By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, May 15.—The Aero Club of America announces today the institu- tion of a national aerial derby which shall -be the annual classic of aviators on this side of the Atlantic. This year’s event will be a transcontinental race York to the Pacific. September will be the from New Late August or early time. As first prize the Executive Committee of the Aero Club has set aside $20,000 from the national aeroplane fund. This offered the will supplement a silver trophy by World, tional competition and latd it before the Ralph Pulitzer, publisher of who devised the plan for a na- " Aero Club on May 2. Additional cash prizes contemplated by the authorities: of the Aero Club wiil make this year’s race worth probably more than $100,000. C The trophy offered by Mr. Pulitzer has not yet been designed, but he has indi- cated that it shall be in Keeping with the importance of the country’s aero- nautical event. His purposes in offering the trophy are: 'To quicken America’s reawakening in- terest In the science which Americans first developed and gav3 to mankind. To tnduce equipment and training of military and civilian aviators for na- tional defense. To demonstrate the practical uses of aeroplanes for transportation of pas- sengers and mall. To op&n the aerial highway. Already extensive plans are under way at tle Aero Club for making this year's competition the greatest aeronautical event in the history of the United States. Constructors and aviators have indicated their eagerness to enter the race. The leading manufacturers, al- though busy with orders for export, will enter as many machines as can be first transcontinental | manned by experienced pllots. Henry Woodhouse, secretary of the Aero Club, believes that 2 to # con- tiene will appear and that they will a race comparable with the ainsi which stimulated Euro- development of aeronautics be- fore the war.

John T.. Woodruff, chairman of the Greater Springfield Committee, told a Post-Dispatch reporter before the meet- irg that {f St. Louis would co-operate with Springfield and the towns on the route of the two roads that both roads would be completed before the end of the year. When the roads are complet- ed, he said, it would be possible to trav- el from St. Louis to Springfield by auto in less than a day. Woodruff and a party of good roads boosters arrived in St. louis Saturday night, having started from Springfleld in automobiles Fridav morning. They held meetings in more ‘han a dozen towns en route. Woodruff said that the road he- tween Springfield and Houston, in Texas County, was in first-class Shape, and that the section of the road between Houston and St. Louis could be made with comparatively little work. In manv sections of the country the ground contains so much gravel, he said, that all that was necessary was to grade the road. Spending $100,000 for Roads. The Greater Springfield Committee composed of delegates from the Springfield Club, the Manufacturers | and Jobbers’ Association, the Young Mens Business Club, the Retail Mer- chants’ Association and the Commer- != cial Club. The Greater Springfield |§ Committee has taken -hold of road} building propositions as a part of its | work, Woodruff said, and is spend- | ing $100,000 in promoting and build- ing roads.

Club This Year Although Beaten, 3—2, Brooklyn’s Star Moundman — Huggins Locals Put Up Satisfying Fight Against Announces Shift in Batting Order. By W. J. O’Connor. OME 14,000 Cardinal rooters came closer to being satisfied with defeat yesterday than they have been since the first vote was taken on the Free Bridge bonds. dust, 3-2, but only after the most stub who has won four Big Jeff Pfeffer, of his five games this season, didn’t fool the Cards half as handily as he has other clubs. He was touched for nine hits, including a triple and a home run, and he was saved at least from an extra inning battle by the breaks—including those in Bob Ems- lie’s line of vision. _Emslie missed a play at first on Corhan in the seventh. He called Cor- han out when Daubert was pulled off the bag by Mowrey’s throw and then along came Hornsby with a home run. That would have knotted the score and with Ames to finish up the Cards’ chances surely looked brighter than Brooklyn's. However, that’s the break. As for Emslie, it is sertinent to remember that he has been a member of the National League staff for 27 years without ever having officiated in a world’s series. There's something wrong somewhere, probably the ocular nerve. Emslie Misses Play. Sallee’s work was the only disap- pointment. The Old Master made a practice in years past of beating Brooklyn, but Manager Robinson yes- terday benched Casey Stengel, a left- handeg hitter, and put Jimmy John- ston in right field. Johnston’s triple started Sallee on the road to ruin. It followed Daubert’s single in the sixth. Mowrey’s triple came a second later and then Cutshaw’s single. That virulent attack netted three runs and victory, 8-2. But the tenacious uphill fight of the Cards won the sympathy of the rooters. In their portion of the sixth the locals grabbed a run. Hug was cheered when he batted for Sallee and, again when he singled through Mowrey. Bescher forced him, but retrieved his batting failure by stealing second. After Smith failed, Betzel singled, scoring Bescher. Then came Hornsby’s home run in the seventh, and after that a tearful In- cident in the eighth. Bescher opened with a triple, but never scored. With the infleld drawn in, Smith, Betzel and Wilson fell down and the Brooklyn boys owned the box score. Cards Fail in Eighth. Manager Huggins has been guilty of few managerial slips this season, but his strategy in the seventh was condemned by the grand stand manager. With two out and none on, Synder singled. Hug The adolescent little army of Miller Huggins bit the born, satisfying fight of the season. HORNSBY ADVANCED IN HUG’S NEW SWAT LIST OGERS HORNSBY, the ry milk-fed kiddo, who has been indiscriminately annihilating all National League pitchers this” spring, has been boosted from seventh to third place in a new batting order promulgated by Manager Huggins today. Bescher will continue to lead off while Bet- zel replaces Jack Smith as No. 2. Then comes Hornsby and next Chief Wilson, who isn't hitting a lick. Miller will swing fifth with Jack Smith, Roy Corhan and the battery men following. Wil- son is placed in the clean-up berth to mix up the assortment of right and left-handed hit- ters. Tommy Long is able to walk on his alling prop again and Ifuggins thinks Tomaso will be ready for pinch-hitting pur- oses in a week. His absence is eing felt just now. — ~ ee ee ee ee ee eee popped to the catcher and Snyder was forced out of the game with no material gain. Any time you rake Snyder out the Cards are weakened. Hug unquestion- ably was playing a huncn. None of the breaks came our way, but it is satisfving to know that the Cards made more hits off Pfeffer, a whale of a pitcher, than any club this season. Pfeffer’s record: Date. Opponent. R. April 21—Boston .......... 3 April 28—Philadelphia .... 0 Mav 2—New York 2 May 6—Philadelphia .... May 10—Cincinnati 0 May 14—Cardinals H. Inn.

No throw is hurried: they’re all meakured, and aithough Roy’s arm doesn’t seem to contain the same steel as Eeck’s, Rov manages to bring down the alien birds on the wing.

BOUT PREVIOUS FAILED | Same Principals Failed to Meet, at Keokuk A. C. Because of Small House. By Harry S. Sharpe, Referee for the Future City Athletie | Club and the Post-Dispatch’s Boxing Authority. ‘*Young’’ Benny, the New York bantam-weight, is to get the chance he has been waiting for since his St. Louis about three months ago—an opportunity to show before the Future City Athletic Club. He has been matched before that in. situation with Jimmy Murphy for an eight-round bout tomorrow night. Not only is Benny glad to appear be- fore the leading boxing club of = St. Louis, but he says Murphy is his choice of all the local bantams, and his man- ager makes powerful predictions of the result. Benny's manager is one of the most enthusiastic Managerg seen in our midst for some time. He ts satisfied | that Benny is the coming world’s} champion and relegates such boxers | as “Young” Zulu Kid, ‘‘Dutch” Brandt! and Johnny Solberg to the junk heap as compared to his boy. He is satis- fied that after the bout tomorrow night all St. Louis will hail Benny ag a won- der, and make the recently acquired reputation of Benny McNeill fade to a frazzle. ») arrival in A Jumping Hyena. “This boy is a humping, jumping, bumping, thumping hyena, and when we get through cleaning up here we will be ready for Johnny Ertle and ‘Kid’ Williams, one at a time or both of them the same night. Wait till you see my boy Tuesday night, and if he isn’t all| wool and a yard wide I'll never have! another word to say.’”’ Benny had been matched with Jimmy | Murphy before the Keokuk A. C. on the night of April 15, but when it came time for the bout to go on there wasn’t enough money in the house to buy al supply of peanuts for Jim, the Fores? Park elephant. The scarcity of money on that occasion made no difference to Benny, but it did to Murphy and the latter was conspicuous by his absence Benny, weighing about 112 pounds, threw | himself in the ring and nearly anni-| hilated a substitute for Murphy in the | person of Billy Scanlan, a soldier from | Jefferson Barracks: Scanlan weighed | about 130, but was so fat he exploded at the end of the first round. | Referee Takes Chances. | The only ‘real test of Benny's merit in St. Louis came when he met Leo Schneider at Jefferson Barracks on the night of March 8. Sehneider was award- | ed the decision on points by Referee! Eddie Randall, much to the chagrin, ' disappointment and violent profest of } Benny, his manager and friends. In fact, Randall says he had reason to fear an attack by the opposing forces that night and Was given an escort of regular United States infantry to insure his safe passage to the car. Once on the car he found himself worse off than before, but, believing discretion the bet- ter part of valor, he avoided a conflict by ignoring the pushes and criticism di rected his way. Referee Randall now recalls the circumstances of that night: as merely incidental to the life of a referee. In justification of Randall's decision, however, it may be said that it | Was substantiated by many competent | judges of boxing who were at the ring- | Bide. If Benny is so good as he fs said to be (and he has clippings to bear {t out) the bout between he ani Murphy tomorrow night} is going to be a geod one urphy can be| beaten, but it takes a good one to do ft. The} South St. Louls boy is clever, can take pun-| ishment and has the best punch of any of} the loeal bantanis. Murphy and Benny are sald to have agread to weigh tn at 116 pounds at 3 p. m., ues- G&ay Taylor to Box Leders. Another bout on the program which shoul4 prove interesting is one between Jimmy Tay- lor of New York and ‘*Kid’’ Leders of Cin- cinnati. This ts scheduled for eight rounds at 118 pounds. Taylor has been seen here twtce, ce when he boxed Benny MeNetil, on March 21 and again on April ll, when he boxed Archie McLeod He was beaten on beth occasions. The night he boxed McNeill, Taylor was a big favorite prior to the bout, hut the fleet- footed. fast-hitting Englishman made 4 punching bag of him. Leders is well thought of in Cincinnati, an4 fained sore proniinence several years ago by shadin Benny McGovern of this city. While pe has quite a lengthy record. none of the boxers, with the exception of McGovern, that he has met are Known hers, = that but little comparison can be mate of his ability.

What This Vast Work Contains When it is said that the new Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica is the most exhaustive summary of human knowledge ever prepared, in a single work, this carries little suggestion of its vast range. It does not help on to say that it contains forty-one thousand different articles. To take afew of its divisions. On Art, Architecture and Music there is a total of 2937 different articles; on Chemistry 547; on Languages and Writing 285; on Medicine and Surgery 644. ‘ The Britannica is a splendid atlas, and the total of its articles on Geography reaches 11,341. The number of articles on the History of Nations is 6292; on the different literatures of the world 4136. Abstruse subjects like Philosophy and Psychology roll up a total of 643 articles; Re- ligion aan Theology 3049; Mathematics 253. Sports and Pastimes show a total of 264 articles; Law and Political Science 1302; Engineering 419; Economics and Social Science 492, Needless to say all the separate sciences are covered as completely as if you had separate text books for each; and in a far more compact and readable form. Biology, the science of life, has a total of 1886 arti- cles; Geology, earth knowledge, a total of 740; Physics 285; Anthropology and Eth- nology, covering all our knowledge of man upon the earth, 458 articles. It isa highly practical work. Industries and Occupations are covered in 545 different articles; Military and Naval subjects in 320; Education in 172; Archwology and Antiqui- ties in 161. Just the mere text of the new Eleventh Edition, printed in ordinary type would make three or four hundred volumes of average book size; and at a dollar and a half a volume this would mean they would cost at least four or five hundred dollars— . thatis, nearly ten times what the Britannica may be had for in the new ‘‘Handy Vol- ume’”’ Issue. But this does not nearly tell the story. You could not go to the biggest bookstore in the world and buy any thousand volumes, on all these separate subjects and get any- where near as complete and serviceable a working library as the 29 volumes of the new Britannica. Many of its articles are of considerable length, 50 and 100 pages and more, but the most of them are crisp, clear summaries telling the average person pre cisely what he or she wishes to know on any given subject. The new Eleventh Edition is in fact a miracle of compression and compactness, as it is of complete- ness and authority. It is not merely the product of the greatest of living minds, but every page of it has been boiled down to give the utmost service te the busy men and women of today. ” WHAT OUR OFFER MEANS 1. We supply the “Handy Volume” Issue of the new Eleventh Edition at one-third the prices of the larger-paged “Cambridge University” issue of the 2.

SAYS SHE: KILLED- HERSELF Evidence to Be Presented at Waukegan Expected to Be Largely Circumstantial. CHICAGO, May 15.—The tria! of Will H. Orphet, University of Wisconsin stu- dent. on a charge of murdering Marion Lambert, Lake Forest High School girl, opened at Waukegan today with the se- lection of jurors. A first venire of 133 men was ordered to report, but owing to the wide publicity given to the case, it is not expected that the jury will be completed from this number. Evidence to be presented, it is said, will be largely circumstantial, and the question for the jury to decide will be wiether the girl took the poison which caused her death or whether Orphet ad- ministered it to her. State’s Attorney Ralph Daddy of Lake County will conduct the prosecution and James H. Wilkerson, former United States District Attorney at Chicago, and Leslie Hi. Hanna, former State’s Attor- nev for Lake County, will appear for the defense. Orpet and Miss Lambert were sweet- hearts, but the vouth’'s affection cooled and he became engaged to another girl. It developed in investigation of the case |that while Miss Lambert previously had fenred a child was to born to her fears were removed and that -her statements to Orpet shortly before her death that they had been renewed were i fabricated in an effort to win his mack.

On numerous occasions in the past few weeks, T have seen the assertion made in your editorial columns that in view of the present difficulty in keeping up the enlisted strength of the national! guard, it would be impossible to recruit this or- ganization to 400,000 men. ' From the position of one who has served a three- year enlistment In our local regiment, your rea- soning appears to be faulty. In the first place, membership in the national guard at the present time is a case of giving saemething for nothine, a system on which no organization can be a success. When a young man enlists in the national Guard under the present conditions, he binds himself to give a certin amount of his time each week to military drill nnd instruction. This sounds very easy, but after the first three or four months, when the novelty tegins to wear off, military drill and instruction Lecomes like anvthing else which one is obligated t. do, it becomes hard work. In return for this hard work he gets nothing but glory. Have you ever noticed what a lot of glory there is about the national guard service and what a distin- gutshed honor it is to be a buck private in the rear rank”? The result is that after six months or a year, the recruits begin to tire of the monotony of military service and unless their courage is kept up by an earnest desire to perfect themselves in things military (there are about 10 men tn every 100 who come under this classification) they drift away. The receive no pay for their service, there- fore cannot be compelled to keep up their duties, and the only thing to be done after continued ak- sences from crill is to discharge them. About 400 or 600 men are discharged from the regiment this wavy every vear, after having served from six months to a ycar or more. Under the provisions of the new militia bill, the members of the national guard will ceive a smal! compensation for their service, which will more than reimburse them for the time whieh ‘they devote to the service and will also Grive those in authority over them power to compe! them to complete their three years’ service as they would be compelled to do in the regular army. iThere are few men in the regulars who were not thoroughly disgusted with the service afier their first few months, but then comes pro- motion and life commences to take on a new In- terest. It would have the same effect on tue guard. If all the men enlisted under the present condi- tions, which have absolutely nothing to offer in return for the service, were compelled to carry out their full enlistments instead of being permitted to quit at any time they feel inclined do 80, St Loults would now have at least three regiments instead of as you will note by the figures quoted above, which will show that nearly 1600 men are discharged in the course of three vears’ time tn the local militia for non-attendance of drill or other causes which would not te per- mitted to occur under the proposed new system. These 1500 men represent the streneth of two regiments on peace footing. I believe the above facts will show vou that the idea that 400,000 men could not be obtained for the national gvard is as erroneous as the asser- tion that we should not authorize an army of ©50,000 men simply because someone thinks this rumber of mer could not be obtained. Give the national guard a chance and, ali, don’t be constantly harping on condition Remember, you're getting fo: nothing pay re- to one, above its present something EX-NATIONAL GUARDSMAN. Vandalism With a Purpose. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. During a recent visit to Calvary Cemetery 1 was surprised fo note the number of gravestones that bad teen disloaged from their places and were lying prostrate upon the ground Nearly all were ruined beyond repair and upon close examination, the tell-tale marks of the pinch-bar or chisel-bar were evident Such vandalism should be in- rewtigated OBSERVER. State Examining Boards To the Editor of the Poat-Dispatch, It seems to all the [ntelligent professional men that the State Board of Examiners should super- vise the final examinations in the colleges and that the examining boards are not only derelict but antiquated who insist on additional exami- nations outside of the schools. The @uty of the Biate Examining Board is s0 to regulate col- leges as not to permit them to graduate tneffi- client students for the sake of additional lucre. This is what we really are fighting for. I hope you will be able to wake up the State Boards to their full duty. A 8ST. LOUIS W. STRIKER. ce Commenting on the evidence in the replies from Missouri editors of a strong sentiment in favor of adequate preparedness in the Midwestern States, the Post-Dispatch proposed a nation-wide pre- paredness demonstration in all cities—a national preparedness day, following the example of New York’s great parade. Sunday we referred par- ticularly to the value of a popular preparedness demonstration in these words: The sentiment in St. Louis is stronger than in the interior of the State. A great popular demonstration in this city would have a tre- mendous effect on public sentiment and on Congress. It may be necessary for the mén and women of St. Louis and other Western cities to express by popular demonstration thelr demand for adequate preparation. It would be well for the Mayor, as the local representative of the Municipal Security League, and the local officers of the National Security League to consider the wisdom and practicability of a St. Louis demonstration. The need of a demonstration was never greater than now. Congress is only half awake. The compromise army bill is not satisfactory. An army of 206,000 men-has been created on paper. Provision has been made for volunteer camps and training. An attempt is made to federalize the militia and to raise it to a strength of 425,000. But there is no guarantee that a dependable army will be trained subject to service on call. There will not be a guarantee of this kind until every able-bodied citizen is trained for military duty and is subject to service whenever needed— until the duty of military service in time of need is made obligatory for the defense of the country, just as taxes are made obligatory for the support ct the Government. Congress is just beginning to realize the needs of the navy. There is no doubt of the majority sentiment of the Middle West. Out of 41 Missouri editors who ‘eplied to the questions of the Post-Dispatch—the poll is not complete—30 unqualifiedly voted for adequate preparedness; two were in doubt and nine opposed special preparation. In the cities the sentiment is stronger than in the country. Interviews in the Republic this mornigg from Mayor Kiel, President Hall of the Board of Alder- men, George M. Brown, president of the local branch of the National Security League; Gen. Spencer, N. G. M.; Charles Nagel and Mayor Moll- man of East St. Louis heartily indorsed the {dea. It was suggested that the St. Louis demonstra- tion embrace the Mississippi Valley. A popular demonstration of Mid-West senti- ment before the national conventions would have a tremendous effect, not only on Congress, but on the national political conventions. > — a WHOSE FAULT IS IT, JUDGE? Judge Priest says that if the childishly silly mo- tion for which he asks the serious consideration of the Supreme Court is denied, “the defendant will never have had an opportunity to have his defense heard.” If such opportunity has not been had after 13 years of litigation, when will it be had? On the far-fetched assumption that the absurd statement is true, whose fault is it of the utmost has not been done for a defendant that has occu- pied the attention of so many Judges during the lapse of so great a period of time? | 649 —__ -—_ -—- — THE RURAL CREDIT BILL. With the objectionable rider, exempting em- ployes of the Federal Farm Loan Board from Civil Service rules, eliminated, the Rural Credits bill passed by the Senate and now before the House has many desirable features. It will enable fafmers to obtain loans at lower rates of interest than at present, and persons de- siring to buy farm lands will have as long as 36 years to pay principal and interest in easy an- nual installments. This will diminish tenancy and increase the number of home owners. Opponents of the bill ask why the farmer should be favored. Why, says the Philadelphia Inquirer, should one class of citizens be supplied with money by Uncle Sam, while ALL THE OTHERS are left to their own resources and re- quired to hustle around on the principle of root hog or die? Has the Inquirer forgotten that, under the banking laws, any number oc! citizens, not less than five, may organize a national bank, and that, by the law of 1913, the Federal Reserve Board will issue to such a bank Federal Reserve notes, such notes being secured by the bank’s “redis- counted, high-grade commercial paper?” It used to be required of national banks that they de- posit Government bonds for all Government notes issued to them. That is no longer necessary. The banks turn over paper, that is to say, what appears to be well-secured promissory notes and other evidences of indebtedness to themselves, and in exchange receive Government money. The farm owner or buyer turns over to the I'arm Loan Board, under the proposed act, his land—which is his all. It is something that only a natural cataclysm can destroy. And he re- ceives as a loan, not its full value, but half its full value, carefully appraised. It is difficult to see favoritism toward the farm owner or buyer in this. ---————-—#@@ , ATTRITION IN THE GERMAN ARMIES. In the British estimate of 2,822,079 as the total casualties of all. German armies, an interesting point is the small number of prisoners—137,798. The total is only 334,892, if all those who are Classified as ‘missing’ and who must include many unknown dead, are added. As the slightly wounded number 1,141,169, the total wastage of*all German armies in dead, se- verely wounded and prisoners appears to be only 1,681,911, which number may include not a few men available for guarding lines of communica- tion or lighter but necessary duty. It is to be assumed that the British have not minimized German losses in the estimate. but a wastage of 1,681,911 during 21 months of war fiz- ures out a permanent loss of about 80,000 a month for all fronts—Turkish, Balkan, Russian, French and Belgian—or about 960,000 a year. April’s to- tal losses, including those at Verdun's “greatest battle in history,” are placed at only 91,162, of whom thousands can return to the ranks. Horrifying as these figures are, considered in terms of national sacrifice, they do not justify a too sanguine reliance on attrition. If it is true that between 500,000 and 600,000 reach military ee — — ‘age yearly in Germany, two-thirds of the killed land disabled have already been replaced. With net losses reducing military strength at the rate of not more than 350,000 a year, attrition will be a long time in whittling down the Germdn armies. Germany claims to have prisoners of war aloné more than her own permanent losses in effectives. —_—— ¢9—_____—---—- It almost seems time for Peter Parley to drop the Mexican problem. —_ ~ ee eoeo- MAKE ST. LOUIS A STATION. The transcontinental aerial center, concerning which full information is given in today’s Post- Dispatch, has a special interest for St. Louis. The contest, which was suggested by Ralph Pulitzer, publisher of the New York World, who offers a silver trophy for the winner, will be held under the supervision of the Aero Club of America. The object of the contest is to stimulate interest in aviation in America which, as Mr. Pulitzer says in his letter to the Aero Club, gave “the world wings.” Europe, under the forcing pressure of war, is making giant strides in avia- tion while America lags. One of the results of the contest, which may become an annual event, will be the promotion of aviation invention and manufacture and the training of aviators for mili- tary service when needed. It is expected to de- velop a transcontinental touring route. The prizes announced range from $1500 to $20,000. The special interest for St. Louis lies in the selection of stations where the aviators will stop for rest and supplies on their way between oceans. St. Louis as the metropolis of the Mississippi Valley and one of the first western cities to take should be the principal It will be necessary to raise up practical aviation, middle west station. a fund for expenses and for participation in the prize list.

In a statement just pricr to the uprising, Pat- rick H. Pearse, President of the Irish republic, said: Satay Look at the war in Flanders! What ape the motives underlying this struggle? Are:these motives just and noble? Is Ireland's struggle with England more sacred? Yes, it No jealousies. of trade, no political rivalries in the Balkans, no ambitions for ocean supremacy entered into the causes that brought about the attempt to bring Irish independence by force. A conviction of what Irish destiny demands for its fulfillment, a desire to benefit themselves and their compatriots, a genuine affection for the American life — a is. of the war that for the first time brought the fighting to Ireland.

The Golden Age of Pericles is redivivus over at Cincinnati. W. B. Melish, president of the Cincin- nati Chamber of Commerce, who came here to tell the Business Men's League how the Ohio city has cleaned up, told something about a movement stir- ring the youth of Cincinnati Twenty-five hundred of the older pupils of the schools are members of the Civic and Vocational League, which was started at the suggestion of the Chamber of Commerce and is fostered and en- couraged by it. And these 2500 youths have taken the Athenian oath, the oath which the Athenian vouth took, after sitting at the feet of the philos- ophers. They call it ‘“‘The Oath of the Athenian Youth.’ It is on a tablet set into the wall at the entrance of the Hughes High School: We will never bring disgrace to this our city by any act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our suffering comrades in the ranks; we will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city both alone and with many; we will revere and obey the city’s laws and do our best to incite a like respect in those above us who are prone to annul or set them at naught; we will strive unceasingly to quicken the public sense of-civic duty. Thus, in all these ways, we will transmit this city not only not tess, but greater and more beau- tiful than it was transmitted to us. Not only the youth but the citizenship of St. Louis would do well to take the oath of the Athenian youth. oe ¢+o--— - Matters might be worse.

This thing of setting up the clock an hour or two for the sake of getting up an hour or two earlier may be all right for England and Scandi- navia, but it won't do over here. Not for the clock at our house. It doesn’t need any setting up. What it needs is setting back. It is in many respects a very estimable clock, but it is inclined to be fast. It runs all night. Every morning it raises a disturbance when we want to sleep and alarms the whole neighborhood. And we have to get up and go to work an hour or two sooner than we want to How it gets through the night so quickly is a mystery. Gentle sicep has barely kissed our eye- lids when the family clock slams our ears with its unearthly clamor and night is no more. Who wants more daylight? Nobody does. What we need in this country, and especially at our house, is less daylight, particularly early in the morning. Another thing we need is a Society for the Suppression of the Alarm Clock.

ANTWINE lighted his pipe and released a few puffs of blue smoke in the bright sunshine of May. ‘‘T have half a mind to go to the Chicago conven- tion,’’ he said. ‘‘No moré significant event in the history of our country has occurred since the battle of Gettysburg. I don’t know whether you people realize it, but there is a chance that the Chicago convention may see the last of the Republican party. If it can’t make peace with the Progressives, it will probably run third again, and that will about end its career as a great force in American politics. A great deal has been said of these two branches of the Republican party getting together, but I observe that the leaders on both sides are exactly the leaders of four years ago. On the one side are Barnes, Pen rose and Crane; on the other Roosevelt. Those men are still in control, and the fend between them is just as flerce as it was when the Republican party split. ‘‘Of course, many people will tell you that peace between the Republicans and Progressives is only a matter of a few little adjustments, but let us consider what is going on.

Out of his great golden beard there emerged little lan- guage, but what there war always Was si * as to enrich the wisdom of Spring- haven. He was chief of tiie Springhaven fleet —seven bold fishing smacks, each owned by Springhaven men born who saw -o it that no strangers should use their fishing grounds. They were a snug and plump community, with many fine rules, the chief of which was that if was nv well to work harder than thev needed, and that it was much! better to throw fish away ‘han to undersel! them. Therefore, when Capt.

Sup- pose I was under you, and knew you was getting no more than I was, why, my stomach would fly every time you gave me an order. But as soon as I feels that you pocket a shilling in the time I pockets two pence, the value of your brain ariseth plain before me.” With hawsers and other gear, all supplied the Admiralty, Spring- haven attached its valuable smacks to the French corvette and pulled man- fully. Tt was soft weather and Dland sea. Therefore, the crews were enabled to toil effectively for the British Empire without ruining their cefistitutions and thus causing a loss to the country that could not be paid by a hundred French prizes. They pulled for the week, hard and steadily, with only the pauses dictat- ed by a sane regard for refreshment and rest, but the Blonde refused to quiver. The second week began, and still they pilled, and still the corvette was fast aground. Then there came signs of a change in the weather. ‘‘Rain afore Friday,” said Capt. Zebedee, “and a blow from the sow-west afore Sunday. ‘Twill break up the Blunder, I reckon.” Having permitted this dark prophecy to settle well into the minds of all con- cerned, he sat.down on the beach with Lieut. Scudamore, who was in charge for the Government. “How much will the Government pay the chaps as fetches her out of that snug little berth?’’ asked Capt.. Tug- well with frank candor. “Not a penny beyond the Admiral's terms, which is double pay the day you float her!"’ said Scudmore. “Can't a’most believe it,” said Capt. Zebedee “The English country as I belongs to can't quite ‘a coom to that vet!’ ‘“T fear that the Lieutenant. “Well,” sighed Capt. Tuewell, “if us could ‘a got 60 pound out of Government, why, 80 much more to us and no harm to they. But a must do his duty, in reason, | ‘a don't hurt his self by the same.

This is not because “Springhaven” lacks great qualities, but because “Lorna Doone” is so supreme a work in the estimation of practically all reading peoples that few other modern books can stand comparison with it. by Jullus W.

ITTLE Reddy Fox ran over the hill a one day to see what was going on, for he had seen his father and mother go that way very early in the morning and they had not returned, and Reddy was sure they were having a good time and had forgotten to come home. But his father and mother had gone around another way, so little Reddy missed them, but he didn't miss any- thing else, as you will agree when you read this story. First he saw a duck, and he ran at her, but Madame Duck plunged into the pond near by and little Reddy went in, too. Now, Reddy did not know much about swimming, and down he went into the water, getting his mouth full, and if there had not been a rock sticking up out of the pond little Reddy Fox would have been drowned. ‘How are you going to get off that rock?’ asked one old duck, swimming all around Reddy. ‘‘You can’t get home without getting into the water again."’ “I'll stay here until I grow up, then I can swim, and J'll eat you, too,”” re- plied little Reddy, for he was very quick with an answer. ‘‘Maybe Mr. Dog will come along and chase you off,"’ zaii another duck; “he often comes down to the pond for a drink.” OW, little lieddy had never seen N Mr. Dog, s0 he didn't know any- thing about him, but in a minute he heard a terrible noise and, looking on the other side of the pond, there stood Mr. Dog barking at him. “Chase him, Mr. Dog,” said Madame Duck. ‘He thinks you cannot swim.” Into the wate: went Mr. Dog anid straight for the rock where little Neddy Fox was standing. Just as Mr. Dog got to the rock and wag scrambling up on one side, littla Reddy Fox plunged into the water right into the midst of all the ducks, and, knowing he could not swim much, he just opened his mouth and caught a big duck by the tail. How they all dic quack and swim, and the big duck swam faster than any of them, which carijed little Reddy Fox along at a fast rate, and the other ducks, | feeling from cold or congestion. thinking he was swimming by himself, thought he had fooled them and had old Madame Duck fast in his mouth. Before Mr. Dog could catch up to them the ducks and little Reddy Fox were safe on the bank of the pond, and little Reddy Fox gave old Madame Duck a poke, sending her over on her ‘head in the grass, and off he ran so | fast that the farmer coming over the hill with his gun did not see him. “Where have you been?’ asked his mother. ‘You are all wet. Have you been in the water?” ITTLE REDDY had to te!l her he a had and al! about it, but she didn’t punish him because he had told her where the ducks were, and be- sides that, she felt sure he could help her to catch one or two of them. So she gave little Reddy a cup of hot ginger tea and put him in bed unti! he was dry and warm, and the next dav they went back to the duck pond, and they had duck for dinner.

Then Mother Fox dropped the branch she was carryinr when she came close to the ducks and grabbed the fattest one she could see and swam to the bank, where little Reddy was waiting, so that was the way Reddy Fox got his dinner.

Both the State and the Federal Government recognized this fact by passing laws creating a Government Butterfat Standard for ice cream.

One of Klausov’s men servants brought the tale of the murder. And presently the police found themselves confronted by the most baf- fling mystery of thelr experience. Here, in brief, were the facts that confronted them: Marcus Klausov had lived in a big house on the town’s outskirts. With him had lived his sister and a house- ful of servants. He and his wife, Olga, had long been separated. Olga had loved her husband with an almost in- Sane adoration. But her violent temper had grown unbearable and he had or- dered her out of his home. She now lived in a village some miles away. A servant going to summon Klausov to breakfast had found his bedroom in a fearful state of confusion.

A peasant had seen two men carry- ing a body between them toward a nearby river. Klausov’s servants were questioned. One of them tried to ac- count for the blood spots in the garden by saying he had _ killed a chicken there.

Many Women and Children Witness Texas Lynching— Fingers Cut From Body After Flames Subside. Crowd at*First Planned to Hang Slayer From Bridge — Suspended From Tree and Fire Started. WACO, Tex., May 15.—With 16,000 per- scons as witnesses, including women and children, Jesse Washington, a ne- gro boy, who confessed to the attack and murder of Mrs. Lucy Fryar, seven miles south of here, iast Monday after- noon, was taken from the Fifth Court Vistrict room shortly before noon to- da} and burned on the public square. Vaco has a population of about 30,- 000. The burning came immediately after the negro’s trial had ended, and after the jury had returned a_ verdict of guilty, giving him the death penalty. Someone not far from the negro started the cry of ‘‘Get the negro!’’ It was taken up by all of those from that part of the county, where Mrs. Fryar was killed and Washington was then seized and removed from. the court- room. The mob at first seemed willing to hang the negro from the suspension bridge, but a suggestion that he be burned on the plaza met with instant response, ang he was dragged to the city hall yard, where the chain al- ready around his neck was thrown over the limb of a tree, wood hastily secured and the fire started. When the flames had _ subsided somewhat, some in the mob cut off the negro’s fingers and other parts of his body.

His name was Solomon Rabinowitz. ‘‘Sholom Aleich- err’ (peace be with you) was his pen name. He wrote his ow: epitaph, which, while it loses in translation from the Yiddish, describes his life’s aspiration and purpose—perhap>= failure: Here lies a la‘, man, Who wrote a plain Yiddish, And to readers he was known A humorist, a writer. He laughed all through his life, He fought th wiole world, But all the world was the gainer And he only tke loser.

WASHINGTON, May 15.—The Amer ican Government is preparing a protest officials as ‘‘very vis- vrous’’ against the interference with mails to and from the United States by Great Britain. A note to be sent forward in the near future will take the position that the United States can no tonger counte- nance seizure and detention of mails to and from the United States, particularly those concerning neutrals. The reply recently received from Great Britain to the last American note protesting against interference with Ameérican mails is considered unsatisfactory. Protests have been made to the Government by many individuals and firms who have been injured by the frequent long delays to which tails between Europe and the United States have been subjected. The sub- ject is under detailed study at the State Department and President Wil- son has decided to make representa- tions to°Great Britain as quickly as a note can be completed. The British Government will be informed that the United States considers it impera- tive that her present policy be modi- fied. characterized by British Seized 6670 Letters of One Firm in Few Months.

Hundreds he said, were registered. Another representative of a large American concern reports the loss of 432 letters and orders since January.

To make the Efficiency Board more efficient, Mayor Kiel announced this morning that he would at once issue an order, requiring the three members of the board to put in eight hours a day at the board’s office in the Munic- ipal Courts Building. This order will make no difference with the chairman of the board, Thom- as H. Rogers, who has been accustomed to put in a full day’s work on his job. But it will require the other two mem- bers, Patrick F. Cook, assistant editor of the St. Louis Lumberman, and Har- ry G. Clymer, an architect, to make a considerable change in their. daily ar- rangements, if they are going to hold their places. Cook and Clymer receive the same sal- ary as Rogers, $3000 a year. Cook re- cently said, when asked about his fre- quent absence from the board's office, that he told the Mayor, when he was appointed, that he could not afford to put his whole time on the work. Clymer has also been frequently away from the office. The Mayor’s announcement was made in the course of a hearing, held by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, of which he is a member, on the Et- ficiency Board's request for. another £4000, in addition to its previous appro- rriation of $22,000, to comptete the work cf classifying the city service and stand- ardizing tests and examinations. The Board of Estimate, after hear- ing arguments, reaffirmed its deci- sion of two weeks ago, not to grant the extra $4000. The other members of the Board of Estimate are Comp- troller Player and President Hall of the Board of Aldermen. Paul V. Bunn, efficiency expert of the Simmons Hardware Co., spoke in favor of the $4000 item, and it was in a discussion with him that the Mayor said two members of the Effi- ciency Board were not wereing full time. Dunn réplieqd that the ayor should have the power to make them do so. J. E. Turner, president of the West Ind Business Men's Association, slso appeared in support of the $4000 item. Turner and Bunn admitted that they were residents and voters of St. Louis County. GOV, MAJOR, HERE FOR SEVERAL DAYS, TO PAY OWN HOTEL BILL Gov.

Aero Club in Reply to Ralph Pulitzer’s Sugges- tion Outlines Great Transcontinental Derby With Awards That May Total $100,000. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch NE°V YORK, May 15.—The Aero Club of America announces today the institu- tion of a national aerial derby which shall -be the annual classic of aviators on this side of the Atlantic. This year's race Late event will be a_ transcontinental from New York to the Pacific. August or early September will be the time. As first prize the Executive Committee. of the Aero Club has set aside $20,000 from the national aeroplane fund. This will supplement a silver trophy offered by Ralph Pulitzer, publisher of the World, who devised the plan for a na- tional competition and latd it before the Aero. Club on May 2 Additional cash prizes contemplated by the authorities of the Aero Club wilil make this year’s race worth probably more than $100,000. The trophy offered by Mr. Pulitzer has not yet been designed, but he has indi- cated that it shall be in keeping with the importance of the country’s aero- nautical event. His purposes in offering the trophy are: 'To quicken America’s reetianiodnee in- terest in the science which Americans first developed and gav3 to mankind. To induce cquipment and training of military and civilian aviators for na- tional defense. To demonstrate the practical uses of aeroplanes for transportation of pags- sengers and mail. To op&n the aerial highway. Already extensive plans are under way at the Aero Club for making this year’s competition the greatest aeronautical event in the history. of the United States. Constructors and aviators have indicated their eagerness to enter the race. The leading manufacturers, al- though busy with orders for export, will enter as many machines as can be manned by experienced pllots. Henry Woodhouse,. secretary of first transcontinental the |Aero Club, believes that 20 to @ con- testanta will appear and that. they will make it a race comparable with the great events which stimulated Euro- pean development of aeronautics be- fore the war. Mr. Pulitzer’s letter to Allan R. Haw- ley, president of the Aero Club, fol- lows: “New York, May 2. “Dear Mr. Hawley: My visit ‘ast summer to two of the armies which are fighting on the western front gave mé an exceptionally vivid. realization of the vast importance of the alr service for national defense. “War is of course a rvelous cre- r and in the velopment of continues tv warring nations the aeronautics has been be, as you well know, te incredible. | I may say without any great exaggera- tion that, taking into -consideration all the phases of aeronautics, each monti of war has with these nations meant the advancement of a year of peace. “The reflex stimulus of the war has induced a very remarkable progress in design and construction in this coun- try..

Brown, president of the local branch of the National Security League, today communicate! with the directors of tko league, asking for a meeting this week to consider the prop- osition of a preparedness parade along the lines of that held in New York last Saturday. “All reports show the New York pa- rade was an unqualified success,” said Brown, “and St. Louis needs just such inspiration to do its share in the cause oO: preparedness, I believe that the men of all civic »Dodies would share in such a parade.

Declared to Have Been Hooted Out of Limburg Camp and Assaulted by Irish Prisoners There. Only 50 or 60 Out of 4000 Joined His Cause, kt Is Testified—One of Them on Trial With Him. LONDON, May 15.—BSir Roger Case ment, the supposed head and prime in- stigator of the Sinn Fein rebellion in Ireland, was arraigned today, charged with high treason, ; The few spectators who were permit+ ted to enter the famous old Bow Street Police Court were considerably sur- prised when a second prisoner was placed beside Casement on the dock. Thi: man was Daniel Julian Bailey, a private soldier, whose home is at Wembley, a village near London. ley was arrested near Tralee, Irelan:!, April 21. He was jointly charged with Casement with high treason, but his <x- act connection with the Sinn Feiners has not been made public. In the formal char.» Casement is described as having no occupation and no fixed abode. The charge against both defendants reads: For that they did between the first day of November, 1914, and on divers other occasions between that day and the 2lst day of April, 1916, un- lawfully, maliciously and traitorous- ly commit high . s within and without the realm of England in con- tempt of our sovereign lord, the King. and his laws, to the evil ex- ample of others in like case and contrary to the duty and allegiance of the said defendants. Casement is reported to have made 6 long statement to the authorities and ‘t is believed this statement will consié- erably shorten the hearing before the magistrate. The police court hearing merely a preliminary to the real trial, which will take place later before « panel of judges of high court of justice. Changed in Appearance, Shortly after the Magistrate had taken his seat, Casement and his fellow pris- oner were shown into the dock. Case- ment’s appearance was vastly changed for the worse from that of the man whe gained fame in 1912 by his exposure of the cruelties practiced on natives in Vutumayo by a British rubber company. He sat resting his chin on his hand and cccasionally looking toward the Magts- trate. Attorney-General Sir Frederick E. Smith, A. H. Bodkin and Travers Hum- phreys appeared for the prosecution and Prof. J. H. Morgan and Artemus Jones for the defendants. Sir John Dickinson presided. A number of relatives and friends of Casement, including seven handsomely gcwned women, reached court eariier, and were provided with seats well to the front. Casement smiled and nodded as he saw friends {n the courtroom. As examination proceeded Sir Rocer showed in his movements some slight indications of the nervous strain under wktich he was laboring. ie paid strict attention to the proceedings, however. end occasionally took notes which he ended to his counsel. When the Attorney-General, in open- Ing the case for the prosecution, men- tioned the conferring of the order of kuighthood on Casement the prisoner fropped his head. The Attorner-Gen- eral then outlined the prisoners career, In opening the case for the crown the Attorney-General charged tit Casement had conducteé a systematic campaign among the Irish priscners in Germany with the purpose of seducing them from their allegiance. Batley, he eaid, had been seduced in this manner and had made a statement explaining Casement's action According to the Attorney-General, Hailey was born in Dublin and joined the Royai Irish Rifles in 1990 He served with his regiment in India ana was honorably discharged. On the out- break of the European war Balley was called out as a reservist and salled with the original expeditionary force te France. He was taken prisoner in Kep- tember. 1914 The Attorney-General said Batley had related how a large number of trish prisoners were collected from variwus prixonn in Germany and placed in « large camp at Limburg.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH DISPUTE BETWEEN GREECE MONDAY EVE StS, MAY 15, 1916. =. ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH “promised by Casement, the Attorney: ' | HF GERM ANS AROUSED oe enin as guests of che Games Gove |s AAmerican Aviator Stoned in J apan, ONE OF SIX MEN ernment. In the event that Germany should win a sea battle he would land the brigade in Ireland to defend that ‘country against England, and if Ger- 4vany lost the war the German Gov- ‘arnment would give each man $50 to $100 and free passage to America. : “This is the plan conceived in .15,” paid the Attorney-General, who in 1911 was Grey to convey to the King his deep appreciation of the honor of knighthood which had just been conferred on him.’ When the speaker added that Caso ment’s offer was treated with contempt by a vast majority of the Irish prison- ers, Casement smiled and glanced to- ward Bailey. Sir Frederick Smith forwarded the story of Casement'’s alleged machina- tions in Berlin with details of his trip by submarine to Tralee, where he landed cn Good Friday with Bailey and a third man, named Monteith, who is stil] at large. He also told of the sending of - a ship with 2,000 rifles from Germany to Tralee and of how this ship was sunk at Tralee and the crew captured. Casement’s Flag Exhibited. The Attorney-General here introduced a dramatic touch by i: to the court a green rebel flag which he said Cermany to Ireland. For the prisoner sat with eyes fixed on the; fioor, refuc'ng to look at this emblem of the rebellion. Then he glanc*l up at te flag and smiled derisively. Most of the tim) during the Attorney- General's address Le sat with his el- iow on his knee, stroking his beard— a characteristic pose of the prisoner ever since his incarceration § in the Tower of London. He appeared ob- livious of his surroundings, but occa- sionally he glanced up quickly, show- ing he was listening to the proceed- irgs, notwithstcending his apparent in- attention. In his efforts to raise an Irish brigade among prisoners in Germany to fight against England, the Attorney-General eaid, the prisoner had met with little success. Such men as he won over were set free, provided with green uniforms and received rewards. Whe the Attorney-General declared that one of the Irish prisoners had struck Casement in the face on being asked to join the brigade, Casement smiled in evident amusement. Bailey was one of the prisoners seduced by Casement, the Attorney-General said, and was made an officer of the brigade. The Attorney-General said Casement was found concealed in what is known locally as McKinna’s Fort. He gave the name of R’-*-rd Morton of Buck- inghamshire and his occupation as an author. He was seen to drop a paper which contained a code, including the following: “Await further instruction. Have de- cided to stay. s*urtuer ammunition and rifles are needed. Send another ehip.”’ Testimony Taking Begins. The calling of the witnesses for the crown began immediately after Sir Frederick concluded his address. Sir Roger began to take a more lively in- terest in the proceedings. He seized a pad of paper which had been pro- ‘Vried for him and started to take notes ~pf.the testimony. |*' A statement from Balley was read : by the Attorney-General. Bailey said he “Joined the Irish Brigade at the sug- gestion of Casement to see whether it would be possible to get out.of Ger- Many. After a visit to the German For- eign Office, he said, he was told to make ready to depart and was taken on board the submarine U-19. When they sighted Tralee he was told the visit was in connection with the volunteer movement. He was trans- ferred to a collapsible boat as the sub- marine neared the coast. The boat over- turned as it reached the surf. He had ‘to wade ashore, and then went back to the boat for arms. Bailey said he and Casement reached Tralee and that Case- ment went into the shop of a news agent and inquired whether the com- manding officer had arrived. He was answered in the negative. Bailey was got into a motor car, in which he was arrested. After the formal evidence had been fiven by the police as to the reading of the charge to Casement and Bailey in the Tower of London, Casement arose and said: “Well, that man (pointing to Bailey) is innocent. 1 think the indictment 1s wrongly drawn against him."’ _ Casement then offered to procure ‘ counsel to defend Bailey, who said he was without means. Irish Soldiers Testify, The first witness was John Robinson of Belfast, formerly a, Corporal in the ‘Royal Army Medical Corps, who was one of the prisoners taken to Germany _in the early stages of the war and re- cently released.

Irish prisoners gathered at Limburs to hear Casement’s exhortations, be- Robinson first saw Casement in th prison camp. He was wearing civilian clothes. “What was he doing?” asked counsel for the prosecution. “Spouting about the Irish brigade,’ Robinson replied in a rich brogue. He said Casement promised the Irish pris- oners £10 ($50) each if they joined the Germans and passage to America if Germany lost the war. He also circu- lated pamphiets, including Gaelic and American writings, to further his cause. John Cronin of Cork, formerly a pri- vate of the Munster Fusilliers, corrob- orated Robinson. He said the,prisoners had been treated badly before Casement ; the Germans were more considerate. He said, however, that those who declined to? join the Irish brigade ‘had their bread knocked off.” According to testimony given in the «fternoon by lLaniel O’Brien, another Irish prisoner, who was at Limburg at eha time of. Casement’s visits and who afterward was exchanged, Casement was hissed and hooted out of the Lim- burg camp. Some members of a Mun- ster regiment struck Sir Roger and sev- eral prisoners, including O’Brien, were punished for it, the witness testified, their rations being cut down. Several other witnesses for the pros- ecution gave corroborative testimony regarding the activities of Casement in Germany. ‘he courtroom was as crowded at the afternoon session as during the morn- ing. Almost as soon as adjournment vas taken fo rlunch a new line of men aud women gathered outside and waited ratiently, in the hope of gaining en- trance. When Sir Roger took his place in the dock he did not display any nervousness. The Casement of old, whose self-esteem was a marked fea- ture, was reasserting himself. His spir- its were not dampened even by his wrinkled sack suit, which looked as though he had slept in it in the tower, or by the unlaced shoes which are pro- vided prisoners of his class to prevent them from using the laces to harm themselves. Sir Roger held his head high and smiled as he took his seat beside Bailey. German Press Compares Irish Execu- tions With Cases in Berlin. BERLIN, May 15, by wireless to Say. ville.—The executions by the English in Ireland are featured in the Germar press, causing no little remark in both official and private circles, especially because of the British display of horror and the sentimental agitation over the ervecuting of Miss Cavell and other cases in Belgium. In Government circles there is much comment over what is characterized aa “British hypocrisy revealed by these executions.”’ “Were Germany to proceed so ruth- lessly in Belgium as England has pro- ceeded in Ireland,’’ a high official de- clared to the Post-Dispatch corespon4d ent, “America would resound with hor: ror at the German ‘barbarism.’ But when England does worse, there is only regret for the necessity, according ft» English dispatch from America."’ Referring to the summary shooting cf Editor Skeffington, without knowledge of the Commander in Chief or confirma- ttor. of the death decree, another promi- nent official said: “If that had occurred in Germany it would of course be ev!i- dence of that militarism which England declares must be crushed.” ASQUITH LEAVES DUBLIN FOR A TRIP TO BELFAST Knglish Premier Will Confer With Prominent Men in North on Revolt Situation.

Swanger for Gov- ernor. Swingley said he called for Egge- 'mann’s resignation because he had been tcld that Eggemann said he was being i coerced in the matter of the Governor- snip. Upon his return to his office to- told him he never had made such a ste tement. Swingley said he appointed Eggemann at the request of Mayor Kiel, but that Mayor Kiel had not asked him to de- n.and Eggeman’s resignation. It was reported in political circles that Egge- mann was asked to resign because he favored the nomination of Judge Henry Lamm of Sedalia for Governor. JOHN D. JR. TELLS PASTORS TO PUT EVERY CHRISTIAN TO WORK CLEVELAND, O., May 15.—John D., Rockefeller Jr. addressed today’s ses- sion of the international convention of the Young Men's Christian Associations o? North America, urging a campaign to be called ‘‘the every-Christian-man- at-work movement.”’ Rockefeller stepped outside his sub- ject to take a fling at business men who are fattening their bank accounts on the war, declaring “the selfish ma- terialism of our country stands in marked contrast to the spirit of the men and women in Europe pouring their all on the altar of devotion.” The City Ministers’ Association ad- journed its regular meeting to hear ltockefeller, whose speech was stopped as the ministers filed into the hall. Fcckefeller twitted the ministers for coming late. “Evidenly the ministers had a copy of my speech and timed their coming to get in after I had finished talking about them,” he eaid. “Now 1 will start round two” Rockefelier. ‘‘What we need in our puipits today is more ruggedness and virility.

IN CLAYTON GETS NEW JOB Joshua Richmond Is Appointed Su- perintendent of the Ritenour Con- solidated District in County. Joshua Richmond of Clayton, former- the Clayton schools, but laterly in the real estate business, was appointed superintendent of the Ritenour Consolidated School District at a special meeting of the Ritenour board Saturday night, to suc- ceed Henry C. Etherton, whose contract will] expire July 65. Etherton opposed the three candi- dates for directors supported by the Voters’ League at the last election. The Voters’ League candidates were elected. Etherton says he was not an applicant for re-election because he did not want the job any longer and because he eculdn’t get it if he wanted it. At the Saturday night meeting Presi- dent W. S. Robinson refused to sign a check to pay the second interest coupons on the school district bond is- sue of May, 1915. An application for an injunction against the bond issue was denied some months ago by Judge McElhinney. An appeal is pending. Robinson maintained that at the elec- tion the vote was not properly tabu-. lated.

F., May 15.—The pos- sibility of the acquisition of the French colony of St. Pierre by Newfoundland ‘s veing discussed. France withdrew the last of her fishermen from this side of the Atlantic when the war broke out, resulting in a critical shortage of fish at home. The Newfoundland Govern- ment decided to allow buyers from St. Pierre to purchase Newfoundland her- ting solely for food purposes. This concession, it is believed, wil) cause readjustment of the fisheries que3- tion after the war, and possibly negotia- tions toward the taking over of B8t. Pierre by Newfoundland.

DELAY ON BLOCKADE ISSUES Expected Immediate Action Against England Would Fol- low U-Boat Concessions. 'RESENT LANSING'S STAND Statement That ‘Arbitration Treaty Prevented Speedy Ac- tion Causes Unrest. By KARL H. VON WIEGAND. A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and the New York World. (Convright, 1916, by Press Pub. Co.) BERLIN (via Amsterdam and Lon- dcn), May 15.—Following the recent American notes—which members <¢” the Government characterize as ‘‘the brusquest and the most discourteous manner in which one friendly Power has ever spoken to another’’—Germany is experiencing another bitter disap- rointment. That disappointment is provoked by Secretary Lansing’s statement, issued simultaneously with the note accepting Germany's U-boat concessions, in which he explained that prompt action ogainst the British blockade was not to be expected because of the arbitra- tion treaty with Great Britain. In official and unofficial circles, as well as in the press, this statement is interpreted as notice to Germany—in answer to the “hope’’ or ‘“‘expectation’”’ expressed in her note to America—that Germany need build no hopes of relief from the British blockade methods upon any possible pressure from the Wash- ington Government. Expected Prompt Blockade Action. One of the Government’s chief and most telling arguments advanced to overcome the opposition to restricting submarine warfare, not only of strong and influential elements outside the Government but the opposition within the Government itself, was that if the ques:ion between Germany and Amer- ica were settled in accordance with President Wils@n’s wishes, they then would promptly insist that Great Britain also must respect American rights on the sea. While no assurance of this nature were given to the German Government, the Government here expected to justify to its people its action in conceding Presi- dent Wilson’s demands against a strong public opposition, with hope for pressure by Washington upon England, is beyond all doubt. Lansing’s statement is taken to mean that special treaties between America and England are of such a nature that the Washington Government cannot we!] proceed, promptly, against alleged Brit- ish violations. In this is seen the partiality which ts firmly believed here prevails in the Washington Government. “What would the Washington Govern- ment have done had there been some ar- bitration agreement between Germany and America?” asked one of the promi- nent members of the Government. “President Wilson and Secretary Lan- Sing would have declared that America could not and would not arbitrate any- thing involving such a principle of American rights. It would have said that, because it was Germany and not England,”’ he quickly answered. himself. It can be said that the Lansing state- ment, as read here, is understood as in- dicating the lack of intention and the lack of will on the part of Washington, now or in the near future, to move against England in the blockade matter. Already the Government is being treat- ed with a chorus of “I told you so.” So far as the Government here is con- cerned, it probably would have been more agreeable to it and less disad- vantageous, had Lansing said nothing whatever regarding Washington's in- tentions or lack of intentions, rather than what he did say. His statement, whether correctly or erroneously in- terpreted here as a curt “Nothing do- ing,’’ has set the opposition elements at work again. Answer Might Have Been Different. The statement is ma‘de in high quar- ters that had Secretary Lansing issued his statement before Germany's answer had been sent, it is not improbable that there would have been an entirely dif- ferent ans\.er, The Reuter version of the Lansing statement, which was the first to be re- ceived and printed here, was so lacking in clearness, especially with regard io the references to treaties or agreements btween America and England that it immediately revived legends of a secret alliance between the two countries, to which it was believed Secretary Lansing referred. Ambassador Gerard took the initia- tive to put a check to that mischievous talk, which found ready belief here, by making a vigorous denial.

BERLIN, by wireless to Sayville, M -—The British have been at- tacking the German lines near Hul- luch in Northern France in an effort to recapture the trenches recently taken by the Germans there, but all their attempts have been repulsed, according to today’s statement by the War Office. In the Verdun region the French failed in attacks near Dead Man Hill and near the Caillette Wood. The statement says: “The enemy attempted to recapture the positions taken by the Germans near Hulluch. “All his attempts either broke down under the German artillery fire or were repulsed in hand-to-hand fighting. ‘French attacks in the Meuse district on the west slope of Dead Man Hill and near the Caillette Wood were eas- ily repulsed.” Heavy Fighting Between Russians and Turks in| Asia Minor.

Gun —_—— dor to Germany, published in the Koel- neiche Volks Zeitung last Friday, deal- ing with the statement made by Secre- tary Lansing after President Wilson's last note to Germany had been dis- patched, and with the existing arbitra- tion treaty between the United States and Great Britain, is attracting wide in- terest in England. The treaty was ratified in the early days of the war, almost unnoticed by the British public, which is only now beginning to realize its potential im- portance, especially coupled with the fact that similar treaties exist between the United States and other entenie Powers, but not between the United States and Germany. English papers, commenting on Mr. Gerard’s statement, gave full details of the treaty and the personnel of the so- called permanent peace commission to administer it. The Graphic, in an edi- torial headed “Our friendship with America,” says: “Two important facts stand out. The first is that should any accident occur to antagonize America and England the two nations could not come to blows, if at all, until a cooling period for an in- quiry which might be the means of averting war. Second, that America could not join our enemies and fight against us until a similar course of in- quiring into the subject of the dispute between ourselves and America expired, though on the other hand she could join the allies without any delay as far ag the restrictions are concerned. The treaty touches most usefully the psycn- ology of war.’’ Germany Admits Torpedoing of Sus- sex to Spain. MADRID, May 15.—The Spanish For- cign Office has received a note from the German Government, announcing that the steamer Sussex was torpedoed by a German submarine, the explana- tion being given that the commander bonestly believed it to be a warship. The German Government greatly de- plored the misfortune and expressed re- gret that Enrique Granados, the Span- ish composer, and his wife were among the victims. Germany declared its readiness to indemnify the families of those who perished. The Foreign Minister has instructed the Spanish Ambassador at Berlin to thank the German Government.

BIRD CLUB ADDS 10 MORE ; if 7 New Additions Are Found on Hast Side of Creve Coeur Lake, an Ornithological Mecca. Members of the St. Louits-Bird Club have added 10 kinds of birds to the 59 species they have previously fcund at Creve Coeur Lake. The list of 59 species of bird life was published in the Post- Dispatch a week ago. The new addi- tions are: Turkey buzzard, Bob White, red-bellied woodpecker, alder flycatcher, Acadian flycatcher, -edar waxwinc, black-throated blue warbler, bay- breasted warbler, house wren, Wilson's thrush. The.study of bird life thus far made has been on the east side of the lake. The marshy shores in the north and south, with their pecutiar and interest- ing bird life, have yet to be examined. Creve Coeur is believed to be the home of fully 100 varieties of Lirds, a larger number than is to be found in any other single locality of the itiddle West. A number of the chief needs of bird ‘ife are met there, by the concentration, within a smail area, of water. bluffs. lowlands, cultivated fields and a variety of trees and shrubs.

BETTER BORDER GUARD PLANNED By CLAIR KENAMORE. A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch, EL PASO, Tex., May 15.—Army in- struction schools in the South and West have been closed, and the officers and noncommissioned officers who were at- tending them have been ordered to re- join their commands on the border. Three car loads of noncoms: from the. Fort Sill Musketry School passed through Saturday night, bound for Co- lumbus. From Fort Leavenworth, all the officers of the line schools have etarted to the border. These officers include men from the infantry, field ar- tillery and signal corps. » This action will result in bringing the border units up to their highest point of efficiency, and is exceedingly pleas- ant news to the border country, where evidence of intention to move against Mexico is the thing most sought. Full Border Protection Expected. The many littlé incidents which tend ie keep the reiations tense continue. Texas rangers reported yesterday that soldiers from the Juarez garrison fired at them across the Rio Grande near Ysleta, 15 miles south of El Paso. Dep- uty Sheriffs hurried to the scene and lav in hiding for two hours, but no more thots were fired. What inspires the additional prepara- tion in this lull of activities is not hnown, but the obvious interpretation is that the fullest protection is to be riven the border, and the troops are to be put in readiness for any eventuality. The calling out of the national guard of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas -was another move in this direction. The moral effect of these orders on the Mexican populace, civilian and military, will doubtless be very good, and it is possible this will be the result sought. nomination. He said that, according to Sniping across the river is an hourly occurrence. Both side take part, and while the identity of the Mexican snip- ers is unknown here, it is ulways as- sumed that soldiers are doing the shoot- ing. Major-General Funston telephoned an order here that an investigation be made of a fire at Fort Bliss Saturday night, in which two cavalry horses, two stables and a large amount of supplies were burned. It is suspected that the fires were of incendiary origin, as the two blazes in separate parts of the camp broke out about the same time. The flames had gained considerable headway before being discovered, and Gen. Funston is curfous to know what the sentries were doing t’.at the alarm was not given sooner.

In a word it is thin blood. When the fading color in cheeks and lips is accompanied by a loss of bright- ness in the eyes and an increasing heaviness in the step, the cause is to be sought in the state of the blood. A hundred causes may contribute to the condition of thin blood that is known as anemia. Overwork, lack of out-door exercise, insufficient rest and sleep, improper diet, these are a few ofthem. The important thing is to re- store the blood to normal, to build it up so that the color will return to cheeks and lips. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are the great blood builder and invigorator.

He admitted that tic league's investigation into the Gardner matter virtually had been finished, but would not make a statement as to the findings.

Brandeis’ nomination to the Supreme Court was discussed again today by the Senate Judiciary Committee in executive session and the Senators present were bound to secrecy. The report was current and gener- ally crediteg that the committee had decided to report the nomination wifhout a recommendation and let the Senate deal with it entirely. Su- to Make the ~iLate —_ dent of the league, said that the let- ter had not been sent to candidates other than Gardner. He said that the league was going to use all of its efforts to defeat Gardner for the nomination, and failing to do so in the primary election, would carry the fight into the general election. The Gardner campaign managers say that no candidate can be elected Governor who commits himself either to the drys or the wets. as the votes of both the drys and the wets are necessary to elect. The only thing a candidate can do, and hope to win, ‘is to remain neutral. referendum against it. Gardner did not reply to the letter, his campaign managers said, be- cause the league at the time the let- ter was written had already come out against him. Gardner’s managers charged the league with unfairness, and circulated a letter Written by Gardner's pastor, the Rev, Wliliam Wirt King of the Grace Methodist Church, to offset the effect of the attack.

Curtiss won the rrize, covering the 137 miles in 152 min utes. In June, 1910, the World arranged for Glenn H. Curtiss to drop bombs from an eroaplane on the figure of a battleship on Lake Kuka, New York. This experiment, entirely successful, furnished the first demonstration of the possibilities of aeroplanes in warfaré. Pursuant to the World’s suggestion that aeroplanes should be utilized as naval auxiliaries, Nov. 14, 1910, Eugene B. Ely flew from the. deck of a United States battleship five miles to shore at Hampton Roads. “On July 16, 1910, the World and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch jointly offered $30,000 for the first flight be- tween New York and St. Louls in either Girection, betreeen Aug. 15 and Dec. 3t of that year. The flight was to be made within 190 consecutive hours, a condition which contestants failed to meet. ‘Record to Be Proud Of.” “This is a remarkable record of which the World can »e very proud. News- papers and likewise organizations and individuals had faith in aeronautics in those days. The men who co-operate in making this competition a success will feel as gratified in a few years as we feel when we look back to only a few years ago. “It is a fact that when the problems of immediately improving the national defenses are considered there is found that aeronautics afford possibilities for quick developments and immediate re- lief at only a fraction of the cost of de- veloping other arms. “Of all the weapons produced by this war, the aeroplane is the most efficient. It protects, it destroys, it fights. It is the super-spy, super-scout, super-bel- ligerent. It is also a fact that greater developments can be brought about in aeronautics for a given investment of time or money than in any other line of human endeavor. With 6000 trained aviators, this country would be in the safe position of a porcupine which goes about its daily pursuits, harms no one, but is ever ready to defend itself. “Again thanking you on behalf of the aeronautic movement for your substan- tial support, and assuring you of our hearty co-operation to make the trans- continental competition a success, we beg to remain, cordially yours, “THE AERO CLUB OF AMERICA, “Alan R.

Rigby Sentenced Afte> Pleading Guilty to $18,182 Em- beszlement in Eight Years. Robert E. Rigby, 34 years old, of 2107 Adelaide avenue, pleaded guilty in Judge Grimm's court today to embez- zling $18,132.72 from the Wabash Railroad Co. and on the recommendation of Cir- cuit Attorney Harvey he was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary. He will be taken to Jefferson City tomor- row to begin serving his sentence. Rigby was assistant cashier in the treasurer's office of the railroad. March 16 he confessed to F. L. O'Leary, the treasurer, that for eight years he had been holding out cash daily and cover- ing the shortage with paper. He said he had lost the money on poker and horse races. The Circuit Attorney said the embez- zlement was large, but on account of the money having been taken from remit- tances of agents in escattered towns, a trial would be costly in time and money and he, therefore, recommend- ed the three years sentence.

Plans for completing two permanent roads between St. Louis and Springfield, Mo., were discussed today at a meeting held at the Planters Hotel and attended by representatives of the Automobile Club of St. Louis, the Business Men’s League, the Greater Springfield Commit- tee and the officials of the Ozark Trails | Association. John T. Woodruff, chairman of the Greater Springfield Committee, told a Post-Dispatch reporter before the meet- irg that if St. Louis would co-operate with Springfield and the towns on the route of the gwo roads that both roads would be cofmpletéd before the end of the year. When the roads are complet- ed, he said, it would be possible to trav- el from St. Louis to Springfield by auto in less than a day. Woodruff and a party of good roads boosters arrived in St. Louis Saturday night, having started from Springfield in automobiles Friday morning. They held meetings in more than a dozen towns en route. Woodruff said that the road be- tween Springfield and Houston, in Texas County, was in _ first-class shape, and that the section of the road between Houston and St. Louis could be made with comparatively little work. In many sections of the country the ground contains so much gravel, he said, that all that was was to grade the road. Spending $100,000 for Roads. The Greater Springfield Committee is composed of delegates from the, Springfield Club, the Manufacturers and Jobbers’ Association, the Young Men's Rusiness Club, the Retail Mer- chants’ Association and the Commer- cial Club. The Greater Springfield Committee has taken hold® of road building propositions as a part of its work, Woodruff said, and - is -spend- ing $100,000 in promoting and build- ing roads. Of the two proposed permanent roads to Springfield, one, by a southern rouie, vould be by way of Mansfield, Seymour, Mountain Grove, Cabool, Houston, Rolla. Cuba and Union. The other, by a north- ern route, would be along the main line of the Frisco railroad to lebanon, Marshfield, Richland and Dixon, anc from Dixon to Vienna, Owensville and Union. Both routes would be the same from Union to St. Louis. Springfield pays the salary of a good roads expert who lays out the routes of the roads, organizes special road dis- tricts, and renders other services. W. H. Seed, a highway engineer, who t!s with the Ozark Trails party, is the ex- pert employed. An attorney is also eni- ployed to render free legal advice in the matter of bond issues. The Greate.- Springfield Committee also offers its services free in the sale of bonds. Woodruff said that since the commilit- tee undertook its good roads promotion more than $1,000,000 had been voted. principally by goods roads districts, in Greene, Lawrence, Barry, Wright, Web ster, Laclede, Christian and Taney coun ties, and that more than 1000 miles cf rermanent roads either had been con- — | a sicinieriveninsi-dinneaiellclvaiabesuairanirenantoienrvahanateiaae a 1 Ht i a i | 750 Linen, 55c 45-inch colored dress Linen, plain colors.

OME 14,000 Cardinal rooters came closer to being satisfied with defeat yesterday than they have been since the first vote was taken on the The adolescent little army of Miller Huggins bit the . dust, 3-2, but only after the most stubborn, satisfying fight of the season. Free Bridge bonds. Big Jeff Pfeffer, who has won four . of his five games this season, didn’t ' fool the Cards half as handily as he has other clubs. He was touched for ' nine hits, including a triple and a . home run, and he was saved at least from an extra inning battle by the breaks—including those in Bob Ems- lie’s line of vision. Hmslie missed a Corhan in the seventh. He called Cor- han out when Daubert was pulled off the bag by Mowrey’s throw and then ‘ along came Hornsby with a home run. That would have knotted the score and with Ames to finish up the Cards’ chances surely looked hter than Brooklyn’s. However, that’s the break. As for Emslie, it is ertinent to remember that he has een a member of the National League staff for 27 years without ever having officiated in a world’s series. There's something wrong somewhere, probably the ocular nerve. Emslie Misses Play. Sallee’s work was the only disap- pointment. The Old Master Deaf a lay at first on practice in years past of beafing Brooklyn, but Manager Robinson. ~ terday benched Casey Stengel, a left- handed hitter, and put Jimmy John- ston in right field. Johnston’s triple started Sallee on the road to ruin. It followed Daubert’s single in the sixth. Mowrey’s triple came a second later and then Cutshaw’s single. That virulent attack netted three runs and » , vietory, 8—2. But the tenacious agp fight of the Cards won the sympathy of the rooters. ‘In their portion of the sixth the locals ! bbed a run. Hug was cheered when e batted for Sallee and, again when “he singled through Mowrey. Bescher forced him, but retrieved his batting failure by stealing second. After Smith failed, Betzel singled, scoring Bescher. Then came Hornsby’s home run in the seventh, and after that a tearful in- cident in the eighth. Bescher opened with a triple, but never scored. With the infield drawn in, Smith, Betzel and Wilson fell down and the Brooklyn boys owned the box score. Cards Fail in Eighth. Manager Huggins has been guilty of few managerial slips this season, but his strategy in the seventh was condemned by the grand stand manager. With two out and none on, Synder singled.

C. A.C. BOUT Young Benny’s Manager Claims His Protege Is Positively Championship Timber. PREVIOUS BOUT FAILED} Same Principals Failed to Meet at Keokuk A. C, Because of Small House. By Harry S. Sharpe, Referee for the Future City Athletic Club and the Post-Dispatch’s Boxing Authority. ‘*Young’’ Benny, the New York bantam-weight, is to get the chance he has been waiting for since his arrival in St. Louis about three months ago—an opportunity to show before the Future City Athletic Club. He has been matched before that in. Situation with Jimmy Murphy for an eight-round bout tomorrow night. Not only is Benny glad to appear be- fore the leading boxing club of St. Louis, but he says Murphy is his choice of all the local bantams, and his man- ager makes powerful predictions of the result. Benny’s manager is one of the most enthusiastic Managers seen in our midst for some time. He is satisfied that Benny is the coming world’s champion and relegates such boxers as “Young” Zulu Kid, ‘“‘Dutch” Brandt and Johnny Solberg to the junk heap as compared to his boy. He is satis- fled that after the bout tomorrow night al! St. Louis will hail Benny ag a won-| der, and make the recently acquired —— of Benny McNeill fade to a razzie. A Jumping Hyena. “This boy is a humping, jumping, bumping, thumping hyena, and when we get through cleaning up here we will be ready for Johnny Ertle and ‘Kid’ Williams, one at a time or both of them the same night. Wait till you see my boy Tuesday night, and if he isn’t all wool and a yard wide I’ll never have another word to say.” Benny had been matched with Jimmy Murphy before the Keokuk A. C. on the night of April 15, but when it came time for the bout to go on there wasn’t enough money in the house to buy a rupply of peanuts for Jim, the Forest Park elephant. The scarcity of money on that occasion made no difference to Benny, but it did to Murphy and the latter was conspicuous by his absence. Benny, weighing about 112 pounds, threw himself in the ring and nearly anni- hilated a substitute for Murphy in the person of Billy Scanlan, a soldier from Jefferson Barracks. Scanlan weighed about 130, but was so fat he exploded at the end of the first round. Referee Takes Chances. The only real test of Benny's merit in St. Louis came when he met Leo Schneider at Jefferson Barracks on the night of March 8. Schneider was award- ed the decision on points by Referee Eddie Randall, much to the chagrin, disappointment and violent protest of Benny, his manager and friends. In fact, Randall says he had reason to. fear an attack by the opposing forces) that night and was given an escort of regular United States infantry to insure his safe passage to the car. Once on the car he found himself worse off than before, but, believing discretion the bet- ter part of valor, he avoided a conflict by ignoring the pushes and criticism di- | rected his way. Referee Randall now recalls the circumstances of that night as merely incidental to the life of a referee. In justification of Randall’s decision, however, it may be said that it was substantiated by many competent judges of boxing who were at the ring- side. If Benny is so he is said to be (and he has clippings to bear it out) the bout between he and Murphy tomorrow night is going to be a geod one. Murphy can be beaten, but it takes a good one to do ft.

Just the mere text of the new Eleventh Edition, printed in ordinary type would make three or four hundred volumes of average book size; and at a dollar and a half a volume this would mean they would cost at least four or five hun ollars— . thatis, nearly ten times what the Britannica may be had for in the new “‘Handy Vol-' ume’”’ Issue.

Prices in many lines have risen at an almost fabulous rate. A list is given in an adjoining column. Nor does this rise seem temporary. We seem entering upon an era of still higher prices and of rapidly expanding trade. The basic industry of the country, farming, is receiving high prices for all its products. A heavy congestion of freight rules all over the country. There isa shortage of cars, And of locomotives to haul them. Industry is humming. Two-thirds of the factories of the nation are working overtime. Not in twenty years has the like been seen. AN OPPORTUNITY PASSING What is plain is that the opportunity to obtain the new edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica at the present prices will not be repeated. In some of the more expensive bindings exhaustion is already near; and in the most expensive, the full seal binding, hardly a hundred sets remain. We therefore give notice that in a very short time the sale will close, our offer will be withdrawn and the Britannica will be obtainable only at very much higher prices. There is still time to send for the handsome 130-page book described below, but we urge those who have been hesitating to for- ward their orders at the earliest possible time. any given subject.

Zh OS \ > 4 ORPETS TRIAL FOR DEATH OF GIRL BY POISON IS. BEGUN Student Charged With Murder of High School Miss at Lake Forest, Ill. SAYS SHE;KILLED HERSELF Evidence to Be Presented at Waukegan Expected to Be Largely Circumstantial. CHICAGO, May 15.—The trial of Will H. Orphet, University of Wisconsin stu- dent. on a charge of murdering Marion Lambert, Lake Forest High School girl, opened at Waukegan today with the se- lection of jurors. A first venire of 133 men was ordered to report, but owing to the wide publicity given to the case, it is not expected that the jury will be completed from this number. Evidence to be presented, it is said, will be largely circumstantial, and the question for the jury to decide will be wiether the girl took the poison which caused her death or whether Orphet ad- ministered it to her. State’s Attorney Ralph Daddy of Lake County will conduct the prosecution and James H. Wilkerson, former United States Listrict Attorney at Chicago, and Leslie H. Hanna, former State’s Attor- ney for Lake County, will appear for the defense. Orpet and Miss Lambert were sweet- hearts, but the yvouth’s affection cooled and he became engaged to another girl. It developed in investigation of the case that while Miss Lambert previously had feared a child was to be born to her, her fears were removed and that her statements to Orpet shortly before her death that they had been renewed were fabricated in an effort to win his mack. Orpet’s father and the father of the girl both are gardeners, employed on big estates at Lake Forest, a suburb of Chi- cago. Each had a supply of cyanide of potassium to fight plant pests. The de- fense will allege that the poison was as available to the girl as to her tormer sweetheart. The State will bear on Orpet’s attempt to establish an alibi. He is said to have made elaborate arrangements to make it appear that he was at the University | of Wisconsin when he was in fact on a | trip to Lake Forest to see Miss Lambert. _Uusy Bee Bakery Special This Week. ‘“rench Butter Ring Coffee Cake. l5c ea. MAN SHOOTS SELF THROUGH THE HEAD, BUT MAY RECOVER Eullet Ranges Around Skull of Leg- less Popcorn Vender, But Dees Not Penetrate Brain. | David Sappington, a legless peanut | and popeorn vender, 61 years old, shot ‘himself in the head at the home of his sister, Mrs. Sarah Wilson, in Edwards- \ille, today. Though the bullet entered ot the forehead and emerged at the back of the head, surgeons found that it ranged around the skull,-under the skin, and did not penetrate to the brain. It is believed he will recover. Sappington’s legs were cut off by a switch engine, 12 years ago, when he was an office employe of the Madison Coal Corporation. For many years he sold popcorn and peanuts from a wagon in front of the Edwardsville Courthouse. When the new $300,000 courthouse was opened a short time ago the authori- ties decided that Sappington’s wagon did not harmonize with the new build- ing and he was relegated to a side street. Since then his business had not’ pros- pered. Today was the day when he would have been required to take out a new peddler’s license.

On numerous occasions in the past few weeks, I have seen the assertion made in your editorial columns that in view of the present difficulty in keeping up the enlisted strength of the national guard, it would be impossible to recruit this or- ganization to 400,000 men. From the position of one who has served a three- year enlistment in our local regiment, your rea- soning appears to be faulty. In the first place, membership in the national guard at the present time is a case of giving semething for nothing, a system on which no organization can be a success. When a young man énlists in the national Guard under the present conditions, he binds himself to give a_ certin amount of his time each week to military drill and instruction. This sounds very easy, but after the first three or four months, when the novelty tegins to wear off, military drill and instruction Lecomes like anything else which one is obligated tu do, it becomes hard work. In return for this hard work he gets nothing but glory. Have you ‘ever noticed what a lot of glory there is about the national guard service and what a distin- guished honor it is to be a buck private in the rear rank? The result is that after six months or a year, the recruits begin to tire of the monotony of military service and unless their courage is kept up by an earnest desire to perfect themselves in things military (there are about 10 men in every 100 who come under this classification) they drift away. The receive no pay for their service, there- fore cannot be compelled to keep up their duties, and the only thing to be done after continued at- sences from drill is to discharge them. About 400 or 600 men are discharged from the regiment this way every year, after having served from six months to a ycar or more. Under the provisions of the new militia pay bill, the.memters of the national guard will re- ceive a small compensation for their service, which will more than reimburse them for the time which they devote to the service and will also ive those in authority over them power to compel \ithem to complete their three years’ service as they would be compelled to do in the regular army. {There are few men in the regulars who were not thoroughly disgusted with the service afier their first few months, but then comes pro- motion and life commences to take on a new in- terest. It would have the same effect on tne guard. If all the men enlisted under the present condi- tions, which have absolutely nothing to offer in return for the service, were compelled to carry out their full enlistments instead of being permitted to quit at any time they feel inclined to do so, St. Louls would now have at least three regiments instead of one, as you will note by the figures quoted above, which will show that nearly 1600 men are discharged in the course of three years’ time in the local militia for non-attendance/ of drill or other causes which would not te per- . mitted to occur under the proposed new system. These 1500 men represent the strength of two regiments on peace footing. I believe the above facts will show you that the idea that 400,000 men could not be obtained for the national gvard is as erroneous as the asser- tion that we should not authorize an army of 250,000 men simply because someone thinks this Trumber of mer could not be obtained. Give the national guard a chance and, above ali, don't be constantly harping on its present condition. Remember, you're getting something for nothing. : EX-NATIONAL GUARDSMAN. ’ Vandalism With a Purpose. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. During a recent visit to Calvary Cemetery I was surprised to note the number of gravestones that had Leen dislodged from their places and were lying prostrate upon the ground. Nearly all were ruined beyond repair and upon close examination, the tell-tale marks of the pinch-bar or chise)l-bar were evident. Such vandalism should be in- restigated. OBSERVER. State Examining Boards To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It seems to all the intelligent professional men that the State Board of Examiners should super- vise the final examinations in the colleges and that the examining boards are not only derelict but antiquated who insist on additional exami- nations outside of the schools. The @uty of the State Examining Board is so to regulate col- leges as not to permit them to graduate ipeffi- eient students for the sake of additional lucre. This is what we really are fighting for.

Commenting on the evidence in the replies from Missouri editors of a strong sentiment in favor of adequate preparedness in the Midwestern States, the Post-Dispatch proposed a nation-wide pre- paredness demonstration in all cities—a national preparedness day, following the example of New York’s great parade. Sunday we referred par- ticularly to the value of a ‘popular preparedness demonstration in these words: . The sentiment in St. Louis is stronger than in the interior of the State. A great popular demonstration’ in this city would have a tre- mendous effect on public sentiment and on Congress. It maybe necessary for the mén and women of &St. Louis and other Western cities to express by popular demonstration thelr demand for adequate preparation. It would be well for the Mayor, as the local representative of the Municipal Security League, and the local officers of the National Beourity League to consider the wisdom and practicability of a St. Louis demonstration. The need of a demonstration was never greater than now. . Congress is only half awake. The compromise army bill is not:satisfactory. An army of 206,000 men-has been ¢reated on paper. Provision has been made for volunteer camps and training. An attempt is made to federalize the militia and to raise it to a strength of 425,000. But there is no guarantee that a dependable army will be trained subject to service on call. There will not be a guarantee of this kind until every able-bodied citizen is trained for military duty and is subject to service whenever needed— until the duty of military service in time of need is made obligatory for the defense of the country, just as taxes are made obligatory for the support cot the, Government. Congress is just beginning to realize the needs of the navy. There is no doubt of the majority sentiment of the Middle West. Out of 41 Missouri editors who ceplied to the questions of the Post-Dispatch—the poll is not complete—30 unqualifiedly voted for adequate preparedness; two were in doubt and nine opposed specjal preparation. In the cities the sentiment is stronger than in the country. Interviews in’ the Republic this mornigg from Mayor Kiel, President Hall of the Board of Alder- men, George M.

A popular demonstration of Mid-West senti- ment before the national conventions would have a tremendous effect, not only on Congress, but on the national. poMtical conventions. A... din.» — So WHOSE FAULT IS IT, JUDGE? Judge Priest says that if the childishly silly mo- tion for. which he asks the serious consideration of the Supreme Court is denied, ‘‘the defendant will never have had an opportunity to have his defense heard.” If such opportunity has not been had after 13 years of litigation, when will it be had? é On the far-fetched assumption that the absurd statement is true, whose fault is it of the utmost has not been done for a defendant that has occu- pied the attention of so many Judges during the lapse of so great a period of time? oo A» ww THE RURAL OREDIT BILL. With the objectionable rider, exempting em- ployes of the Federal Farm Loan Board from Civil Service rules, eliminated, the Rural Credits bill passed by the Senate and now before the House has many desirable features. , It will enable fafmers to obtain loans at lower rates of interest than at present, and persons de- siring to buy farm lands will have as long as 36 years to pay principal and interest in easy an- nual installments. This will diminish tenancy and increase the number of home owners. Opponents of the bill ask why the farmer should be favored. Why, says the Philadelphia Inquirer, should one class of citizens be supplied with money by Uncle Sam, while ALL THE OTHERS are left to their own resources and re- quired to hustle around on the principle of root hog or die? Has the Inquirer forgotten that, under the banking laws, any number cf citizens, not less than five, may organize a national bank, and that, by the law of 1913, the Federal Reserve Board will issue to such a bank Federal Reserve notes, such notes being secured by the bank’s “redis- counted, high-grade commercial paper?” It used to be required of national banks that they de- posit Government bonds for all Government notes issued to them. That is no longer necessary. The banks turn over paper, that is to say, what appears to be well-secured promissory notes and other evidences of indebtedness: to themselves, and in exchange receive Government money. The farm owner or buyer turns over to the Farm Loan Board, under the proposed act, his land—which is his all. It is something that only a natural cataclysm can destroy. And he re- ceives as a loan, not its full value, but half its full value, carefully appraised. It is difficult to see favoritism toward the farm owner or buyer fn this. - = = i i ATTRITION IN THE GERMAN ARMIES. In the British estimate of 2,822,079 as the total casualties of all. German armies, an interesting point is the small number of prisoners—137,798. The total is only 334,892, if all those who are classified as “missing” and who must include many unknown dead, are added. As the slightl¥ wounded number 1,141,169, the total wastage of*all German armies in dead, se- verely wounded and prisoners appears to be only 1,681,911, which number may include not a few men available for guarding lines of communica- tion or lighter but necessary duty. It is to be assumed that the British have not minimized German losses in the estimate, but a wastage of 1,681,911 during 21 months of war fig- ures out a permanent loss of about 80,000 a month for all fronte—Turkish, Balkan, Russian, French and Belgian—or about 960,000 a year. April’s to- tal losses, including those at Verdun's “greatest battle in history,” are placed at only 91,162, of whom thousands can return to the ranks. Horrifying as these figures are, considered in terms of national sacrifice, they do not justify & too sanguine reliance on attrition. If it is true that between 600,000 and 600,000 reach military age yearly in Germany, two-thirds of the killed It was suggested that the St. Louis demonstra-} net losses reducing military strength at the rate of not more than: 350,000 a yéar, attrition will be a long time in whittling down the German armies. Germany claims to have prisoners of war aloné more than her own permanent losses in effectives. — a It almost seems time for Peter Parley to drop the Mexican problem. -_—_—__—_——__-——-@ © @- MAKE 8ST. LOUIS A STATION. The transcontinental aerial center, concerning which full information is given in today’s Post- Dispatch, has a special interest for St. Louis. The contest, which was suggested by Ralph Pulitzer, publisher of the New York World, who offers a silver trophy for the winner, will be held under the supervision of the Aero Club of America. The object of the contest is to stimulate interest in aviation in America which, as Mr. Pulitzer says in his letter to the Aero Club, gave “the world wings.” WBurope, under the forcing pressure of war, is making giant strides in avia- tion while America lags. One of the results of the contest, which may become an annual event, will be the promotion of aviation invention and manufacture and the training of aviators for mili- tary service when needed. It is expected to de- velop a transcontinental touring route. The prizes announced range from $1500 to $20,000. \ The special interest for St. Louls Hes in the selection of stations where the aviators will stop for rest and supplies on their way between oceans. St. Louis as the metropolis of the Mississippi Valley and one of the first western cities to take up practical aviation, should be the principal middle west station. It will be necessary to raise a fund for expenses and for participation in the prize list. There should be no delay in putting St. Louis into the contest. The time selected for the contest will be a date in August or Septem- ber.. The loca] Aero Club and the Business Men’s League should act promptly. = = * rw ea On the border and on the sea American life must be protected. = = * -~ wT MOTIVE IN THE WAR. In a statement just pricr to the uprising, Pat- rick H. Pearse, President of the Irish republic, said: Look at the war in Flanders! What are the motives underlying this struggle? Are these motives just and noble? Is Ireland's struggle with England more sacred? Yes, it is. No jealousies of trade, no political rivalries in the Balkans, no ambitions for ocean supremacy entered into the causes that brought about the attempt to bring Irish independence by force. A conviction of what Irish destiny demands for its fulfillment, a desire to benefit themselves and their compatriots, a genuine affection for the motherland, explain the origin of the brief phase of the war that for the first time brought the fighting to Ireland. If it comes to a question of motive, what bel- ligerents have taken up arms under purer, more disinterested promptings than the misguided Irish insurrectionists? a «& rr The Texas lady now busy on her ninth divorce might give expert testimony as to where some marriages are ‘‘made.”’ + -_— — ASPIRING CINCINNATI YOUTH, The Golden Age of Pericles is redivivus over at Cincinnati. W. B. Melish, president of the Cincin- nati Chamber of Commerce, who came here to tell the Business Men’s League how the Ohio city has cleaned up, told something about a movement stir- ring the youth of Cincinnati. Twenty-five hundred of the older pupils of the schools are members of the Civic and Vocational League, which was started at the suggestion of the Chamber of Commerce and is fostered and en- couraged by it. And these 2500 youths have taken the Athenian oath, the oath which the Athenian youth took, after sitting at the feet of the philos- ophers. They call it “The Oath of the Athenian Youth.” It is on a tablet set into the wall at the entrance of the Hughes High School: We will never bring disgrace to this our city by any act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our suffering comrades in the ranks; we will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city both alone and with many; we will revere and obey the city’s laws and do our best to incite a like respect in those above us who are prone to annul or set them at naught; we will strive unceasingly to quicken the public sense of-civic duty. Thus, in all these ways, we will transmit this city not only not fess, but greater and more beau- tiful than it was transmitted to us. Not only the youth but the citizenship of St. Louis would do well to take the oath of the Athenian youth. a A. vwrluve Matters might be worse.

This thing of setting up the clock an hour or two for the sake of getting up an hour or two earlier may be all right for England and Scandi- navia, but it won’t do over here. Not for the clock at our house. It doesn’t need any setting up. What it needs is setting back. It is in many respects a very estimable clock, but it is inclined to be fast. It runs all night. Every morning it raises a disturbance when we want te sleep and alarms the whole neighborhood. And we have to get up and go to work an hour or two sooner than we want to. How it gets through the night so quickly is a mystery. Gentle slcoep has barely kissed our eye- lids when the family clock slams our ears with its unearthly clamor and night is no more. Who wants more daylight? Nobody does. What we need in this country, and especially at our house, is less daylight, particularly early in the morning. Another thing we need is a Society for the Suppression of the Alarm Clock. If it cannot bo entirely suppressed, maybe it can be set back an hour or two. That would help some. To those land disabled have already been replaced. With ] who would set up our clock we say, hands off. i _ af “" r r > s Ros at PP Paes © .

I don’t know whether you people realize it, but there is a chance that the Chicago convention may see the last of the Republican party. If it can’t make peace with the Progressives, it will probably run third again, and that will about end its career as a great force in American politics. A great deal has been said of these two branches of the Republican party getting together, but I observe that the leaders on both sides are exactly the leaders of four years ago. On the one side are Barnes, Pen- rose and Crane; on the other Roosevelt. . Those men are still in control, and the feud between them is just as flerce as it was when the Republican party split. , ‘‘Of course, many people will tell you that peace between the Republicans and Progressives is only a matter of a few little adjustments, but let us consider what is going on.

Today's story is from R. D. Blackmore's “Springhaven,” which depicts a similar state of affairs during the time of the Napoleonic wars.) APT. ZEBEDEE TUGWELL was - a wonderful man of large under- standing, who well hnew what he owed to himself. He had a back like an elephant and was firmly resolved on having his own way. Out of his great golden beard there emerged little Jan- guage, but what there wae always was s\* as to enrich the wisdom of Spring- haven. He was chief of the Springhaven fleet —seven bold fishing smacks, each owned by Springhaven men born who saw -o it that no strangers should use their fishing grounds. They were a snug and plump community, with many fine rules, the chief of which was that it was not well to work harder than they needed, and that it was mucl better to throw fish away ‘han to undersell them. Therefore, when Capt. Honeyman, in the British 38-gun ship Leda, drove the French corvette Blonde hard and fast on the White Pig, a sunken bank off Sprinrhaven, these good men, aware that they deserved much, were gla‘ that Providence had done them some justice. They recognized that it was their patriotic duty to ,et t-.. Frencn prize off for their country and that they must be paid well for it. Two guineas a day for each crew was the price agreed between Capt. Tugwell and Admiral Darling, whose hard-work- ing conscience was twitched by the strife between his duty to his native land and his duty to his native village of Springhaven. As an Englishman, he felt that the Springhaven fleet was Likely to make more out of it than could be made from the finest fishing; but, as a Springhaven man, he was constrained to admit the common justicc in Capt. Zebedee’s position when the latter point- ed out that they threw in their boats free of charge. “The same as our breeches,”’ said Capt. Zebedee. ‘‘When- ever we works, we throws in they, and we ought to do the very same with our hoats.”’ They Tugged Away at the Boat for More Than a Week. HOROUGHLY sound English in- dignation overcame the Spring- haven men because of the scurvy terms offered by the Govern- ment; but the patriotism conquered and Capt. Zebedee offered generously to take command ofthe salvage fleet, and refused to claim any credit for it except double pay for himself and his family. “I does it,’ he said, “without any intention of bettering myself, but mainly for the sake of discipline and the respectability of things. Sup- pose I was under you, and knew you was getting no more than I was, why, my stomach would fly every time you gave mean order. But as soon as I feels that you pocket a shilling in the time I pockets two pence, the value of your brain ariseth plain before me.” With hawsers and other gear, all supplied by the Admiralty, Spring- haven attached its valuable smacks to the French corvette and pulled man- fully. It was soft weather and a dland sea. Therefore, the crews were enabled to toil effectively for the British Empire without ruining their cefistitutions and thus causing a loss to the country that could not be paid by a hundred French prizes. They pulled for the week, hard and steadily, with only the pauses dictat- ed by a sane regard for refreshment and rest, but the Blonde fused to quiver. The second week began, and still they pilled, and still the corvette was fast aground. Then there came signs of a change in the weather. ‘‘Rain afore Friday,’ said Capt. Zebedee, ‘“‘and a blow from the sow-west afore Sunday. ‘Twill break up the Blunder, I reckon." Having permitted this dark prophecy to settle well into the minds of all con- cerned, he sat.down on the beach with Lieut. Scudamore, who was in charge for the Government. “How much will the Government pay the chaps as fetches her out of that snug little berth?’’ asked Capt. Tug- well with frank candor. “Not a penny beyond the Admiral’s terms, which is double pay the day you float her!" said Scudmore. “Can't a'most believe it,” said Capt. Zebedee. ‘“‘The English country as I belongs to can’t quite ‘a coom to that yet!"’ “I fear that it has, indeed,” insisted the Lieutenant. “Well,” sighed Capt. Tugwell, “if us could ‘a got 60 pound out of Government, why, 80 much more to us and no harm to they. But a Engtishman must do his duty, in reason, and when ‘a don't hurt his self by the same. There's a change in the weather as forbids more. delay. You shall have the Blunder off tomorrow, lad!" “How can you say that,’ demanded the Lieutenant, “‘after laboring nine days all in vain?” All the Time They Knew They Were Pulling the Wrong Way APT. ZEBEDE®D hesitated be- tween discretion and pride of knowledge. Then he shook his golden beard with a kind, proud smile. “With winter time coming, sir, and the weeks fishing lost, our duty to our families was to pull her on harder, and with the help of the Lord we have adoed it well.” “How could you be so dishonest?’ roared Scudamore. “Young man,” answered Tugwell, with Lee _— such words. But I forgive ‘e and allowance for youth.’’ He pulled cut of his hat tue Government contract. ‘This contraction.” said he severely, ‘““‘was signed by yourself and Admiral Darling for and on behalf of the king- dom, and the words are for us to give our serviccs to pull, haul, tow, warp or otherwise as directed’’— “Please not to read ail that!’ the Lieutenant. “Very good, sir,” said Zebedee. “Then you see how it standeth. Who hath broken the agreement? Not us! We was paid for to haul, and haul we did, according to superior orders. She ground- ed from the south with the tide mak- ing uppard; and the Admiral and you, without no knowledge of the Pig what- somever, fastens all your pulley-haulies by the starn and says, ‘Now pull!’ And pull us did, to the tune of 16 guineas a day, for the honor of Springhaven. “But tomorrow,’’ continued he, ‘‘you shift all the guns and heavy lumber forrad to lift up her starn, and we will tackle her by the head, and off she comes. ‘Twill ve well, though, to have Admiral Darling sround the correr first, sir. Not that he knoweth much about it, but "a might make believe to do so. And when ’a hath seen us pull wrong ways a hundred and twenty guineas’ worth, ‘a might prudge us the reward for pulling right ways. I’ve knowed him to get into that state of mind, although it was his own tenants.”’ “And you knew all the time that it was wrong!” exclaimed Lieut, Scuda- more, ‘‘I never came across such peo- ple!’’ “Springhaven is like that,”’ answered Capt. Zebedee, with becoming pride. “We does a thing one and all together, even if us reasons concerning it.” cried “Springhaven” appeared in 1887, 18 years after that great and famous novel “Lorna Doone.” Blackmore himself declared that “Springhaven” was a better work than “Lorna Doone,” but the world declines to agree with him. This is not because “Springhaven” lacks great qualities, but because “Lorna Doone” is so supreme a work in the estimation of practically all reading peoples that few other modern books can stand comparison with it.

But his father and mother had gone around another way, so little Reddy missed them, but he didn’t miss any- thing else, as you will agrec when you read this story. First he saw a duck, and he ran at her, but Madame Duck plunged into the pond near by and little Reddy went in, too. Now, Reddy did not know much about swimming, and down he went into the water, getting his mouth full, and if there had not been a rock sticking up out of the pond little Reddy Fox would have been ,drowned. “How are you going to get off that rock?” asked one old duck, swimming all around Reddy. “You can’t get home without getting into the water again."’ “y’]] stay here until I grow up, then I can swim, and J'll eat you, too,”’ re- plied little Reddy, for he was very quick with an answer. “Maybe Mr. Dog will come along and chase you off,” said another duck; “he often comes down to the pond for a drink.”’ OW, little Iieddy had never seen Mr. Dog, so he didn’t know any- thing about him, but in a minute he heard a terrible noise and, looking on the other side of the pond, there stood Mr. Dog barking at him. “Chase him, Mr. Dog,” said Madame Duck. “He thinks you cannot swim.”’ Into the wate: went Mr. Dog anid straight for the rock where little Reddy Fox was standing. Just as Mr. Dog got to the rock and was scrambling up on one side, little Reddy Fox plunged into the water right into the midst of all the ducks, and, knowing he could not swim much, he just opened his mouth and caught a big duck by the tail. How they all di€ quack and swim, and the big duck swam faster than any of them, which cariied little Reddy Fox along at a fast rate, and the other ducks, thinking he was swimming by himself, thought he had fooled them and had old Madame Duck fast in his mouth. Before Mr. Dog could catch up to them the ducks and little Reddy Fox were safe on the bank of the pond, and little Reddy Fox gave old Madame Duck a poke, sending her over on her head in the grass, and off he ran so fast that the farmer coming over the hill with his gun did not see him. “Where have you been?’ asked his mother. “You are all wet. Have you been in the water?” | ITTLE REDDY had to tell her he ITTLE Reddy Fox ran over the hill had and all about it, but she didn’t punish him because he had told her where the ducks were, and be- sides that, she felt sure he could help her to catch one or two of them. So she gave little Reddy a cup of hot ginger tea and put him in bed until he was dry and warm, and the next day they went back to the duck pond, and they had duck for dinner. Of course, his mothe- let him think he really did catch the duck they were jeating, but little Reddy Fox only stood A. Walker. on the bank and ran back and forth, while his mother swam along in the pond with a branch of a tree in her mouth, awhich the ducks thought had fallen into the pond, and they were watching little Reddy Fox on the bank. Then Mother Fox dropped the branch she was carryine when she came close to the ducks and grabbed the fattest one she could see and swam to the bank, where little Reddy was waiting, so that was the way Reddy Fox got his dinner.

THE MATCH—By T was on an Uctober morning that) the Servian police were notified of the murder of Marcus Klausov, a retired army officer. One of Kliausov's men servants brought the tale of the murder. And presently the police found themselves confronted by the most baf- fling mystery of thelr experience. Here, in brief, were the facts that confronted them: Marcus Klausov had lived in a big house on the town’s outskirts. With him had lived his sister and a house- ful of servants. He and his wife, Olga, had long been separated. Olga had loved her husband with an almost in- sane adoration. But her violent temper had grown unbearable and he had or- dered her out of his home: She now lived in a village some miles away. A servant going to summon Klausov to breakfast had found his bedroom in a fearful state of confusion. Except for one boot that lay near the bed, there was no sign of Klausov himself. A window was open. The ground out- 6000 WORK FOR SICK WOMEN The Woman’s Medicine Has Proved Its Worth When Lydia E. Pinkham’s rem- edies were first introduced, their curative powers were doubted and had to be proved. But the proof came, and gradually the use of them spread over the whole country. Now that hundreds of thousands of women have experienced the most beneficial effects from the use of these medicines, their value has be- come generally recognized, and Ly- die E. Pinkham’s Vegetable- Com- pound is the standard medicine for women. The following letter is only one of the thousands on file in the Pink- ham officey at Lynn, Mass., proving that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is an article of great nier- it as shown by the results it pro- duces. Anamosa, Iowa.—‘‘ When I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound I suffered with a female trouble, and my system was in a general run-down condition. I would have the headache for a week and my back would ache so bad when I would bend down I could hardly straighten up. My sister was sick in bed for two months and dcee- tored, but did not get any relief. She saw an advertisement of your medicine and tried it and got better. She told me what it had done f)- her, and when I had raken only to hottles of Lydia F.. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound my head began to feel better.

They decided that Klau- sov had been attacked just as he began to undress (the discarded boot more men must have seized him. dragged him out into the garden and there stabbed him to death, afterwards hauling his body away. A peasant had seen two men carry- ing a body between them toward a nearby river. Klausov’s servants were questioned. One of them tried to ac- count for the blood spots in the garden by saying he had _ killed a chicken there. Another wore a rough blue suit which matched several shreds of cloth on a thorn bush under the window. Both these men were arrested. Both were found to have unsavory records. Both told confused and conflicting sto- ries. Then it was that Dukovski took a hand in the game. Dukovski wage the police Sherlock Ilolmes of that region. Prowling about the wrecked bedroom he found on the floor a’match of odd pattern. No matches of that sort were used in the Kiatusov home or in that neighborhood. lukovski made a round of the stores for a 10-mile radius. At last he found a dealer who said he haa recently sold a hox of such matches. He had sold then to Olga, the discard- ed wife of Klausov.

The scared woman broke down and led them to a locked outhouse near by. There on a shelf uay Klausoyv. To the astonishment of the police the supposed murdered man rose on one elbow and blinked sleepi!ly down on them. Then came the truth Olga (loving her husband too dearly to keep away from him and unable to make him consent to take her back aga.n) had hit on the plan of kidnaping him. She had bribed tw> of his servants to help her. The tris had overpowered Klausov as he started to undress one night and had carrief him to Olga’s cottage. There he had ‘been locked up in the outhouse and tol:i he must stay there until he should con- sent to be reconciled to his too-adoring spouse. “I'm tn solitary confinement,"’ hic- coughed Klausov, as he finished his story. ‘I'm fed and she gives me plenty to drink. But I'm getting tired of it. In a week or so I think I'll try to escape.”’ “Bugges at Night.” T= rare version of the Bible which in one place declares ‘“‘Thou shalt not need to be afraid for any bugges at night,”" should create a furore in New Jersey and other mosquito localities un- tul it is explained that “bugges” means bogie, and is the word which the King James version renders as ‘‘terrors.” St. Louis Dairy Company’s ice cream owes its superiority over other makes to the fact that it is made strictly according to the State and Fed- eral Government Butterfat Standard. Every gallon of cream that goes into this ‘ice cream is tested by expert analysts to make certain that the finished ice cream will con- tain the full legal percentage of butterfat. The result is uniformly good ice cream; far more smooth, more delicious and more nourishing than ordinary ice cream. Whenever you see the slo- gan, “St. Louis Dairy Company's Guaranteed Ice Cream,’’ you may be sure that extra good ice cream is sold there. Let your children have ice cream oftener; it is the most healthful, nour- ishing food they can eat. The more butterfat in ice cream, the richer, smooth- er, More nourishing it is. Both the State and the Federal Government recognized this fact by passing laws creating a Government Butterfat Standard for ice cream. eS Se ~_ oo — %% ° ‘ 4 - ’ 4 : : ; £ 7 ; ; & | : ’ * ; * < i ‘ 5 i ¢ 4 ’ i ' ; ] ’ - - ba & ; | : ' q * ; ec & ' ‘ + ’ a < ‘ ¥ ' © 7 ; ; ' ; ; 3 ual or a Po} \e a ae This is true of some soaps. of Ivory.

GE MUST =| ASK FOR PEACE UT TENDER | President Poincare of France Replies to Chancellor’s Words as to War’s End. NANCY, May 16.—President Poincare, in an address here yesterday, responded to Germany's declaration regarding peace contained in the German reply to the American note. ‘France does not want Germany to tender peace,’’ said the President, ‘‘but’ wants here adversary to ask for peace.” The President then made known clear- ly the only kind of peace which would be acceptable to France. The address was delivered at the Molitor Garrison before a large number of Lorraine refu- gees, to whom the President, after ex- pressing his sympathies and renewing promises of solicitude and protection, said: “France will not expose her sons to the dangers of new aggressions. The central empires, haunted by remorse for having brought on the war, and terrified by the {ndignation and hatredahey have stirred up in mankind, are trying today to make the world believe that the En- tente Allies alone are responsible for the prolongation of hostilities—a dull irony which will deceive no one. “Neither directly nor indirectly have our enemies offered us peace. But we do not want them to offer it to us; we want them to ask it of us. We do not want to submit to their conditions; we want to impose ours on them. We io not want a peace which would leave imperial Germany with the power to re- commence the war and keep Europe eternally menaced.

THE POST. DISPATCH’S DAILY RECORD OF MARKETS AND FINAN MONDAY EVENING, ‘MAY 15, 1916. __ST.LOUIS bOST-DISPATCH ~ QUOTATIONS ON STOCKS RECORD WIDE ADVANCES): ¢ Some Issues Are 3 to 5 ee Higher; Traders Ignore Peace Talk. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 15.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial review, togay, says: “Accompanied by a more active mar- ket and a greater volume of gales than had been witnessed for a week, prices on the Stock Exchange today again moved upward sharply, with few of the setbacks that had occurred frequently in recent days. Industrial shares, espe- cially in the motor stocks, were the most prominent in the trading, except for one or two railroad issues like Reading and St. Paul, which kept pace in a measure with the industrial shares. “In fact, the railway issues, while de- nied the leadership, were no exception to the general upward trend. Advances of 3, 4 or 5 points in some of the in- dustrial stocks were common. The steel stocks were special favorites. Market Ignmores Peace Talk. “Assuming that Wall street gave se- rious attention to the reiterated _ that the war might be nearing its end the action of stocks apparently indicated a shifting of the viewpoint that pre- vailed when any rumor of peace was —- to send manyughares tum- “Hor one thing, it was assumed that a desire for gory on the part of Ger- many would act as a check on the en- terprise of submarine commanders, since it was argued that that country could hardly wish to become enibroiled in fresh trouble with the United States, at such Hw me, 2: “Along with the disposition to min- imize the importance of the out-and-out ‘war stocks,’ which has peen evident for fome time, and the growing belief that the cessation of the kind of business they have been conducting will not se- riously alter the industrial outlook of the country, the trend of sentiment today, under auspices still largely professional, get toward thé industrial list, as a whole, with especial attention directed toward the motor issues and with the railway shares participating in the advance. “Rumors in regard to dividends, merg- ers and fresh business of one kind or another helped along the advance in special securities. ‘“‘How far today’s market represented n easier feeling over the foreign situa- p by how far a fresh interpretation @ outlook for peace, was a question possibie to be definitely answered, be- ew two factors were inter-related, both doubtless figured in the move- t of prices. “One of the noteworthy aspects of the t week was the fact that in te of the ‘peace talk’ which filled the , the shares of the munitions manu- rers suffered no precipitate de- clines, the week’s net changes being ' fractional in man any cases. “For instance, estinghouse Electric ned &% point in the week, and Amer- can Can %, while in neither of the loco- motive stocks nor in Crucible did the *week’s decline amount to as much as 2 points. This class of stocks today lost. its market leadership to the most substantial issues, but was carried along to a oertain extent In the general up- ward movement of the industrial shares. The Export Figures, “Of the various classes of mate- rials entering into total domestic ex- ports in arch of $406,204,688, against $292,360,231 in March, 1915, the only groups showing an increase were the finished and semi-finished manufactures, according to the Gov- ernment statistics published today. “Materials partly manufactured for further use in manufactures totaled $64,000,000, an increase since March a year ago of per cent, while manufactures ready for consump- tion, which constituted half the total domestic exports, gained 150 =per eent. With shipments of completed war material now running large, it will be interesting to see what ratio such exports bear to ageresste ship- ments of manufactured products. “No definite influences could be de- tected in the foreign exchange market, where rates were little altered and where quotations, in most cases, re- mained practically nominal. “Sterling sold fractionally lower, and German marks were quoted at 76\%c for 4 marks, compared with 77% on Sat- urday. Slight fluctuations carried the rate for lire somewhat further against Rome, and in favor of Vienna, tock- holm checks were somewhat’ lower, with no especial feature to be seen in this department. Francs were changed only fractionally. REBELS OBEY U. S, AND QUIT CAPITAL OF SANTO DOMINGO Strip Forts of Guns and Depart in Accordance With Ultimatum of American Minister. SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Repub- lic, May 15.—The warning of the Ameri- can Minister, W. W. Russell, that the city of Santo Domingo would be taken by force unless it was given up by the rebels not later than Sunday morning, resulted in the evacuation of the city Saturday night. The rebel leaders and rural guards stripped the fort of guns and war mate- rials and withdrew from the city, leav- ing the civil police in charge. They notified Mr. Russell of their with- drawal. WASHINGTON, May 15.—Landing of more American marines at San Domingo -to deal with the revolution led by Gen. Arias, Minister of War, against former President Jiminez, was reported today to the Navy Department by Rear Admiral Caperton, commanding the American forces. So far no hostilities have been reported. Secretary Daniels said today about 500 marines have been landed. NEW FRISCO REORGANIZATION PLAN IS TO BE SUBMITTED Sam Lazarus Notifies Public Service Commission and Proposal Is Said to Be by Stockholders. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., May 15.—The State Public Service Commission was notified today that a new plan for re-" organizing the St. Louls & San Francis- co Railway would be submitted for its approval late this month. The notification was served by Sam Lazerus of St. Louis, a large stockhold- er in the road. The commission set the “ort date of May 2 for the hear- It is understood his plan will be one pepeares by the stockholders, a proposal bondholders recently having been ted by the commission. | STOCKS, Alaska Gold Am.

What's the matter with you now?” exclaimed Mr. Jarr. “You are like all the rest of them!” replied Mrs. Jarr cnokingly. ‘While I scrape and save at ‘1ome to make one dollar do the work of four you are out having a good time, eating deli- cacies, spending your money on a lot of people who wouldn't give you ten cents if you were starving! And then you sneer at the breakfast we have at home. Oatmeal is good enough for your wife: oatmeal is good enough for your children” +~— ar, “But we had eggs and we had steak. It was a very good breakfast, indeed. No, I wasn’t finding any fault. Hon- estly I wasn’t!’ cried Mr. Jarr. He hadn’t had a chance to open the eggs; and his steak was getting cold on his plate. But he thought to placate her, despite this. = “I gaw you sneering,” sniffed Mrs. Jerr. “If you wanted strawberries, why @idn’t you bring them home? But, no, you buy them for your friends, for those men down at your office; for that @us at the corner; for that man Ran- gie; for that awful old Mr. Slavinsky, the glazier, maybe!’’ “Surely you don’t mean that!’ he waid in surprise. “Why should I buy Strewberries for that bunch? Are you crazy or am Irv’ Mrs. Jarz only continued sobbing and Mr. Jarr, with continued calmness, went on. “The fact is,” he said, “I have just had one strawberry this spring so far.” “It must have been interesting to have Seen you and her eating a hothouse strawberry together!” snapped Mrs. Jarr. “Her?

Don't deny it!" replied his good lady. “She telephoned me the other day she had some hothouse strawberries her hus- band brought her that were as big as tomatoes.” “Great geewhilikens! I haven’t seen the woman. I wouldn’t eat strawberries with her if I did. If you want to know, I had one in a cocktail with Jenkins!’’ And he slammed out of the house. “Strawber-r-i-e-4!"’ cried a street ped- dier in his ears.

A Guilty Conscience. YOUNG fellow who was the crack sprinter of his town—somewhere in the South—was unfortunate enough to have a very dilatory laundress. One evening, when he was out for a prac- tice run in his rather airy and abbre- viated track costume, he chanced to dash past the house of that dusky lady, who at the time was a couple of weeks in arrears with his washing. He had scarcely reached home again when the bell rang fegiously and an ex- cited voice was wafted in from the porch: “Foh de Lewd’s sake! won't you-all tell Marse Bob please not to go out no moh till I kin git his clo’es round to him?” The Heroine OTHER!” cried the beautiful girl, as she burst into her mother’s stateroom on the transatlantic liner Wombat, “mother, I'ma heroine! I saved 3000 lives.’’ ‘ *‘How so?’ queried the languid lady, lazily. ‘‘How so?” “Oh, mother to think of the times I have read Sir Walter Scott and Conan Doyle and the other masters of romance and wished myself in the place of their heroines! It has been the dream of my life. And at last it has come true. I am a heroine.” - “But how, Vasmaline?’’ asked her petulant parent. “Oh, mother, the second mate—you know, the handsome officer with the eyebrows—the second mate was talking to me on the lee hatchway or some- where, and all of a sudden he demanded a kiss. Of course, I indignantly refused. And then, oh, mother, he swore if I didn’t kiss him he would sink the ship with all of the 3000 passengers aboard. Oh, mother, T am a heroine!’*—London Tit-Bits. Serviceable. MONG the clerks in the office of one of the Cabinet members at Washington is a very dull young man, who seems never to be able to do any- thing without making mf®takes. “Why do you keep that fellow?’ asked a colleague one day. ‘“‘He seems a perfect fool.” “Well,” said the other, “‘the fact 1s, he is one of the most useful clerks I have.
