The owner of the vineyard engaged men early in the morning at a shilling a day. Throughout the day he engaged others and promised to pay them what was r“ebt. At the end of the day he paffi each a shilling, al- though some had worked only about an hour or two. Those who had worked through the scorch- ing heat complained of injustice. The owner re- plied: “J am doing you no injustice. Did you not agree with me for a shilling? Take your money and go. I choose to give this last comer just as much as I give you. Have F not a right to do what [I choose with my own property?” No employe has any moral right to dictate to his employer or interfere with his employer's me business. No milk is being delivered because anarchy réizns. The reckoning day is coming. James 5: ]-' Come you rich men, weep aloud and howl for your sorrows, which will soon be upon you. You have hoarded up wealth in these last days. i tell you that the pay of the latorers who have gathered in your crops—pay which you are kee}p.- ing back—is calling out against you; and the out- cries of those who have been your reapers have emtered into the ears of the Lord of the armies of heaven. No employer has any moral right to do as is generally done today—pay as small a wage as men can be procured for. “The laborer is worthy of his hire.” If not, he should not be hired. A reckoning day is coming for “big business” as well as little. Revelation 13: 15—17—Capital and labor yet unite under one oppressor and the man refused to bow will pay the price, for he will cause all, small and great, rich and poor, free men and slaves, to have stamped upon them a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, in order that no one should be allowed to buy or se}! unless he had the mark. <A _ combination trade mark and union mark will be stamped upon brain and brawn, but “if anyone receives a mark en his forchead or on his hand, he shall drink the wine of God's anger, which stands ready, un- diluted, in the cup of His fury.” The earth and its fulness belong to the Lord. Men are simply stewards. All a man actually owns is what he takes with him, and all that most men possess are their sins. Jesus Christ is the Lord and the Judge. Those who refuse to gladly own His authority now will go on to the reckoning day and feel His authority then. (Acts 17: 30-31.)

In 1912 he bolted the Mepublican party because Taft became sub- tervient to the Old Guard and fell short tn ful- aatecit of the promises the Colonel made for him, Now this same Colonel is engaged in the busi- ness of recommending and vouching for another untried one, who, he says, will make us a good President. The one he has picked this time ts a xentieman whom Taft appointed a member of the United States Supreme Court. Is it not fair to presume that Hughes was appointed at the behest of the influence that estranged the Colonel from the Taft administration? Wall street and trust- don seemed satisfied with Hughes. There war no hired counsel to inquire into the quality of his “Judicial temperament.” It took six months tor the Benate to look over Brandeis and check un President Wilson's wisdom.

PASH, ya est of the services he tgs a children‘to behave lest the Bogie man will get]: HAMPERING THE PRESIDENT. One of the worst features of the situation in con- nection with the President's effort to settle the railroad controversy is the foolish conduct of business organizations which have hampered it by insisting on the contention of the railroad managers. Presidents and boards of directors of business organizations, under the influence of other or- ganizations, dominated by railroads and their al- lied interests, sign perfunctory, prepared _ tele- grams insisting that the President support the railroad program of arbitration. They insist on a particular kind of arbitration. They go so far as to assert, without a vote or any solid evidence of the fact, that they represent the unanimous opinion of the organizations’ membership. All of this is wrong. The President is making an effort to settle the dispute before a strike with its tremendous pos- sibilities of disaster and hardship. His effort dif- fers from al] previous presidential interventions in labor disputes. Mr. Cleveland never thought of intervening except to enforce law and order and move mail trains. Mr. Roosevelt intervened in the coal strike after both sides had fought a drawn battle and the disastrous situation had be- come intolerable. The President is trying to avert disaster. He represents the public and the public welfare. He represents the real interests of the employer and the employes, because after the war and its dis- asters there would have to be a compromise set- tlement through arbitration or otherwise. Probably the President would be called in to do just what he is trying to do now—bring about through mediation or arbitration an equitable ad- justment. The American people want arbitration of labor disputes by the legal means provided, or by any other available means. They want this dispute settled before it has caused intolerable disaster and hardship through the dislocation of business and the blockade of supplies necessary to: life, health and comfort. Not only should the President’s efforts have the sympathy and support of the parties to the con- troversy, but of every element of the people. | The trainmen’s representatives are wrong in re- fusing any mode of fair arbitration of the whole dispute. Arbitration is the sheet anchor of the hope of labor for equitable wages and condi- tions. The railroad managers are wrong in refusing to concede anything or to accept any concession outside of their chosen mode of arbitration. Business organizations are wrongs in hampering the President by insisting upon the railroad pro- gram. They should insist that both the railroads and the trainmen come to a settlement by any fair means. ad The dispute would have been settled now if there had been evidence of the solidarity of American opinion in support of the President’s efforts to settle the controversy by mutual con- cessions and arbitration. Even in the present crisis it can be settled if all elements, throwing aside partisan politics and selfish, narrow inter- ests, would unite in a demand for settlement. Meanwhile, if the crisis ends in a strike, which seems imminent, what the President and Congress may do to protect the country from hardshf{p is a matter of conjecture. The Government has vast power of control over public service corporations and interstate transportation. These corpora- governmental regulation and control. The pub- lic is dependent upon their service. The welfare, even the lives, of the people rest upon their operation. They must serve the public. A strike which threatened the cessation of in- dustry and commerce and endangered the life and welfare of the people might lead to an extension o; the. exercise of governmental power to control interstate transportation hitherto undreamt of. Nation-wide, disastrous conflict of railroad em- ployers and employes might awaken sleeping dogs which would rend both belligerents. It might cause a revolution in railroad management which would put an end to strikes. L. &. Se a The Texas scheme to teach boardinghouse keepers the art of cooking may work wonders. It may add millions to the census of boarders. = = STILL BEATING THE CARPET. August finds Salem swooning under the Sun’s rays—the Sun of esteemed John Hall—and things are so dull in the Arkansas metropolis that a freight train could run down Main street (only there isn’t a railroad within 20 miles) without waking up anything but a hazel-splitter—which we opine is some relation to a razorback. The Sun itself complains of dull times and slow collections. The high cost of newspaper making is evidently universal and delinquents are every- where. It is not a happy mood the editor liberates In this dog-day doggerel: “It is not all of life to live, Nor all of death to die, Or sense or right to give Ear to a false friend's lie. Smooth talk is worthless junk, “ It won't buy bread and meat. To hades with party bunk While we grab grub to eat.”’ Politicians, advertisers and subscribers alike have failed him, but through the gloom his ulti- mate faith in human nature, delinquents and Re- publican destinies shines, a cléar, pure ray—with this peroration: “By the great Horned spoon they will come across, jingling the pizzarinktums when the last bugle blast of the war tax has been sounded, when flamboyant bifurcated whiskers x tions are chartered public servants, subject to. | wave at the masthea this perilous epidemic of psychology shall have foded into literary oblivion under the quarantine of tariff protection—Selah!” We doubt it, but it is comforting to know that, come what may, our esteemed and unterrified Re- Hpublican friend will go on beating his rag carpet of journalism on the back-door step of the thank- less hell of unregenerate and Democratic Ar- kansas. i a» vw MAKING PRISON BRIGHTER. “Social Service,” with its usual worthy motives, proposes to try a new wrinkle on convicts. An organization of social servitors (if you want to join it, it is the O. E. Library League, 1207 Q street, N. W., Washington, D. C., and the mem- bership fee is nominal) proposes to enroll 5000 men and women who will devote a couple of hours each week to writing letters to convicts. They are to be “educative letters.” Gentle reader, how would you like to be a con- vict and have somebody unknown conduct a cor- respondence course in morals with you and bom- bard you with “educative letters’? The primary object of the “educative letters,” we are informed, is to prevent or restrain crim- inals from committing second offenses after they get out, thus getting themselves in again. By boring the ‘convict to death and rendering prison so distasteful that he will not want to get in a second time, the object would be as effectively ac- ccmplished—although the provocation to murder or assault might be strongly present. It remains tu be demonstrated what the result will be. Con- victs have had almost every other form of uplift practiced on them, including undergraduate den- tistry and magic lantern lectures—and have come back for second terms. It has never occurred to the uplifters that perhaps their social experiments have made convicts want to go out and commit crimes. One thing we are sure of, whether the “edu- cative letters” appeal to the victims or not. The opportunity to write them will appeal to chronic letter writers and pious folk who love to lecture the erring, and superior ones whcse supply of geod advice exceeds the local demand. == — Se BLOODSTAINED ZEPPELINS. A German officer is quoted as saying that the new type of Zeppelin airships which is being used te raid England could easily fly to New York. He appears to think that Americans would be pleased to see a few of these monsters. Before the war, Americans were intensely inter- ested in Count Zepeplin’s aeronautie wonders. But since they have been used, in the main, for the purpose of dropping high explosives at haphazard, in the dark, on unfortified places, even villages, mangling, maiming and killing noncombatants, in- cluding \women and children, it is doubtful whether they would receive a hearty welcome in this country, where women and children, and non- combatants generally, are held immune from at- tack in war. As with submarines that have sunk merchant ships without warning, killing noncombatants, men, women and babies, we would prefer that they stay on their own side of the Atlantic for the present. If they come here, after the war, it should be with crews that have not the stain of murder on their hands. = = ‘ — BROOKLYN’S SEARCHLIGHT. There's to be a billion-candle-power searchlight rubbering out from Brooklyn. It will project 50 miles and as much further as possible. Some searchlight. People on the decks of boats will declare, “Oh! See the Brooklyn searchlight!’’ It will advertise Brooklyn. Just what the advantage of advertising Brooklyn is, we don’t know. Especially at night. Perhaps the idea is to light the wayfarer home. Or maybe it is to direct Brooklyn's attention as far away from itself as possible. The light will also serve to draw the mosquitoes. Otherwise, so far as we can see, it will be a perfectly useless public nuisance. However, it’s Brooklyn’s nulsance—not ours. Every town is en- titled to maintain its own favorite form of nui- sance without interference from the outside. All that the rest of us can do is to be thankful that we are not in Brooklyn’s neighborhood. = ™ — a a LESSONS FROM THE WAR. While Germany went into amateur farming— each householder on his own small patch—France has set aside 40,000 acres of arable land and. pro- duces grain and vegetables, hay and clover, and will double that number, says the Matin. The French Government has reinstituted horse racing, but without betting, so as to increase the quality of the horses. Racing is already the vogue, efore Government officials only, at Caen, Moulins, Mont-de-Marsan, Longchamps and Chantilly. France now has, according to the official report of M. Fernand David, 614,105 horses under 3 years, and 2,317,020 horses over 3 years old, of which nearly 1,000,000 are at the front, in the army. According to the same report the Government ranches at Toulouse and Bordeaux, in the foothills of the Pyrenees and in Bretagne, have increased 10 per cent in cattle and 7 per cent in sheep during the first trial year. They are expected to produce at least a 20 per cent further increase during the second year (1916-17). M. Aristide Briand, in the Chamber, compared the French and German methods of fing&cing the war. He said in part: Germany boasts that she has borrowed money from her own citizens only. Does that mean that she does not intend paying them back, or paying them back as she sees fit? I can see no essential difference between an internal and an external indebtedness. France has also mainly borrowed from her own people; but she has also given the lend- ers negotiable paper which they can use in their daily transactions—Government notes, or, as they would call them in America, “greenbacks.” In Germany there is a great shortage of cash. Here everybody has plenty of money, as the French people have now become ac- customed to take five-franc, paper ($1 bills). Travelers in France will, in future, find less hard money and more paper money, and the Government can take its time to call in what- ever denomination it may see warrant for: whereas, if the Government. has outstanding bonds only, it must meet ‘them when due. We have patterned after the great United States, where the system works like a charm. Foreign appreciation of our greenback on which, | though it gave rise later to bizarre currency notions, our Own war was fought is gratifying. ‘ d of the Ship of State and | ee ja" they edy. tion tice. grain fror’ open. ‘ “STOP THIEF!”’ ; WESTWARD, HO!

New York Tribune: There is to be detected in certain quarters in Washington an attitude toward the railroad managers and the railroad presidents that can only be explained on the the- ' ory that here stand a few score of selfish men hugging their personal welfare to their bosoms to the damnation of the great American people. Wéll, what are the real numbers of beneficiaries represented on both sides? The number of trainmen is put at 400,000. Against these are rightly to be set not only a ._ few hundred officers, but 623,000 stockholders, about as many bondholders, and, for good meas- a ure, the countless depositors in the savings banks ® of the nation, with an item running over $1,000,- 000,000 invested in railroad securities. @ allowance for duplications in the stock and bond sts, there are vastly more of the great Ameri- - can people, the actual owners of the American With all ; . railroads, represented by the railroad managers -. + a ce re pt: Pit ae oe ey ce et eS iq “ and presidents than by the labor leaders. Now, the stockholders and bondholders are not entitled to any undue leniency by reason of their numbers. But neither are the trainmen on the a convenient theory that they outnumber the presi- dents. What is to be sought is justice—justice for the 400,000 trainmen and justice for the mil- lion and more owners of the railroads, as well as for the whole American people STICK TO ARBITRATION. Chicago Herald: The President deciares strongly in favor of arbitration. His words leave no doubt that he believes that steps must be taken by- which the future disputants in a con- troversy like the present will not have it in their power to reject so cavalierly the application of ' this sound and saving principle, He says plainly that the situation “must never be allowed to arise azein”—that means must be found to prevent its Unfortunately, the situation has arisen. Mr. Wilson holds that it is hopeless to try to im- pose arbitration as te all the matters in dispute on the employes: that the existing means have been tried and have failed; that the question, therefore, resolves itself into what practical Mesns can be found of averting the disaster of a strike. As everyone who looks beneath the surface of 4 conditions knows, the questions raised at Wash- | ington in the present controversy 0 deeper than the mere matter of an adjustment between the railroads and their employes. In so far as they | Pelate to arbitration, they touch the very founda- ~ tions of our entire industrial system and the very _ Marrow of the question of industrial peace. For ' arbitration to be discredited would, in the opinion | @ all fair thinkers, be a geuine national misfor- 3s 2 e% ae oe 73 Pas Ae ae ie ss cast hel = ~ a ' tune and would soon be recognized as such. HOURS OR WAGES? - New York World: Speaking for the commit- tee of general managers of the railroads, Elisha | Lee insists that “wages, not hours,” are involved ; in the demand of the unions for an eight-hour _ fay. “No proposal,” he declares, “has been made | to establish an eight-hour work day. The demand 1s for an eight-hour pay basis, and the employes " have emphatically made it known that they do Rot want eight hours’ work for eight hours’ pay——® _ Meal eight-hour day.” To whom have they made it known’? Certainly > Rot to the President or to the public. - tm industries in which the eight-hour day is ,established the men lave shown little desire to A case immediately in point is the paper industry, where the mills are operated on three shifts of eight hours and the men have refused point-blank to work seven days a week in order to meet the imperative demands for an in- work overtime. creased output of printing paper. Railroad employes may be different from other men. They may prefer to work nine or ten hours; but if so, that attitude is an exception to the rule. Whether the motives of the unions are sincere If the union leaders are seeking by a trick to obtain higher pay under the pretense of demanding an \ eight-hour day, that fact would be definitely estab- lished by the settlement which the President has suggested, and the railroads would be free to or not, the situation remains unchanged. reopen their case without prejudice. This is a matter in which an ounce of fact is worth a pound of assertion. FAILURE OF FEDERAL BOARD. Springfield Republican: crisis of the railroads condemns the board be- yond argument as a futility so far as the biggest of labor troubles is concerned. Created by the Newlands act solely for railroad purposes, the board has performed excellent work in the lesser disputes and clashes between the companies and their employes, and, on that account, it cannot be )}\dismissed as having no virtue and no field of use- fulness. But manifestly a great deal remains to be done when such a board in a supreme clash of interests serves merely as an avenue of ap- proach to the President of the United States, who is thereupon required to suspend his ordinary functions in order to act as a buffer between labor and capital. It is to be hoped sincerely that the hint in the President’s message to Col. George Pope of the future establishment of some form of compulsory investigation of such controversies, on the Canadian model, if not compulsory arbitra- tion itself, may be realized when the present emergency has passed. QUESTIONS TO BE SETTLED. New York Times: Questions of great interest and gravity remain to be determined in the subse- quent inquiries which must follow adoption of the President's plan. One will be the need and the justice of decreeiftg the eight-hour day in the rail- road business. The argument based on the sup- posed hardship of exacting more than eight hours of toil from railroad employes disappears. It has been made as plain as daylight that men are not agitating for eight hours of work and no more. Their real purpose is to secure higher pay. That in a great measure relieves the apprehension that the adoption of efght hours in railroad work would lead. to a strenuous agitation for the uni- versal rule of eight hours. When the President says in his telegram to Col. Pope that “the whole economic movement of the time seems to point” to the adoption of the eight-hour day, he has, it seems to us, gone somewhat too far. The chief force in the present “economic movement,” the force of which all classes of society must take notice, is the increase in the cost of living. It was to be expected that the withdrawal from pro- duction of milligns of men in Europe would have precisely that effect. But the withdrawal of workers is, in its result, the same thing as re- ducing the hours of those who still work. High- er cost of living must be the result. Similar ef- fects are noted in hundreds of trades, where pro- duction cost is mounting. The utter failure of the Federal Board of Mediation in the present ceca ne eam a am eae * .ests is not the emergent question raised by the of the matter has been reduced almost to insignifi- ) the act 4 } ——_ - "4 fal gest ON ent a ovine et val > bg Ga PRY : on" i : L3 ugg 7 wee scans) OMAR TTP IE? oy ee z | j te- aw e* » oe » a4 - * ae ee . . ppear “ee + f » ~ eed 1 se ' * - FT Baron a , . * eee = — - — AN IMPENDING CATASTROPHE. —Rollin Kirby in New York World The $50,000,000 (Government ee a yy? . ‘ vryY 7 y y PROSPECTIVE MERCHANT NAV) Philadelphia Record (Dem.): The possibility of governmental competition with private inter- passage of the shipping bill.

The fact that on July 1 last there were under construc- tion in American shipyards 1,225,000 tons of steel merchant vessels is a sufficient indication that the prospect of governmental competition is too dis- tant to be feared by private interests. Indeed, the expenditure of $50,000,000 authorized bs the new law would provide at the most about | } ( ‘ a. ) [eens eome to American registry under the act of } ) ) ; 40) ocean-going steamships of 10,000 tons each, or less than one-third the tonnage now building. In 1912 the American tonnage engaged in foreign } trade was less than 1,000,000: it now exceeds 2,000.,- C06 tons. Some of this represents foreign tonnage 1914; some of it represents transfer of American vessels from the coasting to the foreign trade. The authority given by the shipping bill to employ foreign-built vessels acquired by. the Government in coastwise commerce would, therefore, result only in replacements, not in destructive competi- tion, éven in the domestic field. " The real problem has nothing to do with com- petition at all. The question is whence is the Government to obtain the ships. The only seago- ing tonnage of any account now unemployed is that of the Teutonic Powers, of whose merchant fleet about 200,000 tons are now interned in American and other neutral ports to avoid cap- ture. Even if these vessels were for sale, and the British Government should agree to leave the vessels unmolested after their transfer to Amer- ican registry and employment in American com- merce, the terms of the law would forbid their jacquisition. No vessels of belligerent nationality ‘are permitted by the new law to be acquired until one year after the proclamation of peace. Moreover, the tonnage of these interned vessels is \only half that contemplated to be acquired under Norway, Greece, Spain, Holland and ( nearly all other maritime Powers which have }remained neutral forbid the transfer of their ship- ping to another flag. That our home shipyards are taxed to capacity will appear when it is con- sidered that the merchant tonnage now under construction there comes within 729,000 tons of the record year in Great Britain. The great naval building program will add to the other existing difficulties. Where is the Government to go in (order to obtain its contemplated merchant fleet? } AN UNTRIED EXPERIMENT. ; New York Evening Sun (Ind.): Contrary to }tbe reasons that favored the Government mer- chant fleet scheme, those against it are of the enduring sort. The enterprise-is still an unprece- dented experiment. Certain other nations have \set their Governments up in the railroad busi- | with results the less successful the more \democratic the Government, but none has for a reason hitherto risked putting the Govern- ness, ment into the ocean-carrying trade.

Cleveland Plain-Dealer: The long expected | Balkan drive is well under way, but for the mo- ) ment it is impossible to determine in which direc- tion it is headed. With amazing temerity the Bul- | €arians have assumed the offensive at many points along a 100-mile front and their successes are ad- mitted in official reports from the French and British war offices. The most amazing report ts that from Athens to the effect that a Bulgarian army, brushing aside the opposition of the allies, is within 10 miles of the Greek seaport of Kavala. Already the Bulgars are talking of capturing Sa- tontki and “sweeping the allies into the sea.”’ If Bulgaria, with her own 250,000 men and with come German and Austrian and posal- bly Turkish aid, actually endangers the position of the allies in Greece, she will have wrought little less than a miracle. Gen. Sarrail, the allies’ com- mander, has probably not less than 700,000 men at his disposal. He has been preparing his campaign for many months. Even the initial successes of the Bulgarians are difficult of comprehension. Just as the Germans struck at Verdun to antict- pate the allied offensive in France and just as Austria launched her surprising drive from the Alps in order to prevent the Italians from striking ai Gorizia; so probably the Bulgarians are at- tempting to gain the advantage which is supposed to come from getting in the first blow. The au- dacity of the attack is admirable, and its success seems to justify it. That King Ferdinand’s men can long retain the offensive is, however, almost With the Balkan campaign under way there are ‘now four wars being tought In Europe, any one ) of them comparable to the great wars of history, In Asia another great war is in progress, while a lesser war {s being waged by Turk and Briten tn } } Northern Africa and a war which would in nor mal times be considered important is being fought ‘ir the wilderness of the Interior of the Dark Con- tinent. CENTRAL POWERS CONFIDENT. New York Evening Post: At first sight the new Balkan campaign does not at all fulfill pre- dictions of an allied thrust. It is the Bulgars who are attacking. In all the official bulletins, "from Paris, London and Berlin, Czar Ferdinand’s troops are described as taking the initlative. But the lo- cation of the battle front shows plainly that od allied advance has been under way for some time, and what has come now is the collision British are now around Doiran, from which they foll back to Saloniki last winter. The Servians have advanced from Salontki to their own frontier. The allied plan is probably being carried out. Nevertheless, the fact that the Bulgars have so promptly accepted the challenge and are hitting out in true accordance with the German principle of an offensive defensive, would indicate no such disparity of strength as the estimates of the allied army around Saloniki might lead us to suppose. These estimates have run as high as 790,000 men, which is obviously exaggerated. Half a million is much nearer the truth. That, in the face of the allied move, the enemy should divert Turkish troops to the Carpathians is one sign that the cen- tral Powers feel themselves able to cope with the drive from Salontki, for some time at least. ARE THEY AFRAID? Springfield Republican: it is not yet possible to take the Saloniki campaign very seriously. When 700,000 men are in the field and lay atrees on the taking of 43 prisoners, {t Is not war as war is understood in these days. Even the pains taken to atlantis on - . a er ee : million, and whatever Teuton forces there ars report activity on a front of 150 miles serves rather to create the impression that the activity {is not very intense. “The allies have been, on the ground ever since last October. Last spring the rehabilitated Servi- an army was brought by sea to take its place in the line. There has been ample time for the massing of men and munitions and the preparation of a plan for a sudden and swift offensive such as two years of war have made familiar. The Bulgarians, on their side, staked out their position last May by seizing, with the connivance of the Greek Gov- \ernment, fortified positions along the border. if both sides or either side were in deadly earriest, things would smash at once. Instead each day brings its driblet of news of cautious skirmishing, played up to the utmost. It reminds one of those encounters of boyhood when one's afraid and the other daasn't. (FREAT POSSIBILITIES. Detroit Free Press: The Balkan campafizn ‘ts likely to be a big one and momentous. Ac- cepting the estimate that the allies have tn the Saloniki region 700,000 men and assuming that the Teutons have somewhere near an adequate de- fense force, the operations are likely to take on the continuous line, frontal attack form, which exists in France and along the eastern Buropean front, rather than the guise they have assumed in Ar- menia and Mesopotamia. The peninsgula is te be one of the major flelds of operations. How important the campaign is to the Germans may be Judged in part from the tmpressment of Ottoman troops into the service at this potnt. With the Russians in posseasion of most of Ar. menia and pressing constantly on the Astatic de- fense lines of the Turks, with a rebellion rampant in Arabia, with Great “ritain ready to attack from Egypt and the south, ff ‘opportunity offers, the Government in Constantinopi>.calls large ‘detach- ments of some of its best soiffers across the | Hellespont to fight the battle of {te-confederate. It is not easy to conjecture what preteure may have been brought to bear on the porte to get this help, but Berlin must have considered the need in-. perative and her action must have been deapetic. Bulgaria also has been forced to the front, and the guarantee to Greece by the Teutons that the Bulb garians would be kept off her territories has heen violated. So far as the Bulgarians are concesned, motives of self-preservation are suffictent to ex- plain thei? reluctant activity. a. The! 4 CAMPAIGN IN ITSELF. + New York Evening Post: Gen. Garrafl’s task is not an easy one, unless Rumania steps tn and. in conjunction with Russia, throws half a million men in the allied scale. Rumors speak of an ‘al. lied army of nearly 700,000 men under Sarrall* command. That is probably exaggerated.

The guests —#bout 300 persons—went from the re- sorts all along the coast—Newport, Jamestown, Saunderstown, Block Island, from the “Torpedo Station,”’ the War College and.Fort Adams, all nearby. Mrs. Lambert's costume again was one of the most conspicuous in that as- semblage that boasts some of the best- Greased women in the cotntry. It must heve been very much like the one she wore at the Black and White ball at the St. Louls Country Club last winter, when she went as the ‘Post-Dispatch’ and won a prize. This time, however, she was.the “Associated Press.’’ She wore a white satin dress printed with head lines from various papers. Mrs. C. Drummond Jones was a Turkish lady, 80 was her sister, Miss Clara Busch. Mr. Jones was an art student from the Latin _ Quarter.

Now, this is exactly what the nations which are fighting Germany do not mean shall happen. They are resolved that Germany shall not be able to establish the fact that she can, when she chooses, invade her industrial rivals’ lands, destroy their industrial machinery, and then retire to her own soil without suffering any other penalty than the costs of the war, while they have to bear both the costs of the war, on their side, and the costs of rebuilding their plants. Lorraine Iron, Further than this, the German suc- cess in the early part of the war disclosed a German determination to annex the industrial districts of France, Belgium and Poland. The great iron deposits of France are ~ithin sight of the German frontier about Briey, northwest of Metz. In 1870 Germany took a large portion of the Lorraine iron fields. She took all that were then Known. Since then discovery has proved that the best deposits were in French soil. Accord- ingly Germany at the outset of the war boldly affirmed her purpose to annex the Briey iron districts. This was merely an extension of old German policy. in 1815, at the se°- end Congress of Vienna, after Napo- leon had been defeated and sent i she took the coal district things territorially as they were in| about the town of Saar- which had been left Lo in the first Vienna agrec- ment.

France is badly Hroviind with coal. In taking het best coal de- posits in 1815 Germany pushed France out of the race for industrial suprem acy in the great years of development that came in the nineteenth centuiy.

The population of the German districts is practically entirely Slav. This is an old province of Poland, which was won away from the Slavs far back in history, conquered for Prussia by Frederick the Great any become one of the most prosperous por- tions of the new industrial Germany. But the settled policy of Russia is to rescue from German hands the Slav Pupulations. which Germany holds on eastern frontiers. Moreover, Germany has destroyed all the great industrial plants of Poland. Wherefore Russian policy and purpose look forward to in- corporating the Silesian districts in their new Poland, which is to be made out of their old Polish provinces and German and Austrian Polish districts. If Ger- many were to lose all her tron and coal districts on the Alsace-Lorraine. fron- tier, and all those on her Russian fron- tier, she would be very gravely weak- ened as an industrial nation. She would only consent to such sacrifices only when there was no longer any hope of resistance, and not while her armies were standing outside German soil at the Vistula and the Meuse. Damage to British Shipping. A third detail may be mentioned. By her submarine war Germany has inflicted great damage upon allied shipping, particularly British. If peace came now, British shippirg would not have the same relative advantage over German that it had before the war. Just as Germany has destroyed much of the industrial sys- tem of-her continental rivals she has gained ground in the race with Brit- ish for shipping supremacy by keep- ing her commercial fleets in home or neutral ports and sending her subma- Tines out to prey on British ship- ping. Now, it is a settled article of Brit- ish faith that at the end of the war Germany will have to make good out of German shipping the losses in- flicted upon her enemies by subma- rines. But this is not the concession that Germany would. be willing to make while she was still able to hold back allied armies from her own frontiers. Again, she has by her war tactics prepared a great advantage for herself, if peace should come on any basis save that which would be created by her complete downfall. Germany’s Advantage Today. To put it baldly: In two years of war Germany has wrecked the factory and industrial machinery and plants of France and Belgium and of Russian Po- land; she has very seriously ‘crippled | the shipping resources of her only con- siderable rival on the seas. In doing al! this she has been able to preserve her machinery intact and her commer- cial fleets have not suffered propor- tionately to the British. Now, if peace came tomorrow, her factories, her plents, her shipping, would be, with re- lation to world commerce, in a far bet- ter position than they were in August, 1914. Like all the other great nations, she would have incurred a vast debt, but, while she had crippled their means of paying the debt, she would have pre- served hers. : All this was not immediately sercehvall by the allies. They have been learning very slowly what Germany has actually been doing. They have begun now, by their economic conferences, to take steps to provide a joint agreement which will exclude Germany from their com- bined markets by tariff walls, which will give preference to allies. Unques- ticnably the same system will be ‘fol- lewed with reference to their colonies; that is, that the British empire and the French home and colonial territories will each give the motherland a prefer- ence in its markets. The Resolve to Go On, This is a defensive step, to meet the situation which German armies have created by their activities in Belgium, in France and in Poland. But it is fully recognized that this will not be enough. By victorious wars Germany has possessed herself of the coal and iron fields of France, the iron and lead regions of Sile- sia, which are included in district whose population is Slav. Now, i ever, France and Russia must get these districts, and they mean to get them. But to get them means to de- feat Germany in the field as she has nat yet been defeated, and as there is no prospect at the present moment that she can be defeated this year or perhaps next. Remember that the allies have greater numbers, greater wealth, the control of the seas, they have over- taken Germany in the matter of shells and munitions, they have cop- led all the devices that she had alone at the outset of the struggle. Then they had only superior latent re- sources. They are satisfied now that the only question now is how lIong it will take, they are equally satis- ; fied that it will be cheaper in the end to go on now until they have broken the economic and industrial advantages Germany has secured for herself by this and other wars, than to stop now and let Germany realize on her campaigns, by putting her machinery to work, hese ave to reconstr “a renee is another aspect that pirat be considered.

This is not necessarily true and re- peated experiments should seem to clearly show that the reason why most thin people stay thin is because they are able“te assimilate only a small portion of the fleshmaking nourishment in their food. Most thin people eat heartily enough and put in their stomachs from four to six pounds of good, solid fat-making food every day, but do not gain in weight one ounce, while on the other hand many of the plump, chunky folks eat very lightly, and _ still keep gaining all the time. This is because the plump, well-developed people are constantly ab- sorbing all the fat and fleshmeking nourishment in their food, while the thin folks are so constituted that the fat and flesh in their food just stays in their intestines until it leaves their body as waste. You can make thin people take on flesh and increase in weight just as soon as you can cure this assimilative defect and get their blood to accept 100 per cent of their food's nourishment. This ts done in many cases by fol- lowing the simple plan of eating a Sar- gol tablet with each meal. Sargol, while widely know as a flesh builder, does not in reality build flesh of itself, but acts as an assimilative aid to s0 prepare the fats in the meal you have just eaten that your system can readily absordb them. Sar- go! is used to stop food waste and to turn the fat in your food into fat on your body. From 10 to 25 pounds of solid, healthy flesh has been aded in just a few weeks tn this way and the system is both harmiess and inexpensive. A Minnesota school teacher after us- tng four boxes of Sargo! reports a gain of 25 pounds and states she never looked or felt nearly so well. *10> Water Power Washing Machine If you place an erder for an TT Wringing Machine Fr trial } our my no obligation to bu 4,00 ae your old washer ta a as first pay- ment, balance in Easy Monthly Terms This offer for limited time only.

RES ome: y ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH I storing to the Slav world, either «0 an autonomous Poland or a _ Rus- siar Poland what was taken away by the partitions. Morally it wouw: be easily justifiable, for, unless one subscribes to the doctrine that ihe German .is a superior being, there 15 no reason why » 900,000 Germais i should benefit at the expense of 14.- | 000,000 Slavs. But to take 6,000,000 people from Prus- sia would be to reduce by much her comparative size in Germany, and by taking East Prussia it would take that rertion of the Prussian population, 'vhich has contributed most to giving rrodern Germany its unpopularity out- , side its frontiers. France expects to take upward of 2,000,000, chiefly the in- (habitants of the former French terri- I te ry in Alsace anc Lorraine. To reduce | Germany by %,u00,000, to take her in- dustrial regions on her two frontiers, to tuke her great seaports on the Bal- ' tic and her hold upon the lower Vistula, would not be Hterally to crush Ger- many, but it would be a iong step it this direction. Moreover, no one can fail to perceive that it is just this course that is cails Incoming more likely, as ‘he allies riore and more clearly perceive the ex- iint of German preparation for this iwar, the marvelous fashion in. wiiich 'Gemany used her armies to dispose of the plants of her neighbors and her suomarines to strike the British com- nercial fleet.

The thing Americans do not perceive with sufficient clarity is that peace now Nculd be a great German victory, for reasons Which I have indicated, and that it is precisely for these reasons that Germany is again and again bidding for peuce on the basis of the ‘map of Llurope.”’ If in addition to escaping invasion and the destruction of her in- l plants and any payment through her shipping for the losses of the British, Germany could retain her hold upon Constantinople, her rvad to Asia Minor, who would have won the war, even. if she acquired not a foot of territory in Belgium, France or even in Poland. In due course of time Austria, Bul- Zaria, Servia would pass under complete German domination, as all three have Steadily tended to pass since the war began. Rumania and Greece would necessarily follow the line they could not avoid. Troin Hamburg to Begdad, the German railroad would run inter- ruptedly and German effort would in due course of time reach Suez, cross into Egypt and even approach India. As for the development cf all these regions, richly mineralized, Germany would keep ier great industrial piant undisturbed by war. Her soldiers. like our own, aft- er the Civil War, would move on out- werd into this greater Germany, as | Grant's soldiers inoved into the Far | West. Given the genius for organiza- | l'on which Germany has already shown, , she would in no distant time be abso- }lutely master alike of tne continent of | urope and the African shores of the | Mediterranean. Will Vield Only te Great Defeat. Now. the progress of the war has nec- essavrily revealed the whole German (plan. What millions in France, Russia dustria i t and Britain now see was unknown to them two short years ago, or German | purposes Seemed too grandiose to chal- lenge sensible consideration. What seemed then a dream has now become almost a solid fact; it will become a permanent fact, unless a victory over Germany is achieved which will destro; the foundations of this German scheme. such a victory is a matter of years, rather than months. Napoleon was able to fight all Europe with no _ stronger allies or weaker enemies than Germany has now from 1805 until 1814. He did suc- ceed in dividing his foes frequently, as Germany has not, but it took 10 years to get to the end of Napoleonic dream. To suppose that Germany, with so much of her ambition achieved, will surrender the vital portions of it un- til she has met disasters that com- pare with Moscow and Leipsic is pre- posterous. To suppose that the al- lies, now satisfied that they can de- stroy the German edifice, will stop now on terms that will insure the German future is equally absurd. At the Rhine and the Oder Germany may resign Alsace-Lorraine, Southern Milesia, perhaps Posen and the Prus- sias, but she is not likely to resign any part of them at the Somme, the Sambre or the Meuse in the west, or along the Niemen, Beresina or Vis- tula in the east. 4 Four Vears’' War. The allies have first by fighting to divest Germany of what she has con- quered in-this war, particularly of } her conquests from the Danube to the Golden Horn. They have then to rescue Northern France, Belgium and Poland. And Germany as she re- treats will shorten her lines, not im- possibly keeping step with her de- cline of numbers. To suppose that the end the allies mean to attain can be attained this year or next seems to me unreasonable To euppose that, knowing or believing that they can attain it, and perceiving what the cost to them will be if they do not attain it, they will stop short of it seems to me equally incredible. And this is why I share the belief that is held in many quarters abroad, that the war will continue into 1918, that it will be a four-year war, and that it will end inside German fron- tiers.

German Forces Repeatedly _ Repulsed on the Somme and at Verdun — British Claim Additional Advances LONDON, Aug. 26.—Fighting continues violently on all the battle fronts in Eu- rope, but no notable successes are chron- icled. France and the region north of Saloniki have seen the most intense ac- tivity, and in both fields the initiative generally has been with the central Powers.

German efforts were especially strong at Thiep- + val, Guillemont and Maurepas, north of ' the Somme, and on the:right bank of the Meuse before Verdun. The British claim an additional ad- vance near the Mouquet farm. German trenches on a front of 400 yards along the Courcelette-Thiepval road were oc- cupied.

WAS TOWN PROMOTER Gave Expensive Dinner to East- ern Vocalist for Whom He Obtained Divorce. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. |} tor Solomon E. Eronson, who was ar- rested today on a warrant charging him + the Finley Building and Loan Asso- with embezzlement of funds of Clation, of which he has been secre- tary for 17 years, says he has not had time to think about withdrawing as a candidate for re-election on the Re- publican ticket, and is not prepared to say whether he will. Thomas Dye of Sparta, Christian County’s representative on the Sena- torial Committee, said Bronson should resigri, and let the committee name another candidate. If Bronson re- fuses to resign, he said, the commit- tee should ask his resignation. The committee has not organized, and has no chairman. Dye would not say he would take it upon himself to call a meeting of the committee. The sentiment generally expressed in the town is that Bronson, although the presumption of innocence ob- tains until he is proven” guilty. should, under the circumstances. Spare his party embarrassment by withdrawing. Bronson’'s service as Senator for the last four years has been so sat- isfactory that he was renominated without opposition, and his re-elec- tion was considered so certain that the Democrats did not nominate a candidate against him. Explains Alleged Shortage. Following his arrest today Bronson was asked to explain the alleged shortage of $29,576.25, reported by in- spectors of the State Building and Loan Department. He said that when he is credited with matured loans which a reaudit will show to have been charged off no shortage will exist. He declined to explain how the matured loans would account for the discrepancy. O. T. Hamlin of Springfield, Bron- son's brother-in-law, and one of his attorneys, declined to make a detailed Statement of Bronson’'s affairs, but said that when the accounts are properly checked everything will be found all right. The warrant on which Bronson was arrested was sworn out before Jus- tice D. F. Burges, by D.-F. Hedgzg- peth, cashier of Ozark Savings Bank It charged embezzlement of $6000 during the last three years. It was served by Constable Loman, who ac- companied Bronson while he was getting bondsmen. The bond of $1000 was signed by J. C. Rogers, cashier and Johr. S. Taylor, assistant cashier o1 the Christian County Bank, W. L. Woody, manager of the Christian County Telephone Co., and J. A. Kerr, a farmer. Medgpeth did not allege embez- zlement extending further back than three years because there is uncer- tainty as to the Hiabillty of Bron- son’s bondsmen for shortages prior to three years ago, and Hedgpeth preferred to keep the crimtnal pro- cedure within the same period. A letter written by Hedgpeth to Morris G. Gordon, State Supervisor of Buildings and Loans, started the investigation which resulted in Bronson's arrest. Hedgpeth is a stockholder in the Building and Loan Association. His stock was expected to mature in 100 months. It was 120 months maturing. On April 1 he was entitled to $1000. He asked Bron- son about it several times. Bronson told him he would have to wait until some loans were closed up. Hedg- peth wrote to Gordon. Inspector Big- bee was sent. He reported a short- age of $8000. This was communi- cated by Gordon to H. F. Davis, pres- ident of the association. He called a meeting of the Board of Directors. Bronson said it was purely a matter of bookkeeping, and promised to straighten out the books. Inspectors Find Shortage. Recently it became evident that Bron- son was not adjusting his accounts and Inspector Bigbee and Hileman were sent here. On their report that there was a shortage of $29,576.58, Supervisor Gordon and Assistant Attorney-General Ewing came here. A meeting of directors and bendsmen was held. Bronson resigned and John Glenn Jr. was appointed to succeed him. Bronson’s bond is $200, renewed each year. Ewing ts sald to hive told bondsmen that they would be liable only on bonds of the last three years, aggregating $6000. Local attorneys think lHiability exists under the bonds for the 13 years over which the shortage is alleged to have spread. Bronson ms a home and stock in various enterprises, but doubt fs ex- pressed whether he will be able to re- imburse his bondsmen to any extent. Rivalry of the three local banks is a factor tn the situation and has an effect on public sentiment.

Joseph Arlounge, 4 years old, a pro- fessional handler of explosives, was killed by an unexpected dynamite blast 4:45 quarry of the Continental Portland Ce- at near the yesterday afternoon, ment Co., at Continental. St. Louis County, six miles south of the city Im- its. year-old Six other men, and Arlounge’s 10- daughter, known as Tommy, were injured, The infured men are George Robin- son, 61 years old, of Pilot Knob, Mo., foreman of the quarry; Joseph Som- mer, 43, of 906 Lemay Ferry road; Tony Grasso, 37; Sam Mango, 21: Pe- ter Modika, 53, and Alfred Trasso, 36, all of Continental. All suffered burns and cuts on the head and upper part of the body, and in some cases parti- cles of stone and dirt were imbeded in the flesh. All were taken to Alex- ian .‘rothers’ Hospital, 3929 South Broadway, and were placed under the influence of morphine, according to the physician in charge. Little “Tommy” was sitting 25 feet from her father, and her eyes were injured and her face burned. She is at her home in Continental. She is one of five children in the Arlounge family. Mrs. Josephine Arlounge, who was 60 feet away from the scene of the acci- dent, with her daughter Rose, 20 months old, saw her husband blown into the air, and leaving her child, she ran to him and poured a bucket of drinking water on his clothing, which was burn- ing. He was at that time dead, his neck having been broken and the top of his head blown off. Was Whittling Dynamite. The accident occurred while Ar- lounge was carrving on the usual pre- paration made by the cement company’s en:ployes for a blast of rock. The blast was to be set off at 9 o'clock this morning, and he was filling the last of 2? holes with shredded, flaky dyna- mite. He was sitting on a box at the edge of the hole, whittling the dyna- mite from a stick into the hole—a pro- cess which takes about an hour and a talf for each hole, and which had al- ready been finished at the 21 other holes. The holes were drilled to a depth of 81 feet, and were six inches in diameter. They were 20 feet apart, and 25 feet from the edge of the quarry. Fach held several hundred pounds of dynamite, and 200 pounds of the explosive had been whittled into the twenty-second hole, flling it about one-fifth full. The com- pany’s method of blasting rock and extending its quarry is to set off simultaneously the dynamite tin a series of such holes. Witnesses at the coroner’s inquest, last night, said the greatest care was taken tn filling these holes, and that no percussion cap was attached until the Llast was ready to be set off. A copper wire extends to the bottom of each hole, but witnesses sald this wire was not “alive” at the time of the accident. Cause of Explosion Unknown, Jacob Josse, manager of the plant, testified that the dynamite used was of a fine quality, and that he be- lieved it could not be set off without a percussion cap and an electric cur- rent. Nevertheless, it was set off, in sOme manner, while the only appar- ent pressure or friction was that caused by the sifting down of the dynamite, a distance of some 60 feat. on that which had already fallen in- to the hole. Witnesses said the blast was di- rected upward, whereas tits force would normally be sidewise. It was for this reason that the injury to those above was so severe, and it was also for this reason, it is he- lieved, that the other 21 holes, con- taining hundreds of pounds of the explosive, were not set off. Boxes containing 800 pounds of dynamite, in sticks 5 inches itn diameter, were near the scene of the accident, but were not set off A verdict of “unavoidable accident” was the result of the Coroner's Inquest. Arlounge had worked for five years as a “powder man” for the cement com- pany. The usual pay in such work, em- ployes of the company said, is 4a day. $2000 JEWEL THEFT REPORTED Guest In Alton Home Loses Diamond Earrings and Hings.

BULLET FIRED AT FLEEING PRISONER AILS MAN IN CAR Another Wounded When Patrol- man Shoots in Front of Po- lice Headquarters. FUGITIVE ALSO IS_ HIT Matthew Svehla, Struck in Head, Dies in Ambulance—Prisoner Only a Suspect. Matthew Svehla, 53 vears old, of 2687 California avenue, a passenger on a southbound Tower Grove car. was killed in front of police headquarters at 3:45 o’clock bv afternoon a re- volver bullet fired by Patrolman James vesterday Gallagher at an escaping prisoner. Otto J. 19, of 6426 avenué, who was sitting in a seat be- Burian, Magnolla hind Svehla, was wounded in the chin. It supposed that the bullet which struck the left side of the forehead and emerged below the ear, also struck Burian. A second bullet fired by Gallagher struck the fugitive, Edwin DePass, in the right thigh and brought him down on the city hall lawn Svehla died in ar ambulance on the way to the city hespital without regaining conscious- ness. DePass and Burian were taken to the city dispensary in a patrol wagon and from there to the city hospital, whence Burian later was sent home. Prisoner Only a Suspect. DePass was one of nine men who had been arrested In a police investigation of the robbery of a downtown pool hall, a month ago, In which several yards of cleth were stolen. Gallagher, police of- ficials say, did not know the naturé of the charge against the man, but “used his own judgment” in firing and had rensons to assume that the charge was * is Svehla on right serious.” Gallagher is what known as ? sie nal officer of patrolman assigned to accompany a patrol wagon ard tnke charge of the prisoners it may) contain. In the afternoon he had beon instructed to take DePass and (wo other men from the headquart:is holdover to the dispensary to te treated for the drug habit. They had returned and the wagon was being unloaded in a driveway at the sta- tion when DePass made his break for liberty. Gallagher, in his formal report to Capt. O’Brien, said that DePass was the last of the three to step out of the wagon. As the man darted arouad the wagon and out into Twelfih street, the patrolman called to him to halt. The chauffeur grabbed the oth- er prisoners and Gallagher started !n pursuit of DePass. Patrolman Tells Story. “As I emerged from the alley or driveway,” Gallagher said in the re- port, “DePass was 30 feet ahead of me and runnine northwest. He was on the east side of the car track when I called to him to halt again, and he kept running. I fired one snot low, but is missed.” It was not until he had pulled ihe trigger the first time, he says, nat he saw the approaching street car Svelah was sitting on the fifth seat from the front on the left side of ire car. To his right In the same was Mrs. Mildred Smith of 2729 All.n avenue, wife of a patrolman. Burtan was sitting directly behind M*?: Smith. The car was crowded, many passengers standing. Svelah’s head fell on Mrs. Smith's shoulder. She screamed and became hysterical. The car was stopped at Clark avenuegand the injured ™on were taken off. Mrs. Smith was taken to a nearby residence where she wis attended by a physician. Widow Identifies Body. Svehla’s body was taken to the morgue. He was a baker employed at the Busy Bee candy store, 417 North Seventh street, and his body was first identified by the cashier of the store and later by his widow. Mrs. Svehla went from the morgue to Capt. O’Brien’s office to ask how the accident happened. Gallagher was too excited, when re- porters first asked him about the shooting, to say anything more than “It was purely accidental; I didn't see the car coming.” He was relieved from duty for the day and sent home, after he had composed himself enough to write out his report. “It is very deplorable,” Capt. O’Brien said. when asked for a statement. He went on to say that it Is a signal of- ficef’s duty to guard his prisoners and he ie held responstble for their safe-keeping Patroimen and Firearms. Asked what restrictions are put upon the use of firearms by police- men, especially on a busy street in the daytime, the Captain replied that the police manual prescribes a reason- able amount of care and it Lecomes ler@ely a matter of the officer's own Judgment when to shoot De Pass was one of nine men afr- rested Friday night tn the basement of the court house In the burglary investigation. Earlier the same day two other men, Charles and Albert Conrad, were arrested in connection with the same affair. Charles ran and was pursued to Ninth and Chest- nut streets, where Patrolman Engel- ken shot him in the ankle. Svehla came to. St. Louls from Bo- hemia and was married here in 1904. He had no children. Gallagher told Capt. O’Brien he would Like to pey the funeral expenses, + re a IKILLED BY BULLET FIRED AT PRISONER MATT IEW SVEHLA, ee eS eee SENATOR CULBERSON DEFEATS COLQUITT IN TEXAS PRIMARY Supporter of President Remained in Washington While Rival Stumped the State.

GUNGRESS PRESIDENT TURNS TO FOR HELP EMPLOYERS REJECT WHITE HOUSE PROPOSALS Executive Committee Will See President Mon- day Morning to Announce Decision Several Charge He Is Trying to “Duck” or Delay the Issue, By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—The threatened railway strike took on such a grave aspect today that President Wilson turned toward Congress for a solution of the problem, Suddenly this afternoon when it became known that the rail- road executives were unanimous in their refusal to accept his plan of settlement, President Wilson personally went to the Cap- itol and laid before Majority Leader Kern of the Senate and Sen- ator Newlands, Chairman of the committee of Interstate Com- meree, the statement of the railway heads that Congress must cuarantee some source of added demands of their employes. How this should be accomplished President Wilson did not suggest. Im- mediateiy afterward Senators began discussing proposals to have Congress record iteelf in favor of a rate increase. No arrangements were made today for the President to address Congress on the subject, but it was considered likely that he might do ao during the coming week if the situation continued critical. Tonight the railway executives finished framing their answer to President Wil- son's plan and notified the White House they were ready. President Wilson sent word he would prefer to aee them Mon- day morning at 10 o'clock. The brotherhood leaders, after be- ing in meeting most of the day, ad- journed to 10 o'clock tomorrow morniag. Many of them left town tonight Pute It Up to Employes, refusal of the railway execu- accept the President's plan, including concession of the %-hour day, and proposing a counter plan such as previously has been outlined, will put the next move up to the brotherhood leaders. It probably will be communicated to them ofmfi- elally Monday after President Wil- eon has heard It from the executives. Meanwhile some development of congressional action ts ex- pected and will depend on the out- come of the next steps between the employers and employes. The executives held several meet- ings during the day, but no change resulted in the position they took last night when they approved a rough draft of their reply to Prest- dent Wilson. Tt wae 6:80 tontaht when the committee of eight, which has the negotiations, an- nounced that they had asked for a conference with President Wilson and awaited his pleasure. After a two-hours’ watt the esecutives an- nd&uneed that President Wilson had informed them he would prefer not to see them tontaht The situation as summed up late to- night by those In close touch with it wae thie: President Wileon haa seen the pub- lished reports of the reply the execu- tives will make to him Monday and does not wish to accept It. It would not eur- prise those in the confidence of the railroad offictalea to have him make «@ counter proposal at that time, retaining his original proposition for an elgh-hour day, but offering the roade aa compen- sation congressional assurances of «a freight rat4 increase and a commission to aattia further diapute. Deadlock Ia Indicated. Amone the executives tontaht 1 clean ly wae evident that such a counter proposal probably would not be acecept- ed. Whether they would receive t from President Wilson and take it under con- atderation for a few daye wae not at ali certain, but te witimate rejection wae forecast generality. The poesttion of the men fe not clear. The tives to possible handled ! |= revenue if they are to meet the proposal that would direct the commis: sion to grant another Increase. The executives appear confident that public opinion—a quantity in the equa- tion that they have not overlooked— will be with them in their Insi#tence upon the principle of arbitration and thelr opposition to an eight-hour day. Won't Accept &-Heur Day. The executives’ reply will be divided into argument and statement of their position. The statement will show that they do not accept the eight-hour day with pay for 10 hours as demanded by the men; that they maintain this de- mand really is one for an tnerease in wages, and that a question of a wage Increase is a matter of arbitration and for settlement in no other way. It will suggest the creation of a commission to arbitrate this wage question or dele * gation of power to the Interstate Com- mission to arbitrate, It would make arbitration retroactive and the would pledge themesives fund to care for back wages Three things are cited tives to back up this poal ip that many of the big shippers of ; country have declared themessives op- pored to an abandonment eof arbitra- tion and have Insisted that ean eight- hour day muet not be granted.

Speaking of the situation categori- cally, Sendtor Newlands « said Con- gress had power to direct the Inter- state Commerce Commission to increase rates or lower them. A suggestion has been made, it was - reported, that Congress might pass the pending bill to increase the mem- bership of the Interstate Commerce Commission from seven to nine and attach to it an amendment expressing t®e sense of Congress that the rail- roads should have an increase in freight rates if they accept an eight- hour workday. Such expression by Congress would amount to directing the commission to grant an increase. Whether such action would satisfy the railroads, Senator Newlands paid he had no idea, Justification for Increase. “as a matter of fact, the law now specifically states,” said ator New- lands, “that in fixing railroad rates the Interstate Commerce Commission must take into consideration all operating expenes and an increase in wages attendant upon 4 shortening of the railroad work day would _gmount to an increase in operating expense.” Regardless of the outcome of Presi- dent Wilson's negotiations, it was indl- cated that few of the brotherhood lead- ers probably would remain here longer than Monday. The heads of the four brotherhoods and their vice presidents, however, probably will remain indefi- nitely if a settlement of the dispute is not reached soon, The head of each or- ganization met with his vice presidents tonight and discussed tentative plans for a strike. The manner in which the Fed- eral Goverriment has been injected into the situation would make it almost im- perative, it is thought, that any strike be directed from here. As the brotherhool men saw the sit vation tonight, only two steps could pre- vent-a walkout. Those are for the rall- ~ soads to withdraw their insistence upon arbitration for all of the demands of the men, or for the Government to take «ver the railroads for operation during the strike. Lfttie confidence was expressed that the railroad heads would recede, but the men professed to see great hopes of Government operation of the ‘ines, par- ticulary after the President's visit to Congress. Just what these hopes were bused upon was not apparent. It a strike should come, it was learned tonight, 1t will not becotne operative for nbcut a week. The brothernacod men, | while they have tha right to declare a etrike here, prehably would not do so until the representatives leaving to- vay and tomorrow had talked over the situation with their local curnmittees Some of them coulg not reach home in lees than five days. Considering the strain under which they were waiting, the employes’ repre- sentatives were remarkably calm today. No demonstrations occurred at any of their three meetings. The brotherhood heads did not address any of the meet- ings. They promised to~ ae Senator’s declaration that the proposed dyestuffs tariff is undemocratic. The Senator’s attitude toward the bill, he said, savored of “heroics.” Senator Underwood replied by saying if his con- duct was to be accepted as a proper basis of party criticism of him, he was willing hereafter to stand alone, "You dare to lecture me,” said the former House leader, “because I dare to repudiate a part of your bill that is a stench in the nostrils of the Demo- cratic party. I approve of the Finaypce Committee’s legislation on this bill in the main, but I know no reason why the Finance Committee should see fit to arrogate to itself the right to dictate to others.”’ Underwood said it was conceded that no binding resolution was adopted by the caucus on the bill and that if there had been one and he had agreed to it, he would stand by it and “bow his neck.” He had bowed unwillingly re- cently, he said, to a binding caucus on the immigration bill. The revenue bill, he declared, had been “concocted by certain gentlemen in the Senate trying ty dictate to this side of the house what it shall do.” Referring to dyestuffs schedule in the bill, Senator Underwood said: “This ts a stench in the nostrils of those who have been fighting for Democratic prin- ciples for the past 100 years. If the Democratic Senators had attempted to write a Republican tariff bill so far as this particular schedule is concerned they could not have done @ more com- plete job. “Tf it was the intention of the Demo- cratic caucus to bind Senators to that provision in the bill, it should have been done under the rules of the Democratic caucus. If it had been so, I should determine whether I would separate my- self permanently from the party or bow to the desecration of it.”’ Senator Williams, in charge of the in- come tax section of the Dill, opposed the Underwood amendment and Sen- ators Oliver, O’Gorman and Thomas spoke in favor of it. , CHICAGO, Aug. 2%6.—Meteoric the horizon, were observed throughout the middle west, of light across the sky were ot night, The Postal Telegraph Co. here pered by the electrical currents dreds of miles about Chicago. ported that its east avd north particular were affected by é¢ rents were so strong that its Wire chiefs of each telegraph ‘ ANS cx. , SA ‘ — Ss ‘AN , . ~~ 4 MING dss Se HEHE ' ; r) ] ' ry fH Up. 4 tif j Wis ff Y VM) Y, LY, J//}i2?

No soldier, no wounded -man, no munition worker, no German woman, no German child ix the towns will suffer hunger through the fault of the peasant women if the seriousness of the sit- uation is clear to them. Help can be given only by good will, intelli- gent perception and recognition of the danger that threatens every Ger- man, man, woman and child, if the enemy's starvation plan should suc- ceed. “Restrictions everywhere are nec- essary, and all the more necessary the longer the war lasts.

PREMEN, via London, Aug. 2%.—The celebration of the return yesterday ot the submarine Deutschland to this port after its voyage to the United States, was kept up until long after midnight. In the early hours of this morning the streets, especially those near the historic town hall, were still thronged with crowds waiting for Capt. Paul Koentg and his crew. They broke out in wild cheering whenever men from. the Deutschland were visible. During the evcning Capt. Koenig was ohliged to make innumerable speeches. He was on the verge of exhaustion when he retired, with the crowd still clam- oring for him and singing ‘‘Deutschland Uber Alles.’’ To the Associated Press correspond- ent the captain reiterated his great sat- isfaction at the treatment accorded him at Baltimore. ‘“‘Send the American peo- ple my best love,’ he said. ‘“‘They are £000 sportsmen. They treated me finely.’’ On being asked when he was likely to sail on another voyage the captain said he did not know, but that it would be as soon as possible. The homeward trip was without un- usual tneidents. No British warships were seen, the captain said, after he left American territorial waters. nh -_——_— ROUTE OF RETURN TRIP OF VESSEL IS KEPT SECRET By KARL H. VON WIEGAND. BERLIN, by wireless to Sayville, Aug. 26.—The Deutschland’s arrival was celebrated throughout Germany like a national victory. Many of the cities were beflagged, and in Bremen especial- ly it was made a festival. Of the 4200 miles traveled, the vessel Was submerged for only 100 miles. Capt. Koenig reports that no less than eight enemy warships and a numerous small patrol fleet were laying for the Deutschland off the Chesapeake Bay, despite which the submersible freighter got through. There was rough, heavy weather the greater part of the way across the Atlantic. There was a heavy fog off the English coast and a heavy sea in the North Sea, where the waves continually washed over the Deutsch- lend, testing her seagoing qualities to the utmost. Her machinery worked with- out a hitch throughout the entire voy- age. One of the first telegrams to arrive was from the Kaiser, followed by one from the President of the Reichstag, and then came those from the notables of the state and municipal authorities ali over the country. The route by which the Deutschland came has been kept a secret, and it is not known whether she came through the English Channel, around the Ork- nevs or through the Finland Firth. Referring to mercantile submarines after the close of the war, Herr Heine- an interview, said: “Only for- eign critics are worrying about. that question, since they contend that In time of peace the income from such vessels will not cover the cost. ‘That worry should be left to the men who put their money and energy into the Deutschland scheme. It is to be as- sumed that they have their own ideas about the future development of sub- marines. They know exactly what they want and what they can do.” A proposition was made to Herr Loh- mann to run a Deutschland submarine excursion to the North Cape.* ken, in in order to buy up all butter, egges, vegetables, etc. that can be disposed within the country, and use them to feed the army and the poorer families in the big towns. “Little can be acccemplisied by force or by continual increase in prices which have already become exorbitant for many of the poorer families.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 26.—First Chief Carranza will issue within a few days a call for a general con- vention of elected delegates, r@pre- senting all states of the Republic, to meet at Queretaro, probably in Octo- ber, to ratify decrees issued by him. be created Se ee These embody constitutional and other reforms promulgated in pur- gsuance of the objects of the revolu- tion. This convention will precede the presidential election. e In all probability the call for the convention will not be issued until Carranza establishes the temporary capital at Dolores-Hidalgo, owing to his desire that it shall proceed from the historic cradle of Mexican lib- erty. Under consideration in the Depart- ment of Finance is a plan for main- taining the value of the present pa- per peso at 20 centavos, Mexican gold, by transferring the rote-issu- ing power from the Government to banks of issue. It has been proposed that banks shall be guaranteed by deposits of. the Government of $20,- 000,000 gold for each $100,000,000 of bank notes, or that in Heu of deposits sufficient revenues to cover the is- sue shall be assigned to the banks.

Water Commissioner Wall said last night that he had consulted City Bacteriologist Baldwin yesterday aft- ernoon, and the latter had informed him that ther is no reason fo~ alarm in the condition of city water gener- ally. Commissioner Wall said the city bacteriologist had examined 25 samples of water from hydrants, and only three showed indications of colon bacilll. The Water Commissioner said that Dr. Baldwin assured him this show- ing did not indicate a dangerous condition, as Government insy ectors, finding one-fifth of samples bad, con- sidered the water safe for public use. He said Dr. Baldwin denied having indicated the condition was alarming, Wall declared impurities found were caused by filthy fauceta. He said he was sure the source of city supply was pure, but as a safeguard against contamination of yoo water, concrete covers should be provided for the settling basins at Baden and Bissell’s Point. At present, ke said, it is possible for germ-laden dust and bacteria to find their way into the water in these reservo'!rs. _—————— Davenette in either specially priced. +l} i eit _- ee eee eee — ee August Sale Helirung & Grimm Davenette, $26.75 mahogany, fumed oak or golden oak finish. Very =| : that they did not give the light any attention, but cisappeared over the wall. He said he called to the guard Supposed to be in the nearest sentry house on top of the wall, and though he called several times, received no response. He then ran to tk» prison entrance several hundred yards away, where he gave the alarm. Investigation led to the cell houses. In “E” hall two cells were found empty, and the lock bar of a tier of cells cut. The building is three stories high, and has one guard on duty on each floor. The cells occupied by the es- caped men were on the first floor. The guard on duty in that corridor was A. S. Stovall, who said tonight that he heard no unusual sounds, and that he knew nothing of the escape until inquiry was made. He said he had complied with the prison rules, had been awake, and at regular intervals of 30 minutes had turned on the lights, and made his rounds of tnspection. About the time of the escape there was an elec- trical storm, the noise of which aided the men. Stovall said that he had no idea how the men ope.ed the doors of their cells after sawing the steel bar, as the loosening of this bar only re- leased one of the two locks on the doors. After getting into the corri- dor, they are supposed to have un- locked the door leading into the pris- on yard. Guards Locked in, The custom is for the guards to be locked in the building by guards on the outside. The inside guards are not supplied with keys to this outer door. In the yard the convicts entered a large abandoned tunnel, which formerly Was used as a stea mduct. It had been abandoned and the end, which terminat- ec in the stockade, from which the mer, escaped over the wall, closed with six feet thickness of brick and con- crete. The men dug through this. Prison officials say they believe that work in this tunnel must have been done at other times and have continued over several weeks., Morris, who was captured, said he had been lying in the weeds all day. He was at the rear of the home of James A. Houchin. He called to Houchin’s negro chauffeur, Henry Howard, to get him a drink of water. The negro no- tified prison officials.

Not one infant de- pendent upon the commission for pure milk has been deprived of it as a reé- sult of the strike, nor will it be. Rut there is a condition arising from the strike of milkmen that the St. ouis Pure Milk Commission can- not fully safeguard, although doing its utmost to thit end. This is the peril fr, which babes are placed by reason of a change of ¢let. These are not anong those beirg regularly supplied in homés where what is needed can be paid for, and where feebleness intrudes as well | as it does in the tenement districts. Many homes in which are infants ‘ @ieted by order of physicians, with wholesome milk an essential, have found’ themselves unable to obtain this mjlk as usual and have in many instances adopted what appeared to be the best substitute in the way of the canned article. From these ranks the Pure Milk Commission is daily receiving added clients and taking eare of them, but there has been meantime a change of diet that {a not for the best and serious results are liable to develop should the weather eontinue hot, notwithstanding the wholesome milk now being had by them in abundance.

Indeed, the children are energetically bending their _ efforts, these tast vacation days, to up- ’ bulld the Fund to the utmost, and in every instance they are receiving wholehearted co-operation from parents ‘and other grown persons.

These friends of the cause of the imperiled babies have been active for some weeks, not only in prep- aration for the entertainment, but in building up an sudience in proportion to the strong merit of the treat to be given in return for the nominal admis- sion price. At the Famous Theater, Sixth street and Franklin avenue, at 10 a. m. on Thursday, 18 children are to give an en- tertainment for the Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund on which they have been en- gaged in preparation for weeks, and for which a substantial sum has already been accumulated through sale of tick- ets. This activity and the popularity of the children have served to attract keen interest in many directions, and it prom- ises to be one of the banner events of the campaign from the standpoints of genuine satisfaction to the audence and return to the Fund. Basar and Carnival. Friday evening's event, as made ktnown to the Post-Dispatch, is to be a bazar and carnival on the lawn of the residence of Miss Benetta Merner, 7124 Waterman avenues. This is another en- deavor among the children of University City, who have established a fame for their active Interest In the well-being of the poor babies. They are to sel! dainty refreshments and conduct booths in which are numerous merrymaking di- versions. Saturday evening the Hillel Campfire Girls, banded together for benevolent work, and with a notable record of many triumphs in that direction, fn which they are valiantly sustained by the Temple Israel congregation, of which they are an important part, will hold a bazar for the benefit of the poor babies. This will be held on the lawn of the residence immediately west of the temple, at King’s highway and Wash- ington boulevard. There are about a dozen gitris in this organization, and they have been giving themselves un- atintedly to the undertaking for several weeks, not only having disposed of hun- Grede of tickets, but perfecting a scheme of entertainment that promises to set a high record tn that line. They are to gell refreshments of various seasonable and dainty kinds, and also to operate numerous booths In which attractive di- versions will be afforded. “Sleeping Beauty” Given, A notably finished and charming pro- duction of the fairy land play. ‘“Sleep- ? ina Beauty.” was given by children of the neighborhood at the home of Mrs. Marguerite Culpepper, 420 Chippewa street. for the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund. the result of which was $15 for the poor babies and a Wealth of pleasure for a larze audience!

ACCEPTABLE TO THE MEN But Dairies Declare Through Attorney Arbitration Would « Be Unfair to Them. The petition of the St. Louis Dairy Co for an injunction against interfer- ence, by striking milk wagon drivers or others, with its attempts to re-estab- lish the retail delivery of-milk, suspend- ed since Aug. 8 because of the strike, will be heard tomorrow morning by Circuit Judge Anderson. Officials of the drivers’ union and the heads of the St. Louis Dairy Co. were in court yesterday morning, when the case was first called, and Judge Arderson took the opportunity to urge both sides to accept arbitration and to offer his own services as arbitrator, if he should prove acceptable. “Why should either side be stubborn in this case?” the Judge asked. “After all, a settlement depends on your mental! attitude.’’ He laid the case over until tomorrow, after the strikers’ attorney, Charles J. Anderson, sald that he had had no opportunity to see the papers in the case. W. R. Schneider, attorney for the dairy cempany, was ready to present affidavits in the case, and he told the Court, in reply to the suggestion of ar- bitration, that this would be unfair to the employers.

Davenport has won his _las* eight games and was to have been relied upon for work at least every fourth contest, for the re- mainder of the season. The New York club has been at his mercy in recent contests. Davenport was hit on the hur- ling hand by a pitched ball while at bat. No bones were broken it was reported after a preliminary examination. Miss Thelma Darby of Indian- apolis Swims Great Race, Defeating Fast Field in Event at Marquette Pool. Miss Thelma Darby, the thirteen- year-old Indianapolis prodigy, won the first national A. A. U. half mile swimming championship for women ever held when she defeated a field of four older contestants in the Marquette municipal pool here, yes- terday afternoon. The contest was under the sponsor- ship of the Columbian Athletic Club and was held in conjunction with the Western A. A. U.’s annual women’s swimming championships. Miss Darby swam with a steady, well-developed crawl stroke, that never lessened in power and never viated in piston-like regularity Se enekout the entire 880 ‘yards of ourse. a youthful victor completed the distance in 16 minutes 8% seconds, but until the last of the 14 laps of the 188-foot tank, the battle between the winner and Miss Ethel Tittsworth, the 17-year-old representative of the Columbian A. C., was one of the pret- tiest aquatic stru gles that has ever been seen here. hese two contest- ants swam practically neck and neck until the final 200 feet, when Thelma put on @ surprising spurt and opened up a comfortable margin at the finish, Grace Stewart, another Cc. A. C. con- tender, finished third, about 10 yards in the wake of Miss Tittsworth. Misses Edith Rieger. the third C. A. Cc. entrant, and Frances Bilsbarrow of the Lorelei fell back to the rear at the start of the race and had a little battle of their own, Miss Rieger nosing out fourth position. Victor Helped by Turns.

HAND IS IBROWNS COLLAPSE WHEN DAVENPORT’S INJURED © Fourth Jones’ Men Succumb to Yankees, 10-6, After | Acquiring a Three-Run Lead in the Round. A 10—46, The Browns looked a vastly supe- rior club to their adversaries, while Davenport lasted; but with him out the Browns acted enough like sand- lotters to be convicted as major league impostors and fined. Koob, Plink, Groom and Park suc- ceeded Davenport in dizzy succession and Groom was the only pitcher worthy of the name. Unfortunately he endured only one inning. The defeat is charged to Piank, who ‘Ylelded two singles, a duuble a wild throw and hit a batter in one and two-thirds innings. The victory goes to Fisher, although Shawkey was called in to save the game, this being Shawkey’s third appearance in four games against the Brownles. ' This defeat, incidentally, shoves the Browns into fifth place, although they still are only six games behind Bos- ton, thanks to Detroit's victory, 2—1l, The Jungaleers now have the undis- puted possession of second place. Triple Play Checks Browns. A careful examination of Daven- port’s hand after the game revealed the fact that he suffered no bone frac- ture. However, his hand was badly bruised and he may not be able to work against Boston. He said his hand became numb and he was unable to grip the ball when he returned to Hurling Hill. Jones took him out in the fourth after he had walked the first batter. Davenport was beaned in the last portion of the fourth and through the courtesy of Manager Donovan, Bill Borton was allowed to run for Long Dave. During the remainder of the inning, Doe awier, the bone spe- cialist, massaged the hand, but pro- nounced Davenport unfit for service. Dauntless, however, was willing to take a chance and Jones gave him «rmission to open the fifth inning. ie was wild, however, and it was con- sicered good tactics to tench him, inasmuch as the Browns had a three- run lead and were hitting Fisher. But, having the second guess, we might venture to say that Jones erred in calling in Koob. Ernie is speedily rexaining his strength, but he still lacks control.and the first law of baseball says that only pitchers with control should be used for relief duty. But here again there was a hitch. Realizing the possibility of not hav- ing Davenport available for the Bos- ton series, Jones thought it would be wise to keep Plank in shape to pitch Monday’s opener. But, in time, Plank chme on and he was much the worst pitcher of the day. It was a tremendously interesting game for the New York fans to watch, and there were 20,000 of them present to cheer the carnage of the once- courageous Brownies. Triple Play Check Browns. They saw a triple play, pulled at the expense of Fielder Jones’ team, after the Brownies had the bases filled and two runs in they saw a dou- ble play whipped over with the bases filled and none out and finally they watched the Yankees come from be- hind and outgame and outtat the Browns, who quaked, once the pitch- ing, began to falter.

Doesn’t Ex- pect to Break Records. —— | TALBOT NOT A CERTAINTY National Champion Had Not Notified C. A. C. of His Coming Last Night. Robert Simpson, the world’s record holder in the 120-yard high hurdles and student at Missouri U., will be the main attraction this afternoon at the Western District A. A. U. meet to be staged at the new athletic field of the Columbian A. C., Thirteenth and W'yoming streets. Simpson arrived here yesterday and will compete in the high hurdles, while there is a chance that he-will start in the low. Although thé national championships at Newark, for which the events today are the Western tryouts, are only two weeks off, Simpson is not in the best of condition, but he is not worrying. He has been playing a lot of tennis at a Michigan resort all summer and this has tightened up the tendons in his legs. The Tiger star expects to be in first- class shape when the Newark meet is staged. In the event here today, Harry Schien- berg, a former Soldan High School boy, now attending Purdue U., is expected to give Simpson the greatest competition. Schienberg won the high hurdles in 16 3-5s. last Sunday. This is 2s. slowe1 than Simpson's world’s standard. Schienberg took third place to Simpson in the Big Nine meet last summer. . Talbot’s Coming Uncertain. Unless Lee Talbot, the Kansas City A. C. weight star and at present nha- tional champion in the 66-pound ‘weight throw, puts in his appearance, Simp- son will be the only out-of-town big gun competing. Up to late yesterday nothing had been heard from Talbot. The result of the meet hinges some- what on whether or not Talbot com- petes. The Missouri Athletic Association has entered a strong team, many of them real stars, and if Talbot is in the weights the Cherry Diamond has a great chance of winning. If he does not then the Columbian A, C. will have the edge, as its weight men are best. Irwin Mahl, the C. A. C. star, is conceded first place in the two sprints, while the Cherry Diamond is given all three places in the pole vault, with Floyd, a former Missouri U. star; Pow- ell, another Tiger, and Hickman of Cor- nell competing under its colors. H. Friz- zell, another M. A. A. man, is conceded first place in the high jump. The Columbian A. C. will be minus two of its stars, Stanhope Carter and Wyatt Raw- lings. Carter was expected to win the broad jump and hop, step and jump. while Raw- lings was to be entered in the SS0-yard and the mile runs. A twisted knee is keeping Carter out of it, while Rawlings’ mother wil] not let him run on Sunday. Coach Fitzger- ald spent a full day at Murphysboro, IIl., during the past week trying to gain Mrs. Rawlings’ consent to let her son compete. but failed. This puts a serious crimp in the Tangled C’s chances. as the pair were count- ed upon for 15 points at least. McCawley a “Come Back.”’ John McCawley, who three years ago was rated as one of the best sprinters in the city and who since that time has not been seen in ‘action, will attempt a ‘‘comeback.’’ being entered from the M. A. A. in the 220- T. G. Watts Jr., president of the Western District A. A. U., has recommended five of the athletes to the national body. They are Irwin Mahl, F. W. Floyd. H. Frizzell. Lee Talbot and Bob Simpson. Four of these are sure to compete today. Gus Aronson has not been seen around the Tangled C for three weeks and will not be entered.

EVENT OPENS’ SEPT. 4 Match Play Following Qualify- ing Round to Be Staged on the East Course. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26.—The quall- fying round of the twenty-second annual amateur golf championship to be held the week of Sept. 4 over the two courses of the Merion Golf Club, will be played over 36 separate holes for the first time in the history of American golf. This is made possible by the use of both the east and west links of the Merion Club. The courses are marked by great dis- similarity, both as to physical features and type of holes. ~ The east course is 6445 yards in length and is plentifully supplied with haz- ards, hand-made and natural. While the ground is of an undulating character, the soil, largely of clay loam, makes the run of the ball more pronounced than on the west course. Two or three creeks and a quarry are the natural features that make some of the holes of the east course famous, while a road which bisects the course at the tenth, eleventh and twelfth holes adds to the other hazards. The six+ teenth, seventeenth and eighteenth holes are the quarry holes, the drop into the quarry of 100 feet facing the seventeenth tee makes an excellent mental hazard. This course is also noted for its One- shot holes, on any of which a careless play means ruin. ‘This will be the course used for the match play after the quali- fying round on Monday, Sept. 4. Many Natural Hazards. The west course, which is to be used only in the qualifying round, is a com- paratively new one, opened in 1914, and is entirely different from the older. It is 6100 yards in length and even more rugged and secluded than the _ east course. It is entirely surrounded by woods with no roads near. In its nat- ural features it is far superior to the other, with winding creeks and, in some holes, fairways, guarded by short slopes. The soil, too, is totally different, be- ing of a sandy character, which readily becomes spongy .and on which under usual circumstances shots must be played for what they are wortli. Owing to the continued drouth of the past few weeks, however, the soil has become baked and is practically in the same condition as the other course, In fact, both are longer than they are under normal conditions, and where the hole is a two-shotter the run of the ball makes the second shot a much shorter one than it should be and consequently much easier. The greens are smaller than they are on the east course, making it more difficult to stay on. The feature hole of the west course Is the sixth. It is one of the most deceptive one-shot holes in the country. The tee, which is 125 yards from the pin, is 80 feet above it, amd the fairway slope toa green almost islanded by a creek.

Left-handers have seemed to own an advantage over right-handers tn the net world and the greatest players in the game have wielded the racquet with the fork hand. Norman Brookes, probably the best allround player of the last five years, was a southpaw. Beals Wright, a former national champion and internationalist, was a left-winder.

It may be up to Murray to ovcrthrow the menace of the Japanese invader this week. ‘ * “ Where Does McLoughlin Stand? cLOUGHLIN, the wonder of the.tennis world two years ago, whe sue cessively took into camp the two greatest players of the world, pi sibly excepting himself—Brookes and Wi{lding—and who would ordinarily be conm- » sidered a sure finalist in the coming tourney, is en unknown quantity. He & entering on the natfonal with less competitive play than ever before in his life. He withdrew from the only Eastern tourney in which he was entered, the Meadow; he declined to defend his Longwood championship; he tovk part in the doubles alone at Chicago; and had only one tournament te key him up for hia difficult task. McLoughlin has two “legs” on the National Cup. It was thought he would make the effort of his life to get back to his 1914 form. He has been practicing, it is true; but most followers of championship play be- lieve that the lack of tourmament competition will preclude his coming through to the final round this scason. - » + Nobody on Edge but Jap and Murray.

He had to defeat on successive days Fari Fehr, Norris Williams and Maurice M::,oughiin. : Whoever wins his way to the finals through the lower half of ihis year’s pairings will have to repeat the performance of Johnston last year. ‘ In fact, it will be practically impossible for any contestant te win the national championship without playing matches against three opponents worthy to rank in the first 10 players of the country—pes- sibly FOUR, Looks Easy for Williams. The upper draw is a cake-walk for Williams, if that player is tn his 1915 form, The only men of class whom he must extend himself to defeat are Clothier, a tired veteran, and Wallace Johnson and Griffin, men whom he should hold safe. Griffin, however, has beaten Williams this year, he having eliminated the former champion from the Longwood tourney. But the lower half includes #VERYBODY else. And that means Me- Loughlin, Johnston, Kumagae, R. Lindley Murray, Throckmorton, Behr, try. Another thing: They'll all be primed for Mr. Jap. It's a sure thing that every contender in the tourney will know the supposed streag and weak points of the Jap’s play.

The first Cadillac Eight proved so suc- cessful that it was found unnecessary to make any radical alterations last year; and the same is true now. What the absence of radical change really means is that the underlying principles of Cadillac V-type eight-cylin- der construction have been proven fun- damentally sound by the performance of 31,000 cars. “It means that the Cadillac Co. has arrived at the deliberate judgment that the kind of a motor car which it is now building represents a higher degree of efficiency than any other in existence,” says an official. With the new Cadillac is offered a greater range of body styles than ever before. The open, the two convertibles and two of the enclosed cars have a wheel base of 125 inches, while the three seven-passenger enclosed cars have 132- inch wheel base. Of the former there are four cars. The seven-passenger touring car, with dis- appearing auxiliary seats at $2080, may be considered the standard Cadillac of the open body type. This is supplement- ed by a four-passenger phaeton, a two- passenger roadster with disappearing rumble seat ‘for two and a close coupled roadster seating four, each at $2080. There are two convertible cars, that is, having permanent roofs and disap- pearing windows, viz., a seven-passen- ger car at $2675 and a four-passenger victoria at $2550. The list of enclosed cars includes a four-passenger coupe at $2800 and a five- passenger brougham at $2950, each with 12-inch wheel base; a seven-passenger limousine at $3600, a seven-passenger landaulet and a seven-passenger im- perial with 132-inch wheel base, the two latter at $3760. The designs are beautiful. The ex- teriors are unmarred by any encum- brances—all that can de concealed con- veniently has been so disposed. The running boards are clear. Battery and tool compartments are concealed under the dust shield alongside the running boards. Spare tires are carried at the rear, The hinged steering wheel—which locks securely when driving—facilitates entrance -to and exit from the front seat at either side. TO BUILD CASINGS AND TUBES IN ST. LOUIS Edward Sterns, president of the Ef- ficlency Oil Corporation, announced yesterday that ground will be broken on Sept. 10 for the new plant of the Sterns Tire & Tube Co. The structure, which is to occupy part of a 10-acre track in Wellston, will cost nearly $250, - 000. The Sterns Tire & Tube Co. is a sub- sidiary of the Efficiency Oil Corpora- tion and the concern will engage in the manufacture of “Sternwea:’ automobile tires and inner tubes. The building of this plant in St. Louls is regarded as a most important commercial develop- ment as it launches this city Into one *f the world’s greatest indusrries. The plant will be a four-story rein- forced concrete structure. It will front 128 feet on Kienlin avenue and will have a depth of 200 feet along the tracks of the Terminal Railroad. The daily output of the Sterns plant at the start will be 1600 casings and 3200 inner tubes, and, according to officials uf the concern, enough orders already have been received for the “Sternwear” product to require the operation of the factory day and night for three months. It is expected that the concern will be ready to manufacture its product by January 1. The “Sternwear’’ inner tube is a St. J.ouls product, invented by Edward Sterns of the Efficiency company. These tubes will be sold under a fac- tory guarantee to give 20,00, miles of service without puncture or blowouts. Sterns recently closed a deal in De- troit with Henry Matthews of Trenton, Ontario, involving approximately $500,- 1, In which he disposed of the Cana- dian rights of manufacture and distri- bution of “Sternwear” tubes. ——- —.@- NEWEST PACKARD TWIN SIX IS HERE The new Twin-Six Packard has ar- rived, and is. on exhibition at the show rooms of the Packard Missouri Motor Co. Through the foresight of President W. J. Parrish of the Packard Missouri! Motor Co., local patrons will have’ early delivery dates. Mr. Parrish secured allot- ments as soon as this model was an- nounced, which ‘gives promise of be- ing the earliest deliveries made in the United States of the new car. It presents somewhat different lines from previous models. The rear fenders follow the curve of the wheels, which has the effect of smoothing out the rear lines. The chassis is two inches lower, and while the lines of the body still are distinctly Packard, the effect. imparts more of the straight line design. Pleated upholstery is used instead of tufted Turkish, and a new upholster- ing spring is used, which permits of lowering the seat. Economy of gasoline consumption, rapidity of pick-up, wide range of ability on high gear, smoothness of action at all speeds and surplus pow- er for hillclimbing are identified with the new Twin Six to an even greater degree than in the preceding model. HE WANTS NEW VELIE The Velie Automobile Co. received a letter a day or two ago which proves the value of a_ well-satisfied Velle owner. “Kindly send mé a 1917 cata- logue.

No Citadels to Hold Up Traveters. The business men of America, Mr. Hughes said, were. in his opinion, patriotic, broad, sound in their views and ambitions.

SUFFRAGIST SAYS —_—_——_—_—_— Mrs. George Bass Replies to Those Who Criticise Presi- dent’s Position. CHICAGO, Aug. 26.—Mrs. George Bass, head of the Woman’s Bureau at Western Democratic headquarters, is- sued a statement today in which she replies to the leaders of the Congres- sicnal Union ‘and others who have criticised President Wilson’s position on woman suffrage. “The first step in the campaign for the woman’s vote’ in the suffrage states will be the presentation of proof that the Democratic party has been more friendly to the cause of woman suffrage than the Republican party,” says Mrs. Bass. “The history of the suffrage cause contains proof of this and any one who claims that tho Democrats oppose woman _ suffrage makes the claim out of Republican partisanship and not from any honest interest in suffrage. “For the 20 years that suffrage was becoming a live issue the Republicans were in power. During that time the suffrage lobbyists in Washington ment. When the Democratic party ‘ame into power four years ago Sen- tor Thomas of Colorado, one of the frage in the country, was made chair- man of the Senate Committee on suf- frage. He asked for and received as members of his committee men inter- ested in the advancement of suffrage and for the first time in the history o? suffrage Congress has met the suf- fragists cordially and Congress has been democratic. “The Congressional Union, seeking the passage of the Federal amendment for universal suffrage and represent- ing only a small fraction of suffrage seekers, is waging a campaign agains: the Democratic party because Cor- gress failed to pass the amendment. “Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt declares the Congressional Union’s auti-party policy, ‘A monkey wrench thrown into the machinery of suffrage evo- lution,’ and contrary to the long es- | tablished and tried policy of non- | partisanship which neither’ indorses | nor opposes a political party. Mrs. Catt has called the policy of the Con- gressional Union ‘foolish and futile,’ particularly as the passage of the amendment requires a two-thirds vote of Congress, a majority which no party has controlled since the time of the reconstruction. “Outside the congressional situa- tion as well as within it, the Dem- ocratic party has fovored woman suffrage. In 1912 women voted in 11 states, all of them west of the Mississipi River, and all of them originally Republican strongholds. Eight of these states, Arizona, Colo- rado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Ne- vada, Oregon and Wyoming, went Democratic. California and Washing- ton went Progressive. Utah alone went Republican. If women, with experience in suffrage, testify by their votes to the fairness of the Democratic party is not their testi- mony worth more than an agitator’s claim? “The Republican platform approves suffrage. The Democratic platform recommends it. The Republican can- didate for President has just de- clared himself for suffrage. Presi- dent Wilson voted for suffrage in 1915.” NINTH CASE OF INFANTILE PARALYSIS FOUND IN CITY Seven of Them Still in the Contag- ious Stage, but There Have Been No Deaths.

Stomach Troubles ‘Due to Acidily SAYS NEW YORK PHYSICIAN, A well-known New York whysician, in speaking of dyspepsia and its proper treatment, says that so-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, wind, stom- ach-ache and inability to retain food, are in probably nine cases out of ten simply evidence that fermentation is taking place in the food contents of the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acids. Wind distends the stomach and causes that full. oppressive feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while th= acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies largely in the fermenting food, causing the formation of excess acid. Such fer- mentation is unnatural and may in- volve most serious consequences if not corrected. To stop or prevent fermentation of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the dangerous acid and make it harmless, a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia, probably the best and most effective corrector of acid stomach known. should be taken in a quarter of a giass of hot or cold water immediately after eating. or whenever wind or acidity is felt. This stops the fermentation, sweetens the stomach contents and neu- tralizes the acidity in a few moments. Fermentation. wind and acidity are dan- gerous and unnecessary. Stop or pre- vent them by the use of a proper antacid, such as bisurated magnesia, which can be obtained from any druggist and thus enable the stomach to do its work prop- erly without being hindered by poisonous gas and dangerous acids.—ADV.

ENRY DE SPAIN, redoubtable gunman, suffers the humiliation of being defeated in a shoot- ing match by a girl, who proves to be Nan : Morgan, daughter of the outlaw band of Mor- gans Gup. He accepts a position as manager of the Thief River stage line, in defending the ore shipments 0} which from the bandits previous managers have lost their lives. Sassoon, one of the robber clan, murder- ously attacks a stage line guard, and De Spain daringly enters Morgan's Gap alone to arrest the desperado. All goes well until, reaching the exit of the pass with his prisoner, De Spain finds Nan blocking the path. CHAPTER VI. Heels for It. ITH a sudden, low command to Sassoon to check his horse, and without a movement that could be detected in the dawn 10 yards away, De Spain with the thumb and finger of his right hand lifted his revolver from its scabbard, shifted his lines from his left hand to his right, rode closer to Sassoon and pressed the muzzle of the gun to his prisoner's side. “You've got one chance yet, Shike, here,’’ he announced in a tone she never had heard before from a man. in last night from Thief River, and you are riding out with me to start me on to the Sleepy Cat trail. If you can remember that much’—— , While he spoke to Sassoon his eyes were fixed on the rider halted in their path. De Spain stopped half-way through his sentence.

She waited so long before accosting the two men that De Spain, who Was ready to hope any improbable thing, began to hope she might let them pass unchallenged. He had resolved, if she did not speak, to push past without even looking ather. They were now almost abreast. His fine resolution went smash overboard. The very instinctive knowledge that her eyes were bent on his made him steal a glance at her in spite of himself. The next instant he was shamefacedly touching his hat. Though nothing was lost on her, Nan professed not to see the greeting. He She hated even to answer, and met his searching gaze 1esentfully, but something in his tone and manner wrung areply. ‘I can defend myself,” she exclaimed angrily. De Spain reavsed his right hand from his thigh to the pommel of his saddle. The slight gesture was eloquent of his surrender of the issue of force. “I can’t go into a shooting match with you about this cur. If you call your uncle there will be bloodshed—unless you drop me off my horse here and now before he appears. All I ask you is this: Is this kind of a cutthroat worth that? If you shoot me, my whole posse from Sleepy Cat is right below us in the aspens. Some of your own people will be killed in a general fight. If you want to shoot me, shoot she spoke her tone was dry with suspicion. —you can have the match all to yourself. If you don't, “Wait a moment, Sassoon. Where are you going?” let us go by.

But for a gunman a narrow squeak is as good as a wide one, and no one found fault with the situation. They had the advantage—the only question was whether they could hold it. And while they con- tinued to cast anxious glances behind, Scott’s Indian eyes first perceived signs on the horizon that marked their pursuit. “No matter,” declared Lefever. ‘This is a little fast for a fat man, anyway.” He was not averse, either, to the prospect of a long-range exchange with the fighting mountaineers. All drew rein a little. “Suppose I cover the rear till we see what this is,’’ suggested Lefever, lim- bering up as the other two looked back. “Push ahead with Sassoon. These fellows won't follow far.” “Don’t be sure about that,’ muttered Scott. “Duke and Gale have got the best horses in the mountains, and they'd rather fight than eat. There they come now.” Dashing across a plain they themselves had just crossed, they could see three horsemen in hot chase. The pursued men rode carefully, and, scanning the ground everywhere ahead and behind, De Spain, Scott and Lefever awaited the moment when their pursuers should show their hand. Scott was on the west of the line and nearest the enemy. “Who are they, Bob?’’ yelled Lefever. Scott scrutinized the pursuers carefully. “One,”’ he ealled back, “‘that big fellow on the right, is Deaf San- dusky, sure. Harvey Logan, likely, the middle man. The other | can’t make out. Look!” he exclaimed, point- ing to the foothills on their distant left. Two men, rid- ing out almost abreast of them, were running their horses for a small canyon through which the trail led two miles ahead. ‘“f me riding,” cried Scott, watching the new- comers. ‘That farther man must be Gale Morgan. They are trying for the greasewood canyon, to cut us off.” “We can’t stand for that,” decided De Spain, survey- ing the ground around them. ‘“There’s not so much as a sage brush here for cover.”’ Lefever pointed to his right; at some distance a dark, weather-beaten cone rose above the yellow desert. ‘“‘Let’s | make a stand in the lava beds,” he cried. 5 al De Spain hesitated. “It takes us the wrong way.’ He pointed ahead. “Give them a run for that canyon, boys.” Urging their horses, the Sleepy Cat men rode at ut- most speed to beat the flanking party to the trail gate- way. For a few minutes it looked an even break between pursuers and pursued.: The two men in the foothills now had a long angle to avercome, but they were doing a better pace than those of the Gap party behind, and half way to the canyon it looked like a neck-and-neck heat for the narrow entrance. Lefever complained of the ef- fort of keeping up, and at length reined in his horse. “Drop me here on the alkali, boys,” he cried to.the others. “I'll hold this end while you get through the canyon.” “No,”’ declared De Spain, checking his pace. “If one stays, all stay. This is as good a time as any to find out what these fellows mean.” “But not a very good place,’’ commented Scott, as they slowed. looking for a depression. “It’s as good for us as it is for them,’ returned De Spain abruptly. “We'll try it right here.’’ He swung out of his saddle, Lefever and Scott, after an instant’s recénnaisgance following. Sassoon they dis- his wrists together, while De slung their carbines, got their horses down and, facing the west and south, spread themselves on the ground. The men behind lost nothing of the defensive move- ment of the pursued party, and slowed up in turn. For the moment the flankers were out of sight, but they must soon appear on the crest of a rise between them and the canyon. Lefever was first down and first ready with his rifle to cover the men behind. These now spread out and came on, as if for a rush. Lefever, picking Logan, the foremost, sent a warning shot in front of him. De Spain fired almost at the same moment toward the big man making a detour to the right of the leader. The two bullets puffed in the distant alkali, and the two horsemen, sharply admonished, swerved backward precipitately. Aftér a momentary circling indecision, the three rode closer together for a conference. dismounted and opened a return fire on the little party lying to. The strategy of their halt and their firing was not hard to penetrate. The men from the foothills were still riding for the canyon. No views were exchanged among Sassoon’s captors, but all understood that this move must be stopped. Lefever and Scott, without words, merely left the problem to De Spain as the leader, He SUNDAY MAGAZINE- -5T.

Taking advantage of a lull in the firing, he pulled his horse around between himself and the attacking party, and in such a position that he could command with his rifle the fast-moving riders to the west. Something of a predicament onfronted him. He was loct™ *o take a human life «a the effort to get a cutthroat jailed, and hated even to cripple a beast for it, but the two men must be stopped. Nor was it easy to pick up the range offhand, but meaning that the Mor- cans, if they were Morgans, should understand how a rush would be met, he sent one shot after another, short, bevond and ahead of the horsemen, to check them, and to feel the way for closer shooting if if should be neces- sary. The two dashed on undaunted. De Spain per- ceived that warnings were wasted. He lowered his sight, and, waiting his chance as the leader of the foothill pursuers rode into a favorable range, he fired for his horse’s head. The beast jumped convulsively and pitched forward, head down, in a half somersauilt, throwing his rider violently to the ground. Scott and Lefever yelled loudly. Out of the cloud of dust the man scrambled to his feet, looked coolly around, and brushed the alkali disgustedly from his eves just as a second bullet from De Spain tore up the earth a few feet to one side recall at any moment. And the worst of it is, if they ever do-recall it, you-are worse off than you were be- fore they extended the brittle bauble to you.” “Jingo, John! For a stage blacksmith you are some spieler.” De Spain added an impatient, not to say con- tumelious, exclamation concerning the substance of Le- fever’s talk. “I don't ask them for a reputation. This man interfered with my guard—in fact, tried to cut his throat, didn’t he?” “Would have done it if Frank had been an honest man.” » “That is all there is to it, isn't it? If Sassoon or any- body else gets in the way of the stages, I'll go after them again—that’s all there is to it, isn't it?” Lefever tapped the second finger of one fat hand gently on the table. . “Practically; practically all, Henry, ves. You don’t quite understand, but you have the right idea. What I am trying to hammer into your dense cocoanut is, that when a man has, gets or is given a reputation out in this country, he has got to live up to. it.” “What do you want me to do—back a horse and shoot two guns at once up and down Main street, cowboy style?” 4 Lefever kept his patience without difficulty. “No, no. You'll understand.” of him. He jumped like a rabbit at this summons, and did not even make a further pretense at composure. Grabbing his hat from the ground, he ran like mad toward the hills. Mean- time his mounted companion had turned about. De Spain sprang te his feet, jerked up his horse and cried: ‘Now for the canyon?” Pushing Sassoon into the saddle and profiting by the confusion, the railroad men rode hard for their refuge. and reached it without more molestation than an occasional shot from their distant pur- uers on the main trail. De Spain and his scouts now felt assured of their escape. The foothills contin- gent was. left far behind, and, though their remaining pursuers rode in at times with a show of rushing, the chase was a stern one, and could be checked whenever necessary. Hlalt- ing at times in this way to breathe their horses, or to hold off rear pur- suit, De Spain with his two compan ions and their prisoner rode _ into Sleepy Cat, locked Sassoon up and went to the Mountain House for breakfast. ; . CHAPTER VII. Maintaining a Reputation. HE abduction of Sassoon, which signalized De Spain’s entry into the stage-line manage- ment, created a_ée sensation akin to the exploding of a bomb un- der the range. The whole mountain country. which concentrates, sensibly, on but one topic at a time, talked for a week of nothing else. No such de- fiance of the traditions of the Mor- gan rule along the reaches of the Spanish Sinks had been attémpted in years—-and it was recalled more than once, when De Spain’s feat was dis- cussed at the ranches, on the trails and in the haunts of gunmen in Calabasas, that no one of those who had ever braved the wrath of the Sink rulers had lived indefinitely to boast of it. Experienced men, therefore, in the nigh country— mien of that class who, wherever found, are old in the ways of the world, and not promptly moved by new or youthful adventure—dismissed the incident after hear- ing the details, with the comment or the conclusion that there would hardly be for De Spain more than one addi- tional chapter to the story, and that this would be a short one. The most active Morgans—CGale, Duke and the easy-going Satterlee—were indeed wrought to the keenest pitch of revengeful anger. No question of the right or wrong of the arrest was discussed—justifica- tion was not considered. It was an overwhelmingly in- sclent invasion—and, worst of all, a successful invasion, by one who had nothing but cool impudence, not even budding reputation to justify his assault on the life- long prestige of the Gap clan. Gale Morgan strode and rode the streets of Sleepy Cat looking for De Spain, and storming. De Spain himself, somewhat surprised at the storm he had kicked up, heeded the counsel)! of Scott, and while the acute stage of the resentment raged along the trail he ran down for a few days to Medicine Bend to buy horses. Poth Gate and Duke Morgan proclaimed, in certain p biie places in Sleepy Cat, their intention of shoot- ine De Spain on sight; and as a climax to all the ex- ‘itement of the week following his capture, the slippery Sessoon bro’e jail and, after a brief interval, appeared ‘ large in Calabasas. This feat of the Morgan satellite made a Jond langh at De Spain's expense. It mitigated somew!-t the humil- iation of Sassoon's friends, but it in no wise diminished their expressed resolve to punish De Spain's invasion. Lefever, who as the mixer among the stage men, kept close to the drift of public sentiment, decided after De Spain’s return to Sleepy Cat that the stage-line authorities had gained nothing by Sassoon’s capture. “We ought to have thought of it before, Henry,” he said frankly one night in Jefferies’ office, “but we didn’t think.” “Meaning just what, John?’ demanded De Spain with- out real interest. “Meaning, that in this country you cant begin on a play like pulling Sassoon out from under his friends’ noses without keeping up the pace—without a second and third act. You dragged Sassoon by bis hair out of the Gap: good. You surprised everybody; good. But you can't very well stop at that, Henry. Yon have raised hopes, you have led people to invest vou with the faint ¢elimmerings of a reputation. I say, the gliimmer- ings, because such a feat-by itself doesn't insure a per- manent reputation, Henry. It is, so to sav, merely a ‘demand’ reputation—one that men reserve the right to SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST. i, Hae ig 1S OE AA BR a " BS ig nd Fv Py , “ : +t hte oe Pes oo A oP i ss fi “ ; ¥ ee 7 a oe Sy an ras sit eae Ps be : = aA etl Sof i PA A ei abe .

The few days are a thing of the past. I suppose you know,” continued Lefever, in as well-modulated a tone as he could assume to convey information that could not be regarded as wholly cheerful, “that they expect to get you for this Sassoon job.” De Spain flushed. But the red anger lasted only a moment. “Who ar hey"? he asked after a pause. “Deaf Ssendusky, Logan, of course, the Calabasas bunch and the Morgans.” le Spain regarded his companion vunamiably. What do they expect I'll be doing while they are getting me?” Lefever raised a hand deprecatingly. “‘Don’t be over. vonfident, Henry; that’s your danger. ! know you can take care of yourself. All 1 want to do is to get the folks here acquainted with your ability, without taking unnecessary chances. You see, people are not now ask- ing questions of ome another; they are asking them of themselves. Who and what is this pewcomer—an ac cident or a genuine arrival? A common squib or a real explosion? Don't get excited,” he added, in an effort to sooth De Spain's obvious irritation. “You have the idea, Henry. It’s time to show yourself.” “! can’t very well do business here without showing myself,” retorted De Spain. “But it is a thing to be managed,” persisted Letfever. “Now, suppose—since the topic is up-—we ‘show’ in Main street for a while.” “Suppose we do,’ echoed De Spain ungraciously. “That will crack the debut ice. We will call at Harry Tenison's Hotel and then go to his new rooms—«o right to society headquarters first—that’s my theory of doing it. If anybody has any shooting in mind, Tenison’s is a quiet and orderly place. And if a man declines to eat anybody up at Tenison’s we put him down, Henry, as not rayenously hupery.” “One man I would like to see is that Sheriff, Druel, who let Sasseon get out.” 3 “Ready to interview him now?” “I've got some telegrams to answer.” “Those will keep. The Morgans are in town. We'll start out and find somebody.” it was wet and sloppy outside, but Lefever was indif- ferent to the rain, and De Spain thought it would be undignified to complain of it. When, followed by Lefever, he wa!' ed into the lobby of Tenison’s Hotel a few moments ister the office was empty. Nevertheless, the news of the appearance of Sas- seon's captor spread.

Walking directly forward, he laid iis hand on Satt Morgan's shoulder. As the cattlemanm, turned, Lefever, genially grasping his hand, introduced De Spain to each of the party in turn. Wiat folio wed in the brief interval between the meeting of the six men and the sudden breaking up of the group a few moments later was never clearly known, but a fairly con- clusive theory of it was afterward accepted at Sleepy Cat. , Morgan .threw the brim of his. feather-beaten ‘hat back from his tanned face. He wore a mustache and a chin whisker of that variety designated in the mountains by the most opprobrieus of epithets. But his smile. which drew his cheeks into wrinkles all about his long, round nose, was not unfriendly. He looked with opea interest from his frank but act over trustworthy eyes at De Spain. ‘I veard,” he said in a good-natured, slightly nasal tone, “you made a sun- » rise call on us one day last week.” “And I want to say.” returned De Spain, equally amiable, “that if | had had any idea you folks would take it so hard-—I mean, as an affront ia- tended to any of you--I would never have gone into the Gap after Sassoon. I just assumed—-making a mistake as lI now realize—that my scrap would be with Sassoon, not with the Mor- ’ gans,’ Satt’s face wrinkled into a humor- ous grin. “You sure kicked up some alkali.” De Spain nodded candidly. “More than I intended to. And I say—-with- out any intention of impertinence to anybody else—Sassoon is a cur. I supposed when I brought him in here after so much riding, that we had Sheriff enough to keep him.” He looked at Druel with such composure that the latter for a moment was non- plussed. Then he discharged a vol- ley of oaths, and demanded what De Spain meant. De Spain did not move, He: refused to see the angry Sheriff, “That is where I made my second mistake,’ he continued. speaking to Morgan and forcing his tone just , enough to be heard. Druel, with more Le : hard words, began to abuse the rail- / Lila road for not paying taxes enough to build a decent jail. De Spain took RDA ER_ another tack. He eyed the Sheriff- calmly as the latter continued to draw away and left De Spain standing somewhat apart from the rest of the group. “Then it may be | am making you. It may not be your fauit.”’ “The fault is, you're fresh, cried Druel,” warming up as De Spain ap- peared to cool. The line of tipplers backed away from the bar. De Spain, stepping toward the Sheriff, rod his hand in a friendly way. ‘Druel, you're hurting yourself by your talk. Make me your deputy again some time,” he continued, “and I'll see that Sasseuu stays where he is put.” “CU do just that,” cried Druel, with a very strong word, and he raised his hand in turn. “Next time you waht him locked up, you can take care of him your- self,”’ The sharp crack of a rifle cut off the words: a bublet lore like a lightning bolt across De Spain's neck, crashed through a mahogany pilaster back of the bar and em- bedded itself in the wall. The shot had beep aimed from the street for his head. The noisy room instantly hushed. Spectators sat glued to their chairs. White faced players leaned motionless against the tables De Spain alone had acted; all that the bartenders could ever remember after the single rifle shot was seeing his hand go back as he whirled and shot instantly toward the heavy report. He had whipped out his gun aud fired sidewlse throngh the window at the sound. «a That was all. The bartenders breathed and looted again. Men were crowding like mad through the back doors. De Spain, at the cigar case, loo ed intently inte the rainy street, lighted from the corner by a dingy lamp. The four wen near him had not stirred, but, startled, alert, the right hand of each covered the butt of a revolver. De Spain moved first. While the pool players jammed the back doors to escape, he spoke to, without looking at, the bartender. “What's the matter with your curtains?” he demanded, sheathing his re- volver and pointing with an expletive to the big sheet of plate glass. “Is this the way you build up business for the house?” Those close enough to the window_saw that the bure pape had been cut, just above the middle, by two bullet holes. “wrious “men examined both fractures when De Spain and Lefever had left the saloon.

His futile struggles and even his name would long since have been swallowed up in the past, and the “Rock Spring” farm would never have been heard of outside its immediate locality, had it not been for the fact that there, in the midst of the most unpromis- ing circumstances that ever witnessed the advent of a hero into this world, Abraham Lin- coln was born on Feb. 12, 1809. On Sept. 4 this little patch of barren soil will become a Shrine of national pilgrimage, and President Wilson will journey thither to accept, in the name of the Government of the United States, the gift of the “Rock Spring” farm, of the log cabin in which the mar tyred President was born, and a $250,000 Memorial Building erected on the ground by the Lincoln Farm Association. Mr. Wilson is the third President to make this trip on official business: President Roosevelt. hunter. The first ancestor of the line to immigrate to this country was Samuel Lincoln of Norwich, England, who settled at Hingham, MWg.ss., in 1638. His son, Mordecai, removed to New Jersey, and then Pennsyl- vania, and his son John ‘estab- lished himself in Virginia in 1750. John Lincoln’s son, Abra- ham, was President Lincoln’s grandfather. While, other brancnes of the family remained or settled in New Jersey, Virginia, Tennessee and Illinois, the elder Abraham Lincoln followed Boone to Ken- tucky, «where, one morning in the year 1784, he was killed by an Indian’s shot from the brush. The two elder sons, Mordecai and Josiah, ran, the one to the house and the other to the neighboring fort, leaving the youngest, Thomas, a child of 6, with his father’s body.

Mordecai took deliberate aim at a white ornae ment on the breast of the savage and brought him down The little boy, thus released, ran to the cabin, and Mordecai, from the loft, renewed his fire on the redskins, until Josiah returned with assistance from the stockade and the assailants fled. Thus was Thomas Lincoln spared to give the nation one of its greatest Presidents. During Abraham Lincoln’s days of power, none of his many kinsmen in various states ever made their existence known to him, so far as is known, save for a distant Virginia cousin named Minor Lincoln, who, soon after the inauguration in 1861, wrote to the Presie« dent a letter adorned with a picture of Jefferson Davis and inclosed in an envelope blazoned with the Con- federate flag. It ran: “To Abraham Lincoln, Esq., President of the Northe ern Confederacy: “Sir: Having just returned from a trip President Wilson will deliver an address here Sept. 4. 400 gallons of whisky. But the absence of historical relics of Lincoln’s fancy will not prevent imaginative visitors from vis- ualizing the pioneer scene. In the mind’s eye they will see the pathetic figure of Nancy Hanks, burdened with the care of her babies and the hardships of a frontiersman’s wife, and yet walking’ in a glory be- cause she had bestowed upon the world the greatest gift a woman can make—a man of genius. Alas. she was never to see her son at the noonday of his attain- ments, because she was doomed to die, in the new In- diana home, when he was only 9 years old. This triumph was to be reserved for her successor in the family, Abraham’s stepmother, Sarah Bush Lincoln, but for the latter was also reserved the tragedy of knowing that he died by an assassin’s bullet, just at the comple in- its to the through from which the farm gets its name.

If he was hurried to get away,” added Scott reflectively, “he would slip upstairs over there as the nearest place to hide; the barn, where it would be easy to caché his rifle.”’ Lefever took the lapel of the scout’s coat in his hand. “Then you, Bob, go out and see if you can get the whole story. I'll take the barn. Let Henry go over to Tenison’s and wait at the head of the stairs till wé can get back there. It is just around the corner—second floor—a dark hall running back, opposite the double doors that open into an anteroom. Stay there, Henry, till we come. It won't be long, and if we don’t get track of him you may spot your man yourself.” De Spain found no difficulty in locating the flight of marble stairs that led to the gambling rooms. It w the only. lighted entrance in the side street. No ligh shone at the head of the stairs, but a doorway on the left opened into a dimly lighted anteroom and this, in turn, through a large arch, opened on a large room brilliantly lighted by chandeliers—one in the center and one near each corner. Around three sides of this room were placed the keno layouts, roulette wheels, faro tables and minor gambling devices. Off the casino itself small cardrooms opened. The big room was oe filled for a wet night. The faro tables were busy, and at the central tables at the farther end of the room—the table designated as Teni- son’s, because, at the rare intervals in which the pro- prietor dealt, he presided at this table—a group watched silently a game in progress. De Spain took a place in shadow near one side of the archway facing the street Goor and at times looked within for the loosely jointed frame, crooked neck, tousled forehead and malevolent face of the cattle thief. He could find in the many figures scattered about the room none resenibling the one he sought. A man entering the place spoke to another coming out. De Spain overheard the exchange. “Duke got rid of his steers yet?’’ asked the first. “Not yet.” “Slow game.” “The old man sold quite a bunch this time. he’s playing now he’ll last 24 hours.” De Spain, following the newcomer, strolled into the room and, beginning at one side, proceeded in leisurely fashion from wheel to wheel and table to table, inspect- ing the players. Few looked at him and none paid any attention to his presence. At Tenison’s table he saw in the dealer’s chair the largé white, smooth face, dark eyes and clerical expression of the proprietor, whose presence meant a real game and explained the interest of the idlers crowded about one player whom De Spain, without getting closer in among the onlookers than he wanted to, could not see. Tenison, as De Spain approached, happened to look wearily up; his face showed the set lines of a protract- ed session. He neither spoke nor nodded to the new- comer, bute recognized him with a mere glance. Then, though his eyes had rested for only an instant on the The way new face, he spoke in an impassive tone across the intervening heads: “What happened to your red tie, Henry?” De Spain put his hand to his neck, and looked down at a loose end hanging from his soft cravat. It had been torn by the bullet meant for his head. -_He tucked the end inside his collar. “A Calabasas man tried to untie it a few minutes ago. He missed the knot.” Tenison did not hear the answer. He had reverted to his case. De Spain moved on and, after making the round of the scattered tables, walked again through the archway into the anteroom, only to meet, as she stood hesitating and apparently about to enter the room, Nan Morgan.

Her hat was wet, and the limp shoulders of her khaki jacket and the front of her silk blouse showed the wilting effect of the rain. In one hand she clutched wet riding gloves. Her cheeks, either from tLe cold rain or mental stress, fairly burned, and her eyes, which had seemed when he en- countered her, fired with some resolve, changed to an ex- pression almost of dismay. This was hardly for more than an instant. Then her lips tightened, her eyes dropped, and she took a step to one side to avoid De Spain and enter the gambling He stepped in front of her. She looked up, room. furious. “What do you mean?” she exclaimed with in- dignation. ‘‘Let me pass.” The sound of her voice restored his self-possession.

You don’t know where you are going,” he persisted, his eyes bent uncompromisingly on hers. She showed increasing irritation at his attempt to exculpate her. “I know perfectly well where I am go- ing,” she retorted with heat. “Then you know,” he returned steadily, “that you've no business to enter such a place.” His opposition seemed only to anger her. “I know where I have business. I need no admonitions from you as to what places I enter. You are impertinent, insult- ing. Let me pass!” Wis stubborn opposition showed no signs of weakening he’ore her resolve. “One question,” he said, ignoring her angry words. “Have you ever been in these rooms be- cre?” He thought she quailed the least bit before his search- ing look. ,She even hesitated as to what to say. But if her eves fell momentarily it was only to collect her- self. “Yes,” she answered, looking up unflinchingly.

He tried to reason her out of her determination. She resented every word he offerd. “You are most insolent,” she exclaimed. “You are inter- fering in something that is no concern of yours. You If you don’t stand aside I'll call for help.” “Nan!” De Spain spoke her name suddenly and threateningly. His words fell fast, and he checked her for an instant with his vehemence. ‘‘We met in the Gap a week ago. i said I was telling you the exact truth. Did I do it?’ | “IT don’t care what you said or what you did’—— “Answer me,” he said sharply, “did I tell you the truth?” | “Tt don’t know or care’’—— “Yes, you do know’’—— “What you say or do’’—— “I told you the truth then, I am telling {t now. I will never see you enter a gambling room as long as I can prevent it. Call for help if you like.” She looked at him with amazement. She seemed about to speak—to make another protest. Instead, she turned suddenly away, hesitated again, put.both her hands to her face, burst into tears, and hurried toward the stairs. De Spain followed her. ‘Let me take you to where you are going?” Nan turned on him, her. eyes blazing through her tears, with a single, scornful, furious word: “No!”’ She quickened her step from him in such confusion that she ran into two men just reaching the top of the stairs. They, separated with alacrity, and gave her passage. One of the men was Lefever, who despite his size, was extremely nimble in getting out of her urgent way, and quick in lifting his hat. She fairly raced down the flight of steps, leaving Lefever looking after her in aston- ishment. He turned to De Spain: “Now, whe the deuee was that?” De Spain ignored his question by as"ing another: “Did you find him?’ Lefever shook his head. “Nota trace; I covered Main -street. I guess Bob was right. Nobody, home here, Henry?” “Nobody we want.’ “Nothing going on?” “Not a thing. If you will wait her for Bob, over to the office and answer those telegrams.” De Spain started for the stairs. “Henry,” called Lefever, as his companion trotted hastily down, “if you catch up to her, kindly apologize for a fat man.” But De Spain was balked of an opportunity to follow Nan. In the street he ran into Scott. “Did you get the story?” demanded De Spain. “Part of it.” “Was it Sassoon?”’ Scott shook his head. “What do you mean?” “Deaf Sandusky.” “Calabasas?” Scott nodded. “You must bave moved a couple of inches at the right nick, Henry. That man Sandusky,” Bob smiled a sickly smile, “doesn’t miss very often. He Was bothered a little by his friends being oh around you.’ The two regarded each other for a moment in silence. “Why,” asked De Spain, boiling a little. “should that damned, hulking brute try to blow my head off just Ill run | “I wish it was.”’ now ?”’ “Only for the good of the order, Henry,” grinned the scout. “Nice job Jeff has picked out for me,’ muttered De Spain grimly, “standing up in these Sleepy Cat bar- rooms to be shot at.” He drew in a good breath and threw up the wet brim of his hat. “Well, such is life in the high country, I suppose. Some fine day Mr. San- dusky will manage to get me—or I’ll manage to get him —that all depends on how the happening happens. Anv- way, Bob, it’s bad luck to miss a man. We'll hang that much of a handicap on his beef-eating crop. Is he the fellow John calls the butcher?” demanded De Spain. “That’s what everybody calls him, I guess.” The two rejoined Lefever at the head of the stairs and the three discussed the news. Even Lefever seemed more serious when he heard the report. Scott,: when asked where Sandusky now was, nodded toward the bie room in front of them. Lefever looked toward the gambling tables. “We'll go in and lodk at him.” He turned to Scott to invite his comment on the proposal. “Think twice, John,” s:.g- gested the Indian. “If there’s any trouble in a crowd like that, somebody that has no interest in De Spain or Sandusley is pretty sure to get hurt.” “I don’t mean'‘to start anything,” explained Lefever. “T only want De Spain to look at him.” But sometimes things start themselves. Lefever found Sandusky at a faro table. At his side sat his partner, Logan. Three other players, together with the onlookers ana ihe dealer—whose tumbled hair fell partly over, his visor that protected his eyes from the glare ‘tried to rise. ie, has, a —" ee Le —— of the overhead light--made up the group. The table passive under the heat and light, still held to his‘e Lefever took a position at one end of the ta where he faced Sandusky, and De Spain, just behind h shoulder, had a chance to look the two Calabasas me closely over. Sandusky again impressed him as 4 pow erful man, who, beyond an ample stomach, caret) R i weight without showing it. What De Spain most noteé as it lay on the table, was the size and extreme | ngt of the outlaw’s hand. He had heard of Sandus*y’s — hand. From the tips of the big fingers to the bese — of the palm, this right hand, spread over his chips, cover half again the engtn of the hand of the average man. ee De Spain credited readily the extraordinary stories: he had heard of Sandusky’s dexterity with a revolver or @ rifle.” That he should so lately have missed a shot at so close range was partly explained now that De Spain perceived Sandusky’s small, bard, brown eyes. e somewhat unnaturally bright, and that his brows nit every little while in his effort to collect himself. Bu bis stimulation only partly explained the failure; it was) notoriously hard to upset the powerful outlaw wit al- | cohol. De Spain noted the coarse straw-colored hair— plastered recently over the forehead by a barber—the _ heavy, sandy mustache, freshly waxed by the same hand, ‘ the bellicose nostrils of the Roman nose, the broad, split sf chin and mean, deep lines of a most unpromising face. — Sandusky’s brown shirt sprawled open at the collar and : De Spain remembered again the flashy waistcoat, _ © “ fastened at the last buttonhbdle by a cut-glass button. ie At Sandusky’s side sat his crony in all important undertakings—a much smaller, sparer man, with @- | gressive shoulders and restless eyes. Logan was the § ~ lookout of the pair, and his roving glance lighted on ~*~ | De Spain before the latter had inspected him more than @ moment. He lost no time in beginning on De — Spain with an _ insolent question as to what he was — ~ looking at. De Spain, his eye bent steadily on him, answered with a tone neither of apology nor pronounced offense: “I am looking at you.” Lefever hitched at his trousers cheerily and, stepping away from De Spain, took a position just behind the dealer. “What are you looking at me for?” demenger Logan insolently. Be De Spain raised his voice to match exactly the tone 7 a the inquiry. ‘So I'll know you next time”’ | a Logan pushed back his chair. As he turned his legs = from under the table to rise, a hand rested on his shoulder. He looked up and saw the brown face and feeble smile of Scott. Logan with his nearest foot Kicked Sandusky. Thg big fellow looked up and around, Either by chance, or in following the sound of the last voice, his glance fell on De Spain. He scrutinized for a suspicious instant the burning eyes and the red mark iow on the cheek. While he did so—comprehension dawning on him-—his enormous hands, forsakifig the pile of chips with which both had been for a moment busy, flattened out, palms down, on the faro table.

Logan pointed at De Spain. “That ~ Medicine Bend duck wants a fight.” “With a man, Logan; not’ with a cub,” retorted De Spain, matching insult with insult. “Maybe I can do something for you,” interposed San- dusky: His eyes ran like a flash around the table. He saw how Lefever had pre-empted the best place,in the room. He looked up and back at the man standing now at his shoulder, and almost between Logan and himself. It was the Indian, Scott. Sandusky felt, as his faculties cleared and arranged themselves every instant, there was no hurry whatever about lifting his hand; he could not be faced down without a show of re- sistance, and he concluded that for this occasion his tongue was the best weapon. “If I can,” he added stiffly, “{ am at your sérvice.” | a De Spain made no answer beyond keeping his eyes well on Sandusky’s eyes. Tenison, overhearing the last words, awoke to the situation and rose from his case. He made his way through the crowd around the dis- putants and brusquely directed the dealer to close the game. While Sandusky was cashing in Tenison took Logan aside. What Tenison said was not audible, but it sufficed to quiet the little fellow. The only thing further to be settled was as to who should leave the room last,,;since neither party was willing to go first. Tenison, after a formal conference with Lefever and Logan; offered to take Sandusky and Logan by a pri- vate stairway to the billiard room, while Lefever took De Spain and Scott out by way of the main entrance. This was arranged, and when the railroad men reached the street rain had ceased falling. 0 Scott warned De Spain to keep within doors, and De ~ Spain promised to do so. But when they left him he ~ started out at onge to see whether he could not, by sone happy chance, encounter Nan. ON ee De en: Rey eT ee ee eee tas ab * (Copyright, 1916, by Charles Scribner's Sons.) (To Be Continued Next Sunday.) THE VBROU ARFARE is turning customs topsy-turvy, says the Paris Temps. Times immemorial have found orders transmitted on the battlefield by orderlies, mounted on fleet horses. With the advent of the telephone, telegraph and wireless this war opened out with a full exploitation of these devices. In fact, modern warfare in the sense of the present ex- periences has become a systematized linking together of ancient Mars with modern invention. There is not a field of intellectual endeavor that has not yielded its crop of roeans and methods—chemistry, mechanics, air and wa- ter, electricity, economics, high finance, surgery, medi- cine, down to the regulation trades and manufactures. But superfine often becomes too fine, and the very excess of scientific finesse is nullifying itself in some directions. When four or six hundred thousand shells plow up the ground daily in a square mile of trenches, the telephone connections cannot outlive the onslaught; carrier pigeons are birds of peace, and cannot be of serv- ice in the tempest of battle: optical signals, as soon as hoisted, succumb to the well-directed fire. The General Staff has, therefore, been compelled to fall back upon N RUNNERS” couriers—runners. All orders at Verdun are carried by them—three select mer, one sent after the a cae with the self-same message, as experience has shown — that only one out of three usually reaches his Boal.

He had this to say on the physical development of the young: © “Up to the age of 10, the ‘kiddies’ should be allowed free vent to their own imagination in play. There should not be too many restrictions, From 10 to 16 years is the period “of habit and char- acter building. Properly supervised playgrounds with attendants who know their business cannot be too highly recommended for *he youngsters. “Play is a fundamental means ig education, because it is a natural instinct. In play a child imitates its forebears and re- peats their life’s history in many ways. A desire to excel is in every child. It should be encouraged. “The gravest handicap the American boy has his father. Through many physical deformities by indulging in one or more of the manifold forms of dissipation and the neglect of his physi- cal education, his weaknesses are transmitted to his children. “Boys should never be allowed to train so lorg or as strenuously as men, as nature is unrelenting and one of her demands is that no person should emgage in physical exertion that will use up the supply of bodily energy and vitality that is required for the proper growth of bone and muscle. “Youth is the growing time; all exercise should be of the kind to promote growth rather than retard it. The object of physical training is to bring the body into a natural and original state of health and manly vigor, so that a man may sustain an urusual strain upon his powers without that injury which is inseparable from a want of condition. “The popular notion that to ‘train’ means the undergoing of all sorts of hardships in order to increase the muscular power for a time, with the result of undermining and permanent injury to the constitution in the future may be dismissed at once as utterly wrong. “No hard, fast and irksome adherence is necessary, nor is it imperative that any kind of a course in gym- nastics sould be followed to the letter, in order that one’s everyday life it is necessary to depend largely vwpon the ele- ments of nature.

He has no desire for the life of the professional “strong man,” although now and then he has demonstrated is lhe “merry-go-round,” in which Boyd supports cight men, weighing 1600 pounds, on his cheat for tire minutes. Passing a Vacation on the Floor of the Ocean BS RE Pe te RR ge eet ate _ IMON LAKE is building in his shipyard at Bridge- port the most extraordinary pleasure craft that ever sailed or steamed a sea. In this boat the inventor and suimarine engineer, probably ac- companied by members of his family and chosen friends, is soon to set out on an unique vacation. It will be spent on the bottom of the Caribbean, literally flower gathering on the floor of the ocean. “We expect to be ready in two or three months,” said lake. “When we are we vill get down into the West Indies by cool weather and spend some months ex- amining and exploring the ocean bottom. .The subma- rine gardens in the Antilles have always interested me and I intend to examine them at lefure on the bottom instead of from the top. The expedition will be mainly for pleasure, but it will also have its scientific aspect. There is nothing at all strange about it. I have gone vielting on the ocean floor many times before.” The apparatus consists of two craft, a surface mother- boat and a small submarine cruiser, the two connected a great tube. In action the little submarine runs the bottom on specially designed wheels, after manner of the automobile, furnishing the power its own motor. It drags the surface boat slowly wake. When not in use, tube and submarine the surface and are pushed ahead of the mother. | the surface boat, in itself a remarkable fF, stands on the stocks with a score of mechanics working out its intricate equipment. Lake calls it a modified houseboat. For the comfort of the party it will have four state rooms, a dining room, galley, aig rou eee ae . a ak 5 ee a ba gree & EE i me Le = a = e’. ~ . . ty de? crew's mess room and a complete garage, all above deck. Be.ow deck will be the engine room, cargo hold and the crew’s living quarter... The most remarkable feature of this boat will be the special well for receiving, holding and controlling the upper end of the great tube which connects with the submarine. In addition there will be a new special device for picking up a power tender in a seaway. This craft measures 100 by 20 feet over all. The great tube, 4 feet 6 inches in diameter, is built in adjustable sections specially designed to resist sea pressure at considerable depths. The tube is 120 feet long and may be extended to 150 feet. The greatest depth at which he has as yet operated with a subma- rine boat, Lake said, was 250 feet. “We do not know what the limit of depth is at which we can operate the submarine at the end of the tube,” said the inventor. ““‘We are certain we can go down 300 feet and are inclined to believe a depth of 500 prac- ticable.” The submarine boat, the heart of the matter, is an ordinary Lake submarine in miniature, save that most of the space is given over to the comfort of the people who will work in it on the bottom. The dimensions of this boat are 25x9 feet. It will be equipped with plate glass portholes in which the glass will be 1% inches thick.

This little sea-bottom traveler is equipped with a lock system whereby it will be possible to open a spe- ctal door in the bottom of the boat, letting an operator step out upon the sea floor. Where this is done the great tube comes into special prominence. Air pres- sure is brought down the tube from the mother boat and exerted at the chamber conta‘ning the door, so that the pressure of the water, the chief problem in subsea operations, is neutralized. By this means the diver will be able to operate in perfect comfort.

Where and by what means the “U C 5” was captured the British Admiralty does not reveal. But it bap- pened that one day certain patrol boats and destroy- ers came to the conclusion that the pest was. some- where in a square mile or so of open water off the British coast. ‘‘We adopted measures which I shall not waste your time in describing,’ blandly observed a naval officer to inquiring newspaper men, “and the result was that Fritz was caught, much against his will.” When the boat was: trapped, the commander of a British destroyer, through a megaphone, summoned the German to surrender. The crew held up their hands and presently jumped into the sea. As the destroyer’s boat, after picking them up and taking them to the destroyer, Was returning to the submarine, another maa was seen to jump off her into che sea, and simultaneons- ly several violent explosions took place on board her. The Germans had not leaped into the sea because they feared the English would mistreat them, but because they knew their commander was down in the hull busily setting four bombs to” blow up his ship. A sublieutenant in charge of the rowboat put on a gas mask and. descended through the conning tower hatch. He found that the submarine had been badly toled and had two feet of water in her. The craft had a full cargo of 12 mines, but two had been dislodged by the explosion and were bumping about loose, likely to explode at any moment. Had this happened the sub- marine and everyone near it would have been blown to atoms. for each mine is powerful enough to destroy the biggest ship afloat. ‘Iowever, an officer, whose name has not been pub- lished—to whom the D. 8. O. was awarded—donned a diving suit and rendered them harmless. The holes in the hull were plugged up, the British nava) ensign was flown above the German eagle, to show that the sub- marine was a naval prize, and she was towed to the mouth of the Thames.

She carried 12 mines on each trip, and every mine cost $2000 or more. It was believed that the boat was built in four sections, sent by train to Zeebrugge and there put to- gether; and that she made her mine-laying sorties from that port. Twenty-six men were taken prisoners, five officers and 21 men.

When the steward had PA eft him, Jimmie pinned the - fo letters upon the pillow, changed the steamer cap fer an Alpine hat, and be. . theugh he were -arour to paint his portrait. Then two of the other boarders. chums of the landlord, knocked at | the door, to borrow a match, | to beg the loan of the morn- ing paper. Each was obvi- ously excited, each stared ac- cusingly. Jimmie fell into a panic. He felt that if already his identity was questioned, than hiding in his room and growing a beard nothing could be more suspicious. At noon, for West Indian ports, a German boat was listed to sail from the Twenty-fourt. street wharf. Jimmie decided at once to sail with her, and, until his beard was grown, not to return. It was neces : sary first to escape the su® te P eath a raincoat concealed a his evening clothes. He had purpose'y selected the Geek cabin furthest aft. Accordingly, when after mak- _ tig the cabin dark he slipped from it, the break in the stock that separated the first from the second class ss ES was but a step distant. The going ashore ey had sounded, and more tumult than would have - followed had the ship struck a rock now spread to every ee: With sharp commands officers were speeding the ng guests; the parting guests were shouting good- 3 and sending messages to Aunt Maria; quartermas- - tars howled hoarse warnings. donkey engines panted 4 Fe pees the weight of belated luggage, fall and tackle " Sroaned and strained. And the ship’s siren, enraged at : the delay, protested in one long-drawn-out, inarticulate shriek Jimmie slipped down the accommodation ladder that ted to the well-deck, side-stepped a yawning hatch, dodged a swinging cargo net stuffed with trunks, and entered the second-class smoking room. From there he elbowed his way to the second-class promenade deck. A Stream of tearful and hilarious visitors who, like sheep in a chute, were being herded down the gangway, en- gulfed him. Unresisting, Jimmie let himself, by weight of numbers, be carried forward. _A moment later he was shot back to the dock and to that country from which at that moment. in deck cabin A4, he was supposed to be drawing steadily away. Dodging the electric lights, on foot he made his way to his lodging house. The nigh} was warm and moist, end, seated on the stoop, stripped to shirt and trousers, was his landlord. ; He greeted Nmmie affably. “Evening, Mr. Hull,’ he said. keep you awake.” Jimmie thanked him and passed hurriedly. * “Mr. Hullt” The landlord had said it. Somewhere out at sea, between Fire Island and Scot- land Lightship, the waves were worrying with what once had been Jimmie Blagwin, and in a hall bedroom on Twenty-third street, Henry Hull} with frightened eyes, sat staring across the wharves, across the river, thinking of the farmhouse on Long Island. His last week on earth had been more of a strain on Jimmie than he appreciated; and the night the Ceramic Balled he slept the drugged sleep of complete nervous exhaustion. Late the next morning, while he still slept, a passenger on the Ceramic stumbled upon the t of his disaffpearance. The man knew Jimnie: had greeted him the night before when he came on board. and was seeking him that he might subscribe to a pool on tbe run. When to his attack on Jimmie’s door there Was no reply, he peered through the air port, saw on the pillow, where Jimmie’s head should have been, two letters and reported to the purser. Already the ship was 300 miles from where Jimmie had announced he would drown himself: a search showed he was not on board, and the evidence of a smoking room steward, who testified that at I o’clock he had left Mr. Plagwin alone on deck, gazing “mournful-like” at “Hope this heat won't At the public library he consulted half a dozen books, and selected his particular malady. Fire Island, seemed to prove Jimmie had carried out his threat. When later the same passenger the steward had mistaken for Jimmie appeared in the smoking room and ordered a drink from him, the steward was rattled. But as the person who had last seen Jimmie Blagwin alive he had gained melancholy interest, and as his oft-told tale was bringing him many®*shillings, he did not correct it. Aceordingly, from Cape Sable the news of Jimmie’s suicide was reported. That afternoon it ap- peared in all the late editions of the evening papers Pleading fever, Jimmie explained to his landlord that for him to venture out by day was most dangerous, and sent, the landlord after the newspapers. The feelings with which he read them were mixed. He was proud of the complete success of his plot, but the inevitable- ness of it terrified him. The success was too complete. He had left himself no loophole. He had locked the door on himself and thrown the key out of the window Now, that she was lost to him forever, he foun4, if that were possible, he loved his wife more devotedly than be- fore. He felt that to live in the same world with Je- anne and never speak to her, never even look at her, couid not be borne. He was of a mind to rush to the wharf and take another leap into the dark waters, this time without a life line. From this he was restrained only by the thought that if he used infinite caution, at infrequent intervals, at a great distance, he still might look upon his wife. This, he assured himself, would be possible only after many years had aged him and turned his hair gray. Then on second thought he believed to wait so long was not absolutely necessary. It would be safe enough, he argued, if he grew a beard. He always had been clean shaven, and he was confident a beard would disguise him. He wondered how long a time must pass before one would grow. Once on a hunting trip he had gone for two weeks without shaving, and the result had not only disguised him but disgusted him. His face had changed to one like those carved on cocoanuts. A recol- lection of this gave him great pleasure. His spirits rose happily. He saw himself in ‘he rags of a tramp, his face hidden in an unkempt beard, skulking behind the hedges that surrounded his house. From this viewpoint, before sailing away from he, furever, he would again steal a look at Jeanne. He actermined to postpone his de- tarture until he had grown a beard. Meanwhile he would plead illness and keep to his room, or venture out only at night. Comforted by the thought that in two weeks he might again see his wife, as she sat on the ter- race or walked in her gardens, he sank peaceably to sleep. The next morning the landlord brought him the pa- pers. In them were many pictures of himself as a master of foxhounds, as a polo player, as a gentleman jockey The landlord looked at him curiously. Five minutes jater, on a trivial excuse, he returned and again ‘the suspicious landlord, picious landlord, and to that end he noiselessly packed his trunk and suit case. In ‘front of the house, in an unending procession, taxicabs returning empty from the Twenty-third street ferry passed the door, and from the street Jimmie hailed one. Before the landlord could voice his doubts, Jimmie was on the sidewalk, his bill had been paid, and, giving the address of a hotel on Fourteenth street, he was away. At the Fourteenth street hotel Jimmie dismissed the taxicab and asked for a room adjoining an imaginary Senator Gates. When the clerk told him Sénator Gates was not at that hotel, Jimmie excitedly demanded to be led to a telephone. He telephoned the office of the steamship lines and, in the name of Henry Huil, secured a cabin. Then he explained to the clerk that over the telephone he had learned that his friena, Senator Gates, was at another hotel. He regretted that he muct follow fim. Another taxi was called and Jimmie drove to an inconspicuous and old-fashioned hotel on the lowe. East Side, patronized éxclusively by gunmen. Ther, in not finding Senator Gates, he was again disappointed, and now, having broken the link that connected him with he drove back to within half a block of his original starting point and went on board the ship. Not until she was off Sandy Hook did he leave his cabin. It was July, and passengers to the tropics were few; and when Jimmie ventured on deck he found most of them gathered at the port rail. They were gazing in- tently over the ship’s side. Thinking the pilot might be leaving, Jimmie joined them. A young man in a yachting cap was pointing north and speaking in the voice of a conductor of a “seeing New York” car. “Just between that lighthouse and the bow of this ship,”” he exclaimed, “is where yesterday James Blag- win jumped overboard. At any moment we may see the body!” An excitable pasSenger cried aloud and pointed at some floating seaweed. “I'll bet that’s it now!” he shouted. Jimmie exclaimed indignantly. “T’ll bet you $10 it isn’t!”’ he said. In time the ship touched at Santiago, Kingston and Colon, but, fearing recognition, Jimmie saw these places only from the deck. He traveled too fast for newspapers to overtake him, and those that on the return passage met the ship, of his death gave no details. So, except that his suicide had been accepted. Jimmie knew noth- ing. Least of all did he know, or even guess, that his act of renunciation, intended to bring to Jeanne happi- ness, had nearly brought about her own end. She be- lieved Jimmie was dead, but not for a moment did she Lelieve it was for fear of blindness he had killed him- self. She and Maddox had killed him. Between them they had murdered the man who, now that he was gone, she found she toved devotedly. To a shocked and frightened letter of condolence from Maddox she wrote one that forever ordered him out of her life. (TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEE.)

CHANDLER, an inven- tor, who has made a close study of submarine problems, has worked out a system of applying micro- phones to mines so that it would be pos- sible fo blow up a submarine trying to worm its way into a mine-protected har- bor, or a battleship seeking to enter a harbor at night or in a dense fog. He explains his plan in the July Popular Science Monthly. “In my system,” writes Mr. Chandler, “the mines are arranged in groups of four, each group constituting a field unit. On each mine a microphone is mounted. “A mine field equipped with micro- phones in the manner indicated is elec- trically connected with a luminous an- munciator. In other words, wires run from each microphone to a board which . is divided into’squares corresponding in number with those of the mine-field units. Behind each square a lamp is mounted. As a hostile ship passes through a mine field the nearest microphones pick up the vibrations of her propellers and the corresponding lamps on the board glow. “Imagine New York Harbor mined and microphoned in the manner that | have described; imagine the mines connected with a luminous annunciator at Fort Wadsworth; imagine a submarine crawl- ing very, very cautiously through the field, thrusting aside with careful anten- na the anchor chains of the buoyant mines in its path. An American officer glues his eyes on the luminous board. One by.one the squares glow before him 19, 36, 53, 66. Unwittingly the subma- rine’s commander plots his course in a trail of light. He cannot be seen with human eyes, and yet he is as visible, electrically at least, as a goldfish in a glass bowl. ‘Spare 78,” says the Ameri- can officer to himself, as a new light flashes up. The time has come for decisive action. He pulls a handle and switches the precision indicator into electrical con- He lay in wait and shot a Dunkard preacher whom he suspected of furnish- ing information to the Union army.

A St. Louis dealer in sec- ondhand books found not long ago that he could make more money by tearing the covers off his stock and selling it as waste paper than he could selling it by the volume. The writer saw a huge stack of these books in the plant of the Federal Paper Stock Co., 1814 North Main street. Most of the waste comes from printing shops and newspaper offices. Even trim- mings from paper cutters that formerly were thrown away are valuable. Dave Charak of the Federal company, estimat- ed that between 200 and 250 tons are handled in St. Louis every day. That is quite a lot of paper. It is sorted and baled in much the same way rags are. Besides the two large wholesale establish- ments there are several smaller waste- paper dealers in the city. From all of which it may easily be seen that Mr. Boffin, the Golden Dustman of Dickens’ “Our Mutual Friend,” was only a piker in the gentle art of getting rieh out of wastage, as compared to the wholesale junk dealers of St. Louis in the year 1916. ° FREE TO | ASTHMA SUFFERERS A New Home Cure That Anyone Can Use Without Discomfort or Loss of Time.

At the same moment a cable coiled in the weight weuld be released, permitting the mine, made to float in water, to rise to wards the surface But an afitomatic device regulated the escape of the cable «# as to hold the mine station- ary a few feet below the level of the sea, and thus keep it invisible. If it could be seen, it could be avoided and captured. In the topmost illustra- tion on this page the “U C 5” is seen submerged, with the bew towards the specta- tor. A portion of the outer skin of the hull has been remov in order to show the position in which the 12 mines were stored. These polished black globes with their ominous antennae were housed in a single line of cylinders, from which the mines were released by the action of levers fixed to the cylinders. In the diagrammatic view given here one of the mines is seen sinking towards the sea bottom. The manner in which the mine ultimately rests upon the bottom is shown in the lowest il- lustration, the four hinged arms having fallen fiat and formed an anchor for the mine. The middle illustration is a closer view of the type of mine employed by the “U C 5.” [It consists of a large spherical chamber filled with guncotton, to which are attached the detonators. Holding it in position are the hinged arms or guides, which drop down when the mine reaches the bottom, permitting & to rise. Be- neath the mine chamber is the pulley which connects with the drum in the base. This mine Is not, of course, in its proper position in the submarine’s tubes, but is displayed on the superstructure. A remarkable feature shown in the first drawing is the wire drawn taut from stem to stern and passing over the top of the conning tower. This is called a “jumping wire,” and is designed to aid in negotiating wire net defenses. As the bow passes beneath the net, this is engaged by the taut wire, and is supposed to slide upwards and over it without any part of the craft becoming entangled. Anyone who is familiar with the appearance of the typical German U-Boat will see at once that the “U C 5” fs a totally different type of boat. A noticeable dif- ference is the narrow deck, sloping downwardly from the conning tower to bow and stern. The standard U-boat is distinguished by a broader deck, which runs without any sheer straight from stem to stern. The minelayer has every appearance of having been rapidly and somewhat roughly constructed. There is a lack of fairness in the lines and a want of finish in the plating and riveting, which would indicate that “U C 5” and her sisters are experimental boats Ex- cept for the mishap to this captured boat, the little craft would seem to have been very successful in their mine-laying expeditions, and there can be no doubt that many of the losses of ships, in what were sup- posed to be mine-swept waters, were due to the secrecy with which the mine-laying can be done from a submarina, PAGE THREE z - Jeane sew " BE . 2 ‘ ’ I 8 Ps oo a a eR A ARON ARN, A I . ; a on at cataid unt Pi + ty . 2 os 2 ae 7 bait 7 ’ met Eas oat Al Pal en aa. bas Sant ght a ‘ 2.

Johnston, Machinists’ President en ee. Se GON Mee ee Fe aaa “Long may it wave,” said William H. Johnston, Interna- tional President of the Interna- tional Association of Machinists, in presentipg a large American flag to the Durham Duplex Razor Company, and “Long may. it wave,” chorused 400 voices of the workers who were to occupy the new plant. The incident came as one item of a most unusual celebration, one which should do much to demonstrate that the flag of the working class at large is but one flag—Red, White and- Blue. The Durham Duplex plant had been ‘burnt out, and all local records were broken in the rebuilding of a new one. On opening day a half-holiday was granted the employees in order that there might be a formal opening of the new building. Four hundred strong, led by a band playing “The Star Span- gled Banner.” headed by 300 girls, each carrying Old Glory as they marched from the old burned-out structure through the streets of Jersey City, were witnessed by thousands of peo- ple along the line of march. Some there probably were who observed the demonstration without attempting to divine its purpose, and for them it was merely a spectacle. That the great mass of people who viewed the imspiring turnout of the Durham Duplex workers were impressed with the fact that they were witnessing an unusual and epoch- making spectacle in the commercial history of Jersey City, there is not the slightest doubt, for they saw 400 men and women voluntarily giving a public manifestation of gratitude for considerate and square treatment at the hands of their employers. That is the whole crux of the story in so far as the Durham people and their employees are concerned, It remained for a labor union man and a a member of the Jersey City Chamber of Commerce to discern and enthusiastically voice the far-reaching influ- ence which this initial public demonstration in Jersey City of affectionate co-operation between capital and labor will have on the industrial and commercial life of this locality. Arriving at the new plant, International President of the Machinists’ Union William H. Johnston was introduced by General Sales Manager S. W. Apgar, who acted as Chair- man of the Employees’ Committee, to present the Company officials with the flag. After pointing out that the flag stands for “a square deal,” he said: “The prosperity and success of this establishment has been due largely to the spirit of co-operation that has been manifested by both the employer and employee. I would that all employers and that all employees would emulate the example that has so well been set by officers and em- ployees of this company. — “The Flag stands for equal rights—for human rights. Nearly all the trouble in our world to-day is caused through misunderstandings—men failing to recognize the rights of others. We as employees must learn to recog- nize the rights of the employer; the employer, on the other hand, must recognize the rights of his employees. Modern industry is a partnership. The success of an in- dustry depends not altogether on the management, but on the joint efforts, the co-operative efforts, of both the em- ployer and the employee. Both have rights which should be respecied and which will be best served by a recogni- tion on the part of both that they have a right to a voice in determining the conditions under which men shall labor, and sitting down and reasoning out the difficulties rather than by using the tactics of the primitive ages—the tactics of might and force. “I am glad to say, as a representative, that the labor movement stands for purity, stands for virtue, stands for equal rights for men and women.” In presenting the flag the speaker said: “Long may it wave here to-day I want you to re- 3% * % ee. i i i hh Mi el Mi Ml Mi Mi Ml Mi i Me i Mi ti tl i Me i i i i i ss... eee ee ee ee eee PPP PPP PPP FFP FP FP PPP PPP PPA A PA PD SS OE eee ll ll i i i i i dd Extract From Official Programme “The attitude of labor toward capital is determined, to @ very considerable extent, by the treat- ment the workers receive at the hands of their employers. <A& employees, we feel that the Dur- ham Duplex Razor Company has endeavored to make our working conditions and wages as satis- factory as their business has warranted. “We acknowledge and appreci- ate the eight-hour day that has been granted, and will do our best to increase the quantity and quality of the output. “We extend to the Company our heartiest congratulations on the completion of its new build- ing, and trust that its growth in the past may be but'a milestone on the road to its future suc- cess.”—S. W. APGAR, Chairman of the Employees Committee. This tribute to Capital by Le bor was a public expression by employees of the Durham Duplex Razor Company at the celebdra- tion of the opening of the new plant to show their goodwill toward their employers because of the fair treatment received the Central and Middle Western States, then presented the offcials. with a large green-and-white pennant, the regular company flag. Mr. Loughrey said the expression of goodwill which he had just witnessed as existant be- tween employers and employees had impressed him to such an extent that he was powerless to express himself, i i se i i ee i i i i ih be be pied i i i i i i Me member you have presented to the factory of the Durham )PDu- plex Company an American Flag, and | want you to say [o labor in every speech you make that that is the flag we want to. tack on the workshop of every city af this country of ours, and when the Stars and Stripes fly over our workshops we don't care whose warships attempt to enter New York Harbor.” Charles Bolt, Chairman of the Committee of Industrial Re- lations of the Jersey City Cham- ber of Commerce, said he had al- ways expressed the desire to see absolute harmony between the employer and the employee, and was well pleased to see it éxem- plified by the Durham Duplex Razor Company, and a thing that will make a better Jersey City is manifested here to-day— co-operation and goodwill be- tween employer and employee. I believe in justice, but to my mind there is a greater thing— goodwill and brotherhood. Rally around that standard and you will not only be a credit to yourself, but to that noble flag, the Stars and Stripes, which has been unfurled in our pres- ence. The Parade and the Flag Presented by Employees to Employers Peter F. Loughrey, sales manager of.the company in save by suggesting three cheers for Mr. Sheehan. The ac- ceptance of his suggestion was to be heard blocks away. Thomas C. Sheehan, Vice-President and General Manager of the Durham Duplex Razor Company Commissioner Henry Byrne said: “I feel to-day as I felt seven and a half years ago, when I induced the Dur- ham Duplex Razor Company to come to Jersey City, that it is an establishment by whose location the city, is bound to profit, and hope we will have a lot of other industries of the same kind.” Senator Farley, the first trades unionist ever elected to the Senate in Pennsylvania, and George Leary of the In- ternational Metal Polishers, Buffers, Platers, Brass and Silver Workers’ Union were the other speakers, and felt honored to be called upon to speak at a celebration in which it was so greatly demonstrated that Old Glory was the flag of both capital and labor.

Sheehan, vice- president and general manager of the company, was then called to the stand and received a “big hand” from the great crowd of employees banked solidly in front of the stand. For seven years, Mr. Sheehan reminded his employees, they had been listen- ing to him making speeches, and especially his “old speech’”— “Let us make more razors and let us make better razors.” “That is what we built this factory for,” he said. “You have done many good things and you have manifested a good spirit, but to-day you have done some- thing bigger than you will ever do again in your lives. You have said something big to-day when you said that with labor begins the protection of the American Flag and that labor ends that protection. Without the co-oper- ° ation and without the assistance of the mechanic any degree of preparation is impossible.

Then came the test and its answer. When the President's call ‘for the militia came Durham Du- plex had their share—-not a man hesitated—“long may it wave” was a heart-graven motto, and the men who carried and cheered their flag are now in Texas as their coun *pro- tectors.

At once he conceived the outlines of what appeared to be a brilliant joke. He walked up to the box, broke the little glass in its front and pressed on a lever. Then, perhaps, he chuckled and walked to a safe spot and waited to see the fun. Most of the firemen of Engine Company No. 31 were in their bunks when the alarm came in. They sprang to their places. The horses flew to their positions and, when the automatic harness fell, pawed impa- tiently to be away. John O'Connor, a fine, stalwart, courage- ous Man, sprang to the driver’s seat and reached for the reins. One of them dropped. As he tried to recover it, the horses lunged and he fell headfirst to the floor, where he lay all crumpled up. Somebody pulled him to one side, another driver took his place, the engine went on its way. Then a doctor came and looked at Jack O'Connor. Jack was dead, with a. broken neck. It is interesting to wonder whether the man who pulled the hook enjoyed his joke. It is interesting also to speculate on the nature of the mental makeup of such a man—whether it permits him to feel that he is guilty of Jack O’Connor’s death. It was a similar “joke” that sent Hook and Ladder Company No. 15 to Euclid and Cote Brilliante avenuzes on the night of July 4. The truck collided with a street car at Euclid. Capt. Farrell and Firemen A. Gradeil and J. Haberstroh were thrown to the ground and so cruelly mangled that they are not yet -ble to return to duty. Capt. John Detwiler lay on a bed of suf- fering for 67 days, early in 1914, with both arms and his nose broken and his back badly wrenched because another idiot turned in a false alarm from Klemm street and Flora boulevard. Fireman George Har- baugh was out of service for 53 days with a fractured skull and Fireman E. Sedivec was out 30 days with a wrenched back from the same accident, a collision between their truck and a street car. On the night of Nov. 7, 1915, Edward A. Murphy of 1812 O'Fallon street, was run over by a fire truck responding to a false alarm, and was sent to the city hospital with both legs broken. On the night of Dec. 5, 1915, Lieut. William Haas of Engine Company No. 11 was thrown from his wagon _ when responding to a false alarm and was severely in- jured. On the night of July 27 last, G. Wadsack, a fireman, was badiy hurt when the truck on which he was rid- ing, after a false alarm, struck a tree. In every one of these affairs, honest, decent, law- abiding men, trying to do their perilous duty for the public, were hurt because of a quirk in the brain of rt of a fireman’s job to take death, for instance, is our eyes. It'll go hard those guys if the boys some of these days with ever get him dead to rights.” Every man, from the Chief on down to the newest ‘2 ~¢«* v -* o ys o” iy *% ame ents all . /~ ‘ ris . . ~_ ~ = Te, irre, ’ ae toa " 6 c. re = @ * p> @ : ts tr, = ‘ta . Ps - Re RPANIER tin ee . alarms are turned in by children. according to Chief Henderson. This is not true, Most of them, the Chief says, are turned in by men and particularly by men who drive various kinds of delivery wagons late at night. One of these sees a box, the Chief declares, turns in an alarm, drives on a block or so and waits to see what happens. The streets usually are deserted at the time, they are not detected at their work and consequently escape all punishment. ) The law provides a maximum penalty of imprisonmeht in the peniten- tiary for this offense, yet it is rarely inflicted because it is hard to obtain enough evidence for an arrest, to say nothing of conviction. Children are caught more frequently. They are in- variably turned over to the Juvenile Court and an of- ficial of the Fire Department takes a hand in the prose- cution. Whenever it is found to be a case merely of prankishness, the matter is usually ended by a stiff reprimand and by a recommendation that a parent of the child administer a sound spanking. The recom- mendation is generally followed and the result, Chief Henderson says, in most cases is salutary. fs “It is with adults that the real trouble comes.” the Chief added. “If we could only get the public to realize the enormity of the offense and to look upon the man who turns in a false alarm as an individual dangerous to the public welfare, who ought at once to be surrendered to the authorities, we could soon break up the practice.” Most of the serious accidents to trucks going to fires come from collisions with street cars. City ordinances false alarms turned in is simply amazing. The total from Jah. 1, 1913, to Aug. 1, 1916, was 1934, an average of a little more than 45 a month.

Most of the motormen do this, the Chief says. Some of them do not but try to beat the engines across a street intersection. fe a Fe a " £6 = om « - "SJ ted ee OF wre i Ae? the 4 a ee ~ : . a < Mee “The United Railways as a corporation ,) invariably co-operate with us,” the Chief BE F explained. “Some of the individual motor- Pee Ab; men do not. They usually advance the ia es “@ plea that, shut up in their vestibules, they ‘tPs8 did not hear the bells. It is often hard to disprove this. When we can do so, the street car company always fires the man and he cannot get his job back again. As a general thing, we have little trouble with motorists. They ‘nearly always give us right of way when they can.” Most firemen believe that the traffic regu- lations of St. Louis for such emergencies are antiquated and insufficient. Although our ordinances require all cars and autos to stop when the fire engines are coming, they are not rigidly obeyed as they are in other cities—in New York, for instance. There the law says that traffic shall stop and it does stop. However, there are three or four traffic policemen on all corners in con- gested districts to see that it does. Kansas City and other towns also have an admirable arrangement to stop traffic in congested districts. There on downtown corners are electric gongs. As soon as engines are started these gongs begin ringing, much like the bells at block sig- nals on certain railroads. This is a signal to clear the thoroughfare, and the fire en- gines have an open road for minutes be- fore they actually appear. Chief Henderson has tried to get a siml- lar arrangement authorized by the St. Louis Board of Aldermen. It would cost about $30,000 if electricity is furnished free by public service corporations, and our city lawmakers have not seen fit to incur the ex- pense. “If we had such gong signals, though,” the Chief declared, “I would rather put them at places outside the downtown dis- trict. Really we have very few accidents downtown. They usually happen out in quiet neighborhoods, late at night. “I'll tell you what our worst trouble is, though, and it’s going to cost St. Louis a big conflagration some day. It is the con- gestion of traffic on downtown streets, where autos are parked. Some of these days we are going to have a fire on a street, where it will take us half an hour or maybe more to get these cars out of our way, and by the time we have got a place cleared to work in the fire will be out of our control. A loss of five minutes getting to a fire is likely at any time to mean two or three additional hours getting the fire under control.” Curiously enough, many of the drivers of fire wagons believe that most collisions are really unavoidable accidents. “The bust-up usually comes so quick you don't know what has happened or how,” one of them said, “until somebody is pouring water in your face and bringing you to. We always try to get the horses under control when we approach a street car crossing and most of the motormen do the best they can. But some- time you are going along at a good clip and a street car is going at a good clip and before either you or the motorman realizes the danger—zowie! “We are always afraid of the motorman who tries to beat us to the crossing. Maybe he is a minute or two behind schedule or is trying to get to the end of the line a minute or two before so he can stop for a bit of lunch. There is usually a bunch of excited people on the corner. Some of them motion to us to come on and maybe some of them motion to the motorman that he can make it. The law says he oughtn’t to try to make it, but he goes ahead anyhow—there always are a few fools like that—and then it happens! “The public could do a lot of good and save a lot of danger in these cases if it could only be properly educated. If a few of these reckless motormen were reported to the street car company once in a while, it would stop such foolishness. Understand, we haven't any quarrel with the motormen in general. Most of them try to obey the law and help us out all they can. It’s the occasional fellow that takes a chance who makes all the trouble. “Maybe I feel pretty strongly about this, but it’s a serious matter for us fellows. You just put it into your paper that if the public will co-operate with -us in this matter and, above all, help us put the false-alarm fiend out of business, and we'll be satisfied.” Policemen, as a rule, co-operate with firemen in every way possible. Chief Henderson says he has never made a request of one at a fire Yass getting immediate wd satisfactory response. owever strict enforce- ment of the rules requir- ing street cars and auto- ists to stop at the approach of a fire engine has always been lax and there have been few arrests and prosecutions, The new parking ordi- nance for automobiles is proving helpful in keeping some of the downtown streets clear, although t.is fire fighters would like to see it extended until no four St. Louis Gfremen, victims of false-alarm accidents. : SUNDAY MAGAZINE--ST.
