H., May 20.—Clouds of volcanic smoke and steam burst from the Mauna Loa on the Island of Hawaii last night and today. The lava fountains and fire lake on Kilauea are unusually No damage has been reported and no alarm is felt. The clouds of steam and smoke rose to the estimated height of 20,000 feet and the tremendous spectacle was visible for hundreds of miles. Tava is reported flowing from Mauna Loa, but this is unconfirmed. No fires are visible on Mauna Loa. If lava is flowing it is believed to be on the west side of the mountain. Prof. Thomas A. Jagger Jr. of the Institute of Technology and director of the Kil- auea, is on his wav to Mauna Loa by automobile to investigate the reports of flowing lava. active. reports from ronolulu have indicated gradually increasing activ- ii; in Halemaumau, the fire pit of Kilauea.

ACTIVE: HUGHES INDORSED BY Tht NEW YORK STAATS ZENTUNG Editorial Declares He Is Man of “Real Neutrality,” and Should Be Nominated. raps | PAPERS SILENT: ‘OTHER Chicago and Milwaukee German Language Journals Have Pledged Support to No One. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 20.—The New York Staats Zeitung prints an editorial ad- vocating the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Charles E. Hughes as the Republican presidential candidate. The Staats Zeitung asserts that President Wilson’s opponent should be a man of “real neutrality’’ and adds, ‘“‘such a man is Hughes.’’ In some quarters the declaration of the Staats Zeitung wa~ interpreted as forecasting announcements of German language newspapers throughout the country in favor of the Hughes candi- dacy. In Chicago, however, Edward Selbmann, city editor of the Illinois Staats Zeitung, denied that the German press of the country is preparing to sup- port Hughes. “Not until after the Democratic and Republican conventions,”’ said Selbmann, ‘will the Germans make their choice. You can safely say, however, that there will be no German votes cast for Wil- s0n, Roosevelt or Root.” Milwaukee German language newspa- pers have not as yet promoted the cause of any presidential candidate. They have printed numerous editorials criti- cising Wilson and Roosevelt. Their managers said yesterday that support would be pledged to no candidate until the conventions had made their nomina- tions. Twenty-six uninstructed dele- gates from Wisconsin are reported to favor the nomination of Hughes. Of the ib pledged to La Follette four are Mil- waukee Germans and three Germans from rural districts. The New York Staats Zeitung’s edi- torial contends that ‘Justice Hughes plainly stands at the head of the list of the men upon whose candidacy the Republicans and Progressives can unite.’ It also says that the war situa- tion will play a prominent part in the campaign and that Wilson will be called upon to defend his handling of the evun- try’s foreign policy. nliaidetelliebbidiitaiai WORK ON Boom FOR GEN. WOOD IS BEGUN IN CHICAGO Expected That He Might Be Nominated if There Is a Pro- longed Deadlock. CHICAGO, May 2. Leonard A. Wood, it is said are plan- ning to present his name to the Re- publican national convention as a com- promise candidate for President. They believe that if there is a prolonged dead- lock in the balloting he may have a chance to win. His supporters assert that he would be acceptable to Col. Roosevelt who would be urged to campaign for him. ; John A. Stewart, former secretary of the League of Republican Clubs of New York State, said to be in charge of the campaign of Gen. Wood, arrived in gChicago today. Political literature has been sent to the convention dele- gates and it is said that headquarters for’ him will be opened in Chicago next week. Mercer Vernon of Washington, D. C., arrived here today as the advance agent of the presidential boom of Senator John W.

NOLKER TELLS OF HER EFFORTS 10 GIVE ‘BOB A HOME Says Her Ambition Was to Have Children, Not to ‘‘Guzzle in Cafes.”’ ‘DIDN’T WANT A_ CAREER, Only Studied Opera to Give Husband Atmosphere of Cul- ture and Refinement. Mrs. Pearl Elizabeth Hyman Nolker of the St. Regis Apartments, 4954 Lindell bowevard, in an interview with a Post- Dispatch reporter yesterday, gave her version of the domestic trouble which resulted in the filing of a divorce suit by her husband, Robert E. Nolker, pres- ident of the Aero Club of St. Louis and secretary of the Commercial Electric Supply Co. Nolker in his petition, filed yesterday afternoon, alleged that his wife called him a ‘‘Dutch boob,”’ objected to having children and had an inordinate ambition to become an opera singer. Denying all these allegations, Mrs. Nolker counters by saying her husband stayed out late at night and thwarted her efforts to make a cultured home for him. Mrs. Nolker was seated at the piano in her finely furnished apartment, sing- ing an old Italian song, ‘Son tutta duola,’’ (Desponding, ,onely) when a Post-Dispatch reporter called. When told of the divorce suit she walked to the window, and murmured;— “The unadulterated nerve of him!” ‘“‘Are you surprised?’ she was asked “I’m past being surprised at any- thing,’’ she answered, as she grasped the drapery, ‘‘Would not any woman be surprised when an important event like marriage ends this way, and the man she married didn’t protect her?’’ The “Baby” Marlowe Suit. Turning, she ensconced herself on a chaise-lounge in the corner of her music room, clasped her negligee -ightly about her, drew her feet upon the lounge and covered her ankles with a pillow. “Mr. Nolker and his attorney, Mr. Frumberg, are most honorable men,” she remarked slowly, with a cynical smile. “Still, it is hardly creditable that any husband would go so far to protect himself against damage as to file a divorce suit. And it is not believable of a real man. He knows ‘Baby’ Marlowe's suit comes up next month.” . She read aloud excerpts of her hus- band’s divorce petition, which the re- porter handed her. “T guess the only way to vindicate myself will be to go into court to pro- tect myself from the mud which he throws at me,” she said, as she turned the pages. She smiled as she read many of the allegations. “Called him a ‘Dutch boob? Why, the word ‘boob’ isn’t in my vocabulary. And I thought St. Louis provincial? Why, any place can be in- teresting. even Belleville.”” She smiled again at his various allegations of cruel- ty and pronounced them “simply ridicu- lous.”’ But when questioned about her matri- monial troubles she grew serious. “My ambition was to make a home of culture for Bob,”’’ she explained. ‘‘That was my wish. my ambition — not merely to go around and ‘guzzle’ in cafes. 1 wanted a home of refinement for him, and that is what I tried to make. for Children. ambition was for children, and to qualify myself for them, that I might be able to give them the benefit of my training and ed- ucation. And 1 wanted Bob qualified, too. You see, I wanted home not mere- ly a place, but a condition. And the qualities for solitude are different from the qualities fur the crowded cafe, aren’t they”? “But Bob began going around a great deal at night. He was past 30, but I thought perhaps he had been held in a great deal, so I gave him a little rope. I thought that he would soon tire of if, would quit running around, but | Was wrong. He continued. ‘Then there were nights I sat alone here, waiting for him to return home. He was where—O, I don't know where. Then I realized that to make home more pleasant for Bob I must make more strenuous efforts. It was my duty as a wife to please him. I went to Paris to cultivate my voice more, to atudy so that I might sing and please him. “You see, it was either that or divorce —we were drifting toward the latter. [ never longed for an operatic career. I did all that I could. I made every. ef- fort to qualify myself as a perfect companion for him. ‘Then I returned to 4 Desire ‘But my highest New York. I laided some aspiring persons there—and it made Bob angry: perhaps he didn't understand. It was no more than if I would put a poultice on a person's neck who was suffering, just the same as you or anyone else would do for a person, and then forget all about it the next day.”’ She smiled at his allegation that she had associated with persons of ques- tionable character. ‘‘Here, let me show you seme of my friends,’ she said, arising. and going over to the piano, which were several photo- graphs. “Look at these autographed photographs given me.” Among them were the pictures of Patti, Gadski, Verlet, Kubelik and Sem- brich and other stars of the musical on Recent Portrait of Singer Whom Husband Has Sued for Divorce MBS.

Blair,’ was due yesterday, said today, when seen at his home: “Everything is closed. The bank perfectly satisfied.” He declined to say in what manner the $76,000 obligation had been taken care of. That was getting too personal, he said, and he did not care to discuss it. It was up to the bank, he said, to give any further information that it saw fit. Bank officials would not make a state- ment. Van Dyne said he would remain in St. Louis, making trips to Joplin as often as necessary to look after his mining in- terests.

SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 20, 1916. — ONEREGIMENTIS OUT OF MEXICO: ANOTHER COMING Indications Multiply That Troops Are to Be Concentrated at the Border. NEW TRAINS OF TRUCKS Difficult Problem to Supply Pa- trol at Line—Guardsmen Being Trained. EL PASO, Tex., Sixth Cavalry withdrawn from Mexico and ordered to patrol the border in the Big Bend country, and with a regiment of infantry marching northward from Colonia Dublan, indications multiply that the United States expedition is preparing to get out of Mexico and con- gregate on the border. The headquarters and most advanced base at Namiquipa is to be withdrawn to Dublan, according to creditable ad- vices from the field, and it is the be- lief that the most of the troops, prepar- atory to the final withdrawal, will be gathered at Boca Grande, which is only a few miles from the border. The Sixth Cavalry entrained today at Columbus and will be taken at once to the new station at Sierra Blanca, Marfa, Alpine and Marathon. Officers who have had charge of truck trains with the expedition passed through El Paso yesterday, San- Antonio to take over the trucks, from which five new trains will be formed. These will work in the diffi- cult Big Bend country to feed the new border patrol.

GUARDS SLOW TO MOBILIZE,PLANS OF FUNSTON DELAYED Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to Furnish Only 3000 Men for Patrol Duty. WASHINGTON, May 2%.—Gen. Fun- ston’s realignment of the border patrol is being delayed, War Department of- ficials said today, by slow mobilization of the Arizona and New Mexico Na- tional Guard and by the disappointing showing in numbers and equipment of gome of the guard companies that have reported for service. Although it has been 10 days since . President Wilson called out the Texas, Arizona and New Mexico guardsmen for patrol duty along the border, their mobilisation and assignment is far from complete. The Texas companies re- sponded promptly, but in the other two States the call has not met with as quick a response as officials expected. In addition, so many companies in all three States have been found t6 be be- low their paper strength that the War Department now expects the total guardsmen provided will not be more than 3000, and probably a few hundred less. When the call was issued it was dependent on to add 3500 men to the border patrol. So far Gen, Funston has reporged only in a general way on the national guard mobilization, but a fuller report is expected éarly next week. Officials hope that by that time the reassign- ‘ment of troops along the border will have been completed. Tt is considered likely here that the realigriment will include withdrawal of the forees of Maj. Langhorne, which crossed in pursuit of the Big Bend raiders. Their mission is regarded as virtually accomplished, the bandits in that region apparently having been dils- persed and the Americans captured at Boquillas rescued. A Carranza com- mand moving from Baltillo is expected to do much toward relieving the Big Bend aituation, The State Department's dispatch from Mexico City indicated that the strike of railway employes that has paralyzed traffic in a large section north of the capital might soon be adjusted. Re- sumption of train service south of Sal- tillo, the dispatch said, was to be re- sumed today. Officials think the strike may have delayed arrival at the border of some of the American Consuls or- dered there for a conference on the gen- eral situation. 10,000 MEN TO POLICE CHIHUAHUA UNDER NEW PLAN Most Southerly Base Will Be at Meee + It Is ‘ COLUMBUS, ere M., May %.—Prep- ax*tions for the policing of Northern Culhuahva by approximately 10,000 men composing a protective patrol of the Mexican border were progressing rap- idly here today.

BRITISH FIELD HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, May 20.—It has developed that the actions of the battalinns of the North Lancashires and the Lancashire Fusiliers on the fifteenth was a singular- ly brilliant attack and gained a strat- egic point—the crest of the redoubtable Vimy ridge—the possession of which means the command of the plain of Lens. Since the British took over this section the battle of Verdun, the Germans had been holding stubbornly the vantage of the higher ground and inflicting heavy casualties on the British. After a suc- cessful explosion of mines just after dark, the Lancashires, who are made up largely of cotton operatives fr6ém Man- chester, rushed from their trenches to the lips of the craters. Every detail in the program of the operation was carried out successfully. Morning found the Lancashires thor- oughly entrenched against a retaliatory German bombardment and had connected their old line by communicating trench- es, six feet deep. Slight casualties were the cost of the night’s success. The value of the ground gained is not to be judged by the 360 yards of front taken, but by the fact that the Lancashires are no longer on the downside of the slope with the Germans above them.

New York, Poston, etc.; variable routes, from the French in the early stage of] headquarters, Austrian Attack Aimed to Forestall Offensive Tynof Move Like FRANK H. SIMONDS. N the minds of all observers of the war | the Austrian attack upon Italy will seem a natural and normal expan- sion of a policy well defined in the case of Verdun. The policy may be described as a decision on the part of Germany to renounce grandiose operations like the campaign against Russia last summer and confine herself to a general de- fensive, supplemented by a limited of- fensive on a narrow front. In the case of Verdun we are now pretty familiar with the German meth- od. Attacking on a narrow front, with n colossal concentration of artillery and only a relatively considerable infantry force, they endeavored to take first by main force and by surprise and then by a slow and steady push, one of the best known of French fortresses, which, al- though no longer of military value, pre- served its hold upon the imagination of the French and German publies. Both the surprise attack and the slow and steady pounding have failed at Verdun. Despite oscillations and fluctuations the Germans have made no real progress for two months. Now their military experts have fallen back on a third line of argu- ment to justify the attack and to sus- tain a claim for success, It is this third line of argument which is most interest- ing to watch, with the Austrian attack on Italy in progress. The effects of the German attack upon Verdun, the German experts assert, has been to disarrange the whole allied plan for a general offensive this spring. The losses of the French and the expenditure of ammunition has been so great that France ig out of the running for the year, and the allied general offensive is impossible, Germany thinks. Add to this the German bélief that France is exhausted in men, in spirit, in resources, and it is easy to explain why Germany keeps on pounding at Verdun, when alli hope of military s#uc- cess is at an end and at most only a moral value can attach to any local victory. The German conception as to French exhaustion is probably mistaken. But Germany and German writers cling to it firmly. Now an Austrian attack upon Italy is plainly predicated on the same concep- tion. France is out of the running. Italy is the next in line. An attack upon Italy by the Southern Tyrol ¢ar- ries with it the possibility, the maxi- mum possibility, of an advance to Vero- na or Vicenza, the tsolation of all the Italian armies east of Vicenza on the Isonzo front, the complete dislocation of Italian plans and of Italian partict- pation in a general allies offensive. Such a maximum profit is at best unlikely—, but there remains iie chance that Italy will loge so -heavily in men, in muntition-, that she will also be elimin- ated, as tie Ge-mans assert France is eliminated for the balance of the year. Meantime it is.clear th:t Germany is standing on the defensive in Russia and on the British front. She is using only small forces against Verdun and the Austrian army actually in tie Tyrol is n@ considerable according to con- temporary standards. Germany has failed to take Verdun. Austria will possibly fail to get Verona. But neither failure will be of moment if France and Italy are put out of the running for the present season. Converse of German View. Now the converse of German view is freely stated by allicd commentators, These declare that Germany has lost far more men and expended far more am- muition than the French have done at Verdun,that she has failed to precipitate a premature and ili-co-ordinated allied offensive and that when their time comes th. alles will be able to launch a general offensive from :}i points. Remember, always, that hitherto the chief German advantage has been the possession of the interiér lines which enabled her to move quickly from the east to the west, from Franc to Rus- sia, to meet an attack. The allies have not co-or: ‘nated their efforts. The South In our own Civil War possessed the same advantage, and used it suc- cessfully, until Grant initiated the poli- ey of attacking on all fronts simu!- taneously, and then the end was rela- tively prompt... If the allies are correct itn their as- sertions, they posses the power to strike fat their own moment~on: all fronts. -_ -—_ —_— -—_— -—- -—_— —- —- —_- —_- —- —_ — —_ — —_— — » a a ae ee ee That of Verdun Germany has failed to disorganize their plans or break up their arrangements by the Verdun operation. If Germany is accurate, the policy of limited local offensives, succeeding the old general attack of the Marne and of the Rus- sian campaigns, is proving fatal to an allied offensive this year. It is fair to conclude that the change in German- policy represents a recogni- tion that it is no longer possible to win the war on the old scale. It is no longer possible to destroy the military forces of France or of Russia and thereby eliminate them from the war. On the other hand, it seems to indicate the Germans have no larger hope than that of maintaining what they now hold until allied exhaustion compels a settlement by diplomats, not by sol- diers. Germany Ready for Peace. Germany is now ready to make peace. She cannot conquer Europe. She no longer believes she can dispose of Russia or France’ permanéntly, but she believes that she can hold her present linés indefinitely and disorgan- ize and wear out her opponents by small offensives like the Verdun at- tack. She counts on the moral effect upon France and Italy of steady losses without profit, and she expects that I'rance first, Italy next, will consent to peace when peace offers them in- tegrity and war no possible profit. If Germany could provoke the allies to a premature attack which failed, she would reap large profit and might get peace on terms that would leave her supreme in the Near East. If she can hold on her present line until win- ter and prevent a general offensive, she may get material gain out of the war. But it is essential to recognize that her position is weakened by her mani- fest eagerness for peace, which has combined with the Verdun campaign to inspirit the allies, and absence of all success, coupled with steady casgual- ties, may have as profound effect upon her population as she has hoped it would have upon the French. As far as one can judge Germany and her Austrian ally are now trying to cut their losses while holding onto their conquests against the day of settlement by negotiation. This is a complete break with the method of 1914 and 1915. [n both of these years Germany tried to win by a general and colossal? attack that should not defeat but annihilate. Civil War Parallel. Apparently we are coming to a change in the history of the great war. A sim- ilar change came after Gettysburg ‘n the Civil War. The South renouncad the idea of conquering peace on the enemy's territory. It clung for two years more to the idea that it could win freedom by defending the territory its armies held. This was the last phase of the Confederacy. It is worth recalling, too, that in this last phase Europe, and even not a few Northerners, talked of peace and of the fatal folly of going on with a hope- less struggle. To the very end the South clung to the belief that it could not be beaten on its own lines. The new German policy, if it is a policy, cannot be taken as otiier than a confes- sion of weakness. The problem which remains to be faced ia: Will allied strength of will endure? If it does, ‘t ft not hard to foggseee new German sug- gestions of peace, this time based on the prospects, not on the present situa- tion. Lead Sticks tn Girl's Esophagus.

TERE TO BE ANNOUNCED IAMERIGA SETTING PEACE EXAMPLE: SOMETIME TODAY} PRESIDENT SAY American Ambassador in London Is So Apprised by Officials of Great Britain. U. 'S. PLANS AN INQUIRY Request for Delay in Carrying Out Punishment Is Received From Washington. LONDON, May 2%—The American Embassy was officially informed today that sentence on Jeremiah C. Lynch, the naturalized American who has been convicted of cémplieity in the Sinn Fein revolt, would’ be announced by the mil- jtary authorities during: the day. WASHINGTON, May 20.—Ambassador Page at London cabled the State De- partment last night that the sentence of Lynch, had: not been confirmed, but that in accordance with instructions from Secretary Lansing the British Government had been asked to sus- pend the infliction of any punishment, pending an investigation. Until this message came there nad been no definite assurance that Lynch was alive. Senator O’Gorman had in- formed President ‘Wilson that he had been told by friends of Lynch in New Yerk that he was sentenced to be shot. Early yesterday the State Department received a garbled code message from the Ambassador transmitting a report from the Afmerican Consul at Dublin. The report, evidently forwarded before Page received Secretar, Lansing’s mes- sage, said Lynch had been tried by field courtmartial. An omission made the cablegram unintelligible. Ambassador Page will inquire into the case and upon his report will depend any future steps in behalf of Lynch. The American Government can only in- sist that no sentence be executed until there has been a fair trial. It was learned that President Wilson informally had expressed his approval of a resolution introduced by Senator Kern directing the Secretary of State to make official inquiry as to the safety and well being of American citizens in Ireland residing in districts affected by the revolt and to take steps to safe- guard ther lives and property. The res- olution is being considered by the For- eign Relations Committee. Dublin Judges Resume Sittings in Court Where Rebels Fought.

C., May 2.—Presi- dent Wilson today addressed a crowd estimated at more than 100,000 gathered here for the l4ist anniversary of the signing of the Mecklenberg declaration of independence. "te was introduced by Gov. Craig of North Carolina, who spoke of the President as one of the greatest leaders the nation has ever seen. The President began speaking at 12:9 o'clock, Cevoting his brief address al- most wholly to discussion of the ideals of thé United States. He declared “un- tainted Americanism’’ was needed, and that the United States must preserve its ideals in order to be of assistance in helping the world. He was enthusias- tically applauded. Address of the President. ‘‘T have come back for a brief visit to a region dear to my heart,’’ said the President, ‘‘I do not know whether I can interpret for you the spirit of this occasion. It is necessary to realize just what we celebrate. There were only three million people in this nation when it became independent. Now there are 100,000,000 people. There have been changes but we have the same elements. “What I want to impress on you is that we have always been in the mak- ing. Among the men who founded this nation there was a great passion for human liberty. What I want to call your attention to is that this nation has devoted itself almost too much to ma- terial things. There have been other nations just as rich as the United States. We must think of what we are going to do with our wealth and our pros- perity. “At™merica did not come out of the South and it did not come out of New England, It came out of the middle states, where there was a mixture of different races.’’ The President spoke of the European war. “What are the elements of this war?’’ he asked. “It is a clash of different elements. Europe is fighting out in war, the ques- tion we are fighting out in peace. As the processes of communication have grown better, nations and peoples have grown closer together. Men can now learn more about each other. So that now the melting pot is bigger than America. It is as big as the world See then what a new world we have come into. Tried to Set Peace Example. “Here in America we have tried to set the example of peace by keeping together. Isn't it the sign and dawn of a new age that the one thing new on which the world is about to fall kind ?’’ The President said he would like to think the “spirit of this occasion” could be expressed “if we could imagine our- selves lifting up some symbol of hu- manity.’”’ He added he hoped the United States after the European war would be able to lift up a symbol of the “still small voice of humanity.’’ Closing his address amid a burst of ap- plause, the President left the stund to go to a local club for luncheon. President Wilson and his party arrive. here at 10 O'clock this morning. He first reviewed a procession and later made his open air speech. Visitors from all parts of the state packed the streets and gave the President a great demonstra- tion. At the reviewing stand he was wel- comed by Gov. Craig of North Caro- lina, Gov. Manning of South Carolina and their staffs. The procession, headed by the North Carolina National Guard, took an hour to pass. It was made up of not only the military but of industrial floats and exhibits, veterans of the back is the normal judgment of man-" wae merous other features representing phases of Southern life.

Members of the President's party declared he was referring to the fight led by Senator Gallinger, de- feating the nomination of George Rublee to the Federal Trade Com- mission. “There are very serious things to be done nowadays,” said the Presi- dent. “We are at the beginning of a new age for the world, and America will have to play a very great part in that new age. There are some men who now control the Republican party who are looking backward, not forward. They do not know the prob- lem of the new day and whenever, for example, I try to show my #ym- pathies for the forward looking men of their own party by nominating men of that sort, they at once try to block the progress.” NEORO WRECKERS CRUSHED BY 300-POUND PIECE OF CONCRETE Passing Train Jars Dewn Huge Boulder Which Falis on Men; One Will Die.

The meeting was to have been held May the anniversary of the sinking " _ of the Lusitania, but was postponed by " request of Mayor Mitchel because Ger- “many’s last note haa not yet been re- ceived and it was feared partisan out- breaks might occur. The Mayor was se- “yerely criticised last night for his ac- tion, but he did not come in for nearly “as much adverse comment as did Presi- “dent Wilson for his conduct of the na- 4 tion’s affairs. Opposes Request to Be Neutral. “When, in the early days of the war, the President of the United States ad- & jured us to be neutral in thought and .-s = ;. Roy i “ e d "“he demanded something which, word, as well as in technical act,’’ said Franklin H. Giddings, professor of soci- ‘ ology at Columbia, the chief speaker, in our "judgment, he had no authority under the Constitution and laws of the nation to demand, and he placed us in a position which we regret and scorn as morally intolerable.” A roar of shouts and cheers followed ‘this. Previously a similar outbreak had greeted the passage of a ‘‘declara- tion,” the salient paragraph of which read: “We cannot approve a purely defen- sive foreign policy which has no higher aim than to meet each recurring crisis by temporary expedients designed to se- cure for American citizens a grudging gémission of their individual rights. We hold that the time has come when our Government should cease dealing with the .mere symptoms of German fright- fulness, and we now call upon it to op- pose the whole policy that might makes right, by supporting the allied nations ‘in their fight for the defenso of the » democracy and for the maintenance of * the fundamental! principles of civiliza- tion.” Speakers Talk of War. _ The “declaration’’ did not advocate the actual engagement in the war by this country: but the speakers were not so reticent... Prof. Giddings said: “We are aware that the course we gre taking may mean, pernars, war. ‘This nation will not sacrifice its self-re- _ spect. Some traitors among us have aid that our flag might be consigned to hell. Well, American citizens, some Be day it may be carriea perilously near the brink of hell, + @ventually it will speaker, - briefly, _ * tania and the heroism of the American temporarily. But either float free in ace under the pure air of heaven or wave in victory over the smoking pit of the damned.” Dr. Giddings, as well as every other touched feelingly, though upon the tragedy of the Lusi- victims. And he and the others de- ~ nounced bitterly those who sent these to * “the bottom. The Rev. Dr. Randolph H. McKim of Washington, a Confederate veteran. spoke of the Kaiser as ‘‘the imperial “monster who sanctioned the order.”’ “The American people are not neu- tral,’ he said. ‘If they ever were they gre not now. Let us throw this hollow pretense to the winds and throw the whole weight of our moral and financia! support to the gallant nations which are fighting our battle.’’ The chairman of the meeting, Maj. George Haven Putnam, a publisher and writer on war topics, said we should have more of an interest in the war than to gain a few million dollars and to protect our own shores. We are morally bound, he said, to aid the side struggling for humanity and right. President Is Criticised. Mai. Louts L.

UR. 1S STOPPED FROM. LAYING ITS Residents Succeed in Halting Work After a Three-Days’ Fight. After three days of fighting the Seuth Forest Park Residents’ Im- provement Association succeeded at 11 a. m today in haiting the laying of a track by the United Railways Co inside of Forest Park at Tamm avenue. The railways company sought permission from the Board of Public Service to build a loop dt Tamm avenue to accommodate traf- fic to the zoo so that it would not have to run ite cars to the West End Heights terminal loop, three blocks west. An injunction, issued by Circuit Juage Hennings, v’as served on Presi- dent McCulloch of the Railways com- pany, and he ordered the work stopped. The Board of Public Ser- vice issued a permit at noon yester- day, authorizing the laying of the treck, but the work will be suspend- ed until the injunction suit is heard anc determined upon its merits. Dr. John H. Simon, member of the improvement association, said the work of laying the loop began Thursday, and that residents in the vicinity called 4 meeting to protest against it. A coir- mittee comprised of Dr. Simon, E. H. Schwartz, president of the association, Alois Rothenheber and James O’Gorman went before the Board of Public Service ty» find ou* whether tne company had a permit to lay the tracks. “We were told by President Kinsey tha application had been made for a permit, but that it had not been grant- ed,’’ Dr. Simon said. We then informed the board that the company was laying the tracks without a permit. “We went from the office of the Beard of Public Service to Police Capt. Schwartz’ office in Forest Park anc asked him to stop the work. He sent policemen out, who stopped the werk because the company could shew no permit. “Work had not beer stopped half ar hour when the keeper of the park went to the Police Captain's office and told Capt. Schwart? that it was all right for the company to proceed with the work of laying the track. “Upon the park keeper's word, the Police Captain called off the police, and the men resumed the work. “As soon as the meén started to work again the association employed attor- neys and obtained an injunction in Judge Hennings’ court at 3 p. m. yesterday. This injunction should nave been served on the company by 4 p. m. “But the men were at work again this morning and our lawyers went to the Sheriff'e office to find out why the writ had not been served. They Cduld get no satisfaction. “The people living gouth of Forest Park do not want any loop inside of the park at Tamm avenue. We have been trving to get the city to give us a beau- tiful entrance there. The laying of a loop inside of the park will forever make it impossible to have a beautiful entrance on the south side of the park, and it will also prevent the improvement of the north side of Oakland avenue. “We think the interests of the puDlic ought to be considered by the Board of Public Service before authority is granted to tke railways company to put down tracks in Forest Park, which will not only mar the beauty of the park, but prevent the carrying out of plans for its beautification. The inter- ests of the public seem to be worthy of no consideration, so far as the Board of Public Service is concerned; if a way can be found for the railways company to cove a little money in the operation of its cars.” Sheriff Dickmann said today that he did not receive the order of the Cotrt until 8:30 a. m., and that a Deputy Sheriff was sent, as soon as porsible, to serve it on McCulloch, President Schwartz of the improve- ment association said that it was not until lf a. m. that of work of taving the track was stopped, and that the oid! ee ie FOREST PARK LOOP) GIRL GETS ORDER FUR BABY “HEIR Young Canadian Says She Mother of Child Claimed by the Widow. CHICAGO, May 2.—Margaret the Canadian girl, rea] Ryan, who says she is the mother of the infant which Mrs. Ledgérwood Matters is seeking to prove her child, got a writ of habeas corpus from Judge Landis in the Federal Court today on a petition obtain the child. The writ is return- able May 26. Judge Landis issued the order with the understanding that it ifs not to embarrass either side in the Mat- ters case. Mrs. Matters, with Chas. T. Mellon and Haryy Hdwards, is on trial in the State Court on a charge of conspiracy to foist a bogus heir to the estate of her late husband, Fred Matters, upon the Probate Court. Nuns and nurses from the Miseri- cordia Haspital, at Ottawa, Canada, have testified that the child known as Irene’ Matters was born to Margaret Ryan, who, at the hospital was known as Jessie Ryan. Several of the witnesses in the Mat- ters trial admitted that before the Pro- bate Court they testified falsely that the infant was the child of Mrs. Mat- ters. Hearing on the petition was brief. The Court was informed by counsel for the young woman that the petition was based on an alleged violation of the Federal immigration laws in bringing a child into the court without the con- sent of either of its parents. On that showing Judge lLandis dered that the writ be issued. The Ryan girl went to work ina Ca- nadian factory when she was 12 years old. For three years she ‘“‘kept com- pany’ with a young shoemaker. They were to be married. Then came the war and the shoemaker enlisted. Some months after the girls sweet- heart sailed away Miss Ryan went to the Misericorda Hospital at Ottawa. It was to this hospital that Mrs. Mat- ters. according to testimony, went seeking an infant whom she might pass off on the Probate Court as the post- humous child of her husband, of whose $300,000 estate she desired a larger share. “Did Mrs. Matters ever speak to you?” the witness was asked. “She used to stare at me, and the first time she spoke she said ‘Jessie, you are a nice girl and it is too bad.’”’ ‘We knew her,’ the witness said, “only as the millionaire lady. We were in the poor ward, and she had a room to herself."’ The infant, a girl, was born July ~, 1915. It was a healthy and promising child, but the mother was told that the baby was dead. The girl continued her story: “IT was taken Annia Dollie to or- into a private room. There was another woman there, and she asked me a lot of questions. I said I wanted to go back to the poor ward, but the nurse said ‘no.’ They brought me chicken on silver trays and nice things I never had eaten before in my life."’ “Did you tell Sister Celestine, mother superior, that you wanted to abandon the baby?’ she was asked. “Tl never did; I wanted my baby.” ee BELL-ANS Absolutely Removes provesit. 25cat all druggists.

COX, RIO POLITICAL DICTATOR, DIES Ruled Cincinnati Republicans, and Was Big Factor in State; Theatrical Magnate as Well. CINCINNATI, O., May 20.—George B Cox, 53 years old, politician and theat- rical magnate, died at his home early today. He was stricken with paralysis Feb. 29, from which he never recov- ered, although death is said to have been from pneumonia which developed in the last few days. ‘ Cox was one of the most widely known professional politicians in Ohio, a baseball magnate, a banker and part owner of one of the largest theatrica! syndicates in the country. Born in Cin- cinnati, Apvil 29, 1863, ie began his ca- reer as a newsboy, and later became a saioon keeper at “‘Dead Man's Corner,’ as the locality at Carlisle and Centra! avenues, Cincinnati, was known because of the numerous murders in the neigh- borhocd. Became Political Leader. lie immediately became a leader in local pelitics and soon spread his in- fluence until he virtually controlled the Republican machine in Hamilton Coun- ty, obtained a powerful hold on State politics and wielded an maerpencs in pa- tional campaigns. Early in his political career Cox was elected to the City Council. That, how- ever, was the only elective office to which he ever aspired. As leader of the Republican party in Hamilton Coun- ty, he selected as his chief lieutenants August Hermann, now chairman of the National Baseball Commission and president of the Cincinnati baseball club, and Rud Hynicka, who later be- came closely associated with Cox in theatrical ventures. ‘ Cox’s wprk in connection with the candidacy of Taft for the presidency, occasioned surprise among political ob- servers. When the former President was Secretary of War, he delivered ar address at Akron, O., supporting My- ron T. Herrick for Governor of Ohio. In this address he took occasion to say that if he voted that year he would cast a straight Republican State ticket, but would not support the Cincinnati city ticket placed on the ballot by the Re- publican organization. This was con- strued as a direct slap at the Cox or- ganization, but contrary to expectations, Hamilton County was solid for Taft when he was a candidate for President a short time later. Organization Later Defeated. When Cox announced his retirement from politics in 1908, Hermann and Hynicka continued the organization until it was beaten in the mayoralty race in Cincinnati a little more than three years later. Cox was president of the World Film Corporation, one of the largest picture producing and _ distributing concerns, chairman of the board of directors of the Shubert theatrical interests, vice president of the Marcus Loew amuseé- ment enterprises, and was interested ‘n the Keith vaudeville ci its. He ws president of the Cincinnati Trust Co. and held stock in various realty com- panies which have constructed theaters in New York City. ~ Carondelet Sunday School Picnic.

WALSH GETS 10TH CONTINUANCE IN SPEEDING CASE —_—— Was Fined $50 After Arrest Last November and Ap- pealed Action. The tenth continuance in the case of C. K. Dickson Walsh, arrested on Nov. 23 last on a charge of speeding an automobile on Lindell boule- vard between Spring Whittier street, was granted in the Court of Criminal by Judge Clark. Walsh is the son of Julius S. Walsh, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Mississippi Valley Trust Co. and of the Terminal Railroad Association. He is 44 years old. The record of the city’s attempt to collect a fine of $50 and costs assess- ed against Walsh six months ago ig an interesting one. On Nov. 24 he was fined $50 and costs amounting to about $14 in Police Judge Hogan's court. -An appeal was taken to the Court of Criminal Correction, and the hearing set for Dec. 9. On that day, at the request of the defendant, it was continued until Jan. 6. Then, again at the defendant's request, a second continuance was granted until Feb. 17. Cnee more at the request of the defendant, a third stay was granted until March 9. But on Feb. 21 Walsh's attorney, William FE. Baird, filed a motion ask- ing that the charge be quashed. This was denied on March 9, but Judge Clark assented to a fourth continu- ance until March 16. Og this date Baird entered a plea of guilty in be- half of his client, and filed a bond guaranteeing the payment of the fine and costs, but obtained a fifth con- tinuance, in the form of a stay of execution, until April 15. Baird ex- plained that his client was in New York and could not return until that date. On April 15 Baird obtained a sixth continued until April 13, stating that Walsh was still in New York. O. April 29 the case was continued a seventh time, until May 6, Baird explaining that Waish was still in the East. On the same ground the attorney persuadec the Court to grant an eighth postponement, until May 13, and then a ninth, until to- day This morning Judge Clark yielded the tenth continuance, until June 38. In the latest setting Baird, as se- curity, is mamed as a defendant.

ALSO RANSACKED A DESK Investigating Committee Hears — $tory Concerning Work to Unearth Munitions Plot. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Pest-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 2.—It was Martin Bgan of J. P. Morgan & Co.'s offices, eccording to testimony before the Thompson Legislative Committee, who caused the detectaphone to be placed in the offices of Seymour & Seymour, lawyers, and munitions brokers, in the “quitable Building. District Attorney Swann has this testimony and it may lead to further developments, as a wit- ness testified that Detective W. J. Burns ransacked locked desks and searched papers found therein. Testimony as to the actual activity ‘of Martin Egan of the Morgan firm came from George T. Mortinmer, presi- ‘ent of the Equitable Building Cor- poration. He said in answer that he dad introduced Detective William J. ‘Burns to Clarence T. Coley, operating ‘manager of the building. . Bean had explained that the Morgan JSirm believed there was reason to sus- pect one of its employes was giving out confidential information to someone who had an office in the Equitable Building. He would not say that Egan suggested what Burns should do, but he explained that it was necessary to ascertain whether anything improper was going on on the building, and s0 he promised to give Burns all the help he could. “Burns told me that he had made arrangements with the tenants of the adjoining offices to put in a dicta- phone, with my consent. I sent for Coley and told him to do as Burns asked him to.’’ ‘Do you know who Mr. Egan is?” was abked. “IT can’t say exactly. He’s an import- aht man down there.” Morgan’s Publicity Agent. The directory gives Bgan’s occupa- tion -as “publicity manager’ of the Morgan concern. The details of Burns’ activities were given by Coley, Bartlett Smith and Charlies M. Kalb. , Smith testified he and his father were in the business of selling such instru- ments as detectaphones at 42 Broad- way. He knew W. J. Burns and the firm had sold him 73 detectaphones and a telephone tap. Burns didn’t tell him where he was going to use it, but he “knew now,’ said the witness, and he replied. In the Seymour & Seymour offices? he was asked, and .e answered yes. The witness said he had been taken to. the Seymour offices at night by Sherman Burns, one of the younger members of the detective’s family and others. They went into the rooms of the Belgian Relief Committee on the twenty-seventh floor, next to the Sey- mour & Seymour offices and he aided in boring a hole through the wall. The connecting door was opened and they walked into the law offices. Later the elder Burns joined the party. The wit- ness helped install the detectaphone, putting it behind a table. He heard one of the Seymours referred to as ‘‘The one who coughs,” and thus designated one of the rooms of the suite. On the next night he went again to, the office- and tried to bore through the wall to put in anothc: wire, but failed. He saw W. J. Burns enter the law office and open one of the roll-top desks; saw him take out some of the contents of the desk drawers and ex- amine them, putting them carefully back. He heard him dictate to Billy Lynch, one of Burns’ staff, some of the names from the cards in the desk and he heard someone say later that a “‘“‘whole book of notes’’ had been tak- en down by a Miss Murray, a Burns op- erative, over the deteétaphone. - He also asserted that he had instructed Burns as to the use of the telephone tap, but ‘would not inatall it because he was told it was a felony to do so. The last witness on this line of the inquiry was Kalb, the electrician. “Where did you put the transmit- ters?’ was asked. “I put them on the electric fixtures,” said Kalb. They never were found. I took them out myself." Changed Door Locks. The witness explained how the locks on the office of the Belgian Committee had been changed to keep the porters, who had master keys, from getting in. The Burns people have refused to re- spond to the Thompson committees sub- poena, saying the committee was ex- coeding its authority and had no right to question them on the subject. Police Commisioner Arthur Woods tes- tified that the practice of wire talking Was one he found when he came into effice and he had kept the same men in charge of the work, as they had been chosen for their fitness and reliability. “No one likes the idea of spying, and such spying would be wholly un- justifiable’ unless in a bona fide chase after criminals,”’ said the Commission- er. “It has been in existence since I have Deen in office far the purpose of catch- ing criminals and for no other purpose. In my estimation ft is not only justi- fable, but it is a duty to use these means not only to catch dishonest peo- ple, but to protect the honest citizens.” Then the Commissioner went, oh to ay he had asked the inspector in rge as to the value of the ays- and had been told it was one of most valuable of the detective serv- '*He told me of several cases in ich convictions were obtained where * would have been no conviction dad it not been for the police listening os on the wires,”” said Woods, “One ee was that of Hans Schmidt. the ex- ‘take away the power of — dence we got over the wires in that case was of the utmost value.’’ Crime had become a “long distance’’ proposition, said the Commissioner. To listening in would be to leave in the hands of the criminal a weapon of which the police would virtually be deprived. As to out- side tapping, he was against it. ‘‘My idea is to allow the police to use the wires, but to keep éveryone else off,”’ said Woods. The Commissioner said this could only happen accidentally. He went on to explain some phases of detective work, asserting: “You can’t do detective work in this town in a silk hat and kid gloves,’’ and adding a moment later: ‘‘There is alto- gether too much sappy talk about the rights of crooks. What right has a crook got? He's an outlaw, opposed to the law that the people have set up. If people would spend less time talking of the rights of criminals and more time in helping the authorities we would be better off.’’ In several interviews and statements Mayor Mitchell yesterday insisted that the “‘listening in’’ on Seymour & Sey- mour’s: wire was ‘‘a national matter,” and to bring the matter before the pub- lic as the Thompson committee was doing was ‘‘treason.”’ District Attorney Marshall also gave out a statement that he had investigated the matter and knew ‘national interests’’ were in- volved. Counsellor Polk of the State Depart- ment, according to dispatches, said he knew nothing of the Seymour case, and at the Department of, Justice all knowl- edge of the case was denied in Wash- ington.

Now he has won the prize of $100 offered by the Board of Aldermen. It was not known untl after the award in the second contest had been made that the successful contestant was Krondl. He had entered his design in the name of a friend, A. P. Woehrle, of 3214 Gus- tin avenue. His reason for doing so, he says, was purely ethical. He wanted to win on merit and not on the prestige gained by winning the previous contest 169 Drawings Submitted. The Krondl design was chosen by the Aldermen from among 10 drawings sub- mitted by a committee from 169 de- signs that were entered by artists. Al- derman Baur, chairman of the commit- tee on selection, reported that the 10 flag designs from which the entire board would choose, were unquestion- ably the best designs, in the commit- tee’s opinion. Krondl’s design was placed first in a row of drawings suspended in a com- mittee room and the Aldermen were al- most unanimous in favoring it as the most appropriate. The design has a shield in the center, on which is the crusader St. Louis, in white on a blue ground. There is a fleur de lis below the figure. There are three bars of red, white and blue, and in each corner is a star. The four stars represent St. Louis as occupying the place of fourth city of the nation and the bars are intended to indicate the rank the city may yet attain. Orange Color Is Left The artist, remembering that Fereiva Chubb, Ethical Society lecturer, had criticized the colors of the design ac- cepted in the first contest, arguing that the blue was too blue and the orange not orange enough, submitted seven different color schemes this time. In his largest drawing the top and bottom bar were blue and the middle bar white and the shield red. The other color schemes were on small attached designs. The Aldermen decided that they liked the Wars best In red, white and blue, with a blue shield. Alderman Fett asked to be excused from voting, on the ground that he was too patriotic to vote for any flag ex- cept the stars and stripes. Louis. Pennsylvania Lines Low Rate Summer Tours.

BILL WOULD CUT EFFICIENCY BOARD SALARIES T0 $1000 Decrease of Two Members’ Pay Would Save City $4000 and Permit Hir- ing of Extra Clerks. A bill to decrease the pay of two mem- bers of the Efficiency Board from $3000 to $1000 a year, because they are not required to devote all of their time to the work, as is the chairman, was in- troduced yesterday by Alderman Udell. The Efficiency Board members have declared they cannot carry out the charter mandate of classifying and standardizing the jobs in all depart- ments, unless $4000 is added to the ap- propriation of $22,000 made_this year. Mayor Kiel and Comptroller Player have informed the board members they will not authorize the appropriation, as the city is facing a deficit of $350,000 this year. The Mayor suggested that two board members, Harry G. Clymer and Patrick F. Cook, devote eight hours a day to the work, thus making two or more of the staff of eight subordinates available for the work of standardization. Alderman Udell said his bill would save the city $4000 a-year on Efficiency Board salaries, and enable the board to employ the three extra clerks they ask for.

Earlier in the day the Colonel had said. he expected Ford. Roosevelt added that the message merely stated Ford was un- | able to come. Ford's refusal is thought to be in .4- taliation for Rooseveit’s action in refus- ing to visit him at the Ford automobile factory. Roosevelt promised to do so, but later said he could not as the local committee had left him no time for the visit.

My Leased Wire From the New York Bbeareanu of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 20.—Two types of triplane, designed to fly 110 and 130 miies an hour respectively, have been entered in the transcontinental air race for the | Pulitzer trophy and the $100,000 of prizes ) being raised by the Aero Club of America. Twenty-four machines are promisec by constructors alone. No account has yet been taken of amateur and military fiyers who will enter the first National | .Aerial Derby of America. The Columbus (O.)

Baltimore, Har- risburg; Fort Wayne, St. Louis, Los An- xeles and San Francisco also are bid- ding for control stations. Will Stop tor 12 Hours. President Alan R. Hawley of the Aero Club replied by telegraph to the Colum- bus Chamber of Commerce as follows: “The Contest Committee of the Aero Club of America has considered your message and finds a possibility of mak- ing your city a control for the transcon- tinental aeroplane competition which fs tc start from New York on Sept. 2. _“®Bstablishing a control means that the aviators will stop at your city for «¢t Jeast 12 hours. There are now ready over 20 entriés. and there probably will be 4 entries altogether for the compe- tition. The transcontinental aeroplane competition being held for the purpose of developing aerial reserves for na- tional defense, every effort is made to increase the prizes so as to induce a large number of aviators, including ml- litia officers of as many states as pos- gible, to enter the competition. ‘‘Will you please advise whether your city is willing,to offer $10,000 in prizes as its share toward aerial prepared- ness. These prize; can be given for ths first four or six aviators who arrive at your city from the preceding control. “Knowing the progressiveness and public spiritedness of your people, we have no doubt that they will be glad to contribute toward making this pro- ject a success, which means taking a step toward placing America ahead of other countries in the wonderful new art anc science of aeronautics.” Carter Triplanes Entered. The builder of the triplanes entered in the race is the Carter Brothers Aero- plane Co. of Hyattsville, Md., sub- sidiarv of th~ Carter Bros. Motor Co. of builders. of motorcars and trucks. Howard O. Carter, in making the entry, furnished to the Aero Club the follewin~ specifications of the ma- chines entered: “Carter triplane, type A, 16 cylinders, 200 horsepower, double motored (Carter patent drive) speed 110 miles an hour, two passengers. “Carter triplane, type B, % cylinders, /420 horsepower, double motored (Carter patent drive), speed 130 miles an hour, two or three passengers.” The N. Y. Aero Construction Co., by Cecil H. Upper, president, sent notice that ‘it -ould enter two tractor planes equipped with twin engines developing 80 horsepower, and having a flying radius of 10 hours. Warren H. Eaton, eonstructing engineer, now building these machines, will have charge of the flight for that company. A Movie Star Every One Likes—in Rotogravure lomorrow.

AXIM GORKY rises to his full Vi stature as a fiction writer in his new novel, ““‘The Confession.”’ It is but a short time sinee this grat Rus- sian gave in a powerful and gripping vol- ume the sordid story of his miserable boyhood and the reader’s impulse on picking up the new work is to conclude that this is, perhaps, a continuance of his self-revelations. But “The Confes- sion’ is wholly fiction—the story of a thirsty soul in quest of the waters of life and finally adjusting itself to the world through a wholesome contact with the people that enables him to share their aspirations and become a part of their movement for the democra- tization of mankind. The story would be lacking in genuine Russian atmosphere if it were not shock- ing, and even harrowing, at times. The picture of life in the Russian monasteries and nunneries may be qualified by both these adjectives, but they conform to the newspaper stories that have been filtering through the Russian censorship for years. The Russian industrial slave, 48 pictured by Gorky, seems too igno- rant and backward for any nook or cor- ner of the world in this age of reason and enlightenment; but the blight of ig- norance and absolutism still desolates ihe Russian peasant class till it regarés with dumb amazement any ray of the Sun of Liberty that may filter into its darkened abode. The ban of exile has been lifted against Gorky and he again is an honored citi- zen of the empire. But, if he loves Rus- sia more, for calling him back to his home, there is no sign in this book that his eyes have become less keen to the tragedy that she compels her low!y-born to enact under the guise of living. The story is of Matvel, bastard- born, who has the instincts and feel- ings and pride of a gentleman—be- cause his father was of that class— and the environment and necessities of a peasant—because his mother was one—seeking a sphere in which his aspirations and his necessities can be made to harmonize. In the course of his career, he is son-in- law to a hated money-lender, a monk, a gardener in a nunnery and a work- er in a steel factory. He shows us peasant Russia in many aspects. In the end, he finds serenity and happi- ness by casting his lot with the com- mon people and becoming a part of them and their movement and forget- ting the aspirations above his class -that formerly wooed him to discon- tent. There is an abundance of fine character drawing but three figures stand out as memorable—an ascetic who sits in his coffin under the altar of a monastery craving the good things of life, and surreptitiously gourmandizing on bread but not dar- ing to make his wants known lest he lose his saintship; the genial peripa- tetic monk whose pilgrimage makes a quaint philosopher of him and the drunken old bird-catcher who finds God in everything. Rose Strunsky, the translator, hae written a valuable preface to the book.—(Stokes. ) A WAR BOOK WORTH READING, OHN REED and Boardman Robin- J son have made a book out of their war-time adventures in Saloniki, Servia and Russia and a very quaint and delightful volume it is. Robinson is an impressionistic artist of ability and power. He ap- parently determined that his literary collaborator showld not have any claim. No mere dozen illustrations to a 400-page book would satisfy him, so he drew and drew until he must have depicted everything he saw worthy of his pen. The result is that the book is rich in pictures. They are almost page for page with Reed's story. Good and striking and interesting pictures they are, too. The authors do not pretend to have seen much war, though they encoun- tered plenty of the aftermath. They were in trouble with the authorities most of the time. But they saw the people of each land under stresa- of | war-time conditions, and their ac- count of their adventures and ob- servations under these conditions is NEW BOOKS FOR THE WEEK | more space in the book than he would. pextraordinarily interesting. They| the leaven of human freedom began to work, The indications are that it will grow with a rush after the war ends. G. de Wesslitsky, for 15 years president of the Foreign Press Asso- ciation in London, tells the story of democracy’s slow but certain growts in “Russia and Democracy.” He dwells at considerable length on the rise and decline of German influence, both po- litical and economic.

JOAN AND Jim QUARRED = “a 6 4i "4 j JOAN 1S CAPTURED BY BANDIT” spondent, has gathered’ many laurels for himself from the high- ways in the wake of the great war. Starting out in the Belgian and French lines, he worked his way into German favor and connection, thence on down through the Balkans to Constantinople. I: was in the latter city that he en- countered the greatest luck, for he was enabled to make many trips down the Gallipoli Peninsula, while Britain and France were butting their braifs out against the ramparts that guarded the Dardanelles. News in America was scarce from that seat of war, though the' public craved to know what was going on there. Mr. Ruhl contributed greatly to the relief of this curiosity. One of the classics born of the war is “The Adventure of the Fifty Hostages,’’ which is his story of how the Turks gathered up 680 members of the allied nations in Constantinople and took them down to a village on Gallipoli that the French and English warships were bom- barding. The cold-blooded plant was to put them in exposed places to be killed by the 14-inch shells. How the Amer- ican embassy saved them and had them taken back to the city after days of skillful maneuvering, in an endeavor to make the Turks see the folly of their scheme, madé a very amusing story after it was all over, and Mr. Ruhl told it incomparably. His stories, including the one, published in various newspapers and magazines, dating from the siege of Antwerp to the departure of the al- lies from the Dardanelles, have been gathered into one volume, and it is worthy of a place in any library.

They traversed Servia in the wake of the.great typhus epidemic and saw all its horrors. The springs, streams and even rivers were still choked with the rotting dead. The natives did not seek to remove these ghastly evidences of the tragedy of a war epidemic for the remarkable reason that they regard sanitation and kin- dred precautions as evidence of cow- ardice and fear of death. No Balkan denizen is such a poltroon, and so the dead lay where they fell, moldering above ground until their elements were absorbed into the atmosphere again. (Scribner’s.)

(Scribner’s.) RUSSIAN BOYHOOD. HE seventh volume of the “Children x of Other Lands’’ books is ‘‘When I Was a Boy in Russia,’’ by Viadimir de Bogory Mokrievitch. Like the other books in this series, the Russian story tells of the’life of school children; but it g0es beyond the previous volumes, in tnat the writer describes his adventures, as a young man, in connection with the Nihilist movement, which culminated in exile to Siberia.

Judd of the Uni- versity of Chicago has addressed «he principals and teachers of the St. Louis public schools in ar endeavor to secure their co-operation in thé coming survey of our school system. If our past experience is worth anything, he will get no such co-operation, but rather opposi- tion, judging from the attitude of a number of maid principals and teachers with reference to oear organizations, the School Patrons’ Associa- times, for instance, in which their short-sighted- meen and intense aloofness cannot see benefit which can or might accrue to them by co-operat- ing in a willing and cheerful manner with the business mén of this city who are the active supporters of these associations, men who are texpayers, whose children compose these schools, end men who hold important c-nd influential posi- tions in the business and political walks of life These teachers are seeking a great many things in the way of relief, advancement, increase of sal- ary or ultimate pension maybe, but can they ob- tain any of these by continually a@opting a defi- ant attitude towards those who hold the balance of power? Much good has been done in a legislative way by the’ St. Louls Public School Patrons’ Alliance and many benefits have accrued to the schools through thé efforts of the Branch School Associa- tions, but generally speaking it has been uphill work, and many teachers have refused to affiliate as members or assist in any way in the good work. Numerous changes are looming up on the horizon of our educational field, changes necessi- tated by unsatisfactory results, largely the out- come of a lack of co-ordination and sympathy between the teaching fraternity and the taxpayer and parent. The large majority of “thinking parents,” those who are not always willing tc accept without a . Murmur anything and everything which is served up to them on a platter, that majority I say, will acclaim the investigation of the different branches of our educational work by Dr. Charles H. Judd, Director of Education of the University of Chi- cago. I? this investigation does not reach the desired features, it may at least start something which will end in a general overhauling of the present system. It would be well for teachers and prin- cipals to watch the coming events and to take their cue accordingly. A MEMBER OF A SCHOOL PATRONS’ ASSOCI- ATION, We Have Friends in Europe. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, As ai: Amertean of French descent, I desire to protest against the statement attributed to Wal- ter H Saunders at the recruiting rally at the Pires Regiment Armory last Saturday night to the effect that we have, as a country, no friend iu Europe or Asia.

It is charged that he is moved by politics in aeo {delaying negotiations. The politics is in his crit- ejics, who are trying desperately to make political capital against him. The President is helpless to start a peace move- ment unless encouraged by belligerent nations on both sides. Any movement without such encour- agement would be a mistake and might be fatal to our influence in favor of peace. The President cannot force peace. He cannot even suggest it publicly of his own motion to any belligerent without danger of offense. A nation at war would resent being put in the position of publicly re- jecting peace overtures. The best the President can do is to hold him- self in readiness to act at the first hint that peace mediation would be welcome to both sides. He has offered mediation in general terms. Undoubt- edly he has given the warring nations to under- stand that he will act as mediator—will take a decided step whene¥er they are willing to listen. That the President is anxious for peace at the earliest possible moment and would eagerly pro- mote it cannot be doubted. It would be not only a great stroke for humanity, but good politics at any time. =" ° aS a ,. 5 Ne ae > nave we ‘THE FISHERMAN AND THE GENIE. hat ST ce nei’ 39 MB 0c. airline... elites a ee ae . a” = > ste 2 «-* co atte 9 , Cae ae oY ¢? > ate ST ° ae y va et ie “auc, "Ape aioe Be OS ‘ him ity + byes ~~ ———— _ a — Saalinpenttanantaastaenemrttem tame JUST A MINUTE ie Pe Og a gg a AO Oe re “ ti : i ll A i ele rs > In quantity tie . polsonous, an of course, harm t would not roy the Hatestineat LAW POINTS. od eee eee may carry pistel HUNT.—Firm that 14 t glass that Sookie” in deltt Sere’ cae ten good.” owners ee f | did not live up to ora a one, ANXIOUS.—Whil sell the furniture if he owns could does not excuse him from his wife.

Brother Mendo re- tired a step or two. “This woman is not in a dying state!’’ he cried to the man. “She is!’ said the man, casting off all pretense of humility and speaking fiercely. ‘‘She is about to die by vio- lence! You cannot prev-nt it. If you wish to leave, go! But remember that before you can give the alarm she will be dead. So it rests with «ou to wash clean her sinful soul, or leave it foul.” Brother Mendo did not waste precious time in unavailing consideration. He went to the woman and bent his ear to hear her confession. What came from the beautiful lips was such as to check his blood. His cause he has confessed the dead!’’ (In another version of this story the friar is Padre Lanza, a man who really lived in the city in the early part of the nineteenth century and was deeply beloved. He was led to a house by an old woman and found a man who, it was plain, had been dead for many years and who con- fessed to crimes committed 200 years before. Padre Lanza did not die, but in penance for having con- fessed the dead he went bareheaded for the rest of his days and fasted incessantly. Riva Palacio, Roa ‘Barcena and Thomas A. Janvier have preserved various versions of the same story in print.) CHAPTER I. UNE 28—Tomorrow I am going to be J married. In all the world there honestly does not seem to be any other fact. It ig equally true, I suppose, that I am 22 years old, that my name—today—is Mollie—Mary—Lambert, that I have blue eyes and brown hair. But I can think of nothing except that tomorrow I shall be Ned's wife—Mrs. Edward Houghton. I dare to write the name for the first time. I have never kept a diary before. I am not sorry, for, really, until I met Ned there was nothing in my life worth recording. I was like a little child who plays at being grown up. I had the child’s loves; I cared for my father and my mother and my sister Nell. I care for them atill, but I am not a Edited by Janet Trevor. book of my unhappiness—pray God it is never written!—will be given to all other women that they may learn from my mistakes, my misfortunes. A Wonderful Lover. ODAY I cannot think that Ned will ft ever let me be unhappy. He has been a wonderful lover. This is just one of the little things that he has done: I happened to mention, months ago, that red roses were my favorite flower. Ever since that day they have been in my room. He has kept me sup- plied with fresh ones, big, sweet, red beauties. When I told him he was an extravagant boy-he laughed at me and said: ‘‘Mollie, don’t begin to preach now!’ Because he is a doctor he must work harder than most people, must go out at all hours of the day and night. Yet chopped parsley just before serving. Cucamber Jelly Salad—For cucum- ber salad, try making a jelly of the cu- cumbers in this way: Have ready half a cup of thick aspic jelly—made by add- ing gelatin to stock in the proportion of an ounce to a quart. Cut the pared cucumbers into thin slices and place them on a layer of the jelly, which has been allowed to stiffen in the bottom of a round mold. Add the rest of the jelly and let harden. Turn out and serve on lettuce with mayonnaise. The jelly ball when he was in college and he’s six feet tall. Yet sometimes he seems 80 dependent on me that it half frightens me. Sometimes he takes my face be- tween his strong, supple surgeon's hands and looks down into my eyes with his shining black ones and says, sort of chokily: ‘Little Mollie, you'll never go back on me, will you? You'll always stick ?’’ Add four or five.slices of cucumber and dress with French dressing. Whole to- matoes, with a cavity scooped out, can be filled with chopped cucumbers mixed with mayonnaise. Spinach Salad—Chop cold boiled spinach thoroughly. Dress with French dressing, and form into a small mound or a nest on each plate. If made in nest form, add three or four eggs made from the mashed yokes of hard boiled eggs and sprinkle the chopped white over all. If in a mound, garnish with lengthwise eighths of the hard boiled OES. All sorts of mixed vegetable salads are palatable at this time of year. There are as many combinations as the ingenuity of the cook may devise. For instance, diced cucumbers, diced sweet, red and green peppers and diced celery, mixed with French dressing, are good. Then there are diced tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers.

It was 114 years ago that Congress established the training school for officers on the benks of the Hudson, 52 miles north of New York City. Although the school for educating and training young men in the theory and practice of military science, to fit them for duty as officers of the United States army, Was not established until after Washington's death, he was in a way the real founder.

Phone: Kinloch, Central 5365 1796 he urged upon Congress the neces- sity of such an institution. The Con- tinental Congress, as early as 1776, had also suggested the desirability of ‘a military, school for the army.”’ Authorized in 1802, the military acad- emy was opened on the Fourth of Ju'y, with a class of 10 cadets. Prior to that time a number of students had been en- rolled at the forts at West Point, where a corps of artilleries and engineers were stationed and informal instruction had been given in the arts of war. The first decade of the academy’s ex- istence was marked by many vicissi- tudes. Although Congress had created the institution, the lawmakers apparent. ly soon forgot all about it, and, lacktne sufficient funds for its proper conduct. the academy authorities were hard pressed to keep it alive. At one time the school was without a single in- structor. In its first 10 years only 1% students graduated. In 1812 President Madison brought about: a reorganization of West Point. Soon 260 students were enrolled, and the institution began to assume some- thing of its present form. It was not until 1817, however, that West Point be- gan to receive serioug consideration in the military world. Col. Sylvanus Thayer, who has been called “the Father of West Point.’’ was appointed to command, and it was he who intro- duced the uniform, the organization and rules of study. Under his contro] the academy gained prestige and renown. Tn 1833, when he resigned the command, West Point had won the respect of tha military men of Burope and was count- ed among the world’s most famous in. ‘etitutions of its kind. In view of the present agitation for war preparedness, West Point may as- sume even greater importance in the coming years. One of the great lessons or this war has been the necessity for trained, skilled, scientific leadership. the lack of which has been keenly fe!t in several of the nations involved. <A great increase in the number of cadet» must necessarily accompany any in- crease in the military establishment. with love and laughter and tenderness. For I believe—I do believe—that the man to whom I give myself tomorrow will cherish the gift. I shall not tell him that I am writing about him, about myself, about us. At least, I shall not tell him for many, many years. But I think that perhaps on our silver wed- ding day I shall come to him with this little record of our wonderful time tcgether. Then he may read of the joy and peace and safety he has given me; the long, golden day our marriage has been.

One of them its because his hair stands straight up. I remember i wanted to run my fingers through it the first time I saw it—and then was ashamed of myself for the impulse. I think there never has been a mo- ment since I discovered my love that I doubted it. Oh, yes—there was one mo- ment. It was the day he struck Scott. That's my beautiful collie, and Ned and he had always been friends. But once, when Scott and I were out walking in the park, we met Ned unexpéctedly, and Scott rushed up to him. Scott’s hardly more than a puppy and his coat, wet from the bushes through which he’s scurried, brushed against Ned's light trousers and left a mark. His face seemed to twist and biacken and he swung the cane which he was carrying in two swift, vicious blows over Scott's back. An Aboriginal Temper. HEN I said ‘‘Ned!"’ in a voice which T I didn't know I owned, and called to Scott, who had circled just out of reach and was growling behind a white line of teeth. I have whipped Scott myself, but I am his mistress and I have never punished him because I was angry. In a moment Ned was beside me. “Mollie!” he oried, “I'm a brute I don’t know what came over me. It's my aboriginal temper. Can you and Scott ever forgive me?” For a moment my lover was a strange man and I had never seen him before.

Although Irving Kantlehner, the south- paw flinger for the Pirates, has won only two games this season and his de- feats number five, the left-hander at present is leading the National League, under the new way of ranking the hur'!- ers for their efficiency. In the games itched this year Kantlehner has al- owed just eight earned runs, for an average of 1.17 per game. All told, just 16 runs have been count- ed by the opposition while he was on the hil. His record shows that eight of these were responsible to errors by his mates, being tallied after the team had a chance to retire tme side. That he has been twirling good ball ts proved by the opponents’ hit column, which shows that only 41 bingles have been made off him. Here is his record: Date. Opponent. E.R. H.

And Carey right now has a good chance of walking away with his record of last year. In 22 games played to date by the Pirates’ outfielder, he has stolen 14 bases, an average of .64 per game. This means that in the remaining 125 games the Corsairs have play he will have to pilfer only 22 sacks to equal his 1915 figure. Uniess he falls down badly he hardly will fail.

GROOM UPSETS LEONAR‘} Carrigan’s Prize Pitcher Loses His First Battle of the Year to Jones’ Men. Speciat to the Post-Dispatch. BOSTON, May 20.—Manager Field- ér Jones of the Browns is tickled with the success his charges are hav- ing in the-home of the champions. Beating Foster and Leonard, and giv- ing the latter his first setback of the season, indicates that the Browns are on their way to the top, he says. No team has made such a fine im- pression as the Mound City men, and the ex-Feds-are er ne — all- around strength.

The Sox appear to have lost all their pepper, but if the Bos- | ton regulars could borrow a little of the ginger their bench warmers use they would liven up th ame. So sate? were the remarks of the Red a aceeaeny in their verbal attack ob Groom, Umpire Dinneen had + order Sam Agnew off the bench. Sisler Regains Stride. The more one sees of Goerge Sisler the more one sees a really remark- able ballplayer. The ex-collegian is not a first-sacker by choice, but he certainly looked the part of a fin- ished artist at that bag yesterday. His footwork was really a treat. In the fifth when Dutch Leonard rapped a gen gl over second, Johnson oon over my ¥ { remarkable speed, scoo up the ball and whipped it to Sisle Zeorse, seeing that the ball was ing to his port side, quickly shift ted the other foot to the bag and short- ened the throw by inches, just enough to efface the runner. It was a cruel remark that one fan made today, when he inquired if Tilly Walker was still on the Browns’ pa roll. To be sure, Walker's work yY was anything but commend- abis, but he was working hard to trim his old teammates, but for a man who has séen such long service in the American League his judgment on batters is extremely poor. It a gg Pn today that everytime he moved to left or right the batter would plant one in the spot Tilly hag just vacated. af anak ae for Walker, he has a pair round-coverers on either side oe, bic in Duffy Lewis and Harry Hooper. Thata Boy, Grumpy! Ward Miller was the object of a verbal attack from the Boston bench in the second inning, when he ground- eq out, and he gave better than they sent, He singled out Scott, the in- fielder, and yelled: “Why, you aren’t even on the Bos- ton team. Where do you get off?” Everything was quiet from the Beott section of the bench thereafter, Jimmy Austin was robbed of an al- most sure hit in the second when Hoblitzell speared his terrific line drive with his gloved hand. It was a nifty play. Austin looked awfully sweet, batting right-handed. Jimmy was not to be denied on his next tri to the late. Picking out one of Dutch | Leonard’s benders he soaked it against the fence and only the remarkable work of Lewis gathering in the rebound held the rap to two bases. Sisler game up to sacrifice Johnson to second in the sixth. He advanced the short fielder to the middle station and by a great burst of speed beat Leonard's throw to first himself, being credited with a hit. wae firet four innings consumed 65 min Vv more , 15 minutes . room 2 to too many "batters and Fielder Jones ts a happy man.

Sporting Editor Post-Dispatch. Oh, those great grand stand man- agers from whom we hear each even- ing in the Post-Dispatch! It is a shame that some of their sentiments cannot be expressed personally to our St. Louis managers, In Friday’s Post-Dispatch in particular, one of our “loyal” Brown rooters expressed himself rather openly by saying Sisler was a bloomer as a first base- man, and Pratt a joke at second. Why are sporting writers all through the East comparing Sisler and Pratt with the stars of our American pastime? They surely must have some statistics to make these comparisons. Clarke Griffith would trade half of his pres- ent Washington team for a Derrill Pratt, and would possibly cop the Seeetia As for Jones beihg an ¢g0- tist, as claimed by so many who know absolutely nothing about him, let me say right here these same “knockers” will be out at Sportsman’s Park knocking the bleacher seats with pop bottles for a run in the sev- enth inning. Pennants are not won in May, but rest assured we will be oy there in September with the best them, and with our s0- called “Egg First and Second Baseman.” =" D.

Sporting Editor: Dear Sir—I pay good money to see baseball—week days as well as business holidays, and while I have no ambition to become; or I should say, dread of becoming a grand siand manager, next to the cessation of the world War nothing would please me more than to be an éye- witness to the tar and feathering of such characters as frequently make them. selves conspicuous at local ball games. I refer, and without hesitancy, to the unspeakable boob thal changes his ad- dress during the. course of the game, accordinzs ti the score, and knows the visiting plevers by their first names, even well enough to speak to, while, as a@ matter of fact, tne best they could hope for in conv ersation would be a po- lite “Excuse Me”’ Yeurs, cK HM. a te Come on, Boys, Rally! Sporting Editor Pee-Dee. We read with no little degree of con- cern an anti-Jones article in Friday’s issue signed “M. H.

PW hy the only thii.s ‘‘M. H. H.”’ didn’t do to them there Brownies was to rip up the whole bloomin’ ball yard and ship the whole kit of ’em, bag and baggage, up Salt River. Think it over, “M. H.

Talking through hats has been quite an interesting little diversion for some time past. e all indulge in it, quite unconsciously, per- haps—it sort o’ relieves the monotony of things. Perhaps in this particular instance, “M. H. H.,"’ you were talKing througn a hat. We hope so. We will not dwell upon the shortcom- ings of the Browns. There aren't any! In so far as ‘‘class’’ goes, the team is there! They are simply playing poor pall, as any good ball club will do at any time. The team has been undergoing the molding and weeding out process. The men are getting acquainted with each other and their style of play. In the meantime Jones is feeling out his ‘‘com- bination.” But we will not continue with the alibi stuff. A good team doesn’t look for an alibi. You can’t win ball games “ifs.”” That's typical Jones phi-| it's the situation in a nut-) And, moreover, why should we ‘*knoek’’ the St. Louis teams? Aren't they ours? Of course, we all have our reference. for one or the other of the ocal entries, but we want to see ‘em both win, don’t we?

(The class, in the middie of the second line of ‘‘When in the course of human events,’’ etc., is startled by a polite kmock at the door. Always eager for excitement in the form of ‘‘visitors,’’ the class puts on extra inflection and sits unnaturally erect. The door opens. The principal’s pet errand boy ushers in Mrs, Brown, mother of Robert Brown, aged 9.) EACHER i(rising)—Do you wish T to see me? Mrs. B. (with dignity)—I am Mrs. Brown. I received a note from you asking me to come to _ school to see you about my son, Robert. 1! can’t understand what it means, so Il came. (In the vicinity of Robert Brown's desk there is a perfect fever of comment. Robert kimself slides down until he is balancing himegelf on the third dorsal vertebra of his spinal column, which is some feat.) Teacher (calmly)—So this is Mrs. Brown? I regret having to send for you. I never send for mothers ex- cept in cases of absolute, necessity. Mrs. B. (raising her brows)—Indéed? And what is the absolute necessity in this particular case, may I ask? Teacher (very quietly)—Well, that Robert is becoming almost un- bearable in class, Mrs. Brown. He does not obey; he talks incessantly; he puts tar in the inkwells and carries dead goldfish around in his pockets. Mrs. B. (interrupting angrily)—Do you expect me to believe such rubbish about MY son? Teacher (getting on her high horse)— Do you doubt my veracity? Mrs. B.

But, of course, some people are born with a knack for handling children and others are not. Teacher (coldly)—Implying that I was not, which doesn’t offend me in the least. I have tried to appeal to Robert through the softer side of his nature. At noon he is reduced to tears with re- morse. In the afternoon, as a reward, I make him monitor of writing ma- terials and he repays me by sharpening the pen points on sandpaper, causing the entire class to ruin their copybooks. Mrs. B. (suspiciously)—Strange, very! When either his father or I reprimand Robert he is crushed for the week. Teacher (curiously)—You say that I! am the first teacher to complain of Robert? Mrs. B. (with emphasis)—Yes, the very first. The others were lovely girls. The child certainly improved under their tutelage. And I showed my apprecia- tion very materially, I assure you. Teacher (sounding the depth)—Oh, you did? Mrs. B. (spitefully)—Yes, I did. My husband being in the wholesale cloak and suit business made it very handy. Many a swagger suit those girls got for nothing. Teacher (interruptig gently)—Of course I may have adopted the wrong view- ee — eee ee The Limit in Politeness. CERTAIN professor is unusually courteous, both in and out of the classroom. One day he made a bonfire in his back garden. The flames, creep- ing rapidly through the dry stubble, frightened him, and he believed his house was in imminent danger. So he ran wildly down the street, crying at the top of his voice: “Help! Fire! Fire! Help!”’ And then, as if thinking himself too abrupt and urgent, he politely added, so his,neighbors say: “That is,” all those iently do so.” who can conven- ——— Tae Seng Sowa Misseari Geards Every Night and Day Account => | i] Pay Day Today! “No hope!" was the mournful verdict of the jeweler. “Might as well send it to Davy Jone’s locker.” “What's the matter?’’ alarmed. ‘Found a cockroach Inside.”’ “That's what plugged up the works, eh?” “No,” replied the jeweler. ‘The cockroach had been keeping the thing going, but he died at his post.”’ asked Jimmy, ASE FOR and GET HORLICK?S THE ORIGINAL : MALTED MILK | Start Your | Savings Account This Afternoon or Evening at the Night and Day Bank your the theater if New York and New England Special St. ; Teh eng cr nn Neate St. Louis if desired, before leaving. = Dea’'t Overlook the Splendid New York Central Limited Le. &.
