PETROGRAD, Aug. 15.—The rapid Russian advance in Galicia continues, Russian troops are crossing to the west- ern banks of the Ziota Lipa and By- stritza-Solotvina, and are advancing along the Upper Stripa, the War Office announced today. Last night's statement said: “In the region of the River Sereth we are advancing successfully. One of our valiant regiments, after fording the River Tukh, a tributary of the Sereth, in water up to their chests, drove out the enemy from a series of trenches. “On the Zlota Lipa front, after hav- ing repelled the enemy, we reached the left bank of the River Deniuv, an af- fluent of the Zlota Lipa, and the Zlota Lipa itself, where we crossed to the western bank at some points. “Our offensive to the northwest of the Dneister continues. As a result of a stubborn fight we captured here the village of Tustobaby, which was pro- tected by dense lines of well-prepared communication trenches, in which the enemy met our troops with a terrific machine gun fire. “On Sunday, when we captured the sniall town of Zboroff, on the Stripa, a Belgian cyclist company, which was ac- companied by their armored cars, dis- tinguished themselves by assisting our troops in the capture of the towa.” FRENCH ADVANCE ON FLEURY ROAD 300 Yards of German Trenches Captured in the Verdun Neighborhood.

On the Somme front the French artillery was very active at Belloy, Estrees and Lihons. The statement of last night said: “Yesterday evening an enemy aero- plane threw bombs, including several of an incendiary type, on Rheims, while the German batteries fired on different quarters of the town. The civil hos- pital adjoining the Church of St. Rem|l, and a dispensary, were destroyed. Six civillans were killed.” More than 2000 unwounded prisoners and 70 machine guns were captured by the French in their operations north of the Somme from Aug. 6 to Aug. 13, ac- cording to a weekly review issued by the War Office. The number of prison- ers was increased by 600, who were taken in the Verdun sector. AUSTRIANS ARE REPORTED TO BE QUITTING TOLMINO Italian Forces Also Said to Be Within Thirteen Miles of Trieste.

New Sewer Again Fails. | The new $3,500,000 Mill Creek sewer ; again felled last night and this morning ito carry off its volume of water. The | shanhote cover at. Sixth and Rutger | streets was blown out and the gushing | sewerage washed out both sides of the | sidewalk and parts of the street to | Broadway, where the bricks and dirt eee thrown in a great heap. Street cars were stopped for more than an | hour. Water flooded Broadway fora distance of about 2 feet nerth and south of , Rutger street, flooding basements. The sidewalk and paving of Rutger street from Broadway to Second street also was washed out in places. Early in the morning ® men of the City Street Department were put to work repaving Rutger street. The dam- uge to shopkeepers and merchants is dif- ficult to estimate, as the same area was flooded Saturday night. At the conclusion of his investigation to place the blame for the overflow of the Mill Creek sewer, Mayor Kiel sent for Clinton H. Fisk, city engineer, who was in charge of the construction work of the sewer. All of the city officials agreed that Fiske is chiefly responsible for the overflow, as he should have caused the removal of an _ eight-foot bulkhead at its mouth before giving the order to turn the water from the old sewer into the new relief tunnel. The bulkhead Is a brick wall eight fect high built into the mouth of the sewer in the early stages of its construction by the contractor to protect the work- men from possible high water from the river. It was built, like all other work on the sewer was done, under*the super- vision of Fiske. It half stops the sewer opening, which is 16 feet high. Says Bulkhead Caused Trouble. W. E. Rolfe, chief deputy under Presi- dent Kinsey of the Board of Public Serv- ice, who is away on his vacation, said this morning he had figured out that the relief sewer is plenty large enough to-do the work intended for it and that there would have been no overflow but for the bulkhead, The rainfall of Saturday night, Rolfe said, created a flow of 6591 cubic feet of water per second into the sewer. The capacity of the old sewer is 3524 cubic feet per second and of the new one 3420 cubic feet per second, so that the ca- pacity of the two drains is normally larger than the flow they were called on to carry. The bulkhead also served to cut down the gradient of the water flow, he said. To Remove Bulkhead, Rolfe, Street Commissioner Talbert and Fisk met in Mayor Kiel’s office shortly after 11 o'clock and he told them that the bulkhead must be re- moved during the day even if it be- came necessary to dynamite it. He is convinced, he told the three, that someone lagged in not removing the bulkhead, and said it should have been down long ago. He was told that it had been planned to remove it today if conditions were favor- able, but that unfortunately’ they were not. He replied that notwith- standing conditions it must imme- diately be torn out. The heavy rains have sent the River des Peres in Forest Park on a boom. The grand drive along Sylvan Lake was under a foot of water ir the morning and virtually every drive in the low places was swamped. The pit of the As You Like It" stage also was flooded. Park Commissioner Cunliff was out early with a force of. men inspecting drives and bridges. He found benches swept out of place and all the low places flooded. The park entrances have not been closed, as the water has not risen high enough to interfere with traffic. At 9 o'clock it was falling. Cunliff sai4 another heavy rain would endanger Uridges over the River des Peres. At Brentwood, in St. Louis County, | some yards were under 18 inches of wa. | ter. The River des Peres bridge at 4400 Olive street road was inundated during the morning, and Kirkwood-Ferguason cars were rerouted over Hamilton ave- nue and Delmar boulevard. High Water Temporartiy Blecks Car lines toe Collinavilie and Edwardavilie. The direct car line from Collinaviile to East St. Louis was blocked at § o'clock this morning when flooded creeks sent the water over the right-of-way for a distance of three miles. The cara were detoured over the Collineville-Edgemont line. Rut a bridge over Cahokia Creek on thie line became #0 weakened that cars to Edwardsville were stopped for « while. Great damage was suffered by farmers in the flooded area. lic told one of these men that he was making this cffer to five of hit most ex- perienced and trustworthy drivers, and that if they refused to take their wag- ons out, he intended to send the wagons out, manned by strike breakers This man rejected the offer, telling Cabanne he thought too much of his own head to accept. Cabanneé gave him to understand that it was his § last chance to go back to work on the old terms. The dairymen's meeting was held at 1808 Riddle street, and it was sup- posed, before the meeting, that the dairymen, would try to submit a more acceptable mediation proposal to the drivers than the one which was reject- e dyesterday. dames A. Smyth, mediation represent- ative of the United States Department of Labor, who was at yesterday's meet- ing, Was not present today, but re- mained at the Warwick Hotel, expecting to hear from the dairymen as to their decision. The dairymen adjourned at noon, but none of them would say any- thing as to the decision reached in the meeting. The two members of the State Board of Mediation, sent here by Acting Gov. Painter, were also absent from the meeting. They are C. B. Dysart of Mo- berly, chairman of the board, and H. F. Childers of Troy, secretary. The State Board members came under orders to co-operate with Smyth. They ‘said that, unless the dairies and the drivers come to terms shortly, they would make an investigation, such as they are authorized by law to make, into the wages, profits and working conditions of the dairies. The conference proposal of the dairy- men, which the strikers rejected, was that the men should be represented by four employes of each of the four large dairies and two each from the five smaller ones, No union official should be among these representatives, it was specified. It also appeared, when the plan was more fully explained, that the company expected to choose one-half of the men itself. This plan was rejected by the strikers with expressions of de- rision. $15,000 SUIT OVER BALL KNOCKED INTO GRANDSTAND Spectator Who Had It Wants Dam- ages From Browne’ Owners Be- cause Watchman Seized Him. James C. Reach today filed a suit for $15,000 damages against the St. Louls American League Baseball Co., owners of the Browns, Hie petition alleges that while he was in the grand atand at Sportsman's Park last Wednesday an agent of the company seized him anc dragged him to the company’s office, where he was detained for 2% minutes and greatly humiliated. The suit is the outcome of a common practice at the ball park. Many foul balls are knocked into the grand stand and the efforts of spectators to hold the ball as a souvenir or to pass it from one .o another in eluding the efforts of par' employes to recover it is a frequent source of amusement. Reach was in the grand stand Wednes- day when a charity game was being played. A ball which had been knocked into the stand was being passed ab ut A park watchman saw Reach with the ball in his hand and seized him and forcibly took him to the company's oil- fice adjoining the park.

"> . Statement by the President. * At the conclusion of the conferences yesterday the President issued this ‘sfatement: “I have met both sides and have gore -dver the caze with the utmost frank- Pe@ss. I shall not be able to judge until tomorrow whether we have found a feasible basis for settlement.” Representatives of the employes main- tain that their demand for an eight- “hour day and time and a half for over- time is the only concrete proposition under discussion. They insisted to the President in their conference yesterday that the railroads make some definite ©ounter proposal. If the railroads sub- “mitted some proposed form of settle- ment, they said, they would be ready ‘to discuss negotiations further. immediately after learning the em- "ployes’ position, the President sum- moned the committee of managers und held a long conference with them. They left the White House and conferred “smong themselves the greater part of ‘the night. It is understood they dis- cUssed the advisability of withdrawing Keir “contingency” proposals and sub- mitting a proposition “without strings," az demanded by the men. '"" Hepe for Arbitration Grows. While representatives of the employes insisted that they had not yet agreed to arbitrate any feature of their dif- ‘rerences, there was a growing impres- sion that arbitration, or some form of ‘compromise would be agreed upon. At no time, it was said, did the representa- tives of the men indicate that unless their demands were granted unquali- “fledly they would go on strike. - Judge W. L. Citambers of the Fed- eral Board of Mediation conferred with the President five times yesterday, and ‘was in constar: communication with the representatives of the rallroads and the employes. “ate in the afternoon he was “summoned to the White House and went to the hotel where the managers’ ‘committee was meeting, in order to keep abreast o: their d'‘scussion. A. B. Garretson, spokesman for the -employes, said last night: ». “If there is a strike, I see no reason why the transportation of mails should | be unaffected. The Government has a eontract with the railroads, and «ot with the men.

Referring to the outstanding ner of his first visit, he said substan- tially: “1, ig very rare that official deputa- tions representing Germany's allies or n2tral countries leave Berlin without recciying an invitation to take tea with the Empress. Our good fortune lay in the fact that the Kaiser entered just as we were beginning our second cups of tea.

Presented to the Kaiser. “*An official of the German Foreign Office and our own diplomatic repre- sentatives at Berlin presented us to the Kaiser, who at once signaled us to be seated. During the remainder of the function the Emperor engaged in conversation alternately with the Em- press and the head of our deputa- tion. ** ‘He did not strike me at allas a man who was suffering intense mental an- guish or who had an intolerable bur- den upon his conscience.

The Kaiser spoke to each of us in turn, commonplace phrases enough, about the weather,.new books that were being published, the efficiency of the German railways sys- tem—a remark prompted by our quick and comfortable journey from Munich to Berlin. He seemed to be making an effort to keep off the delicate topic of the war, but the leader of our party gave him an opportunity by mention- ing our astonishment and admiration for the discipline and the unanimity of the Germans. “*The Emperor’s eyes brightened and he replied thoughtfully: “That is the impression most foreign- ers get, even hostile foreigners. I sup- pose for one thing that the cortrast be- tween the Germany depicted by our ene- mies, the Germany which is supposed to be restive, war-tired, ha'f{-famished, and the united, enthusiastic, still pros- perous country actually seen must cause them a great deal of astonishment. |! suppose the British theory that I am re- sponsible for the war has got @¢ hold on your own people.” Aecusers Once His Defenders. “It was an embarrassing quercicn and the Emperor did not seem to expect an SETTER A NERS ARTEL A: AES NEL: RE TI LEE ERC LIED LETT LOPE Tt BLAME FOR WAR 300 DIE WHEN BiG ITALIAN WARSHIP BLOWS UP IN PORT Dreadnought Leonardo Da Vinci, 22,000 Tons, Turns Over on Side After Explosion.

Yet the people who accuse me of having caused the war are the very people who previously testified to the earnestness of my desire for peace.”’ “He paused a moment and then con- tinued in grave tones: “I do not envy the man who has the responsibilit¥Y for this war upon his con science. Ij at least, am not that man. I think history will clear me of that charge, aithough I do not suppose that history will hold me faultless. “In a\sense, every civilized man in Europe must have a share in the re- sponsibility for this war, and the higher his position the larger his responsibility. I admit that, and yet claim that I acted throughout in good faith and strove hard for peace, even though war was in- evitable. “Why do you neutrals always talk about German militarism and never about Russian despotism, the French craving for revenge and English treach- ery?

In the discussion of the tariff the nominee declared that the Democratic party claimed credit for ‘‘the great pros- perity that the country is enjoying to- day.” “They seem to think,” he said, “that the American people are so lacking in intelligence that they do not know the sources of this prosperity. They seem to think that the American people have short memories. I think it will be found on election day that the American peo- ple have very good memories. “Our opponents proposed four years ago to reduce the cost of living. They said that what was necessary was to reduce the tariff and, that done, down would come the cost of living. They proceeded to reduce the tariff, but they did not reduce the cost of living. What they did was to reduce the opportunities to make a living. They did that right effectively.”’ The nominee reviewed conditions of unemployment in the country soon after the outbreak of the war. ‘‘Had there been a taking of stock at that time,’’ he said, “had the American people been able to voice its condemna- tion, there would not have been much left of the Democratic party, for the people understood what had happened to the American Commonwealth, and why.” Hughes referred to the fact that ex- ports are higher today than ever be- fore. “IT am told that in zinc alone exports jumped in a year 3000 per cent,’’ he said “Exports of mules jumped 2500 per cent in one year. Perhaps that was due to the Democratic party. “Why, it is an insult to the intelli- gence of the American people to charge that, or credit that abnormal artificial! prosperity produced by the horrible wa: abroad to the policies of the Democratic party.”’ Hughes also assailed the administra- tion for what he termed its lack of pre- paredness to meet the situation on the Mexican border, charged that the ad- ministration had changed its mind oa the preparedness issue. Whena_ great leader went through the country telling the need of preparedness, reiterated that he stood for ‘“‘an adequate reasonable measure of preparedness.” The nominee yesterday addressed his first audience made up solely of women voters. They heard him in the first of two speeches delivered here. Hughes touched upon suffrage and his views concerning it and reiterated to a large extent attacks on the administration made earlier at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. “I speak to you women as I do men,” the nominee sald. -“‘I- did—not -ecome -here to make a different kind of speech from the kind I make to men. I know you are solicitous about the welfare of this country. There is no doubt that the heart of womanhood is patriotic afl!l through.”’ The nominee’s saluation of the wom- en as “‘fellow citizens’’ was applauded. He told them that he was interested in “good national housekeeping’ and the means of effecting it. “We must have in this country a dif- ferent notion about the conduct of our business than we have had in the years gone by,” he sald. ‘This world is not the world of even 2 years ago. This world is a world that has found itself. It has found itself in the depression of a terrible Gethsemane. ‘Horrible as is the spectacle of war, frightful as the waste, we cannot look upon them without realizing that a new Europe is emerging from this struggle. We cannot contemplate the conditions of the twentieth century without know- ing that there is to be a new spirit in the United States if our prosperity is to have a firm foundation. It must be a spirit which demands efficient, impar- tial government in the interests of all the people. “It is easy for some to become enthu- siastic when the bands are playing and the flags unfurled, when they hear the strains of the national anthem and the crowds are around them. But we must have a new spirit of enthusiasm in the humdrum work of administration, the spirit of patriotism in the administra- tion of Government. That is the hard- est lesson for popular gavernment to learn. Every day in the year is a more severe test of patriotism than the Fourth of July.” Hughes declared that he considered a protective tariff essential to a continu- ance of prosperity. “The only chance that the present ad- ministration has to carry this election,’ he said, ‘“‘is because the European war has saved it from a demonstration of its inefficiency.” At Couer d'Alene, the nominee, re- plying to criticisms that he was not ccn- structive in his policies, declared at an open air meeting that he stood for a protective tariff, for a budget system, the elimination of the pork barrel, the end of extravagance and the appoint- ment to public service of men quali- fied for office. “Is that not constructive?’ Hughes asked. ‘I believe that they are the fun- damentals of constructive policies which this nation is facing today.’’ ‘I defy our opponents to go through the country in this campaign and state what they have stated in previous cam- paigns about the tariff,’” he sald. ‘“‘They don’t dare do it, because we know and the world knows that the safety of this nation is bound up in the economic prin- ciples for which the Republican party stands. I do not believe that the Amer- ican business man is a rogue; I do not believe that the American business man is unworthy of confidence; I do not be- lieve in trying to deride America’s suc- cess and the men in America who are successful. If that were so God save the commonwealth. ‘But we have need of surgery. When we have need of surgery. let the knife be skillfully applied by a skillful sur- geon.”’ . Hughes reiterated his declaration for a national budget system. “I do not know anything in the line of conservative work in this country that is more needed than that,”’ he said. “It is fGndamental. But I tell you you cannot do it, if you are running the departments of our Government for mere partisan expodi ency or to reward political workers with offices that they are not qualified to fill.” Hughes said he considered the elimina- tion of the “pork barrel” as a conserva- tive policy. *““‘We have poured too much American money into streams a few Inches deep and have nothing to show for it,” he said.

Twenty members of the St. Louis Fiore ists’. Club, headed by Henry G. Bern- ing, a wholesale florist, departed yester- day for Houston, Tex., to attend the national convention of the Society of American Florists, being held there tnis week, and to present the bid of ‘x. Louis for the 1918 International Flow~1 Show, which is held every four years. New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Detro*‘t and Pittsburg are after the show, but St. Louis stands in a fair way to secure it, Berning said. Interest of local florists is centered on preliminary plans for the National Flower Show, to be given in the First Regiment Armory under the auspices of the St. Louis Florists’ Club, March 15, '6, 17 and 18, 1917, which is expected to rival in beauty the internaticnal exhibition sougnt by this city for 1918. Membership of 150, The club has a.membership of 150 flor- ists and has set plans afoot to en-l! at least 5000 conservatory owners, gar- ‘dleners and lawn planters to prepare ex- nibits for the armory show. Beginning Sept. 14, the club will hold semi-monthly meetings in the Odd Fellows’ Buildir,, at which members and others interest ed in floriculture may hear lectures by experts on every phase of the science. A committee is at work enrolling ama- teurs, who desire to participate in the show. March was chosen for the show b>- cause the variety and abundance of hot- house flowers are greater in that moath than at any other time of the year, and particularly because bulbous plants, such as hyacints, tulips, narcissi, jon- quils and cyclamens; herbaceous plants, such as rhododendrons and azaleas, and foliage plants, such as palms, ferns. and croton, at that season, are at the ze- nith of development, beauty and fresi:- ness. Marly Spring Best Time. Early spring also is the only time of the year when tropical plants ani cit- rous fruit trees can be advantagcously shown, The cut flower exhibit will be the big feature of the show. Other cities within a radius of 1000 miles of St. Louis win have exhibits of roses, orchids, tulips, carnation, sweet violets, prim- rcses, lilies of the valley, antirrhiniums, delphiniums and the like, all of which when raised in green house are at their peas, best the latter part of March. All the St. Louis florists will compete. Special sections and awards will he provided for conservatory keepers, gar- deners and home lawn planters. For the benefit of the class daily demonstra- ticns in planting, bedding, arranging, general cultivation and pruning, and in the use of \fertilizer and insecticides, will bs given on the grounds of the armory. A demonstration in the care of the hardy perennials, such as phlox, hardy calliopsis, centaureas and clematis, also will be given on the grounds. The club expects to spend $35,000 on the show, Windler said, which, with the co-operation of amateur floriculturists, srould make it rank favorably with the great flower shows of the East. roses, Fe ee ee eee eee ee ee ee eee HEN Miss Dorothy Lee Rice of VV -xew York marries Dr. Martin Hayward Post Jr., Aug. 22, her maid of honor will be Miss Margaret Davis of Boston, and her other at- tendants will be Misses Nellie Wheeler, Bettie Vine, Mrs. Willes kK. and Mrs. Lawrence T.

LAREDO, Tex., Aug. 15.—City men, late from the era of gasoline, flivers and joy rides, who are serving with the mounted troops at Laredo are looking back on their “engine troubles’’ with’ fond feelings as they regulate the daily lives of their fiery steeds. Horses come first, then the men, in the artillery or cavalry. The folks at home might think that the first bugle in the morning means breakfast. But not so. The men fall in line, march to the sta- bles and feed and water the horses. The men are probably given this work to make them wide awake, for anyone who fools around these horses’ heels half asleep may wake up in the base hospital. After the needs of the horses have been attended to, the men may wash and eat their own meal. After drill in the morn- ings the horses are again fed and wa- tered and groomed. At tea time fn the afternoon they are again nursed by our patriotic citizenry, and after the evening mess the soldier has them in his care for his last daily duty. He arises with them, cares for them all day, knocks off work with them and may have to chase any of them at night. The State of Texas is large, and a stra* horse loose at night may be as hard to catch as Walter Johnson. Speaking of that personage, the St. Louis boys are sitting up and watching the Browns’ pennant dash, cursing their luck that they may not be in St. Louis to see the world’s series. As one A Bat- tery man said: “The first pennant St. Louis has ever had, and they send me to the Rio Grande.” The battery would have some bal! game itself if the Mexican pot ever boils over. But to return to the horses. They are feared more than the Mexicans. Villa and his bandits are vague shadows which trick the trooper’s imagination, but the horses are always in evidence. When they are being groomed the non- commissioned officers, ttanding safely at their posts in the rear of the en- gagement urge their men on. “Grab his leg,’’ they yell. ‘“‘He won't hurt you. He's not a bad horse—he’s only treach- erous.”’ If he is nervy enough to jump in him- self and show the private how the dare- devil deed is done, he may get a pile- driving kick for his trouble.

CONTRIBUTIONS. Previously acknowledged ... Carnival, 4071-73 Evans avenue Lemonade stand, 1123 North Fifteenth street Lemonade stand, 5943 Kings- bury boulevard Mildred and John North.... r Total Last week was the best six-day period in the current Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund campaign to date in amount added, the total having been $466.06. This does not quite equal the banner weeks last year, there having been two or three of those periods when the contributions reached or passed $500. Substantial as is this return from the zealous endeavors of the girls and boys enlisted in the army for the self-im- posed task of saving the babies in the homes of the very poor, it is at a weel:- ly rate that will but partially provide the pure milk and free ice essential to the undertaking. It is a vital cause the burden of sustaining which cannot prop- erly be left wholly to the children. On the three lawns at 4121-23-25 Clay avenue, thrown into one for the evnt, there will be given on Thursday evening a babies’ relief fund benefit that a large neighborhood is working harmoniously and with a powerful will to goake a real triumph for the cause. It was de- signed and is in the hands of some 15 children, gifted in manv ways ani bub- bling over with enthusiasm for the un- dertaking, ard with then in solid array are the parents and others. It is to be of the carnival order, this feature to be preceded by an entertainment into which mature skill has been enlisted for the Girection of the splendid talent pos- sessed oy tho children who are to essay the various songs, dances, drills, etc. When the affair has been brought to a close so far as the children have it in hand there will be a dance by the grown people present To Produce Play. Friday eveni.ig the children of Gascner place, to the number of about 15. are ‘o produce an original play entitied “Garna: Prize."’ It is pronounced by those ucquainted with its motive and construction to be of a real prize char- acter, bright, srappy and happily con- secutive in its Cevelopment, weil adapt- e] to the bright giris and boys who are to unfold the story upon which is founded. A large section of that part of the city is heartily aroused in behalf of the event, the children having been industrious and irresistible in the preliminary campaign. Another event scheduled for Friday evening is the creation of a group of children who never become weary in giving of their time, energy and inge- nuity to the cause of the imperiled in- fants, girls and boys who distinguished themselves last year and who have al- ready appeared in one or more benefit affairs this season. It is to take place at the new home of little Miss Miriam and Master Cyril Aye, 4157 Botanical avenue, and will be of the vaudeville type, for which those to participate are admirably adapted. Following the pro- gram of songs, recitations and fancy dances the children will conduct a lem- onade stand. event are, in addition to those named, Vera and Mabel Grandolph, Evelyn Lew- is, Marie Lee, Grace Dreon, Grace Wil- liams and Gladys Willlams. The lem- onade stand will be in charge of Cyril Aye. The admission charge will be only 5 cents. Margherito Sigillito of 5943 Kingsbury boulevard and Clara McHenry of 6921 Kingsbury, two of the charming little misses who contributed immensely to the notable triumph of “‘Little Miss Muf- fett Lost and Found,” a few weeks since, are so profoundly sympathetic with the cause of the poor babies that they go from one endeavor to another in building up the fund for saving them from the perils of hot weather. The Post-Dispatch has received from them a contribution of $1.06, realized from the conduct of a lemonade stand in front of the home of Miss Sigillito. Little Miss Mildred and Master John North are also among the untiring work- ers for the Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund. Recently they forwarded a check for a substantial sum and yesterday there came further collections aggregat- ing 10 cents. Carnival a Success. The front lawns of the homes of Mra. C. Beneke, 4671 Evans avenue, and Mrs, P. H. Goulet of 4673 Evans, were utl- lized for a festival and carnival for the benefit of the Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund, in which six of the neighborhood children participated. The affair started at 2:30 in the afternoon and by 8:30 o'clock all articles which had been donated for the enterprise had been disposed of Ice cream, watermelon, cakes and many novelties were sold by these enterprising children. There was no admission charge. The attendance was large, attracted chiefly by the pretty decorations and. the artistic dis- play of the articles for sale. The lawns were decorated with Japanese lanterns and electric lights. Several attractive booths from which articles were sold were draped with bunting of various Helen Leonhardt, 44.

A bottle of Budweiser may not be offered as a complete meal— but it has its place in the meal comparable to bread, milk or any other of the dishes or drinks that are part of the well-balanced lunch or dinner. The alcohol in beer (a small percentage) has its tonic value and its use as an appetizer. The hops have a nerve-soothing value. The malt not only has food value, but is, of all foods, one of the most quickly and easily turned by digestion into nourish- ment. By its very nature beer is especially thirst-satisfying.

Too much hope should not be built in these hours of suspense on the pressure which even a President can bring to bear upon the unyielding contestants in the railroad dispute. The representatives of neither side could afford to reject the invitation to present their case at the White House. That strike measures are held in abeyance until the results of the joint interviews at Washington could be known does not mean much. But with recourse so narrowed that only a single figure stands between the American public and the dismaying adventure of a continental transporta- tion tie-up, two features in the situation give cause for optimism. ' One is found in Mr. Wilson’s announcement that if those officially representing the railroads show an uncompromising attitude on minor points, he will go over their heads and appeal to the railroad presidents and others who control our great trans- portation systems. The other feature is his resort to a parlia- mentary device that is often effective in eliminat- ing stubborn factors in a deadlock. He proposes a division of the question. The men demand an eight-hour day with pay at the rate of time and a half for work in excess of eight hours. Mr. Wilson proposes that the railroads grant the eight-hour day without arbitration. This would lengthen the yardstiek by which pay is measured, but would not impose an intolerable new charge on railroad revenue. It would afford a test dur- ing experimental. months of the railroad claim that the eight-hour day is for the industries alone and is not adapted to transportation conditions. With the eight-hour day agreed to, there would remain the proposal for time and a half. The men profess this is desired, not to give increased pay, but to serve as a heavy penalty forcing reluctant managers to put the eight-hour day in effect under circumstances they might otherwise assert rend- ered it impracticable. Disinterested arbiters might hold something less than time and a half equitable, but with this as the sole point to be adjusted, arbitration ought to be accepted. ; The President is showing a practical grasp of the technique of reconciling irreconcilable differ- ences. The subject will at least be so clarified that if a strike comes the public will know on whom to visit the responsibility. And the public’s attitude is unchanged. It sees no excuse for the vast dislocation of our relations as a people that would result from the isolation a strike would bring to the myriad of prosper- ous and peaceful communities of America. = = ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION. Statehouse officials made an error of 1000 in computing the vote of William Dee Becker for Appellate Justice and of 100 in the vote of his rival, L. E. Walther. As a matter of fact, they have never seemed to be extraordinarily skill- ful a* addition. But those statehouse officials are famous hands at subtraction, as they showed when they took that huge chunk out of the school fund a year ago now. FOR A BIG FALL FAIR. It is always a pleasure to read the announce- ment of another big fall fair for St. Louis. No year without its fair is the aim of the United St. Louis Fair Association, the Executive Committee of which meets this afternoon to perfect plans for a big fair this coming October and to make the annual fair a permenent event. St. Louis is a metropolis, but she is indissolu- bly bound to her vast agricultural supply and trade regions. A well conducted annual fair is a splendid connecting link between city and coun- try and its attractions, with its opportunity for a genuine outing, are always enjoyed by city people with red blood. Automobile races, a farm pageant, a great dis- play of fine horses, cattle, poultry, produce, fruits, etc., and, it is to be hoped, some features not strictly agricultural, such as the latest thing in aviation, will make an enjoyable and profitable fair. If there is any likelihood that the weather will be too cold, as was the case with last year’s fair, the Executive Committee might consider the desirability of setting the date earlier this year. = = i tte THE OLD UMBRELLA. The inventive genius of man has made it possi- ble for him to fly through the air, to travel in boats along the bottom of the sea, to do almost incredible things, but he can’t make a metal um- brella rib which is certain to survive more than two or three wettings. The life of many um- brellas is not to be measured by the cloth cover- ing which protects the just and unjust from sum- mer showers, but by the rust-resisting capacity of the tissue-thin strip of tin which holds it in place. : As in everything else, probably President WiI- son is to blame. Give us Hughes and reliable, | rigid radial rods in our umbrellas! ————_—_—_—_+e— A SIGHT OF MONEY. What is more reassuring than the sight of money—next to the actual possession, ownership and “feel” of it? The sight of a bale of currency yesterday morning completely foiled the malicious mis- chief of the anonymous miscreant who tele- phoned alarming messages to depositors of the East St. Louls savings bank, with the result that they swarmed thither for a “run” on it. tion they could smell it. There it was—they soothe, allay and lull. It is a wonder that other scenery is ever sub- stituted for money in oil paintings! —_—— i 2 UNHXPEOTED STORMS. After a local forecast which read, “Fair tonight and tomorrow,” St. Louis experienced Saturday evening one of the worst electrical storms, with a deluge of rain that flooded the streets and burst up out of the sewers. The forecaster admits that his office was taken completely by surprise. The weather map showed no indications of rain, and reports from Kansas City, St. Joseph and other points showed that the weather was clear. So it appears that the condition of the weather within a radius of some hundreds of miles can- not be taken as a certain guide in forecasting weather for the place where the forecaster is located, at least in the case of an electric storm, In such a storm, the factor that probably brings about the weather disturbance is the difference in electrical tension between the upper atmos- phere and the earth’s surface at a given point. It would certainly appear that in Saturday night’s storm and the disturbances which have followed it the differences in tension between the clouds and the earth was very great. When- ever lightning flashes descend to earth with such frequency and terrifying effect, thunder following instantaneously and almost continuously, one may be sure that the display is the result of a tension that has grown until it had to give way. To forecast such a storm we need instruments that will record the increase or decrease in this fluctuating electrical tension. a» LL ~ vy Perhaps some uf the vegetarian vote was switched to Lamm. a A i i A ‘‘PLATTSBURG CAMP’’ AFLOAT. The navy’s “Plattsburg camp” begins today. from Atlantic ports must be distinguished from the familiar yearly cruises of the naval militia. in the vacation time when students can attend in large numbers caused a demand for similar fea- tures in the navy. This was met by giving civil- ians an opportunity for warship training on about the same terms as the opportunity for train- ing at Plattsburg is enjoyed. For four weeks 2300 civilians, most of whom would not know a marlinspike froma gasket will sail the deep as amateur man-o’-war’s men. To be of value on one of the floating machine shops of modern navies requires about all that is taught ir land fighting and a great deal of highly tech- nical knowledge besides. We may assume that these 2300 civilians will be given instruction in things other than the heavy duties of swabbing steel decks and cealing ship. They will learn some of the rudiments of the service that will give them an efficiency far great- er than that of green landlubbers in an emergency. They can scarcely fail to acquire some of the traditions and spirit of the navy and come back advocates of an adequate naval policy and of gen- eral preparedness on land and sea. == i A oe A little more of the milk of human kindness might prevent dairy strikes. == TTY Ww FOURTH-DEGREE MANSLAUGHTER. Fourth-degree manslaughter was the charge brought against George Schneider, dairy foreman, who killed Striker William Mitchell. This re- mark is attributed to Assistant Circuit Attorney Bishop after the inquest: “It wes no wonder he shot him, a man being beaten as he was.” Does the fact that a man has been beaten en- title him to shoot the first person he meets there- after? Does it entitle him to inflict the capital penalty even on one of his assailants, if he should encounter such assailant after his own jeopardy has passed? | The testimony showed that Mitchell was shot some time after attach when he was in the ac- tual custody of a policeman and in a fair way to being punished for his part in the assault, assuming that he had a punishable part in it, which is by no means certain. Strike violence on either side is not discouraged by a charge in such a case of fourth-degree manslaughter, for which the penalty may be as low as $100 fine. This seems pre-eminently a case in which the degree of homicide should be determined by a jury after consideration ofall the facts. = = -~ Fr Henry Ford's money “corrupted and debauched” members of the Ford peace expedition, the Rev.

You can’t always believe seriously what you read in the early Monday morning papers about what Uncle John D. Rockefeller says or does while coming out of church Sunday mornings. But the regular Monday morning items make di- verting reading. Vide this one, of yesterday morn- ing: CLEVELAND, 0O., Aug. 18.—John D. Rocke- felier does not always follow the easiest way. Talking on the subject “Why Men Fail,” Dr. Myers said that Moses was offered riches and a life of ease, but decided that he would come closer to God by following a more diffi- cult road. By doing so he eventually achieved success, the pastor declared. “I have been confronted several times in my career with a similar situation,” Mr. Rockefe)- ler said after the service. “My decision has been based on what I thought was my duty. I think I have done right.” We suspect rather that Mr. Rockefeller, hav- ing snoozed during the sermon (it was a drows- ing morning and an uninspiring topic—“Why Men Fail’), covered his embarrassment by de- clining to be interviewed when the reporters sponsible) put the item on the wires. But if John D. did actually liken himself to Moses, who declined riches and a life of ease in order to come closer to God and follow the hard path of duty, then the joke is all the bigger, and the world has a legitimate right to laugh at it.

They only know that they have loved you and their love has left its apell, As the darkness of your nighttime brought its rest to you. But perhaps there was a longing in the breasts of all the dead. Could they leave you in the shadows withovrt thinking of you there? Like as not the souls were weeping and the eyes were red; For what heart in all the future could be win- somely so fair? I was wondering, Little Mother, if your eyes are ever dry. Do you weep upon your pillows when a son is called away? I was wondering, Little Mother, tf you looked up at the sky. Did you ask if you might journey to its vil- lages some day? How your sons would greet you, Mother, when you came to see them there! They would think the dream were surely drawn away from them at last; They would know they had remembered ev'ry sunbeam on your hair. And the little, little Mother she could love aa in the past! Now, there was Jimmle Riley—he was closest to your heart— He had learned your least expression; how to read your very soul; And he loved you, Little Mother, loved your body and your heart; Loved your brothers and your sisters. Ah! he loved you in the whole? How can Jimmie spend the evenings where the skies are always blue? And no need is there in singing when rejoined lovers smile! I can see his pure eyes, Mother, send their mes- sage down to you; And he whispers: ‘‘Little Mother, you'll be com- ing after while. “Yow be bringing all your burdens, all your sunlight and your flowers’’— You’ creep nearer, nearer, nearer—till yow’re right by Jimmie’s side; And he wiit wake to find you resting, resting— all the happy howrs. Reaching down, he’ll ft and kiss you-—and he'll call you Jimmie’s bride! ALAN HERBERT. Why doesn’t Mr. Hughes sail into the railroad controversy and give us a sample of his diplomacy?

LOUIS POST: DISPATCH & DAILY MAGAZINE 7 Sin aires ————— a — LL AO Oe OL eae Pay prices of foodstuffs have advanced | greatly since the beginning of the war, but it is in Germany that the prices have soared the highest. She lai- est estimates place the average increase in prices betwen July of 1914 and July of 1916 at about 100 per cent. In the Austro-Hungarian Empire the average increase is perhaps not quite so high, and it is placed at about 8 per cent. In Great Britain the average in- crease in the retail prices of food since the commencement of the war is esti- mated at about 55 per cent. In France it has been about §& per cent and in Italy about 30 per cent. Russia, because of her vast productivs population and great agricultural re- sources, has felt the strain less keenly than any of the other Powers, and. while accurate estimates are impossible, it is likely that the average Increase jn the necessities of life has been 6nily 1 to 15 per cent. Except for the stringent official regu- lation of the sale and -consumption of foodstuffs in Germany, it is probab!e that the IXaiser’s subjects would now be facing starvation. Meat,. butter, lard. eggs, beans and lentils have soared high- est in Germany. Milk and dairy prod- q all of the warring nations the ucts have become luxuries for the ricn. The increase in beef and mutton pric s is about 125 per cent, but pork has in- creased only about 75 per cent. The Government has attempted to keep potatoes at a low price, but at times they have been practically unpro- curable. In Russia the prohibition of alcohwl has effected a saving to the people which probably more than compensates for the increased price of foods. For Tennis-Players 1.

Jenny handed me the document, The essential clause ran as follows: “Twenty thousand dollars to my granddaughter, Jenny, on condition that she marries before the next fifth anni- versary of her birthday.”’ The will was drawn in 191], and five years and a little more had elapsed. Jenny, having been born on Feb. 29, 1896, it was clear that the income had been forfeited. ‘But Cousin Francis promised me he wouldn't take the, money if I married or not,” said Jenny. ‘‘A promise is no good in law, even if there is proof of it, unless an equiv- alent is given,”’ I returned. ‘Cousin Francis has the game.”’ “But I’m—you see, Mr. was born in leap year, said Jenny. “I only have a birthday every four years. Grandfather always used to joke me about it. He said I'd never grow old.” I reckoned up. “Anyway, you've had five birthdays, Jenny,’’ I said. Even if by a miracle the courts could see that point, vou have had five birthdays.’’ “Rut not five next birthdays,’ versist- ed Jenny. “No, my dear, it won't go,’’ I said. “Why didn't you ‘narry Tommy Cowles while there was time? You played with that young man until you lost the leg- acy, and you'll lose him, too, if you aren't careful.”’ “But I haven't lost the legacy!” cried Jenny. ‘“‘And 1 want you to sue Cousin Francis, the hateful old thing, on the ground of his promise.” “All right,” I said, ‘but cun't win. ‘‘However, we might plead that your grandfather was of unsound mind’’—— “‘Hiow dare you? ly. “All right—the promise, then,’’ I said penitently. ‘I'll see what I can do for you. But it won't work, my dear.” ‘Well, Cousin Francis is going to @2t the fight of his life,’’ said Jenny, as she went out. Enter Dr. Tommy.

Even if a court could have been got to view favorably Jenny's conten- tion of her four-years birthday, still, she had five birthdays already, and no court could possibly interpret the will as meaning five birthdays after the will! was signed, or 20 years longer. I won- dered why in thunder Tommy hadn't got Jenny before and I was still won- dering when he came in. ‘“‘Miss Anderson was here just now’—— “She was, and you young fools have let $20,000 slip through your hands into the capacious fist of Cousin Francis,” I answered. “Why didn’t you marry her?” “Why,” he answered, doctor isn't going to have it married a girl for her money. to get rich before’’—— ‘Before you married her.’’ I interrupt- ed. ‘‘And meanwhile vou've made her a pauper.”’ “O it isn’t as bad as that,’’ my cheerfully. ‘See here! year proposition’’—— “But Jenny is five anyway,” with some asperity, for the fool disgusted me. ‘‘No, she tsn’t,”’’ said Tommy, in his idiotic way. “She's 4.” “How do you make that out?’ He eyed me knowingly. ‘‘Because the year 1990 wasn't a Leap Year,’’ he an- swered. I started in my seat. Then Tommy went on to tell me that he and Jenny had just thought of that, and they were going to give Cousin Francis the fight of his life. It interested me, too. I knew that Judge Hitt was a bit of a crank: still, I hardly dared to hope that he would fall for the game. “Anyway, Jenny wants a fight and we must fnsist on retaining you,’’ were Tommy’s parting words as he left me. The Case Comes to Trial. | TRIED several times to induce the “a penniless said he I wanted said Tom- That four- T said, idea grinning young people to give up the battle, but they were obdurate. I was evea willing to propose a compromise to Cousin Francis, though I knew he thought he had the case too firmly clinched to do anything but laugh at me. But I wanted to save Jenny's pocket. I wasn’t going to charge any- thing, but the fees are always stiff tn these cases, and she couldn't get off for less than two hundred—absolutely thrown away. Well, the case came on fn court, Cous- in Francis was there, smiling and bland. 1 started tn on the promise he head made. Judge Hitt wanted to know where the document was, and we confessed that it was a verbal promise. Judge Hitt glared at us as if he thought we were trifling with the Court. As for Cousin Francis, he mildly denied that he had given any promise. Then I put in my famous Leap Year araument. I could see that the Judge had been suffering from dyspepsia, and the way he received it sent down my spirite pretty low. Balder, Cousin Fran- cies’ counsel, intervened. “Assuming we grant that Miss An- derson has only reached the mature age of 6 still, she has had her five birth- days, you know,” he said, shaking his finger at me. “What have you to say to that, Mr. Allerton?’ rasped out the Judge, while the court stenographer giggied. ‘This, your honor,” I answered. “The year 1900 was not a Leap Year. Conse- quently my client is only 4"—— “But we don't grant the assumption,” shouted Cousin Francis’ counsel hastily, while the court stenographer crammed her handkerchief into her mouth. i RE A (oS 00 00 en 0 ho 0 no 0.8 IONIC “Mr. Allerton,” said Judge Hitt se- * , By Olive Atterbury. have verely, strictly temperate man, I might found unwarranted assumptions apon your ar- It will not be necessary to re- Is that all you gument. serve judgment on that.

IBBLEY was a little mouse that N never saw anything that he did not try at least to nibble at. His mother had told him to be care- ful and had punished him more than once for nibbling at things that were not good for even a mouse to eat. One day Nibbley nibbled. at a piece of iron that was painted a nice eatable color. The paint made him sick and the iron loosened his front teeth, for even after Nibbley found it was too hard for him to break off with his lit- tle teeth he scraped and scraped at the hard iron until he found he had loos- ened his front teeth, afid then ran home crying to his mother. “IT told you some time you would try the wrong thing.’’ said his mother. “You must go right to bed and have your face tied up with a piece of cloth- you cannot have anything to eat until your teeth are well. If they fall out l guess you will have to starve, for I never heard of a mouse living without teeth.”’ Nibbley was pretty frightened I can tell you; he got right ingo his little bed without a word; and that night he was very sick and had to stay in bed all the next day. Late that night he awoke and heard his mother and father and his sisters and his brothers talking low, and Nib- bley sat up in bed and listened. This is what he heard: “He is asleep, and if we go out very softly he won't wake up,” said his mother. ‘‘He could not eat any of it anyway,’ said his father. “His teeth are too loose."’ ‘“‘He just loves _ nice, too,”’ said his sister Tiny. “There will be all the more for us,” said his brother Greedy. ‘“Chese and plenty of minced-meat pies, too,"” said his brother Fatty. “Won't we have a treat. Poor Nibbley; hard cheese, = will tell him all about it tomor- row.’ IBBLEY listened and heard them N all go out, and then everything was still. Out of his bed he jumped, for he knew just what was go- ing on—the whole family had gone to a feast in the pantry of the house where he lived, and he &ad been left at home. “I'll fix them for leaving me behind,” said Nibbiey, taking off the cloth around his face; ‘I'll spoil their old party for them.”’ Out he ran, and upstairs to a place where he was sure Puss was sleeping, and jumped up on the shelf well out of his reach. “Puss, puss,” he _ called; “wake up, and I will tell you where there are some mice—lots_ of them, too.”’ Up ing her eves. she asked. “Not here, dear winking and blink- where are they?’ jumped Puss, ‘*Mice, Puss,” said Nibbley, trembling in spite of being far from her reach. “They are in the pantry, Puss, and they are eating the cheese and mince pie.’’ Something dropped and puss ran to iit. “‘What is this?” she asked. Poor Nibbley had lost one of his front teeth and he began to cry. Puss ran to the pantry, but Fathe. Mouse saw her by the door, and just as she came out under the shelf where they were all feasting Father Mouse gave a dish standing near him a tip and over it went right on poor Puss’ head, hurting her and scaring her more, and “away scampered the whole of the r.ouse family safe into their house just as Nibbley had covered his head up in his bed.
