BERLIN STILL DOUBTFUL Time of Release of Americans Apparently Depends Upon Speed of Swiss Diplomats. By CYRIL BROWN Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and New York World. (Copyrighted 1017. by Press Pub. Co.) BERLIN, Feb. 15, by wireless to Say- ville—While the Yarrowdale case is still unsettled, the prospects seem at least fair for a speedy and happy solu- tion. The official procrastination re- garding the release of the Yarrowdale ‘prisoners appears to have been due en- tirely to misleading news reports from America that German sailors had been taken from interned ships and were be- ing held virtually as prisoners. R Denials have been received since, both by wireless and by cable, but, while no great amount of credence is attached to the earlier sensational re- ports, some doubts that the Imperial Government considers as not unreason- able still are harbored in official quar- ters. Wheat now is wanted is official and definite information to the effect that German sailors are not being held in America. Waiting Statement From America. “T give you my personal word of honor that the American Yarrowdale prisoners will be released at once, 80 goon as we have positive assurance that no German sailors are held in confine- ment.”’ ‘This statement was made to ime by Secretary Zimmermann at an informal midnight conference in the lobby of the Hotel Adlon. latter the Kaiser's daughter,, who are staying for a few days at the hotel, and with whom the Secretary had. ust dined. While not presuming to arrogate even pseudo-diplomatic functions to the a!- ready delicate job of war corresponding in Germany after the break of relations. I tried to interest Dr. Zimmerman per- gonally in the speedy release of the 72 American Yarrowdale prisoners, if only as possible serving to eliminate at least one inflammable factor from the present situation. I pointed out that the personal liberty issue, traditionally dear to the American heart, is involved in the Yarrowdale case, and that a painful impression would be certain to be created by the revocation of the earlier promise of re- lease on subsequently proved false re- ports of similar treatment of German sailors in America. Considered German Public Opinion. Dr. Zimmermann,, who took these per- sonal representations broadmindedly and in good part, indicated that he could not have acted otherwise than to order the holding of the Americans on the Yar- rowdale until the clarity of the situa- tion had been established, as he, too, had a public opinion to consider, and that German public opinion certainly would have been aroused, if the Amer- feans had been released, and it subse- quently had turned out that German Sailors were being held in confinement. Dr. Zimmermann, who showed great interest in the Yarrowdale case, in con- clusion again pledged his personal word of honor to me that their release should be immediate, on receipt of the desired information. At the Foreign Office I learned that the good offices of the Swiss Govera- ment and its diplomatic channels had been invoked to ascertain whether any German sailors were being held in con- finement. The settlement of the Tarrowdale case thus should depend, in the first line, on the speed with which the Swiss do business. Status of Assestenne in Doubt. The status of the handful of Ameri- sans here will probably continue to re- main doubtful until the assurance comes4 from Washington that the treaty with Prussia will be kept in good faith in the event of war, and possibly until the pro- posed amendments are accepted. It is not literally correct, therefore, to jump to the conclusion that the few Americans here are being held, or even considered as possible hostages. To the isolated applicants for permission to leave the authorities express the sin- cere hope that, America will keep the ancient treaty, in which case Germany will virtually do so, while imposing po- litely technical difficulties to the few marooned business and professional men who want to get away quickly, and point. out that the process will take anywhere from 10 days to two weeks. Courteous treatment continues to be shown and these marking time are made to feel that there is not the slightest Cause for worry. The following official notice has been issued: “From abroad reports heve latterly) come, according to which it is believed that the sea barrier of submarines and mines against England had been weak- ened or is to be relaxed out of consid- eration for America or for other rea- is now on in full and that under |FAIR-WEATHER, WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE THE TEMPERATURES. lan 3 — | High, 40, at 2 * m.3 low, 24, at 7 a. m. — — Official fore- cast for St. Louis | and vicinity: Gen. erally fair weath- er tonight and tomorrow; not much change in temperature.

LOUIS Af $32,000 PROFIT IN TWO WEEKS He Recently Purchased 6250 Sacks of Them, and Price Jumps From $5 to $10. Red onions and foresight have netted James W. Dacey of Dacey & Co., com- mission merchants, at 1209 North Broad- way, a small fortune within the last two weeks. Several weeks ago Dacsy bought 26 carloads of the onions in the Ohio and Wisconsin markets at an aver- age price of $3.75 a sack of 100 pounds. His purchases totaled 6250 sacks. The price here then was about $5 a sack.. Within the last two weeks the scarc- ity of onions has caused a new and rapid advance in the prices and Dacey today is disposing of his supply «at $10.50 a sack. He expects a gross profit on all of at least $5 a sack, or more than $32,000. Dacey predicts that onions will ad- vance to $15 a sack before the Texas crop begins to arrive here about April i.

St. Louis possesses buildings of all kinds valued at $275,0)0,000, accord- ing to estimates made in a set of 12 volumes, giving details about every structure in St. Louis, which was purchased for $700 today by Assessor Schramm. The books are to be used by the Board of Equalization, when it meets in March to consider appeals against tax assessments. Schramm thought the board’s work would be facilitated and perhaps some revenues saved to the city if there were at hand a com- plete’ reference work by which the board could check up the claims of those applying to have their taxes de- creased. The volumes were published by a local map company, and are to be kept up to date at a cost of $144 a year. SUMMER CLOTHES COST MORE Tailors Say Wool and Dye Scarcity Will Help Boost Prices.

SHE PLEADED FOR HIS LIFE Says Two Men Told Her They Had No Intention of Harm- ing Her Husband. Dominic Giambrone, a saloon keeper at 826 Biddle street, and his helper, Momo Annello, were questioned by the police this morning concerning the mur- der of Vincent Butera, whose body, with a hatchet buried in the skull, was found yesterday afternoon in his sa- loon at 901 Biddle street. Giambrone and Annello were arrested after Butera's widow revealed that her husband told her two weeks ago these were the men to be questioned in case he should be killed. Mrs. Butera said that since Feb. 2 her husband had stood armed guard at his saloon, sleeping there at night, because of threats to kill him and blow up the building. She was not disquieted be- cause he did not return home after the closing hour at 1 o’clock yesterday morning, and in the afternoon she went downtown to shop. Finds Saloon Locked. At about 3 o'clock she went to the Sa- loon to see her husband, and found the doors locked. She called a policemau. who forced an entrance. Butera’s body lay in a hallway between the saloon and a poolroom in the rear. Mrs. Butera said her husband opened the saloon about eight months ago, and soon reports reached him that Giam- brone, in the c jolning block, was an- gered at this invasion of what he con- sidered his trade territory. Strangers went to Butera mysteriously and told him that if he didn't close his place and move away he would be killed, Once a bomb was set off in the rear of the saloon, but did no damage. our fanijlies who had quarters Above the Saloon were terrified into e By, threats that the building’ would’ be de- stroyed. Butera did not inform his wife of these warnings until Feb. 2, on which date, according to his nephew, Philip Butera, Annello met Vincent Butera and told him he must give up his business. To guard his property and also, Mrs. Bu- tera thovght, to prevent any possibility of his wife’s life being endangered pv an attempt to kill him by blowing up his home at 3870 Page avenue, Butera put a cot under the bar in the saloon and slept there with two revolvers within easy reach. When Butera ger he was in, up his saloon, told his wife of the dan- she begged hin. to give but he replied that he would hold on until his year’s license expired. Then, she said, she went to Giambrone and Annello and on her knees begged them not to harm her hus band. They told her, she said, that they had no intention of injuring him, and denied having menaced him. The police were convinced that Butera was struck from the rear as he stood behind the. bar checking up his cash register before closing. No Evidence of Resistance. Either his assailant stole upon him without being detected, or else was someone whom the saloon man knew and did not tear, for he was a man of powerful physique, 6 feet tall and weigh ing 200 pounds. There was no evidence of resistance, and Butera's revolvers lay where he could quickly have reaciied them. The body was dragged from b»- hind the bar into the hallway, where it could not be seen by passersby througa the windows. There was no attempt at robbery, as Butera’s watch and money were found undisturbed. Giambrone was arrested in his saloon a few minutes after the murder was discovered. He denied any knowledge of the crime and said he had never threatened Butera. Annello was taken last night at his home in “Dago Hill, and to all questions replied with ges- tures meaning that he did not under- stand English. Germans Issue Aluminum Coins.

HOUSE GETS WEBB BILL Favorable Report Mdae on Pro- posal to Submit National Prohibition Amendment. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—The Senate today adopted a drastic amendment to the postoffice appropriation bill, making it a crime for persons in dry states to order, purchase or cause to be trans- ported any intoxicating liquors into such states. About the same time the Webb resolu- tion for a national prohibition constitu- tional amendment was reported favor- ably to the House, although a minority committee report was made against ft. . Democratic Leader Kitchin said the Webb resolution would be taken up in the House within a week. He predicted it would pass the House by the neces- sary two-thirds, but probably would not be acted upon in the Senate before ad- journment of Congress, March 4. Majority Report. The majority report declared that, in- asmuch as more than 60 per cent of lire population of the-- United States lives in dry territory, it is incumbent upon Congress to submit the question of national prohibition to the states. Leaving out of consideration the mer- its of the prohibition policy of dealing with the alcoholic liquor traffic,” says the report, when more than half of the states in the Union have declared in favor of prohibition; when 85 per cent of the territory of the United States has outlawed the saloon, and more than 69 per cent of the population live in such territory; and when approxi- mately 10,000,000 of our people residing in all sections of the Union have peti- tioned directly for the passage of this resolution, your committee is of the on the Congress to submit the issue to the states ir the manner requested as prescribed by the terms of the Con stitution itself. “If it is not desired, 13 states of the Union can prevent its adoption; but if, on the other hand, 36 states desire such change, they should have the right 20 make it, and it would appear to your committee that the question is now one of sufficient importance to be submitted to them, so that they may pass upon * Minority’s Objections. The minority report set forth six ob- jections to the resolution. They were that “it does not ‘provide for a date of submission to all states; it would not prohibit personal consumption of liquor: it would interfere with the police pow- ers of the states; it would permit the confiscation of property without com- pensation; the general governmental] effect of prohibition would be bad: it would raise a serious revenue question.“ “Coercion alone will not prohibit; neither will it inculcate temperance,“ the minority report continues, for temper- ance and, indeed, prohibition, depend on changes for the better in habits and conditions which are only brought about by a regulation of benefit obtained through moral and educational appre- ciation.’’ Signers of the minority report were Representatives Igoe ahd Dyer of St. Louis, Graham of Pennsylvania, Steele of Iowa, Danforth and Dale of New York and Gard of Ohio. The Webb measure would prohibit the manufacturing, transportation, importa- tion and sale of alcoholic liquor for bev- erage purposes. 7 GERMAN SAILORS BROUGHT FROM PANAMA UNDER GUARD Taken to Ellis Island, and Will Ge Before Board of Inquiry of Immigration Department.

(Copyright, 1917, by the Press Pub. Co.) BERLIN, Feb. 15.— During his Vienna visit the Kaiser recgived the Austrian poet and playwright, Hans Mueller, author of ‘*Koenage,” and now enjoying the distinction of being permitted to publish the first inter- Mueller writes: „eit is a well-spring of clarification and confidence to hear Kaiser Wil- helm speak about the sharpest of all our weapons, the new submarine war, whose results, military, political and psychological, he already now ap- appraised as very considerable. Look at the European neu- trals!’ the Kaiser exclaimed. ‘Read the Swedish answer, this document written as if for all eternity! Now the _ neutrals know right well how they have to estimate our strength, but likewise our will to peace! For the first time, in a certain sense, the declared will of the small neutral states stands against the Anglo-Saxon world, and WNapo- leon’s continental blockade, from a phantom, is becoming a reality, | one which will hit_E Per than everything: else aste fore. “I interjected that our people, too, stand firmly and courageously ready to make sacrifices for the recent decision. Kaiser Wilhelm's eyes flashed ſoyfuülly. He nodded his head and said, bean- ing: Ja, I know, I know, and I rejoice with all my heart to see how splen- didly your blauen jungen (bluejack- ets) work together with mine. There is greatness of purpose in this; the goal is set, and things are going ahead!“ Refers to Peace Offer Mueller referred to the letter which the Kaiser had written to the Chancel- lor, announcing the peace offer of the central Powers. Kaiser Wilhelm nod- ded energetically and said: This letter had to be written. This Menon had to be caren. For now all EMPEROR WILLIAM oF GERMANY, the world knows who those are who impose continued miseries on hu- manity.”’ Mueller continues his description of his interview with the Kaiser: Here we stand in intimate converse over the last phase of the war. Could I but reproduce the high moral tone and likewise the tone of knowledge with which Kaiser Wilhelm gives. splendid expression to his confidence! Then would in everyone’s house a window fly open and through every open window would a new spring sun shine over the table.” “For the Kaiser does not indulge in phrases. He has faith, as one who has looked dangers openly in the face. | K more: he toves Austria- Hungary with all his heart. Does one already forget,’ the Kaiser asks, ‘that it is the entente which protects the murderers of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand? How short is the world’s memory! As to- day I saw Baron Bumerskirch, the Court Marshal of my departed friend, for the first time since those spring days in Koenopsicht, the reflection came over m. again so strongly— over our enemies, from the very be-. ginning, Hes the shadow of this crime! On our side is right and mor- ality—and to help these to triumph must every shining weapon be wel- come to us.“ Art His One Recreation, After thanking the poet Mucller for his war drama, the Kaiser remarked that he regarded the pleasure derived from art as his one recreation from the hundred thousand matters of state and m | Refer to ‘Swede s Stand and Says That for First Time Small Neutral Na- tions Have Taken Stand cares for his nation which fill him now. The Kaiser said he had inherited his understanding for the stage from his mother. He said that everv century had its own silhouette, and that it was, the duty of the theater to revive this sil- ‘Thouette as a picture. of its whole kultur. | Then the Kaiser expressed the hope that the poet would in his future work continue to draw on Germany’s past which he characterized as a rich, un- worked gold mine. He then told how, from his earliest youth, a few figures had followed him, such as Theodoric King of Visigoths, then the Romish German Kaiser Friederich II, but above all, the Emperor Charles V. The Kaiser told Mueller he should sometimes think of Charles V and Luther together, say- ing: Who knows, if Charles and Luther had come together, where the German nation would be today?“ Kaiser’s Vienna Toast. That the Kaiser not only feels cer- tain of the success of unlimited sub- marine warfare, but sees in it the quick- est means of ending the frightful world war is read in the concluding words of his toast at the court banquet with the Emperor Charles and his entourage, the Kaiser concluding: “God grant that after these earnest and great times our two lands, united by firm and loyal bonds, may soon en- joy a secure peace, and that they may be going toward a happy future.” It is regarded as significant that the peace idea ig still uppermost in the Kaiser’s mind, and this banquet utter- ance is considered as further proof of the sincerity of Germany’s rejected peace Pp sal. While of a private Character, Kaiser’s visit to the Au ‘at this time ie not with nificance for the allied central Powers, according to Vienna dispatches, partio- ularly as only a few days ago the Kais- er visited King Ferdinand of Bulgaria | at Bath Poestyn, Hungary. In this continuance of personal ex- change of views between the rulers of the central Powers the specialists here see only the natural and logical conse- quences of the rapidfy progressive de- velopment which the war is taking in its decisive phase. Vienna agrees that the Kaiser looks decidedly better than on his visit two months ago, When he prayed at the bier of Francis Joseph. His face is reported to be fuller and his features less strained. In official circles here it is said that nothing is known about any joint step being taken by several neutrals to per- suade Germany to alter or abandon the unlimited submarine war. MIDNIGHT FROLIC’ AND | BALL IS CALLED OFF Society Women Who Assisted Promoter Unlikely to Get Refund for Tickets. Bovette Tuey’s “Midnight Frolic,” at the Odeon and his fox trot ball at the Jefferson Hotel, both scheduled for to- night, have been “indefinitely post- poned.“ Society women who permitted the use of their names as “patronesses” and others who bought tickets for the “big show” at $2 each have a slim prospect of receiving any return. . Tucy, accompanied by his wife, ar- rived in St. Louis about two months ago. He said they had both been in the chorus of Ziegfeld’s Follies and knew all about giving a show that would make St. Louis sit up and gasp. The wheels were started working at cnce. A professional promoter installed a force of solicitors in an office in the Navarre Building, and these men got busy on the telephone, enlisting the aid of society women in the project. Among those who agreed to be patronesses for a charitable undertaking were Mrs. Jul- jus S Walsh Jr. and Mrs. Horace 8. Rumsey. ’ It was announced that the show at the Odeon and the ball at the Jeffer- son were to be for charity and that the net proceeds would go to the St. Ann's Foundlings’ Home. Each pa- troness was asked to buy a certain number of tickets. Tuey was lavish in his promises. At the Odeon show, he said, he was to have on the stage a coach and four, l4 auto- mobiles, a regiment of soldiers and two noted prize fighters. None of these ever materialized. While his solicitors were busy trying to sell tickets. Tucy was having trouble with the Hotel Jefferson management because he could not pay his bill there For a time the management locked him out of his room. He now owes 80 large a bill that the managen.ent is holding him as a “hostage” in the hope that he might realize enough tr some way in the near future to pay his obliga- tions. — Eighty tickets were sold at $2 each Continued on Page 2.

RAILWAY EMBARGO ON ~—CARLOAD SHIPMENTS Order in Local Field Follows Similar Action in the East. Perishable Freight Excepted A far-reaching embargo has deen placed by most of the trunk lines run- ning east of St. Louis on all carload freight except perishable matter, on account of the congestion at junction gateways and on account of refusal of Eastern lines to accept carload freight. The Big Four will not accept carload shipments of nonperishable freight for points east of Indianapolis. The B. 4 0. will accept no through carload ship- ments from connecting lines at East St. Louis, originating beyond the St. Louis and East St. Louis shipping district except livestock, perishable foodstuffs for human consumption, feed for live- stock, fertilizer, seeds and coal for pub- lic utilities and hospitals.

GERMAN VERSION OF PROPOSAL FOR PARLEY WITH U.S. LONDON, Feb. 15.—The German offi- cial version of the proposals made through the Swiss Minister in Wash- ingten for a conference on submarine questions is given in the following offi- cial telegram, says Reuter’s Amsterdam correspondent : “What lies at the bottom of this re- port is the following: A telegram from the Swiss Minister in Washington was transmitted to Germany by Switzerland in Which the Minister offered, if Ger- many was agreeable, to mediate in ne- gotiations with the American Govern- ment about the declaration of prohibited areas, as thereby the danger of war be- ‘tween Germany and the United States miant be diminished. “The Swiss Government was then re- duested to inform its Minister at Wash- ington that Germany, as before, was ready to negotiate with America in case the ebmmeree barrier against our ene- mies remained untouched. “AS is obvious, Germany could only have entered into such negotiations on conditfon that, firstly, diplomatic rela- tions ‘between America and Germany should be restored, and, secondly, that the object of the negotiations could only : be certain concessions respecting Amer - ican passenger ships. The interdiction of overseas imports proctaimed against our enemies through unrestricted submarine warfare would thus; “even if diplomatic relations with Amertea were restored, be in no circum- stanees relaxed. The reply of the Swiss Minister at Washington expressed very clearly that in the resolute carrying out of our C- boat war against the entire overseas import of our enemies there is for us no turning back.

If she is thin-blooded, very likely she needs Pepto-Mangan, ‘‘The Red Blood Builder.’’ It has help- ed many young girls. A young girl, with rich, red, healthy blood in her veins, is sure to pass into vig- orous, blooming womanhood.

A sad contrast to the red-blooded young girl is the maiden trying to struggle into womanhood with only the 8 of her weak, thin, watery blood. The pallid school girl, doctors commonly call her. Her tongue is coated, her ears colorless. She has no pg for food, no appetite for work, study or play. She com ferns of headache, dizziness, palpitation of the heart and indigestion.

British Report Success Near Grand- court and Northeast of Arras. LONDON, Feb. 15.—The official report from British headquarters in France last night said: : ? ‘During the day we captured an enemy strong point southeast of Grandcourt and took a few prisoners. 3 “Another successful raid was carries out this morning northeast of Arras. We penetrated 250 yards into the enemy's defenses and reached his third line. Two machine gun emplacements and a nun. the enemy were killed. We captured # prisoners and a machine gun. Our casu- alties were very light. “We entered German lines last night on the Somme and northeast of Ypres and inflicted considerable casualties. “A hostile raid east of Armentiercs during the night was repulsed; an enemy party reached our trenches south of Messines but was quickly ejected. “Three of the enemy’s ammunition camps were exploded today by our. ar- tillery fire. North of Ypres we caused a fire in the enemy’s lines. „One German airplane was destroyed in the air fighting yesterday on our side of the line, and one of cur machines was brought down.“ Germany Said to Have More Troops Than kt Start of the War. LONDON, Feb. 15.— An Amsterdam dis- patch to the Times quotes an American who has just arrived there from Frank- kurt, where he has resided for 18 months, as stating that the Germans have a sur- prising number of troops. The dispatch says that every German of military age who is not engaged in the munition industry has been ordered into the army, with the result that the German troops are now more numerous than at the be- ginning of the war.

LONDON, Feb. 15.—Naval officers here expressed the belief that the sub- marine operations may continue at high tension for a couple of months, but thev show the utmost confidence in the ahi:. ity of the navy to cope with the latest campaign with approximately the sare success as the campaign against the U- boats in 1915. An Admiralty official showed the A885 ciated Press today the figures of arrivais and departures for Tuesday at English ports, proving that a larger number of vessels entered and departed than en any day during the last six months. Taking a day at random during the period since the latest war zone was de- clared, out of 140 British arrivals and departures only four veasels were suri and these figures, according to the of- ficial, gave an excellent idea of the per- centage of loss to vessels taking the risks. In the English Channel, where Brit. ish communications are most vital, Ad- miralty officers say, the losses have been extraordinarily small at a time when more ships than usual are be 2g routed througn the Channel.

LUDENDORFF TERMED KAISER'S MOST VITAL FORGE Quartermaster-General Con- ceives the Military. Plans, Americans From Berlin Say. PARIS, Feb. 15.—Americans arriving in the French capital today from Berlin | who were in a position to.see what was taking place behind the screen regard Gen. von Ludendorff, the first quarter- master general of the German Imperial army, as the most vital person in the small group surrounding Emperor Wil- liam responsible for the German policy. Gen. von Ludendorff, the Americans Say, appears to be the brain that con- ceives the military plans while Field Marshal von Hindenberg, chief of the general staff, is the hand that executes them. Gen. von Ludendorff is described as being of a military mind, rather than of a political one. Yet his immense in- fluence in the entourage of the German Emperor gives him a voice in purely political and foreign policies. Contempt for U. 8. Strength. _ Americans whos business in Berlin was to study the springs of action of the German Government say they know that Gen. von Ludendorff dislikes Americans and has contempt for their military strength. While he is aware of their potentialities, yet so far as any organi- zation and application of them is pos- sible, the ycould not, in the opinion of the German Quartermaster-General, be brought to bea rupon the present war which, he thinks, will be finished before the United States could get into action. The conviction in the small group responsible for the acts of the German Government appears to.be that the sub- marine war can be successful against England within three months. That !n any event it is a powerful arm for immediate and continual use until the war is ended. Consequently, it will be used for all its is worth. The military situation in Germany, acocrding to the same source of infor- mation, is regarded as beginning to he affected by the exhaustion of man power. Every man in the country be- tween the ages of 18 and 45 has been gathered for the arm.y Workmen with- in those ages have been replaced by men physically unfit for active service or below or beyond the age limits. 2,000,000 Gone From Army. The German losses in dead, officially placed by the last public announcements as having reached slightly beyond 1,000,-. 000 officers and men, is, according to cautious estimates 300,000 or 400,000 be- yond that figure. The sanitary service of the German army has been very good and because of this, a high per- able to return to the active army.

WORKED OUT IN DETAIL Will Be Made Public, if Con- gress Fails to Act, to Allow Com- parison With Senate Measure. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—A detailed pian for the establishment of a national policy of universal military training and service was laid before Secretary Baker yesterday by the Army General Staff. ie differs radically from that provided for in the Chamberlain bill, favorably reported Saturday by the Senate Mili- tary Committee, in that a full year of training would be required as the abso- jute minimum. The Senate bill is based en six months’ training. The staff bill was submitted to each of the 36 members of that body and represents the consensus of their opin- ion. It is understood to have been worked out in much greater detail than the Senate bill, which leaves wide de- partmental power to prescribe regula- tions. . Secretary Baker has indicated that the eco endations of the staff will be r public later, even in the event that the plan does not receive the ad- ministration’s approval, so that it can serve as a basis for discussion before the country after the adjournment of Congress, and can be compared with the Senate plan. Advocates of univer- sal service have urged that a referen- aum be taken when public sentiment has voen crystallized on the question. Secretary Baker’s Position. In numerous e putiic adéresses Secre- tary Baker has made references to gompulsory service which have been in- terpreted by some army officers as an indorsement of some such system, but neither he nor President Wilson has definitely committed himself. With the staff and Senate bills now available, many officials believe the question will be given serious considera- tion at the White House, particularly in view of strained ‘international rela- tions. There has been little prospect that the matter would be brought to a definite issue before the next session of Con- greas, but it is pointed out by advo- cates of such: legislation that if the President should recommend passage of A universal service bill the present Con- gress could hardly avoid a vote on the subject. . How Staff Bin was Drawn. The staff bill, which is understood to have been modeled on the Argentine military system to some extent, was drawn by a committee of four officers of the general steff, headed by Col. Lockridge. /Ten attached officers at the War College aided in the avork. Estimates of cost and numbers were included in the report of this committee, which was subsequently handed to every officer of the general staff for his in- dorsement. Minor differences of opinion developed, but, on the urgent desirability of pass- ing a universal service bill, the staff officers are said to be unanimous in their belief that the country can have no assurance of adequate defense unless some such system is provided. Daughter of Joseph Dickmann Alleged She Was Deserted. Judge Hennings today granted a di- veroe to Mrs. Mayme Hezel, in her suit against Otto J. Hezel.

His wife asserts that they returned to their home at 3915 Lafayette avenue at 6:20 a. ni. and that immediately afterward, while intoxicated and in his full dress suit, Kiel went to a saloon at 3900 McRee avenue; that she went there for him, but he would not return with her. ‘Kiel told that upon leaving Riverside Club, about 4 a. m., he took a bottle of champagne along, and that he and his wife drank it. He said he went to the saloon to get another bottle, as he was intent on celebrating New Year’s. He recalled that he was able, however, to keep an afternoon appointment with the Mayor and his family, and that his wife was in bed all day with a head- ache and did not get up until 6 p. m. In her petition, as told yesterday, Mrs. Kiel alleges nonsupport, abandonment, tendencies for gambling, drink and as- sociation with other women. She is 21 years old. Before her elopement with Kiel to Omaha, March 2, 1914, she was a stenograrher and lived with her par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Roulston of 722 Carpenter place. With her son she is now at her parents’ home, 3714 Wind- gor place. Young Kiel is employed as an inspec- tor in the Street Department, and the payroll shows his salary to be 990 a month. In her petition Mrs. Kiel says her husband's Salary is $125 a month. COURT 10 * CITY’S RECORDS ON “HANK” WEEKE Order Issaed in Civic League's Injunc- tion Suit to Stop His Pay.

Seven policemen have been summoned to appear before the Board of Police Commissioners tomorrow afternoon to answer to charges of neglect of duty. One of these is Benjamin T. Drum- wright of the Carondelet District, who on Feb, 4 shot and killed Bathus C. Quarrles in a disorderly house at 29404 Lucas avenue, conducted by Mrs. Edna Wones. Drumwright was exonerated by a Coroner’s jury. The charge of nex- lect is based upon the allegations that he consorted with a disorderly person and failed to report a disorderly house. Four patrolmen, Matthews Connors, Harry Leonard. Francis H. Pim and Frank Heffernan, were cited in connec- tion with the burglary of the home of A. McR. Harrelson, 5929 De Giverville avenue, in January, when the family was away from home. It is alleged the patrolmen, who had been told to watch the house did not discover the burglary until two days afterward. Patrolmen John Kucera and Edward S. Williams of the Soulard Street Dis- trict are charged with neglect in failing to find a stolen motor truck abandoned Feb. 8 at Jefferson and Russell avenues, on their beats.

Buckman said that there were also indefinite office rumors about possible peace developments, but he did not know whether they were to come from Washington or Germany. Buckman said the “tell-tale” on the telegraph instrument recording the Clement leak' tip was out of order Dec. 12 to 20. At this Representative B. M.

WITHERS SAYS ST. LOUIS SCHOOLS NEED FEW CHANGES Work by Blewett Leaves Little to Be Done, Says New Su- perintendent of Education FOR TRADE TEACHING Thinks Vocational Work Should Be Done, but Only in the High Schools. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEWARK, N. J., Feb. 15,—Dr. John W. Withers, newly elected Superintend- ent of Public Schools of St. Louis, talked today with a Post-Dispatch correspond- ent of his new responsibilities, and de- clared that the work of his predeces- sor, the late Ben Blewett, had left the schools in such excellent condition that no important change is needed. Dr. Withers is here as a member of a commission organized by New Jersey’s State Commissioner of Education to make a survey of the State normal schools. The St. Louis schools are now in close touch with the people,” he said, and they are serving the people as complete- ly as possible. We in St. Louis are Sanely progressive. We don’t want to move forward 10 steps and slip back five. That is one great thing about St. Louis. We never go back.“ Gary Plan Not Needed West. When he was asked about the Gary (Ind.) plan of education, which has aroused much interest in the East, Dr. Withers replied that St. Louis did not need to consider such a plan, the chief feature of which is the grouping of the children in large study halls. Such a plan, he said, might be needed where there is congestion in schvol buildings, but no such condition will exist in St. Louis when the proceeds of the new bond issue are made available. He spoke with pride of the large ma- jority given for the bond issue, of the city’s fine school buildings and of the been done on a 6-mill tax. While the: new Superintendent does not believe in “extravagant ex peri- ments,“ he is by no means reactionary. He does not believe in definite voca- tional courses in the elementary schools, but he feels the high schools should differentiate their courses to meet the students’ needs. Vocational training will continue to expand, he pointed out. He also expressed interest in the ex- perimental school to be established by the General Education Board, backed by the Rockefeller millions, in Teachers’ College, Columbia University, next Sep- tember. “I welcome all such experi- ments.“ he said, and that is a good way to try out things, using such a fund rather than taking the people’s money.” “If their experiments. prove successful, then school systems may adopt them. If not, they may go by the board and no one is the worse for it.“ Approves of Wide Discussion. As to the vigorous discussion center- ing about this experiment, which will seek to base school training almost al- the style creations of his subjects fer fact that all the work of education bad Jure you get the genuine, ask to see Buckman said he could give no first- hand information as to the tell-tale“ being out of order, but would ask tne chief operator to appear before the committee for that purpose. The condition of the money market during the leak period’’ was next taken up by the investigators, From Williain A. Simonson, general executive man- ager of the National City Bank, it was learned that his institution’s time loans | ;¢. to brokers reached a high point cf $57,000,000 on Dec. 1, having risen, said, $7,000,000 in one day. By Dec. 20, Simonson said, the loans had fallen to $73,000,000. He said he was aware of no panicky conditions during that period. Francis L. Hine, president of the First National Bank, testified that the loans to brokers had increased 20 per cent from last October to December. His bank had outstanding in December, he said, about $75,000,000 or $80,000,000.

A marvel of stylish elegance and be- wildering brijliance—and beauty, too— revolved before a wide-eyed audience at Moolah Temple last night at the open- ing performance of the St. Louis Pag- eant of Fashion, the innovated style show, in which art is graciously mad: to shieid the commercial aspect of the merchant displaying his wares. 7 A half-circle runway, extending from the stage into the auditorium, was the rim of the living wheel of fashion which moved constantly about the center-stage hub of interpreting dancers and gor- seous scene settings. While women sat: fascinated, analyti- cally marking down ideas for future dressing, their husbands applauded, for- getting to count the cost. It was an audience probably half men, and the women there, it was plain to see, came to observe, not to show, handsome cloth- ing. Many seats were occupied by out- of-town merchants and their wives. here to buy new stocks. Four Phases of the Pageant. The four phases of the pageant— spring, youth, sport and evening—were each preceded by music in harmony and bare-limbed dancers interpreting the spirit of what was to be shown. Tho dancers were led by Miss Olga Bates. who herself took the premier roles most gracefully. Darkness at the opening was broken when drawn curtains revealed Aurora upon a pedestal in a portal through which the growing light of dawn illu. minated the stage. Aurora shouted greeting to the House of Saint Louis, to the Temple of Fashion and to all the spirits that enter it. Then she disap- peared in darkness and as a new soft light became diffused throughout the stage, Saint Louis was announced py a herald and entered through the central portal. The Queen of Fashion was announced and was received by Saint Louis, who commanded his attendants to bring forth display before the Queen. The part of Saint Louis was taken by John L. Tier- ney and the Queen of Fashion was played * Laura Moore. cenes Move Rapidly After "thee introduction. the scenes moved rapidly. The springtime dancers danced exultantly about the stage, while the Spirit of Spring lay sleeping on the steps to the Temple of Fashion. Pan, her companion, a slip of a girl, dressed in goat skins, was awakened and dance ! and then Spring, herself, was aroused to join joyously in the dance. A brilliantly illuminated scene showed through por- tals and overhanging limbs of peach trees showered blossoms on the dancers. Spring fashions then stepped forth. Forty models, exquisitely gowned in the newest creations of St. Louis designers and manufacturers, paraded sedately over the runway and then through a broad aisle in the back so that = the audience might obtain a close view. Col- or, was the impression left by their pass- ing. Red, blue, old gold, green, tan, orange, purple, yellow, with all shades and variations, were fitted in several styles upon models of varied types— blondes, d as they should be, and brunettes ae wise. Hat of Chinese Designs. Hats — 2 many shapes and some- times the wearer carried a parasol to match the color. Here and there a hat of Chinese design attracted particular attention. Some were conical, like the coolies wear, and others were almost flat, with many corners and some acute angles of adjustment to the head. Chinese designs extended to the gowns also, some very striking productions being shown—loose fitting coats of light shade, ornamented with vari-colored trimmings. : : Diana Joins in the Dance. The exhibiting of styles for youth, sport and afternoon and evening fol- lowed. Youth was introduced by a scene showing Nixies supporting the Fountain of Youth, while two lovers danced. The sport scene showed Diana, goddess of the chase, standing in a portal sheltered by the branches of great forest trees. She had her hunting bow and rushed into the dance of the hunt, being joined presently by the other dancers, repre- senting Greek athletes, who went through the motions of throwing the dis- cus, running races and other games. The evening scene was the most strik- ing in lightning and dancing effects. Through a narrow aperture an immense bright moon appeared where darkened sky and the earth line met. Above were tiny stars. The dancers were silhouetted on the face of the moon. At the conclu- sion of music the dancers left their poses and floated upon the stage like clouds. Four represented clouds, two stars and one the moon. Mark for St. Louis Goods. The models were dressed with the greatest ¢are throughout, all details harmonizing. In the end the Queen of Fashion approved them and gave to Saint Louis a mark, which he is to place hereafter upon all the products of his subjects. The pageant was arranged for the purpose of showing that St. Louis makers produce. garments as artistic and as useful as any to be had. Every article worn was made in St. Louis, —dre coats, hats, shoes, hosiery. The stately\ Queen of Fashion was all a-glitter withjewels valued at $20,000 by the St. Louis house which furnished them. The Chamber of Commerce, the Retail Dealers’ Association, manufacturers and wholesalers, and other interests, con- tributed to the enterprise, and many of the tickets had been alloted to their customers. The book of the pageant was arranged by Flint Garrison, Joseph Solari and Anita Moore. The production will be shown each night for a week except Sunday night. — — INQUIRY AS TO WO O MAKE AUDITOR’S REPORT JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 15.— Fol- lowing publication in the Post-Dispatch that former State Auditor John P.

HAVANA, Feb. 15.—Latest reports from Las Villas show that the Conserva- tives (the party of President Menocal) have a large majority in the re-elec- tion. | Three rebels and two troopers were killed in a fight between the insurrec- tos under Baldomera Acosta and forces under Col. Carillo. In Manguaraya reb- els under Joaquin Gomez were defeat- ed by troops who captured arms and prisoners. There is no interruption in the operations of the sugar mills. The Government has cabled the United States for prices on the latest makes of airplanes. The Cuban aviator Agusin Parla is expected to operate against the rebels. Parla flew from Key West to the Bay Muriel in May, 1913, and won a $5000 prize. Gomez’ Yacht Is Found. The yacht Julito, owned by former President Gomez, has been found by a leunboat, abandoned. Gen. Geraldo Machado, a prominent Cuban military official and member of the Liberal Committee, is reported to have been killed at Las Vallas. Another member of the Liberal Committee, Gen. Ernesto Asbert, has been captured by Government troops. The arrest of Gen. Asbert was confirmed_today. at the se- cret police headquarters here. The Gen eral was formerly Governor of Havana Province. In July, 1913, he was impli- cated in the killing of Gen. Jesus Riva, the head of the Havana police depart- ment. The following year he was con- victed and sentenced to 12 years’ im- prisonment, but was released from pris- on after the Cuban Senate and House of Representatives had passed an am- nesty bill over the veto of President Menocal.

Eugene Baur, u years old, went to trial in Judge Rassieur’s court today on the charge of murdering his wife, Edna. 21 years old, at their home, 190A Dodier street, on Oct. 21, 1916. The plea, accord- ing to Charles P. Johnson, Baur's attor- ney, is self defense. There were no witnesses to the killing except the two small children of the couple, Virgina, 4 years old, and Frances, 18 months. Baur fled to the home of his father at 2178 Linton streot, where he was arrested. He told the police that there was a quarrel] about money and he was preparing to leave} his wife when she slashed his suit case. He rebuked her and there was a struggle and he shot her. He claimed that the shooting was accidental. 112 ARRESTS IN GARMENT STRIKE 4400 Manchester a | garet Ruloff, 1415 avenue. Nine Women Among These Held in Chicage for Distributing Circulars.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—Count Johann H. von Bernstorff, former German Am- bassador to the United States, is on his way home today aboard the Scandina- vian-American liner Frederik VIII. The liner got away quietly late yesterday afternoon and will stop at Halifax, N. S., for examination by British authori- ties. With the former Ambassador sailed the Countess and 200 German dip - lomatic and consular officials. Hans Tauscher, husband of Mme. Jo: hanna Gadski, the singer, and repre- sentative of the Krupp interests in this country, and Wolf von Igel, former sec- retary to Capt. Franz von Papen, also sailed on the Frederik VIII. Both were Tauscher was acquitted. Count von Bernstorff in bidding him good-by declared: under more pleasant auspices. I am ture.“ Before the steamer departed at 4 o' clock the former Ambassador held a of Switzerland, who assumed charge of German interests in this country. Received Many Flowers.

The Am- bassador himself, deeply affected, re- mained away from the rest of the party as much as he could in the excitement which usually precedes the sailing of a great ocean liner. nel, the New Jersey shores were dotted with persons who had been waiting depart. From the lying close spelled’ out chiefs were the ship. At various times since Feb. 3, Count von Bernstorff expressed to a represen- tative of the Associated Press his per- sonal views on the new Gerthan subma- rine operations, the possibility of the United States being drawn into the wer, his readiness to retire from active life and the doubts he held about reaching Germany in safety. View on Situation. Discussing the neutrality of the Amer- ican people he said: “Naturally a person’s sympathies ere where he does business.“ He defended Germany from the charge of being a violator of the rights of humanity or the principles of international law vy asking first whether it was humane fcr England, by her blockade, to try to Starve out the nocombatant population , German women and babies’’—and hy calling attention to an American note which declared the British blockade to be illegal and indefensible. On the pos- sibility of averting war, the former Am- bassador said he considered that to be “conditional upon Germany being able to bring the entente to its knees before anything happens to involve the United States.“ He was emphatic in declaring that “the submarine campaign is boun 1 to increase in intensity as the weather gets warmer.“ Maybe it is possible that war may at hand signal pennants their farewell. waved from the decks of ident is represented in the newspapers as having made it clear that the next time he. went to Congress it would not be to ask for war, but in connection with protection to American shipping. What does that mean? To me, person- ally, that could mean but one thing, namely, the convoying of ships.“ Count von Bernstorff does not believe that convoyed ships would be subject to attack, although he feels a great element of danger is attached to such a procedure. Personally, the former Ambassador feels that many Americans have not always been strictly neutral. He has told his friends, however, that he believed sentiment in the United States was influenced by commercial conditions brought about by the war. Interests Where Business Is. “You have shipped your goods to the aliles because they had command of the seas, he said. “If the conditions had been reversed and the German navy in- stead of the British had that command, you would have shipped your goods to us. Naturally, any person's sympathies are where he does business. You can’t blame him for that. “Let us consider humanity and inter- national law. There has been a cry against Germany on the ground that we. have violated the rights of the for- mer and the principles of the latter. But it is a poor rule that does not work both ways. “Is it not a violation of the rights of humanity for the British to try to starve out the nonoombatant population ur women and our German babies? There is nothing human in that. “I said maybe it was possible for war to be averted, didn’t 17 Of course, you must understand that is conditional upon Germany being able to bring the ai tientente to its knees before anything indicted in connection with an alleged | plot to blow up the Welland canal, but Mayor Griffin of Hoboken said that „ hope we shall be able to meet again | sure peace will be here in the near fu- final conference with Minister Ritter | other members of his suite received sev- ashore 4 sion to the American people for the. wealth of flowers and gifts sent to the, Countess and myself.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH ~~ ONRUNNING FOR MAYOR — Urged by Koeln, Who Suggests That Kiel, Sidener and Haller Withdraw. Former Judge Henry S. Caulfield, wh» has been urged by Collector Edniond Koeln to enter the contest for the Re- publican nomination for Mayor, told a Post-Dispatch reporter today that he had not determined what he would do. He will have until Feb. 26 to file a declara- tion with the Board of Election Com- missioners. Koeln and Caulfield conferred on the subject yesterday, after Koeln had ad- vised Mayor Kiel that he-ought to witir- draw in the interest of harmohy. Koeln also suggested that Howard,Sidener and Julius Haller, who have filed as can- didates, should withdraw, so that some new man satisfactory to all factions of the party could be brought out for the nomination. Mayor Kiel's supporters insist that Collector Koeln will support the Mayor for renomination. They point to the fact that Otto F. Stifel, one of Koeln’s co- workers during the last two years, has indorsed the Mayor for re-election, and that John F. Queeny and A.. Shapleigh, 4 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH quarters at 708 Olive street. Connett supporters have formed an organization to direct his campaign for the nomi- nation. The Democratic. City Committee has not taken action on Mayoralty candi- dates, but some of the members have asked Ben Brinkman to enter the race, and one or two have indorsed Horace Rumsey, excise, commissioner. Samuel B.

S. Approval. FREEDOM FOR CITIZENS Would Guarantee Hague Protec- tion to Merchantmen of Both Parties and Cargoes. By Associated Press. BERLIN, Feb. 14, via London, Feb. 15. —Foreign Secretary Zimmermann, in an informal discussion today with the cor- respondent of the Associated Press, ex- plained the amended version of the American-Prussian treaty of 1799, which Germany is now submitting through the Swiss Government for the approval of |} Herr Zimmermann | declared that the interning of civilians | and the confiscation of private property | the United States. were preposterous steps to which his Government was unalterably opposed. The proposed amended treaty deals in the broadest manner with the pri- vate commercial interests and persona) liberties of the subjects of both coun- tries. cles 23 and 24 of the treaty effective immediately upon the severance of diplo- matic relations, as well as in the event of a declaration of war, and would ex- tend their protection over all German merchants in the United States, but would only affect American merchants in Prussia, not in the entire German empire. Unmolested Residence Period. Under the treaty, as it stands at pres- ent, citizens of either country domiciled in the other are guaranteed unmolested residence for nine months after a dec- laration of war, but may be excluded from fortified cities or places of mili- tary importance. The German proposals guarantee to German subjects in the United States and Americans in Germany freedom to leave the country of their respective residence at a time and by roads to be assigned. They may take with them all 18 r personal property, including money, valuables and bank credits, except as otherwise prohibited by existing embar- goes, and protection of themselves and their property shall be guaranieed in accordance with the laws of the country of their residence. There shall be no restrictions of their private rights other than the judicial enforcements imposed on neutrals. Property Treated as Neutral. Special provision is made that civilians shall not be put in concentration camps or their’ property sequestrated except under laws applying alike to all neutrals and a general provision is inserted that German property in the United States and American property in Germany shall be treated as neutral. Another provision protects rights and contract returns. A significant section is one guarantee- ing the protection of the sixth Hague convention in regard to enemy merchant ships to merchantmen of both parties, as well as their cargoes. The provision is extended, however, to forbid the en- forced departure of such vessels from their ports without a binding pass from all enemy countries guaranteeing a free voyage to a home port. The same pro- tection. also would be extended to the patent both parties. Herz-OakKes Candy mig me 512 Locust. Choc. Cocoanut Crea Maple Wal- nut Jumbles, Nut-Filled Butter Cups, 20c lb. NEGROES’ CONTEST FOR $40,000 ESTATE FAILS Judge Upholds Contention That Tes- tator, Elizabeth Mary Simpson, Was a Creole. Circuit Judge Hennings yesterday dis- missed the suit of seven Mississippi ne- groes who claimed the estate of Eliza. beth Mary Simpson as her closest living relatives and heirs. Title to the realty at 2940 Prairie avenue, including near- ly an entire block and valued at 340. 900 was involved. The defendants, who are white, were Eugene Lehman and his wife, Mary, to whom Elizabeth Simpson had willed the property. She died in 1901. The plaintiffs asserted that the wom- an was a negro and had been a slave. The defendants, who had lived at her home, declared that she was a creole of Spanish and French extraction. She ra. ceived the property from Peter Lehman, who died in 1890, for housekeeper for years. Peter and Ru- gene Lehman were cousins. Judge Hennings said he dismissed the suit because he did not believe the plain- tiffs were in any way related to Eliza- beth Simpson, and for the further ren son that she had willed the property io the defendants. He also said he did not believe she was a negress. The plaintiffs asserted that Lehinan was captain of the steamboat Sunny South,“ and that Elizabeth Simpson nad been employed by him as a maid on this boat in the early 708. R. M. Nich. ols, attorney for the defendants, said he had been Peter Lehman’s lawyer for years and that he never was a stenin- boat captain. He was in the meat busi- ness, the attorney said. Nichols alsy said Elizabeth Simpson was a creole. Ibsen’s Friday Bargain. ö Chocolate maraschino cherries, filled sat- inets, assorted marmalades, 20c pound. 91000 Reward in Hunt for Paster.

As mpulsory military training being the most tic of notions and the worst possitie slavery and such tommyrot, would like to say that this n and every other nation is a family and a ly which all members must protect. Family are sometimes imposed on and imposed on stly. And if you are mot prepared with both and muscle to resent such impositions when arise you will be trampled into the most ptic and worst possible slavery and the man would not resent such impositions whether he “weak or strong is cowardly. du and I and every person who deserves the of citizen, elect the people who are to attend large family affairs. They are eletced from rous contestants for their ability to do what xpect. If we‘are going to tie their hands, have them refer to us, by referendum, the we elected them to care for, particularly such a delay in times of crises might mean irretrievable ruin, we had better not elect such a body as the Senate.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. the most willful misrepresentation can pro- auch the editorial entitled “Adding Insult to In- my,” and the writer makes no attempt to con- vert you from the error of your way. It is sim- fp dastardly attempt of befog the minds of the unffiinking American people in the issue now be- dort them, for which the press of the country is saly responsible. Entirely apart from the Ger- Americans in this country there is vastly than a “handful’” of people who not only a the course the Government is pursuing, the systematic effort made by the press represent and distort every honest effort by the central Powers to preserve peace our country. Surely the press has done, and „ its utmost to hasten this country into wortex hat is consuming the Buropean na- You have sown the wind and you will reap nirlwind. It is a regrettable circumstance the writers of such rabbit articles cannot be to go into the firing line at the outbreak of lities to offer their precious bodies a living N on the altar of their country. N. C. SLAYDON, * What War Gave Us. Editor of the Post -Dispatch. Friday's Post-Dispatch I saw a letter un- title of “Asks War Referendum.” The it h writing this letter may call himself an can, but even though he is a citizen of the i Staten he is no American. He depends upon 16 ment for his existence and protection 8 me of pence, but when the Government wants to depend upon him for its existence and protec- om in time of war he says “No;” that he loves Self too much to be shot. I wish he would ask i where he would be if it had not been for There would not be a United States of erica, but we would still bé English subjects wors A TRUE AMERICAN. * to a recent article in the Post-Dispatch, herewith a few figures showing what plumber receives out of the $10-per-day for time of plumber per day. cent te real estate man.......$1 00 cent cost of doing business... 1 30 cent for tad accounts. 70 eee ee eter ee eee aneteee 6 00 $10 00 — — ‘eee „„ ee eee $1 00 UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING. To inform the public thoroughly concerning the advantages from every standpoint of universal obligatory military training anc service, the Post- Dispatch will publish on the editorial page a series of utterances on the subject by public men who speak with authority of experience and careful study. As proof that universal military training for national defense is hot repugnant to the funda- mental principles of democracy upon which this Government is founded, nor to its iz.stitutions, and is not a menace to but a safeguard of the welfare of the people, we shall quote the views of founders of the Republic and its early Presidents. Today we offer a statement of George Washing- ton, whose experience in the Revolutionary War and wise foresight as to the Republic’s needs made him an ardent advocate of military training for the youth of the country. He attributed the des- perate struggle to obtain our independence and our narrow escape from defeat to untrained troops and short enlistments. We shall follow Washing- ton’s counsel with that of Jefferson, apostle of democracy and master of its philosophy and prac- tice. We shall print statements by leading men of today who have given thought to the subject. The Post-Dispatch, in printing this series, has a direct practical object in view. We want not only to inform public opinion, but to crystallize it into a demand that Congress enact and the Presi- dent approve a sound measure providing for uni- versal obligatory military training and service. The Chamberlain bill to this cffect has been re- ported favorably to the Senate by the Military Committee. We think that this or a similar bill should be passed at the earliest possible time. The people should insist upon its adoption. We ought to begin thorough preparation for de- fense now. The only adequate method is uni- versal military training. That will give us pre- paredness for war and heightened efficiency in peaceful activities. It will discourage war and in the event war is forced upon us will insure us against its worst disasters. ‘= _— — a * ' THE KAISER’S UNHAPPY COMPARISON. Speaking of his submarine deadline to Poet Hans Mueller, the Kaiser said, “Napoleon’s con- tinental blockade, from a phantom, is becoming a reality, one which will hit England harder than everything else heretofore.” The comparison is not happy for Germany. Napoleon’s attempted paper blockade has been condemned as illegal and indefensible by the civ- ilized world. It was opposed with force by neu- trals. But Napoleon struck at commerce; he did not attempt to destroy all the means of ocean transportation; nor did he dream of destroying ruthlessly without warning all ships, whether of friend or foe, with their passengers and crews. He harbored no savage intent to send helpless non-combatant citizens of neutral nations, men, women and children, to the bottom of the sea. The Kaiser’s unrestricted submarine warfare combines monstrous crime with Napoleon’s folly. A TRUE AMERICAN. One of last week’s numerous applicants for naturalization papers proved without answering a question that he is eminently qualified for American citizenship. Others, no doubt, were able to demonstrate their fitness, but it remained for this man to do the thing with a certain deft- ness that approached the artistic. Told at the naturalization office that he would have to wait until somebody could serve him, he remarked that he wished to attend a matinee and went away, promising to come back another time. This man belongs. He is no obstinate alien who has kept his eyes closed since he has been in the country. The very pores of his skin have absorbed American instincts. There would be other naturalization days, of course, but the the- ater might catch fire, the star might succumb to angina pectoris, or a friend might touch him for the admission price before he could buy tickets. It is a lucky thing for the country that the naturalization season doesn’t always conflict with the baseball schedule. = ] * ; PAOIFICISM RUNS AMUCK. Doubtless the public has imagined ‘that the $368,000,000 naval bill this year and the $318,885,- 684 total volume of business of the Dupont Pow- der Co. for 12 months are explained by very obvious causes—cguses on which the press, great as is its power, could exert small influence. But Congressman Callaway of Texas and Con- gressman J. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania know better. They told the House that it is due to a sinister control of the press by allied inter- ests and a Munitions Trust. How this control of the press was obtained was decidedly simple. “It was only necessary,” Mr. Callaway said, “to pur- chase control of 25 of the greatest newspapers.” This being done on the monthly payment plan, under a “contract in existence at the present time,” an editor was placed in the office of each of the “25 greatest” newspapers to supervise all matter published and direct all policies respecting preparedness, militarism, finance and other things in the interest of the purchasers. The Munitions Trust editor of course has be- come a familiar personage on the staffs of all newspapers that may be classifed as belonging to the “25 greatest.” He is an autocratic gentleman, something like a sporting editor, and goes about at all times armed with a large quick-firing blue pencil. He sternly reproves any of us who may be slightly inclined to pacificism and painstakingly eliminates anything we may write giv aid or comfort to those unsympathetic to the munitions makers. He also delights to swipe Mr. Bryan and take an occasional jab at Mr. Moore and Mr. | Callaway. Why the thousands of papers outside of the “25 re cnbelag taken in on paper, the monthly payment plan, neither Congressman tells us. It would help out amazingly just now on the present high cost of print paper. It is not 13 either, why these thousands of other ‘papers, which are denied @ high-salaried muni- tions editor, have with negligible exceptions found | about the saiae lessons in recent history as the 25 and have believed that preparedness on a more nearly adequate scale has become a national duty. By all means let us have an inquiry t> disclese the newspapers that have been “bought and paid for.” That “contract now in existence“ must be produced. Until it is produced, Messrs. Moore and “47; Callaway may be assumed to have been imposing on the House with a peculiarly n and vicious kind of pacifist piffle. An official of the Anti-Saloon League writes from Washington to ask if we are opposed to the. Bankhead anti-liquor advertising bill, explaining: that at a recent committee meeting in Congress the Post-Dispatch was represented as being unfa- vorable to its passage. This bill,” he says, sim- ply prevents the use of the mails for liquor ad- vertising. In other words, it simply gives the states an opportunity to enforce their own laws against liquor advertising * * * without be- ing hampered by the Federal Government.”’ The states now have ample authority and oppor- tunity to inforce within their own jurisdiction and in respect to their own citizens any legal enact- ments they may adopt restricting the advertising and the general liberties of the press. Unless there was a design to go beyond this and give doubtful laws a force as applied to persons with- out as well as within their jurisdiction, the Bank- head measure would not be advocated. There is no “hampering” or interference“ on the part of the Federal Government. On the contrary, the purpose is, by obtaining the aid of the Federal Government in inforcement, to hamper and inter- fere with the citizens of states having no laws on this subject. The Bankhead bill is not as drastic as some oth- er bills that presume to regulate the press, but is unwise and even vicious in principle and totally undeserving of enactment. Reasonable safeguards are necessary to prevent the mails being used as an agency for spreading indecency and promoting transactions of a fraudulent and kindred charac- ter. We oppose emphatically a censorship on the mails and the press. = = * — a ee THE PERSONAL NOTE IN CONGRESS. Official cognizance of the appearance of a grandchild in the family of Speaker Clark was taken by the House of Representatives. Public business was suspended and Uncie Joe Cannon made a speech congratulating his successor on being numbered among the “old fool grand- fathers”—a class to which Uncle Joe confessed he had belonged himself for 21 years. Old observers say that the introduction of a note.so deeply personal in the procedure of Con- gress is of comparatively recent date, or perh ps is a revival of some earlier usage long neglected. Public references to highly interesting domestic events in the families of members, which might have been resented as a liberty in the days of Tom Reed or Mr. Crisp or Mr. Carlisle, now pass as a matter of course. to see a progressive diminution in the directness of the relation of a member to the happening of which cognizance is expected to be taken. It is predicted that before long weddings, new heirs and other purely domestic events of vast impor- tance to those immediately concerned, but unfor- tunately of less vital importance to the public, will be made a subject of formal felicitation even when recorded in the collateral and remote branches of Congressional families. In the printed proceedings of Congress we may at no distant date run onto a set of elaborate reso- lutions, passed with eloquent speeches, congratu- lating some prominent member on his success in retaining the same cook in his household for a period considerably greater than the average tenure of cooks in the average household. ase A SOLEMN MOMENT. It was a solemn and tense moment. The en- tire Congress of the United States was assembled in the hall of the House of Representatives. The face of each statesman reflected a gravity that could not be mistaken. The spectators in the gal- leries had been admonished to refrain from all expressions of accord or disapproval. A stranger woul have felt that the fate of an empire ih cae in the balances. The presiding officer of the Senate arose to speak and a great hush fell upon the assembly. Ears strained to catch every syllable o: his an- nouncement. Each fateful word came, clear and resonant as a bell. He declared that the electoral college had, by a majority of 23 votes, chosen Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey’President of the United States and Thomas R. Marshall of Indi- ana Vice President for the four years beginning March 4, 1917. A great sigh passed through the anxious mul- titude. Then each man hastened home to break the news to his family. a = = * rr The police have traded two spavined horses, a useless colt and 8000 old horseshoes for a new patrol wagon chassis.

BY GEORGE WASHINGTON. “A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well- digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, sup- plies. 3 “However pacific the general policy of a nation may be, it ought never to be without an adequate stock of military knowledge for emergencies, The first would impair the energy of its character an‘ both would hazard its safety or expose it to great- er evils when war could not be avoided; besides that, war might often not depend upon its own choice. * * * Whatever argument may be drawn from particular examples superficially viewed, a thorough ‘examination of the subject will evince that the art of war is at once compre- hensive and complicated, that it demands much previous study, and that the possession of it in its most improved and perfect state is always of great moment to the security of the nation.” * * —— Indeed, some observers profess |; 75 23 7 ee * 5 (at a af * i * . * * * — 0 — 1 * ; . — ¢ j JUST A MINUTE a — —— — FREE VERSE. ET us suppose that all the folk Who love to skate in Forest Park— Who these few weeks have made the lakes And long lagoons one magic scene Of winter sports— Whose laughter rings among the hills, And through the trees— Whose love of life in God’s outdoors Has made their faces bright with zest— Let us suppose that when the sun Resolves the ice again to that Estate in which the gibbous moon Is mirrored softly through the pale, ‘Sweet silences of Summer night, And frogs are out with deep bassoons To render tremulous the dark— Let us suppose that when the hosts Of Spring have passed, And from the crocus to the rose That master pageant of the flowers Has gone its way to leave us still The memory of beauty flown— Let us suppose that all those folk Could swim out there, and where a stream Of water courses through the lakes.

The residents of San Jose, III., have decided to Americanize the town by making one syllable of Jose. They are not, however, to blame. The person who took a fine old Spanish name like San Jose and gave it to a community which confines its bullfight- ing to an occasional round with the butcher's sau- sage is to blame. „Don't you think it is hard to keep neutral on the ‘war? I did think so, but since I have tried to keep neu- _ tral in the trading stamp ruction the war is nothing. Written for the POST-DISPATCH by Clark McAdams — ae ARCHITECTURE IN. ST: LOUIS, HE Art League is soon to announce an award for the most distinctive achievement in architec- ture in the city last year. What is the finest piece of architecture in St. Louis? One of our archi- tects—-not the man who built it—says we have never appreciated the City Hall. That great structure in the style of the celebrated Hotel De Ville he considers one of the great architectural show pieces of St. Louis —something certain of fame in the years to come. Nor is it, in his opinion, merely beautiful, but service- able. What a pity the new Missouri Capitol is to waste its beauty upon as little-frequented a commu- nity as Jefferson City! Placed-in the metropolis of the State, as some capitols are, that superb and beauti- ful structure would be admired by multitudes where one man shall see it up there. But to paraphrase, what chance has art against the natural fear of ex- posing the Legislature to the wickedness of a big city?

Heart disease is believed to have been ‘the cause. — To Relieve Catarrhal Deafness and Head Noises Persons suffering from catarrhal deaf- ness and head noises, will. be. glad, to. know that this distressing affliction can usually be successful treated at home by an internal medicine that in many instances has effected ‘comipfete relief after other treatments have failed. Suf- ferers who could scarcely hear have had their hearing restored to such an extent that the tick of a watch was plainly audible seven or eight inches away from either ear. Therefore, if you know of someone who is troubled with head noises or catarrhal deafness, cut out this formula and hand it to them and you may have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf- ness. The prescription can be prepared at home, and is made as follows: Secure from vour dru geist 1 oz Par- mint (Double Strength), about 75 cents worth. Take this home and add to it % pint of hot water and 4 oz. of granu- lated sugar: stir until dissolved. Take one tablespoonf ul four times a day. Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflamma- tion and swelling in the Eustachian Tubes, and thus to equalize the air pres- sure on the -drum, ut to correct any excess of secretions in the middle ear, and the results it gives are nearly al- ways quick and effective. Every person who has catarrh in any ore should give this recipe a trial.— MEEKER SINGS TO THE HOUSE Entertains 8 Rell Calls When Mann Is Leading Filibuster. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—Filibuster- ing by Republican Leader Mann against a bill to give a Democrat instead of a Republican a nonsalaried membership on the Board of Governors of the Na- tional Soldiers’ Home kept the House in session until near midnight and caused scores of members to be called from bed, theaters and churches by the Sergeant at Arms. Announcement in various theaters that members were wanted immediately at the House start- ed wild war rumors. : Between roll calls, the House and spectators in the galleries were enter- tained by choruses led by Representa- tives Meeker of St. Louis and Burnett of Alabama.

Tells How to Overcoms Watery Blood, Thinness and Wast A Salient Extract From Yolk of Eggs in _-ypo-l-:clane Tablets. Probably three million young men and women are subject to ridicule and embarrassment every day of their lives because of abnormal “skinny” arms, limbs and counte- nances. They wonder why they can- not become plump. The reason is, that nutritive processes need artificial aid until Nature catches up. Realiz- ing this, a good physician obtained a salient extract from the yolks of eggs, combined it with hypophos- phites, iron and simple vegetable tonics, putting all in tablet form, and this wonder-working anutritive- aid is now sold by druggists under the name of Hypo-Nuclane Tablets. One or two packages will prove how quickly they increase weight when taken with meals —if you weigh before beginning.

Such men are needed, urgently needed, now as never before, to direct and manage the great industrial enterprises. When war orders cease, “educated brain power will be needed to adjust business here to new New markets have to be developed, manufacturing methods must be improved, selling and distribution problems have to be handled with maximum economy. Then, too, the competition of Europe after the war has to be met. War has taught the European nations how to intensify production. It has forced the adoption of up-to-date methods; it has developed industrial efficiency. The situation is big with opportunities. Are you equal to it? What is “educated brain power” It is knowledge, broad general knowledge; specific facts and information about many things. It is the mental capacity of a man who has not merely business training, but who is well informed: a man who : acquainted with the world and what is going on; man who reads and studies. 3 Buxton & Skinner 15 306-8 N.

For the Britannica is the ideal source of knowledge. This masterwork, with its 41,000 separate articles on all subjects,is a complete library of facts and information. It discusses manufacture and trade and business with the same thoroughness that it deals with the arts and sciences. It gives you an insight into actual con- ditions in other countries and makes you cosmopolitan in your thinking. It tells you about the debts and credits of nations, and what they will buy or have to sell. It gives you a wider knowledge of your own country, your own state, your own county or city, and their diversified interests. And because the Britannica does all this (and more), you can be a man of “educated brain power.” You can equip yourself for one of the $10,000, $25,000 and $50,000.places that are waiting for the right man now—or will be looking for him in the next few years. You can own the new Britannica. You can have its fund of knowledge always available. Do you realize what an hour a day spent in reading the Britannica would mean to you in a few years? Andrew Carnegie once said. A half hour a day spent on a particular line of study is the best investment any man can make.” i Of the 160,000 sets of the great work already sold, . 100,000 sets are owned and used by business men and women, including the acknowledged leaders in every branch of industry and trade.

SENATE VOTES TO RETAIN PNEUMAMIC TUBE SERVICE Contracts in St, Louis and Other Large Cities Will Be Renewed for One Year, WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—The Senate yesterday voted 4% to 2%, to retain pneu- Matic tube service in St. Louis, New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, and appropriated $1,000,000 therefor. The House appropriated $1,061,000, A Senate committee amendment adopt- ed makes it Mandatory upon the post- master general to renew the pneumatic tube contracts for one year from July 1, next, and provides for the appoint- ment of a commission to investigate the tube systems, with a view to their pur- chase by the Government for future op- eratior. In opposing the amendment, Senator Reed said that he was not prepared to say that the pneumatic tubes should be abolished, and if that was the sole ques- tion at issue, he would hesitate before voting against them. He said, however, that the question had been evolved as to whether the Government without dis- cretion, should be compelled to continue them at the present alleged exorbitant contract price, or purchase them. Sen- ator Stone of Missouri also voted ‘against the amendment. AUTO OVERTURNED IN CRASH WITH ANOTHER MACHINE Driver and Passenger Are Slightly Hurt—-Twe Women Struck by Other Cars.

Also, in behalf of the American League, Ban Johnson has repeatedly stated that no overtures from the Fraternity will be considered. McGraw talked with Fultz, not as a representative of organized Base- ball, but merely as one individual to another. He carried no message from the Fraternity, but merely a personal assurance from Fultz that, if the layers could be protected, he would ormally release them from their pledges. President Tener of National League stated that there would be no dis- crimination against any player on account of his connection with or allegiance to the Fraternity, and said that he was perfectly willing to give his personal assurance to that ef- fect. No Assurances From A. L. President Johnson of the American League said that no assurance would be given to the Fraternity; of any sort, but that all players looked alike to his league, and that if a man re- ported in time to go to his training camp he would be taken care of by He also said that there was a clause in the 1917 contract which precluded any discrimination against a man be- cause he belonged to the fraternity. As Fultz, in his conversation with McGraw, made absolutely no demands or requests for the fraternity, but merely asked an assurance on behalf of the players, as individuals, the atti- tude of the two leagues should be sat- isfactory to him in his effort to care for hig men. Browns’: Big Right-Hander, in Hospital, but Hopes to Join Training Squad. port, tlie Browns’ star right-hander, who was accidentally shot while re- placing a 30-30 rifle in its case at his home in Runge, Tuesday evening, was able today to talk to his friends, who visited him in a hospital here. An X-ray examination by physicians yesterday, revealed the fact that the wounds were not necessarily of a dan- gerous nature, unless complications set i n. Davenport said he expected to join the Browns in training quarters at Pal- estine, three weeks hence. That he wasn’t instantly killed, Dav- enport explains, was due to the fact that the bullet.was deflected by a watch which he carried. The watch was shat- tered and parts of it cut Davenport's ce. The bullet entered under the lower ribs on his left side and ranged up- ward, coming out below his collar bone. It then passed into his jaw and grazec his eyebrow, but didn’t injure the eye. Davenport was accompanied here b/ his wife and baby, who are constantly with him. Interstate League Meets. At a meeting of the Interstate Base- ball League held last night it was de- cided to hold another gathering in March, at which time the eight clubs to make up the circuit for the coming campaign will be selected.

A special two-man match of 10 games, total pins to count, which is sure to create more interest than any staged ir this city in some time, has been arranged for next Saturday night, when Oscar Whitehead and Otto Stein bowl Harry Rood and Jule Schmitt. Five games will be. rolled at the Washington and the other five at either the De Soto Pine or Peter- son's. These four pintopplers are ranked right with the best in the city. Rood at present is leading in the Greater St. Louis individual tourney at Peter- son’s, while Schmitt and Whitehead are close up. Stein is considered by many the special match bowler in the city and last season there was a [great race to see who could “knock Stein off.“ Whitehead’s rolling with Stein is something of a novelty as in all pre- vious matches in which the two have been interested, they have been op- ponents, Every one is a 190 average bowler. Rood Meets Schierbaum. Harry Rood, the prese t. leader in the Greater St. Louis individual bowling tournament at Peterson’s alleys is scheduled to meet Dan Schierbaum in the feature event scheduled for tonight. Schierbaum has shot good tenpins in his last few matches and recently was returned the winner over Wooster Lam- bert. Rood in his last match trounced Jule Schmitt, averaging better than 200. The complete schedule for tonight is as follow: Nag vs. Willis, 8 o' clock: Bryan vs. Randall, 8 o'clock; Cassin vs. Grosse, 8:45 o’clock; Rood vs. Schier - baum, 8:45 o’clock; Hoefle vs. Vahren- horst, 9:30 o’clock. Vierheller and Partner Win. “Hap” Vierheller and Oscar White head were returned the winners in their 10-games total pir.s to count match, with Fred Niedringhaus and Ad Giessow, staged last night by 23 pins, the totals bethge 3701 to 3078. Five games were rolled at.Peterson’s and _ the other five at the Vernon Alleys. Vierheller was the star of the match averaging 195.9. Whitehead nad 174.2, Giessow 189 and Niedringhaus 178.8. McELWEE TAKES WORKOUT WITH TANGLED C. SQUAD “Pink” McElwee, the high school bas- ketball star and member of the Colum- bian A.

This just about quiets the rumors that the player had decided to quit the Tangled C. The workout. of the team last night was held under the directions of Pad- dy Fitzgerald, athletic director, Coach Charley Reber being under the care of a physician.

U. Medical School. How the United States submarine F-4 was lost in Hawalian waters and other interesting facts about the history and operation of undersea fighting craft, were explained Tuesday night by Lieut. "Bari R. Morrissey of the United States navy in an illustrated lecture at tho Washington University Medical School, under the auspices of the Washington University Association. Lieut. Morris- has served o years on subma- rines, having been second in command of the D-3, and will be attached to the Las soon as it is completed. . A lengthwise sectional view of a sub_ marine of the F-4 type was thrown on the screen while the lecturer pointed out the cause of the accident which cost the lives of the boat’s entire crew. He showed how immense storage batteries were arranged beneath the floor of the boat and how directly under these were water compartments, the filling and emptying of which regulate the bouy- ancy of the submarine for diving. What Wreckage Disclosed. An examination of the wreckage dis- closed, he said, that acid had slopped ' over from the batteries, reaching the metal walls of the water compartments below and eating holes in them. When the boat submerged, therefore, water leaked through to the battery compart- ments and the compressed air apparatus was made powerless to empty the water tanks in the effort to rige. The F-4 then went deeper and deeper until the pressure become so great that it crushed in her hull. To recover the les of the crew—and only four of em ever were identified—divers. had to descend 303 feet, probably the greates“ ocean depth ever successfully penetrat- ed. The pressure at that depth was sc great that the divers had to be brought up to normal pressure again with ex- treme care and kept in special rooms for several hours before being able to go about in ordinary atmosphere. An unfortunate result, he said, was that nearly all the divers are now Phys ical wrecks, one having tuberculosis, another’s body being crunched in and the mind of a third being affected. He related other incidents of fatal acci- dents with submarines, and said that ail that is known about the boats has been Jearned in that way. After an accident, the cause is determined, if possible, and remedied in future construction. "The ‘“fool-proof’’ submarine has al- most been achieved, he declared, illus- trating with a story of his boat getting Stuck in the mud. The mechanism had failed to work properly and the ves- del had goné Gown more than 100 feet. After she struck the mud the com pressed air was got to working and all the water tanks were blown empty. The bouyancy thus obtained should have had _ great.lifting power, but the mud still held. The motors were started, causing the boat to squirm in the mud. Sudden- h she pulled loose and shot upward so rapidly that she was lifted half way out * the water dy the momentum. History of Submarines. Submarine history goes back some eenturies, he said. The first undersea boat of which any description is avail- able was a one-man affair invented by u man named Bushnell in 1775. It hada hand propeller and a foot pump for ex- . pelling the water when the boat was ready to rise after submerging. The de- structive mechanism of the boat was 1 1 two-fold—a large auger in the top could be used to bore a hole in the hull of an ‘enemy ship provided the submarine suc- ~, Seeded in getting directly beneath the enemy, or a buoyant wooden cask of . could be released under the "enemy, with fuse set to explode the by the time the cask had risen =, to the hull of the ship. That is, Inventor Bushnell thought it “would work that way, but when George — commissioned him to sink a British ship in East River his contrap- tion bungled around and made so much noise that disaster overtook it. Non, of steamboat: fame; also trie hand at a submarine and construct- a craft which he offered to Napo- to sink the British fleet, he said. sreat French General, he said, re- him a commission, declaring that who would sink a ship in that was not worthy of an honorable ‘title, but declared it would be worth the inventor’s trouble if he went out his own hook and the warships down. Of course, he said the speaker. Submarines were used in the Civil q War, he sald, and a Confederate boat said. He showed pictures of the Deutschland and other German and British submarines and photographs of the wake of a torpedo and also of the British nets spread to capture the under- sea boats. * — — — eee —— — — ,,, —— - — P- ö — * = — — — — ne nee — leer’ reels . etc..

So the theorists had reasoned. -What they had not .aken into account was that cgnservatism in naval affairs for eight long years which had been the result, partly of the reaction from the strenuous life and partly from the enor- mous cost of the canal, which had di- verted the nation’s dollars from other directions and left our navy far behind in the race for supremacy of the seas. As the world knows, the enemy’s first a ce had been off Colon, but, to the wireless ‘‘feelers,”” its fieet had been discovered some 36 hours before, and the Pacific squadron, which nad anticipated this move and lay in readiness off Panama, was successfully brought through the canal and formed in line with the Atlantic squadron. So far, the theorists had been vindl- cated. Then had come that awful revelation of the Caribbean, when beneath the fires of the new 17-inch guns our ships had been held at arm’s length and sent to the bottom, like bo many perforated tomato cans, without seriously scarring Barly in the evening of that disas- trous day the conquering leviathans had steamed singly and majestically through the long sea level stretch to thé first of those great steps which rose to the level of the lakes. This great victory had laid open to them the Pacific coast. Yet, if they were to enjoy. its fruits, they must waste no time. So, that same night the huge battle- ships and cruisers, which tested the capacity of the thousand-foot locks, rote upward to the lakes. A few hours more and they would descend. as. they had ascended, only into the wide waters of the Pacific. ’ But in that time of their exultation a David was already picking the stones for his sling far up the hillside of the Culebra. It was by a strange turn of fortune that the greatest stroke of the war— that which paralyzed the arm of one of the most powerful maritime nations in the world and brought peace on its heelg—should have been performed neither by sailor nor soldier, but by one who might have been called a non- combatant until that one great oppor- tunity had offered. Baldwin was chief of the. resident engineers. Every foot of the canal was as familiar to him as the three rooms of his bungalow. Through the rainy season he guarded the swollen waters of the Chagres as ‘a vigilant keeper guards a savage beast; through the dry months he n its every drop. Its strength and its weaknesses lay before him an open book. The one he had gloried in, the other deplored, until this day when the ews of that defeat had been tele- phoned to him. . Then an idea had come to the engi- ir which left him strangely licht- 4 headed, and which had for its working which fed all the stretches above those of the sea level.
