The club was the sub- bet of several police reports to Excise 3 issioner Rumsey. re Regarding the Wascowitz case, Judge Neu said that after sentencing the man in acquaintance named Beckman—he did dot know his initials or his address— aiked him to suspend the sentence on de ground that Wascowitz's wife was ‘Penniless.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Sept. 26.—For the first time in the history of the Amer- ican army a Jewish rabbi will hold Yom Kippur, or day of atonement, services in a foreign country. This will be when Rabbi Isaac Landman of New Tork, corresponding secretary of the Conti- nental Conference of American Rabbis, conducts these services Oct. 6, with Gen. Pershing’s column in Mexico. He is here today, en route to Mexico. For the second itme in the history of the modern world Jewish New Year services, Sept. 27-28, will be held out of doors with an army column. The first time was at Metz, Germany, in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. LELAND STANFORD PROFESSOR KILLED IN FRENCH TRENCHES Went Home in 1914 to Serve in Army and Met Death in Fighting on Somme. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal., Sept. 2%6.—Assistant Professor Robert E. Pel- lissier of the department of French at Stanford University met his death in the French trenches at the battle of the Somme, according to a cablegram re- ceived here and made public today by President Ray Lyman Wilbur. Prof. Pel- lissier left Stanford in 1914 to take up arms for his native country. A year ago he was seriously wounded and on his recovery was promoted to a 3.7 feet; a fall FALSE TEETH CONTRABAND America by the British. LONDON, Sept. %—Many sets of false teeth bound for Germany are among 1200 packets of non-contraband mail seized on the sieamship Heligolau last March which has been released from the prize court as a result of the intercession of United States Consul General Skinner. These packages are to be returned to their owners in America and not for- warded, as was understood in some quarters, to the persons to whom they were addressed. Permission has been refused for a con- signment of American medicine to go to an American in Berlin, who asserted he could not otherwise recover his health. It is argued by the prize court authorities that he should be able to obtain a good substitute In Berlin.

Gore took up the Lurkins cow at tiie time, and when the owner came for it he was told that $1 damage had been done. Lurkins said he would pay it, but he did not have the money with him. Gore told him to take the cow along and settle later. Lurkins took the cow but failed to settle and the suit followed. Gore was required to put up $5 security for costs.

ARMORY GANGWAY FALLS 20 Persons Precipitated 5 Feet; Men Show Big Improve- ment in Bearing. The First Missouri Infantry, National Guard of the United States, returning to St. Louis this morning after a three months’ absence, two months of which were spent in pa- trol duty on the Mexican border, was welcomed with a public demonstration and a purade, of which its own splen- didly drilled lines formed the command- ing feature. A large gathering in Twelfth street, particularly near the reviewing stand at Pine street, cheered the start of the pa- rade. But on other downtown streets which the regiment and its escorts traversed, the sidewalk lines were made up largely of casual spectators, and it Was apparent that thousands of St. Louisans, through neglect or indiffer- ence, missed what proved to be a most inspiring spectacle, and an eloquent ar- gument for military preparedness. The regiment, which left St. Louis as the First Regiment, National Guard of Missouri, now bears a new name, show- ing that its men are soldiers of the United States. They are, however, free to return to their work, and will not be subject to future military require- ments, except the regular drills, unless another call for service should come from the Government. They will re- ceive pay for each drill. The soldierly bearing of the 1033 mem- bers of the regiment, officers and men, their even step, the precise angle at which they carried their guns, were all in the most marked contrast to the reg- iment’s appearance on the hot June aft- ernoon when it marched from its ar- mory to Union Station, for the journey to the State encampment grounds at * rade a Pretty Sicht. Then, “the men of the First were will- ing and enthusiastic volunteers. Today, they appeared as a body of soldiers, which need not fear comparison with any command of the regular army. The line was seen to the best advan- tage from upper windows on Broadway or Washington avenue. From windows Broadway. near Pine street, the reg- iment was seen extending in close for- mation, to Washington avenue, and the rhythmical undulation of the lines, with the undertone of the men’s tread on the pavement, was a stirring com- bination of sight and sound. The parade was formed on Twelfth street, south of Market, and started at 35. The mounted police and zouaves were followed by a municipal band and four camps of Spanish War Veterans. Two little boys and a girl, in soldier costumes, marched with Walker-Jen- nings Camp. Fifty veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic marched only from Market street to the Pine street reviewing stand, which they en- tered. The Mounted Officers’ Reserve Corps was headed by Chester Berg, Joseph B. Thomas, Adolphus Busch III and Leo Rassieur Jr. Then came Col. E. J. Spen- cer, marshal of the parade; Col. John A. Laird and Adjutant-General O’Meara, followed by the Officers’ Reserve Corps, which is composed of business and pro- fessional men. A small detachment of Boy Scouts immediately preceded the First Regiment. The entire parade was 20 minutes in passing the reviewing stand. I Company Gets Many Cheers, Col. Arthur B. Donnelly, Capt. and Adit. Freen Nulsen, and Lieutenant-Col- onel Robbins, rode at the head of the regiment. The companies marched in alphabetical order, from A to M inclu- sive, except that there is no J com- pany. I Company, which lays claim to special honors in drilling was cheered all along the line of march. The Mounted Scouts and Hospital Corps came at the end of the line. Gov. Major, Mayor Kiel and the Board of Aldermen were in the reviewing stand, with Maj. Kimball of the G. A. R., President Thompson of the Police Board and Excise Commissioner Rum- sey. The Governor declared, after the regiment had passed, that it was the best in the State, and as good, he be- lieved, as any in the regular army. The Mayor said he was thrilled by the sight, beyond his power of expression. On the downtown portion of the pa- bade route, there were many greetings to members of the regiment from friends and acquaintances. But the gathering place of near relatives, and others immediately interested in the militiamen, was near the Armory at Grand avenue and Market street. From Grand avenue was packed with these welcomers. North of Laclede avenue, to Lindell, the students of St. Louis Untversity formed an enthusiastic line on the sidewalk and in windows. an the escorting line formed south of Laclede avenue, and saluted the men of the First as they passed into the Armory, to the air of “Home, Sweet Home. It was difficult to keep the crowd sway from thé Armory door, and Col. Donnelly had to send out the an- rouncement that the Armory would be ‘open to the public by noon. It was opened, however, at 11:2. A section of the wooden gangway Taclede avenue south to the Armory. DIVIDENDS TWICE ITS EARNINGS PAID BY BANKERS TRUST Audjt Shows $678,383 Earned in 8 Years, $1,404,925 Given to Stockholders. Is Summoned Before Federal Grand Jury Investigating Management of Company. A remarkable showing of the boost- ing of valuations of Bankers Trust Co. stock on the market by the payment of nearly $1,500,000 in dividends in an 8- year period when the net earnings of the company were less than $630,000, is contained in an audit of the company’s books, prepared by Harry G.Ambrose, an expert accountant. Ambrose has been summoned before the Federal Grand Jury, which yesterday began an inquiry into Bankers Trust manage- ment. A compilation prepared by Ambrose shows that in 1906 Bankers Trust stock was selling at $160 a share and that by 1914 it had advanced on the market tes $295, although in only one year in that period had its net earnings been as much as was. paid out in dividends and although the bills payable of the company had been increased from $660,- 000 to $1,513,397.85. To secure this indebtedness the com- pany by 1914 had pledged more than $5,000,000 of its assets and having vir- tually all its assets pledged, could bor- row no more money. Then Dividends Ceased. Unable to borrow money, it could not pay dividends, its stock declined rapidly until it went as low as $20 a share, its quoted price when a recelver was ap- pointment. The audit that Ambrose is prepared to show the Federal grand jury, which is seéking to determine whether there is basis for criminal charges against any of those in control of the affairs of. the company prior to its collapse, divides the. business of the company into eight }periodgas follows: In the first period, Dec. 3, 1906, to Feb. 2, 1907, the net earnings amounted to only $36,723.90, but $74,925 was paid in divi- dends, $38,201.10 more than was earned. The bills payable amounted to $550,000, and the stock was quoted at $160 a share. Between Feb. 12, 1907, and Feb. 6, 1908, the net earnings were $83,712.20, and of this $80,000 was paid out in dividends, this being the only period in which the earnings were as great as the dividends paid. The bills payable, however, were increased by $130,000, reaching $680,000. The stock went up to $162.50. From Feb. 7, 1908, to Jan. 30, 1909, the earnings were only $40,333.29, but divi- dends amounting to $180,000 were paid, $139,666.71 more than was earned. The bills payable increased nearly $50,000, reaching $729,748.29. The big dividends paid sent the stock up to $175. From Jan. 31, 1909, tc Feb. 5, 1910, the earnings were $139,952.07, and dividends paid amounted to $180,000, or $40,047.93 more than was earned. In this period the bills payable were reduced to $647,- 500. The seeming prosperity of the com- pany, as evidenced by the huge dividends pald, sent the stock to $212 a share. From Feb. 6, 1910 to Jan. 17, 1911, the earnings dropped to $68,910.97, but the di- vidends remained at a high figure, $160,- 000 being paid out to shareholders, $91,- 089.08 more than was earned. Again the stock climbed, reaching $225. Also the bills payable increased, this time nearly $400,000, reaching a total of $1,022,147.86. From Jan. 18, 1911, to Feb. 20, 1912, the earnings were $130,332.30 and $240,000 was paid in dividends, $109,677.70 more than was earned. The stock went to $270 The bills payable were decreased to $972,000. Stock Goes to $295. From Feb. 21, 1912, to Feb, 4, 1913, the earnings were $114,057.64, and the divi- dends paid were $240,000, or $125,942.36 more than was earned. The stock re- mained at 3270. The bills payable in- creased to $1,259,000. From Feb. 6, 1913, to Feb. 16, 1914, the earnings were only $36,634.78, but the enormous dividend of $350,000 was paid, sending the stock up to $295 on the mar- ket. In paying this dividend the com- pany increased its bills payable more than $260,000, the total reaching $1,513,- 397.85, These figures from Ambrose’s audit show that in the eight years the total net earnings of the company were only $678,383.89, and that $1,404,925 was paid in dividends, or more than twice as much as actually was earned. BANKERS’ ASSOCIATION BEGINS ACTIVE BUSINESS MEETINGS Fight Exhausted to Develop Oven Standardizing Check Clear- ing Distance. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 26.—The an- nual convention of the American Bank- ers’ Association here began its active business meetings today and indica- tions were that one session, at least, would develop a bitter contest. It was over the question of standardizing the nation-wide check clearing system of the Federal Reserve Banks. The meeting was called by T. H. Dick- son, secretary of the Mississippi Bank- ers’ Association, and all delegates . to the convention have been asked to at- tend. Those who oppose the plan declare it is not fair and equitable to either the bankers or the public and it is angele Continued om Page 2, Column 4. 2 5 ACCOUNTANT TO TESTIFY | OOOO = P 8 W —E————— 101 — m ———— OO W — 1 „% ³äAw ˙ ⁰˙ VU A ²˙ ee nn *... 3 tlt te — Ne ear eae Map of the Combles Region Showing Where Allies Are Pushing Back German Lines beh 0 ————————— — OO eee ee oo - = = = nnn PPP — W tay N 1 Herbe 2 * 0 “A 1 — - Jom ee GREECE OFFERS 10 8 JOIN ALLIES ASKS UNLY FUR A LOAN Only Conditfon Is That Money Be Advanced for Mobilizing the Army.

LONDON, Sept. 26.—According to a Reuter’s dispatch from Athens M. Venizelos, the former Premier, left Athens at 5 o’clock yesterday morn- ing. The merchant ship Hesperia picked him up from a boat in the open sea. It is said that M. Venizelos wil! first visit Crete and then proceed lL» Saloniki, where the revolutionary movoe- ment started. According to Athens dispatches re- ceived here, M. Venizelos will issue a manifesto to the Greek people from Canea, Crete, where he probably will direct the formation of a separatist government. Besides Admiral Condcu- riotis, those accompanying M. Venizelos include all the members of his former Cabinet, with the exception of M. Rak- tavin, Minister of Justice. The procla- mation of M. Venizelos, it is said, will, invite King Constantine to put himself! at the head of a national defense move- ment. An Athens dispatch to the Daily Chronicle says the Venizelos proclama- tion will provide the last opportunity for King Constantwe to place himself and his Government in Jine with peg wishes of the majority of the Greek peo- ple, who do not want any declaration of the dethronement of the monarch. The dispatch says Venizelos will call for a general mobilization throughout the Island of Crete for: the purpose of national defense. He will then visit Mytilene, Chaos and Samos before proceeding to — | Leonidas Embericos, owner of the National Steam Navigation Co., and reputed to be the richest man in Greece, is reported to have informed Admiral Condouriotis of his inten- tion to place his whole fortune at the disposal of the national defense movement.

PRESIDENT CASTS VOTE IN NEW JERSEY PRIMARIES Motors to Princeton From Shadow Lawn— Mrs. Wilson Accompa- nies Him, PRINCETON, N. J., Sept. 2%.—Presi- dent Wilson came to his old home here today to vote in the New Jersey Demo- cratic primaries. He motored over from Shadow Lawn, arriving here at 11:30 o'clock, and remained only long enough to cast his ballot. Woodrow Wilson, No. 14,” said the election olerk as the President dropped his ballot in the box. Wilson voted for Democratic candidates for Governor, United States Senator, Congress and lo- cal offices. H. Otto Wittpen was the only candi- date for Governor. The President is ur- derstood to have favored Attorney-Gen- eral Westcott:.for Senator over Senator Martine, but he did not make public the way he voted today. Leaving Mrs. Wilson in his automo- bile on a street corner, the President walked a block to the old fire engines house where he has voted for several years. He shook hands warmly with the officials and with several old friends he met outside.

Combles, & town of 2000 population be- fore the war, has been rendered of small strategic importance to the allies ty their long continued encircling movement. It has been of notable value to thé Germans, however, because as long as they clung to ft, the Franco- their offensive movements toward Ba- paume and Peronne on either side of it was hampered. Turned into a strongly fortified position by German defensive ingenuity, it has persistently held fast like a rock in the course of a turbulent stream that has had to be blasted loose before the channel was fully opened up. This process has only been accom- plished by long continued, severe and costly effort on the part of the allies. Driving in from the south the French puccessively swept by Hardecourt, Mau- repas, Le ‘Forest and finally reached Fregicourt, a mile east of Combles. More slowiy but none the less surely the British have pushed their advance on the north of the German salient. Their struggles to reach and hold Ginchy and Guillemont were expensive in time and men, but finally the ground north of Combles and some distance to the east was.occupied, putting the town in a pocket of which the opening was constantly being narrowed by the drives of the entente armies. “Yesterday came the combined effort of the French and British to close the opening or at least render it so narrow that what could be extracted through it by the Germans would not be worth while. Only two roads remained over which the Germans could withdraw their men and guns. The single track rail- road running through the place had long since been made useless. Attacking from the north, Gen. Haig’s forces pushed to and occupied Morval, cutting the northerly road running to Le Transloy. Striking from the south, the French pushed their line to Fregicourt, sever- ing communication with Combles over the southerly road—that stretching to- ward Sailly.

These could be hired by the different city de- partments as they were needed, Com- missioner Cunliff said, and tested after- ward. The present system of waiting for men sent by the Efficiency Board is wasteful of time, he contended. Practically all the department heads at the conference advocated the right t» make promotions without first hav- ing the candidates examined. The fit- ness of these employes could be deter- mined by the appointing officer, they held. Under the present rules promo- tions can be made only after examina- tion of the candidates by the Efficiency Board. Chairman Hertenstein of the Effi- ciency Board said that the present lists of eligibles for all positions are so nu- merous that no examinations need be held for some time. He favored the Classification and standardization of the city service before any additional ex- aminations are conducted. Mayor Kiel addressed the conference and urged that “real efficiency” be in- troduced. “If there are any persons on the payroll who have no right to draw the city’s money, they should be dis- misser,“ the Mayor said.

TOLEDO LABOR AUDIENCE What About Danbury Hatters? ”’ Ask Many Auto Workers, Who Cheer for Wilson. By Associated Press. TOLEDO, O., Sept. 28.— Charles E. Hughes faced two audiences here toda. one at a theater, at which he was cheered repeatedly, another in the open air at a large automobile plant com- prised of workmen off for the noon hour. A number. of the latter sought to heckle the nominee and cheered for Wilson. There were also many cheers for Hughes. Hughes spoke on the Adamson law in his open air speech. He reiterated his declaration that he would never sur- render to force“ and repeated his as- sertion that the measure was not an eight-hour law but a wage law. The audience listened quietly at first and cheered points made by the nom- inee. ‘ ‘ “What about the Danbury hatters?“ shouted a man on the edge of the crowd. There were many street noises from passing traffic and apparently tho nominee did not hear. Toward the end of his speech other workmen took up the question. “What about the Danbury hatters?” There was much other noise and voices. Hughes did not answer. After the meeting he gaid he had not heard the question. ‘ How about the union in the factory here?“ shouted another man. Hughes replied that he favored unions and was cheered. As the nominee neared the end of his addresss ther was a growing volume of Wilson cheers sprinkled here and there with uncomplimentary refernces to the Republican nominee. He continued, however, with a smile on his face, and, amid frequent ap- plause, to discuss the Adamson law, declaring that labor, least of all, could afford to surrender the principle of leg- islation only after investigation. The nominee repeated his attack on the administration for the Adamson bill in his address at the theater. He was vigorously applauded. He also declared for the protection of American rights. “The path of proper preparedness, the path of maintenance, justly and firmly, of American rights is not the path that leads to war,“ he said. It is the path of security. The pathway of peace is to announce American rights in ad- vance and have the world understand exactly what we think and what we are repared to do,” First Regiment Welcomed Home From the Border Continued From Page One. leading from Grand avenue to the main entrance of the Armory gave way at 11 o’clock, under the weight of the crowd that was trying to get into the build- ing. About 2 persons, including some women carrying babies in their arms, fell about five feet, but none was se- riously Injured. Before the crowd was admitted to the armory, Col. Donnelly made a speech to the men, telling them that ev- ery citizen of St. Louis was proud of them, and that he was proud of the fa- vorable mention which the regiment had received wherever it had gone. He urged the men not to be dissatisfied that they had not seen actual war, and assured them that he had full confidence that every man of them would have stood such a test. The men were then marched to their company quarters and dismissed, and by 1 o’clock most of them had left the armory. Announcement will be made, within a few days, of the date for the public presentation of bronze medals, which a citizens’ committee, headed by the Mayor, is to provide for all the mem- bers of the regiment. The commissioned officers will hence- forth draw pay ranging from $200 to $500 a year, while the men will be paid for attending drills, on a sliding scale, which is from $1 for Second-class pri- vates to $2.75 for First Sergeants. The regiment reached St. Louis at 9 o’clock, in three special trains from the State encampment grounds at Nevada. The trains were unloaded at Fifteenth street, south of the tracks, and marched to and across the Twelfth street via- duct. The First Regiment left St. Louis June 20 tor Nevada, and left Nevada July 1 — nos ty Tex., where it remained un- pt. 2. It has since been at Ne- Onl n The regiment eft St. Louie with 1067 men. It returned with 1038. in only one instance does death help to account for the difference. Sergt. Thomas of the machine gun company was killed by lightning shortly after the return from the border to Nevada. This was the only death which occurred in the regi- ment during its absence. The other changes ate accounted for by discharges, chiefly of men with de- pendent families, and the return of men who did not pass the United States Gov- ernment military tests, and who were sent home from Nevada soon after the departure. The depletions were partly balanced by the number of men recruit- ed in St. Louis after the regiment. went ENGLAND: 29 KILLED Seven German Airships Drop Bombs on Coast and in In- dustrial Centers. LS LONDON, Sept. 26.—Twenty-nine persons were killed in last night's Zeppelin raid, it was announced of- ficilally today. The announcement follows: “Seven airships raided England last night and in the early hours of this morning. The districts attacked were the south coast, the east coast, the northeast coast and the north midlands. The principal attack was aimed against the industrial centers in the last men- tioned area. “Up to the present time no damage to factories or works of military impor- tance has been reported. It is regretted, however, that a number of small houses and cottages were wrecked or damaged at some places and 2 deaths have been reported. “No attempt was made to approach London. The raiders were engaged by our anti-aircraft defenses and were driven off from several large industrial centers.“ One of the airships took a new course and visited the south coast. No dam- age resulting from its visit so far has been reported. As the airship crossed the southern district it was soon picked up and heavily fired at, whereupon it quickly ascended. — — Zeppelin Commander Tells of Hard- ships on Night Raids. BUDAPEST, Sept. 18, via London, Sept. 26.—A Hungarian correspondent of the London Morning Post relates an interview he had with a Zeppelin commander who attempted to raid London, on Sept. 2. The commander complained of the immense difficul- ties the crew has to encounter in night flights at great height and of the exhausted condition they are in when they reach their base. “At the great altitude,” he said, ‘the cold is so severe our men are covered with icicles by the time they reach home and their clothes have to be cleared of ice before they can take them off. Besides cold, the dan- ger also is very great, for apart from the shells of anti-Zeppelins the rare- ness of the air causes it to penetrate into the gas holders. From this mix- ture of hydrogen and oxygen certain combustible gases are developed which catch fire at the least spark that might reach it. For this reason our men have to wear felt foots as nailed boots might draw a spark by touching some metal object in the gondola. It is almost impossible to send the same crew two successive days on an expedition of several hun- dred miles for their nerves will not stand it.“ BABBITT IS GIVEN - DIVORCE Lawyer Testifies Wife Insisted on Doing as She Pleased. Byron F. Babbitt, lawyer and United States Commissioner, obtained a divorce in Judge Jones’ court today from Helen Bagnell Babbitt, a niece of William Bag- nell of 12 Westmoreland place. The Babbitts formerly lived at 4477 Berlin avenue. More recently they lived at 9500 North Broadway, in a large house which Mrs. Babbitt inherited from an aunt, the late Miss Jane Bagnell. Babbitt testified that his wife was not affectionate, that she treated him with indifference and insisted on doing as she pleased. It was because of her insist- ence, he said, that they went to the country home, north of the city limits, to live. He has returned to the city. The Babbitts were married Nov. 24, 1901. The wife did not resist the suit, which was filed Sept. 15. f smooth-faced at the time of the de- parture, surprised some of the regiment’s admirers. Adjutant Nulsen appeared with a full beard, and Maj. Lowe and Maj. Burgher, chief of the medical staff, had mustaches. Most of the pri- vates and noncommissioned officers had continued the use of the razor. All the officers and men seemed healthy and vigorous, and Col.

' British Headquarters. ) BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE, Sept. 25.—This has been another great day for the Anglo-French forces on the Somme. As a spectacle for the observ- er, it was the most splendid of all the attacks made by the allied forces since the commencement of the great: offen- sive. What either army was trying to do and how they were doing it, the po- sitions they held and sought to conquer in the team play of the blue French legions and the Khaki-clad brigades of Britain were comprehensible. to the ee in the glorious autumn sunlight for a sweep of 10 miles. The scene had the intoxication. of war's grandeur—if war can be said to have any grandeur. Tonight the British have taken half of Morval, all of Les Boef and have advanced their line on a front of 8000 yards for an average depth of 100 yards; the French have stormed Ran- court and have pushed their line to the outskirts of the little village of Fregi- cou@t, a mile east and a little north of Combles. The German stronghold of Combles is virtually isolated. Gung Close to Infantry. The correspondent of the Associated Press went forward yesterday over the ridge in the Devil’s Wood and Ginchy region which the British had fought for over two months to gain. He walked for two miles through an area which reverberated to the blasts of the great guns, picking his way between the bursts of flame from the crashing bat- teries and moving around the rows of cannon as one who seeks a ford in a stream. On the other side of the ridge he saw guns where he had never seen them before—on the promised land of the lower levels, which the British had won by persistent siege work. The guns were close up to the British in- fantry who listened to their thunderous chorus as they prepared for the charge in today’s attack. ‘The usual artillery preparation,“ said an artillery officer. On his return the correspondent decided he would not pass through that wilderness of British guns of all sizes and caliber while he had any hearing left. Every one of them was firing at top speed. He chose a gallery which took him past many bat- teries which for two miles were pouring out their share of the raging tempest of gunfire. From the ruins of some old German trenches whence the battle panorama stretched before him, the correspondent had a near view of the French gun- ners who were feeding shells into the gun breeches as grain 16 fed into a threshing machine and with the me- chanical precision of automatons. Shortly after noon was the time chos- en for the infantry rush forward under the cover of a final intensive chorus of hell from the artillery. The ridges in front and on either hand were frecked with racing sparks of flame. Within an hour at least 50,000 shells must have been fired within sight of the corre- spondent. Far to the south was Mont St. Quentin, two miles from Peronne and commanding that town which the allied The Only American Correspondent at plum when the time comes. *“yveeee commanders say will fall like a ripe Combles Forms an Oasis. The hill lay hazy above the green foliage of the river valley, in the midst of vast bursts of black smoke from shells of enormous caliber. Directly in front was Combles, another town which has come to mean much to the imag- ination of the public in England and France, who seem to regard its capture as of vital significance. : Combles differed from all the villages in sight in that the walls of many of its buildings were still standing. It was different, too, in the fact that it formed an oasis in the midst of the storm of battle. Neither artillery nor infantry paid any attention to it. The gauge of battle was the high ground around it, the possession of which means the com- mand of the town, Further north lay the ruins of Ginchy and Guillemont. At the appointed time the waves of infantry surged forward to the attack. Then the tremendous fire of the German guns swelled to its utmost volume until the whole field was lost in vast clouds of smoke. The attacking infantry van- ished in that grim pall, while high over- head scores of sausage balloons and hundreds of aeroplanes, their wings gleaming like silver in the brilliant sun- light, strove vainly to see what was passing beneath them. Then across the dead fields arose a signal from Morval, which told that the British infantry had reached another goal and that another village was tak- en. A man at a telephone in a nearby signal station called out the capture of different strong points with the enthusi- asm of one who scores a hotly contested game. i Armies Fighting in Open. Presently the British wounded began to straggle back and their bearing, as they moved along beside their prisoners was another criterion by which the cor- respondent knew how the day had gone with them. Generally reports told of every position being taken on the min- ute set in the program. The British wounded said that, of course, they got there as they were used to getting there, Their great grati- fication was that it was becoming an even fight since the Germans had no more prepared lines, but both armies were fighting in the open. According to the British officers, the Germans on the fighting front have no longer any trenches except those which are dug under fire. Busy Bee Bakery Special This Week.

To Act Upon Facts. „ have never found a really coura- geous man who was afraid to put his opinion to the test of facts or a moral- I sincere man who was not ready to surrender to the facts when they were contrary to his opinion. And the Tariff Commission is going to look for the facts, no matter who is hurt. So that we are creating one after another the instrumentalities of knowledge, so that | the business men of this country shall know what the field of the world’s business is and deal with that field upon that knowledge. “Then, when the knowledge is ob- tained, what are we going to do? One of the things that interests me most about an association of this sort is that the intention of it is that the members should share a common body of informa- ion and that they should concert among themselves those operations of businest which are ben¢ficial to all of them; that, instead of a great body, instead of a large number of dealers in grain, acting separately and each fighting for his own hand, you are willing to come together and study the problem as if you were partners and brothers and co-operator: in this field of business. That has been going on in every occupation in the United States of any consequence. Even the men that do the advertising have been getting together and they have made this startling and fundamental dis- covery, that the only way to advertise successfully is to tell the truth. ‘There are many reasons for that. One of the chief reasons is that when you get found out it is worse for you than it was be- fore. But the great reason, the sobei reason, is that business must be ground- ed on the truth and you men get to- gether in order to create a clearing house for the truth about your business. Very well; that is a picture in smail of what we must do in the large. We must co-operate in the whole field of business, the Government with the mer- chant, the merchant with his employe,. the whole body of producers with the] whole body of consumers, to see that the right things are produced in the right volume, and find the right kind of purchasers at the right place, and that, all working together, we realize that nothing can be for the common benefit which is not for the individual benefit. Explains Webb Bill. “You know that there was introduced in the House of Representatives recent- ly a bill commonly called the Webb bill, for the purpose of stating it 1s the policy of the law of the United States that nothing in the anti-trust laws now existing should be interpretri to interfere with the proper sort of co- operation among exporters. The foreign field is not like the domestic field. The foreign field is full of combinations meant to be exclusive. The anti-trust laws of the United States are intended to prevent any kind of combination in the United States which shall be exclu. sive of new enterprises within the United States, any combination which shall set up monopoly in America; but the export business is a very big busi- ness, a very complicated business, *a very expensive business, and it ought to be possible, and it will be possible and legal for men engaged in export- ing to get together and manage it in groups, so that they can manage it at an advantage instead of at a disadvan- tage as compared with foreign rivals. Not for the purpose of exclusive and monopolistic combination, but for the purpose of co-operation; and there is a very wide difference there. “T for myself despise monopoly: and I have an enthusiasm for co-operation. By co-operation I mean working along with anybody who is willing to work along with you under definite under- standings and arrangements which wil) constitute a sound business program. There can be no jealousy of that, and if there had been time I can say with confidence that this bill which passed the House of Representatives would have passed the Senate of the United States also. So that any obstacle that inge- nious lawyers may find in the anti- trust laws will be removed. I was a lawyer once myself before I reformed, and I can divide a hair 'twixt north and northeast side, but I do not think it is worth while, and I do not think that statutes are the places for in- genuity. A statute is intended to lay down a broad and comprehensive and national policy, and it ought to be read in that light. But there would be no fun in punctuation if you had to read it that way. The purpose of legislation in the immediate future in this country is going to be to remove all -ingenious constructions and make it perfectly clear what the liberties as well as the re- straints of trade are in this country. Must Be Co-Operation. “And then there must be co-opera- tion, not only between the Government and the business men, but between the business men. Shippers must co-oper- ate, and they ought to be studying right now how to co-operate. There ore a great many gentlemen in other countries who can show them how: and they ought to look forward, par- ticularly to caring for this matter that they have vehicles in which to carry their goods. We must address ourselves immediately and as rapidly as possible to the re-creation of a great American merchant marine. Our pres- ent situation is very like this: Suppose that a man who had a great depart- ment store did not have any delivery Wagons, and depended upon his com- petitors in the same market to deliver his goods to his customers, You know what would happen. They would de- liver their own goods first, and they would deliver yours only if yours were to be delivered upon the routes followed by their wagons. That is an exact picture of what is taking place in our ‘ereign trade at this minute. Foreign vessels carry our goods where, they, the foreign vessels, happen to be go- ing, and they carry them only if they have room in addition to what they “re carrying for other people. You Cannot conduct trade that way. That is conducting trade on sufferance. That is conducting trade on an ‘If you please.“ That is conducting trade on the basis of service, the point af View of which is not your advantage. Therefore, we cannot lose any time in getting Celivery wagons. “There has been a good deal of dis- cussion about this recently, and it has been said “The Government must not take any direct part in this. You must let private capital do it,’ and the reply was, ‘All right, go ahead.’ “Oh, but we Win not go ahead unless you help us.’ We said, ‘Very well then, we wil! go ahead, but we will not need your help, because we do not want to compete where you are already doing the carrv. ing business, but where you are not o- ing the carrying business and it has ‘to be done for some time at a cost, w | Continaed on Next Pace. -* — 2. — _ — —— yp— — 2 ae SD You Should Use 7 yd — — — — m w — — St. Louis Kansas City * ‘.

Here is the loom all ready upon which to spread the threads which can be worked into a fabric of friendship and wealth such as we have never known before. The real wealth of for- eign relationships, my fellow-citizens, whether they be the relationships of trade or any other kind of intercourse, the real wealth of those relationships is the wealth of mutual confidence and un- derstanding. If we do not understand them and they do not understand us, we cannot trade with them, much lese be their friends, and it is only by weav- ing these intimate threads of connec- tion that we shall be able to establish that fundamental thing, that psycho- logical, spiritual Nexus which is, after all, the real warp and woof of trade it- self. We have got to have the know!l- edge, we have got to have the co-op- eration, and then back of all that has got to lie what America has in abun- dance and only has to release, that is to say, the self-reliant enterprise. „There is only one thing I have ever been ashamed about in America, and that was the timidity and fearfulness of Americans in the presence of foreign competitors. I have dwelt among Amer- icans all my life and am an intense absorbent of the atmosphere of America, and I know by personal experience that there are as effective brains in Amer- ica as anywhere in the world. An Amer- ican afraid to pit American business men against any competitors anywhere! Enterprise, the shrewdness which Amer- cans have shown, the knowledge of busi- ness which they have shown, all these things are going to make for that peace- ful and honorable conquest of foreign markets which is our reasonable ambi- tion. Criticises Business Methods. “T spoke a moment ago of the Federal Trade Commission. In conference with various associations, members of that commission have made this astonishing discovery, that in some fields of manu- facture, at any rate, not 10 per cent of the producers of America keep accurate accounts. They do not know how much each part of their operation costs them. They have not analyzed their business in such a way as to know where econ- omy can be substituted for waste, or where efficiency can take the place of inefficiency, and one of the things that is going to happen, now that we are going to be up against the expert cost accountants of the world, is that we are going to become first-class economists, and that American labor, already dis- tinguished for its efficiency, is going to double and treble that efficiency. And when that takes place and this great stimulating air of the world's competitive brains has wrought its effects upon ua, we are going to be, I hope, what the world has never seen yet, a body of men who do not want to prevail by the backing of their Government, but by the backing of their skill and knowledge. “A friend of mine was once invited to attend a peace meeting. He said he would come with pleasure if he might be permitted to explain that most of the men sitting on the platform were engaged in fomenting war, and when he was asked to explain this puzzling meaning, he said: ‘I have looked over the list of the men who constitute your Executive Committee, and almost every one of them is engaged in doing things to excite the hostility and disturb the national feeling of men in foreign coun- tries, particularly in the Orient, which will inevitably lead to war sooner or later.’ The combinations of the modern world that are lasting are not the com- petitions of physical force. They are the competitions of intellectual force. The competitions of business either lay the foundations of respect and mutual confidence or the foundations of suspi- cion and mutual hostility. „America has stood in the years past for that sort of political understanding among men which would let every man feel that his rights were the same as those of another and good as those of another, and the mission of America in the field of the world’s commerce 18 to be the same, that when an American comes into that competition he comes without any arms that would enable him to conquer by force, but only with thode peaceful influences of intelligence. a desire to serve, a knowledge of what he is about before which everything softens and ylelds and renders itself subject. That is the mission of Amer- ica and my interest, so far as my smal! part in American affairs is concerned, is. to lend every bit of intelligence 1 have to this interesting, this vital, all- important matter of releasing the in- telligence of America for the service of mankind.” START pedit.

The men who were re- jectod enlisted into the volunteer ranks with the same spirit as those who passed the examination and were admitted to the regular army. Then 50 the volunteers were forced to make the trips to : Nevada, where they suffered temporary hardships, 4 were engaged in the same drill tactics and under ; ‘the same discipline as any man who was accepted, . up to the time of the arrival of the Government = examiners, At this time they were rejected, many 5 who enlisted with the spirit of “America First,” men who were willing to sacrifice life and all, for the call of the cause, and men who after their q discharge, for reasons other than dishonorable | ones came home a disappointed lot. g i 4 5 i i ; 8 * 5 e 4 4 2 : 2 18 N 1 8 5 1 Ay i ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH | settled the strike could not supply certified milk truck, late in the day. When it arrived, the milk was old. The company explained that it had been became seriously ill, As a last resort, the fam- ily is obtaining: milk from the St. Louis Pure Milk Commitsston. CONSTRUCTIVE STATESMANSHIP. | President Wilson at Baltimore touched upon five points of his constructive work which are vitally important to business. The first was the Federal reserve act. He pointed out that previous to the adoption of this act American business men had no American banking facilities outside of the United States. They had to depend upon British and German banks which were established to serve British and German merchants. Now American national banks through foreign branches can take care of American merchants in foreign trade; they can assist American commerce abroad. The second was the Federal Trade Commission which has aided American trade and has re moved the hostility and friction between the Government and business. which harassed and confused business men. The commission’s func- tion, he said to the business men, “is to show you the way in which the Government can help you and not the way in which the Government can hinder you.” The third was the Tariff Commission charged with the ascertainment of facts in connection with tariff and business for the information of the President and Congress. Instead of framing tariff legislation on theories Congress will be able to frame scfentific tariff laws based upon facts. It will be able to protect American indus- try where protection is needed without unjustly favoring special interests at the expense of the people. The fourth was the combination of American business men for co-operation in foreign com- merce; not monopoly but co-operative combina- tions for effective activities in foreign fields where individual effort is not equal to the task against the Government-aided combinations of other commercial nations. Group instead of in- dividual effort is the idea. The fifth was American shipping. American foreign trade has been mostly dependent on for- eign ships for the transportation of American commodities abroad. It had to take the ship space offered after others were served and go where foreign shipping went. Trade by suf- ferance,” “on an if you please” the President calls it. Now he says we are going to get our own “delivery wagons.” To use his words as to the making of the new shipping law: We will undertake to do it at a cost until trade routes are established, and we will give place to private capital whenever private capital is ready to take the place. That sounds like a very reasonable proposition. We will carry your goods one way when we have to come back empty the other way and lose money on the voyage, and when there are car- goes both ways and it is profitable to carry them, we shall not insist upon carrying them any longer. This ig constructive statesmanship. It is a wise and practical use of governmental power and resources to aid in the development of in- dustry and commerce for the general welfare. It places the common instrumentalities of Gov- ernment in the service of the people. A fruitful program of this kind is in sharp contrast with criticism and indefinite promise; it is diametrically opposed to destructive, hamper- ing legislation and special privilege. i i i i In Wall Street vs. Wilson the people will be the jury. The case will come up Nov. 7. ENEMIES OF LABOR. Mr. Hughes protested at Dayton “against any endeavor to confuse the thought of America by talking about an eight-hour day, when nothing of the sort has been enacted,” but it will be diffi- cult for him to find anybody who will believe his statement. Congress has passed an eight-hour- day law and the country finds ample evidence that it provides only too well for better employ- ment conditions. If it did not provide for eight hours Mr. Hughes and the men for whom he speaks would not be attacking it so viciously as already to earn recog- nition as enemies of labor. = = „ CAPTURE OF ORA LEWIS. Ora Lewis, second of the Lewis murderers to be caught, is like his brother already in custody, a-type of the almost boyishly vain, self-glorifying, publicity-loving criminal. When caught, this type promply confesses or makes boasts that are the equivalent of confessions. With considerable manual dexterity and a mental cunning of a cer- tain sort, the type still has a certain imbecile sim- plicity classing it with the higher grades of the feeble-minded. From the activities of the brothers we can judge exactly what Roy, who was first caught, would do if now released from his fearful predicament. Knowing that Roy was facing death, they con- tinued the very life that had brought disaster. Instead of seeking concealment by merging them- selves with the great army of honest but obscure workers, they went on as before, stealing motor cars, copper wire, merchandise of all kinds—the very sort of thing most likely to attract attention. It is a type from which it is especially tmpor- tant to protect the public. The capture of two of — boys marks gratifying progress in this direo- on. “The largest fall ante a skins ever held any- where” is an important addition to the St. Louis “largest” list. MILK STRIKE NOT ENDED. As long as it is impossible for large numbers of families with babies to obtain certified milk and have it delivered early in the morning, as before the strike started, the milk drivers’ strike and lockout is not only not settled, but it is a menace to the health and life of a great many infants, The experience of a single family, brought to the attention of the Post-Dispatch, is evidence of how the strike endangers babies’ lives. This fam- Ur found that the only big company which has except for its own customers. A company whose men are still out agreed to supply the necessary certified milk, but could only deliver ſt by anto kept on ice. But it disagreed with the baby, who the employing concern would have to keep the entire product within the walls of the factory for the entire 12 months. How many factories ere FW Ww | will sour if kept too long. This is why early morning deliveries are essential to the health of babies who depend on cow’s milk. Every day the strike continues endangers the health and lives of babies. When the strike start- ed, the milk companies promised that no babies should suffer. But they are suffering. Settle the strike. That is the only way to prevent suffering. = = i i WELCOME, FIEST REGIMENT. St. Loulsans who were fortunate enough to see the parade, this morning, of the returning First Regiment, and especially those who knew the regiment before it was sent to the border, were highly gratified at the striking {mprove- ment manifested. The parade showed a body of men of whom the city and State may be proud. It went by with a soldier-like swing, every man erect, easy, mus- cular, efficient. The result of the months of thorough training, in the open, by officers who knew their business was evident. Thanks to this mobilization, we now have a regiment that is ready, a nucleus in the scheme of prepared- ness, as far as Missouri is concerned, which is worth all it has cost. In order that as many St. Louisans as possible may have the pleasure of seeing what the regi- ment now is and judge of its efficiency, it would „be well to have a regimental parade drill, in Forest Park, at an early date, while the weather ig fine. It should be held on a Sunday in the next two weeks. It would be an event worth witnessing. 412 4 „ — The True American always votes.

PROSPERITY YBAR, The report of our foreign trade for August and the preceding 12 months is a story of unparalleled prosperity. August exports broke all records. They reached $510,000,000. The imports, which were below the preceding month, exceeded those of any previous August. They were $199,247,391, making a bal- ance of trade in our favor of $311,000,000. The year’s exports were $4,750,000,000 and the imports $2,300,000,000. gold is breaking all records. The figures are interesting, not only as empha- sizing our high tide of prosperity, but as proving that high prosperity is possible under a good Democratic administration and is not the exclusive asset of the Republican party. The best feature of the tide of prosperity is that conditions due to wise legislation by the Wilson administration greatly reduce the prospect of menacing re action. Business is more stable than it ever has been. = =] * i ie The facts in regard to hides fairly skin Sen- ator Gallinger.

In Sunday’s Zeppelin raid on England 30 non- combatants were killed, but one Zeppelin crew of 22 men was captured and another crew of 22 men destroyed. In addition a number of persons were injured and two Zeppelins costing several hun- dred thousand dollars apiece and English build- ings perhaps of equal value were wiped out. Where does this leave the military equation? Ignoring the wounded and assuming that the property damage on one side was neutralized by that on the other, it seems that the 44 military units canceled more than offset the cancellation of 30 noncombatant units of negligible military value. An attack that shocks humanity has as its sin- gle result greater damage to the attackers than to the attacked. Germany would be better off in a practical sense, to say nothing of a moral sense, if this raid had never been attempted. = = * — aS Municipal expenses might be reduced to $1000 an hour. Isn’t it possible to save that $761.50 men- tioned by Mr. Player? — —.—kũ¶ — ATTACKING THE CHILD LABOR LAW. Circulars sent out by the Republican National Committee assert that the Child Labor Law passed by Congress under the Wilson administra- tion, is “another Democratic gold brick.” It can be evaded, says the circular, because of the 80- day clause. This reads: No producer, manufacturer or dealer shall ship or deliver for shipment in interstate or foreign commerce any article or commodity, the product of any mill, cannery, workshop, factory or manufacturing establish- ment situated in the United States, in which within thirty days prior to the removal of such product therefrom children under the age of fourteen have been employed, or permitted to work. . The Republican circular applies this to the can- ning industry, and says: “By virtue of this gold brick law, children ander 14 may work in factories for 11 months and the goods they have made be sold all over the United States at any time after 30 days.” This is a willful misinterpretation of the plain words of the act. The 80 days allowed for the, removal of the goods is not 80 days from the re- moval of such goods from a warehouse, but from “any mill, cannery, workshop, factory or manu- facturing establishment.” Those who drew up the act evidently contemplated that, in most Cases, goods on which child labor er any other labor had been employed would necessarfly be removed from the mill, workshop or factory in- side of 380 days from their production. In order to make it possible that children under 14 years could be worked in a cannery or other place 11 months and the product sold all over the United States when 80 days had elapsed thereafter, as the Republican Oommittes asserts, _=_— =" " The mad rush of inconsiderate old people into matrimony must be checked.

DN eran enough, we, who are in the heat of action, know nothing of the political situa- tiou in this country. It takes a disinter- ested onlooker to tell us what is going on. The Oriental Trade Journal, published at Osaka, Japan, is such an onlooker. It says: THE ELECTION OF AMERICAN PRESIDENT. A Progressist Rousevelte, who has been wait- ing for the time to take a great leap for a long time as the president of America, has made a long delightful speech in which he attacked the feeble diplomacy of the present Président Wilson, and Americans belonging to the German lineage who always try to threaten the Republicans. The election movement of American president is now at its height. At the last election, president of that time Taft was standing face to face with ex-President Rousevelte; at last the Republicans were split and a part of Rousevelte, has organized the Progressist. As in the fable of Chinese coun- try, the quarrel between the kingfisher and the clam turns to the fisherman’s profit. Wilson ob- tained the fisherman’s profit. . In this time the Progressist Rousevelte and the Republicans Fuse, are fighting each other desperately as in the last election time, but Fuse has so strong potential energy that Rousevelte, a great man, as one might have expected, had aban- doned a desire to be the President, giving the road to Fuse. Seeing the present conditions the Re- publicans have elected Fuse, unanimity to match the Democratic party; the situation is daily grow- ing better. When the candidates from all parties are elected, at that time the publication of their political view and the political war will enter into the formal order; in the eleventh month the first election will be opened to elect the elector. in Washingon, the meeting in which the President will be elected, will be held. By this method of double election the President will be elected as you know. Generally in the first time, which the elector will be elected in this time will be settled. It is the season of baseball which is called one of the national games in erica; at same time in the autumn of this year thé greatest election fight of the President will be fought. From this reason all Americans will boil their blood by these two fights. There we have it. Knowing nothing of the Chinese fable of the kingfisher and the clam, we were unable to profit by that analogy. Mistaking Puse for Hughes, we had no clear idea whom Mr. Wilson is running against. However, we see it pretty clearly now. Thanks, Nippon! When the Germans have an officer retired from his command in the Austrian service they send him, to express a shade of meaning, away back. Thus, Archduke Eugene, recently commander-in-chief on the Italian front, has been retired from the army and made Ourator in the Academy of Sciences at Vienna. Archduke Leopold Salvato, until recently Tuspector-General of Artillery, has been removed from the list of active officers and made protector of the Francis Joseph Academy of Science, Litera- ture and Art at Prague. Admiral Archduke Charles Stephen has been appointed protector of the Acad- emy of Sciences at Cracow.

It took Life to remove Secretary Daniels from the list of Republican campaign assets. In its seal to dg something to help this matter along, Life got out a Daniels number. If there was a laugh in that number, Mr. Daniels had it. When Life got down to hard pan, it had nothing on the Secretary. You can’t invent this sort of thing. The case stands or falls, according to the extent to which the person who is to be the goat has exposed himself to ridicule. Life failed. The Daniels number fell as flat as hail on a rubber roof. One opened it expectantly and closed it for Daniels, He was tried and acquitted in that number. If Life has not congratulated him, it is not a good sportsman. We believe Life is a good sportsman.

For an hour everything was pleasant. Klobuc sang arid whistled like an inno- cent bird. Not a soul met them on the road, which, as a matter of exact fact, was not a road but a ribbon of mud and rocks. Suddenly two extremely unpleasant human objects stepped from under the trees and begged for a ride. Peter thought that they looked like charming companions.

I'd like to see those robbers, just once!” The two individuals nudged each other with their elbows.

The two guests addressed the driver and begged to leave him, with many thanks for the lift. May your honor have a bright and joyful journey,“ they said, bowing politely to Peter before they disappeared in the forest. Half an hour later Peter and Klobuc drove noisily and cheerfully into Mac- Lac. Peter paid Klobuc and added a most gracious tip—which he set down in his mental account book against the Government, for had not the Goy- ernment commanded him to hurry? He tapped Klobuc on the shoulder. “Good horse, Klobuc, good horse that thou hast, a pretty horse, only a little bit bony. A little bony and old, Klobuc. Say, Klobuc! Dost thou know some- thing? I am glad, very glad, that we did not meet those robbers. I have money with me—much money! And the bocket-cannon, Klobuc, from Vienna, and the revolver from Budapest, Klo- buc, thou knowest—well, they were stol- en from me long ago in Krasnoje. So I didn’t have any weapons at all!“ He turned to go, but certain strange and wholly impplsive activity of Dus. chan Klobuc led him to linger for an intergsted moment. Why.

His palace was. of white marble, his halis filled with beautiful statues and pictures and his stables full of fine horses and coaches of glittering metal. But the young King was sad. He wanted to do what was best for his people, yet it seemed that on every side he was beset by courtiers who wished only to use his friendship for their own ends. As he sighed and looked out of his window he noticed a poor man walk- ing down a patch in a distant fleld. „Ah!“ said the King to himself, “here I am, the head of this nation, yet help- less as to those I can trust. I wish above all that I could find an honest man among my courtiers.” „It would be hard to find one among your courtiers,” said a voice at his el- bow, but you can find one among your people, if you try rightly.“ The King turned to find that the Court Fool was speaking. In a few words the Fool told the King of the plan, and they agreed Om upon a time a King sat upon to carry it out. In the center of a loaf of bread were placed 10 golden coins, and this the Fool put in a basket. Dressing himself as a baker’s boy the Wool went toward the home of the poor man the King had seen crossing the fields. Here the Fool opened his basket and displayed the loaf. said, and I will sell cheaply. Three pence will buy this nice fresh bread.” So the poor man bought the loaf and the Fool returned to the castle, having told the man that he lived in one of 1 King's N back of the kitchen. The poor man had a sick wife. There was no fire in the hearth, nor any food in the cupboard, and he broke the loaf eagerly, to give his sick wife some soaked in milk. What was his surprise when out tumbled on the table 10 shining golden coins! The wife sat up in bed in aston- ishment. But the man did not move. “This is not our money,” he said, sad- ly; “it belongs to the baker whose boy sent the bread out for sale. I will go at once and return it.“ So placing the coin in a bag, he sat out toward the castle. The Fool saw him coming and hastened to the King; then, returning, he put on the dress of a baker’s boy again and met the man at the back gate of the castle.

The Fool said nothing, but, beckoning the man to follow, he led him through the marble halls of the castle into the great throne room, where the King sat on his gorgeous throne. All about him were pages and guards and the glitter of jewels, the glow of silks and velvet. é¢ HAT is my master,” said the Fool, as he led the man to the throne. “You must arrange with him about the loaf.” The King stepped down from his throne, the music ceased, the pages bent their knees and the guards presented ‘arms, for the King took the poor man by the hand and led him up the steps till he stood high above all. “There is no mistake. I had the coin put in the loaf: to see if I could find an honest man,“ said the King loudly. “I have found one; it is you. 1 knew how badly you needed the money. and I put you to the test. It is just such a man that I want for my High Minister of State, to deal with the funds of my kingdom. You and your ‘wife must in future make your home here in my castle. You will serve me Im the coming years as my High Min- ister of State.“ So the honest man was brought to the castle, where he and his wife lived in every comfort, while the young King felt happy to Know that such a true heart ministered to his peopl 3 (Copyright by McClure Newspaper Experiments have indicated to Hon- duras that it may become an important cotton raising nation. - — Sor oo 0 0 O raοn⁰ον Y o ora WE GIVE EAGLE STAMPS f 7 4 SIXTH AND ST.

The real trouble, that which causes all the pein and difficulty, is sexcessive acid in the stomach, aggravated by food’ fermentation. Hyperacidity ir- ritates the delicate Mning of the stom- ach abnormally, causing that full bloated feeling. Thus both acid and fermentation interfere with and retard the process of digestion. The stomach is usually healthy and normal, but irritkted almost post endurance by ee foreign ee . — ane wind.

But for an agcident Edmunds would now be officiating at Manhattan, Kan., instead of at Wash- ington University. The accident is of no consequence, but its outcome was the retention at the Pikeway school of the only coach able to get results in the shape of men and money, and the only man who has turned out an eleven abie to heat Missouri since the local school entered the conference. Edmunds has interested the local pre- paratory school talent in St. Louis foot- ball—something that has been done, extensively. ve of the rep“ school stars of other days are 1916 eligibles at W. U., while the pick of St. uls’ 1915 “prep” stars, Jimmy Conzelman, will be in the field next season. Edmunds, in other words, has es- tablished a system) and that spelis improvement, if not success. Not all of the credit for Washington's rise is due to Edmunds, however. Wal- ter Krause, one grand ‘hustler for the school, and hia associates in the Wash- ington Union have done wonders for the team in the matter of raising money | and enthusiasm. 2 « Boston, on Harvard. F the verdict of the Boston press amounts to anything, at this seasun of the year, Harvard is going to have a severe time living u to its winning geo Before Satu y’s game it was us opinion that if Harvard did not score at least % ints mae the weak 155 University eleven [ have to be set aon as a AE ing. Harvard scored just 10 points! However, don’t count the crim- gon out this early in the game.

Among these nothing exceptional has cropped out yet, and it will take some very avle coaching to bring this team up to anywhere near those of the last two seasons. Yale has four men remaining who started the Harvard game—Captain Black at left guard. C. Sheldon at left tackle. Van Nostrand at on erback and Bingham at halfback "She — in addition, a list of men who oan ineligible last year, equal if not superior to the men she has lost. Le Gore out- classes any back she had last year. and such men as Braden from Wasb- ington and Jefferson; Hutchinson, full- back on his freshman team two years ago: Robinson, a quarterback, and Rosener, an end, are rated exception- ally high. Yale also bids fair to have the most powerful team she has had in years, with a line averaging 194 pounds. 85 What Season May Develop. At Princeton only four regulars are missing from the 11 this season, and their places can be easily filled from the freshman and scrub teams: while at Cornell one more first-string man has been lost, namely five, but With Cornell’s big squad of physiques it should be as easy for the Cornell champions to make up vacancies in two teams as the other colleges in one. From this distance it looks ag if Harvard could not beat Cornell with her material. but might with her coaching system. Princeton ought to win from Harvard on the strength of her experienced men, and Yale defeat Harvard through the exceptional in- dividuals she has to mould into a team. Yale may be handicapped a bit. though, through the change in her systems. As the season progresses fhe situation often changes through injuries or for other reasons, and a fortnight hence the Harvard position may or may net improve.

Little is known locally of that son of Mars, Joe-Cassidy, who drifted in from Newark, N. J., to battle Leo Kelly at the Future City A. C. tonight. The guide books are silent as to Cassidy, which is more than can be said for Jack Bul- ger, his representative, who depicts the fighting qualities of his protege 4s somewhere between Stanley Ketchel's and Jess Willard's.
