BERLIN, by wireless to Sayville, May 23.—Announcement was made by the War Office today that in the fighting north of Verdun the French have taken some first line positions of the Germans, but that Fort Douau- mont remains firmly in German hands. — The Austrians are successfully con- tinuing their offensive against the Ital- fans in the Southern Tyrol, according to the War Office announcement today. They have advanced on both sides of the Sugana Valley, driving the Italians before them and have captured the for- _ tified position of Velna. The statement says: “Western front: Preparations by the British to make a counter-attack southwest of Givenchy-en-Gohelle were observed. Small advances by the British in the Roclincourt district were repulsed. “In the Meuse district (Verdun front) the fighting was especially heavy on account of the enemy’s counter attacks. West of the river the Germans captured a French block- house south of Camard forest. Hos- tile attacks east of Hill 304 and on the southemp slope of Dead Man Hill resulted in failure. ‘East of the Meuse there were violent infantry engagements on the front south of Thidtimént Farm; as tar as the Calli- etté Wood. The French, after a strong artillery preparation, entéred the fore- most German positions, but were re- pulsed on the flanks of the sector by German counter attacks. South of the village and south of the former fort of Douaumont the engagement is not yet finished. Fort Doauumont remained firmly in German hands. “On the heights of the Meuse south- east of Verdun, near Vaux-les-Palameux and Seucey, the enemy’s attacks for the most part broke down before our curtain of fire. Small detachments which en- tered our trenches were annihilated. MOST OF FORTRESS REOCCUPIED, SAYS PARIS WAR OFFICE French Reported to Have Driven Germans From Dou- aumont in Surprise Attack. PARIS, May 23.—Fighting continued with extreme violence on the Meuse aiong the Verdun front during the whole night. Two German counter attacks on French position on Hill 304 failed com- pletely, the War Office announced this afternoon. The French made further gains within Fort Douaumont. The Germans now hold only a smal! angle on the northeast- ern corner of the fort. ‘The battle around Hill 304 was espe- cially severe. In attacking French po- sitions on the west side of the hill, the Germans used liquid gas, the official statement says, and penetrated one of the French trenches, but were dislodged at once. On the east side of the hill ‘ the Germans attacked after intense ar- tillery preparation, but were not per- mitted to reach the French lines. Germans Regain Trench. The principal fighting east of the Meuse was in the sector between Thia- mont and Douvaumont. The Germans at- tacked in mass formation and are said to have suffered enormous losses. They . Succeeded in reoccupying one of the trenches north of Thiamont Farm which had been captured by the French. Recapture after three months of the greater part of Fort Dovaumont, which was taken by the Germans at the out- set of their Verdun drive, is received with great elation by the French press and the public, the more so on account of the effect it is expected to have on neutral opinion. Gen. Nivelle, the French commander at Verdun, took ad- vantage of the fact that the Germans recently have been concentrating all their attention on Dead Man Hill, on - the other side of the river, and assem- bled a large amount of artillery for the attack on the Douaumont sector.

NEW ORLEANS, May 2%.—The legal fraternity of New Orleans is split on the question of whether a snapping turtle can bite. Two eminent lawyers argued before Judge Fred D. King in Civil District Court today that a turtle, being toothlesa, can’t bite. Two equally emi- nent lawyers, citing the case of the mosquito, said a bite is a bite whether the biter has teeth or not. Judge King is to judicially settle the case and on his decision will depend Arthony D. Miceli’s chances of winning his*suit for $5000 personal damages. Miceli was walking through the com- mission district 10 days ago and came within striking range of a turtle that had crawled onto the sidewalk from a coop. Mr. Turtle snipped a hefty chunk from Miceli's ankle and he brought suit against the turtle’s owners. The firm entered as its main defense that a turtle can't bite. INDIA BUYS 7,500,000 PESOS FROM FILIPINO TREASURY Twenty Per Cent Profit on Sale to Relieve Shortage of Silver in | China and Hindustan. MANILA, May 23.—Jeremiah H. Man- ning, Insular Treasurer, returned today from China, where he concluded nego- tiations for the sale to the Indian Gov- ernment of 7,500,000 silver* pesos at a profit to the Insular Government of 20 per cent. The bullion wil be shipped immediately, British officials taking over the coin at Manila. THE POLITICA!

SUBMARINE TAKES CAPTAIN PRISONER AND SINKS HIS SHIP Germans Say Languedoc Commander Tried to Defend Vessel From Attack in Mediterranean. MARSEILLES, France, May 23.—In- formation received here today concern- ing the loss of the French steamship Languadoc, 1612 tons gross and owned in Marseilles, sigws that she was sunk in the Mediterranean, on Saturday, by a submarine. Capt. Pierre Battisti was taken a pris- oner on board the submarine, on the ground that he attempted to defend his ship. The Languedoc was sunk by shell fire from the submarine, which killed one member of the crew and wounded two others seriously and 10 slightly. SAYS WATE USED CHLOROFORM TU HASTEN PECK S END Prosecutor Declares Dentist Held Drug to Nostrils of Dying Millionaire Father-in-Law. DOCTOR ON THE STAND, Swears Accused Admitted Buying Arsenic “‘Because Old Gentle- man Didn’t Want to Live.”’ — NEW YORK, May 2.—The State con- tinued to pile up medical testimony to- day as the foundation of its case against Dr. Arthur Warren Waite, the dentist, charged with murdering his father-in- law, John EB: Peck, of Grand Rapids, Mich. Peck was reputed to be a million- aire and the theory of the prosecution 1s that the defendant committed the mur- edr so that he might fall heir to the Peck fortune. Dr. Victor C. Vaughn, dean of the medical department of the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, was the first witness called today. Dr. Vaughn, who made an analysis of the organs of Peck, described in minute detail the effects of the arsenic poisoning. Dr. Albertus A. Moore, physician who attended Peck before his death at the Waites’ apartment in New York, had not finished; his testimony under cross-exam- ination when the first session of the trial adjourned yesterday. .Upon direct examination he declared that Dr. Waite admitted he had purchased arsenic for his aged father-in-law. The reason, he gave, according to the witnesses, was “the old gentleman did not want to live.”’ Prisoner Bows His Head Waite sat with bowed head while Dr. Vaughn was testifying. His paleness betrayed his nervous tension when glass jars containing the organs of Peck’s body were produced. Dr. Vaughn swore he found two and a half grains of arsenic in Peck’s xtomach and amounts of it too small to weigh in other organs. Dr. Otto H. Schultze, medical exam- iner for the District Attorney of New York, next testified concerning his visit to Grand Rapids to investigate Peck’s death.-, Dr.-Stanley Ri-Benedi¢t, professor of chemistry at the Cornell Medical School, who was next called, corrob- orated the testimony of Dr. Vaughn as to the presence of arsenic in the body. Dr. Benedict added that in examining a part of Peck’s brain he found an un- mistakable trace of chloroform. He ex- amined the embalming fluid used, but found no trace of chloroform or arsenic in it. Said to Have Used Chioroform. In his opening address District Attor- new Swann declared that Waite has- tened Peck’s last moments by applying to his nostrils a handkerchief soaked with chloroform. Other medical witnesses summoned by the prosecution today were Dr. Percy S. Churtz of Grand Rapids, the Peck family physician; Dr. Ott Schultze, County Medical Examiner, who was sent to Grand Rapids to investigate the cases, and Dr. Victor Vaughn, pathologist, of the University of Michigan. The defense has announced that it will call one or more alienists and indi- cations are that Waite’s attorneys will try to prove that when he committed the* crime to which he has several times confessed, he was, insane.

USE OF THEATER REFUSED Sympathetic Crowd Assembles in Front of Victoria; Street Ad- dress Prevented. It was learned today by a Post-Dis- patch reporter that E. V. P. schnieder- hahn, an attorney, with offices in the International Life Building, who is chairman of the Committee on Pubiic Morals and Relations of the Federation of Catholic Societies, organized the op- position to Mrs. Margaret Sanger, ad- vocate of birth control, which resulted in her being barred from use of the Vic- toria Theater last night. Schniederhahn stated to jhe reporter that the same protest which led to the cancellation of -the Victoria Theater date was made to the management of the City Club, where Mrs. Sanger was scheduled to speak at today’s lunch- eon. The protest was of no avail, as she was permitted to make her speech. There was a lar~: audience present. The method he followed, Schnieder- hahn said, in preventing the Vicotria Theater meeting, was to call up some of his friends and have them get after the management of the theater with whom Mrs. Sanger had contracted for the use of the building. He told them, he said, that the contract was not enforceabie because it had evidently been obtained by false pretenses and because the use to which it was to be put was immoral. He said that Fred A. Coller, State president of the Catholic Knights of America, and Henry Siemer, nationa! secretary of the same organization, and a number of priests had taken part in the protest. The representation made to the Victoria management, he said, was that if Mrs. Sanger was permitted to use the theater tho management need not expect Catholic organizations and inetitutions to visit it In the future. “So far as the City Club is con- cerned,” Schneiderhahn said, “it would be a matter of surprise and disgust to the Catholic populatién if the club gave its respectable name to a disreputable doctrine. This is not my personal opinion only ‘but the opinion of the Catholic people. I am not a member of the club, but that is what our people say.” Schneiderhahn caid that at a meet- ing Sunday of the Executive Council of the Catholic Knights of America, representing upwards of 40 branches in the city, a resolution was unani- mously adopted supporting the posi- tion of the Committee on Public Mor- als and Relations on the Sanger tour. “In the discussion,’ he said, “it was made plain that any hall, theater or society that offers accommodations to Mrs. Sanger cannot reasonably expect the support of the Catholic popula- tion.”’ No protests have been made, he said, to the Town Club, before which Mrs. Sanger is to speak this evening. President Dwight Davis of the City Club said he knew of no formal protest against the Sanger address and had heard of no objection on the part of any of the members. Secretary Gustavus Tuckerman said one member called him up and pro- tested, but there would be no change in the arrangements, because the club save a hearing to advocates of all sorts of things, but did not, by so doing, com- mit itself to an indorsement of the views of any. Miss Jessie Moller, president of the Town Club, a woman's organization, before which Mrs. Sanger will speak at 6:30 this evening at a dinner at the American Annex, said that the Town Club was not sponsoring any public meeting held by Mrs. Sanger. The club is an open forum, she said, and is willing to listen to any propaganda, without committing itself to any of the theories advanced by speakers. An injunction was sought yesterday afternoon by Attorney E. M. Grossman to restrain the German Theater Realty Co., owners of the Victoria, from inter- fering with the meeting by withholding the use of the building. Judge Shields declined to issue a temporary order, sug- gesting that relief would better be sought in a suit for damages. Friends of Mrs. Sanger advised her last night to bring such a suit. Ahkout 1500 persons gathered about the Victoria Theater at 8 o’clock last even- ing, although the management of the theater had announced early in the day that Mrs. Sanger’s date had been can- celled. Oscar Leonard, secretary of the Jewish Educational Alliance, announced Mrs. Sanger would speak in eam Sepeeee Crowd Greets Mre.

Many persons shook hands with Mrs. Sanger. O'Hare, speak- ing from an automobile, said that Mrs. Sanger had been invited to St. Louls by e committee of nurses, physicians and professional men for the purpose of arousing thoughtful people to the neces- sity of birth control. Police Sergeant Silverman interrupted C"Hare and hold him that as the street was being blocked he could speak but two minutes longer.

NE WYORK, May %.—The first in- dictments resulting from the tapping of telephone wires in his city by the po- iice to obtain helpful information were returned by the Kings’ County (Brook- lyn) grand jury today. John A. Kings- bury, City Commissioner of Charities, and William H. Hotchkiss, special counsel for the charities department, were the men indicted. The indictments are in connection with the Brooklyn branch of wire tapping inquiry, and are not related to the tap- ping of wires in the law office of Sey- mour & Seymour. 22 AUTOISTS ARE ARRESTED FOR VIOLATION OF LIGHT LAW Beams Must Not Be Raised More Than Three Feet Above Pavement 75 Feet From Lar-ps. The ordinance requiring that the beam of automobile headlights shall not be raised to more than three feet above the street level at a distance of 75 feet ahead of the lamps was given particular attention by the police last night. Com- plaint had been made to headquarters that the law, which_was rigidly en- forced some time back, was being gen- erally ignored, and Captains of the West End districts were ordered to make ar- rests. Patrolmen were stationed at two main points of automobile traffic—Leffingwell avenue and Locust street and Grand avenue and Lindell boulevard and 22 au- toists were arrested. The police relied upon their own vision in making arrests, but at the station in cases where there was a dispute they verified their suspicion with a testing board. The cases against 13 of the autoists were dismissed by Judge Hvugan upon recommendation of Assistant Associate City Counselor Sadler. Eight were fined % and costs, but the fine stayed upon the phyment of §3 costs. Ohe man who did not appear in court was fined $5 and costs by default. JOHN BROWN'S LAND BOUGHT Memortal to Be Bullt to Leader of Famous Reid. MEADVILLE, Pa. May 23.—The National Historical Society has pur- chased five acres of land, 12 miles east of here, owned by John Brown of Civil War fame and upon which he built a tan- nery. The society will tnctlose the iand and erect a suitable marker to his MAN WHO-KILLED which was formerly ADMIRER OF HIS WIFE EXONERATED Laborer Is Cleared by Inquest and Prosecutor Orders His Release. A Coroner's jury of farmers at Fort Bellefontaine, last night, exonerated Tony Drugol, a laborer, for killing Nicola Todor, his wife’s admirer, ear- lier in the day. The Sher:ff and Pros- ecuting Attorney were so in accord with the jury's finding of ‘‘justifiable homi- cide’’ that Drugol was released. He became.reconciled to his wife after Cor- oner Bopp had pleaded with her to go home for --e sake of her four young children. Drugol and Todor were employes of the Union Sand and Materia] Co., and Todor boarded at Drugol’s home. Severa] weeks ago Drugol suspected that his wife, who is 35 years old, had a fondness for the boarder, who was 2%, and told her she ought to be careful and avoid scandal. Found Pair in Woods. Yesterday morning he went home for some tools he had forgotten, and found his wife absent. He waited half an hour and then took a revolver and went into some woods near by to look for her. He surprised her and Todor there together. ° When Todor saw him, 121 agol testified at the inquest, he sprane at ths husband with a dagger. @odor knocked the weapon from his hand. As Todor stooped to pick up a rock, Drugol shot him in the head. “When I shot him,” Drugol told the Coroner, “I decided to kill my wife, too. Then I thought of our four children. I decided they needed their mother. The oldest is only 10. of! didn’t shoot her.” Telephoned to Police. The husband walked to a store some distance away, telephoned to the authorities that he had shot a man and advised them to send a doctor. A physician went from Florissant and Steriff Bode and Coroner Bopp went from Clayton. The shooting was about 10:36 a. m. and Drugol, unconscious, lay on the grass under a tree until 3, when he died without having regained con- sciousness. The doctor was with him for a long time but could do nothing t> relieve him. Mrs. Drugol wept at the inquest. }She told of frequent meetings with Todor when her husband was atsent.

LONDON ADMITS GERMAN ADVANCE NEAR GIVENCHY LONDON, May 2%3.—Heavy losses in men were suffered by the British when the Germans took trenches from them over a front of about a mile and a quar- ter near Givenchy-er-G.velille and in counter attacks to regain them, accord- ing to Berlin. The British official statement on the campaign in the Western zone reads: “After a heavy bombardment all yes- terday (Sunday), becoming most in- tense in the afternoon, the enemy at- tacked our position on the north end of Vimy Ridge and succeeded in pene- trating our front line of trenches on a front of about 1500 yards." penetration varies from 100 to 300 yards. “Today our artillery subjected the German positions to a heavy hombard- ment.

We obtained direct hits on an enemy battery east of Blairville.”’ Hard fighting is still in progress be- tween the Austrians and Italians in the Tyrol, the French and the Germans in the region of Verdun, and the Germans and British around Labasse. The great offensive of the Austrians against the Italians in Southern Tyrol continues unabated, and at several points the Austrians seem gradually to be throwing back the Italians toward their own territory. To the southeast of Trent, on the Lavarone plateau, Vienna says, the Italians have been dislodged from all‘their positions and adds that the Austrians have. captured Fima, Madrioto and the height immediately west of the frontier from the summit as far as the Astach (Astico) Valley. The Italians, according to Rome advices, have been heavily reinforced in men and guns. Since the beginning of the of- fensive, Vienna asserts, more than 24,000 men have been taken prisoners and 172 cannon have been captured by the Aus- trians.

NEEDS A MERCHANT MARINE John Barrett Declares Commerce With Latin America Could Be Doubled. CONVENTION 1000 AT W. C. Gordon, State President, Thinks Country Is Entering Era of Prosperity. John Barrett, director-general of the Pan-American Union, addressed the twenty-sixth annual convention of the Missouri Bankers’ Association at the Garrick Theater, on Chestnut street, near Broadway, this afternoon. He spoke on “The New Pan-Americanism and the Central West,”’ and told of things which, in his opinion, the Government and busi- ness interests must do to obtain for the United States its proper share of the trade of South and Centra! America. First in importance, he placed a mer- chant marine. Without a large fleet of. merchant vessels flying the American flag, he said, it will be impossible for the United States to compete success- fully for trade. “It ig just as illogical,’’ Barrett de- clared, for the United States to depend upon the vessels of other countries to conduct its foreign trade as it is for a great department store to depend upon the delivery automobiles of a rival store to carry to its patrons the articles which they have purchased, and yet at the outbreak of, the European war over % per cent of the shipments of the United States to foreign lands were carried in vessels flying the flags of the nations which are now at war. The United States, during the first year of the Eu- ropean war, from lack of ships, lost over $200,000,000 in the trade with Latin America, and would at this moment be doing almost double its present com- merce if it had adequate steamship fa- cilities. Advocates Branch Banks. “The next and second important step to be taken is the establishment of banks controlled by United States cap- ital throughout Latin America for only in this way can the problems of ex- change and of credits be solved to the advantage of this country. Already the National City Bank of New York City has led the way for Eastern banks. Now the. financial interests of the Cen- tral West, headed by the banks of Chi- cago, St. Louis, Kansas City and other commercial and financial centers, should take immediate steps to. establish banks in the principal commercial cen- ters of Latin America controlled by the capital of this section. Every such bank will be a direct agency for the ex- port and import trade of the Central West. “The third need of the day is the in- vestment of United States capital in the public loans and private enterprises of Latin America. Heretofore our sister republics have obtained their borrowed money from Europe. That supply is now cut off. Unless the United States steps into the breach, the great mate- rial development of these Southern na- tions will be seriously retarded. Every dollar that the United States may put into Latin America will bring back a dollar of added trade. If this country will invest $500,000,000 in Latin America during the next five years, it will wit- ness an increase of $6500,000,000, in the value of its exports and imports ex- changed.” Other necessities, he said, were (4) legislation by Congress which will per- mit exporting firms to organize and agree on prices to be charged for their goods in foreign markets; (5) education of young business men in the use of Latin-American languages, and in knowledge of the lands where those languages are spoken, and (6) improve- ment in packing and advertising meth- ods, trade mark and copyright agree- ments. More than 1000 delegates are attend- ing the convention, which will close with a theater party tomorrow night. William E&. Knox, comptroller of the Bowery Savings Bank, New York, spoke on “Thrift and Preparedness.’ He said the savings bank was one of the greatest agencies in making immigrants into American citizens. Foreign Capital to Be Scarcer. He said that, after the end of .the war, European labor will be cheap, and American manufacturers, to compete in foreign markets with European manu- facturers, may have to lower the wages paid to labor here. Foreign capital will rot be available for American enter- prises, as before the war. Foreign nations, he added, will be bur- dened with debt after the war, and the masses will be able to spend money only for necessities. This, he said, calls for economic preparedness, and he ad- vocated co-operation of labor with cap- ital. The prosperity of the railroads is linked with that of the nation, he said, and they should not be ‘hampered by trritating legislation.”’ Thomas C. Middleton of Unionville, Mo., spoke on “American Idealism and American Business."" W. C. Gordon of Marshall, president of the State organ- ization, delivere.. the opening address. and spoke in favor of a new State Con- stitution, a Federal Tariff Commission, and a thrift campaign. He said Amer- ican citizens should uphold President Wilson and shouxw withhold criticism until events have tested the results of his policy. Gordon said to a Post-Dispatch re- porter that bankers look forward to an era of great prosperity, because of the country’s prospective financial position at the end of the war. “Of course, there is always danger of overexpansion."" he explained. “But I do not think that we will suffer from such when the war ends."’ Gordon said that he favored adequate preparedness and thought that the ma- jority of the bankers present realized the necessity of the country being in a position to maintain its rights and its dignity Headquarters and registration offices of the association are at the Planters Hotel. ERE E Bt CROSS oF WAR FOR BRAVERY Decoration Given to St. Louisas Is Highest Service Award Given to ’ French Soldiers. Elmore M. Bostwick, 24 years 0oi-, son of Librarian and Mrs. Arthur ©. Bostwick of 70 Vandeventer place, @ with the Brench Army, has been decvu- with the Frenc harmy, has been deco- rated with the croix de vuerre, or cross of war, the highest service decoration given to French soldiers, according to a letter received today by his mother. The ,letter came from the mother of young Bostwick’s chum,- George K. Houpt of Buffalo, who has been with him near the front in the Verdun re- gion. Mrs. Houpt said her son and Bostwick, and other members of the corps, had received the decorations in- dividually, and that Gen. Petain, the French commander at Verdun, wrote a letter commending this corps particu- larly for its bravery and its untiring work. : During the most severe fighting at Verdun, the members of the ambulance corps were on duty 19 hours a day, and worked under continuous shell fire. A part of their work was done within four miles of Dead Man's Hill. They carried more than 14,000 French wound- ed to the rear, according to Houpt’s letter to his mother. The Harjes corps was organized by the Paris represen- tative of J. P. Morgan & Co. KITCHIN SAYS NAVAL BILL WILL PASS BY WEEK FROM SATURDAY Announces That Longer Day Sessions and Three Hours a Night Will Be Devoted to It. WASHINGTON, May 23.—The naval appropriation bill will pass the House not later t:an a week from Saturday, Majority Leader Kitchin said today. Longer day sessions and three hours every night next week will be devoted to its consideration, he said. Representative Mann, minority leader, attacked the plan as a political trick to force measures through hurriedly on the eve of the Republican national conven- tion. Kitchin said a special rule would be brought in to take up the bill Tues- day at the latest. Representative Butler of Pennsylvania, ranking Republican on the Naval Com- mittee, said it was the understanding of many Republicans that the bill was not to be considered until after the conven- tion and they had made plans accord- ingly. He warned the Democrats he would insist on the maintenance of a quorum all the time, and said that two or three days was not enough time for a $300,000,000 bill. JURY IN ORPET CASE LIKELY TO BE COMPLETED LATE TODAY More Rapid Progress Made in Selec- tion of Men to Try Waukegan, Ii, Murder Case. WAUKEGAN, Ill, May 2.—Judge Charles H. Donnelly, sitting in the case of Will Orpet, University of Wisconsin student, charged with the murder of Marion Lambert, Lake Forest High School girl, predicted that the jury in the case would be completed before ad- jcurnment today. The entire first week of the trial resulted tn the selection of four men. Progress was more rapid yesterday, two men being tentatively ac- cepted by both sides and two more passed by the defense, making eight in the jury box when court opened today. Celestia Youker, the girl to whom Orpet was said to have been attentive, yester- day asserted her belief in his innocence. It was rumored yesterday that the bot- tle alleged by the State to be the con- tainer in which Orpet carried poison to the girl was in the possession of the prosecution. The Sheriff and Attorney Dady refused to discuss the report.

COST ENGLAND $1 205,000,000 Asquith Gives Figures of Great- est Expenditure Between April 1 and May 20. PRESENTS NEW BUDGET Premier Wants $1,500,000,000 to Carry Expenses to First Week in August. LONDON, May 23.—iIn moving the vote of credit for £300,000,000 ($1,500,000,000) as has been forecast, in the House of Com- mons today, Premier Asquith com- mented that this was the eleventh vote since the beginning of the war and the second for the current financial year. The total granted this year, he added, was £600,000,000 ($3,000,000,000), making a grand total of £2,382,000,000 ($11,500,000,000). In proposing the vote of credit, Pre- mier Asquith laid before the House of Commons an account in some detail of the Government’s recent financial oper- ations. He took up the period between April 1 and May 2, saying the actual outlay during those © days was £2l,- 000,000. Expenditures for the army, navy and for munitions in that time accounted for £149,000,00, loans to allies and domin- ions for £74,500,000, <nd outlay for food supplies, railways items, £17,6w,000. Army Expenses Less. The daily average expenditure of the Bank of England has been reduced to £4,600,000. There had been no increase, but a slight decrease in expenditures for the fighting forces. The total outlay was somewhat larger, mainly on account of loans to allies and dominions. ‘The average expenditure for the army, the navy and for munitions,’””’ Mr. As- quith continued, ‘“‘was just £3,000,000 daily.”’ Speaking of loans to allies, he said: “Without that financial assistance it is literally true that the combined oper- ations*’of the allies could not be prose- cuted with success and efficiency. The House would not grudge an addition to expenditures in order that the whole financial, naval and military fabric, upon whose co-operative work the success of our joint efforts depends, should be kept in a state of efficiency.’’ No Reduction in Sight. The Premier added he could hold out no hope of any appreciable reduction in expenditures. Estimating that the £300,000,000 added would last until the middle of the first week in August, the Premier said he moved this vote with the same confidence as he felt in moving the first vote, but at this stage he would deal only with the financial posi- tion. The Premier said that expenditure of £241,000,000 between April 1 and May 20— a daily average of £4,820,000—was the highest rate reached by Great Britain in any such period during the war.” GILMORE, BERSCH, IMEL WANT VENUE CHANGE IN ARSON CASE Say They Cannot Get a Fair Trial Be- cause of Prejudice Against Them in St. Louis.

MUNICIPAL DENTAL CLINIC IN ST, LOUIS IS ADVOCATED of Hygiene for Schools Points Out That 50 Pupils Each Week Visit St. Louls U. Clinic. A municipal dental clinic was advo- cated today by Dr. James Stewart, head of the department of hygiene of the Board of Education, following the re- ceipt of a report which showed that 1856 visits were made to the St. Louis University Dental College clinic from Oct. 12 to date by public school pupils whose parents were unable to pay for dental services. The report from the dental college shows that an average of 530 pupils vis- ited the clinic each week, and that 650 teeth were filled without chatge. Dr. James P, Harper, dean of the dental college, is also president of the Board of Education. This report, Dr Dispatch reporter, shows the need in St. Louis of a municipal dental clinic to handle cases of bad teeth for persons who cannot afford to pay a dentist. “A decayed tooth is the gateway for almost any sort of disease,”’ Dr. Stew- art pointed out. “A large percentage of the poorer classes, who find themselves sent to hospitals with diseases of vari- ous kinds, have become infected through bad teeth.’’ Appeal fot $12,500 Brings Small Re- sponse.

Of the 36 accredited convention dele- gates, 28 voted. The count showed 21 for Stifel and seven for former Gov. Hadley. Stifel came in at the eleventh hour as a dark horse. E. L. Morse of Excel- sior Springs, leader of the opposition to Hadley, had given the impression be- fore the meeting that he favored the election of Berryman Henwood of Han- nibal. Henwood Withdraws Name. Henwood withdrew after his name had been submitted by the First Dis- trict delegation. He said he would not permit his name to go before the meet- ing if this would result in a fight on Hadley. Thomas R. Parks of Kansas City, a Hadley booster, made a losing fight for his candidate. He said that it had been reported that a caucus had been held at the Planters Hotel two weeks ago and that it was said there that Hadley would not be permitted to have any honors from the party in the State. “Hadley is the big asset of the party in this State,’’ said Marks, ‘“‘and wheth- er or not he receives honors here he will surely receive them in Chicago. @Murning to Morse, Marks excaliuied: “You ought to keep your name out of the papers and quit raising hell. If I were a Billy Sunday I'd raise hell with you. There’s nothing personal in this, Liv, but I’m talking right straight ut you. Why don’t you get right down to the grass roots and find out what's du- ing in this State?” Stifel was nominated by State Sena- tor A. E. L. Gardner of Clayton. The votes of vroxies were accepted, but T. K.

The committeeman will be cho- sen by the Missouri delegates at the Chicago convention. Former Gov. Hadley was expected to attend today’s meeting, but he tele- phoned from Kansas City this morning that an attaca of biliousness would pre- vent him from coming to St. Louis.

Marks of Kansas City, for years a close follower of Gov. Had- ley, and E. L. Morse of Excelsi: ° Springs, a standpat State leader of 1912, both said they were undecided. Holmes hall of Sedalia said he was W. C,. Porter of Car- thage, D. W. Porter of Mound City, D. H. Kirk of Harrisonville and J. M. McAnaulty of Neosho, all said. they were for Hughes and nad no second choice. T. W.

FIRST SUBMARINE ENGINE READY I DUESEL FACTORY Develops 75 Horse Power in Ad- dition to the 600 Required by the Government. The first marine engine ever made ia St. Louis for use in a submarine has just been completed at the fac- tory of the Busch-Sulzer Bros. Diesel Engine Co. at 3300 South Second street. The which merly finery engine is of the Diesel type, burns heavy oil cf a kind for- regarded as a worthless re- by-product. The development of the Diesel type of engine revealed a new use for this grade of oil. Three navy Lieutenants have been in St. Louis for months, supervising the building of the engine, which was designed to develop 600 horsepewer, but on its final factory test showed 675 horsepower, or 12% per cent more than the specifications called for. The engine has been sold to. the Lake Submarine Co. In about three weks it will be installed in the new submarine L-8, which that company is tLuilding for the United States Gov- ernment at Portsmouth, N. H. Besides the one in St. Louis the only factory for the Diesel engines in the United States is that of tie Electric Boat Co. at New London, Conn. This company makes subma- rines for the Government under the Holland patents and has _ installed Diesel engines in several of its sub- marines.

C. B. Ackley of Fash- ionable St. Bartholomew’s Married Atlanta Society Girl. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, May 23.—Phoenix In- _ esterday submitted to Supreme Court Justice Giegerich a report recommending a divorce for the Rev. Charles B. Ackley, assistant rector of the fashionable St. Bar- tholomew’s Church. The report is based upon the testimony showing that Mrs. Henrietta I. Ackley, wife of the clergyman, while abroad, re- ceived visits from Samuel Charles. Charles is a wealthy European. He is alleged to have met Mrs. Ackley while she was traveling in Paris and Genoa. She filed an answer denying the charges, btu the referee held there was evidence-sufficient to warrant a decree. Justice Giegerich reserved decision upon the Rev. Mr. Ackley’s motion to confirm thé report. The Rev. Mr. Ackley was married in Atlanta in December, 1907, to Henrietta L. Owsley. She has a fine contralto voice and was a favorite in social cir- cles in Atlanta and this city. Among her friends she numbers Miss Theodora Shonts and her sister, the Duchess de Chaulnes. She is a niece of Mrs. John B. Gordon, widow of Gen. John B. Gor- don, former Governor of Georgia, and is noted for her beauty. The Rev. Mr. Ackley was born in Wisconsin and became curate at Grace Church after his admission to the min- istry. Prior to his association with St. Bartholomew's he was archdeacon of Oriente Provence, Cuba.

SERIOUS UNREST THERE Party Obtains Guns and Ammu- nition From Carranza Of- ficials at Juarez. By CLAIR KENAMORE. A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. EL PASO, Tex., May 23.—Disregarding the request of the United States Gov- ernment that Americans leave and stay out of Mexico for the present, a party of 12 Americans started this morning for Parral to look after their properties, relying on the promises of the Carranza Government for protection. At the head of the party is A. J. Mc- Quatters of the Alvardo Mining and Milling Co. McQuatters, who lives in Boston, is a rich man. He was responsi- ble for the resumption of the conference between Gen. Obregon and Gen. Scoit after it seemed an empasse had been reached. He was undoubtedly of great assistance to the American conferees in the memorable 12-hour session in a hotel room, but from the subsequent confer- ences he was excluded. He showed no resentment at the time, but it is proba- ble that his action today was a reflec- tion of his feelings. John Y. Baskin in Party. Second in command is John Y. Baskin, a customs broker and a pioneer of the border. He acted as interpreter in one of the conferences. Baskin has per- formed many notable deeds in Mexico, particularly the bringing to Presidio |from Parral of $1,000,000 in gold bullion in times of revolution when all railroads were idle. He hauled the bullion in 14 wagons with false hottoms and loaded with alfalfa. The Alvardo is one of the best silver and gold producing properties owned by Americans in Mexico. McQuatters has been able to keep the property running nearly all the time since the revolutions began, but after the Santo Isabel mas- sacree, he was forced to close. Six weeks ago he thought he would reopen, but the Washington authorities insisted that his American employes be kept out of Mexico. McQuatters obtained assurances from the de facto Government -which he con- sidered satisfactory, and, absolving the American Government of responsibility, decided to open the mines anyway. Then Washington refused to allow them to take arms and ammunition across the worder, and he seemed effectually stopped. Then came the conference be- tween Scott and Obregon, and after it was over, Washington still was ob- durate in the matter of arms, without which it would be impossible to go to the Parral country. McQuatters has ca succeeded in cbtaining the necessary weapons and cartridges from the Carranza officials in Juarez and when the party started this morning in special cars they were ready for any emergency. Besides McQuatters and Baskin, the others of the party were T. G. Hawkins, William Morrill, Roy C. Higley, A. H. Buick and W. R. Collins, all connected with the Alvardo Company; for the Agricola Company, T. G. McKenzie, gen- eral manager; A. C. Hobble, William Maxwell and Carl Gameringer, Edward C. Bryan, a representative of the Guad- alupe Mining Co., also accompanied the party. Bryan is a first cousin of the former Secretary of State. These men expect to go first to Chihua- hua City for a conference with the mili- tary authorities there, then they will proceed to Parral, unless forbidden. Parral is now considered the center of the anti-American propaganda, and the feeling there has been very strong since the fight in which the American soldiers were attacked in the city. The 12 who started today, the first to try to resume the operation of mines, are fully cogni- zant of the risk they rtn. Four Cavalry Troops Back in U. After Two Weeks’ Mexican Ex- pedition. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., May 23.—Col. Sibley reported to Major-General Fun- ston, last night, the return to the Amer- ican side of the border of the four troops of cavalgy that pursued for two weeks the Mexicans who raided Glenn Springs and Boquillas. The net result of the expedition was the resctie of Jesse Deemer and Monroe }° Payne and the capture of five bandits, all wounded, in operations covering 210 miles. The farthest point south reached by Maj. Langhorne’s men, who entered first ani who continued in the lead, is 168 mfles from the international boundary. None of the Americans was killed or wounded. The men are encamped at Deemer's, and when rested probably will rejoin their regiments on patrol duty. Two New Big Army Aeroplanes Ar- rive at Columbus. COLUMBUS, N. M., May 2.—Two néw 160-horsepower aeroplanes arrived here today and military aviators began pre- paring them for field service. Eighteen cars of food and forage shipped over the Mexican & Northwest- ern Railroad, reached the American command at Casas Grande yesterday, according to reports here. This, taken with the dispatch of an engineer com- pany to repair roads below Colonia | Dublan, was taken here as supporting ‘the contention that: for the present no general withdrawal of the expeditionary command is contemplated.

WAS DUE TO AN ERROR Working Men Generally Believed to Look Upon Demonstra- tion Favorably. Inquiry by a Post-Dispatch reporter today regarding the attitude of organ- ized labor toward the preparedness pa- rade scheduled for June 3, disclosed that while many of the leaders of labor or- ganizations are friendly toward the demonstration, they have been wonder- ing why their organizations have not been asked to participate in the parade. Tt was found that the committee in charge of the general meeting to be held at the St. Louis Club tonight had failed to send invitations to labor or- ganizations because of an error in mail- ing lists. As a result of the Post-Dispatch in- quiry, Horace D. Johns, secretary of the St. Louis branch of the National Secur- ity League, communicated with a num- ber of the labor leaders by telephone, explained the mistake and received as- Surances that the labor organizations probably would be able to send repre- sentatives to the meeting tonight. Charlies Hertenstein, president of the St. Louis Typographical Union, No. 8, said that in the absence of an invitation he could not tell what the members of the union might do, but he said that he intended to march in the parade, as he believed in national preparedness and he believed that most of the members of labor organization felt the same way, with the possible exception of the mem- bers who are radical Socialists. Leaders Favor Preparedness. L. H. Proske, secretary of the District Council of Carpenters, embracing all the St. Louis locals, said that he believed in the idea expressed by the parade in New York and the parade planned for St. Louis and other cities. He also said he could not speak for his organization until some sort of an invitation to join in the parade had been received. Joseph Hauser, president of the Cen- tral Trades and Labor Union and sec- retary of the Brewers and Malsters Cnion, Which alone comprises about 60,000 workers, said that he knew nothing of the parade except what he had read in newspapers. He said that, personally, he believed in a nation being prepared for any emergency. He added.that if an invitation was received by the brewery workers to par- ticipate in the parade that the matter would be considered at once by the 150 delegates representing the 60,000 workers, but that he would be unwilling to make any statement as to the probable action of the delegates. Invitation Is Received. Maurice J. Cassidy, secretary of the Building Trades Council, said that he had just received an invitation by tele- phone to have repres:ntatives of the council attend the conference at the St. Louis Club tonight. He said that it ap- peared to him that the parade repre- sented a good national plan, but what action might be taken by the council a3 to being represented at the conference or taking part in the parade would de- pend upon his conzultation wtih other labor leaders later in the day. David Kreyling, secretary of the Cen- tral Trades and Labor Union, said that he could not discuss any possible action by the union until. some invitation had been received and acted upon. Representatives of about 50 civic or- ganizations have -:.ccepted invitations to send representatives to the informal discussion of parade plans tonight. In- vitations were sent to 127 organizations Way Swind |IN PREPAREDNESS ‘wanted to see me before he bought the Twill go to Labor Temple and extend OO EAA PON ie BA PO» eh a ne BO DIR SE te IE st ARNE, RE EO AE EN ers Got ‘His ‘$10,000 Makes Him Laugh John R. Harris, Mulcted in Fake Horse Race, Says Confidence Men Were Pretty Slick to Get an “Old Coon” Like Him. John R, Harris, & years old, of} 5033 Wells avenue, today told a report- er for the Post-Dispatch how he lost $10,000 to three confidence men in East St. Louis yesterday on a fake horse race he had been led to believe was fixed, so that she could not lose his money, a swindle exposed many times in the newspapers. With his wife standing near by, lis- tening to the tale, Harris sat in the parlor of his home, his legs crossed and swinging one foot in such manner as to display half the length of a cowhide boot. He smiled and chuckled frequently as he told how it happened. “I was called over to East 8t. Louis last week by a man who said his name was Monroe and who was negotiating with me as the agent for another man for the purchase of a piece of property I own on “Taylor avenue,” he narrated. “His client was sick, Lewis said, and property. “Monroe took me to a hotel, where I saw the prospective purchaser. He was a little shriveled-up old man and was in bed with his overcoat and boots on. After a short talk he told me the prop- erty was satisfactory and agreed to pay $10,000 for it. He gave me $1000 as earnest money. Had “a “Monroe and I -then pny nh to get a drink and look around and he told me he knew where we could pick up some easy money by making a big bet or, a fixed horse race. There was a man ir. town, he said, who was giving in- formation on the fixed races for a com- mission of one-third of the winnings. ‘“‘We went to a poolroom on Collinsville avenue and there Munroe introduced me to @ man named Lewis. He whispered to me that this was the man who gave the information. Lewis was well- dressed, wore lots of diamonds and had lots of money. “The three of us went to the Iilmo cashed a draft for $20,000. The money was wired to him from Loulsvilie, he told me. Put Up $10,000 Check, “We made the bet, Lewis putting up cash and me putting up my check for $10,000. The check wasn’t signed, but Lewis said it was all right. “Yesterday when I went over to co.- lect, Lewis said we had won the bet, but told me I would have to go out and cash my check and bring the money to him so he could show the bookmak - er I actually had the cash to make good the bet if we had . lost. “IT hustled out and cashed the check and brought the money back. Lewis left me to collect our winnings. .Pretty soon Monroe left the room and after I waited for them to return for about 15 minutes I got suspicious, and went out to hunt for them. I guess I got excited when I discovered they were gone with my money.”’ Harris chuckled in concluding his story of the swindle, as he said: ‘“‘They’re pretty slick to get the best of an old coon like me.”’ The dupe of the confidence men, al- though owning considerable property in St. Louis, has lived a great part of his life on a farm. He has been in St. Louis about four years, and had his residence here once before, many years ago. He has several grown children. Harris declined to say how he raised the money he wagered on the confidence game, but said he had plenty more and would “continue to eat regularly.” and the committee believes that many will send representatives without send- ing a formal acceptance. Selden P w~pencer, Richard McCulloch and Sam McPheeters, president of the Police Board, have been selected as a committee to look after police arfd street car arrangements for the parade. The committee has canceled an _ ad- dress to have been given at Central High School by George 8. Johns, be- cause there has not been sufficient time to make advance announcements of the meeting. During next week several speakers will address the pupils of the high schools at the morning assembly. East St. Louis to Have Independent Preparedness Parade. Mayor Mollman of East St. Louis last night appointed a committee of five Councilmen to arrange for a “Preparedness Day” parade on June 3. He will proclaim a half-holiday in order that all employes of manu- facturing plants who.so desire may join in the parade. The Mayor said he believed 15,000 persons would march in such a parade. The members o* the committee are Councilmen Minette, Fletcher, Fow- ler, Cunningham and Bfschofgf. The school authorities will be asked to let all the school children, who wish, to participate. All women’s clubs in the city "will be invited to participate. Congressman Rodenberg will be asked to get some regular United States troops. Civil and Spanish War veterans already have volunteered to participate, and the Boy Scouts will bo invited. The committee tonight ar invitation to all labor unions to attend in a body.

LEAL ALLO ADI OA RMANY FALED SINN FEIN REBELS AT LAST MOMENT Authorities Give Inside Story of Irish Revolt, and Events Leading to It. -~AID AMERICANS GAVE Boy-Ed and Von Papen Assisted Men Here to Take Funds Over Ocean. Correspondence of the Associated Press. LONDON, May 9.—This is the his- tory as told by the aythorities here of the widespread plot which resulted in the ill-fated uprising in Ireland which plunged the Emerald Isle for a period into a reign of bloodshed and destruction. It is a story to the offect that the Sinn Fein organization was used as a pawn in the game rlayed by Berlin and certain Germans and revolutionists in America, and how the failure of the revolt was made doubly sure by the inability or disinclination on the part of Germany to carry out important features of the plan at almost the last moment. The facts given here have. been = given frcm authentic British sources and are presented as completely as pos- sible under the censorship. The plot had its inception shortly after the beginning of the war, when certain Irishmen and German author- ities conceived the idea of utilizing the Sinn Fein organization for a re- velt—the Germans being actuated, of course, by the admittedly legiti- mate purpose of weakening Great Britain. Victims of Scheme. At that time, the Sinn Feiners, who really had organized because of jeal- ousy of Nationalist volunteers, prob- ably had no definite idea of starting a revolt. They accepted the plan, hewever, and eventually fell victims to a scheme which was not of their own making. The name Of Sir appears prominently throughout the story. *He went from America to Christiania late in 1914, and conferred with the German Consul and. then proceeded direct to Germany with his Norwegian servant. Coincident with his arrival in Berlin, certain officials placed their influence and guarantee of assistance back of an Irish rebel- lion. It was thought at that time that a revolution could be made suc- cessful and elaborate plans for fur- thering»the movement were put under way. According to this account, Ger- many agreed to furnish money, arms and men to assist the Sinn Feiners, and, most important of all, is said to have agreed: to an invasion of. En- gland, which would -prevent soldiers being sent into Ireland Ly the British War Department. America was made the medium of communication between Berlin and I:eland. Certain Irishmen in the United States and Capts. Boy-Ed and Ven Papen re said to have done their part in furthering the plans. The carrying of funds and informa- tion to the Sinn Feiners was done largely by Irish ,sympathizers' in An.erica, who were able to visit their hume land without question. Shortly after Casement’s arrival jn Germany he published charges that the British Minister at Christiania had tried to have him assassinated. His accusations against the British minister are now said to have been the initial step in a publicity cam- paign to gain sympathy.., Sir Roger was next reported going about the prison camps trying to re- cruit Irish soldiers to fight against En- giand. He is said to have obtained few acceptances, but some men agreed to his proposition and were immediate- ly given their freedom and furnisneu with the green uniform of the Sinn Feiners. This recruiting and somewhat haphazard plotting went on until No- vember, 1915. Then there was a lull in proceedings. : The truth appears to be that. the revolutionary wind which had blown so hot from Berlin at first was then get- ting cool. The Germans had grown tiréd of Casement. Casement himself retired-to Munich, where it was report ed he was in poor health. After a con- siderable spell of comparative inuctiv- ity, those persons in the United States who were taking a part in the engincer- ing of the revolution became weary of waiting for developments and sent a man to see Casement. He brought word that a definite date for the uprising must be set. This was agreed to and either Easter Sunday or Easter Mon- day wags fixed upon. Roger Casement As the time drew near it was seen hat a revolution could not be maa @ success, and the idea of an i:vasion was virtually discarded. This fact was not known tv the Sinn Feiners until al- most the moment before the fight‘: started. liowever, certain Perlin ofii- clals .had, given their word to assist the movement, and Jecided to satisfy the obligation ag far as possible with- out heavy loss of life or war material. Ship Is Dispatched, Easter approached and it was pro- posed to dispatch a ship to Ireland with arms and those Irish soldiers who had agreed to fight: A naval attack on the east coast of England and air raids alsu were settled upon to divert the attention of the British authorities from Ireland. The ship, with some 2,000 arms, did start from Kiel for Tralee, on the west- ern coast of Ireland, but it was manned by a German crew and did not carry the Irish recruits. When Sir Roger found that the plan for an invasion of Engiand had fallen through he refused to let his followers embark, declaring that it would be sheer murder. He did agree to go himself, and departed on the submarine. | . The fate of the ship of arms and of asement has been told. Sir Roger and his associates fell into the hands of the British at Tralee and the ship was = oe, - OL on the British coast were carried out, but the Sipn Feiners found themselves espousing a hopeless cause. Viscount Says He Warned Birrell of Irish Outbreak. LONDON, May 23.—At the continua- ‘tion yesterday of ‘the Royal Commis- sion’s inquiry into the Irish revolt, Vis- count Middleton described the action which he said he had taken to bring the activities of the Sinn Fein to the attention of the Irish authorities before the outbreak, He «aid he had conferred with Augus- tine Birrell, then Chief Secretary for Ireland, and had urged that the na- tional volunteers be disarmed. Birrell had said, in effect, declared the wit- ness, that the movement was one to be laughed at, not one to be taken seriously, and that to proclaim them an ilegal body and put them down by force would be a reckless, foolish act, and promote disloyalty to a prodigious extent. Lord Winborne, who resigned as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland after the revolt, caused a stir in the room when he tes- tified that the Admiral at Queenstown had received information-that Sir Roger Casement had departed from Germany and that his ship, accompanied by two two submarines, might be expected off the Irish coast about Easter Sunday. That information, he said, had not been communicated to the Irish Government. Birrell Is Recalled. Preceding Viscount Middleton, Bir- rell was recalled, a difference of opin- ion having arisen between himself and the War Office as to what had hap- pened during the conferences mentioned by the former Chief Secretary for Ire- land in his testimony last week. A let- ter written by Major-General Macready of the Adjutant-General’s staff of tne War Department at the request of Field War, was read in which Gen. Macready said the conference of March B®, at which Birrell, according to his testi- mony, had asked for more troops to be sent to Ireland had reference to the state of recruiting in Ireland and that the proposal was that troops should be sent to various parts of Ireland to en- courage men to join the colors. “So far as we are aware,” said Gen. Macready’s letter, “there was no ques- tion of sending troops for the purpose of overawing the Sinn Feiners. Gen. Friend, the commander of the forces in Ireland, the letter continued, had reported the possibility of trouble in South Ireland and suggested that he would need more troops. As a result, arrangements were made for a reserve battalion to be sent if it was required. Birrell, in rep'y, said he was sur- prised to hear that he had omitted to mention at the conference the necessity of sending troops to Dublin. He cer- tainly had done so, he declared, in in- terviews with Gens. French and Friend. Had Warned Others. Viscount Middleton, continuing, gave further testimony regarding warnings he declared he had given Baron Wim- borne, then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; the Marquis of Lansdowne and others of the impending danger. The witness said he had told Sir Matthew Nathan, then Under-Secretary for Ireland, that John Redmond, whose advice the Gov- ernment had taken, wou:d hardly carry a single soat in Munster should there be an election. Six days before the out- break occurred, the witness ceaid, he again warned Baron Wimborne, of the results that would follow if no action were taken. Baron Wimborne was then called and said that since the Chief Secretary for Ireland had dislod~ed the Lord Lieu- tenant in the Cabinet, the Lord Lieu- tenant’s powers ..ad been entirely usurped by the Chief Secretary and the Under-Secretary.

NF 1 F * By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 23.—Herschell T. Amith of Fulton, Ky., is the only man delegate to the thirteenth biennial con- vention of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, day. “Spell tt S-m-1-t-h without any frills,” said Smith to a reporter in his room in the Hotel Astor. “And don’t think I'm not going to attend each and every meeting, because I am, and that I am not going to be present at each and ev- ery luncheon, because I am cut on luncheon lines.’’ ‘ ’ Smith is a delegate as alternate for Mrs. Smith. When Smith registered at the Astor ’\ he created a sensation among the wom- en by announcing that he came as a delegate. And after conferences with high executives and a study of by-laws there was a second and more violent flutter, because it was found there is nothing on the books to stop a man from being a delezate. Cheered by Women. Some of the women cheered when Smith finally walked off with his blue alternate’s ticket in his waistcoat pocket. After receivinc his credentials, Smith said: “Uncle Herschell never atended a meeting yet he didn’t improve. He is a lawyer and if any of our clubs down home in Fulton ever get into any trou- ble they always go to Uncle Herschel! to get them out, and he always does. He is guardian of all the clubs at home When they learned that he was to be an alternate, the women on the Kentucky Special named him the ‘Federated Hus- band.’ ‘“‘When I went to register,”’ continued Smith, ‘‘the women scrutinized me— looked me over very carefully. After I wrote my name they went over and looked in a big book and seemed to find 1 was all right. Then they handed mea big pile of literature and told me to read it all, but not to lose a single piece of it. “I was about to walk off with the lit- erature when they stopped me to say there was going to be a luncheon of the Kentucky delegation, and handed me a which opened here to- ~ Lit of paper. They said, ‘Are you go- ing?’ and I said, ‘Luncheons are where T shine,’ and I put down the literature to look for my glasses. “When I reached for the literature again a woman grabbed it away from me and said, ‘Hands off! No man can touch that.’ I said, ‘But I am a dele- gate!’ She said, ‘No man can be a del- cgate to this convention.’ ‘Finally she told me to wait there and she hurried away—to see the presi- gent, I guess. Before long she came back and told me that she had found it was all right. Some of the women cheered. They said it was a fine thing. I think it is myself.” The busiest of the several thousand women at the convention are the rival candidates for the presidency, Mrs. Samuel Sneath of Tiffin, O., and Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles of Los Angeles, Cal., and their campaign workers. The election will take place May 31 and the Celegates from Ohio and California will devote the next week to active elec- tioneering. Judging from the claims of the rival delegations, the contest for the presi- dency will line up the East against the West. Mrs. Sneath’s friends say they are sure of most of the Middle Western and Southern states, while all the Pa- cific Coast and Rocky Mountain dele- gations are claimed by the followers of Mrs. Cowles. The Atlantic Coast dele- gations have not declared themselves, and their votes probably will decide the contest. aa Both Are Suffragists. Both candidates are suffragists and Mrs. Sneath is vice president of the Suffrage Association of Ohio. Peace and preparedness issues may figure in the campaign for the presidency and come before the convention in resolu- tions. Mrs. Cowles is chairman of the Peace Committee of the federation and has been active in spreading pacificist lit- erature throughout the country. Mrs. Sneath is said to be more inclined to- ward preparedness. Committee conferences occupied this morning. At noon the board of direc- tors, the state presidents and repre- sentatives of the local board attended a breakfast at the Essex County Coun- try Club at East Orange, N. J. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas A. Edison gave a re- ception for the delegates at their home in West Orange, N. J., and later the visiting clubwomen will be entertained at the house of the Women’s Club of Orange. The delegates, alternates and visitors to the convention number about 20,000. More than 2,500,000 clubwomen from ev- ery State and Alaska, Hawaii, the Phil- ippine Islands, Cuba and Porto Rico are represented. Wedding and Graduation Gifts.

We are in close proximity to magni- ficent coal flelds that ought to give us the cheapest coal in the world, but we cannot compete with East St. Louis because railroads have stuck a 20-cent-a-ton arbitrary on coal for us, “Instead of complaining of mis- treatment by the public and by city officials, these men could make St. Louis a great factory city, and could make money for these companies, if they would loosen up and fix the proper prices for electricity, gas and coal.” Schwartz is the chairman of the alder-. manic committee investigating the fea- sibility of a municipal electric light plant, and had Wade before the commit- tee as A witness to determine what in- terest the North American, of which he Union : jis a director, holds in the Union Electric, United Railways and Keokuk Dam.

Ry ee ‘ NER SO PER Sainte * . 4 Saar = os a ’ ‘ a Ta Shae Von Meyer Statément Taken as _ Paving Way for Acceptance of Républican Nominee. NEW YORK, May 23..—The New York Sun, today, prints the following: “Republican leaders who were askei yesterday for their opinion of the state- ment issued by George Von L.. Meyér and his associates anhouncing their in- tention ‘to crystallize the demands among Republican votérs for the nom- ination of Theodore Roosevelt by a re- united Republican party for the presi- déncy,’ said they regarded it as an ac- knowledgment of the «defeat of all the efforts the Progressives have been mak- ing for months tO get the Republican party to accept Mr. Roosevelt as a can- didate. “This é¢ffort of a ‘committee of Re- fublicans’ was intérpréted as inspired by Col. Roosevelt to pave the way for his acceptance of whatever candidate the Republicans nominate, and for his refusal to let the Progressives nom- inate him.as their. candidate in the event, now régardéd as cértain by these leaders, that some one else gets the Republican nomination. “According to this view the crystal- lization ‘of all the sentiment in the Re- publican party for the nomination of Col. Roosevelt will résult in about 60 votes in the convention, less than many of the ‘favorite sons’ now have, and the passing over of the Colonel just as others even stronger than he in their command of votes will be passed over. “The Colonel, according to this view, having had his day in court, having had fair trial of his strength with the party’s accredited representatives ani finding that he is not the man wanted, will accept the verdict, as a brave man and gallant gentleman should and de- Clare himsélf for the successful con- testant. “Such an attitude on his part, it was said, will mean certain victory for the Republican ticket, and will make the Colonel a bigger figure in the Republican party four years hence than he is today er can hope to be up io the time the convention adjourns. “As for the possibility that the Prv- sressives might nominate a candidate other than Roosevelt on a third ticket anyway, that eventuality is regarded with not the slightést concern. In the cpinion of organization Republicans no candidate other than Col. Roosevelt run- ning on a third ticket could poll enough votes to make any difference in the re- sult as between Wilson and the Repub- lican nominee. “Analysis of the list of committeemen who are about to crystallize Roosévelt sentiment in the. Republican party does not convince the organization Republic- ans here that the new. movement '!s fraught with great possibilities. As near as could be figured. out yesterday. there were three delegates to the Republican rational convention in the list of signer. “Winfield Cosart. the negro delegate from Atlantic City, N. J., is-one of them and W. A. Lord of East Orange, N. J., is another. H..T. Stanton of Grand Rapids, Mich., is the third.

The ‘‘Midget Marvel,” a condensed fiour mill, that by means of the small roller process system can manufacture better flour at less cost than an old- fashioned roller mill, is being introduced into this country by L. Freeman Little of Owensboro, Ky. Little, while tour- ing Europe, six years ago, was im- pressed with the success of the little mills and secured exclusive rights for their manufacture in“the United States. It is said that it is possible with this process to obtain from the wheat berry the finest possible quality of flour, ‘to- gether with an increased quantity per berry. The “Midget Marvel,” it is claimed, can pack flour in three-quar- ters of a minute. The big mills take on an average of 45 minutes for the same process. The mills come in sizes with a capacity of 12%, 2%, 3 and 75 barrels daily. Oldeat Weat Poiat Graduate Ia &9.

Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. “They're trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.” This was the amazing reply of Fred D. Gardner, candidate for Governor, to the dis- closure of the fact, which had already been con- fessed, that the company of which he is head end owner has been carrying on the grewsome practice of shipping whisky in coffins into pro- hibition territory. This loathsome custom may appeal to him as a “mole hill,” but I have an idea that most right-thinking people will con- sider it mountainous in its outrageous violation of law and sentiment. His campaign managers have called it “a min- strel joke,” and the newspapers which have been subsidized by his advertising contracts have Joined in the cry. The bootlegger, caught with the goods on his black mission of peddling mis- ery and crime, would doubtless be glad to excuse himself in the same way, but the convictions of henest men everywhere damn him as guilty of a serious assault on the rules of the social order. Will the people of Missouri, honest, law abid- ing and God fearing as they are, care to entrust the enforcement of the liquor laws, or any laws, of this State to the hands of one who thus con- nives to violate the same laws in other states and at home? This is no time for the people to permit trifling with a serious problem of reform. If Fred D. Gardner has not the grace to withdraw from the race, we shall confidently trust the honest and upright electorate of this great State to play the manly part. ELMER T. CLARK, Shaw Avenue Methodist Church. Our City Water. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I observe that the discovery(?) has been made that the water furnished by this city kills gold fish. I wonder that this has not been ascertained before, as I am satisfied from my rat limited study of conditions and my practice here, that the water furnished for drinking purposes here will kill not only gold fish, but many other forms of animal life and some forms of vegetable life, besides being very detrimental to human health. I observed from the first the pronounced ev alence of diseases of the secretive glands, goiter, cetarrhal trouble, etc. and the many ailments more or less dangerous which follow in their wake. I have also experienced the disappoint- ment of having various ferns die for me from watering them with the city drinking water and have heard a number of other persons complain of the same trouble. If it is true, as I understand, that there is used in the settling of the drinking water in this city, a mixture of alum, lime, tron and some copperas, I think it is not necessary to seek any further for the cause of these troubles. In my opinion, it is little short of criminal to feed the people such stuff for drinking purposes. The kind of preparedness that this city needs is the same kind that the country needs, i. e, a healthy, prosperous and happy common people. Let us begin by making them healthy. WM. FARNSWORTH, M. D. Harden's Defense of Wilson. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Our President said recently: “Here is the world humanity has made; are you ready to take full citizenship in it?” ‘ Far across the seas, amidst a raging inferno— a maelstrom of passion, hate and fear—-a man has rosponded. Against an overwhelming public sen- -timent he has fearlessly and courageously upheld the fundamental! principles of right as interpreted by another man—a man, as he has rightfully termed him, “of high moral ideals.” He hae had the strength and courage to uphold his convic- tions. He has appealed to reason; he has viewed the situation calmly, without fear or prejudice, and hes rendered his decision to mankind—at the risk of incurring the displeasure of his Emperor end the ‘vrath of his countrymen. What a deep source of gratification it must be to us Americans to see. a man of foreign birth mercilessly score the political malcontents and malignant traducers who would trample our chief What pride must be ours to know that his heart beats with gurs in @ warm tribute to our nation’s chief! Can the stanchest adherents of partisanism, the man who has striven against overwhelming odds—odds more indicate—to the peace ahd honor of a nation, tead the m deep joy the President must feel at the hi ole-hearted tribute this noble Teuton haa be- LL I ET LE ART ALTE A et Ae EER eee eee Conditions in the national guard forces of Texas and New Mexico, which have been called to serv- ice on the Mexican border offer a striking object lesson on the subject of military preparedness. One hundred and sixteen enlisted men of the Texas National Guard have refused to obey the éojcall for service. They face courtmartial, but a majority of the court will be composed of militia- men and the probability of severe discipline is small. Many of the militiamen who responded to the call are physically unfit for service. While the standard adopted by Texas is the same as the standard for the Federal army, the examinations are easy and the regulations lax. Undoubtedly many of the men will prove to be only half trained under the fast and loose methods of state control. . in the New Mexico contingent the excuse of- fered for relieving three companies from service is that 25 per cent of the men cannot speak En- glish. The national guard ought to be maintained for State and Federal reserve purposes; it ought to be strengthened and raised to a high state of ef- ficiency, but experience has proved that it is not ja dependable force for use in national emergen- cies. With rare exceptions it is never ready for actual service. Division of control between State and Federal authorities is fatal to high standards of efficiency and to discipline. The forces upon which the na- tion must depend for defense should be under na- tional control at every point. They should be trained and equipped for emergency service and | subject wholly to Federal discipline. New York is trying an interesting law, provid- ing for compulsory militia training and service, which sets an example to the other states and the Federal Government. Able-bodied citizens be- tween 18 and 45 are to be registered for enlist- ment. Youths from 16 to 19 must have at least three hours a week of military training. Militia service is obligatory for completing the State's quota of men for the national guard. Obligatory military training is not new in Amer- In the early days of the Repub- required to muster and drill. ican experience. lic citizens were The requirements were slight for the demands of modern war, but the principle of obligation to serve the country was recognized. This principle ought to be recognized now. Every able-bodied citizen should be prepared to serve his country and obliged to serve it when it is threatened by a foreign foe. = = — | SS The zinc product now leads copper in value. A big boost for Missouri. = = BIG INCOME TAX INOREASE. Returns from the income tax this year indicate that the total revenue from this source will reach $120,000,000, as compared with $85,000,000 last year. This total, which is to be attributed to augmented property rather than to greater effi- ciency in collecting the tax, is still $280,000,000 below that minimum of $400,000,000 which Basel M. Manly, late attache of the Industrial Relations Commission, says it should yield. But an increase of $35,000,000, or 40 per cent, will do its part toward lessening Treasury stringency due to preparedness plans, and a 40 per cent boost in the total every year would bring it to Mr. Manly’s figures soon after the close of Mr. Wilson’s second term. = = = — Se WASH UP THE ELEPHANT. The clean-up campaign must include the ele-} phant. Municipal ownership of an elephant in- volves the duty of washing it, and our elephant is a sight. Jim has so much soil on her back that you could plant flowers in it and use her for a perambulating garden. When she scratches her hind quarters against a tree the effect is like a sandstorm blowing from the San Anton pass. Jim is a fertile subject and we could write a vol- ume on her unwashed state. Not only for the sake of our Democratic con- vention visitors, but out of respect for the Re- publican party, whose symbol she is, we ought to clean up Jim. Furthermore the public and the lit- tle children who paid for her have never had a good look at her, so deeply incrusted she is be- neath the soil of centuries. Let’s turp the hose on her for a couple of days and see what she really looks like. i, Ae ie —_— a Waterloo, Liaoyang, Borodino, the Wilderness, are no longer worth mentioning. The greatest battle, in the greatest war, is Verdun. - = = THE CAVALRY DASH TO THE TIGRIS. Whatever the route by which they passed and whatever the adventures they encountered, the mounted force of Russians which penetrated from Persia to the so-called “relieving” British army on the Tigris were the first to renew in this con- flict the cavalry traditions of former wars. The capable Stuart galloped rings around the entire Federal Afmy of the Potomac in 1862. Bu- ford’s small mounted detachment, holding back attack until help came, determined that the high- tide battle of the Confederacy should be fought at Gettysburg. Stoneman’s two daring cavalry raids from Tennessee into Southwestern Virginia inflicted severe blows on the enemy and shook his confidence. Sheridan's several long-distance expeditions, particularly the one toward Rich- mond from the West in the closing weeks of the Civil War, are textbook illustrations of the use- fulness of cavalry under former conditions of war- fare. , Perhaps the exploit in our war which most nearly resembles that of the gallant Russians was the exploit of an intrepid cavalry command that started in the border states of the West and, fighting and dodging enemy detachments and exposed hourly to danger, made its way through hundreds of miles of hostile territory until] suc- cessful in joining iteelf to friendly forces estab- of New Orleans. Perhaps this wild ride-from Persia to the middle reaches of the Tigris is not the only brilliant con- tribution made by cavalry to late events in Asia. But the main fighting ground in Europe has been sadly deficient in dashing cavalry opportunities. The Centaur is hopelessly handicapped in trenches and dugouts. So large a mark as a mounted man is peculiarly vulnerable before a machine gun raining from 500 to 1000 missiles a minute. = = Ve er The revelation that small American flags are made only in Germany is something of a jolt for Uncle Sam. = |] * a SUPPRESSING FREE SPEECH. | The folly of suppressing free speech on ac- count of a difference of opinion is well illustrated in the case of Mrs. Margaret Sanger, whose ad- dress on birth control was shut out of the Vic- toria theater. It is a phase of intolerance which always reacts on the persecutor. The effort to suppress Mrs. Sanger has ad- vertised her propaganda, piqued public curiosity, aroused popular interest and gained support from many who otherwise might be indifferent to her propaganda. If Mrs. Sanger were locked out of every theater and hall in town her propa- ganda would spread underground where the op- ponents would be unable to meet and combat it. If she violates law the law will deal with her. If she teaches error her teaching will fail. If she teaches truth which appeals to the heart and consciences of men, suppressive measures are vain. We commend to her opponents the wise sayings of Jefferson: “Error of opinion may de tolerated when reason is left free to combat it.” Truth is the proper and sufficient antagonist to “error.” = = _-— -—- “The odious English name of cricket has been changed in Germany to Dreistaebeneinrichtung. This is not simplified spelling. It is patriotism. = = ‘‘ANTIQUATED.’’ Mr. Ford’s adjective, “antiquated,” as applied to Mr. Roosevelt, has a flavor about it that will be recognized as curiously appropriate. The Colonel during his entire political career has given evidence of the tremendous impression Mr. Hanna and the Hanna political methods made on him. Ingenuous and quaint at this time in the twentieth century appears his implicit con- fidence in the power of organization and particu- larly huge campaign funds, his dependence on strong-arm technique, his incessant resort to speadeagleism and buncombe of decidedly old- fashioned quality. His distinctive campaign tactics are passing— belong to an out-of-date regime. Advance is swift at this time. The country has progressed beyond Rooseveltism. &¢¢¢--—--- -——_- The aspiring statesmen who are considering their chances in the national conventions cannot all have first place. They should remember that five vice presidents have become President. > > — WORKMEN’S COMPENSATION CONFERENCE. With the organization of a Missouri Work- men’s Compensation Conference, as reported in Sunday’s Post-Dispatch, a good beginning was made in the necessary work for the passage of e compensation law at the session of the State Legislature which meets January next. A great deal of work will have to be done, in the way of educating the parties concerned and bringing them into agreement. The St. Louis Bar Asso- clation, which is interested in the passage of a good law, is collecting and printing a number of circulars, giving information as to the passage and working of compensation laws in other states. These can be nad on application to the association. It is hardly to be expected that much intelli- gent opposition will be met with in the passage of a law carefully constructed and fair ta em- ployers and employes. Since the bill introduced in 1913 was defeated, much progress has been made in the improvement of compensation laws, and such laws have gencrally given satisfaction. Employers who have hitherto been opposed to the principle of compensation will no doubt have noted the fact that, in the case of Mary Moent- mann, such a law would have saved the employ- ing company a good deal of money, both in the way of damages and lawyers’ bills. It may be said that this was an exceptional case. But pub- lic interest and sentiment are now thoroughly aroused. A good compensation law, besides be- ing fair to all concerned, will put an end to the mulcting of employers in heavy, punitive dam- ages, which will probably come to be the rule with juries if Missouri employers stand pat against compensation laws. —— — '-—- High prices and defective goods will not bring trade to any country afger the war—not even to the United States. = = ENOWING WHOM TO KISS. Coming out of church Sunday (according to our Tarrytown correspondent) Mr. John D. Rockefe}l- ler’s little grandson came running up to him with outstretched arms, declaring, “Grandpa, I’ve got a kiss for you!” Whereupon Mr. Rockefeller stooped and received the salute and gave the youngster a nickel and patted him on the head, with the approving comment: “This boy will know how to take care of himself in this world.” It fs a very important matter to the aspiring youth to know just whom to kiss. The difference between success and failure lies in kissing the right parties. Kissing the cheek of blindfolded justice, maybe kissing a grizzled Judge, kissing a State Legislature here and there, kissing a po- litical party, or both of them, kissing tariff revis- ion committees, Congressmen, bosses—such kisses have been known to pay. We hone the young man’s kisses will always prove genuine, and that he will never bestow a kiss for 30 pieces of silver. Passing the Word. From the Philadelphia Telegraph.

She hated him —and she covered her eyes with her hands and sobbed bitterly at the thought—because he had inspired her to drive from her side a true good man. “Oh, the sting of it—oh, the mean, cruel act!” she wailéd and sank to the ground not caring much what became of her.

It was to come up to a rude hut built of odds and ends of old boards, bark and logs. It had a mae dow. Helena staggered up to it. “It is he—oh, the cruel mockery of fate!’ she moaned. She clung to the window frame, half fainting. Then her senses reeled. Her shoulder bore a pane of glass inwards. A man reading at a rude table looked up—Rodney Preston. Then he rushed outside to catch {fn his arms the col- lapsing form of his strange visitor. he swayed into insensibility. She opened her eyes to find herself on a broad settee encased in warm coverings, a blazing fire in the rude fireplace, her rescuer pacing the floor to and fro in anxious perplexity. Never had he seemed so strong, so noble, so dignified.

T though not arranged in detail ty the bride, depends upon her wishes. In this way the frocks are in accord- ance with the bridal gown, both in style and elegance, though always dainty and airy. If the bridal gown should carry out some ‘“‘period’’ style, such as early Italian, Moyenage or Watteau—which is the liberty accorded this tmportant cre- ation—the bridemaids’ frocks should sug- gest the same influence. If the wedding gown is simple in design, with no real lace or other show of elegance, the bridemaids’ frocks should also be simple. A: bride usually has some color scheme she wizhes to carry out, and the bride- maids’ frocks aré important factors. While the desigr of them is usually the same, their color is often varied. If there are six bridemaids, each one may be dressed in a different hue, or two by two in different colors, or in different shades of one color. This idea of a bit of variation intro- duced in the bridal procession is espe- cially good for the wedding in a smail HE gowning of the bridemaid, | —— lla al aie aati ~~ -Bridemaid € | America’s supply of “unrivaled Mocha ie? et ye” a a) the * ¥ tae . - . * of”. .

Correlative with this tradition are many legends about the manner of its discovery, one of the most picturesque being that a flock of sheep, after browsing on the indigenous coffee shrub became unusu- ally frisky, as a result of the stimulant, and that this excitement was followed by sleepless nights. “The Mohammedans began to use ‘cof fee as an anti-soporific during their long religious vigils, a practice frowned upon by orthodox Mussulmans, who argued ‘that it savored of a form of intoxication. eet of character and nobleness, hovered now within her anguished mental vision. Three months agone they had been friends and he, a poor but promis- ing young lawyer, had made her proud of his company, for he was a favorite with everybody. When her father had introduced Gerald Morse there was no’| right on the part of Preston to resent it. What claim had he upon Helena? But when one day Morse had ‘almost ordered her to snub Preston, dazzled by the brilliancy of this new star, nettied because Preston had so. seemingly cc- cepted her action indifferently, Helena was influenced to award him a cold stare only. “I can make it up later,” she whispered anxiously to herself when she mourned for the ignoble act, but she had cut Rodney Preston to. the quick. Helena Defies Morse. E did not cross her path again. She learned that he had left the town. Then had come her pun- ‘ishment to learn the real sordid selfish- ness of Gerald Morse. Disgust had come for this frivolous fortune hunter. And now—hatred, she could not help it! It was just at dusk and she had en- dured the company of Morce in a: stroll along the river, morose, unsociable, un- happy. In her restless capriciousness she had declared for a row on the river. Gerald Morse had demurred. He had done more—he had insisted that she abandon her design. 5 “A storm is cOming up,”’ he said. “We will pass up the risk of a big blow on the treacherous Vermilion.” “Not I!” declared Helena with reso- lute lips and disdainful eyes, and. she deliberately proceeded to the light skiff moored near by. “My word!” uttered the daunted Morse as she set adrift with a con- temptuous toss of her head. “You'll have a master. I can tel! you, when you marry me!’ he shouted after strengthening cordial. She shrank from his frank but kind treatment. “You are safe here, Miss Waltham,”’ he spoke at last. “It may be an hour or two more, but I must get to the mainland and make some arrangement to take you back to your friends—for your sake.” She understood the rare delicacy of his words. She could have screamed outright from anguish as he strode from the hut—to swim to the mainland. No craft could be guided through those boiling waters. Within two hours Preston had re- turned. He wrapped his guest up care- fully in a great blanket. He carried her through the storm to the beach of the island. There was a boat, and reaching from a great tree to the main- land was a rope. And, holding to this, Preston dragged the tipping, tossing yawl across the rushing void. An old ferryman led her to a carriage in waiting. ‘You will come to me—oh, promise!” she pleaded, but Preston shook his head sadly. “Then I will go to him!” she whis- pered tumultuously to herself three days later; and she did.

Rodney Preston, who had sought the hermit life of the island to wear out his longing love, sat in front of his little hut one bright morning when Helena appeared. She spoke not a word at first. She clasped his hand, she sank to her knees and kissed it. He was mightily moved, but he was mute. Then she sobbed out her sorrow, her gratitude, and, too, her humiliation. She was free from her promise to the man who had shrunk from saving her at the cost of his own discomfiture and peril. “Oh, don't you understand!’”’ she cried— “don’t you understand!” and she lifted her pleading eyes to his own. And the light shone in upon his sou! at last, for in their glowing depths Rodney Preston read the fervor of an undying love.” (Copyright by W. G. Chapman.) her. When I do!” retorted Helena hotly, and she wrenched the engagement ring from her finger and scornfully cast it into the water. The blackness of dusk and storm overtook her where the stream was widest. Then there was chaos. She drifted, the oars were wrenched from her grasp. The frail bark struck a rock and collapsed like a cockle shell and she crept to shore drenched and blind- ed.

LOWERS blooming on icebergs would certainly be a rare sight, but persons traveling’ in the northern por- tions of the Pacific, and sometimes in the North atlantic, have witnessed this strange, but very beautiful, spectacle. It appears that some animals carry on their feet a growth of moss, which is deposited on the ice while it Is at- tached to the mainland far in the Polar regions. In time this decays and forms a shal- low soil, in which the seeds of butter- cups and dandelions often find a lodg- ing from currents of wind that doubt- less caught them up in some southern clime. These take root and bloom in profu- sion when the great gleaming iceberg floats out to sea and is carried south- ward, where the soft winds melt the surface and give the seeds and plants the moisture they need. Such floating flower gardens, with dazzling peaks of dark-green ice all about them, have been seen far from the home of the iceberg, which is near the Arctic Circle. Personnel of U. S.

> FALS TO HOLD EARLY ADVANGE Closing Is Irregular on Most of the Favorite Shares— Reading Is Active. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau NEW YORK, Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, says: . “Under the stimulus of the upward movement in Reading stock, which had s0 large a part in swinging sentiment towa the railway shares at the ex- se of speculative industrial issues, the advance in the railroad stocks con- tinued today, though the gains were less ane Ap and were accompanied by ntervals of irregularity and recession. “Reading itself, after having =per- formed its daily task of setting a new high record—this time shortly after the opening—subsided somewhat. The rapid- ity of the present advance in the rail- way shares led to a somewhat more utious and uncertain feeling today. [i: mid-afternoon there was a rather sharr break in prices, followed by an irregular recovery. ‘The munitions shares were more or less neglected and were inclined to work to lower levels. In the afternoon's ir- regular market the motor stocks caine into some prominence at advancing prices. | Foreign Exchange Market. “Business in exchange, being largely conducted between bankers, such day- 10-day fiuctuations as the market éxhib- its—aside from the larger movements that are easily traceable to basic condi- tions—apparently have no great present significance. Francs and marks were oenery unchanged today, and ster- ing varied only a small fracticn.
