A jack-knife blade, 2% inches long and % of an inch wide was taken yesterday from the right jaw of Marion Chavis, a Mexican, in St. Mary’s Hospital, East St. Louls. Dr. Charles Winning, who performed the operation, said the blade appeared to have been encysted in the jaw for five years. The patient has been unable to talk sufficiently to ex- plain how it came there. Chavis is a sheep butcher at the Swift packing nouse. Three weeks ago & roller fell and struck him on the jaw. A serious swelling resulted, and X-ray examinations, for what was at first supposed .to be a fracture of the bone, showed the presence of a foreign sub- stance, It now appears that the blade Washington and Berlin, in the sense in-! had been broken off in the man’s cheek, dicated by President Wilson in ‘his ad- dress to Congress, appears to be very slight, judging by ‘all the Wifermation, some of the highest authenticity, gath- ered by the Associated Press. It is stated positively in high political circles that the German orders for the conduct of a submarine war cannot and will not be modified; that in Germany the determination to enforce the prohib- ited zone order is absolute and final, and that the only security for shipping is in _ avoidance of the prohibited zone. Germany, the Associated Press i. in- formed, resorted to this measure after the “shameful” rejection by the entente Powers of péace overtures, and only after the fullest determination, and as the imperative weapon in defense of ita threatened interests; Germany cannot relinquish this. weapon—the only one promising a Speedy end to the war—re- luctant as ‘Germany was to take this step. Keenly Disappointed Over Break. The Government had hoped that the United States would see it in this light, and was and is actuated by no animosi- ty to the United States in its determina- tion. _Gernmiany, therefore, so the high informant of the Associated Press con- tinued, is very keenly disappointed and grieved by the terms of Mr. Wilson’s iInessage, but the Government cannot al- ter or modify the course upon which it has determined. This official added: “We can only hope and trust that. American ships and Ameri¢an citizens , wil! avoid the danger zones laid down in the German memorandum.” * United States Ambassador Genard vir- tually has decided to return to the tinited States from a Spanish uv rt. The plan to have Arerican ints.vats taken over by the Brazilian Minister tas been atandoned and it is not known tho will ; represent America in Berlin arier Mr. Gcrard’s departure. The Associated Press learns authori- tatively that Germany will propose to Ambassador Gerard a special] reratifica- tion of the Prussian-American treaties of 1799 and 1828, allowing nations. ir case of war nine months in which to settle their affairs and leave hostile countries. This step would positively insure Ameficans in Germany and Ger- mans in America against internment if hostilities should break out, and would . prevent a precipitate exodus from either country, such as was general in Europe | when the war began. "Old Treaties Still in Effect. & representative of the Foreign Of- fice ‘pointed out to’ a correspondent of the Associated Press that the ancient treaties between the United States and Prussia were still in effect, and con- | tained a clause contrary to the usual rule, that they should not be invalidated by the outbreak of hostilities. ‘This official said that so far as he was in- formed Germany certainly would hold to these treaties, and that there would be no question of interning Americans in Germany in case of war. In official quarters there seemed to be anxiety to reassure the few Americans still here on the question of internment. Several of these Americans are in 2// volves a delay of at least a fortnight. Others, including long-time — ‘end thate protecting tissue was formed’ about it, which rendered it harmless until the recent accident. This accident broke the end of the blade and caused a new inflammation, which is*now yield- ing to treatment.

Pershing, the first man in the long column, crossed the border at 10:0 a. m. There were no smiles or cheers. A little crowd at the line was unmoved, as were the soldiers, except one man, who set up a feeble cheer. The infantry stretched in a line over the rim of the dusty horizon.

News of the break of diplomatic re-| lations between the United States and Germany was made known here today through newspaper dispatches. Gerard was on his way to keep an appointment with Foreign Secretary Zimmerman at noon today when an Associated Press correspondent showed him dispatches giving details of the President’s speech. Tne Ambassador declined to make any comment. He conferred with Chancellor von Bethman-Hiollweg yester- day, but as neither official had ‘then any information in regard to the Pres- ident’s decision, their conversation was general in nature. The Chancellor apparently asked Ge- rard to call in order to learn if he ha? any informatien as to his Government's course, neavs of which had been e2ger- lv awaited here. “The general fee'ing in Germany is regret that the American President gave to the German note an interpretation which was not intended: by Germany,”’ says the Oversecs News Agency. ‘The German measures are not intended to damage neuira‘s, but were caused by the necessity of «defending Germany against hostile measures which aré con- trary to international law.’’ Announcement has been made in Washington that the interests of the inited States in Germany will be taken over by the diplomatic representatives of Spain. President to Rule on Status of Prus- sian-American ‘Treaty of 1828. WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—The status of the Prussian-American treaty of 1828 is one of tre first things President Wilson will have to decide as a result of break- ing off relations with Germany. Originally negotiated and known as the treaty of 1799, all of its terms were included in the later treaty of 1828, when it expired by limitation. The United States considered the treaty obsolete and no American official ever believei its terms would be invoked until Ger- many suddenly took advantage of them when called upon fo settle for sinking the American sailing ship William P. Frye early in the war. Examination of the terms of the a}. most forgotten convention shows that it contains provisions which, if permit- ted to stand, might prevent the United: States from confiscating German war- bound ships, in American harbors, in care of war. It also contains the pro- visions for the departure of nationals from either country, mentioned itn to.- day's dispatches. How the United States would regard a proporal for a special re-ratification of the treaty is not clear at this time. The impression prevails in some quar- ters, that it might be more desirable to denounce the treaty than to give it new force. Germany Trying to Arrange That Neutrals Shali Get Coal and Iron. LONDON, Feb. 5.—Reuter's Amster- dam correspondent says the German | Government had issued the following statement: “It is stated that negotiations are afoot between the authorities interested , concerning how Germany, by removing | peertain transport difficulties, can take into account the requirements of neu- tral states in relation to essential raw materials, especially coal and iron.’ News of Breaking of Relations Ke- celved Calmiy in Vienna, AMSTERDAM, Feb. 5.—A Vienna tele- gram today says that the news of the rupture of relations between Germany and America was received by the press there with great calm. Confidence was expressed by the newspapers, the mes- sage adds, that President Wilson's de- cision: didypot find the German and Aus- | tro-H Governments unprepared. U.S, AHERES 11 ADVICE AGAINST SAILING OF SHIPS Has No Power to Hold American Vessels in Port, but Favors This Course. WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—What steps o take with regard to American mefr- chant ships sailing for the war zone, whether to arm them, provide convoys, let them go unattended; and unarmed, or hold them in port, is proving one of the most difficult questions arising out of the German crisis. The State Department is standing on its announced opinion that it would be wiser to postpone sailings for a few days, but individual ship owners are free to take whatever action their judg- ment distates, regardless of Federal ad- vice against sailings. No pressure has been exerted to hold ships in port. Neither the arming nor the convoying of American ships would be regarded where as a hostile act, although it is ad- ritted Germany might so classify it. The German blockade and threat to sink all vessels, neutral as well as bel- ligerent, are held here to be so far afield from internationa! law that armament er convoy for self-protecting is a clear right. The status of Germans aboard the war-bound merchant vessels in Amer: ican ports wil be the same as any other aliens if they come ashore. The break with Germany has not affected them in} any way. As long as they remain aboard their vessels they are on German terri- tory and immigration officials have no control over them. The case of crews aboard interned German auxillary cruisers is different. These crews belong to Germany’s mili- tary forces and are being taken off and guarded by United thorities. : Sailors aboard German merchant ships may enter the United States, as may any alien, if they pass required tests. A statement was given out by the Secretaries of Labor explaining the law in this connection. MUNITIONS MILLS AND ARSENALS HEAVILY GUARDED PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 5.— Plants of tremendous military importance are in and near this city, including the Frankford end Schuylkill arsenals and the big armament mills which turn out thousands of tons of wir materials. All of these factories are under heavy guard and Government agents are searching the lists of em- ployes at all munition plants to eliminate “undersirables.”’ City policemen are on duty at the postoffice, the customs house, the quartermaster’s depot and the two Government arsenals. Commandant Russell of the Phila- delphia Navy Yard, has every marine and bluejacket in the yard either at drill] or helping to load supplies on the warships. The battleships Mis- souri and Minnesota are said to be practically ready for sea duty, as is} the cruiser Wisconsin. The battle- ship Ohio and the destroyer Pauld- ing will be ready in a'few days. States naval au-| WILL SAIL WIT | VON BERNSTORtr Party of 3000 Will Probably Re- turn Home by Way of Cuba and Spain. et WASHINGTON, Feb. 6,—Arrange- ments are being made for all German Consuls and consular. officials in the United States to accompany Count von Bernstorff and the German embassy staff out of the country. The whple party—more than 300 in all—probably will go by way of Cuba and Spain. Dr. Paul Ritter, Swiss Minister, now in charge of German diplomatic inter- ests here, is conducting negotiations with Assistant Secretary Phillips of the State Department for the departure of the German staffs. The counselor of the Swiss Legation conferred today with Secretary Phi'- lips and it was said that the plans were being delayed only while informa- tion of steamship and transportation fa- cilities were being gathered. The first step is to mobilize all the German con- sular forces in time to join Count von Kernstorff’s party. At first it had been planned for the party to leave on scme steamer sailing from New York, but after further con- sideration it was thought better in view of the circumstances that the depart- ure be made from some less thickly settled community. Under the tentative plane the Consuls and their families will go to Havana by way of Key West, from various parts of the co-«ntry while the embassy staff will go directly south from Washington. A Spanish steamship large enough tc accommodate all Germans is due to sa'tl from Havana for Spain, Feb. 20, but it is considered probable all the party will arrive in the Cuban capital sever.’ days before that time. From Spain ft is planned for the party to go to Switzerland either by rail through France or by steamer to Italy and then by rail. In either case safe conducts will be required for the party and probably will be obtained by the United States. It also was learned to- day that Count von Bernstorff and members of his staff will take with them when they depart only their per- sonal belongings. All the furniture and fixtures in the embassy will be left be- hind. There is understood to be some ob- jection by American officials to the German party going by way of Cuba and Spain because it would be neces- sary for them to pass through France or Italy, both hostile countries, and that might make some difficulties in securing the safe conduct. An effort is being made to get the party to sail from New York on a ship which would take them to Denmark or a Scandina- vian port. BERLIN YIELDS TO DEMAND - JO FREE 72 AMERICANS Men F'rom Ships Sunk by Raider Were Taken to Germany on the Yarrowdale. BERLIN, Feb. 4, via London, Feb. 5.— Germany today acceded to the Ameri- can demands for the release of the 72 Americans taken from ships sunk by the raider in the Atlantic and brought to a German port aboard the steamer Yarrowdale. One of the iast things to be done by the United States Government before severing diplomatic relations with Ger- many was to demand that the Ameri- cans taken by the German raider from the British steamers Georgic, Mount Temple and Voltaire, and who were be- ing held in German prison camps, be re- leased. : A Washington dispatch Saturday said there were 60 of these men. Germany in holding them had eontended that ay paid members of the crews of armec enemy merchantmen they were due no immunity.

FROM LIVERPOUL FOR AMERICA ——————, 231 Passengers, Including Many Americans on First Vessel to Risk German Blockade. NEW YORK, Feb. 5.—The American Line received 4 cablegram today saying that the steamship New York, carry- ing passengers, left Liverpool at 5 p. m. Saturddy. . She is the first American passenger ship to sail since Germany promulgated her new submarine war- fare. ; The New York carried 231 passengers, including many Americans. She is ex: pected to arrive here next Sunday. The American line steamship Philade}l- phia arrived at Liverpool at ll p. m., Sunday, according to cablegrams re- ceived here this morning by officials of the International Mercantile Marine. The steamship Finland, also of the American line, arrived at Liverpool at 8 o'clock this morning. For the first time since the beginning of the war marine insurance rates on American ships were today placed on a level with those for ships of the entente allies, The rates were advanced, it waa learned from underwriters, from the average of 2 to 3 per cent prevailing last week, to 10 per cent, the same rate which has been in force for some time on ships of Great Britain and France. Twenty-six Americans were among passengers who sailed last night on ths French line steamship Bochambeau fer Bordeaux. The Cunard liner Carmania and the Atlantic transport line steam- ship Manhattan also saiied yerterday. The Carmania. carried 18 passengers. Persons were not permitted on the piers to say good-by to those sailing on any of these ships. Officers of the White Star liner Ced- ric and Scandinavian-American Liner Frederick VIII, which arrived here, re- ported a dearth of shipping in the lanes these vessels traveled. The ocean ap- peared to be deserted, they said. The Cedric did not sight a ship from the time she left Liverpool, and the Fred. erick VIII passed only a sailing vessel while one day out from New York. Julius C. Lay, American Consw!-Gen- eral at Berlin, arrived on the Fredericir VIII. CHASE FOR ROOSTER LEADS TO FIGHT AND 3 ARRESTS A reoster intended for a Sunday stew escaped Saturday night from Charles Stewart of East St. Louis when ke was drinking with a friend in a ¢aloon at 1211 Biddle street and led him a long chase through streets and alleys to the home of John and Elizabeth Ikemeyer at 18134, Biddle street, where it darted into an open door. Stewart went in after the rooster. bit Ikemeyer claimed it was his propert; by reason of it having wandered into his premises. Ikemeyer accepted Stew- art’s invitation to fight it out in the Mrs. Ikemeyer. also took a hand in the fight, and with no one ‘eft to watch him, the rooster got away. After hearing the stories of the’ wit- nesses in police court, Judge Sanders said: “I'll fine that hen $5 and you two roosters, Stewart $10 and Ikemeyer $5. And hereafter, Stewart, see that you stew the rooster and don’t get ‘stewed’ yourself.”’ AVIATION EQUIPMENT IN MEMPHIS PHIS, Tenn., Feb. 6.—Eighty-five men, ¢° aeroplanes and all necessary equipment for the establishment of a United States army aviation experiment station at Memphis, arrived today from Chicago. The school will be maintained here for several months to enlist persons who may wish to become aviators in the army. The equipment arrived on a spe- cial train. Michigan Town Threatened by Fire. BRAINARD, Mich., Feb. 5.—Fire, be- lieved to have been started by an over- heated furnace, early today destroyed the Northern Pacific Railroad station here and threatened the entire business section. A heavy* wind fanned the flames. Telegraph wires were down and train service was temporarily suspended. ‘TO SEIZE VESSELS WARBOUND IN PORT Statement Says Such Action Would Be an Aggression Which Might Be Called Hostile. WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—Persistent re- ports of impending seizure of German freight and passenger ships, Wwar- bound in American’. ports, led to an authorized statement for the Gov- ernment that such a step is not even under consideration. It is pointed out that while port authorities will take necessary precautions to protect prop- erty and’*safeguard navigation, for the Government to seize these ships in American harbors as visitcrs under their own flag, would be an aggression which might be construed as hostile to Ger- many. Collectors of customs have been in- structed by the Treasury Department to be particularly careful in the present emergency and those at ports where the German ships are laid up have provided special guards about the vessels. To) meet the problem resulting from the members of the German crews desert- ing-and coming ashore, the Immigration Bureau is co-operating with the cus- toms officers. The sailors will be held pending a decision as to their disposi- tion. Preliminary reports to the War. De- partment on boarding of the four Ger- man ships at Cristobal yesterday by canal zone authorities indicate that the action was made necessary by infor- mation that an attempt was aBout to be made to sink the ships off the en- trance to the Panama Canal. Department officials said actual seizure of the ships was not contemplated. Crews of German Ships ta New York Must Stay Aboard. NEW YORK, Feb. 5.—Nearly 2000 of- ficers and men, remnants of the crews of the 25 German merchant ships which were laid up here at the beginning of the war, are virtually. prisoners today on board their vessels. The Federal au- thorities explained that the German sea- men were not forcibly detained, but simply requested to remain on their ships: Members of the crews, however, who returned from shore leave last night and today were notified that if they went aboard they would have to stay there, Collector Malone of the port ‘et it be knewn that his guérds were stationed to prevent the German sailors from vio- ating the immigration laws by desert- ing their ships and staying ashore with- out passing the customary immigrant’s inspection. Malone denied that the contemplated ‘“‘seizing’’ ships.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-—The American steamship, Housatonic, which was sunk by a Gerfhan submarine off the Scilly Islands, Saturday morning, was warned before she was sent to the bottom, and all her crew were served. More than that, especial solicitude for the safety of the crew was shown by the U-boat commander, for he not only gave the Housatonic’s company an hour in which to abandon their .vessel, but then towed their smal! boats for an hour and a half toward land, after which une fired sigrals that called to their apaipt- ance a British patrol vessel. The rules which Germany ceemalid President Wilson to obey, after the “Sussex note,” appear to have been car ried out explicitly. The crew of the Housatoni¢e has been landed at Penzance, England. John G, Stevens, American Consul at Plymouth sent the following telegram: “Total crew of 37 of Housatonic land- ed at Penzance Saturday. Vessel torpe- doed by a German submarine, 12:30 Sat- urday. Warned. Crew towed 9 min- utes by submarine toward land.” Stevens telegraphed today to Robert P. Skinner, American Consul-General. that the Housatonic was halted by a German submarine at noon and that, after being warned, the crew took to the boats, The Housatonic was then tor pedoed and sunk and the submarine towed the boats to a point’ off the En- glish coast. When hailed by the submarine the] Hougatonic was flying the American flag and had the American colors paint- ed on her side, says a dispatch to ‘the | Central News. The crew was given ah hour in which to leave the ship, the submarine commander saying: ; “TI have orders to sink every vessel coming to England,’’ The Germans searched the Housatonic and took a quantity of soap, which they said was difficult to obtain. The second mate of the Housatonic was second mate of the American steamer Gulflight when that vessel was attacked by a German submarine off the Scilly Islands early in the war. Housatonic Apparently in Same Cate- ry as That of the Frye. WASHINGTON, Feb. b.—As the Housatonic was carrying contraband, any controversy over her destruction is expected to present no more serious an issue than a claim for monetary dam- ages. The case apparently falls into tha same category as that of the American ship William P. Frye, destroyed with a cargo of grain early in the war by a raider after her crew had been taken off. ‘Consul Stevens’ report from Plymouth, England, said: “American steamer Housatonic, load- ed with a cargo of wheat for the Brit- ish Government, torpedoed by German submarine 12:3 Feb, 3. Vessel warned and total crew of 37 rescued by sub- marine and towed for 90 minutes to- wards land. Submarine fired a signal to British patrol boat, which subsequent- ly landed crew at Penzance.” — In some quarters the unusual precau- tions taken to insure a safe landing for the crew was taken to mean that international law and Germany’s sub- marine pledges would be observed mors scupulously than ever in the case of many vessels which were on the high sea as the time the new campaign of unrestricted warfare became effective Feb. 1. In her note announcing the campaign, Germany said immunity from the new measures of warfare would be extended tq all ships which had left their home ports before the efféctive date. There also was a suggestion that this regard for vessels already on their way to the war zone might preclude the possibility of any sefious develop- ment affccting American interests for a period of two weeks or more, and might make it impossible to determine for that period just how effective the German blockade campaign would be. ie Parnas ~~.

Fev. 5.—The note of protest which Brazil will dis- patch to Germany in answer tu her dec- larations of unrestricted submarine war has been completed, but will rot be sent wntil after an exchange of views be- tween some of the American Govern- ments.

The Havas News Agency has been au- thorized to declare that the Brazilian Government considers the German note gs a fact entirely new, necessitating the modification of the attitude of all neu- trals, in particular Brazil, whose nation- al policy, independently of all conti- Menta! considerations,. has ever been based on the most rigorous respect for signed conventions | Basis of Brazil's Response. ‘‘Aside from the new attitutude of the T’nited States, in so far as it is the un- questionable Jeader,”’ says the agency, “the Brazilian Government considers that the situation which is created for it by the German note, compared with the situation created for the United States presents simple differences of de- gree, but is identical in substance. These two considerations of national policy, fidelity to treaties and a continental pol- ica traditionally pan-American, will serve as a basis for Brazil's response to tne German note, the text or which wi) be definitely determined upon. “The American continental policy has not failed to impress strongly Dr. Lauro Muller, whose personal friendship for the United States is known, as is also the traditional friendship between Bra- “il and the United States, consecrated first in 1826 by the adhesion of Brazil to the Monroe Doctrine. Although practical acts do not appear as yet to have been contemplated, there is every reason to believe that the protest which will form the substance of Brazil's reply will em- body full approbation of the attitude of the United States.’’ Brazil Directly Touched. “Paiz’’ publishes an article today in- It says: “Up to the present the reserve of our chancellery has been justified by the Monroe Doctrine, our lack of military and economic preparation and the con- sideration “due the United States, upon which fails logically the role of leader in the continental policy. But today Brazil has been directly touched.’’ The paper continues: “In a conversa- tion today with Dr. Lauro Muller, we received the impfession that he is pro- foundly affected by the gravity of the situation created by the attitude of the United States, ard is disposed, in accord with the other South American repub- lics, to support the protest of the Wash- ington adrrinistration, whose action ought to be sustained by ail Govern- ments, in order that Europe may re- ecive the impression that this time it fs uot only the United States, but ai!

The best that can be said of Germany is that she has suc- ‘ceeded in qnaking the greatest blunder in the history of war and diplomacy.” The Diarce Illustrado says: It is cer- tain. that a profound crisis has been pro- voked by the removal of every restric- tion from.the activities of German sub- marines. Reasoned opinion in North America regards the German note as constituting a declaration of war.’’ The Valpariso Mercurio eails ‘the step of the seas and in defence ‘‘of those lib- erties disregarded by Germany.”’ The Mercuriu adds: ‘The rupture of relations means that a powerful coun- try demands that respect for interna- tional Jaw which should be accorded by every civilized nation.’ Japanese Papers Praise U. S. Stand; Say Quick Peace Is Imperative to ' Germany. TOKIO, Feb. 5.—The Japanese newspa- pers in their editorial corhment on the severance of diplomatic relations by the United States with Germany, compare Germany to a wild beast which has turned savagely against the whole world. which must unite to crush ‘her for the good of the world. Some of the news- papers express the belief that Germany's aim is to terrorize neutrals into an en- deavor to bring about a quick peace, which they cay is imeprative to her. They foresee the eptry, of the United States into the war for the sake of ‘honor and humanity.’’ The Nichi Nichi says a declaration of war by the United States “would be a noble coamtribution to’ world civilization and justice beside which Lincoln's war of jiberation would shrink into insignifi- cance.” Want work?

Sf, International Lecturer on Louis University Law School. HE purpose of President Wilson to 7 link the other neutral Powers of the world with the United States for the preservatio:. of neutral rights recalls strikingly two previous attempts of neutral Powers, more than a hundred years ago, to present solid fronts against desperate belligerents. In each of these two instances leagues were formed under the leadership of Russia. The first occurred in 1780, during the war between Great_Aritain, her Amer- ican colonies, vhcot and Spain. The unregulated actions of privateers and the seizure and destruction of neutral as well as enemy ships’and goods without regard to law, created a condition not unlike that in which neutrals find them- selves today. In this situation Russia sent notes to England, France, and Spain, in which she set out the following five principles, declaring she would insist upon them as rules of maritime warfare with respect to her subjects and their property: That neutral vessels shall be allowed to navigate from port to port of belliger- ents and along their coasts; that enemy goods on neutral vessels, contraband ex- cepted, should not be seized; that only munitions and sulphur shall be consid- ered contraband; that a port should be considered legally blockaded only if the blockading belligerent maintained off such port a sufficient number of ves- sels to create obvious danger in enter- ing such port, and that these principles ‘hall govern in the proceedings and judgments on the legality of prizes. In August of that year Russia induced Denmark and Sweden to join with her in equipping a number of warships for the purpose of enforcing these princi- ples. In 1781 the Netherlands, Prussia and Austria joined the league, and in 1782 Portugal, and in 1783 the two Sicilies. France, Spain and the United States accepted the principles of the league — _ — ee BATHE INTERNALLY OVER 500,000 PEOPLE ARE NOW DOING SO.. For many years physicians have agreed that the vast majority of human fils were causéd by accumulated waste in the lower Intestine: that in our present way of living Nature could not remove all this waste without assistance. no matter how regular we might be. and that the, poison from this waste circu- lated through the blood pulled us awa, down below par and was responsible for many diseases of a serious nature. During this time the “J. B. T.. Cas- cade" for Internal Bathing has, because of their recommendation and those of its users, been steadily growing in favor. Recently, however, the startling news which has been covering this countrv that great surgeons and specialiaia, have been operating on the Lower Intestine for the most. chronic and serious dis- eases has Caused Americans to become thoroughly awake to the importance of keeping this Lower Intestine free from all poisonous waste io assists her. see. it: at.

Second Lefizguc of Neutrals. ly view of the superiority of the Brit- ish fleet none of these objects was oc- complished immediately, although they ultimately became the basis of the ex- isting’ rules of maritime warfare: estab- lished by the declaration of Paris of 1866. The second league of neutrals, formed at the instigation of Russia in 1800, at- tempted to secure protection against the ‘lawless maritime operations that char- acterized the Napoleonic wars.° It was composed of Russia, Sweden, Denmark and Prussia, who readopted the princi- ples of the first league of 1780, adding a further stipulation to the effect that bel- ligerents should rot havea right to visit and search neutral vessels under the convoy of a neutral warship in case the commanding officer of the warship should declare that the convoyed vessels did not carry contraband. Denmark made a more.courageous effort to en- force these principles than any of the other members of the league. In one instance a Danish frigate in. charge of six merchant vessels refused to submit to search upon meeting six British cruis- ers, and was overpowered and captured in a short action, the convoy being car- ‘ried to a British port as a prize. Had Less Suecess Than First, Even less success attended the second league toward the vindication of neu- tral rights than had been accomplished by the first. These leagues are known to history respectively as the First and Second Armed Neutralities. Although they re- sorted to violence to preserve their neu- tral rights, a state of war was not con- sidered to have existed by reason of that fact. ?

At either end of the horizonial strea. was a spot of light. fainter in illumi- ration than the moon, but resembling it in general conformation.

This phenomenon was repeated, more brilliant effect when the sun came visible, shortly after 7 a. m., Like the moon, the sun also was in the center of a cross, and on either side, at a distance of about three de. grees, was a counterfeit sun, or “dog” The Rev.

He said they were caused by the refraction and reflection of light by gmiall particles of ice in the air. illusion Is Explained. “The illusion of a cross,” he said, ‘was the same as when you set a can- dle in front of a mirror, or look at a candle through a piece of wire screen. The ‘‘dogs’’ are caused by rerlection from ice particles on either side of the sur or moon. At the beginning of this phenomenon there apparently is a ring around the sun or moon, but because of the angle at which we view it from the earth thie illumination at the outer edges of this ring seeme most intefflse, giving the ta'se inipression of two extra suns or moons.”’ with be- COUPLE WHO WERE DIVORCED LAST JULY PLAN TO REMARRY Frank Fleischhacker and his former wife, Mary, who have been principals in much litigation since she obtained a divorce last July are preparing to re- marry, according to an announcement made today by Devereaux Henderson, her attorney. : The Fleischhackers formerly’ lived at 4600 Varrelman avenue, where he had a grocery and meat market.

At the outbreak of the war, we must put every fighting ship in commission and man every merchant vessel which can steam fast and carry a gun.

FOR RUN-DOWN PEOPLE _The eondition of being ‘‘ run-down ”’ is vne that doctors do not recognize as a disease; the physician of today who gets his training in a hospital where severe disorders tte are encountered knows little about it. But those who are run-down in health know that it is not a fancied affliction. The expression ‘‘run-down’’ comes from the feeble action of an unwound clock, and the camparison is a good one. Applied to health it means a condition in which all the bodily fune- tions are enfeebled. Appetite fails, the digestion is ¢mpaired, the nerves are snpoverished, the complexion be- comes pale, there is no animation but rather worry and mental depression. Fatigue is a constant symptom. No particular organ being affected vou must look for relief to the blood that circulates everywhere. ment in the blood is quickly felt throughout+the entire system and Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are the best and most convenient blood builders.

LONDON EDITORIAL VIEWS ON BREAK WITH GERMANY in ‘“Measureless Importance History of Mankind,” Says the Times. ' LONDON, Feb. i.—‘‘The act of Pres- ident Wilson is an event of measure- less importance in the history of man- kind,” says the. Times today. ‘‘For the first time since it became a great Power the United States has directly inter- vened in a European war. * ° A course pregnant with untold results hereafter.” Discussing the possibilits Times says: . ‘Whether the of war, the American people wil! be forced to draw the sword now lies ‘in the hands of Germany. If Germany does not draw back, the armed inter- vention of America becomes certain.’’ The Daily Telegraph says: ‘‘The action forced upon Washington is a long step in the direction of war. The remaining steps may never be taken, but it is suf- ficiently clear that both the Govern- ment and the people of the United States are ready to take them if the defense of their rights demands it.”’ The paper believes that ‘‘this last effect of criminal desperation will has- ten the finish of Germany’’ and adds: ‘‘Mankind averts its face from Germany and her wretched accomplices. Their growing populations are now to feel that in all the world they have nc friend remaining, no powerful peace- maker upon whom to look for sympathy and help. Advantage for Allies. The Daily News sees only a slender prospect that war between the United States and Germany will be averted and believes that, if it comes, substantial advantages for the allies will immedi- ately accrue. It points out these in de- tail and adds that, if the United States contributes only ships and money her intervention would be neceosatily of great effect. It would, says the paper, zo far to convince Germany. that her case is hopeless and would 60 increase the predominance of the allies as t« bring peace substantially nearer.”’ “President Wilson’s decision, which vas both just and courageous,’ says the Morning Post, ‘‘will put new spirit irto the hearts and minds of the lesser reutral nations, which for ‘wo years have suffered the most* atrocious in juries ever done by one country to an- other at sea since the Barbary. Cor- sairs. * * * We are entitled to con- gratulate ourselves that the truth of what we constantly affirmed respectin: the character and aims of the German Government has now received the in- dorsement of a great and friendly na- tion. The American spirit of pride, jus- tice and independence has again proved itself.’’ What Will Happen. The Daily Chronicle, after. contend- ing that President Wilson could not have acted otherwise without abdicat- ing the position he took last April, says: ‘"There seems to be no present proba- tility that Germany will hold out her hand in order to preserve seace with the United States. The Chancellor’s speech points all the other way. The question of interest, therefore, is not so much whether America wii] join in the war, but what wiil happen when she Coes.”’ This newspaper speculates prokability of South American support. It thinks the adhesion of the South American states would prove valuable, as it would make it more difficult for Germany to maintain a submarine cam- paign on the other side.of the Atlan- tic. The paper is inclired to think, how- eyer, that, if the United States and other neutrals enter the war, Germany is likely to try to “make Belgiums of her neutral neighbors in Europe.” The Daily Mail remarks the pa- fience with which President Wilson has acted throughout the controversy. Ti says his patience was that of a man who was inflexibly determined to pur- Sue a course he knew was right The newspaper adds that Americans wili now see, however, that his patiencs has only encouraged ‘Prussian arro- gance. on the . Welcome Moral Support. The allies,’’ says the Daily Mail, “frankly are glad to have the moral support and sympathy of the United States. We have been fighting for two and a half years for what we know to be right. We are glad the Americans know it, too, but we also know it is our war and that we, by our own ef- forts, must win it. A hard Struggle lies ahead. The serious question is wheth- er the new British army can defeat th-= old German army before the new Ger-~ man navy is under the control of the old British navy. On the answer of this question depend the fate, freedom and destiny of the world, for the Unite States is no more ready for war than we were in August, 1914, and its inter- vention can. hardly be made effective in time for this year’s campaign.”’ The President’s action was referred to in many pulpits, the Bishup of Lon- don and other prominent divines ap- plauding the American decisivn. The Manchester Guardian believes tha: President Wilson has already received assurances that other exreat neutral Powers will follow the lead of :1:2 Unit- ed States. ‘‘The United States,”’ Says the Guardian, “takes her fitting place today as the greatest of the neutral Powers and tieir leader. ‘I tuke it for Sranted,” said President Wilson. ‘that all neutrals will take the same course ° He would’ hardly have made such a Statement without authority. [Ir other Powers, notably, we suppose, practica)- ly the whole of the Powers or Soutn America, should join the United States in, this step there is a strong probabil- ity that they also will join in tte- ‘next and decisive one of entering siie by sido into the war.’’ Six of Family of Seven D PHILADELPHTA Feb.

We was speaking on the League to @nforce Peace. Until now, he said, conscription has been of “doubtful expediency,’’ because popular opposition might have halted all plans for reasonable preparedness. ‘Now that the war is on us, however,” he continued, ‘‘now that the people sec the necessity, why should we not take advantage of this state of public mind and do what justice and real democ- racy require?’ A wholly volunteer system, he said. takes the “flower of the country’s youth te sacrifice themselves, and leaves be hind those who can only be dragged in by ultimate resort to law.”’ Advocates Year’s Service. “Why not equalize the burden at once?” he asked. ‘Place it on all. Re quire at least a year’s service with the colors from every man between 19 and 24. This need not interfere with capabie men under 4. Such conscription wouid furnish a permanent trained force from the body of the entire people to supply an adequate defense whenever defense is necessary.”’ In opening his remarks on conscrip- tion, which were in the nature of a preface to his prepared address on the League to Enforce Peace, Taft said he kad been asked to talk on constructive peace. “Is this topic out of place when this country faces war as it does tcday?’” he said. “I do not think so. While all de- Flore our being forced into war and ap- preciate the sacrifices and the suffering it will entail, we should make its hard necessities a reason for wise action, leoking not only to the immediate exi- gency of the war itself, but also to our future policy as a country and the fu- ture welfare of the world.”’ The present situation, he sald, should Bathus C. Quarles, 32 years old, a res- taurant keeper at 821 North Jefferson avenue, went yesterday morning to in- quire about his wife, from whom he is separated, at a disorderly house con- ducted by Mrs. Edna Wones, a widow, at 2940A Lucas avenue. He was shot dead by Patrolman Benjamin 1. Drum- right of the Carondelet Districf, 2 fre- quenter of the place. Quarles and his wife formerly lived in the flat undcr- neath. At 10:80 o'clock Drumright telpphoned to the Dayton Street Station that he had killed a man, and gave directions, where policemen should be sent. They found him in his bathrobe on the stairs leading up to Mrs. Wones’ flat, and at the bottom of the stairs lay Quarles’ body. The policeman surrendered, two revolvers, one his own, and the other, he gaid, he had taken from Quarles. Three shots had been fired from each weapon. Drumright displayed a bullet- hole in his bathrobe and a grazing wound on his side, where he said Quarles shot him. After being suspended by Capt. Sin- gleton, Drumright was required to make a written report of the affair. He said he was 36 years old, unmarried, and lived at 4324 Delmar boulevard. During the last year, he related, he paid fre- quent visits to Mrs. Wones, and Satur- day night, after being relieved from duty, went to her rooms. ' He was in the bathroom, Sunday morning, he said, when he heard a noise downstairs, and looking out, saw Mrs. Wones struggling with Quarles, who held a revolver. He called to Quarles to get out, and Quarles shot at him, he said. Drumright went into the front room, got his revolver and opened fire. His first bullet missed, but the sec- ond. struck Quarles in the thigh. The latter then fired two shots, one scratch- ing the policeman’s right side.

Mrs. Wones was arrested, and at first said she telephoned Drumright at his home yesterday morning to come quick- ly and protect her against an intruder. Later she admitted that the policeman spent the night at her house, and that she gave the first version to shield him. She is 89 years old.

MAN BLIND FOR 20 YEARS SEES HIS FIRST AUTOMOBILE SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb, 5.— George van Buskirk, 75 years old, a veteran of the Civil War and blind for more than 20 years, saw in this city the othér day for the first time a telephone, an automobile, a motion picture show, a wireless telegraph_station and an air- ship. - Van Buskirk now is back in Marys- ville, Cal., where he has lived for more than 50 years, and is putting in his days walking around the town he helped to build and viewing the landmarks. There was a short item ina newspaper one day of an old man Who had had his eyesight restored through an operation. That gave van Buskirk hope, and he came to San Francisco an? had the operation performed on his eyes, é He now wears thick glasses, but he can see. On his return home he saw for the first time four grandchildrén, the children of sons and daughters who were babies when he last saw them. Se ee Se. Louis Lunchroom teach the absolute necessity for military preparedness for self-protection. We have no desire, he said, for difficul- ties with Germany and have done her no wrong, “‘yet she, in violation of our rights, proposes to do that which, if we value our honor and our vital interests, we must resist by force.”’ There is noth- ing else for a self-respecting nation of moral principle to do, he declared. “What would be our situation today if the English navy were not between us and Germany?” he went on. “Can we afford to rely on the protection of another nation always? Would we wish to do so? We eught not to make this a temporary matter. We ought to adopt measures to make us independent.’’ Another lesson of the Situation, he said, is that general European war is certain to involve us, and that for avoiding war an international police must be organized of which the United States must prepare to assume a just share of the burdens.

Myers, National Coaventions Secretary of the Associated Advertising Clubs, printed in the February number of the St. Louisan. the official organ of the Conventions and Publicity Bureau of the Bt. Louis Chat- ber of Commerce. The Associated Advertising Clubs, the writer says, comprise 175 affiliated bedies, located throughout the United States, Canada, Cuba, Hawaiian Islands and Australia, and he estimates that 7000 to 10,000 persons directly connected | with the advertising clubs will be | brought to St. Louis, not counting other visitors attracted by the convention. The work of arranging for the convention has been undertaken by the Advertising Club of St. Louis.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I think it would be a great help to the poor if the Government would publish a retail price list @n groceries and meats at least once a week, or Sime way so the public would know just what they should get for 5 or 10 cents and up. As it the pub.ic is at the mercy of the grocer and butcher. I know from my own expérience and I ‘fmm pretty well acquainted on prices. I Know that I am being buncoed out of 2 and 4 cents on “Package goods, also on weighable stuff, but how can you prove it or what could you do if you did? READER. Teachers’ College Requirements. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. T am unable to understand why a girl who has been satisfactorily graduated from a public high school may not enter the Teachers’ College if she wishes without taking examination. At present the rule is that only the girls graduating in the upper two-thirds of the class may enter; unless they make high grades in several entrance exam- inations covering the entire ~four years’ high school course. This would not te so bad if these minations were anything reasonabie. But ey are purposely made absurdly and impossibly fficult, and are invariably failed on. The girls the upper two-thirds would fail on them just “as surely as those who have to pass them. There ‘are SO many causes—sickness, absence, etc.—that would prevent a girl from graduating in the up- per two-thirds of her class that would not in any way impair her success as a teacher. The very fact that she has been graduated from the high school says that she has done the four years’ work satisfactorily. Then why not let her enter the college, and if she cannot do the work there, weed her out then? Give her a chance. Her work may be excellent when she has the motive of preparing for a profession. There would seem to be some reason for this rule, if the college were overcrowded. But it is practically empty. ~ Even the system of ‘elimination is all wrong. If they must have a standard it should be per- centages. Every half year it happens that girls With averages of 76 and 77 will be refused admit- tance from one high school, not being in the up- per two-thirds, whereas those with 65 from an- other school were admitted. Then there is the matter, of “flunkers.” In the high schools a pupil who fails in any subject and reviews that Bubject the next term, is credited with the grades for the semester’s work, which he makes when he is reviewing. On this account ‘a _ girl who never fails may come out with lower grades than one who repeatedly fails. Many a parent makes sacrifices to send her girl through high sthool, just with the idea of hav- ing them teach. Everybody, even people not per- sonally interested, say that this ruling is arbi- Srary and unjust. The faculty of the Teachers’ College owes the public -n explanation. A WIDOW.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I see that there is a league or society working hard to get the people of the United States to follow the silly plan of turning up the clocks one hour, as they are doing in Europe. Why can't people get up.an hour earlier without changing the clock? Let the employers make a rule that all their employes get down to work one hour . eariier every morning and quit one hour sooner | eyery evening. It won't be iscegte | to turn clocks up. They will get there, JEFF, A LEAGUE OF NEUTRALS. In the shadow of war President Wilson, evideht, keeps in view the league to enforce peace on a basis of justice and liberty. In the note to neutrals Mr. Wilson not only re- it is fers to the peace address, but suggests that neu- trals join with the United States in resisting the insupportable submarine warfare of Germany. He declares this action in accord with the princi- ples of his peace proposal. . With harmonious action by all neutrals against ‘Germany’s barbaric violation of sea rights and the rules of humanity, there would be in existence law and justice If Germany a practical league to enforce wielding immense moral influence. proceeds to extremities the league of neutrals would be impelled to add physical resistance to moral force. The joint protest of neutral nations against the war methods of the German allies would be a potent factor towards German defeat. The Ger- man people would soon feel this mora! condemna- tion—their fsolation from the sympathy, com- munication and co-operation of the world—so acutely that the will and energy of the Govern- ment would inevitably under the strain. This moral weight, Bismarck once remarked, exceeds the weight of material forces. weaken and wither Of course, the moral combination of neutrals would have material effects. It would supple- ment the British blockade by a practical em- bargo, extending to every form of trade, or aid in commerce and finance. If to this weight were added physical force the swift defeat of German alliance would be as- sured. Germany, regardless of her military re- sources, her superb organization, her energy and endurance, with only Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey on her side, would be helpless against such a world combination. The President’s action, makes for ending the war, but it moves towards a league of nations to enforce just peace and preserve the fruits of civilization. The war would close with a union of nations joined to prevent lawless warfare and to enforce justice and lib- erty. It would have a voice in the peace set- tlement and we believe that the war-exhausted belligerents would listen to the appeal of reason. therefore, not only Between this vision of the victory of peace principles and the present realities lies the pos- sibility of an arduous task calling for all our resources and energies. We must not deceive ourselves. We must prepare for whatever work may be laid upon us by the consequences of-our action. We must speed up ship building and increase the naval program. We must make effective pro- vision for land forces. An act providing for the training of all citizens of military age should be passed. Adequate equipment, arms and munitions must be supplied. No precautions to guard the national safety and attain our national objects in the possible world conflict which confronts us should be neglected. —————_-o@ © = THE GRAND JURY'S DEFENSE. The December grand jury’s defense of its act in holding secret meetings with lawyer-politicians in connection with its election frauds investiga- tidn is couched in the language of dignified re- sentmeént, but it is scarcely complete. The jurors affirm what nobody in St. Louis doubted, that they were trying to be useful and to do their full duty by the public. Nevertheless they committed a blunder and good intentions do not always miti- gate the consequences of a blunder. “We could accomplish little by shutting our- selves up in the grand jury room and waiting for evidence to come to us,” their report says. One passes over the obvious retort that grand juries have been accomplishing things for a good many years without going ‘outside of their lawful re- straints. The important thing to ask is whether the jurors hoped to find better guidance in the counsel of men with a direct interest in the out- come of the investigation than they would find in the advice of public servants whose sworn duty it was to guide them. If so, it must have been because they believed the Courts and the Circuit Attorney either incompetent or unwilling to han- die the inquiry properly. The explanation seems to leave the matter in worse shape than it was before. It either says too much or else not half enough. This appears to be something on which the public might fairly demand further enlightenment. a &.& re MEXICO’S NEW CONSTITUTION. If American or British radicals were to draft a new Constitution for a country controlled by them they would produce a document resembling in many respects that which has just received the approval of the convention at Queretaro. The basic principle of the law, that Mexico is to be reserved for Mexicans, with all its ramifica- tions in relation to ownership and use of public lands and natural resources and oportunities for employment, has found expression at one time or another in the polity of various American states. Eight hours are to constitute a day’s work and there is to be compulsory arbitration of labor disputes. In the administration of criminal justice all court costs are abolished. Politically, the most important provision is that which relates to the presidency. There is to be no Vice President and no other designated suc- cessor to the President. When for any reason there is a vacancy in the chief magistracy, Con- gress alone is empowered to act, pending an elec- tion. Recent events such as the elevation of Huerta by assassination and enforced resigna- tions, by which he gained a color of title to the presidency, explain this departure. Excepting some narrow enactments which will ‘inevitably be modified after the heat of the revo- ‘lution has subsided in some degree, the summary. of the Constitution received here vindicates the, for the correction of conQision in many minds. | 4 ) judgment of such Americans as have held with | President Wilson that the Mexican people were working out their problems and were in the way of progress. They have come thus far through creat suffering, and, if the memory of the price that they have paid for liberty survives, they are only at the beginning of their advancement. —— 90 o——— WILSON’S SECOND INAUGURATION, The abandonment one month from today of the usual inauguration ceremonies is suggested at Washington. The reason assigned for this unprecedented course is the crisis which by that time may have brought us to war. But at a critical stage of a former war with fighting much nearer to Wash- ington than fighting is likely to get during any war with a European Power, no suggestion was made that Lincoln should have an unceremoni- ous induction to office simply because he was al- ready President and a second inauguration would duplicate the first. He was sworn in with the old customs and made a speech that will be remem- bered longer than many of the military operations that then overshadowed it. Svents may render it fitting to surround Mr. Wilson’s second inauguration with even more of ceremonial than is usual. A great outpouring of the people on such an occasion might express the unity and patriotic purpose of the country as it could be expressed in no other way. ‘‘GOING STRAIGHT.’’ That was a revolutionary thing Senator Kes- singer did in the Illinois Legislature the other day. He introduced a bill that said what it meant and stopped. Its language was so plain and simple that anybody, even a lawyer, should have been able to understand it. It was so plain that it perplexed a learned Sen- ator who was accustomed to bills with a fine lot of involutions and convolutions. He demanded an explanation. The bill was being read and when the clerk got to “going straight’ the Honorable Senator from Peoria. arose to inquire just what the Honorable Senator from Aurora meant by that. Senator Kes- singer said “going straight” meant going straight, and he had put it in that way so that anybody going straight would understand and not err therein. The Peoria Senator made no further objection, but he looked worried. It seemed to him fhat_ there must be something crooked about a thing that went as straight as that. Now, if Senator Kessinger had made the bill say “starting from one point and proceeding by the shortest and most direct and least circuitous route. and the shortest distance to another point then and there located in a given direction from the first point, in the manner and form aforesaid, according to law in such case made and provided,’ he would have known what to make of it because that is the usual senatorial version of ‘‘going straight.” hn Li Li» rere OUR DIFFERING PASTORS. Americans who have been groping for some explanation of what is to them the inconipre-, tensible inability of Germany’s rulers to under- stand public opinion in this country, may find a little light in two speeches made Friday night. One of them was vy Mr. Bryan, thrice candidate for the presidency and once Secretary of State, and the other was by Mr. Taft, once President. Said Mr. Bryan: If any nation challenged us (to war) this would be the answer this country should give: No: we have the welfare of 100,000,000 people to guard; priceless ideals to preserve and we will not wallow with you in a mire of blood to conforan to a false standard. Said Mr. Taft: She (Germany) may not know the spirit of the good-natured, tolerant, war-hating giant she now challenges. She may overestimate, as she has done before, in the case of other na- tions, the influence of sordid motives, of the inertia of, comfort and of dissentient ele- ments among us, which she may expect to paralyze our action. She may stir an active patriotism in our people which she does not suspect. She may shock us into a real prepar- ation for war and the sacrifice it involves as nothing else might. Germany may have been misled by the fact that the Bryans of the United States are more vo- ciferous than the Tafts. She may not know that while we Americans flock to the tent meetings of our pulpit-pounding evangelists, we draw our real spiritual nourishment from more hard-head- ed, sensible pastors. —_—— _ Ot THE HOUSATONIC OBJECT LESSON. The specific case of the Housatonic illuminates the American attitude on the whole issue. She .was overtaken in one of the arbitrarily detined war zones of European waters. She was carrying grain, contraband only when destined for the maintenance of military forces. Had she been bound for Germany and been seized by an entente ship, she would have been taken into port. Every right to which her own- ers and the flag under which she sailed are en- titled would have had adjudication. No irrevo- cable invasion of such immunities as she may have had would have taken place. She would have had her’day in court with deliberate con- sideration of_those delicate questions of contra- band over which the world has been in dispute for years. Captured by Germans her status was summarily disposed of by naval oficers in peril of attack and the hazards of the sea. The contrast between the entente policy, which is the established naval | policy, and the German policy is striking. It is not because of this contrast, however, that the grave issue between Washington and Berlin has arisen. But one question and one alone made the case an occasion for deep suspense for 24 hours. Did Germany in destroying her destroy also lives which Germany had no right to take? The matter which has brought the two coun- tries to the verge of war is not a matter of legal or illegal delimitations of war zones or effective or ineffective blockades or the sinking of ships or any of the other controversies which have provoked grave crises in prior naval wars. It is matter of protecting human lives entitled to protection. The moment it was ascertained that the U-boat’s officers observed the prescribed pre- cautions, showing, indeed, a splendid forbearance, all cause of anxiety over the Housatonic ceased. The distinctions in the case are worth pointing Thus early after the break in relations an object lesson summing up the whole issue is given : out, ST.

If the country is called upon to act as a nation, nobody is going to fall short of his duty. That is not, however, enough to make us all feel alike about what has happened, nor does it give us all quite the same point of view. When wo fought our wars with England, we were fairly agreed for be- ing mostly English ourselves, There were, too..2 good many Tories, the torment and sandbagging of whom at once relieved tension and furnished what may be said to have been the recreative side of those wars. ‘‘T remember reading how the Tories of Connecti- cut were treated during the Revolution.

Whoen the enemy did not serve the purposes of excess patriotism, there were always the Tories. ‘‘There was more difficulty during the war with the South. A great many people in both sections of the country sympathized tenderly with the other side, and it was not always possible to be tender of that tenderness. ‘‘The people who traces their descent back to conn- tries with whom we now disagres have tender feel- ings, and we must respect them.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.—Overhauling the rules of baseball to make it harder for the pitcher and more of a joyride to the boys who wield the ash has always been_a favorite winter pastime, but this year the powers that be appear to be te = 3 é 4 == intent upon really turning out a new “ ; | : model. More than intent is necessary, but certaic faults in the structyre of the game have become so generafly obvious that the Rules Committee, meeting here within the next fortnight, has taken the suggestions scriously. - There have been but few changes in the rules of baseball since it first began, and that is an excellent indication thet the fundamental principles were correct. For instance, the first body of men who fixed the distance between the. bases at 90 feet did a. perfect job. Had they made it a foot shorter the batters would have had a cinch, and if it had been lengthened that distance the pitchers would have been supreme. There is now a suggestion by Percy Haughton to shorten that distance The first big change in the rules was moving the pitcher back further 30 15 to encourage more hitting. But just as rapidly as they move the pitcher back; the more he strives to master the new handicap, and he has gradually succeed- : a one oe. pw. eget sso igee ee or man Looks like the ground hog is set for a All his work is centered in one mind,|Danner season, |. while theirs is scattered. One More Handicap. a The. next. innovation was. the foul- strike rule, which turned into a big ad- vantage for the pitcher, though it was originally intended as a method of short- rening the game. in fact, every move for improvement in baséball has been to the advantage of the pitcher and to the detriment of ae pace ie a — the “agatha ave graau y grown into suc mas- ; havin more. wi and tery of the situation that batting hus agg A justly ae Aes Johnny Coulon, the ex-bantam fallen off at an alarming rate.

Before announcing his tomayo cad, ” ° ° plan Herzog calls attention to the in- ustice of calling strikes on very ard hit line drives that fall foul by inches. To all inients and pur- poses those are real scientific hits, and the fact that luck causes them to fall foul should not act upon the batter as a penalty. In other words, he is being severely punished for jreally doing scientific work. Herzoz fuggests, therefore, that A Zone be described along the fence and between first and the ground limits. This zone should be at least 10 feet in width, and any ball hit therein is not to be called a foul.. At the same By W. J. O’Connor. Betting in the winter baseball “books” has been very light this year, due almost entirely to the~fact that threatened players’ strike has distracted even the most rabid rooters; but one wager has been made which is interesting, even ‘though it isn’t indicative of anything in particular.

Ball plugs the ‘hole at third base. If he does, my bet is ‘in.’ All the Browns need is to forge another strong link in their inner chain of defense and they will be up there fighting. I don’t figure the Red Sox under a new man- ager better than fourth, and I can't see any team managed by Bill Donovan be- ing a factor in a race such as the Amer- ican League promises to develop. Only Three in the Race. “T like either Chicago, Detroit or the Browns for the pennant. If Jennings gets a good pitcher, and I believe he has him in Emhke, he will be hard to beat. The White Sox are inherently’ the strongest club in the league, but I be- lieve ey will get another bad ride. Rowland is an apprentice and we've got to make allowances, but the Browns have a seasoned old jockey in Jones and if he is given a good third sacker and any kind of a right-handed hitter, even for pinch duty, he'll ride ’em ragged.” Last year the Browns were 20 to 1 for the pennant and 3 to 1 for fourth place in the winter book. This bet of even money that they finish third is, there- fore, a little out of line, but it is on rec- ord and can be taken for what it’s worth. Browns Glad Chill Is Gone. The announcement from Ban John- son’s office that Unipire Ollie Chill has been fired ard George Moriarty substi- tuted is news rclished by every member of the Brown club. It ign’t, however, a question of wishing Chill bad luck. The Browns would, individually and sever- ally, like to see Chill whipsaw the fe- verish market for a million-dollar gain. They hope, moreover, that he has all the necessities of life and even a few lux- uries, such as an occasional egg or a rasher of bacon, but they never hope to see Chill handling the indicator in the American League again. Last year Chill and the Browns had many a run-in. He missed a play in Washington one day that caus the Browns to lose a game they had won We was looking for a play on the runner at first when Lavan, after fumbling, snapped the ball to Austin, trapping Williams off third by a full 10 feet, but Chill not only refused to listen to rea- son, but made matters worse by ban- ishing Jones and Severeld from the box score. That game came late in Au- gust, and hurt, too. ° But that was by no means the worst. In the midst of their great drive, the Browns met and defeated the Cleveland club at Sportsman’s Park on Aue. 12, a Saturday. In that game Bobby Roth hurled a ball or a bottle or sométhing “- {nto the right-field bleachers, beanins A spectator.

Some of them pre- ferred ease or fleshpots; others re- uiembered and put the inheritance into their lives and profited thereby. Gran’ther never got anywhere him- self. As a young man he had been stricken with blindness and not many vears later his hair turned white. In ‘be darkness that followed his fingers acquired skill in fiddle making and his mind stored up wisdom and for- bearance. His gentleness and infirmity vrought certain of his daughters and granddaughters very close to him. ‘Tavia was one, as had been her mother before her. When "Tavia lef: the cabin for housework in town she treasured Gran’ther’s words as she did her Bible. in the cabin had been no books and tn. the mountain no schools, but the companionship of Gran'ther in the one and the vigor of the other had given "Tavia the solid foundation of desire and determination. She was ready to gather up crumbs from the scHool children of the first house she went into. Her eyes and ears kept “peeled” for the things she now real- ige@ must be hers in order to “get anywhere.” This soon took her beyond the sim- ple duties of chore gir), as her own mistress pointed out, and she went irte a faskionable home where it was not so pleasant, but offered new op- portunities to observe. Tn the many changes between town and seashore and mountains, this home wes accustomed to take on servants frequently. “Tavia’s beauty and air and desire to please kept her much longer then usual, but in the end she went for the very reason that had been seeping her. One of the daughters de- clared they couldn't have a waiting maid in the house whom visitors mis- took for the mistress. 5 Next "Tavia went to the home of a ma haa | Tea , ahs eollege professor, where she remained » ie . ; mae mh / Ge ~ ee chi} { Ni if two years, until he died. 4 . , ay a" Seu, She was then 16, nice to look at, but far more with a personality that at- tracted and he * * ee > % .
