NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—Estimating that 100,000 Americans are annually rejected out of a total of 1,300,000 examined for life insurance, E. E. Rittenhouse of the Equitable Life Assurance Society urged the need for improving the physical preparedness of the people of the United States before a meeting of life insurance presidents today. “The composite physical American looks smooth, pink and healthy,“ said Mr. Rittenhouse. . He is a good liver (I said is and not has). He hurries. He has no time to waste. The average age at death of the American people is about 40, the medium age 43. He is try- ing, with the aid of new knowledge and inventions, to crowd the experiences of two lifetimes into one. He is having some success, but the strain is telling on him.“ EMPEROR LEFT $15,000,000 FUND FOR WOUNDED SOLDIERS Austrian Paper Gives Invalids and Relatives of Dead Fighters as Other Beneficiaries, MUNICH, Dec. 14.—Phe Neueste Nach- richten says that 60,000,000 crowns (15, private fortune, for a fund for the ben- invalids and Two daughters and one grend-daugh- ter receive 20,000,000 crowns (. 000, 000 each.

HIS COURSE UNDECIDED He May Defer Acting at Least Until Attitude of Allies Toward German Offer Is Clearer. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—Germany’s note conveying the proposal for peace which the United States is to transmit to the entente belligerents arrived dur- ing the night and was prepared for President Wilson early today. The document is said to be substantial- ly the same as was published in the un- official dispatches from Berlin. Accom- panying it was a confidential report from American Charge Grew, understood to be an outline of affairs which led up to the German Chancellor’s speech ip the Reichstag and the sending of peace proposals. As soon as President Wilson shall have seen the note it will be forwarded to American diplomatic representatives in entente countries. The actual transmittal of the peace offer now brings up the question of whether President Wilson will decide to act merely as an intermediary or will accompatiy the transmittal with some expression of hope that the propesals for peace be not rejected without reflection. There is a prevailing opinion here that the President wants to do something of the latter sort and is looking forward to some movement for a league of nations to preserve peace as one of the elements of the settlement of the war. It is possible that some means may be taken to establish more definitely the temper of the entente allies toward peace proposals, before the President acts, but it is understood there will be no delay in forwarding the German notes to the for- eign belligerey- capitals. The embassies of the entente allies here reflected the view today that Germany's peace proposals would not be rejected without examination; but that the allies in reply probably would call for a statement of proposed terms, DRY" AMENDMENT TOBE REPORTED TO HOUSE FAVORABLY} Ordered Before Congress by Judiciary Committee by a Vote of 12 to 7. ACTION ON SUFFRAGE Measure Also Ordered Reported, but Without Recommenda- tion. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—The proposed national prohibition amendment was to- day ordered reported favorably to the House by the Judiciary Committee by a vote of 12 to 7. The proposed universal suffrage amendment was ordered reported with- out recommendation. The vote on the suffrage proposal was 11 to 8. The resolution by Representa- tive Raker would submit the several Susan B. Anthony amendments to the states. Chairman Webb of the committee said he would not ask for a rule on the prohibition resolution until after the Christmas recess. He will not ask for any action on the suffrage proposal. Representative Gard of Ohio, who has been opposed to suffrage, was chosen to report it. Representative Carlin of Virginia will report the prohibition o- posal. Belief It Can Be Beaten. The reporting of the suffrage pro- posal was due to the belief of its oppo- nents that it could be beaten on the floor, and they thought it best to set- tle the issue by bringing it to a direct vote in, the House. An effort was made to couple it in the voting as was done at the last ses- sion of Congress, and Which resulted in both proposals being kept in the com- mittee and consideration of them post- poned indefinitely. The committee by a large majority, however, voted not to do so. The reporting of the suffrage amend- ment Was a surprise to its supporters. The designation of Representative Walsh of Massachusetts, an anti-suffra- gist, to succeed Representative Moss ‘of West. Virginia as a member of the com- so that they would not be placed in p. sition of unqualifiedly rejecting peace. After reading the German note Sec- retary Lansing said that while there were differences in translation, when compared with the unofficial copy, there was no change in meaning. He said the note would go forward pre- sumably today, and that no decision had been reached as to whether the United States would accompany it with any expression. The representative of at least one Dare. pean neutral country already has sent a dispatch to kis home Government asking to ve au.norized to assure President Wilson of the support of his Govern- ment in sending some expression to the entente allies designed to influence them to give consideration to the offer to discuss peace. There are indications that some of the other neutral envoys may follow suit. The Spanish Ambassador, Mr. Riano, was an early caller at the State De- partment and conferred with Secretary Lansing. He said he had advices from Madrid that his Government also had received the German note for transmis. sion to those entente countries where it represents the central Powers diplomat- ically. The Swiss Minister, Dr. Ritter, also called on Secretary Lansing. His visit, coupled with the fact that one other neutral envoy is moving to support the President in any effort to secure a con- sideration of peace, led to the belief that some light on the attitude bf the United States toward such a ‘general movement by neutrals was at least being sounded out.

Propoged Amendments. The proposed prohibition amendment drawn by Chairman Webb fololws: Section 1. That the sale, manufac- ture for sale, transportation for sale and importation for sale of intoxicating liqué®@s for beverage purposes in the United States and all territories sub- ject to the jurisdiction thereof, and ex- portation thereof, are forever prohibited. “Section 2. That the Congress and the States shall have power independ- ently or concurrently to enforce this ar- ticle by all needful legislation.“ The suffrage resolution follows: “Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of sex. “Section 2, Congress shall have pow- er, by aprpopriate legislation, to en- force the provisions of this article.“ SENATE ADOPTS LITERACY TEST BILL, 3 TIMES VETOED Measure, as Amended, Goes to Con- ference—Adopted by House at Last Session. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—The immi- gration bill containing the restrictive literacy test for admission of aliens, which has chiused three Presidents to veto such a measure, was passed by the Senate today, 64 to*7. The bill, as amended in the Senate, goes to conference. It passed the House last session. The Senate reconsidered the clause designed to exclude anarchists who teach destruction of property as a propagan- da. An amendment by Senator Hard- wick, for the committee, permitting en- try of persons who advocate or teach destruction of property “in war, insur- rection or revolution,” but not otherwise, was adopted. . EMPEROR ACCEPTS AUSTRIAN MINISTRY'S RESIGNATION Von Koerber Cabinet Out— Alexander Spitsmueller Summoned to Take Up Government.

Herr Spitzmueller is a former Minis- ter of Commerce and a former director of the Kredit Anstalt. The ministry of Dr. von Koerber, which has resigned, succeeded that ot Count Karl Stuergkh, who was as- sassinated.

FIGHT FOR AN ESTATE Brothers of C. H. R. Slingsby, Supposed. Parent, Contested Claim Made for Lad. LONDON, Dec. 14.—~The House of Lords refused the appeal of the Slingsby legitimacy case today without ealling upon the respondent” In giving judgment the House of Lords held that it had been established that the child in question was the son of Lillian Anderson, a San Francisco schoo] girl, and that it also had been proved that the child was handed over to Mrs. Slingsby. The House of Lords expressei regret at the pain caused by the decision to the gallant officer who is now serv- ing his country—Commander Slingsby.” The case hinged on whether Teddy (Charles Eugene Edward) Slingsby, who was declared to be the lawful son of Charles H. R. Slingsby and his wife, Dorothy, should inherit the extensive Slingshy estate in England. Mr. Slingsby maintained Teddy was entitled to the Yorkshire estate of his alleged grandfather, the late Rev. Charles Slingsby, who willed his estate to “the first male heir’’ born to any of his children. ) Once Decreed True Son. The British Court of Probate and Di- vorce on Feb.. 4, 1915, decreed Teddy the true son and heir of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. R. Slingsby. C. H. R. Slingsby in 1900 married Mrs. Dorothy Morgan Warner, a Kentucky society widow. C. H. R. Slingsby’s two younger brothers, Thomas William and Alan Pe- ter Slingsby, respectively, had contest- ea the claims „f the C. H. R. Slingsby that Teddy was their son. They claimed, and made a long court fight to prove, that Teddy was the son of Lillian Anderson, a school girl, and was taken ever by the C. H. R. SUngsbys as their son so he could ¥ claim the Yorkshire estate. They produced from a San Francisco} — claimed was an newspaper what the therein by Mrs. advertisement plac Slingsby, baby. Decision Was Reversed. When the Probate and Divorce Court decided against the two brothers they took» the case to the Court of Appeals, which, on March 14, 1916, reversed the Probate and Divorce Court and declared Teddy not the son of the C. H. R. Slingsbys and not entitled to the estate. Justice Bargrave Deane of the Pro- bate and Divorce Court had decided in ravor of Teddy, largely because he had 4 peculiar shaped jaw like his father’s, and an oddly formed ear, like his moth- er’s. The Court of Appeals evidently did not think that way. The C. H. R. Slingsbys then appealed to the House of Lords. WOMAN LEAVES $200,000 FOR ‘SPIRITUAL UPLIFT PURPOSES’ Large Part of Canadian Estate to Christian Scierce—dAustrians, Ger- mans, Bulgars and Turks Barred. TORONTO, Ont., Dec. 14.—The will of Miss Mary Helen Orr of Bobcaygeon, Ont., bequeaths her estate of $201,599 to „purposes of spirſt.“ The sum of $10,000 goes to the Mother Christian Sclence Church of Boston to be used in spreading the truth; an- other $10,000 in small amounts to those building Christian Science churches;”’ $10,000 to those who are endeavoring to uplift the needy in Chicago, such as Jane Addams charities, United Chari- ties and whatever may seem to need as- sistance; $10,000 “for any uplifting purpose” among her kin, and 810,000 to the town of Bobcaygeon to be used only for such purposes as will elevate the community spiritually.’’ The condition is made that no Ger- man, Austrian, Bulgar or Turk shall receive ary portion of the estate. BRITAIN’S. DAILY OUTLAY IS $78,550,000, BONAR LAW SAYS Chancellor Says Expenditure Will Not Be Allowed te Check Progress of ar. LONDON, Dee. 14—Andrew Bonar Law, Chancellor of the Exchequer, an- nounced in the House of Commons this afternoon that the daily average ex- penditure of Great Britain in *he war had risen to £5,710,000 ($28,550,000). He said the actual expenditure had exceeded the estimate, owing to the in- crease in munitions and additional loans to Great Britain’s allies and to her dominions. The Chancellor said: “Financially we cannot hope to go on indefinitely on the present scale, but we can go on long enough to make sure that it will not be from financial causes if we fail to se- cure victory ”’ The Chancellor said the total amount of votes of credit since the outbreak of the war was £3,852,000,- 200, including £32,000,000 for extra administration expenses. In moving the, vote ot credit, he said that, assuming the rate of ex- penditure was the same as at present, the vote would carry them until Feb. 24. The total for the financial year would be — ($9, 750,000, 000).

PARIS, Dec. 14.—Total prohibition throughout France of the consumption or such alcoholic beverages as whiskies, brandies and liquers has been de- cided upon by the Government. This fs shown by the text in the Journal Officiel today of Premier Briand's declaration yesterday before the Cham- ber of Deputies on the subject. The Premier said: “The Government will ask you to give it the faculty of solving by decrees all questions of interest in regard to the national defense which tho laws are too slow to regulate. A particularly grave question which can be regulated only in war time, the solutfon of which in- volvea the life of the country and its salvation, is the total suppression. of the consumption of alcohol.” The Premier’s remarks were greeted with loud applause from many of the benches., Deputy Mayeras interjected: “In the army also?’’ Tes, in the entire country,” sald the Premier. The use of the term alcohol in this connection is understood in France to include such beverages as absinthe, which already has been suppressed: whiskies, brandies and liquers, but not wines avd beers. $3350 FOR SON OF MAN KILLED BY MES, J. l. TEASDALE'S AUTO Boy’s Attorney Says Judgment for Lad Was Agreed Upon Out- sid of Court. Judgment for $3350 was entered in Judge Jones’ court this morning in fa- vor of Wilson Wheeler, 99-year-old son of Mrs. Margaret Wheeler of 1114 Etzel terrace, and against Mrs. Thomas B.

D. Laughlin. Henry D. Laughlin, owner of the Great Northern Hotel in Chicago and holder of extensive real estate interests in St. Louis County, arrived in St. Louis this morning from Chicago to appear in the afternoon before the grand jury in an investigation concerning J. Brooks Johnson, wealthy money lender, with whom he formerly was closely indenti- fied in business dealings. The investigation instituted by Laugh- lin is said to concern affidavits in two attachment suits filed in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County nearly a year ago by Johnson against Laughlin. The only other witnesses known to have}. been summoned is A. D. Willicken, Cir- cuit Clerk of St. Louis County, who was ordered to bring the court records of the attachment suits. Neither Circuit Attorney Harvey nor Laughlin would discuss the investiga- tion after they had been in conference more than two hours this morning. Laughlin, asked about it as he was dear ing the Circuit Attorney's office, said: “T can't say anything unkind about my friend Johnson. I'm going to get a drink. Ask Johnson about it.” A reporter asked Johnson about it. He said: “I don’t know anything about it. The suits in St. Louis County speak for themselves. I don’t know why Laugh- lin should be seeing the Circuit Attor- ney. Maybe Randolph Lughlin, his son, could tell something.“ Johnson filed one attachment suit against Laughlin in St. Louis County Feb. 7 on two notes, one for $2500 and the other for $000. Johnson alleged the notes were to have been paid either in cash or in stock of the Great Northern Hotel Co. A judgment for the principal and interest, amounting to $10,464.44, was rendered and the judgment was paid by Laughlin Sept. 9, The other was brought by the Anchor Warehouse Co., which Johnson is said North in 1864 Cited Parallel.

PITTSFIELD, III., Dec. 14.—George Brokaw, self-confessed murderer, this morning was adjudged insane and com- mitted to the Chester asylum. In the evidence a ‘“‘crime machine“ played a prominent part. The instrument is: the invention of Dr. A. E. Dollear of Jack- sonville and Dr. Frank P. Norbury of Springfield, former alienist of the State Board of Administration. The pneu- mograph,“ as it is known, is based on the scientific discovery that all emo- tlons affect the breathing. A belt is strapped around the prisoner’s waist and a needle draws a chart line of the emotions. Fear retards the breathing, anger ac- celerates it. Each emotion has a rec- ognizable wave on the chart, Numer- ous records were taken of Brokaw. Three newspaper accounts of the mur- der of his son were read to him, at intervals of several days. He was al- lowed to handle the weapon with which he shot his son. The records were compared with the normal ones and were exactly the same, thus strengthening the insanity theory. Dr. Dollear perfected the machine some years ago, but this is the first time it has been used in a criminal case. U. S. SUBMARINE GOES ASHORE IN A FOG NEAR EUREKA, CAL.

TOLEDO, O., Dec. 14.—The Ohio State Telephone Co. today announced that, since the strike of its operators and linemen began three weeks ago, 4000 wires have been cut by rioters, rendering that number of telephones useless. The Home Telephone Co. of Grass Lake, Mich., today filed a petition in Federal court here, asking for an order compelling the Ohio State Tele- phone Co. to give adequate service and for an injunction to restrain any persons from interfering with the re- pair of the company’s lines. Federal Judge John M. Killits has set for hearing late today a similar peti- tion filed by Toledo business men. Runs From Robbers and They Fiee. Lafayette E.

To this end City Counselor Daues Reber declared the telephone com- pany instailed the service at a cost of $17,547, with the verbal understandin with the then existing Police Board the the contracts would be renewed for second five years. He said the net loss on the service to the present is $6472, but that if the contracts are con- tinued another five years this loss will be reduced to about $4000. After Reber left the meeting Mayor Kiel and President Aloe, members of the board, said there appeared to be a moral question as to whether the city should terminate the contracts, but Comptroller Player, the third member, was in favor of proceeding to do so.

In the evidence a ‘“‘crime machine” played a prominent part. The instrument is the invention of Dr. A. E. Dollear of Jack- sonville and Dr. Frank P. Norbury of Springfield, former alienist of the State Board of Administration. The “pneu- mograph,“ as it is known, is based on the scientific discovery that all emo- tlons affect the breathing. A belt is strapped around the prisoner’s waist and a needle draws a chart. line of the emotions. Fear retards the breathing, anger ac- celerates it. Each emotion has a rec- ognizable wave on the chart. Numer- ous records were taken of Brokaw. Three newspaper accounts of the mur- der of his son were read to him, at intervals of several days. He was al- lowed to handle the weapon with which he shot his son. The records were compared with the normal ones and were exactly the same, thus strengthening the insanity theory. Dr. Dollear perfected the machine some years ago, but this is the first time it has been used in a criminal case. U. S.

PEN 1 WOMEN ae Then to Support Compul- sory Military Service, in Talk at M. A. A. Gen. Leonard Wood, in his talk be- fore the local branch of the National Security League, at the Missouri Ath- letic Association last night, made an especial appeal to the women among his hearers to support measures for uni- versal compulsory military service. He told the women they should be more intererted than the men. Tour boys are going to the front,” he said. Tou would be ashamed of them if they did not. ut if we should send them now, what would happen?“ He then told of an English officer, in the days of that country’s military unreadiness, remarking that the young British volunteers, then being sent to Belgium, were not having even a sport- ing chance.“ Some of his hearers thought he alluded to William Jennings Bryan when he mentioned ‘‘the statement of one of our greatest charlatans, that we can raise an army between sunrise and sunset and drive an invader into the sea. Talk of this sort.“ he declared, inviting murder.“ The reference to a „charlatan'“' was loudly applauded, Speaking of the League to Enforce Peace, Gen. Wood said his hearers might support it if they wished, but that they should not depend on it as a means of national security, but should remember that such leagues, in the past, had lasted | only as long as the high contracting par- ties continued to have a common inter- est in supporting them. Gen. Wood said, as he had said in his earlier talk, before the Business Men’s League, at the Mercantile Club, that the volunteer spirit was admirable, but that the volunteer system of service was ineffective and dangerous. “We are not preparing against any one nation,“ he remarked. “But if war comes, can we thrill the world as Bel- i gium thrilled it?“ Dwight F. Davis acted as chairman of the Security League meeting and George M. Brown, president of the local Dranch, made a briet talk. Gen. Wood, who Was the guest of Col. D. S. Stanley at the F'ordyce residence, 21 Washington ter- race, left last night for New York. THE DAY IN CONGRESS. SENATE, Met at noon. Resumed debate on immigration bill.

Head H. Linton Reber, president of the Kinloch Telephone Co., this morning pleaded to the Board of Estimate for the continuance of the company’s con- tracts to operate 571 police flash signal and telephone boxes. The contracts were entered into severally, as each box was installed in 1910, to run five years, but there was a provision that unless 9 days’ notice were given, each contract as it expired would be automatically renewed for a year. | The contracts have been continued to the present under this arrangement, but the city recently made efforts to ter- minate them, with a view to installing its own system, for which $11,000 worth of equipment has been purchased. To this end City- Counselor Daues FFF High B i 7 * 4. 8 . — —ů Of the individual contracts. Reber declared the telephone com- pany instailed the service at a cost of $17,547, with the verbal understandin with the then existing Police Board the the contracts would be renewed for « second five years. He said the net less on the service to the present is $6472, but that if the contracts are con- tinued another five years this loss will be reduced to about $4000. After Reber left the meeting Mayor Kiel and President Aloe, members of the board, said there appeared to be a moral question as to whether the city should terminate the contracts, but Comptroller Player, the third member, was in favor of proceeding to do so. It Was decided to instruct the City Coun- selor to make a legal demand upon the company and the Police Board for in- formation as to the time the contracts expire. St. Louis Gets Convention.

PARIS, Dec. 1. - Premier Briand ac- companied his denunciation of the Ger- man peace offer as a trap, with an an: nouncement that he would ask for 1a creased power with which to carry on the war, according to full reports of his speech before the Chamber of Depu- ties yesterday. At the same time the Premier promised that the Government would not undertake any scheme of na- tional mobilization such as that involved in the German home army plan. He spoke before a House crowded to the uttermost, both on the floor and in the press and ‘Visitors’ galleries, Amid | waves of enthusiasm, he insisted that it was his duty immediately to warn the country against the possibility of } being poisoned. Briand’s observations on the news from Berlin followed the n of the policy of the ministry he has just formed, and it was noticed that they awakened far greater applause than any of his preceding statements. After his Speech, by a vote ot 814 to 165, the Chamber voted confidence in the new Government. Record of France in 1916.. “Bvidently,”’ said the Premier, re- cent developments are serious, but it is necessary to recall what has hap- pened in 1916. After eight months it is not a German, but a French, victory which in truth has been inscribed on French flags.“ The Premier referred to the French success at Verdun and the gains made on the Somme and derided Germany for its cl4im of victory while it was tak- ing such measures as, what he termed, _ the ee of the entiré popula. tion.“ The enden applauded unanimously when he affirmed that the war Govern- nent of France would not follow the policy of Germany. He asked, how- ever, for the power to regulate all ques - tions concerning the national defense, including the possibility of requisition, but said that if the latter step was considered necessary it would not be carried out inconsiderately. The cham- ber again applauded w he announced that the Government w ask for the suppression of the 1 r traffic throughout France. * Warns France to Prepare for Spring. Premier Briand expressed the cértainty that some of the measures taken by Germany have behind them the object ol intensifying the war next spring, when, he said, she will have stronger armies to face. He warned France to be prepared for these efforts, to have confidence in the final outcome. Th peace proposal. It is after having proclaimed its vic- tory,” ne said, “while at the same time making new efforts to gain it, that Ger- many sends us certain words which I am unable to explain. You have read the address delivered by Von Bethmann- Holiweg, the Chancellor of the German empire. I have not the text, and, there- fore, I cannot give an official opinion, but it is improbable that, in the present circymstences, those who are asked t> inter'vene will accept a task Which might well disturb confidence here. “I will make known officially the precise concerted opinion of the allies, but I must now warn my country against a possible poisoning of opin- ion. When a country, armed to the teeth, mobilizes its entire civil popula- tion, at the risk of ruining its com- merce and disorganizing the homes of | which it ie 8 proud, when its factories are working overtime to increase its war materials, and when it takes the people of an invaded country and ob- liges them to work for it; ff, at that moment, I do not cry out to my coun- try: ‘Look out, take care,’ I would be entirely culpable. It comes from yonder isa proposition to negotiate peace, at a time when Belgium is invaded, Servia * invaded, * departments of France are invad Deputy Andras Le Fevre here inter- rupted, saying: And crimes unpun- shed. Premier Briand resumed: “Cry to Decetve Neutrals.” “Te is a fredoubtadble moment and I cannot call your attention too much to the facta. What do we see in this ad- dress? It ie the same cry to deceive im} neutrals or the clairvoyance of the Ger- desired man people—‘it was not we who this. horrible war. It was imposed 09 us.’ ele. time, No, you were the aggressors and a whateyer you say the facts are there to prove it. The blood is on your heads, . and not on ours,’ “Now, coming to the bottem of things, I have the right to denounce this ma- neuver, this gross trap. Wee want, if, is said, by enemies, to give our peo- ple all the means to prosper that they can desire, Others are offered as alms a consent not to annihilate them. After the Marne, after Verdun, France resist- ing firmly, is offered this. Such doou~ ment must be thoroughly mediated upon to see toward what objects it tends.” There was loud applause at these words and Deputy Thierry-Cazes shout- ed: “The country thinka as you do.“ pene Friday brings prices that mean an be sure to attend this sale. or figured silk. he turned to a discussion of the German | matter Lamp Sale! another great Lamp Sale at 25% to 35® They were specially bought at substantial price boese that is the only reason we can offer them to you at these prices.

STOCKHOLM, Dec. I. —The City Council has just renewed for three years to the “Stockholm System Co.“ the mo- nopoly in the sale of liquors which thut company has eld for three years. An- other organization cont@sted' for the franchise, but the council could see no reason for making 4 change. By renewing the franchise the city au- thorities have set the stamp of their ap- proval on a novel plan of controlling consumption which was first introduced by the Stockholm company and in the beginning gave the company 4 unique position among the many ‘disinterested management“ companies that have bee in existence under the so-called ‘‘Goth- enburg system.” This plan, briefly stated, involves a system by which those controlling the sale of liquor are enabled to say to the consumers: Be good, or you'll get no liquor.”’ System of Passbook. Dr. Ivan Bratt, a former physician, a sociologist and student of the drink question, is the father of the idea, whose outstanding feature is the regu- ‘ation.of the retail trade by means of a passbook, called in Swedish „motbok.“ Tune old method of controlling the sale of liquor, already referred to as the Gothenburg system, dates from 1855, It had as its specifically Swedish feature the monopoly in the trade which it en- trusted to quasi-private companies. The whole business in a definite area was placed in the hands of such a company, whose profits were limited to a small amount and which was, in the words of the old law, to sell liquor in the inter- ests of morality.” Apart from, their power to restrict the total sales, how- ever, these companied had no way of getting at the individual who used liquor to excess. Dr. Bratt, after long study of the matter, conceived thg idea of the pass- book as the best method of selling liquor in the interest of morality,” a thing which, he felt, was not being and secured the monopoly for the cap- ital city three years ago. The company has authority to conduct all retail establishments for the sale of liquor to be drunk off the premises, but may also delegate this authority to pri- vate persons or companies.. Some 4 of these so-called “off” liceyses are thus held by persons other than the system company, but these will not be extend- ed after the deaths of the present hold- ers. ' Card Index Check. Control of sales at the off places is effected by means of the passbook re- ferred to. A passbook is issued to an adult resident of the city upon applica- tion, provided his or her record justifies it. The company maintains an elabo- rate card index, in which are listed not only all persons to whom wbooks have been issued or from whom they have been withdrawn, but also all persons to whom, if they apply, books will not be issued. Books are not issued to habitual drunkards, to persons who have been arrested for drunkenness within a year, to paupers or to persons who have figured unpleasantly in police court rec- ords. for Bogor may not ange. 5 per cent . on the capital, ers.

It is bravery against unceasing attacks of the elements, against the numbing influence of the PH Ho ee ey re “a CERES ES reer nor = been the theater of some of the bitter- est struggles of modern warfare to ap- preciate the conditions which the en- tente allies on the western front have overcome and still are conquering. To drive the Germans from their deeply entrenched and tunneled positions along many sectors it was necessary for the entente forces to blast the earth from above and beneath them, transforming villages, roads and undulating farm lands into veritable primeval wastes. But the task of carrying on” over this ever-widening stretch of what once was appropriately called ‘‘no man’s land“ when it lay between the opposing front lines, has been accomplished and the problems of transport have been solved more gatisfactorily until now at- tention is being largely devoted to amellorating the fron-nard conditions of the British troops in the winter fields and trenches. Heavy sheep-skin and leather coats and jackets have been is- sued to the men and warm and dry rest billets provided for those in the sup- port reserve positions. Five Hot Meals a Day. Best of all, hqwever, Tommy“ in the front line gets five hot meals daily. There is breakfast at 7; dinner at 12, tea at 5, and soup or stew at 9, and again at 2 o’clock in the morning. From reports received from Geiman prisoners and observations made during raids, the British have discovered that eonditions on the German front are very different. Along most of the new lines formed by the battle of the Somme the German front trenches are merely a ken stretch of linked-up shell ho’es, with no deep dugouts and only a few improvised hiding holes where two or three men can take cover from the shrapnel. British reports from the Somme sec- tion. say the German communication trenches are impassable from mud and the shelling of the British guns, so tha: all the carrying of supplies and the bringing up of reliefs have to take place over the open, wtihout cover of any kind. That is why the British guns con- tinue to hurl shells back of the German lines in the fog and rain. Often the shells or bombs from the British side throw up fountains of water high ‘n the air from the German trenches. There are no floor boards or other trench com- forts available for the Germans,’ owing to the increasing fire of the British ar- tillery. 40 Days in the Trenches. Thus far this winter German prison- ers say their troops in the West have not been supplied with dny Sheepskin, leather or fur coats. They have re- celved only . woalen vests, body bands and mittens. Normally, prisoners say, they are supposed to be in the trenches not more than 14 to 18 days, but some divisions lately have remained there days and over without relief. The ra- tions consist almost wholly of tinned meat, sausage, herring, sardines rice, rye bread, coffee and mineral waters. Recently a daily ration of brandy has been issued to the men in the front line. For rest the men often are crowded into damp cellars. os 1 = aio * Fi Piano With Stool, 3 and Music Lessons Terms of 51 0 $1.25 a Week OWHERE else will you find the equal of this bargain — it’s a high-grade used Stetson Piano that has been put in splendid condition —the original selling price of this instrument was 3375.00 — complete with stool, scarf and music lessons—at $1 130. — Lindemann Piano With Stool, Scarf and Mysic Lessons.

Fox, manager of the Aluminum Company of America, East St. Louis, an- nounced today that the company will on Jan. 1 establish a dining room at the plant with a capacity for serving the 1500 employes, who will be charged only pany supplying the equipment and the cooking staff. Fox visited the company’s plant at New Kensington, Pa., recently and found that the corporation was serving a meal con- sisting of soup, a vegetable, meat, des- sert, coffee or milk for 18 cents. Ad- vanced prices of foodstuffs might make it necessary to charge more now, he said. The dining room will be on the second floor of a new six-story building that has been erected by the company, The Swift packing companies at the National Stockyards has been providing diningroom service for its employes for a long time. The diningroom accommo- dates 600 at one time. About 800 are served each day. Meat, a vegetable, coffee or milk and pie are served for 15 cents. More expensive food can be ordered if desired. The employes are charged only the cost of the food. The Armour Packing Co. furnishes sandwiches, pie and coffee and 2% cents for each and feed about 900 employes each day. PRESIDENT REMITS PRISON TERM OF NATIONAL GUARDSMAN Sentence of Dishonorable Discharge for Refusal to Take Federal Oath Allowed to Stand. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 14.—Pres- ident Wilson has approved the action of an army courtmartial in sentencing Lewis O. Gardner of the New Mexico militia to dishonorable discharge and a year in prison at hard labor for failure to obey the Federal call for border duty last. June, but remitted the prison sen- tence because the case had been pressed as a test. War Department officials regard the decision as important because of the- warning it gives to more than 10,000 en- rolled members of the National Guard who have not appeared for Federal service. Gardner was enrolled as a member of B company, First Infantry, New Mex- ico National Guard. He was one of a considerable number who refused to be the others changed their minds when courts-martial were ordered, and joined the companies rather than be tried. Secretary Baker took the position that Gardner was not aware of the gravity of his offense and recommended that the prison sentence be remitted. ST. LOUIS SCHOOL LIKELY TO WIN RED CROSS SEAL PRIZE Twenty-Four Pupils at 5436 Natural Bridge Road Sold 12,000 Seals Tuesday. St. Louis is likely to win the national Red Cross seal pennant. for open-air schools, offered this year by the Amer- ican Red Cross Society, .because of the achievement of the older and smaller of its two open air schools. This schoo), at 6496 Natural Bridge road, with a to- of 24 pupils, sold 12,009 seals on Red Cross seal school day Tuesday, thereby establishing the aigh- est percentage of sales per capita thus far recorded in the United Stats. Mem- bers of the local committee do not expect this to be excelled, or even equaled this year. The Natural Bridge Road school was built in 1911 by the Tuberculosis Society, and still is owned by that organizaton, although it now is operated by the Board of Education. Miss Agnes Hewit is prin- cipal. When the school was built there were only 53 institutions of the kind in the United States. Now there are 360, many of them modeled after the first St Louis school. A second and larger open- air school was opened two years ag» on South Grand avenue. This school also made a fine showing on seal school day. Reports from the School Day Commit- tee show that the Banneker School for negroes came second in point of per centage. One room in that school, with 53 children, sold 2800 seals. mustered into th- Federal servicg, but Friday ow—A $25 Coat Sale that will demonstrate in a big way what Garland’s Greater Coat Department means to the women of this city and neighborhood. — 18 2 FUR-COLLARED Velour Coats, and practically ev 775 other fabric and color in fashionable demand. sie oe 2 ae, a — woe if About this time each year we hold a remarkable Coates It is an excellent time for one—women want such Coat ts 8. as these for their holiday shopping— and the saving they! make can take care of a good-sized “gift list.” The Coats assembled for this sale are in styles that! their initial showing but a short time ago.

The American Government is under- taking the interests of the Rumanians in the central empires, but it is uncertain to what extent Vopicka will be able to 40 this in Rumania itself. It is reported that Peter P. Carp, leader of the Conservatives, and other prominent members of the anti-war party who op hostilities with the central Powers, have also remained in the Rumanian capital. The German troops, on entering Buch- arest, received a warm welcome from several thousand Austro-German prie- oners whom the Rumanian authorities were unable to take northward with them.

EL PASO, Tex., Dec. 14.—The poor ot Guanajuato, one of the large mining cities of Central Mexico, are dying at the rate of about 70 persons a day, ac- cording to an affidavit sworn to by an American mining man just out of there. The affidavit which has been for warde, by Government officials to Washington affirms also that the women teachers in the parochial schools had been seized by Carranza soldiers and taken to their camps, while church property was turned into bull rings and barracks. The document goes on to say that the poor were wearing native grasses for clothing and eating roots and twigs of trees and that corn sent by the American Red Cross to relieve this suffering was seized by officials and sold at $3.50 gold a bushel. “Is40” Extra Selected Coffee. aa 1. more than 10,000 eve . —— Want Ad offers.

He justly praised the volunteer soldier who of his own will assumes a hazardous and onerous task, which should be borne equally by all citi- zens who are capable of bearing arms in defense of the country. The spirit of the volunteer is above that of his fellow citizens, capable of mili- tary service, because he undertakes the task of defending the country and of preparing for mill- THE POST-DISPATCH PLATFORM.

Gen. Wood justly condemned the volunteer sys- tem, whether in militia or Federal reserve serv- ice as undemocratic and undependable. It is un- democratic because it results in inequality of pub- lic service on the part of citizens. Loyal and take hazards and the labor of military service; slackers, selfish citizens, evade the burden of mil- itary service. What would be thought of volun- teer taxes to support the Government and sup- ply resources in peace and war? What chance would Government have to survive either peace or war on such a tax system? In war the need of the Government for trained soldiers is fully as great as for the money: to support a vigorous war. What chance has a Government to defend the country against enemies when it cannot en- force the obligation of military service on its citi- zens?

The writers’ attention was called to a letter ap- pearing in your paper Thursday evening, signed, Progress.“ It seems that in our great city of St. Louis the people ‘must everlastingly complain against the service given them by certain corpora- tions. It would appear that the press, by adver- tising such evils and suggesting a remedy, would force any corporation serving the public to make - whatever changes necessary to conform so far as reasonable to the demands of the people. A matter now existing in St. Louis should be looked into, so all citizens will be given an equal About a month ago a package was shipped to 10 cents was added for consignee’s receipt to be received that a letter was at the express office The ex- press office was reached over the telephone and requested to kindly mail this letter they had to my home address, as the charges were prepaid. The express company refused to do this, their claim being that a signature would be réquired to release the letter. They would not permit the signing of this card and sending the same to them ter and this would cost 15 cents extra. No corporation is strong enough to continually fight public sentiment. A prepaid package should mean exactly what it specifies and that is door delivery, wherever addressed to. I am informed that express companies maintain a delivery service to the West End dt st.

We shall know u as absolute as the terms in which it is conferred been looked on as the undeserved honors of a ma- sponsible for national defense, but withhold from it the power to obtain and Gals the soldiers nec- essary for defense? The history of American wars is a record of the undependableness and inefficiency of the volun- teer system. Every war President and every army commander has testified to this failure. The re- cent effort to mobilize and federalize the mili- tia adds to the record of failure. Gen. Wood justly emphasizes the democracy and the efficiency of universal obligatory military training and sérvice. It is democratic because it enforces equality of the rights and obligations of citizenship; because It places the burden of national defense equally on every citizen in accordance with his ability to bear it; because it places in the hands of the Government the power to defend the country as well as the responsibility of national defense; because it eliminates the necessity of maintaining a large standing paid army—mercenary, profess- sional soldiery— which is the greatest possible menace to democracy. It is democratic because the citizens of the country who control the Gov- ernment are the soldiers who defend the nation. Their representatives have the power to choose betwen war and peace. The universal service system makes for peace because it minimizes the professional soldier and depends upon the citizen who wields sovereign po- litical power. Universal military training and service make for efficiency in both war and peace. The system, while it requires only a small part of the time and energy of citizens for preparation and does not interfere with their occupations, places at the disposal of the nation for war the whole man- ‘hod power of thé people, trained and prepared for effective use against an enemy. The system makes for efficiency in war because it calls into action the patriotism, loyalty and self- sacrifice of citizens in behalf of the country. It unifies citizenship for public service. It makes for efficiency in peace because it de- velops the best qualities of manhood, moral, mental and physical. It builds up strong, capable, disciplined men, trained for efficient work, and thus provides for efficient industrial organiza- tion, which is important in peace and is as vital to victory in war as efficient military or- | ganization. We hope that we will not be drawn into war; Wwe strive to avoid it, but no man can say that it will not come or when it will come. The way of wisdom and of peace is to be prepared for it. The way of folly is to gamble with unprepared- néés on its not coming—to take a chance, with all the odds in favor of the enemy. That is the path to disaster which may involve the liberty of the people and the life of the nation. When will we Americans awake? = & * — a - Cotton is king again.

Gregory declares that the generally credited report of his early re- tirement to resume private practice is untrue. A resignation at this particular time would be as- tonishing. Nowhere else in the United States can a man trained in the law find any such profession- ‘al opportunity during the next few months as that which will come to the incumbent of the of- fice of Federal Attorney-General. When P. C. Knox was appointed to this office at the beginning of the second McKinley administra- tion he was looked upon as merely a typical Han- na selection from among representatives of the in- terests. He did not suspect at the time the mag- nitude of the opportunity that came to him in the famous Northern Securities case. Previous decis- fons had deen vague as to the exact scope of the Sherman law. Decisions under it had even been conflicting. The Northern Securities opinion of Nov. 7, 1908, defined the principle on which all subsequent trust litigation has been based. Mr. Knox won his contention and gained a prestige without which his subsequent selection as Secre- tary of State and receipt of 68 votes for President in a Republican national convention would have * ‘chine adherent. The suit over the Adamson law offers an even greater opportunity than the Northern Securities suit.

The German press is jubilant over the achieve- ments of the “Deutschland,” and contend that the naval supr definitely broken. The Koelniache Zeitung signif- icantly says: Our submarines, whether mercantile or war, can pass the British cordon when ani where: they please. How they do it, that is our se- cret, and the cag wonderment of our opponents. In the beginning it certainly did look as though they had us cornered; but where there is a will there is a way. This seems to a great extent borne out by a dis- lished by the Frankfurter - Zeitung. It reads: “Four German submarines took oil here yesterday (Oct: 24); they were mothered by a foreign ship. No enemy ships in sight.“ The latter paper pre- dicts that munition and food shipments to Britain and France will shortly come to an abrupt end, as all the marine lanes are about accdunted for; and, as the article states, the U-boats have a special code for intercommunication, and communication with the shipping centers, as well as with home ports. According to the Weser Zeitung (Bremen) the exploit of Capt. Koenig has been of much greater import to the central Powers than the mere @hip- ment of merchandise. He has learned so much, observed so much, that his trip to America “has become an epoch in seafaring,” as the paper puts it. = * Scripture for Europe: makers. A Blessed are tHe peace- = & * i i LOW WAGES DEMORALIZE WORKERS, That starvation wages tend to the demoraliza- tion of women workers is now an accepted fact. Drs. Helmholz and Hoffman of.Chicago, in the current number of the Journal of ¢he American Medical Association, poMt out that low wages and poverty are responsible for undue infantile mortality in that city. Low wages, in these cases, meant weekly wages of $10 or less, in 97 fam- ilies, and between $10 and $15 in 86 other families. The Post-Dispatch, especially at this time of year, reteives letters from destitute families, ask- ing for relief. One such letter, referred to a char- table association, brought the reply that the case was known to the association, which had found that the bread-winner of the family had been offered, through another charitable organ- ization, two jobs at $9 per week each. He had re- fused them, stating that he could find better po- sitions for himself. Meanwhile, he and his fam- ily, in which there are three infant children, are being supported by charity. The charitable organizations try to help men to become self-supporting. But if they have nothing better than $9 a week jobs to offer men with fam- ilies, in these days of almost famine prices, whose fault is it if the bread-winner refuses such a job which he knows will not keep himself, his wife and babies alive? And if he prefers to rely on charity until he can find a position that pays decent wages, can he be greatly blamed? He is between the devil and the deep sea. The $9 job, to the head of a family, is an incentive for him to rely on charity or fall even lower-in the social scale. = = > A i 4 1 AN INDOMITABLE SOUL. Empires and principalities flourish and fade; monarchs reign and return to dust. The earth- ly hope men set their hearts upon turns ashes,” sang the melancholy bard, and, once agaln: The lion and the lizard keep the courts where Jam- shyd gloried and drank deep.” Yet one thing there is which never bows to the conqueror and that is an indomitable human soul. No poet or philosopher comes in a materialistic age to re- mind us of this great truth. Instead the mes- sage comes from a woman, a decrepit old woman ot 72. Her name is Sara Bernhardt. For more than half a-century this remarkable individual has charmed a world with her art. The last time she was in St. Louis her feeble frame, . supported on the stage by tue scarcely disguised. aid of her associates, seemed already stumbling on the brink of annihilation. Little of her old power survived except the matchless music of her voice. Since then she has: been even more of an invalid, spared a little while by the harsh therapy of the surgeon’s knife. Now she is back again. To enhance her power to please she has undertaken to master the English language at an age when persons of less enduring stuff are beginning- to nod in chimney corners—essayed the task triumphantly, too, if recent accounts are to be credited. Time was when Americans used to smile at her repea “farewell tours.” But how ean one smile any longer? If inextinguishable youth is an attribute of divinity, surely they were not wrong who years ago began calling her the Divine Sara. NOAH’S 8— One is pained to observe that Father Noah was guilty of a most regrettable social blunder. This remark has no relation to the old gentleman’s lamented lapse from the water wagon, but to an entirely different matter. An American explorer who has recently climbed to the summit of Mount Ararat has discovered that the patriarch neglected to leave hig visiting card on the occasion of his er visitors had left some sort of memento, and more deplorable.

One is a shield-shaped bag of cretonne, the handles fastened at the point of the top, giving a peculiar shape to the article. These are cut out and faced as the basket were. Bags of every description and for every purpose can be made, and so varied are the de- signs in the material and the color that, from kitchen to bedroom, their use ‘is legion. One bag for crochet work is made by joining two semicircular pieces of cretonne, with a shirred strip of the same. In the side of one piece, insert a ring through which the yarn or silk being used may pass, thus insuring against dropping the ball. The handle is long enough to pass over the wrist. Perhaps one of the most helpful de- vices is the doily roll. One may have rolls even for the small place doilies, and these are not difficult to make. A large roll of cardboard, glued together and covered with one end of the yard- wide and yard or more length of cre- tonne, will make it. Then the edges are beund with ribbon or tape. Within is fastened to the lower edge of the roll, next to the cretonne, some Japanese paper to keep the doilies from solling or crocking from the cretonne. The er.ds of the tape or ribbon, with which the whole is bound, serve to tie up the roll. Any size may be made to the width of the doily for which it is made. Biotting paper can be used for the roll. or any material that lends itself to the purpose of keeping the wy unwrin- kled. — 6 Kentucky Salad, | ‘ ͤ— — O make this novel dish, six things a. are needed: a ring of mint jelly. a grapefruit cup, lettuce leaves, 38 tomatoes, some cream cheese, and may- ennaise dressing.

While the need of protection“ in the business world is very often over estimated where a girl is strong and well balanced, yet there is something to be said about the kind of a girl you describe. The temptations are many and the trials are overwhelming. It looks very fine to sit in a theater and see a lovely picture portrayed, yet the endless work and worry and torment and tribulation that must be over- come before it is a picture cannot be known except to those who have gone through it. There are so many failures and so few successes. There are sO many who think they can be stars, but find they are only sorry, struggling substi- tutes.

That is the one fallacy that always fools those who want to make the fight for the foreground with beauty minus brains. It looks easy, but it is so difficult.

Schmoll said he understood he had signed only the bond and could not swear whether the signature on the bid was his. Schmoll said he had no financial in- terest in the company except that the Tower Grove Bank, of which he is president, loaned money to Cooney to carry on the construction.

Weisberg of 3438 Franklin avenue, former proprietor of the Normandy Hotel, were in Police Court today on cross charges of dis- turbing the peace, growing out of an encounter Nov. 16 at Grand and Frank- lin avenues. Mrs, Weisberg testified that Groves had criticised the way she conducted the hotel and when she and her husband started to a theater she tucked a whip under her coat. Groves came out of a tallor shop while her husband was in a saloon getting a cigar and she de- had said. He seized her wrists and then choked her until three men interfered and then she struck him with her whip. Groves testified that he merely held Mre. Weisberg’s hands in self-protec- tion.
