Sommer of 3938 Hartford street, well known in German turnverein circles and until a few months ago sec- retary of the Holman Paper Box Co., was arrested today on a bench warrant issued by Judge Rassieur on an indict- ment charging embezzlement, grand lar- ceny and forgery. Accountants. have discovered, As- sistant Circuit Attorney Feehan an- nounced, that Sommer is short $12,000 in his accounts for the year 1916. The in- vestigation has not gone back of the year 1916. Sommer was first arrested Dec. 30 at the request of Circuit Atorney Harvey, on information placed in his hands by John B. Holman, president of the com- pany, and was released on a $6000 com- mon law bond to answer any charge that might be brought. Joseph Mount, a saloonkeeper, who :s on his $6000 bond, asserted he would not go on his bond for an increased amount. Sommer, after his arrest, telephoned to friends in an effort to obtain a bonds- man... He was released bond Bigned by two liquor dealers. Feehan says that the evidence dis- covered by the accountants indicates that al] three of the crimes, embezzle- ment, grand larceny and forgery hava been committed. Several checks, he says, were found, to which the name of Holman had been forged. Sommer refusec to discuss the charges. Heretofore he has said that if there was any discrepancy in his accounts it was solely a matter of bookkeeping.

At least 14 States which have prohibition laws, but do not prohibit the importation of certain quantities of liquor for personal use, will be made bone dry by the new law which prohibits the importation of liquor into any State that prohibits “its manufacture and sale.“ State legislation, recently passed, and about to become effective within the next few weeks, will increase the number of bone dry states to at least 33.

WAR STEP WITHOUT AN EXTRA SESSION Lets It Be Known He Will Only Summon Congress in Event of Great Crisis. PUSHES REVENUE. BILLS President Bending Every Effort to Have Appropriation Meas- ures Passed. * WASHINGTON, Marcht 3.—- President Wilson has no intention of taking action that would bring war with Germany without calling Congress in extra ses- sion. This was communicated to Senate leaders today by representatives of the President, who take the position that if no extraordinary crisis arises it will not be necessary to call an extra session be- fore late in the spring, and then only to pass any appropriation bills which may fail at the present session. The President today continued efforts to persuade Republican Senators to as- sist in the passage of needed appropria- tion bills during the present session. These Senators were told by representa- tives of the President that their argu- ment that Congress should remain ing session because of the German situation was not logical, because he naturally would take no action leading to a dec- laration of war without the co-operation of Congress. The President was represented as feel- ing deeply the tmplication back of the éffort to force an extra session. He de- sired the important appropriation bills passed at this session so that if an extra session is forced by the German situation, Congress could begin work immediately on emergency measures. It became known that the President will seek an opportunity in the near fu- ture to* make his position clear. His representative at the Capitol were told early today that some Republican Sena- tors were insisting in blocking the ap- propriation measures in order to force an extra session. Inaugural Address Ready. For a while, it was said, it looked as though the Administration’s efforts to get action on the army appropriation bill, the military academy bill and a few other important measures would be successful, but finally two or three of the Republican leaders would not give their consent to such an arrangement. The President completed his inaugura: address today and it is understood that the foreign situation is the principai subject dealt with. The President, both by telephone and through direct representatives was In constant communication with the Capito] today. President Wilson made another of his personal visits to the State, War and Navy Building today and, first conferred with Secretary Baker. Aft- er his call on Secretary Baker, Presi- dent Wilson said. that “it had noth- ing to do with Europe at all.” PRESIDENT TO TAKE OATH TOMORROW Will Be Sworn In at Capitol at Noon and Again on Monday. WASHINGTON, Wilson will take the oath of office for his second term in his room at the Capi- tol at noon Sunday. It will be admin- istered by Chief Justice White of the Supreme Court. Mr. Wilson plans to go to the, Capitol shortly bef®re noon to sign bills and therefore decided it would be impracticable to take the oath of of- fice in the White House as was at first contemplated. While no special invitations for the ceremony at the capitol have been issued, members of Mr. Wilson's Cabinet will be with him, advising him on bills passed in the closing tours of Congress. The President has decide@ to take the oath’ again on Monday in front of the capitol just before he deliv- ers his inaugural address. When he goes from the White House to the Capitol Monday he will ride betwen two continuous khaki- clad lines... Those will be formed from the men of the Twe.fth and Sixty-ninth New York Regiments, veterans of the Mexican —. patrol service. These two regiments are now on their way north from the Mexican border. They were ordered to stop off in Washington. When the Presidential party has returned to the White House, the two regiments will fall in Une and will march in review before the Pres- Wan taxes and bond issues.

Heiberg, American military attache at Rome, was killed accidentally Thurs- day when riding on the Italian front.

BILL TO TAKE WATERWORKS FROM STATE CONTROL PASSED Kinney Measure Approved by Senate — GQtves St. Louis Right to Fix Rates. JEFFERSON CITY. March 3.— The Senate today passed Senator Kinney’s bill. which has the support of St. Louis business orgenizations, to take the St. Louls water plant from under | the control of the State Public’ Ser- | vice Commission. If the pill is | passed by the House the Commission | will have no authority to regulate | St. Louis water rates. The commission revently issued an order probibiting the city from granting reduced rates to induce fac- tories to locate in St. Louis, and it was to overcome thie restriction that the bill was introduced. : NEGRO GIRL JUSTIFIED IN KILLING "MAN, CORONER'S JURY FINDS Housemesn Was i: wren ‘and Threet- ened Women Employer, Latter 4 Testifies, A Coroner's jury today found that Margaret Wilson, 16 years old, a negro housemaid, employed by Mra.

WASHINGTON, March 3.—Congress adjourns tomorrow with control of the next House still in dispute. As a result of the death of Representative Conry of New York last night, the Republicans appear to have the lead, with 215 votes assured, while the Democrats have only 214. Three newly elected Democrats are reported seriously ill. No successor to Conry will be elected before November, it is believed. Five members of the incoming Con- gress are classed as Independents.“ If a special session is called, it appears that the Republicans will have the ad- vantage. As a majority, 218 members, are necessary to selection of a Speaker, Democrats are not without hope. About a dozen wet Northern Demo- crats have split with the Southern “dry” leaders, and yesterday defeated a ju- diciary bill desired by Southern Demo- crats. 4 Representative Conry was re-elected for a fifth term. He died here late yes- terday from kidney trouble. He was 47 years old. LOTS RENTED FOR GARDENS One Alton Man Has Leased 150 -at 75 Cents Each the Season.

TELLS OF ALLEGED “PLOT” BY U. S. IN SOUTH AMERICA» a Declares American Newspaper Man Said U. 4 Was Waiting Only for Proper Moment in Order Opportunely to Assist- the Entente. 1 ˙ R AO 5 — et i edie 2 ee . — * BERLIN, March 3, by wireless to Sayville— The When was given out today by the Overseas News Ageney (the official German news bureau): Foreign Secretary Zimmermann was asked by a staff mew. ber of the Overseas News Agency about the English report that ‘a German plot had been revealed to get Mexico to declare war against the United States and to secure Japan’s aid against the United States.’ Secretary Zimmermann answered: ‘*You understand that it is impossible for me to discuss the facts of this ‘revealed plot’ just at this moment and under these circumstances. I therefore may be allowed to limit my answer to what is said in the Eu- 4 glish reports, which certainly are not inspired by sympathy with Ger- many. The English report expressly states that Germany expected and wished to remain on terms of friendship with the United States, but that we had prepared measures of defense in case the United States declared war Against Germany. I fail to see how such a ‘plot’ is inspired by un friendliness on our part. It would mean nothing but that we would use means universally admitted in war, in case the United States declared war. „The most important part of the alleged plot is its condition aud form. The whole ‘plot’ falls flat to the ground in case the Usited Statcs does not declare war against us, And if we really, as the report alleges, considered the possibility of hostile acts of the United States: ‘against us, then we really bad reason to do so. Says American “Plot” Was Revealed. „An Argentine newspaper a short while ago really ‘revealed « plot when it told that the United States last year suggested to other Ameri- can republies common action against Germany and her allies. This ‘plot’ apparently was not conditional in the least. The news as pub lished by La Prensa (Buenos Aires), agrees well with the interpretation given, for instance, by an American newspaper man, Edward Price, io Berlin and London, who said that the United States was waiting only for the proper moment in order opportunely to assist the entente. „The same American stated that Americans from the beginning of the war really participated in it by putting the immense resources of the United States at the entente’s disposal, and that Americans had set de clared war only because they felt sure that assistance by friendly neu- trality would be during that time much more efficient for the enteste than direct participation in the war. Whether this American newspaper man reported the facts exactly we were at a loss to judge ip satisfactory fashion, since we were more or less completely cut off from communica. tion with the United States. “Not Frivolous to Consider Defense Measures.” „But there were other facts which seemed to confirm this and otber assurances. Everybody knows these facts and I need not repest them. The entente propaganda services have sufficiently heralded all these pro-entente demonstrations in the United States. And if you Mak there demonstrations with the actual attiuSe of the United States then t & obvious that it was not frivolous on our part to consider what defeusive measures we should take in case we were attacked by the United States The version of the Zimmermann statement cabled from London gives the. narw of the American newspaper cvrrespondent seferred to by the German Foreign Secretary as Edward Price Bell, instead of Edward Price. Séward Price Beil is the name of the Lon don correspondent of the Chicago Daily News.

TOKIO, Friday, March 2.—The dec- laration of the Japanese Government through Foreign Minister Viscount Motono that Japan has received nq proposition from Mexico or Germany to join in a possible war against the United States, was supplemented to- day in a statement made to the As- sociated Press on behalf of the Gov- ernment by Kijuro Shidehara, Vice Foreign Minister. “We were greatly surprised to hear of the German propogal,” he said. “We cannot imagine what Ger- many is thinking about to conceive that she could possibly involve us in war with the United States by merely asking Mexico. This is too ridicu- lous for words. Needless to say, Japan remains faithful to her allies.” In response to a question regard- ing Japan's attitude toward the anti- Japanese measures which were brought forward in Idaho and Ore- gon, M. Shidehara said he had especially requested newspapers to refrain from inflammatory comment, advising that the matter be left for treatment through diplomtaic chan- nels. It was noticeable that the agi- tation did not approach that of the time the matter was brought up in C-lifornia in 1913, an? it is doubtful whether the masses of the people were even cognizart of the Oregon and Idaho Dilis. “Of course, we registered objec- tions to the bills on the ground that they were discriminatory,” M. Shide- hara continued. “Japan is convinced Secretary Lansing has done every- thing possible to prevent the passage of the measures, but regrets the ap- parent revival of an anti-alten mess- ure in one State. We realize the em- barrassment of the Central Govern- ment owing to the system of State rights, but it is our duty to protect the dignity, honor and interests of Japanese subjects.” Mexican Sympathy fer Watebte, Says Carranza Minister ig Paris. PARIS, March 3.—Luis Quintanilla, the new Mexican Minister, says in the Temps: ‘ “Germany thought Mexico would be able to serve her views. The war has brought into my country a considerable number of Germans who, since 1014, have made an admirable campaign in favor of their cause; I cannot qualify it otherwise than as admifabdie. They founded newspapers and they @istrib- mted considerable sums for propaganda to lead opinion astray. Nevertheless, they have not succeeded, and the sym- pathies of Mexicans generally are for the entente allies.”’ GREEK GRAIN SHIP SUNK Had Been Requisitionegd by Govers- ment te Ge te America. LONDON, March 3.—Reuter’s Tele- gtam Co. says the Greek steamship Proconissos of 2769 tens gross, which had been requistioned by the Greek royalist Government to go to Ameri- ca for 5000 tons of grain for the as- sistancs of the royalist population of “old Greece,” has been torpedoed and sunk vy a German submarine. According to the latest maritime records the Proconnissos was trans- ferred from Greek registry to the French flag and renamed Verdus.

CONSTANTLY WATCHED Vigil Was Relaxed After Suspi- cious Characters in Neigh- borhood Vanished. Police today let it be known that in June, 1915, four detectives for sev- eral weeks kept guard: over Frank Viviano, now held by abductors for $50,000 ransom under threat of cut- ting off his head. The 8-year-old son of Gaetano Viviano, a wealthy maca- roni manufacturer, vanished after leaving his home, 6855 Waterman avenue, ‘Thursday morning, for St. Boch's Parbchial School, 6048 Water- man avenue. The boy’s parents, in fear that some harm might come to him, had em- ployed a maid to accompany him to and from school. On two successive mornings she saw two Italians sitting on a bridge over the River des Peres, and thought they were eyeing her and her charge., An appeal was made to the police. Watched by Patrélmen, Two patrolmen in plain clothes were assigned to the vicinity, and two detectives, in an automobile, for a number of mornings followed the boy as he Walked to school. On their so that it might be thought he was unattended. The child frequently laughed at the detectives, saying: I'd like to see any blackhander get me.“ No attempt was made to molest the boy, and after two or three weeks the detectives gave up their vigil. The maid continued to guard him between his home and the school until a few weeks ago, when, the police announced,. Frank .in- sisted to his parents that he was big enough to take care of himself. After that, he was permitted to go back and forth alone. cover whether Guiseppi Viviano, a dis- tant relative of the Vivianos, has re- turned to the United States. He was twice deported by the immigration au- thorities on suspicion that he was im- plicated in “Black Hand” plots. The first time he was deported to Costa Rica, but made his way back to St. Louls through a Southern port. The second deportation cccurred in 1911. Viviano Silent as to Pians. Guetano Viviano refused during the morning to answer questions as to whether he has $50,000 available, and whether he would be willing to sur- render it to get his sun back. His brother, Samuel Viviano, who lives in the same bicck on Waterman avenue. said he was taking no unusual precau- tions to guard his two children, Grace, 2% years old, and Frank, 1%. Mrs. Viviano gave to a Post-Dis- patch reporter a detailed description of her son as he appeared when she last saw him. She said that the only mark on his body was a circular scar, about one-fourth of an inch in diam- eter, in the center of his forehead about an inch above the nose. It was caused by a fall when he was a year old. One tooth is missing, a molar at the left side of the lower jaw. He wore on the third finger of the left hand a signet ring, bearing his initials, F. V.“ He wore a “pepper and salt” suit, with knickerbocker, gathered at the knee; the coat was pleated in the back and had a belt sewed to the garment. He hac a tight-fitting overcoat, with pleats in the back, and a belt. His cap was de- scribed as having a yellow band and a black top, surmounted by a tassel. He wore black buttoned shoes and black Stockings His waist was white, with a detacha- tie, soft silk collar, white with purple tripes. He wore a four-in-hand tie, blue with yellow stripe. He is about three feet tall, and nas dark browr a~air, eye- brows and eyes, with an olive complex ion. His hair, according to his mother, was brushed back in a pompadour. On the afternoon of the boy's disap- pearance, his father received a letter in Italian signed “The Black Hand,” in which he was warned against uppealings to the police because if we sec the force after us, your son will be decapitated without loss of time.“ He was «rdered to surrender $50,000 us soon as possible,” but there were no directions at to how ard to whom the money should be paid. Details of policemen continue to search the downtown Italian quarter and the district known as Dago Hill,“ west of King’s highway and south of Market street, but have found no one who will admit having seen the boy. He is a cousin of Grace and Tom Viviano, chil- dren of firet cousins, both named Pietro Viviano, who were abducted and held for $2,000 ransom in 190. They were found two months later in Chicago. The Vivianos denied they paid the money to recover their children. The abductors were never caught.

In recent years the Civic League of St. Louis has been very @lligently to create a civic pride among the citizens of St. Louis, and have not lost @n opportunity to imbue the people with that spirit, which is all very commendable and some- thing of which I heartily approve. Now, we have a man who is seeking the highest office within the gift of the citizens of St. Louis placariing his picture on all available trolley, r posts, not only in the down- town section but through the entire city, making advertising a carnival or clrous parade. our downtown streets look as though we were Are we going backward to the village type by permitting actions of this kind? | I think every -oltisen of St. Louis who has the pride of ita city at heart, should refuse to support this man untl he has every one of these placards taken off and the place where the placards were pasted restored A MERCHANT. to their former condition.

Could we hope for fidelity to American interests from all of our Southern neighbors against so powerful a combination? Could we hope for continued resistance on the part of Japan to greatly increased temptation? All of these are possibilities which we must take into account and which should govern our action. We should think of more than merely our security from invasion—we must think of the fate of democracy. We know nowthe triumph of Germany and her allies in Hurope would menace democracy throughout the world. The principles embodied in the Germanic Governments are directly an- tagonistie to the principles embodied in our own Government and in Ahe Governments of Great Britain and France. The issue of autocracy and despotism against democracy and republicanism ia clear cut. The success of the arms of the central Powers would mean the domination of German autocracy in Hurope and of Turkish despotism in Asia. The sword of the Kaiser and the sword of islam would strike down democracy as far as they could reach. | America would be confronted with a desperate struggle for national life and for the preservation of democratic principles in human government. We would face, if not humiliation and destruc- tion, Years of heavy armament and incalculable sacrifices of blood and treasure. What of the Monroe Doctrine? What of re- publicanism in the Americas? Let us face the situation with our eyes open. In view of these contingencies, what is our duty to ourselves and to mankind—what fs the wisest course we can pursue? Is it not to prevent German victory? Is it not to safeguard our own sovereignty and vital in- teresti by using all our might to check the Ger- man will to conquer and to destroy the military power that may be used against us? The mere resistance to German submarines which we are contemplating is an incident in comparison with our real task. We should stop paltering and dallying and go te work with supreme will and energy. Having been forced into the position of an enemy of Germany, we should give all the aid in our power to the nations that are fighting Ger- many. The more effectively we ald them, the less our danger and effort hereafter. Above all, we must prepare for any contingency i it 4 1 i! dl — * — 2 — * $ a of 2 _ world-wide scope. But in the “middle of Janu- ary,” Germany, to whose eagerness for peace we were giving sympathy and support, was infa- mously plotting to array a part of our own con- tinent against us. Three days before the President made that lofty plea in the Senate to insure for Germany the blessings of a “peace without victory,” Ger- many sent the detestable proposal to our neigh- bors, inciting them to involve us in war. We have heard much about the historic friend- ship between Germany and the United States enduring since the days of Frederick the Great and Washington. We have faithfully maintained, under intolerable provocation, the traditions of that friendship. Does history furnish a more odious example of perfidy, practiced under the disguise of friendship, than is furnished in Ger- many’s conduct toward the United States? * — 4 The Turks are reported to be fleeing, bag and baggage, toward Bagdad. THE HIGHEE CONSERVATION. Under “conservation” are described policies of rapidly extending scope having powerful support in public opinion. The one important measure of this character before the sitting Legislature does not urge the State to more zealous action as a conservator of mines and water power and fisheries and timber and soil fertility. Those objects are important, but this is a measure of the higher conservation. Missouri's wealth in human material, its capital in citizenship, its resources in the coming genera- tion, are what it is designed to conserve. An official commission under appointment from the Governor two years ago has painstakingly prepared a proposed system of laws for the chil- dren of Missouri, made up of a codification of present wise statutes of which they are the bene- fielaries and supplemented with new enactments. No bar to the adoption of the children’s code is found in the State's fiscal difficulties. It m- volves no issue between machine or anti-ma- chine legislators. It embodies no points on which men differ as Democrats and Republicans, or as members of factions in either party. . In fact, its prospects of enactment are not clouded by any of the circumstances threatening the defeat of other meritorious legislation in a rather complicated situation at Jefferson City. May not those who prepared the code have as- surance that their gracious task has not been in vain? May not citizens generally have assur- ance of a more scrupulous State guardianship of children in need of guardianship than has been vouchsafed in past years? * 8 The price of ice is going up. What's the dif- ference? There's nothing in the icebox, anyway. oe oe MORE PAY FOR LEGISLATORS. A resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution increasing the pay of legislators from ‘$5 to $10 a day has been received’ with some favom at the State capital. Why not re- move the public’s natural prejudice against such a plan and show that legislators are worth the suggested higher pay by passing the bill for a revision of the Constitution? Then, having passed the bill, the Legislature could leave the salaries amendment and other tinkering amendments to the delegates to the revision convention. = = i i With eggs down to thirty cents a dozen it is probable that those 600 St. Loulsans holding out on their income tax will now come in. The citizen looks to his Government to pro- tect the honor of the nation in which he as a citizen shares. If the nation fails to fulfill its obligations, each citizen feels, or ought to feel, humiliated. But the demand is recip- rocal. If the citizen has the right to demand citizen of the land that that citizen ts able and qualified physically and mentally to give. And no nation deserves to exist, and no nation can exist, unless that reciprocal obligation between the Government and the citizen ia | fairly well recognized, 4 a An a YZ YP / fb Ee 95 ‘ rg M meg a GN Ol tO Og .

Veils, scarfs, gloves and hand- kerchiefs should be placed in the top tray and in little cases and bags, if pos- sible. The safest way to carry mirrors is to wrap them in folds of thick cloth- ing. The last direction is: Unpack your trunk as soon as possible after arriving at your destination and hang gowns and suits in an airy place, if you can, be- fore putting them away in closets. “One word about tags.

MARGUERITE MOOERS MARSHALL, wT. HE first thing American women have to give in time of war ia the thing all women have to give always—their sons.“ The woman who in all the United States has the most appallingly intimate knowledge of what modern warfare means offered me that grim reminder yesterday. She is Mary Roberts Rinehart, author of the funniest American farce, the most ingenious and thrilling Ameri- can. detective stories, several charm- ing vomances, and Kings, Queens and deen the story of Mrs. Rinehart's adyentures at the front and the most N id realaistic and remarkable book ebout the great war yet published. The tale of her wanderings reads liksa the fervid dream of a novice girl report- er. The author of Kings, Queens and Pawns’ Js the apotheosis 4 the Ameri- can woman, in whose bright lexicon s no such word as rail.“ She .crossed the English Channel as a stowaway. She went to the firing line in a motor car with the first scouts. She took a three-mile walk through No Man’s Land, the deadly, shell-strewn strip between Belgian and German out- posts. She was in Dunkirk during its worst bombardment. She interviewed King Albert of the Belgians and Queen Mary of England. She got her stuff“ yearning compassiong her bottomless dis- gust for what she calls “the filthiness of war.” “Grandeur ef War” Is Gone From Her Tt it all summed up in one pregnant sentence, ending her account of a moon- light visit to the Belgian trenches—la- goons filled with dead bodies. “Any lin- gering belief I may have had in the grandeur and glory of war.“ she says, “djed that night beside that silver lake died of an odor, and will never live again.” ¢ “We have heard so Many eager prom- ises from American women these last anxious days,“ I said. “No one has had a better opportunity than you, Mis. Rinehart, to see what other women hav done in the war. What can we really do?” It was significant that she spoke first of the crucial sacrifice which the wom- en in every patriotic society have been pushing into the darkest corner of their minds and trying to forget. As Stephen Chalmers has just writ ten in a noble poem, this is the time stalks abroad and ten- th Pt) ; WAR WOULD DEMOCRATILE women mth we To 80 and kept, somehow, her sanity, her, day type of match was, however, taken is the mother of a. grown-up son, Mrs. Rinehart has smooth, pink cheeks anda a trim figure. She is feminine, but not feline; womanly, but not womanish; and I didn’t wonder that on the western front everybody gave her her way. “But, of course, there will pe so much that Ameri¢an women can do besides making the supreme sacrifid’’’ she went on, after a moment. “First, let me say that I have abso- lutely no patience with the pyrotech- nical woman patriot. It is perfectly silly lor women to clamor about driv ing motor ambulances or steering aeroplanes. These. women’s classes in wigwagging are too absurd! There will be men who can do these things bet- ter than any woman—men who are too old or too weak to be used in the. trenches. „In war American women can do wom- en’s work, sublimated women’s work. They can feed and warm and cheer and soothe the hurt. They should accustom themselves to the sight of blood a take courses in practical nursing. And they should not be afraid of getting dirty. In war there is no place for the woman who cannot go down on her hands and knees and scrub a floor—ani scrub it clean! The woman who mereiv longs to be picturesque had better keep out of the way. 4 “For war is filthy!’ I wish my type- writer could in some way reproduce for you the stress Mrs. Rinehart put on her adjective. ‘‘War may be just,“ she added: “that which seems approaching us is supremely just, for we have en- dured all that the most magnanimous nation could endure. But war is beast- ly, gTimy, full of horrors. Half the work of a trained nurse, especially a war unspeakable. I am a graduate nurse myself, and I know. “England was fortunate in that so many of its women were trained for nursing. Such training was a fad with well-to-do Englishwomen for years be- fore the war. Many of our women must learn to be nurses. But thoge who can- not nurse can cook, can niake soft, clean clothes and bandages. At every station in France where trains of wounded stopped, women were ready with warm, nourishing food. Those who could not care for wounds could dress the wounded in clean garments. Helping and Heng Quick Is Wom- ~ gen’s Mission. „Such work is exhaustifg. It makes great demands on the physical strength, and it is an even greater strain on one’s heart. One simply cannot think of the families of men with shattered faces and limbs. One can think only of help- ing—and helping quick.“ “Besides nursing, could not our women fill many of the positions left vacant by men called to the colors?” I asked. “American women would be splendid in industry and business if war came, she agreed cordially. “They already are trained for so many things, and they have initiative, independence, executive ability. I think men are holding many jobs which women should fill, in peace as well as in war, setting the men free for men’s work. They ought not to be car- rying pitchers of ice water around a ho- tel, or to be selling silk and ribbons. There's a big job ahead of us,” Mrs. Rinehart finished, simply and seriously. No conceivable amount of preparedness on the part of men or women will be too much. I'm not afraid of Admiral Peary’s airships that will destroy New fire’ being seen in the Illustrations of some of the works of Fielding, Smollet and Charies Lever. ¢ , The first big step toward the present in the year 186, when Henri Chancel, chief assistant to Thenard, the famous French chemist, invented an elaborate apparatus consisting of a small bottle of asbestos and strong sulphuric acid ‘with accompanying wood splints, which were coated with sulphur and tipped with a mixture ef chloride of potash and sugar, the matches, brought into contact with the sulphuric acid in the bottle, thus immediately bursting into flame. ; Twenty-two years later John Walker, an apscure druggist of Stockton-on- Tees, Durham, introduced the first match to be lighted by friction and known as the Congreve. This match, named after Sir Willlam Congreve, the inventor of the rocket which bears his name, consisted of wooden splints of sticks on cardboard coated with sulphur would have been in ruins two years ago. ‘But I believe German submarines are already on their way across the @cean, ready to come to the surface and work havoc with our shipping the instant war is declared. Germany has been dramat- ic’ (‘‘melodramatic,” I amended) “all through the war and she won't stop now. “Every American woman, if she is worthy of the name, will give her son td her country. But every American woman has the right to make two de- mands upon her country. One of these two is universa] service made a law be- fore the war begins. That is the only way to treat mothers fairly, to avoid thé earlysacrifice of our boys of blood and fire. The other justifiable demand of the American woman—aend I wish you would put all the emphasis you can — 1s that the American Government shall take good care of its boys, shall give them the right food, uniforms, nursing, protection. The mother who gives everything has the right to ask on this point,” the mother-voice urged {| eee FO OR ER en JT —ʃEd•—tiT!!

Claiming Foul; Morris Had Big Lead at Time NEW YORK, March 3.—Joe Bonds, after having all the worst of it, was knocked into a sitting position on the lower rope in the fifth-round of his bout with Carl Morris at the Harlem Sport- ing Club last night by a left-hand y punch. Bonds immediately set up a cry that he had been struck low. The ref- eree, Tex O'Rourke, bent over Bonds but d not count him out. Bonds sald that he was unable to get up and promptly slipped to the floor, where he continued to grimace as if in great pain. Morris walked back to his corner to await de- velopments. The club’s official physi- cian examined Bonds and decided that Bonds had been struck low. Two husky policemen clambered into the ring and removed Bonds bodily. Tex O’Rourke said that it was not for him to wives a decision. “I didn't count over Bonds, aft he told me he had been fouled and couldn't — I. said O'Rourke, 1 saw the punch, but 1 rt Nine At ig * 5 we foul or not,” when aske he blew nen been wntgir. n a p to e time of the sudden ending. - ris had far the better of the e weight was too much of a handicap for to overcome, especially as Morris porsible advantage of it during the clinches, He welghed 235, against Bonds’ well tere yard — 4 —4 gradually being ed by punche rhic attack Morris udopted.

When they hooted still —— he added another foul for good uck, Later in the game he twice repeated the process, a proceeding which cost the Washington team four points. Only then did the Piker rooters wake up. They greeted the referee’s remaining rulings with deep silence. The final score was 42 to 21 in favor of the Kansas Aggies, who look like a near-conference champion team. —— Gilmore Thinks McGraw Will Succeed J. K. Tener as League’s President ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., March 3.— James A. Gilmore, former president of the Federal League, denied today that he is in the fleld to buy the New York National League baseball club or was a party to any present deal. Jam not negotiating for the New York club, reposts to the contrary not- withstanding,’ Gilmore stated. ‘Phe New York holdings are valuable and worth owning, but I am in no way g- uring in any pending transaction.“ In a flattering compliment to Manager John MoGraw, Gilmore said: “He is a smhart.man and it wouldn't be at all sur- prising to me to see him slated to suc- ceed Gov. Tener at the expiration of his term two years hence.“ . — Con MANY NEW STARS TO BE SHOWN AT EASTERN MEET PHILADELPHIA.

Whitman's legal advisers, Leslie is a “‘slacker’’—a military shirk. As the calling off of this bout costs Darcy 335,000, it can be seen that his feelings on the subject will not be ex- aggerated if described as acute. A Line of Horrors. Furthermore. as if some Nemesis had followed him over that watery trail of 12.000 miles; from Australia to Chile, and from Chile around the coast line of two continents, to New York, nothing but bad fortune has attended the Maitland Miracle fol- lowing his arrival on the White Way, Christmas morning last. Since that time Darcy— Hus not had a single fight. Madea failure as a vaudeville sar. Fell out with his manager who helped him escape from Australia, Faces suit for breach of man- ager’s contract, Aecepted match with Al McCoy, $25,000; bout ordered stopped by commission, j Accepted match, with Mike Gib- bons at Milwaukee, $40,000 purse, by his manager, and then repu- diated the acceptance. Accepted match with Jack Un- Jon, ($25,000 for Darcy’s end); Governor ordered the match stop- ned. ' Considering that Darcy, in coming all the way from Australia, was seeking the money pot at the rainbow’s end, his Visit has been singularly barren. Had he fought shortly after his ar- rival, before official -sentiment against him had had time to crystallize. he might have added $30,000 to his bank- . — before Old Man Nemesis tripped um. 8 What the future holds for Darcy is entirely dependent on whether othen Governors or boxing commissions will follow the lead of Gov. Whitman. * * More of the Hard Luck Stuff. A ND simultaneously with the deleting of Darcy’s conversation, the aforementioned two-handed censor might get busy with the remarks of one Grant Hugh Browne of New York and Havana. Grant has had excellent reason to release a long line of choice expletives. The good ship Browne has, of recent weeks, been torpedoed and all but sunk on several occasions. One by one his schemes and plans have submerged and been Jost to view. Here are some of the ventures which he launched and which subsequently foundered: Racing meet at Havana—appar- ently never begun. Fulton-Moran bout at Havana— went down with the race track. Sportamen’s Club of America. $5900 membership fec—never pas- 1 he publicity stage. ‘ ton-Weinert fight—big dis- appointment in attendance. Darey-MecCoy and Darey-Dillen houts—stopped. Proposed Fulton-Witlard match —auade impossible by Wilard'’s signing with circus. All that ie needed to fill Browne's bit- ter cup is for the European war to sud- denly cease, putting an end to his gold mine of feeding cavalry horses, intend- ed for European distribution. The chances are, however, that Grant Hugh will be pulling down his 6 cents per day per head on his Goshen estate tor some days to come. — — — British Sport and the War. COPY of London “Sporting Lite,“ date Feb. 6, received here, affords interesting reading. Ita news contains an appalling story of the loss of life among the pick of England's youth in | the war and, at the same time, indicates that. despite the terrific character of the struggle and the absence of many athletes In military service, the phiegm- futic, stay-at-home Briton is going ahead with his pastimes much the same as 1 no Mur existed, The most conspicuous story on the main page concludes with a list of uni- versity athletes killed during the war— — T 6 ae Det HM is stated.

James was yesterday apprised that } Two Matches for Darcy __ in Other States, Should New York Embargo Hold OLLOWING the action of Gov. _ Whitman of New York in pre- venting the Les Darcy-Dillon ‘bout, scheduled for next Monday, on the ground that it was to be a Prize fight and that Les Darcy was a n from military service. t Wo states have renewed invitations to the Australlan to fight’ within their borders. The Toledo (O.) Athletic Associa- tion has offered $40,000 for the bout, while a Milwaukeé club has made practically the same bid, but wants Mike Gibbons as Darcy’s opponent, Minnesota’s Boxing Commission head has stated that if Gov. Whit-. man's charges as to Darcy being a slacker are proven, the Australian will be barred from boxing in Min- nesota. The Wisconsin commission has in- timated that it will not support the New York view of Darcy’s of- fense. Grant Hugh Browne, promoter of the Dillon-Darcy bout in New York, is in conference with Gov. Whit- man of New York today, in the hope of inducing him to rescind his order stopping the contest. lc CO al ais ge tire number, 122 were officers of the grade of Lieutenant’ or better; one was a Sergeant, one a trumpeter and two were privates.

Cardinal players are signing faster than a run on a bank. Bob Steele eapitulated Thursday.

Bill wired that he would arrive today and confer with Manager Huggins, meaning that the will go south with the first squad of Cardinals tonight. Eddie Plank will be numbered among the missing, although Plank will be along in a few days. The Gettysburg Gunner has accepted terms by wire, but asked for a few additional days in which to get his personal affairs in shape. He will report some time next week and get in condition as best he knows how. Jones never worries about Plank, as the “Grand Old Man“ can take care of him- self. Long Tom Hughes Signs. Thomas Hughes, a pitcher who had been holding out for an increase in salary, wire! the Boston National League baseball clu" from Salida, Colo., yesterday, that he had signed a contract and would leave at once for the spring training camp at Miami, Fila. The advance squad of players started irom Boston for Miami last night. Somers Financially O K Again, The Cleveland bankers’ committee which two years ago took over the affairs of Chariss W. Somers. former owner of the Cleveland American League baseball club, announced resterday that he has been financially re- ‘tabilitated through the sale of half of his coal-land holdings. War prices for coal were said to have atly increased the value of the land, The munkers’ committee declined to give the de- tails of the deal, Dut it was officially state the consideration was sufficient to restore the fortunes of the former baseball magnate. Somers became involved in financial diffi- culties two years ago, said to be due in financial over-extension in the ‘purchase of Mitwaukee and Cleveland real estate. A year ago the bankers’ committee sold the control of the Cleveland baseball club, in which Somers was the leading holder, to James C. Dunn for more than ; Columbian A. C.

At the Peerless department store her goodness shone like a. hot sun in the desert—insufferably. When she wasn't selling lace she was -eading tracts or meditating on the sins of the world tn general and those of the salesladies in particular. Miullie kept to herself and never érmiled—those of great Virtue are seldom Happy. When Mazie Higgins left the employ- ment of the store under circumstances that caused considerable chatter in a} ‘ow key, Millie shuddered. She had worked almost side by side with the girl fora year. ' “Just think,” she remarked to Hazel Grant, her counter mate, she was right near us all the time.” “What of it?” retorted Hazel, she didn’t steal any of ‘your tracts, dig she? Um still for the kid. She ain't any worse than the rest of us. She's just unlucky.” “I'm surprised, murmured “Th of defending her. “Bay, come out of it. Tou'te so darn good that you're positively a pest.

A* Idaho guide, whose services were retained by some wealthy Easterners desirous of hunting in the Northwest, took them to be the greenest tenderfeet, since he undertook to chaff them with a recital something as fol- lows: “It was my fret grizzly, so I was hmighty proud to kill him in a hand-to- hand struggle. We started to fight about sunrise. When he finally gave up the ghost the sun was going down.” At this point the guide paused to note the effect of his story. Not a word was said by the Easterners, so the guide added very slowly, “for the second time.“ “I gather then,“ said one young gen- tleman, a dapper little Bostonion, that it required a period of.two days to en- able you to dispose of that grizzly.’’ ‘Two days and a night,“ sail the guide with a grin. “That grizzly died mighty hard.“ “Choked to death? asked the Bos- tonlan. Tes, sir,“ said the guide. “Pardon me., continued the Hubbite, “but what did you try to get him to swallow?’ ° Met His Match. TIGHT-FISTED old man, feeling very sick, asked a friend to recom- mend a physician. The friend named a certain specialist. “Is he very expensive?” asked the sick man. “Well, not so very. He'll charge you for the first visit and $2 for each one after that.“ The old fellow soon afterward walked into the office of the physician named by his friend, and, upon being admitted to the consulting room planked down $2, remarking: Well, doctor, here I am again. . The physician calmly picked up the money and put ft in a drawer, which he locked securely. The sick man looked on expectantly, awaiting the next: move. “Well, I'm ready to be examined,” he said at length. “I don’t think it's necessary.“ replied the shrewd specialist. There's no need to do it again. Keep right on taking thd same medicine. Good day, sir.“ Couldn’t Fool Her.

NCE upon a time there was ay O Prince named Alfred and he lived in a castle all alone. by a river. Many muidens had smiled sweet smiles at the rich Prince, but no one had reached his heart. One day he was walking by the river when he beheld a beautiful maiden with long golden hair sitting by the river hank. Prince Alfred was so spellbound by Ler great beauty that at first he could only stare, and it was only when the maiden seemed to be slipping into the water that the Prince found his voice. “Stay, stay, I beg of you,“ said the Prince; Why do you go into the deep river? You may be drowned.” The maiden turned her big blue oyes upon the Prince and smiled, and it seemed to Prince Alfred that all the pea utiful emiles in the world were mel ed inte the one smile. “Oh, no! I will not drown!’ answered the maiden in a sweet low voice. ‘The water is my home and at the bottora of this river live my sister nymphs, so vou see, I am not afraid. „But wait, I beg of yeu,” said the Prince. “I want to talk to you, and I wish to know your name, and when you will come to the river bank again.“ The water nymph laughed, and it sounded like the ripple of the water, so soft. and sweet it was. “You ask so many questions that I do not know how to answer; you mortals re always in a hurry,” said the Nympb. ‘But tell me your name first of all.“ said Prince Alfred. “TI am a water nymph, if that is wha you mean by a name,” said the Nymph. “T and all my sisters are called Nymphs.” “Can you not ive out of the water“ asked the Prince, for he knew he had found at last the maiden who could make him happy. | “Oh, yes, I can live out of the water, but only when I And a husband, and not before,” said the Nymph. “Then, my beautiful Nymph, you must never go back to your river home, for I love you, and would make you my wife,“ said the Prince. “If you would marry me,” said the Nymph, meet me here on the bank of this river at midnight, and I will bring all my sisters and Father Neptune, and he shall give us his blessings.”’ When the midnight hour was etriking, the Prince had already been at the river bank an hour, and on the last stroke of 12 there arose from the river a heavy mist, and then from out this mist there arose the form of Father Neptune. In his hand he carried his trident; this he waved over the water and called, “Come forth, come forth, Nymphs of the river.“ And then to the astonished gaze of the Prince there appeared more nymphs than he could count, and all exactly alike in size and looks. The bewildered Prince looked for his betrothed, but all the nymphs smiled sweetly at him, and he could not tell one from the other. „Don't keep me waiting,” said Father Neptune; “I have other work to do besides attending to the affairs of lev- — | — a4 Anmemmmmummmune rr iini Funimummmmmmnmuunmumnſ ESTABLISHED !780 — For either brain or muscle Bakers Cocoa 1S refreshing. oa contains more nourishment than beef.” Walter Baker & Co, Ltd DORCHESTER, MASS.

Again the Urince looked in the faces ot the water nymphs, but he was unable to tell which one he had asked to marry him, and he hesitated and drew away from them. “Take all of us,” they said, “unless you cannot pick out the nymph you wooed she cannot come to vou, but you can take all of us to live in your castle, and you will be sure then that among our number is the one you lov.d this morning.” “Father Neptune, held me! Which ts my betrothed?’’ asked the Prince in despair. That I cannot do.” answered Father Neptune. “You must choose your own bride. Come, you must hurry; I cannot stay here much longer.” Again the Prince looked at the faces of the nymphs in hope of seeing some ven of recognition, but he looked ir vain, for all the nymphs smiled, ard each smile was as sweet as that of her sister. At last the Prince coffld stand the strain no longer and he rushed toward his castle with a loud cry. The poor Prince was never himself again. All day he walks by the river, looking into its depths and saying, “Which one is my love and which will I choose?” (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.) * — — } Lucky to Get the Dime. 5 Bor.
