many of them nothing is known beyond their names. There have been great Popes and little Popes. The author has endeavored to pick out those who have left the firmest imprint on history by their struggle to bring the throne of St. Peter into both tempora&!) and spiritual primacy, or to hold it there after it at- tained that end. He treats of 2% of these, some because of their personal greatness and others, like John XXIII, who have accidentally fallen into im- mortality through the church's vicisst- tudes under their pontificates. Mr. McCabe clearly has studied nis subject most exhaustively. How impar- tial he has been in reaching his conclu- siong will depend on the reader’s point of view, but there can be no doubt tn the mind of anyone that he has treated his topic from a very interesting angle, though he has been compelled to cover a vast stretch of time in a modest vol- ume. (Putnam.) PROGRESS IN CITIES. HE American municipality has suf- T fered 80. much abuse and so much adverse criticism that it is refresh- ing to pick up a boox in which cities are given credit forall the goo] they have beer, doing. Few men are capable of the task undertaken by Prof. Charles Zueb- lin in his latest book. ‘‘American Munic- ipal Progress.’’ There is very little of theorizing in the &) pages of this vol- ume: It is mostly a recital of facts with their interpretation here and there. The facts given show tnat the Ameri- can city has been progressing wonder- The author says that quite a number of the things recorded in this book were mere utopias when he published a similar volume in 19022. He advises all who become dis- couraged at the difficulties of getting their ideas inccrporated into iaw, to study what cities have done. in this way a great deal of encouragernent will be gained. Prof. Zueblin has traveled through the length and breadth of this country as a lecturer. He has had occasion to study the city not only from official reports, but from personal observation. He is a keen observer and a prophetic inter- preter. He has vision enough to discern teniencies and needs. His experience, his knowledge and his observation, added to his peculiar gifts, have made it possible for him to give us a valuable chronicle of the progress made by the American city. He says there is a good deal more to be done, but the city should be given credit for all that it has already done. The city remains the stronghold of democracy und must be kept as such. Since we are going tv live in cities more and more, it is well that we know all the good things cities are accomplishing so that they muy be generally adupted as far as practicable. (Macmillan } A FILMABLE STORY. IDGWELL CULLUM - starts his rx novel, “The Golden Woman,” with a perfectly straight-faced account of a crystal-gazing seance in which a seer describes minutely an acci- dent, happening some distance away, in which a man has just been killed. There is no trick about it—she simpl) sees the whole thing in her crystal. After this, one is prepared for almost anything, and the Montana cow-person episodes which make up the bulk of the story are readable and—as was probably intended—filmable. The story is of woman’s quest for love which would be strong enough to dispel a curse which, according to the crystal-gazer, attaches to her. As she has pages to do it in. it can be guessed that she wins, and evil Fate. joses.

Friend Phil is a very small friend, as years’ and stature go, but he looms very large in the story's te'ing because he is such a friendly Phil, filling all his little world with the fullness of the very fines? kind of friendship. Little Phil had a lot of friends, mostly big friends, and there was one Dig friend in particular who tells the story, “My Friend Phil.” It was a rare and curious friend- ship, the friendship of the big man and the little boy, but it was real friend- ship all right, which stood the strain even of the million questions which the small friend asked, most of which the big friend was not able to answer. Phil has another friend, a feminine friend, and Phil’s two friends become very fast friends ineed. To tell the truth. it develops int> a romance and Phil helps it along quite a bit. Then there is Olivia Mary, but you will not like' Olivia Mary particularly. The reason is that Phil's big friend, who tells the story, has taken pains to magnify Olivia Mary’s favits rather relentlessly, suggesting an aversion to little girls in general as strong as the love and under- standing of litti2 boys which the atory exhibits. Olivia Mary may quite pos- sibly have had a good trait or two if somebody had taken the trouble to look for it. But after all, the story is about little Phil and Jittle Thil is altogether all right and notiing ¢«lse matters. “My Friend Phil’ is a child story for grown- ups. (Rand, McNally & Co.) oe STRENGTH FROM FAITH. H. LEATHEM has caught W something of the religious spirit ® which he feels must be under- lying the hopes and ideals of the suffer- ers in the trenches and on the battle- fields, or perhaps, better still, in the hospitals crowded by the war. At least, so it would appear from four very short stories which he publishes in a little book, ‘““The Comrade in White.’” This comrade comes to the soldiers when they need Him most and gives them hope and consolation and life more atundant. It dis the sort of thing which will be welcomed so as to make us for- get the ugliness and sordidness of war and carnage. (Fleming H. Revell.) ‘ —_——- tongue oda; utter speech it ut- tered words of praise for mother. As long as humen tongue can utter speech or human hand write down its thoughts, mother will be recipient of homage. It can not be otherwise. In the course of the ages very fine things have been written about mothers and babes. Some of this literature has been carefully and lovingly gathered into a neat little volume by Mary Allette Aver. The little book will be welcomed by all and treasured by those receiving it as a gift book. (Lathrop, Lee, Shepard.) NATURE FAIRIES. N these days of realism, picture | shows, destruction of illusions, 4 little book of fairy stories about flowers, and trees and frogs, and roost- ers, etc., like “That's Why Stories” by Ruth O. Dyer, will be welcomed by pdrents and educators. The © stories carry out the Fro2bel ideas anid are simply told go that children can read them for themselves. They stl the imagination and get the child interested in nature studies. The illustrations arc by John Goss and Lester M. Chace.
