NEW YORK, July 8.—Although this was the hottest day since the begin- ning of the epidemic of infantile paralysis two weeks ago, there were fewer fatalities from the dis- ease yesterday. During the 24 hours preceding 10 o'clock today the dis- ease killed 18 children in the Great- er City, 13 of this number dying in Brooklyn. Ninety-five new cases of the disease were reported in the five boroughs. During the week just ending there were IN deaths, 105 of this number in Brook- lyn.

Heavy rains are impeding the operations of both the French and the British. With the aid of wave after wave of infantry, the British army continues to make show progress in its effort to bring the front line between the Ancre and Montauban on a level with the French line further south, the French having pushed further ahead than their allies. This effort on the part of the British has led to the most furious fighting in which the British troops have been engaged. The flower of the German army has been brought for- ward to oppose them and guns and am- munition are being used lavishly. According to reports from Holland, Belgium has been denuded of German tillery and patrol activity on the re- mainder of the front was very lively lun places.

Rucker of the Federal Public Health Service, who reached New York today from Washington to participate in con- ferences here regarding means of pre- venting a general spread of the disease, Was in consultation with Health Com- missioner Emerson and other health of- ficials and experts. That not 50 of the cases reported to the health authorities as acute anterior poliomyletis, or infantile paralysis, are genuine is the statement made by Dr. Thomas Darlington, formerly President of the Board of Health. An urgent appeal for more doctors and nurses was made by the Brooklyn Health Department. The absence of many doctors on their vacations and with regiments at the border made it difficult, the department said, to get volunteers. “These inspectors from the public hospital service.“ said Dr. Haven Em- erson, the City Health Commissioner, ‘will not take over our administration. They are empowered to go anywhere and adopt any measures not allowed to the experts of our department. We can- not go beyond the city limits.” Dr. Emerson declared it would be impracticable to prevent parents and children from leaving the city even though they come from infected dis- tricts. No known cases may be moved, however, and none will be permitted to leave New York City, and all persons in contact with the disease must remain here. Doubt if Disease Will Spread. The health officials attach little significance thus far to reports of iso- lated cases in other parts of the coun- try outside New York State. Advices from other states, however, show that State and municipal health officers are on their guard and tak- ing precautions. The epidemic here has cast its shad- ow in many places. Children under 16 have been barred not only from moving picture shows, but from all the amuse- ments at Coney Island except those in the open air.

J., July 8—The man-eating shark which tore to deatu Charles Bruder, bellboy of the Essex and Sussex Hotel, has frightened thou- sands of summer residents from Atlan- tic Highlands to Point Pleasant and put a sudden check to surf bathing. The young man's tragic deatn, coupled with that of Charles E. Vansant under sim- ilar circumstances, a few days previ- ously at Beach Haven, 2 miles south of here, has caused a feeling that surf bathing under present conditions is a se- rious hazard. Mayor Oliver H. Brown, President of the Borough Council, in special confer- ence with Councilman D. H. Hill and others, arranged to take emergency measures today and later to combine with other towns in a genral plan of safety. Two motor boats were en- gaged and manned with men provided with rifles. These boats, with their ex- hausts open, began a patrol of the beach just outside the life lines to maintain their vigil during the official bathing hours. Bathers were warned that if they went in the water at any other time they would do so at their peril. ew went into the water,, and those who did kept inside the ropes. It is believd here sharks will not at- tack a bather if there is a commotion in the water outside the bathing line, or if several bathers are swimming in the immediate vicinity of each other. Both Vansant and Bruder were alone at the time of the attack. Dr. W. G. Schauffler, Surgeon-Gen- eral of the national Guard, who has Aa summer home here, said he examined the body of Bruder carefully 15 minutes after the dying man was taken from the sea by lifeguards. The doctor said that from his knowledge of sharks, he believed the big fish struck either three or four times in rapid succession. In order to strike he was forced to turn on his side, as his mouth is under the head and set low. The force of the first blow failed to drive Bruder under the water, but he was partiy submerged by the second. When the life savers reached him three minutes later his head was just above water and he was shrieking.

A War Office announcement issued this morning says: „A very heavy rain which. fell on the afternoon and evening of yester- day impeded operations and between the Ancre and the Somme the night was chiefly spent in improving the forward positions gained in yester- day's fighting. “In the neighborhood of Gomme- court we bombarded the enemy's trenches with field guns and trench mortars. „Near Neuville St. Vaast (in North- ern France, southwest of Lens) and north of Roclincourt the enemy showed some activity yesterday.” “He exploded a mine northeast of the former place without doing any damage to our line. The enemy also exploded a mie among the existing craters near the Hohenzollern redoubt without gaining any advantage. Northeast of Hulluch we sprang 4&4 mine to destroy a hostile gallery. “Despite unfavorable weather our aeroplanes rendered valuable service. In addition to active co-operation with the artillery and important re- connoissance work, they bombed «4 hostile aerodrome at Doual, complete- ly wrecking a hangar and doing other material damage. “In the last few days we captured 20 unt. 61 machine guns. a large number of automatic rifles, trench mortars, mine ‘firers,: canister throw- ers and rearchlights, and a mass of other war material not yet scheduled.” 20008 Yards of Trenches Taken.

ATTACK AGAINST PRINCE LEOPOLD Germans Also Claim to Have Gained Advantages South of Lutsk. RETIREMENT ON STYR Teutons Were Exposed to Double Outflanking Move- ment. BERLIN, via Loadon, July . — Heavy attacks by the Russians against German troops. of Prince Leopold in the Barno- vichi region have been repulsed with losses of thousands in dead to the at- tacking forces, according to today’s of- ficial War Office announcement. Russian assaults northwest of Buc- zacz in Galicia also were fruitless, and in Volyhnia the Germans gained advan- tages south of Lutsk. . The withdrawal of Teutonic lines along the bend of the Styr River in Vollynia, where the advanced posi- tions were exposed to pressure from notably superior hostile forces, was announced in the Austro-Hungarian report of July 7, received here today. The official statement says: Prisoners Reported Taken. “Russian front—In Bukowina in successful engagements our troops brought in 600 prisoners and four ma- chine guns. “In southeastern Galicia, between Delatyn and Sadzovka, a Russian at- tack in strong force was defeated by Alpine territorials. “Further north in the Kolki district the situation is unchanged, no import- ant events having ocurred, “Austro-Hungarian troops fighting along the bend of the Styr, oposed for four weeks past to hostile forces which have increased from three fold to five fold superiority, received yes- terday an order to withdraw their most advanced lines which were ex- posed to a ouble outflanking move- ment. Assiste by the cooperation of German troops west of Kolki and by the heroic action of the Polish Legion near Kaloda, the movement was exe- cuted undisturbed by the enemy. “Yesterday was quiet with the Aus- tro-Hungarian troops northeast of Bar- anovichi. The enemy there suffered ex- traordinary losses in attacks against po- sitions of the allies (Teutonic). Says Hospital Was Shelled. In the district of Ikva Springs, the enemy artillery shelled an Austro-Hun- garian field hospital, although it was most clearly marked as such. “If such breaches of the law of na- tions are repeated we shall direct our guns against the monastery of Novo- Poczayev, which has been spared most carefully during almost one year’s oc. cupation. “Italian front—In the Doberdo district artillery activity was revived east of Selz.- Infantry engagement also oc- curred in which our troops fully main- tained their positions. In the southern Sugana Valley Italian troops in strong force attacked our front between ~Cimudici and Monte Zebio. The enemy everywhere was repulsed, in some placesc by hand-to-hand fight- ing.“ RUSSIA REPORTS CAPTURE OF TWO MORE VILLAGES Forces Advance in Region West of Czartorysk on the River Styr. PETROGRAD, via London, July . The Russian advance in the Czartorysk region, in which the attacking German troops were thrown back yesterday, has been pushed further. The War Office last night announced the capture of the Villages of Dolzyca and Cruziatyn. The number of German and Austrian prison- ors continues to increase. The announcement follows: “Our troops continue to develop their successes in the region west of the Czar- torysk sector on the River Styr. Fol- lowing the capture of the Village of Grady and after a hot bayonet en- counter, the village ot Gruziatyn were taken. The number of German and Aus- trian prisoners continues to increase. “On the front south of the Stokhod River the enémy is maintaining a very violent fire in numerous sectors. North of the lower Lipa, under cover of artil- lery fire, the enemy attempted to take the offensive in the region of Schkelln and Dubovya, but was repulsed. The ar- tillery fire continues, “On the Galician front there were artillery duels at many points. In the region east of Montasterzyska on the Koropiec River our troops continue to press back the enemy. West of the village of Sadzavki, east of Delatyn, we captured a position of the enemy and took some German prisoners. “Southwest of Lake Narocs (south of the Dvinsk) the Germans made a fierce counter-attack and reconquered part of the trenches they lost yester- day. The fighting continues. “On @ considerable part of the front between the Upper Nieman and -the Pinsk marshes there Were violent ar- tillery duels. East of Baranovichi in the region of the village of Odchoy- tchina the Germans pressed us back slightly as a result of a violent coun- ter-attack but our concentrated fire compelled the Germans to with- draw. In the Baranovichi region our machine guns engaged in duels with German machine guns in the course of several night attacks and reduced them to silence. In the recent fighting the machine runner, Aloda, particularly distin- guished himself. Although wounded in the head and bruised by splinters he did not desert his post and he in- j tlicted enormous losses on the enemy.” Announces THE NEW POLI OF ALIES ON SEA That Belligerent Rights Will Be Exercised in Accord With Law of Nations. “ORDERS IN COUNCIL 1916” All Made Under Declaration of London Since Beginning of War Are Withdrawn. ~ LONDON, July 8—In accordance with the recent decision of the Brit- ish Government to discontinue the partial enforcement of the Declaration on London, which has reference to the conduct of naval warfare, an order in council is published in the London Ga- zette, under which all orders made under the Declaration of London since the beginning of the war are withdrawn. The new order declares it to be the intention of Great Britain and her al- lies to exercise their belligerent rights at sea in strict accordance with the law of nations. On account of the changed conditions of commerce and the diversity of practice, doubts might arfse in certain matters as to the rules which the allies might regard as in conformity with the law of na- tions and it is ordered that the fol- lowing provisions be observed: 1. The hostile destination required for the condemnation of contraband articles shall be presumed to exist until the contrary is shown if the goods are consigned to or for an enemy authority or agent of an en- emy state or to or for a person in the territory belonging to or occupied by the enemy, or to or for a person who during the present hostilities has for- warded contraband goods to an enemy authority or agent of an enemy state or to or for a person in territory be- longing to or occupied by the enemy, or if the goods are consigned ‘to or- der’ or if the ship’s papers do not show who is the real consignee of the goods. Ultimate Destination. “2. The principle of continuous voyage or ultimate destination shall Le applicable both in cases of con- traband and blockade. 1 “3. A neutral vessel carrying con- traband with papers indicating a neu- tral destination which, notwithstand- ing the destination shown on the pa- pers, proceeds to an enemy port, shall be liable to capture and condemnation if she is encountered before the end of her next voyage. “4. A vessel carrying contraband shall be liable to capture and condem- nation if the contraband, reckoned either by value, weight, volume or freight, forms more than half the cargo.“ It is further ordered that nothing in the new régulations shall be deemed to affect the order in council of March 11, 1915, for further restricting the commerce of the enemy or any proclamations declaring articles to be contraband of war during the present hostilities; nor shall the new regula- tions affect the validity of anything done under the orders in council now withdrawn. img Prize Court Proceedings. Any cause or proceeding commenced in prize court before the making of the new order may, if the court thinks it just, be heard and decided under the orders withdrawn, so far as they were in force when such cause or proceed - ing was begun or would have been applicable in such cause or proceed- ing if the new order had not been made. The new order is cited as “maritime rights orders in council, 1916.” 13 Die in New York in 24 Hours From Infant Paralysis Continued From Page One, , the surface of the park playgrounds to make them as dustless as possible.

Six Cases of the Develop tn CLEVELAND, O., July 8.—One more with heavy loss from a torrent of FINAL DRIVE ON PERONNE, LINCOLN EYRE SAYS Big Siege Guns Are Advanced for Bombardment of German Third Lines—Airmen Harass the Enemy. | * — By LINCOLN EYRE. A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and the New York World. PARIS, July 8.—The strenuous activity of their aerial bombardments at sig- nificant points behind the German front, and the renewed thunder of their heavy batteries directed against the German third line defense from emplacements considerably in advance of their original artillery positions, is evidence that the French have not yet finished with the Germans on the Somme. To what extent the moving forward of the cumbersome siege guns to catch up with the four-mife advance of the in- fantry has progressed cannot of course be stated, but I am authorized to rec- ord the fact that not only all the field pleces, but many of the big caliber can- non as well are now in readiness to pul- verize the trenches between the French troops and Peronne whenever the high command gives the word. The shelling already under way is ex- tremely vigorous, though it has not reached the proportions attained during the preparatory bombardment in the last days of June. It is designed to im- pede the passage of the reinforcements being pushed to the Peronne front as fast as trains can carry them, harass the Germans in the third line trenches and act as a deterrent of counter-at- tacks. Airmen Are Assisting. The long range guns dropping destruc- tion into the German cantonments many miles behind the firing line, have been ably assisted by the airmen, who as a result of bomb dropping excursions against Ham-les-Moines, the most im- portant junction of the railroads serv- ing the Somme sector from the north- east, have forced the Germans entirely to rebuild the roadbed. , As Ham-les-Moines is only about eight miles from the great general staff's headquarters at Charleville, where the Kaiser is said to be stopping, the aircraft raids of Wednesday and Thursday afternoon are believed to have created moral as well as material havoc. A good sized convoy of Fokkers and Aviatiks guarding Charleville arose to attack the French battle planes con- voying the bigger bombing machines, and thereby lost at least two of their number without damaging the French equadron. So overwhelming was the effect of the French offensive that not until Wednes- day night did the Germans rally suf- ficiently to challenge the occupation of all their first and second line positions from Clery to Estrees, a distance of about six miles. A fresh division brought by rail from a reserve depot near siezieres, assisted by two weary regiments of the Six- teenth Silesian Corps, struck at the village of Hem, but succeeded merely in getting a temporary foothold in two small woods lying south of the road from Clery to Maricourt. The French general officer commanding in this re- gion slightly advanced his left wing and thus adroitly flung the Germans back shrapnel inundating them, and simul- taneously occupied another wood to the northeast of Hem.. German Charges Broken Up. Four further charges attempted by the Germans in the same sector Thurs- day morning and afternoon were brok- en up before the assaulting waves of the Somme, Gén. von Einem launched one attack against Belloy-En-Santerre Wednesday night and several bitter on- slaughts were made against Berney-En- Santerre, two miles southward, Thurs- day afternoon. Two companies of Bavarians were an- nihilated in the latter action, having braved the Seventy-five’s curtain of fire only to come under a concentric volley from a nest of French machine guns. It has been ascertained that along the 10 miles of front on which the French have been waging their offensive there were, on July 1, 27 German battalions and that since then four reserve divi- sions, or the equivalent of another 60 battalions, have been transported thith- er: Two of the fresh divisions have al- ready suffered severe losses in the cost- ly counter attacking recorded above. Of the French troops engaged I am permitted only to say that the Foreign Legion, which is one of several regi- ments comprised in the Moroccan divi- sions, has added to its many previous: distinctions an amazingly swift consoli- dation of the captured German positions in Asservielles, which its soliders accom- plished under a heavy fire in one night, and by the taking of Belloy-en-Santerre at the point of the bayonet the follow- ing morning. No authentic news has yet been re- ceived of any of the 30 Americans still in the Legion. The names of Gen, Bal- fourier, who commands the Iron Twen- tieth Corps, and Gen. Fayelle, command- ing the Moroccan division of the Coloni al Infantry, are becoming familiar everywhere in France. German officers captured before Ver- dun and at the Somme, meeting at the prison camp at Blank, exchanged the latest news regarding the activities of the different sectors. Bavarian Captain’s Story. A Bavarian Captain captured the French stormed Friese said: “The bombardment began June , and the attack was expected June 28. In- stead, however, the bombardment inten- sified and increased for three days more before the attack began. “At the apex of the cannonade it is estimated 900 shells per minute rained on the German positions. The constantly bursting shells caused such atmospheric concussions and detonations of the earth that officers and men were sick- ened and nauseated by the incessant trembling. During the three days prior tu the attack the Germans were listiess and apathetic, took no nourishment, but craved water, as all the communications were cut off and the pipe lines shat- tered. “When the French infantry finally started to charge and the bombardment stopped I telephoned to the rear for reinforcements, but the French barrier fire prevented the reserves debouching. We dragged a machine gun from a dug- out to a crater, but a French aviator signalled the batteries and a shell dropped among us. The next thing I knew I was a prisoner.”’ A German officer captured at Thiau- mont said: “I don’t know if the high command really expects to capture Verdun. I was the sole officer left of my original bat- talion. We had been sent to the rear five times for the ranks to be filled and then sent to the front again five times. The capture of Verdun would be unim- when reached the French barbed wire.

Department Awaits Advices Before Deciding How to Conduct Negotiations. QUICK ACTION News of Defeat of Carranza Force by Bandits Causes Some Concern. WASHINGTON, July 8—The Ameri- can note accepting the Carranza pro- . posal that differences between the two governments de settled by diplomatic means probably was in the hands of Gen Carranza today. It was delivered to Eliseo Arrendondo, Mexican Ambas- sudor-designate, yesterday by Secretary Lansing, just before the Secretary left for a 3-day vacation. Inception of diplomatic conversations await a suggestion from Gen. Carranza as to how they should progeed. State Department officials believe more can be accomplished through informal con- ferences between Arredondo and Frank L. Polk, acting Secretary of State, than by @ more formal change of views. They are willing to accede, however, to some other plan should the de facto Govern- ment propose it. Officials did not fail to note that Sec- retary Lansing, in his reply to Car- ranza, laid stress upon the desirability of giving quick and practical consid- eration to the immediate conditions along the border, which have been a geurce of controversy. The language of ce communication plainly intimates that a speedy solution of that problem will be sought, whatever time may be allowed afterward to find a means of aiding the de facto Government in re- storing normal economic conditions throughout Mexico. Text of Lansing’s Note. gecretary Lansing’s note, addressed to Arredondo, which was forwarded to his Government by the Ambassador desig- nate soon after it was handed to him yesterday, follows: “Bir: I have the honor to acknowl- edge the receipt of your communication of July 4, 1916, in which you transcribe a note addressed to me by the Secretary of Foreign Relations of your Govern- ment and to request to you that vou Will transmit to him the following te- piy: “Mr. Secretary: J have the honor to acknowledge tie réceipt of your courteous note trans- mitted to me by Senor Arredondo on the fourth instant, in which you refor to my notes of June 0th and June %th, and to assure you of the sincere gratifi- cation of my Government at the frank statement of the difficulties which have unfortunately arisen in our relations along the international boundary and the unreserved expression of the desire of your Government to reach an adjust- ment of these difficulties on a broad and amicable basis. The same spirit of friendship and solicitude for the con- tinuance of cordial relationg between our two countries inspires my Govern- ment, which equally desires an, immedi- ate solution of the matters of differ- ence which have long vexed both Gov- ernments. “It is especially pleasing to my Gov- ernment that the de facto Government of Mexico is disposed to give quick, as well as practical consideration in a spirit of concord to the remedies which mav be applied to the existing conditions. Reciprocating the same desire the Gov- ernment of the United States is prepared immediately to exchange views as to a practical plan to remove finally and prevent a recurrence of the difficulties which have been the source of the controversy. “Accept, Mr. Secretary, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration. “I am, sir, yours very sincerely, “ROBERT LANSING.” Await Report on Fight. A further report on the fight in which bandits overwhelmed a Carranza force near Corralitos, Southern Chihuahua, Was looked for today. Of greatest in- terest to officials was the question of whether the outlaw band included Fran- cisco Villa and whether it is bound for the American border to make another raid, the possibility of which Gen. Car- ranza mentioned in a special communi- cation to the can Government yes- terday. War Department officials expressed doubt whether any bandit force would attempt another attack such as that on Columbus, N. M., and painted out that the distance from Corralitos to the near- est border point in the Big Bend dis- trict of Texas is 165 miles and the route fs over a desert. Preparations will be made to guard against any possible at- tack. The State Department had a report from an American who said he talked to Villa at Corralitos a few days be- fore the fight with Carranszistas. sg The incident of the latest bandit out- break, even if it does not extend to American soil, is expected to influence the diplomatic conversations which will begin soon between Arredondo, Carran- za’s Ambassador designate, and Act- ing Secretary of State Polk. Officials believe it indicates the Carranza Gov- efnment cannot yet suppress outlawry entirely in districte its troops are sup- posed to control. Villa Is Reported to Be Active at Canutilio.

By CLAIR KENAMORE. A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. EL PASO, Tex., July 8—Army men and observers of events along the bor- der watch with keenest interest advances made by the State militia towards reg- ular army standards, and all agree, supporters and opposers of the State troops, that it is possible to report prog- ress. The first militia to be called out for border service was that of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, nearly two months ago. Lately, militia of all the states has been called to the colors. These last are but newly on the ground and the men have hardly got straightened out. Some of them are not yet here, and an order by Secretary Baker re- leasing from service on request ali those with one or more dependent rela- tives will probably take half the men home. In that disorganized condition, it is doubtful if any fair estimate of their ability to be made into soldiers can be made. ‘New Mexico militia was at Columbus 48 hours after the call was made, and it has been in camp there ever since. I saw them as they detrained at Co- lumbus, some of them still in civilian clothes, some carrying grips and all just away from their regular employ- ments. I saw them again this week, after two months in camp, drilling, set- ting up pup' tents and doing all the work of a camp. To me they seem much nearer the regulation soldier than they were then. Physically Unfit Weeded Out. One reason for the improvement is that the army medical officers have weeded out the physically unfit. It would seem that the national guards- man should be subjected to the recruit examination of the regular army when he joins the militia, so that the militia would not waste its time on men who cannot enter the regular army, but this is not the case., New Mexico has lost, I am informed, 500, men out of approxi- mately 1000, but their places have been taken by newly enlisted men who could pass the tests. This has given them men more capable of taking on the soldierly air. Another reason for the improved ap- pearance is the association with regu- lars who know how to wear thir uni- forms, who carry themselves jauntily, and who take pride in their appearance and bearing. The militia, in its natural state, is inclined to be a bit slovenly. The chief reason is the work through which .the militia has been put, which was not nearly as hard as it should have ‘been, according to regulars, but which has averaged four hours a day drill, practives marches anu setting up exercises. This has started the transi- tion towards the regular, and this is the thing the regular officers consider most worth while. Mexicans 'Take the Oath. In weeding out the physically unfit, New Mexico lost many of its soldiers of Mexican blood, but when it came to taking the oath which makes them Fed- eral soldiers not a Mexican balked. Only four men refused to take the oath and they, all white Americans, are in the guard house. For a month, the New Mexicans have been doing the post work formely done by the regulars. This consists of out- post duty, interior guard, and all oth- er duties which look to the safety of the camp. It is doubtful if regular army officers would have permitted militia- men to take over these duties when they first came out. First Lieutenant Ben F. Ristine of the Twenty-third Infantry has been assigned to the New Mexico militia as mustering officer, and a noncommissioned officer of the regulars is helping them with their drills. Otherwise, there have been no schools for the militia officers, nor so far as I could learn, any strong at- tempt to induct them into the mysteries of the art of war, or into social intima- cy and acquaintance with the regular of- ficers. It cannot be denied: that nearly all army officers believe firmly that it re- quires a year or two hard training to make a soldier, and that to make an of- ficer is a life work. and they believe that any attempt to overcome either of these rules is a waste of time. They declare they have no time to waste. I have heard no nillitia officer complain of being treated in any manner objec- tionable, but the army men must be very tactful if they can conceal the feel- ing which exists, whether created con- aciously or unconsciously. Pretty Serviceable Organization, The New Mexico militia seems to me to be a pretty serviceable little organ- ization as it stands now, although I be- lieve the officers have devoted too much time to recruiting and too little to drill and training. Army men Bay they have, too. On a certain day orders were received by the militia at Columbus at 8 p. m. — — Mixed just as you would mix, if you knew exactly how - of liquors you would select if you were an expert. u Cocktails BELL-ANS Absolutely Removes Indigestion. One package proves it. at all druggists.! to send a company to Elephant Butte Dam to aid the civil authorities in guarding that work. At 10:25 p. m. the company’s camp was clean as a pin. All tents and other equipment was loaded in their own wagons and the company, with 30 days’ provisions and 1700 rounds of ammunition, was on its way. Again they received orders at II p. m. to send a squad of men for certain duty. Exactly 20 minutes later, 22 men, with full equipment and with emergency ra- tions and ammunition, were at head- quarters, a quarter of a mile away, ready for service. They went into Mex- ico and brought back some remounts. Both these instances show good speed and efficiency for troops in a base camp which is not supposed to be near the enemy. The New Mexico camp, when first pitched, was rather a sketchy thing. It showed the laxness and carelessness of the amateur. Now it is as neat and orderly with tents as well guyed and streets as clean as any on the border. The sanitary arrangements and condi- tions which are inspected daily by med- ical men of the regular army are as good as any. While these men have advanced, they have not done as well in the last two months as they should do in the next two. They have had the camp work to do; they have lost many of their part- lv trained men by the physical exam- ination. All have been vaccinated and have taken three “shots” of typhoid virus and this takes a man down a bit. But they have gained in weight almost to a man and they are in much better physical condition to do the things required of a soldier, such as long marcnes, hours of drill or work in the rifle pits. The rifle range is six miles away and the hike there and back is itself good practice. Larks to the Boys. Twice the militia has been called on for a company of men to go to Deming to police the town while Villista raiders were hanged and these rides over rough roads in motor trucks were great larks to the boys. One angle, which to the innocent by- stander is amusing, is that the regulars have looted the militia of all its ste- nographers and typewriter operators. In point of behavior, the militiamen have better records than the average regular organization of the same strength. There have been but five cases of the summary court, compara- ble to a police court, out of the 1000 men in'two months. It is a question whether the Massachusetts or Pennsylvania mi- litia, just arrived, will show as good a record, comparatively, after the same length of time. “They are a good-looking lot of men, said a regular officer of a com- pany of militia which was being marched out of Columbus in a dust storm to take practice in setting up dog tents, but I would hate to have to take them into Mexico.”’ Why?“ They are not knit together. They do not articulate as regulars do. An offi- cer must have men with whom he can work out problems and tricks as a player does chess. He must have men on whom he can rely to follow his or- ders, men perfect in drill, who will maneuver as well under fire as out in the parade grounds. They must be drilled until the drill is their first im- pulse, ahead of fear or rage or any- thing else. That is the only kind of men with which battles can be won. Given men of equal basic capacity, 10 drilled men are worth 50 undrilled, and half-drilled men are nearly as bad. “How long will it take to make sol- diers of these men?“ “If they were in the regular army, we might get them in shape in a year, but this way—quien save.“ Band Concert, Grand and Gravois.

IMORE CHEMISTRY FATS PRESENTED NN ORPET TRIAL Defense Cross-Examines Toxi- cologist Who Analyzed Poison in Marion Lambert’s Stomach. WAUKEGAN, III., July 8.—The Or- pet jury, referred to by some of its members as a chemistry class, listened today to further questions and answers pertaining to the subject of cyanide of potassium. This is the poison with which Wil- liam H. Orpet is alleged to have mur- dered Marion Lambert. The witness was Dr. Ralph W. Webster, a toxicol- Ogist called in rebuttal by the State, and whose cross- examination re- mained unfinished last night. The questions were asked by Attorney Ralph Potter representing Orpet, and were designed to shake testimony given by the witness three weeks ago. “You testified on direct examination that Marion Lambert died of liquid cyanide of potassium. Have you changed your opinion since?“ asked Potter. “I have not,“ answered Webster. The witness persisted in explaining his answers or adding modifications, to the exasperation of Potter. Undertaker Recalled to Stand. Fred I. Wenban, the Lake Forest un- dertaker who cared for Marion’s body and was thé first, according to testi- mony, to notice the spots on Marion’s cloaw, was the next witness. The insinuations of the defense that spots, alleged to have been made by cyanide, were placed on the coat by someone interested in the prosecution formed the reason for the undertaker's recall. Did you put those spots there?“ asked State’s Attorney Ralph J. Dady. “I did not, replied Mr. Wenban. Did you place cyanogen there; or any- thing else there, or see anybody else do so?’’ J did not.” Cross-examination ond brief. In connection with the testimony of Mrs. Claude Youker, sister-in-law to Miss Celestia Youker, Orpet’s reputed fiancee at one time, and sister of Miss Dorothy Mason, who testified for the defendant several days ago, what pur- ported to be the substance of Miss You- ker’s letter to Orpet while he was in jail here was made public today. In this letter Miss Youker declared that she had remembered that Orpet had threat- ened to kill anyone who might come be- tween them and that this convinced her that the tragedy had been for her sake. She then urged Orpet to make a confession, but he declined in rather forcible language. was perfunctory Rebuttal May Close Today. It was expected that the State would finish its rebuttal testimony before ad- journment tonight. In that event the argument will begin Monday. Dr. Webster admitted yesterday that he believed that the discovery by three other chemists that the substance found in Orpet ash heap was not cyanide of potassium at all, but cyanide of so- dium, with a faint trace of potassium cyanide, was correct. This did not alter the fact, however, that the only thing he positively knew' of his own knowl- edge was what his own analysis showed, namely, a substance containing 49 per cent cyanide of potassium. The technical point involved was the sufficiency of the analysis on which Dr. Webster based his important statement that the substance was 49 per cent potassium cyanide. He analyzed for cyanide and found it. Also he founa a trace of potassium. He ascertained by analysis the quantity of cyanide and from that merely calculated the amount of potassium. The «calculation proved wrong, according to tcstimony of three chemists introduced yesterday by the defense. Dr. Webster did ict lwo for sodium in the substance, but they did, and they found it was really cya- nide of sodium, with only a trace of potassium. 1 had no interest in whether there was potassium or sodium; I was anal- yzing for cyanide, said the witness. “What I testified to as a State’s wit- ness was what I knew then; what I knew then and what I may believe now are two different things.“ Two Pounds to Kill. Answering a hypothetical question in which the analysis of the defense chem- ists was assumed to be correct, the wit- ness said that to get the cyanide of potassium which was found in Marion's stomach she would have had to have taken more than two pounds of the sub- stance taken from the Orpet ash heap, or to have drunk a two-quart solution made of it. “And how many two-ounce bottles would that require?“ asked Potter. The witness put pencil to paper and presently announced, “Thirty-two.” This bore on the State contention that Orpet brought the poison to Ma- rion in a two-ounce bottle. No such bottle ever was found, nor has there been any testimony that Orpet bought or had one. Mrs. Margaret Youker told how she had aided in an attempt by State’s At- torney Dady and his associate, David R. Joslyn, to trap Orpet into a confession shortly after his arrest. Attorney Joslyn, she admitted, drafted a letter to Orpet. It was copied with little change by Celestia who signed her name and dispatched it by Mrs. Youker to Orpet at the Waukegan jail. The letter requested him for the good of all concerned, if he were guilty to make a clean breast of it. Orpet re- plied as follows: “Dear Celestia: Your letter is all bunk. Whatever Joslyn says is a 4 He. I am awfully sorry you fell for it, even if your faith is not enough to counteract the State's Attorney's story. I can still fight it out alone. Good-bye, then.

I 4 FIRST REGIMENT MEN PROSTRATED BY HEAT AT LAREDO Temperature Goes to 100, but Rain Brings Temporary Re- lief, Settles Dust. ——— By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch, LAREDO, Tex., July &8—The First Regiment rain jonah'“ that persistently has followed the organization during preceding encampments, may have proved a blessing to the sun-baked Laredo district yesterday afternoon. At any rate, the first real rain that has visited this section in nine months fell for three-quarters of an hour. It was followed by a light shower at 5 o'clock, and at 7 in the evening the ceremony of retreat“ at camp was held in a few preliminary sprinkles. Of- ficial figures from Fort McIntosh show that one-tenth of an inch of rainfall was recorded for the afternoon. The guardsmen welcomed the rain with en- thusiasm. They shouted and many ran into company streets garbed in infor- mally light attire. Some were in no attire at all. Rain invariably has followed the en- campment of the regiment. It rained at Nevada after the regiment encamped and last year at Loutstana, Mo., it not only rained, but poured. The rain tem- porarily has allayed the ankle deep dust at the camp. Three heat prostrations were reported to the hospital corps yesterday morning during the daily “hike” to Belle Vista Heights, about three miles east of the camp. None was serious. Yesterday afternoon Henry Mann, 5934 Clemens avenue, a private in the supply company, and Harry Dille of Kansas City, a pri- vate in the signal corps, were reported heat cases. The maximum temperature yesterday was 100 degrees at 3 o' clock. Dog Attacks Officer. During the hike yesterday morning an attack on Capt. Fred A. Bottger by 1 Mexican sheep dog as he entered a shack on the outskirts of Laredo in search of water was forestalled by one of the privates in the squad of men accor- panying the officer. The private stabbed the dog with a bayonet as he sprang at the officer. Capt. Bottger was un- injured. Private William Thomure of A Bat- tery departed for St. Louis at noon yes- terday. His two younger sisters were drowned, July 4, in the Missour! River. Capt. Frank M. Rumbold arranged a 10- day furlough and advanced to Thomure from battery funds money to cover the trip home. The special trains bearing B Troop of St. Louis, the Second Infantry and an ambulance company of Kansas City have been delayed by a circuitous rout- ing, according to a statement issued late last night by Brigadier-General Harvey C. Clark. They are expected t arrive late today. A temporary invasion of Mexican ter- ritory by the First Regiment headquar- ters staff took place yesterday morn- ing when Col. Arthur B. Donnelly, Majors R. E. Gruner and Eugene Lowe, Capt. Charles Marquis and Lieut. E. H. Cooke visited the bridge between Laredo and Nuevo Laredo and stepped across the international boundary, marked by a marble monument in the middle of the bridge. A finely mounted Car- ranzista officer and a typical Mexican soldier, with rifle, sombrero, vaggy white cotton trousers, blue jumper and bristling cartridge belt, stepped from the southern end of the bridge to meet the officers. It should be explained that no American soldiers are permitted to the line. Consequently the stay of the officers in Mexican territory was brief. They walked right in and turned around and walked right out again.“ The officers were armed with 45-caliber automatic army pistols. Summer Bargain Prices on Diamonds and Watches.

OG UIT Men Surprised in Rcundup Conducted by U. S Troops at Namiquipa— Women Try to Throw Searchers Off Trail. By JOHN KIRBY. A Staff Corres tet the Post- Dispatch ang the New York World. ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Mexico, July 3, via mail to Columb N. M.. July 8.—Four of the Mexican bandits charged with helping Pancho Villa mur- der Americans at Columbus were bagged in a final roundup at Namiquipa at 2:30 in the morning. Four cavalry troops silently filed out of camp. The arrangements were made so secretly that none except the camp commanders and the outposts knew that a daylight roundup had been arranged. Just a few hours before the party was organized word reached camp that the Villa men had come down out of the hills, where they had been hiding for several months. They came to get food, ammunition or medical attention. The intelligence officer of the organiza- tion was in possession of complete de- tails concerning their description and hiding places. Mongrel Sounds an Alarm. Namiquipa, a typical collection of Mexican adobe houses, is scattered along the sides of a stream which is about 6 inches deep at present, and swells to 6 feet in the rainy season. As the head of the column struck the creek a mongrel sent up a whining yell and a light appeared in the door of the first house on the outskirts of the town. A half-dressed Mexican took one look at the advancing column and retired with- out comment or investigation. The dag’s yelp sufficed to alarm all the kennels in the neighborhood. Speed took the place of silence. The troop dashed through the creek and started up the main street. A squad of eight men had been sent ahead to sur- round the house which harbored one of Villa’s former Lieutenants, whose foot had been wounded by an American bul- let. The bandit had returned to his mother’s home for medical attention. He was found in bed, nursing the wound. Half a mile from the plaza the troop white house, and the men were split into squads, with orders to surround it and allow no one to enter or leave it. This was the home of Cervantes, Villa's successor, who was killed three weeks ago. It is a pretentious house as houses go in the town. In the old days of regulated graft Cervantes had been a power in Namaiuipa in a more or less humane way. He was Tax Col- lector, which gave him a degree of power second only to that of Governor of the State. When the revolutionists became active and there were no more taxes, Cervantes became a patriot“ and joined Villa. Widow of Cervantes Found. A sharp rap at the door went unan- swered. The Lieutenant in command of the troops and his aid, an American scout, bolted over the side fence and started for the rear door. Mrs. Cer- vantes and her mother stood in the kitchen doorway watching a squad of troops, who covered them with rifles from the irrigation ditch, 2% yards away. We came to get the two men you have here,“ the American commander said to Mrs. Cervantes. There are no men here. You have killed the only man I had,“ the woman replied. The Americans began a systematic search of the house, while the younger woman stood by and watched without comment. The old woman walked up and down the yard constantly fingering her prayer beads. As the party was about to enter the last room, the old woman shrieked and Mrs. Cervantes attempted to block the doorway. “You shall not take them. They havo done nothing to you,” the bandit's wid- ow said. She was quickly brushed aside. Two little boys—aged 2 and 4—were nes- — — 4 LOW FARE TICKETS Throughout the Summer and other resorts on the THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS THE SEA To Washington, 1 New York, Boston, iladelphia, Atlantic City Jer- Go Via America’s 8 Railroad. ap ee wee N EA Baltimore & Ohio SYSTEM De Mowntains — Becks the East torel—- piosares ‘and’ decatioes pe Office, 316 N.

The column trotted a half a mile across country to a rambling adobe house which was already surrounded by a detachment. A great black man, the head of the house, assured the troops that no bandits were harbored there. A girl with a baby in her arms insisted that the man who was wanted had not lived there in many months. It devel- oped that the man was the husband of the girl and father of the child in her arms. She said she had not seen him in more than six months. The scout said the man had slept there the night be- fore und then led the party to a little place about two miles across the hills where he thought the remaining three being sought might be rounded up. They brought up at a dozen shacks nestled against a hil The most di- lapidated of the houses was surround- ed. An old woman and a middle-aged man stood at the door. They denied knowing the man who was being hunt- ed.

The two brothers were turned over to a sergeant and a squad. Fourth Bandit Captured. While this was going on another squad captured the fourth bandit. He was a youth still in his teens. He wore a pair of trousers of American make, which are supposed to have been stolen at Co- lumbus. His wife, a half grown girl with a baby in her -arms, protested against the capture and bathed the baby ir, tears as her bandit husband was led away. The Mexicans will have an opportun- ity to establish their innocence before a New Mexican court. the scout. “We've for a good while, Man Stabbed in Four-Cornered Fight. In a fight participated in by four men at Fifteenth and Pine streets at 1 o'clock this morning, Charles Crumley, an insurance agent, 28 years old, of 3141 Washington avenue, was cut on the forehead. Joseph Laydon, % years old, of 821 North Fifteenth street, was ar- rested and charged with the cutting. * 2 18 a ‘A 22 8 5 ar 1 nie . 1 = 1 pe | 8 5 5 ey 3 WN ; 8 7 « 3 4 2 1 4 — — Wie - x * .

Baron Biichi Shibusawa, president of the American-Japanese Assoctla- tion, couples his congratulations to the nation with an admonition that, while shaking hands with a new friend, Japan must not forget or slight the historic friendship with America. 1 To a question from the Associated Press representative as to what effect . the alliance would have upon the open door and the integrity of China, the Foreign Office replied: “The convention is effectually an emphasis upon and an extension of the Anglo-Japanese alliance based upon the territorial integrity of China, whose open door and integrity are now endangered. American trade and interests are in no wise affected.” The Foreign Office denies affirma- tions in Japanese newspapers that the convention contained secret clauses.

Quarantine Against Infantile Paralysis. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. : 0 column seven, on page two, of your paper of today is the following extract from an inter- view with Dr. Simon Flexner of New York, and ö + in which I assume Dr. Flexner is correctly quoted. The doctor says: “It can now de affirmed that epidemic poliomyelitis is one of the diseases in which there are both healthy and chronic carriers of the microbe agent of infection. The healthy carriers are persons who have been in inti- mate contact with ones who have been acutely ill. The chronic carriers are persons who have "recovered from an acute attack, but in whom at the expiration of several months the virus remains. These two classes of chronic car- Tiers add materially to the possibility of lde dissemination of the virus. Dr. Plexner, as I am informed, has for years studied infantile paralysis. His views ought to have weight. If he is correct, a condition exists in-all cities and districts where infantile paralysis exists that can only be adequately met by a Prompt and rigid quarantine of all persons who = or may come in contact with persons ving the disease. According to Dr. Flexner an afult person (adults seldom contract the disease) * real be in contact with a child or children in Behe: York and 1 the disease himself t board an interstate train for St. Louis, Mo., and arriving here might carry and scatter the : in St. Louis. This being true nothing but a strong Federal Government quarantine aided by ty and state authorities can check this epidemic. Sometime since, the foot and mouth disease broke out among the cattle. Congress promptly pplied the money, and all the power of the ——— Government was exerted through the Health and Medical Departments to check 8 and the result was that it was soon f control, and is now about stamped out. was all right. BUT TH CHILDREN ARP T ENTITLED TO AS MUCH CONSID- TION AT LEAST AS THE ‘CATTLE, and if it proper to prevent shipments of cattle from districts in order to protect lives of sg cattle in noninfected territory, it is sure- ly our duty to prevent the passage of persons ex- to the disease from infected to noninfected ss posed BS cities and districts. ; 3 The mere co-operation of the Federal authori- a3 wa st New York with the New York authorities r possible carriers of the disease, as by Secretary McAdoo, is not sufficient.

Joseph Stephenson in Gardner (Mo.) Gazette Several times recently the life of my wife and my own life have been placed in jeopardy by reckless automobilists. To all such miserable whelps, I wish to say with all the emphasis which the law will permit me to use in print, that I have provided myself with a 48-caliber Colt’s revolver and have it loaded. When I drive out behind my old family mare and any Kansas City dude or woodenheaded resident of this or any other community tries recklessly to run me down, I will, to the best of my ability, endeavor to perforate his tires and his legs. This is no idle threat as anyone who tests the matter will find to his sorrow. Things have come to a pretty pass when a law-abiding, taxpaying citizen can- not use the highways except at the risk of being killed by some lop-eared lout with a 2x4 brain and a 10x12 gall. % „„ „„ „„ „„es „ „ „ „ „ eee „ „„ „ „% 6% 6% „„ „% % „ „% „% „ „ „ 660 : How the people one sees lounging in automo- biles ever could go to work again prompts one to trust in a nice humane way that they may never have to. fleeing across the border are rejected by our own army, probably upon the theory that a man who has run away once is like a horse.

A one-legged tramp pulled off quite a stunt at the Com- mercial street crossing of the Mo. Pac. some time ago when, balanced on his one leg, he deftly threw his crutch inte a box car of a rapidly moving train and nimbly dived after it. He made a good jump, too, and landed safely in the car. It was a trick that not one man out of 500, even with two sound legs, would try. Now that Mme, Gadski’s husband has been proven innocent of the charge against him, what his wife said about it probably is not to be held against her by ladies who have never had the experience of having their innocent husbands arrested. HUNTING VILLA IN MISSOURL From the Warrenburg Journal. Excitement ran high in Johnson county last week, when officers and citizens captured a mysterious swarthy indi- vidual who looked like a Mexican bandit, and who had been prowling around the Fulkerson schoolhouse, 12 miles north of Warrensburg. It was rumored that Villa. wounded, had been caught. The prisoner was turned over to Sheriff Miller, to whom he said that he was a half breed Indian from Kentucky. A FREE-VERSE NOCTURNE.

The belled buzzard, which has turned up this year near Jonesboro, is the personal property and pet of Col. Jeems N. Sharp of Bates county, but seems to have wandered far from home. For a long time the belled buzzard made its home on the farm of Col. Sharp near Passaic and made frequent visits to the Colonel's barnyard and fraternized with the other fowls; becoming so tame that it would eat out of his hand. It would disappear at intervals and be gone for several weeks, always returning, however, after these trips and appear to be glad to get back among its friends. The Colonel was able to note the fact that the email cell was fastened around the buzzard’s neck by what ap- peared to be a strong copper wire which was worn te the brightness of gold by the constant friction of the bird's feathers Colonel Sharp has been looking for the return ef the buzzard for some time, Maybe Hugheg only resigned to make it seem that there are more people out of work than is actually the case.

He was honest and upright. He came to the city from the „small town and worked himself up.“ He denied him- self many things in order that he might have a little “nest ege’’ in the bank. He was the kind of “chap that never watched theclock wherever he was employed. He did what had to be done and took an interest in his work. Therefore every time a good man was needed for a better place he got it. Finally he became a junior partner in the firm for which he had worked so faithfully. Now he was on the interesting road to “Easy Street.“ Things were not so hard for him. He had grown up with the work and knew every part of it Therefore he could direct others to do the work he had done. This is one thing that is not always recognized, The most successful directors are those that have been directed themselves. Having succeeded thus far, he breathed easier and began looking about to enjoy life a bit. e went out some, joined dinner parties and in- dulged in little social times generally. On one of these occasions he met a girl. She was a very pretty girl. She came from a.nice fam- Ur, but she had always lived in the city and naturally loved city life. That is, she was fond of the theater, the restaurants, caba- rets, etc. She was a very knowing girl also. She saw that the youth was a partner in a good business. 80 she beamed brightly upon him. He was attracted. He danced attend- ance upon her. He took her wherever she wanted to go. Nothing was too good. Let her mention something she wanted in the way of pleasure and he arranged it. Often he would ANTICI- PATH her wants. Every day he grew more attached to the girl. She had such winning ways and coyly told him how much she cared for him. He looked upon her as the future mistress of his heart and home, and so it was generally understood among their friends. Her family was pleased. When they finally became engaged he was more Sig. aeNE LOLS, expensive gifts on her, because he knew how SHE would delight in them. But alas and another alas, one day a poet from the hills came to town. He had long hair and soulful eyes—but not a penny in the world. In fact, he scorned money and the worldly world. Lite meant more than (filthy Imere, he told his Bohemian friends while he ate his iettuce sandwich, He met the girl.

She understood just how to pose Fo that the light fell directly on her ATTRACTIVD features. The poet was enthralled. She likewise. One day our youth received a letter from the girl. It read something like this: “I love Roland and Roland loves me. We were MADE FOR EACH OTHER. I am 80 sorry. I am sure you will find someone who will fill your soul as Roland does mine.” They went away to live on soul stuff (but that is another fable). When the youth figured it up he found that he would have no money for his future wife and home because he had blindly spent his all on the girl who had only cared for the good time he gave her. He learned this moral: THE GIRL WHO IS MONEY-MAD IS USUALLY LOVE-FOOLISH. Light in Sugar Crystals. ROCERS and others who have had occasion to handle sugar have fre- quently noticed a soft, bluish light when a scoop was scraped across sol- idly-caked sugar in the din. Loose sugar does not show this glow, nor does granulated. The cause of the pe- cullar light is in the fracturing of the sugar crystals of a number of different substances, but in none is more pro- nounced than in rock candy. To get the best effect, place lumps of rock candy between the jaws of nut-crackers or forceps, and suddenly crush the crys.- tal to fragments. If the room has pre- viously been darkened, the flash of light may be seen at a distance of 2) yards or more. TROUBLED WITH LITTLE PIMPLES Face, Hands and Head Full, itching and Burning.

A simple lunch and the pair were about to start with a big basket of wild blooms that the mother had gathered in her walks. As they stood on the porch waiting for a street car the sound of thunder boomed out and dark clouds began to rise over the town. A heavy storm was coming. Tou had better not venture out, moth- er.“ said the boy anxiously. “It looks as if it would pour soon.”’ „Hal,“ replied the mother, I do not see how I can fail to go. I promised my mother years ago that I would al- ways put flowers on father’s grave ev- ery Decoration day, when the other soldiers were remembered.” “Perhaps someone else will do it.“ put in Hal. “Maybe there are some other members of the family who will go out.“ No, son,” continued the mother. There are no other members ot the family. All are dead except my Uncle John, who went West in 1860. He is your grandfather’s brother and my un- cle, but no one has heard of him for years. He is the only living member— if he is living at all, which we do not know. All the rest have gone years ago.“ AL went home with a sad heart, ward a car, waving his mother a farewell. He would go, storm or no storm. He had no work now, but he would do this for his mother’s sake and trust to the future. By the time he reached the cemetery it was pouring in torrents. Yet he carefully placed the flowers around the headstone. As he turned to go he bumped into a tall, el- derly gentleman, peering down closely at the lettering on the cross. “Pray, why are you decorating this grave so anxiously in the storm?“ said the old gentleman. Is it not the spot where lies the body of George Clarke? He is my brother and I have just come from the West to find his grave. I understand this is it. Perhaps as you seem interested in the same thing you can tell me of his daughter, my niece, and her son. “Oh, then you are my mother’s Uncle John,” exclaimed Hal. “She was telling me half an hour ago of her father’s brother, who went West a long time ago. I am Hal Campbell and my moth- er was Ada Clarke.” When Hal returned from the cemetery it was not in a street car, but in a big touring car by the side of his great- uncle. And his future was no longer uncertain, for with his uncle’s help he went into business with great success in his home town. (Copyright by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Dodging Enlistment.

UG. 15—-Ned and I had a party A today—what I call a two-party— | just ourselves. It was a glorious morning, and not 80 warm as to make moving about a dis- agreeable task. At a late breakfast Ned looked up suddenly, with one of his quick smiles. Nobody's dying in my bailiwick,” he said. “Let’s run away together. I'll duck the office and we'll go some place on a boat, some place that’s not fash- lonable. Let's take some sandwiches.”’ “And let's go to Fern Island,” 1 vol- unteered happily. For that quiet, un- spectacular spot, with its amusing archi- tecture and statues, its beautiful trees and flowers, had been a favorite one- day trip of mine since I was a little girl. Ned remembered it, too, and read- ily fell in with my suggestion. When we reached the island we walked up and across its shady slopes, delight- ing in the cool greenness of it all. We had a waltz and a one-step in the quiet open-air dancing room. I dared Ned t go on the merry-go-round, almost the only festivity in sight that seemed to be doing a rushing business, but he said there were some things a rising young physician owed to his dignity even on a day off. We paid a visit to the Swiss yodellers, however. Ned’s Supreme Ambition. ] 72 we wandered on, beyond the amusement reservation, into a field that was just the country, a field with a boundary fence overgrown with bushes and shaded by young trees. We sat down in the shade to eat our sandwiches and drink the coffee Ned had brought in his traveling flask, the cover of which made a cup we shared between us. By imperceptible degrees our talk be- came more serious. And finally Ned spoke of something he had never men- tioned before, even in the days of our courtship. He told me what is his su- preme ambition. And it is a wonderful thing! Rather timidly I asked him how his book, was getting on. I hadn't men- tioned it since the time, nearly a month earlier, when I had learned of it by chance from his office assistant, Miss Duryea, and he had refused, al- most with annoyance, my offer to be his secretary. A Talk on Ned’s Book. TT teres he seemed pleased at my in- j terest. “I’m working it out,” he de clared confidently. “It’s half written now, but I have more material to col- lect. When it’s done“ —his voice trailed off and his eyes stared thoughtfully at the Sound, which he was facing stretched at full length on the grass, his chin propped in his hands. “It’s just this,” he said tensely. “I don’t want to spend my life pandering to the whims of a lot of lazy, hyster- ical, overimaginative society women. I treat them and we dine with them, but I haven't any illusions about the real worth of the work I do for them. They're simply a prop I can't afford to throw away—just now. What I want to do is to put an end to the most flendish suffering in the world, the tortures of the drug flends. My book is, so far, an analysis of their mental and physical pain, but before I get through I shall suggest an abso- lutely new treatment. I am certain, so far as a man humanly can be, that I am on the right track.” „Ned, what a splendid dream!“ I breathed. And in one flooding instant I forgot—I think for always—what I had feared was my husband’s snob- bery and professional jealousy. He is a really big person—I will never doubt it again. — * . * * ye f N J N 9.

An husband may be nothing to get excited about, but me Whereas an Ideal is something to cherish and admire, but he is NUTH- ING to MARRY! And which of these would ye have? N these days of perpetual hurry and feverish unrest, when an engage- ment between two young people to take each other for better or for worse is based upon the whim of a moment, and when marriage is treated as the passing and pleasant incident among a hundred other experiences of life, it is odd to look back upon some of the old ceremonies and customs attending court- ship which prevailed until comparative- ly recent yeats, and which in certain parts of the United States are kept alive to this day. For instance, in the Bay district of Massachusetts up to the middle of last century the man falling in love with a girl was obliged, under the law, to first propose to her parents, without whose consent no engagement was legal. If the parents approved of him he was permitted to visit their home in the evening and there, in the presence of the family, pay court to the daughter. By and by the parents went out, leaving the couple alone together, this association being held to complete the engagement. The marriage invariably took place the following day, a refusal on the part of the man to carry out his contract being invariably followed by his excommuni- cation. The old-time Pennsylvanian met oppo- sition from his loved one’s family and friends by simply gathering her up on horseback and riding away, the lady be- fore, the man behind. In this way they arrived at the house of the nearest Magistrate, the girl an- nouncing that she had run away with her sweetheart and brought him there to be married. If the bridegroom wore a sheepish grin, as was inevitable, the Magistrate aceepted her story as true and tied the knot. a In England, under olden laws, no man dared court the girl of his heart save with the consent of her parents unless Old Courtship Customs felony and liable for transportation for 14 years, the romantic marriage void. In certain parts of Wales is an custom, still in effect in remote districts, under which the young man, te prove the truth of his devotion to the girl of his heart, must stand in his shirt outside the window of her room through rain and wind of a : : ins : 4 . hk 2 2 N . a „ he . 9 r ve 2 a * 2 f 5 f 4 af . 5 es 2 Mere D 1 he : | to the service of a w whom they knew only would buy stockings for which they begged the for a few days by way Courts of love were and England composed of both sexes, who decided all tween lovers, determined all etiquette in gallantry or the be used by sweethearts in addressing each other. Why the Sun Is Hot. HE great German physicist Helm- holtz was the first to explain satis- factorily what keeps the sun hot. The sun is not burning; it is heated to the glowing point, like a piece of white hot iron. Helmholtz found that if we sup- pose the sun to be contracting by only 250 feet a year we would receive our present amount of heat. In other words, says the Popular Science Monthly, heat is being literally squeezed out of the sun. Prof. Newcomb estimated that when the squeezing process has contin- ued for about 7,000,000 years the sun will be one-half its present size. — —a—ꝛ—— . eee it | : ry . 8 N . 4 * e r + 71 1 * Children Cry For r W * 2 ¥, ae * i K noe Ye Be n EP MR a 118 att * 128 1 — :

ALEXANDER GETS “LUCKY” Wonderful Catches by Paskert Is All That Saved Famed Flinger in Meadow’s Duel. By W. J. O’Connor. When discussing the National League champions of Stand-Pat Moran, who are rattling along four games from the top, we invariably re- member the words of Mike, the ex- pert ditch-digger who had a few words to say about his friend and shoveling associate Pat, deceased. Said Mike: ‘‘No, he were no fancy shoveler, but he were a good shov- eler.’’ And it’s the same way with the Phil- lies. They are no fancy ball club, but, boys, they're a good ba ll club. Steady, tight afield, reasonably sure at bat and dogged in their determination to win. Just pluggers, who play something like Fielder Jones thought the Browns would, but. can’t. They get a run or two on a pitcher and then settle down to a defensive campaign. Tney win oftener than they lose. Moran faced the barrier this year with the same team that won the N. L. pen- nant a year ago. He added a few Fed- eral Leaguers, but they seep through the box score only when a regular 18 injured. Such as Cooper vice Whitted, disabled, yesterday. Team Has Same Front. Alexander, Demaree, Rixey, Mayer and Chalmers are doing the bulk of the pitching, just as they did last sea- son. Mayer has been a big disappoint- ment to date as old per cent“ hasn't any of the cunning that fooled the batters a year ago. However, McQuil- lan and nder are doing enough to 1 the loss of Erskine, the Israel- Pask has come back with a rush, and is playing the game afield like he did in -12, when he was considered the premier center fielder of the Na- tional League. Even Speaker was not conceded much in comparison to Pas- ert. In yesterday's game Paskert saved Alexander's nanny from straying into the Cardinal corral more than once. He nipped a home run from Bescher's bat by a great sprint, and a leaping catch. He took a sure single, and a possible double away from Gonzales with a runner on first and two out. He saved Alexander's hide, indeed he did. Meadows really outpitched Alexan- der. He was never hit so hard and the run scored by the Phils is due absolutely to the putrid work of Jack Smith, who made a wild return to second base. Bancroft was on first as f. result of a scratch infield hit. Killefer flied deep to Smith, who hes- itated when Bancroft bluffed a dash for second, then threw and threw a mile over Corhan's head. That put — in a position to score on Vaskert's single, which came after two were out. Paskert pickled the first ball. Smith’s Poor Work Hurts. In the fifth frame the Cards were lucky enough to get Smith to second with none out, He went to third when Niehoff grabbed Snyder's fly in foul territory, but Corhan was impo- tent while eadows went out on a well-designed bunt. In the eighth and ninth rounds the first man up for Hug got on, but the ‘weak hitters came next and they could not land the punch. This sounds well for Alex, but we must remem- ber that the Cards hit more line drives in the first four frames than the Phils sent out all day. In the end K 2 of 2 defense. a s bulge on Smith an that beat the Cardinals. 1 The Phils, by the way, are second to the Braves in fielding. Bancroft and Niehoff have developed a smart keystone combination and with Pas- kert in center field and Killefer be- hind the bat the Phils have that great winning string—like the Kling- “Hofman and the Sullivan-Da- vis-Jones combines of olden days.

By his failure to do anything whatever to his opponent, Stecher left the impression that he lacks versatility. His failure to “get behind“ Lewis at any stage of the proceedings indicates that a moderate defense can hold him off. Few can believe that the wrestler lives whom Frank Gotch could not top within an hour. Lewis is a good man, according to the lo- cal experts, Geurge Baptiste and John C. Meyers. But all the “tal- ent“ here believes that Frank Gotch, if he can get into condi- tion, will hold the youthful Ne- braskan safe. “He doesn't know enough,” is the accepted verdict. Omaha Offers $75,000 for Title Bout. HAT Gotch will ultimately emerge from retirement to test the upstart challenger, few doubt, especially since Gene Mel- lady of Omaha has come out with an offer of $75,000 for a finish struggle between them. Gotch, now with the Sells-Floto circus, has been gradually get- ting into shape. He will doubt- less be heard of in minor bouts ere long, taken on by way of tests. If Gotch agrees to the match at all, he will probably feel cer- tain in his own mind that he is physically able to get into ap- proximately his former condition. Stecher May Show Here. T HE championship aspirant may be seen here in a few weeks. Local promoters are ne- gotiating with Emil Klank, now handling Marin Plestina, a 240- ound foreigner, to appear here n an open-air event at some local park. Plestina figured in the New York tournament and is reported to be a tough customer. eorge Baptiste is one of those interest- ed in bringing the match here. Stecher’s Weak Point. n of the Omaha match state that Stecher. although he was the aggressor throughout the bout. was unable to get close enough to Lewis to ‘apply the famous “scissors” hold. Once he had it on his opponent's arm, but not once did he suc- ceed in applying the rip to Lewis’ body. However, Stecher showed that he is game and strong when he voluntarily took a position in the center of the ring and twice let Lewis obtain a toehold on him. Both times he broke the Strang- ler’s grip readily. But he himself could not et into the coveted position behind his opponent to apply his deadly “nciasors.” If he could not get to Lewis, what could he hope to do with Gotch? S far as his championship caliber is concerned, ‘‘Scissors’’ Joe Stecher, the Nebraska wrestler, is not cutting as much ice as before the match with ‘‘Strangler’’ Lewis at Omaha, July 4, when the contest went 5 bours A More Frenzied Finance. HE fact that a city of the size of Omaha is able to offer $75,000 for a wrestling match is one of the many shocks caused by the sport world finances during the last year or more. Yet there is little doubt that Gotch and Stecher would draw a tremendous sum at the Cornhusk- er metropolis. The Lewis-Stecher bout attracted 18,000 persons, or a total gate of nearly $30,000. The wrestlers split $17,900, or 60 per cent of the receipts. The match was scheduled to go to a finish, but Referee Ed Smith took it upon himself to end it. At one stage of the performance he halted the contest to inquire if it would not be preferable to stop the contest and continue it next day, but he was overruled. Notwithstanding the articles of n Smith ended the bout, giving out a statement that in his opinion the men were so ex- hausted that one or both might be seriously injured if the strug- xle continued. He stopped it on the ground of “humanity.” If Gotch decides to take on Stecher he will carry consider- able local backing, if he stands the preliminary -physical inspec- tion to which the “wise ones” will subject him. ‘ * * * Is Welsh All In?“ Read This. [* there is anything in news reports, Freddie Welsh is “done” as a boxer, and he will lose his title if opposed to a first-rate opponent at Colorado Springs, Labor day, when he is scheduled to meet one of these four men: Dundee, White, Leon- ard or Hammer. If he faces White, look for him to lose on points or a knockout. — same goes for Benny Leon- ar * This opinion is based on à pe- rusal of the accounts of Welsh's last three important fights, which were as follows: Badly beaten in 10 rounds by Benny Leonard, who has had trouble holding his own against men of lesser note. Newspaper decisions against him in his Milwaukee bout with a comparatively recent title “hope,” Ever Hammer. Outpointed and beaten by the broken-handed “has-been,” Ad Wolgast, up to the time the for- mer champion fouled, A detailed account of the Den- ver fight, July 4, printed by Otto Floto, the referee in a Kansas City paper, shows that the offi- cial did not credit Welsh with winning a single round up to the time of the foul. According to the round-by-round account, Welsh held his opponent even in the first, fifth, sixth and tenth rounds, and was outpointed by Wolgast in the second, third, fourth, seventh, eighth and ninth rounds. The conclusion is inevitable that Welsh was not within many miles of his champtonship form when he fought Wolgast and that he was probably in the same fix in his previous appearances. Welsh’s crown is hanging by a blonde hair.

He was in the room with W. C. Stew- art and the door of the office locked. Stewart refuses to make a statement and there were no eyewitnesses to the tragedy. From the appearance of the furniture in the office there was a desperate struggle before Schlobohm was shot. The inquest probably will be finished some time this afternoon.

Opening. 1225 103 113 112% 116% 111 1 ES Chicago St. 41% Reports of black rust damage in North Dakota sent local wheat futures up 3 cents a bushel in the last half hour’s trading today, under an urgent buying movement from “shorts” and privi- lege traders, who were bearish on the market owing to the favorable Govern- ment report issued yesterday. Futures declined early and wher the news came prices were about steady as compared with yesterday’s closing. In the run to cover values advanced over 4 cents from the low_point of the day, but lost nearly 1 cent just before the close. Traders remembered the big black rust scare of 1904, and took no chances in we up short contracts over Sun- ay Corn futures averaged a fraction higher on firm cables. congestion in the July option and continued high tem wre without rain over the crop Firmness in oats followed the strength in corn, and less favorable crop re- ports. Trade in the grains was quiet, however. The Liverpool cable said: “The wheat market was dull but steady, with light American shipments as indicated by Bradstreet’s, offsetting the Government report. Spot market was steady, unchanged, with a fair demand, and Manitobas were steadily held. Cargo market steady, winters unchanged: Manitobas 1% dearer, with a fair demand and an incre demand for new winters when 0 quality is assured, Atlantic 98 are inclined easier. Native offers are lighter and arrivals smaller. India and Australia holding steady. The corn market was steady, with Amer- ican and Plates both steadily held. Spot market was steady. Plates ex- hausted and American higher, with parcel market steady and sold at 3d advance. Stocks are light and the floating quantity limited.” W. Snow’s report said. “The Gov- ernment report of 73,000,000 bu wheat in farm reserves July 1, makes it possible to approximate wheat supplies this year. As the result of an investigationin 1913, the Government estimates that farm stocks at the end of June represent 44 per cent of the total old wheat in the country. Upon that basis, our carry- over stock of old wheat this year is 168,000,000 bu, against 66,000,000 bu, dy similar calculation last year, or an in- crease of 102,000,000 bu. Taking the indicated crop this year at 759,000,000 bu, and the carry-over at 168,000,000 bu, we have a total of 927,- 000,000bu. Calling consumption and good requirements, 615,000,000 bu, we have an apparent surplus of 512,000,000 bu for ex- port and carry-over stocks. Broomhall cabled: The American Government report is construed as bear- ish and particularly farm reserves with new winters moving and general de- mand limited, it is reasonable to expect moderate prices. Broomhall cabled: Western Europe Weather generally cold and wet, very unseasonable. ‘“‘Italy—A semil-official report places yield of wheat at 192,000,000 bu, against 168,000,000 bu last year. “Rumanian—Wheat harvest almost finished and yield good.

LUCILE THE WAITRESS | ＋ IN’T it awful, friend, when A people persist in remarking about your physical appear- ance and telling you you ought to do this and that to get different?“ asked Lucile, the waitress, of the friendly customer, as he took a seat at the lunch counter. “What's up now?“ he asked. “Oh, nothing to make anybody jump any fences or nothing like that, but a man comes in here this morning with that proboscis habit of making personal remarks. He elevates his anatomical be- ing onto a stool and, when I arrive for his edible wishes he gives me the once over and says gsupercilious-iike, Why don't you diet a little?’ Now, you know and I know, that it wasn't exactly a tete-a-tete question, coming from a man as unknown to you as Jonah and his ark, but I didn’t get any too mad. I just take a tall-holt onto my temper and even slip him a smile. ‘Yes?’ I says, with a pleasing rising infection of the voice. ‘Why dost spill such dope to the little lady in white?’ “You see; kid, you never can tell. Some of those fresh guys are good to their folks, and often .will stretch the family sediment to cover over a tip for the pleasing little person with the pie- list. But this one says to me, frank- like: ‘You're too fat.’ Now, listen; they ain't anybody go- ing to elect himself censor of my avertdupont weight at all—get me? 1 am the master of my weight, and so when this guy gets point-blank rough I give him one look. I'm too fat, and you're worrying yourself to death about it, I suppose. Now, if I don't get thin you will die of worry, eh? Is that it?’ I ask. “Say, kid, he gets would-be humor- our and tries to make me appear fool- ish. ‘I merely was saying,’ he says, ‘that you got too much fat. Now, if 1 was you, I'd take more exercise.’ “I say my chance, kid. ‘More exer- cise would do you some good, too,’ I Says. ‘A little walk out of here and down the street might add to your con- stitution and make you a bit snappy in the so-called brain. How about it, Jasper?’ “You're a talkative young person, ain't you?’ he says. ‘All I was going to tell you was that you'd be prettier if you was thin. Now I got some anti- fat at home I might slip you. How "bout it? What's the next move” “ “It’s your anti,’ I says. You see, it was a joke. I just couldn't desist handing it to him, because he was tak- ing charge of my fatness and frivolity without being invited no more than nothing. Good joke!’ he says. Then he be- gins to honey up. ‘Listen, girlie,’ he says, ‘what kind of a chance have 1 got with you?’ Say. I feel the fun fever coming over me again. ‘What kind of chance?’ I repeat. Lou must have a fat chance.’ ‘Honestly, kid, it did the work. He shut up like a Dutchman at an Irish picnic and pretty soon he leaves. Just before he goes he drops a card by his plate. It's the advertisement of a beau- ty parlor where they administrate anti- fat onto one. Funny, eh?’ “Well, I should say 80,“ replied the friendly customer. Lou wouldn't take anti-fat, would you?“ 1 should say not! replied Lucile. “But what you going to eat? Hurry | up—I got to get away at 3."’ “Why ?” “Oh, I've got to take Lily, the tow- head, up to that anti-fat place. I think she’s too plump. And you know me! I always want to help my friends."’ When the wife cautions hubby to bring home a bottle of “hat bleach’ these days he knows instinctively that his last summer “kelly” is to see active service again. 2 1 6 j Judge: I fine you ten dollars each.
