S. Merchan [Execution Thei Germany Might Class Gunners ewes: * . tSh ps as Pirates r Possible Fate There are some dramatic possibili- ties in store for th, United States in the arming of our merchant, ships, aside from the mere armed conflict with submarines; an undoubted one is that, if the Germans are able to cap- ture any member of the gun crew of a@ vessel that has fired on a submarine, the will be courtmartialed and exe- cuted as a franc-tireur. There is an important distinction made by international law ,_ between enemy and neutral merchant ships apd their right to resist capture. An enemy ship is recognized to possess such a right; a neutral) ship does not. The United States Naval Code of 1900 makes this distinction in article 10, paragraph 3, saying: “The personnel of merchant vessels of an enemy, who in self-defense and in protection of the vessel placed in their charge, resist an attack, are en- titled, if captured, to the status of prisoners of war.” That means that they shall be treated as lawful belligerents. Noth- ing is said, however, about the status of the personnel of néutral vessels, and the omission is significant of the rule that they do not possess that status. View of English Authority, In explaining the reason for the distinction A. Pearce Higgins, an En- glish authority, says: “Whereas, the visit of a belligerent warship is, under existing law, mere~ iy the first step to capture and is it- self a hostile act * * the visit to a neutral ship, though justified by the fact of the existence of war, is not a hostile act.” The officers and crew of an enemy merchant ship, whether resisting or not, are entitled under law to be ‘ 9 tured. They are considered as justi- fied, therefore, in escaping eapture if they can. Neutral ships’ crews, on the other hand, may not be captured and have not the same motive for éscape. Iz is consequently a rule of law that resistance on the part of a neutral ship works a forfeiture, by that fact, of ship and cargo. The German prize code of June, 1614, recognized the right of the crew of a resisting enemy merchantman, if captured, to be treated as prisoners of war, but it declared that any passen- gers taking part’ in the resistance would incur the death penalty, as un- lawful belligerents. The Germans have’ revised this regulation § since, however, and now deny the right of resistance to the crews of enemy ships. The executioyn of Capt. Fryatt of the steamer Brussels, in 1915, oc- curred in pursuance of: this change. Germany is alone among the States of the world in this view with re- spect to enemy ships, though the de- nial of the right to the crews of neu- tral vessels is universal. Duty of Neutrals Recognized. The recognition of the duty of neu- tral vessels to refrain from violence against belligerent warships is em- tedied in the laws of nearly all States, which make it. a crime, pun- ighable upon the return of the of- fender to his own State, These pen- alties would not, of course, operate upon the crews of our merchant ships if they are authorized to arm and de- fend themselves. son for non-resistance had disap- peared, and that the United States bad authorized the use of arms even defensively, would hardly alter the German view ‘that all such violence by crews of neutral ships is illegal and rendered such persons uniawful belligerents, ‘liable to court-martial treated as prisoners of war, if cap- and execution, upon capture... — chamber through the main door and took a seat in the front row on the right-hand side of the aisle and facing the rostrum. The committee then went to the Vice President's room and ¢s- corted him to his place on the rostrum to take the oath where Senator Sauls- bury was waiting, Bible in hand, - to, make Mr. Marshall the first man to suc- ceed himself as Vice President of the United States since the present system of party conventions and elections was adopted. f All the members of the ‘President’s Cabinet .came in and took seats with him and that dispelled any notion that there were to be Cabinet changes an- nounced. It is the custom for the Presi- dent to bring into the chamber with him the mén who are to be members of the Cabinet in the coming term. At 12:08 o’elock, after the new Senate had been called to order and the chap- lain’ had offered prayer,. Vice President Marshall stepped to the desk and Senator Saulsbury administered the oath. The ceremony was brief and simple. Immedi- ately afterward while the 32 new Sen- ators were being sworn into effice the official party began moving in pre- arragned order to the open-air stand outside, where President Wilson was to take the oath in public and deliver his inaugural address. The sun kept on ‘playing hide and seek with the clouds as the ceremonies moved to the open air, sometimes flooding the scene with a brilliant light. Crewd on Outside Cheers. The long line of officials and digni- taries moved slowly through the mein door of the Capitol and out to the in- aucuration stand, while the crowd chee-od their arrival. The party took places” cveording to program, with the President seated at the left of the Chief Justice and to the right of the con- gressional Arrangements Committee. Members of Congress, diplomats, Gov- ernors of states with their staffs, mem- bers of the Cabinet and officials of the army and navy were placed near by. A noticeable change in the usual in- auguration arrengements was the pro.c- imity of the crowd tO the President's ‘stand.

Continued cheers for the Pres- ident came from the throng while wait- ing for him to take the oath, “Hurrah for Woodrow, Wilson!” was repeatedly shouted, The President and also Mrs. Wilson smilirgly acknowledged the plau- ites of the crowd. In tho White house party.were Mrs. Sayre and Miss Margaret Wilson, the President's daughters; Mrs. Bolling, Vance McCormica and Francis B. Sayre. The President took the oath standing bare-headed, Mrs. Wilson standing just a few feet away. He shook hands ini- mediately with the Chief Justice and with the Vice President. He lifted his hat to the crowd and be- gan at once to deliver his addresswhile the crowd leaned forward but the high wind made it impoesible for those more than a few feet away to hear, and many of th began to leave. Even the ‘cfowds on the nearby stands could hear nothing, and many of them, chilled by the cold wind and uncom- fortable, wet benches, went away. The crowd Was more orderly than usual at inaugurations and made little effort to push forward to the stand, as it often has done. The wind died down slightly when the President was haif through and his words became audibic to those on the platform and in the front ranks of the crowd. Many took off their hats and listened intently. The President took off his hat at the first cheers, but the wind was so cold he sdon put it on again. .. recession to - te House.

After the presidential party, and forming the first grand division under command of Major-General Bliss, came the cadet corps from West Point, the regiment of midshipmen from An- napolis, companies of engineers, @ pro- visional regiment of coast artillerymen, a detachment of marines and a detach- ment of bluejackets. The second grand division was headed by Brigadier-Gen- eral Mann. National guard regiments of the District of Columbia, batteries of field artillery, troops of Aavalry, companies of the signal corps, a fleld hospital and a naval militia battalion composed the second * division. Gov. Townsend of Delaware and his staff with two battalions of infantry and a»detachment of sanitary troops came next. Rennsylvania was repre- sented by Gov. Brumbaugh and his staff and one infantry brigade. New Jersey’s delegation, headed by Gov. Edge, was a provisional regiment of in- fantry and a provisional regiment of cavalry. Other states were represented by Governors, staffs and troops.of the various branches. After the State troops marched some independent armed organizations and then cadet organizations from local schools and from Virginia military in- stitute, Maryland State College of Agri- culture, Sewanee, Tenn.; Carlisie In- dian” gchool, Culver, Ind., and other places.

Then, when the President took his place in the glass-enclosed reviewing stand he- fore the White House And in the cen- ter of the court of honor, the column began to file by in review, to disband a short distance farther on.

BERLIN, Friday, March 2, by wireless to Sayville, March 5.—In the course of the Reichstag debate on the budget to- day Dr. Gustav Stresemann, a natiqnal Liberal member, alluded to the rupture of diplomatic relations with the United States and to President Wilson, whom the speaker characterized as a ‘‘theo- rist.”" Dr. Stresemann is quoted in the Overseas News Agency's report of the debate as saying: “The rupture was welcomed by no one, | put in the case of the United States the unlimited possibilities of ‘its neutrality had become apparent. - - “I heard two campaign speeches by President Wilson. He is a theorist, re- mote from all the world. He looks upon it as does a chemist on his retort. He does not know Burope, but he considers himself qualified to be her teacher. “The German-Americans did every- thing they could to prevent a ict between ué and the United States. They fully understood Germany’s struggle for existence. Persecuted by President Wil- son, they mamtained the idea of Ger- man-Americanism up to the present. President Wilson once greeted them as men who could be proud that Germany was their native land.’’ Herr Hausmann, a member of the Peo- ple’s party, declared that the noble tra- ditions of America should forbid her becoming the eleventh adversary of a nation which already was engaged in de- fending herself against 10 enemies. An aggressive speech by George Lede- bour, a member of the Socialist minori- ty, was answered by Herr Keil, Social- ist, who said that the Socialists had vot- ed for the war credit in order to safe- guard the nation. He advocated a peace which promised to be lasting and would not leave a eraving for revenge. , Colompia Denies Entering * th Any Alliance With Germany. WAEHINGION, Maren &.— Pub- lished reports of efforts by German agents in Columbia to involve that country, as well as Yapan and Mexico in an intrigue against the United States, caused the Colu‘nbian Minis- ter, Julio Betancourt, last night, for- mally to deny that his Government had entered into an alliance with Germany, or any other nation, to dis- turb pence existing between the three Americas.

(CHINESE PREMIER RESIGNS; FAVORS BREAK WITH GERMANY Cabinet Decides Relations Should Be Severed, but President Refuses to Approve Action. PEKIN, March 6.—The Cabinet de- cided yesterday that China should join the United States in breaking off rela- tions with Germany. President Li Yuan Hung refused to approve the Cabinet's action, saying such power rested en- tirely with him. Premier Tuan Chi Jui immediately resigned and left for Tien Tsin. The resignation of the entire Cab- inet is expected. Parliament is virtually unanimous tn favor of the opinion .of the Cabinet. The leaders of all political parties are criti- cising the President’s position. The Vice President supports the Cabinet. A statement issued from the Presi- dent’s office says that the break be- tween the President and the Premier was due to personal differences rather than to the foreign policy. The Presi- dent has sent representatives to the Premier to induce him to return to Pe- kin, According to the President's office, the immediate cause of the break was a dispatch sent to the Chinese Minister at Tokio, committing China to a rup- ture of relations with Germany and a union with the entente Powers under certain conditions. The President re- fused his approval because; he declared, Parliament must sanction all measures contemplating war as well as a direct declaration of war.

It may not be inappropriate to express my gratitude for the Httle nameless, un- numbered and ofttimes unremembered acts of courtesy and charity shown to me by the members of this body during the last four years; to express my re- gret over the vanishing faces of those who are leaving and to welcome those who, in a few moments, are to become our co-workers in the cause of consti- tutional freedom. | “Everywhere in.

Sincoff visited the cafe Oct. 19, 1915, and, according to his testimony, checked his overcoat and hat. The coat was worth $2 and in the pockets were a pair of silk es worth $1 and two silk shirt waists worth $7. When he called for his hat and coat half an hour later, the coat and contents could not be found.

Stone testified that Sincoff checked only his hat. The case Twe Boys Disappear With $35.

I’m here to take charge.” “Well,” said May, “I'll turn the of- fice over to you because the Supreme Court has decided you were entitled to take possession today.” “Ie that your only reason?” manded Koeln. May repeated that he was obeying the mandate of the Supreme Court, Turning then to Clarence Hoblitsell, May’s chief deputy, Koeln asked what had become of his personal mail for the Hoblitzell replied that the Postmaster had instructed the carriers not to deliver Koeln’s personal mail to anyone but Koeln, who retorted that he cidn’t get it, and was going to call up the Postmaster about it.

By a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch, JEFFERSON CITY, March 5.—Gov. Gardner today sent a message to the Legislature recec...inending the passage of a bill placing a 10 per cent tax on the gross receipts of all munitions and war supplies manufactured in Missouri to provide funds:for the maintenance of the Missouri National Guard. The Governor has had prepared a biil embodying his ideas and has arranged for its introduction in the Senate and House later in_the day. The message to the Legislature in part was: “Under the Federal defense act, it is imperative that we increase the numer- ical strength of the national guard of our State by July 1, 1917, to 6600 men and by a step-up process continue year- ly to make a §} per cent numerical in- crease therein until we obtain a maxl- mum strength of 800 for each Represent- ative in Congress from our State, and which will finally constitute the numer- ical strength of our national guard at 14,400. Federal Defense Requirements. ‘To fail to comply with the require- ments of the Federal defense act at FRANCE DEMANDS REPLY FRO | GERMANY AS TO ; Semi-Oficially Denied That Holding of Frenchmen in Zone of Fire Was in PARIS, March 5.—The French Govern- ment has summoned Germany to reply favorably without delay to the proposi- tions for reciprocal treatment of prison- ers of war made by France. A semi-official communication given out here denies categorically the Ger- Man statement that the holding of French prisoners of war in the zone of fire behind th@ German lines is in reprisal for similar treatment of Ger- man prisoners of war in France. The communication puts French families on guard against what it calle a “‘ma- nouvre” of the German Government. destined to create “anguish and emotion in the public mind” in these so-called reprisals. - The French Government, it adds, conimunicated through the American embassy its desire to arrive at a full understanding regarding the statement of prisoners in the zone of the armies, but no reply was forthcoming from Germany.

But those who are run-down in health know a it is not a fancied affliction. The expression ‘‘run-down’’ comes from the feeble action of an unwound clock; and the camparison is a good one. Applied to health it means a condition in which all the bodily fune- tions are enfeebled. Appetite fails, the digestion is im altel the nerves are impoverished, the complexion be- comes pale, there is no animation but rather worry and mental depression. Fatigue is a constant symptom. No particular organ being affected you must look for relief to the blood that circulates everywhere. Improve- ment in the blood is quickly felt throughout the entire system and Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are the best and most convenient blood builders. As the blood becomes rich and red, the various organs regain their tone and the body recovers its so formidable a candidate in the ele«- vigor.

As I deem it superfluous to again direct your attention to the unfortunate and deplorable condition of our revenues to meet such requirements, I am, therefore, transmitting to you herewith a prepared bill which I recom- mend that you speedily enact into the law of our State. This bill makes a levy of 10 per cent upon the gross re- | ceipts of munitions and war supplies of manufacturers in our State relative to. their sales to other than our Federal and State Governments. “An Equitable Levy.” ‘The carrying on of this particular industry is permitted by our State Gov- ernment, assuming no small degree of hazard to the inhabitants of various sections of our State, and for the grant- ing of such privilege, I cannot but think that 10 per cent of the gross receipts of such sales is an equitable levy tv be made against such industries. “I, therefore, urge you to give this bill such preference as your rulgs will permit that it may become the law of our State before your final adj». irm ment. * “Permit me to take this occasion to expr to you my heartfelt thanks for the earnest consideration and prompt approval you are giving to the revenué measures recommended to you by me in my inaugural message.. “Let me say that I have at all times maintained an abiding faith in you as true Missourians, irrespective of party affiliation, to meet the: cest and enact into the law of our State these great revenue-producing measures to the end that the demand of the people of our State that we rehabilitate the present financial condition thereof may be fully mét.”’ The Federal Government last Septem- ber imposed a tax of 12% per cent on the net income from materials that can be used only for war munitions. Only three concerns in the Eastern Missouri district have filed statements of this revenue, and others have asked exten- sions of time for submitting statements. SUSPECT HUNTED IN MURDER Pelice Belleve They Know Man Who) Killed Railroad Watchman. The poliée believe that they know the identity of the man who last Friday night shot and killed Clay, Frisco yard watchman, in the yards near the Tower Grove Station, It was learned yester- day that Clay on Feb. 21 caught an Italian, now suspected of his murder, removing a door from a freight car. Tne man dropped the door and ran. A few days later the same Italian wos ejected from the railroad yards when Clay discovered him and several boys stealing coal. The night of the murder, the police say, the Italian was in the neighbor. hood of the watchman's shanty, mak'ng inquiry as to the possible whereabos ts of Clay at a certain time. He has aut been around his usval haunts, the po- lice say, since the night of the crime. No Deposit Required. From residence customers for Unilea Electric Light & Power Co. service.

YOUVE had the real Burley cigarette coming to you for a long time. Last year you rolled billions of Burley cigarettes—because you couldn’t buy them ready-made. You certainly do love Burley; 60 million pounds were poured out of those green, blue and red boxes last year. Do you know why you couldn’t buy them? The shredded Burley didn’t work right for a cigarette — flavor didn’t hold. — So we had to go back to the old kitchen stove for the right idea. And that old kitchen stove gave us a new principle in cigarette making | The Burley tobacco—it’s toasted Just like buttered toast, hot; simple, isn’t it. All big discoveries are. - So there’s Lucky Strike your real Burley cigarette at last —with the tobacco toasted to hold the flavor. : “It’s toasted”— that makes you want to try one, quick.

We have OUR PARALYZED SENATE. As in a strain the Weak link of a chain breaks, so in a crisis the flaw of a governmental system proves its undoing. Under the principles and normal rules that govern representative legislatures in republican government, the resolution empowering the President to protect American rights, lives and ships against lawless attack on the: sea would have been adopted. But the fatal flaw in the Senate rules prevented this necessary action. Eleven stubborn Senators, a pitiful minority, held | up the overwhelming majority and defeated its will, thereby defeating the will of the people and endangering the honor, prestige and welfare of the nation. That the power of an insignificant minority of the Senate blocked the machinery of government, through the lack of any rule or means in that body of limiting debate and forcing a vote, did not invite costly disaster, is due merely to fortu- nate circumstances. The danger of disaster through this weakness is none the less possible and imminent. With an enemy before our ports or crossing our borders a few fools or a few actual traitors—one fool or one traitor, if his en- durance were equal to the strain, could render this government practically helpless for a time, perhaps, for time enough to permit the inflic- tion of a menacing, if not fatal, blow. President Wilson does not overstate the danger of this flaw, nor the necessity of rectifying it, in order that the efficiency of the government to deal with the pending crisis or any crisis, may be established. He says with unanswerable truth and force that it would be useless to call an ex- traordinary session of Congress while the paraly- sis of the Senate remains, while that body is powerless to act and to enforce the will of its majority and do the imperative work of the na- tion. The Government finds itself helpless now to defend American rights against lawless attack, to protect American lives and ships on the sea. It will continue to be helpless so long as one branch The failure of the present Senate to act on measures of vital im- portance may be repeated: with even more disas- trous results in the next Congress. Neither Senators nor people can plead lack of warning of this breakdown. The flaw has been exposed in other lesser crises. Movements to cor- rect it have been .started, but have died in in- fancy. Senators have pleaded courtesy and tradi- tion and dignity and deliberation in defense of the weakness in its rules. But courtesy, ftradi- tions, dignity and deliberative debauch fall be- fore the imperative necessity of efficiency, the demand of reason and the irresistible lokic of necessity. ' The issue of efficiency or helplessness, uf action or paralysis is before the Senate. Senators can- not evade it. When they act and establish major- ity rule an extra session will be called and ade- quate action for national defense will be taken. The people as wel: as the President demand that the Senate reorganize into an acting body. = = — — Pollyanna rejoiced over her disfiguring freckles, because they were not warts.

According to a statement in Congress the other day, backed by an itemized account in dollars and cents, Great Britain realized a greater gross revenue from its exports in the year 1916 than in the year 1914. This does not mean that Great Britain produced more in the past year than it did in the previous one so much as that the value of productions has been enhanced by war- time prices. At the same time, the balance of trade was there and it was far from showing the war havoc upon commerce that might have been expected. The most interesting etal about it was That exports in tools and machinery manufactured from iron showed a net gain. Considering the enormous demand for war munitions which requjre an extraordinary output of iron and steel, this is decidedly surprising. Even in the matter of ship-building for foreign trade Brit- ish industry made an amazing showing. = = = re ELIGIBILITY IN A PUGILIST. Gov. Whitman of New York may. be crowding the law by refusing to permit Les Darcy, the Australian boxer, to fight in that State on the ground that he is a “slacker” from military serv- ice, but it is hard to imagine the general public quarreling with him about it. American sports- manship has no place in it for the man who shirks and if Mr. Darcy is a shirker for the sake of revenue, the sooner he and others like him dis- cover the fact, the better for all concerned. = = " rr GERMAN GOOD FAITH. Sed, We still had some illusions about Germany, but sad havoc is played with them by the Zim- mermann admission. The certainty that she is to be trusted neither in peace nor in war, no more as a friend than as an honorable enemy, is deep- ly disquieting. Not only are her formal engage- ments with her jealous neighbors nothing but scrape of torn paper, in her view, but those un- expressed but peculiarly sacred: obligations of square dealing and gratitude owed to loyal and helpful friends. She is not engaged in a war of conquest against her present enemies, she asserts. But she plarined the conquest of Texas, New Mexico and at the expense of her only remaining friend, and while that friend, in the performance of good of- fices, was giving an almost unexampled evidence of solicitude for her interests. Defeated without our aid,.she will be cut off from the pursuit of her ambitious and dangerous plans of world dominance elsewhere, but left free ' en na ton ae aggrandizement we have thought cei when outlined to us in the past. Supposing the war has an insite end! Or supposing that Germany wins it! In either event we have the peril of German conquest and German world hegemony at our very doors. The necessity ‘for preparedness on a ‘ine scale than we have thought wise in the past is conclusion, but it is inescapable. Our young men must be trained in national de- fense from their youth up. The system must be so comprehensive as to concede nothing to un- patriotic “slackers” and so efficient as to assure the national peace of mind in studying our greater continental problems of the future. » A. —- - right-thinking Missourian, can read with patience Senator Stone’s “explanation” of his monstrous blunder. He says his final effort against the arming bill was made 19 hours before the time of adjourn- ment and was not for purposes of delay, but to express dissent with certain provisions of the measure, which measure he asserts he expedited in committee. But he supplied the chief material for the cre- ation of the raging parliamentary Frankenstein and the chief skill in fashioning it. If later it passed completely beyond his control, which may be doubted, he cannot escape the damning re- sults of his own handiwork. The bill which was abandoned by the chairman of the committee recommending it and actively opposed by the President’s own spokesman on the floor was seized on with avidity by the filibuster- ing babblers who utilized the one weak point in the Senate’s organization, the one means of affording aid and satisfaction to America’s en- emies, to promote defensive impotence. Not since the final Congress of the Buchanan administration, when treason stalked the aisles of the two houses, has any such spectacle been presented of a lack of unity on the part of those who have it in their power to enfeeble our strength. And it is given at_a time when, as Mr. Wilson says, ‘the country and the representa- tives of the country stand back of the executive with unprecedented unanimity of spirit.” With a hostile foreign Government making war upon us, the army is denied appropriations for its support. With the inadequacy of our land strength notorious, maintenance is cut off from the military academy at the moment when its aid is needed as never before in training new forces. Of the arming of our ships, Senator Stone in his obstructive speech said: “No doubt that would be a proper thing to do, but it would be war.” What reason lies in that for evading our duty? Will it be any the less war if a foreign enemy is encouraged by our neglect of protection to con- tinue acts of war against us? The only voice raised in America for him is the voice of the hyphenated press, which has only words of hos- tility for our own cause. ‘“‘Rock of Americanism,” (Senator Stone is called in descriptions making it only too obvious that he is the rock of German hopes in intrigue and enervating division here at home. Missouri, with one-thirtieth of the population of the country and one-thirtieth of the member- ship in Congress, supplied one-eighth of the faith- less opposition to national defense. Only the Sen- ate rules enabled Mr. Stone, as one of the ob- structive 13 in the upper house, to have greater success than Mr. Shackleford of Jefferson City and Mr. Decker of Joplin as members of the ob- structive 13 in the lower house. Missourians are given cause for humiliation and moved to anger. Of what importance are German plots in Mexico compared with sympathy and support for German duplicity in the citadel of national initiative and action at Washington? ] _-_—oOoO™ --_—_—_- | & FY --— —s The price of hogs has reached the point where it would be sheer extravagance to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. = #** 7 -r FIRST-CLASS FIGHTING MAN AT 102. if it comes to war, David Kenetiski of Blissville Township, Jefferson County, II1., 102 years old, can be depended upon to give a good account of him- self. Uncle David is not as young as he once was, but he is still full of fight. When there is a call for men he will begthere, stepping lively, ready to do battle for the greater glory of Bliss- ville Township and the U. S. A. Great-grandfather Kenetiski demonstrated the other day that when fighters are needed he is there with the wallop. His boy, Frank, 60 years old, and Tony Smetski, a youth of about the same age, had a falling out. A wagorf seat was the cagus belli. Young Smetski had it on his wagon. Young Kenetiski said it was his and tried to take it. They fought al] over the wagon. When the old gentleman arrived the battle was at its height. He immediately went into action. With a whoop he cleared the wheel and was in the midst of the melee, smashing right and left. That was too much for Smetski. He quit. Smetski feared that if something was not done about it, Grandpa would terrorize the community. So he had the ancient warrior before the ‘squire. That dignitary heard the evidence and said it was clear that the defendant was guilty of assault and battery, as charged, but he had doubts whether his jurisdiction extended to persons 102 years of age and dismissed the case. He took occasion to say that while a reasonable amount of fighting would be overlooked in a man of Kenetiski’s years, he hoped Kenetiski would not again jump on a fellow little more than half his age. We do not want war, but with Kenetiski and his wallop on our side we would be sure to win. : made painfully apparent.

JUST AI A MINUTE IN WHICH WE AGAIN ADDRESS THE CROWNED HEADS. ENTLEMEN: It is with some reluctance that (; I again address you, who are busy with your own royal machinations. Nevertheless, I cannot help feeling that in the great conflict of opinion you would like to know ours, and I want to keep you informed as our opinion develops. After much interested onlooking and not a little inndcent bystanding, we have been forced to the conclusion that unless we go in to rescue the general principles of civilization they will not be preserved. We are not sure to what lengths we shall have to go to bring them out right side up, but we will do what is necessary. We understand perfectly how things have come to that pass which renders it necessary for us to act. You have gone from one thing to another in the heat of conflict until you are no doubt almost as much amazed as we are to discover how far you have got- ten away from those nice considerations of civili- zation we used to discuss at The Hague. The principles of civilization were not established by those who write books. They were estaDlished by conflicts similar to this, and cost a great deal of treasure and blood. When Mr. Wilson told@ you we were unable to determine from your representa- tions just what it is for which any of you fights, you all felt that we did you a great injustice. Still, that was all we could make of it, and it is all we can make of it now. You can therefore understand why the United States, which has definite principles of civilization in mind, feels that it cannot much longer withhold its hand. It is possible that after we have been in the war a while we shall in turn be so far lead astray by passion that these may have to be-championed by someone else. I say that to make it plain that we do not consider ourselves any better than you were when you started out. We are only better, if I may say that, now. We, too, are human. We are not asking you to judge of us now by what we have ourselves sometimes done in the heat of action. We want to be judged only by our present intentions. There. I knew you would respond to that senti- ment. Thanks, heads. We are all made of the same stuff. You are only different for that heat which is in you and for the time being transforms you into what we are not but could probably become. Again thanks for applause. You see I am frank. I claim for ourselves nothing superior but our neutral] con- dition. Ah! Very sweet of you indeed, that nod of assent. I take it we understand one another. Now, friends: We have achieved exactly that state of mind in which I wish the first day of August might have found us ail more than two years ago. It has-been the purpose of this address. By no more than claiming oneness of condition and kind, chuck- ing all pretense and claiming no more than that com- ‘mon brotherhood in which all men occur, whatever a ey Og ager ileal Written for the POST-DISPATCH by Clark McAdams their hifalutin notions, I have done that for you ’ which you could not do for yourselves and not doing which you became as the beasts of the field. Yes, I shall be glad to repeat that. You wince, Bill. You may welljwince. It is quite ag natural as that George, now furiously blushing, should redden the roots of his royal beard. But one thing more: Suppose I had come here in the spirit of bravado. Suppose I had bellowed de- fiance and threatened to knock off this and that King’s royal block.. Would we have gotten where we are, or would we now be engaging in a free-for- all fight such as that with which you have shaken Europe? That is all, gentlemen. It is unnecessary to ask you not to fight going out. You are in no such mood. IN SIGNS. The last line of this sign in the lobby of a New York ied ese seems to one of our sign hunters Jean Knott found’ this one at Sheepshead Bay. It probably tells its own story. Having a nice loca- tion from which he commands the skulking subma- rine with a well-cast brick, he is probably impor- tuned to sell out by secret agents of the Kaiser: 7 'F THE BUGLE CALLS You.

And that’s the last she over sees of the money that her poor husban! toiled for for years, so that his Mary might be safe when he could protect her no longer. And the widow, utterly helpless, is thrown penniless on a world that has no place in it for the middle-aged woman untrained to any work, too old to learn, too old'to adapt herself to new condi- tions, too softened by a life of luxury and protection to fight the hard battle for bread for herself. This tragedy is pitifully common. A prominent life insurance company has | studied the history of the estates of $5000 or over, created by its payments to ben- eficiaries, and it finds that within seven years 90 per cent of these estates have been wholly dissipated. Common observation of the fate of the estates of the people we know back up these figures of the life insurance com- pany, and it surely should convey a warning to every husband and father, and teach him to safeguard the future of his wife and children by leaving his money in trust for them in such a shape that they cannot get hold of it to spend, but will have it doled out to them in monthly allowances in sums that their experience will enable them to handle. Not one man in 10,000 would trust his wife to manage his estate while lie is s'ive. Why does he think that she will possess any more financial acumen and judgment after he is dead’? Indeed, she will be less cap- able of dealing with money questions then than she is now, because with her mind befuddled with grief and the bewilderment of loss, she will be easily beguiled into taking the ad- vice of any unscrupulous sharper who offers to relieve her of the ne- ces8ity of deciding upon investments. Every man who has a woman de- pendent on him should realize that he owes it to her to make a will be- fore another day passes over his head. And in that will he should tie up whatever property he leaves her beyond the possibility of her throw- ing it away. In that way only can he protect her from becormiing one of those poor unfortunates who has to eat the bitter bread of dependence, instead of feasting on angel food at her own table.

Jast Back With European Experiegces Miss Grace Parker Is Fitting Every Volunteer to the Work She Is Best Fitted for in Taking the Places of Men Who May Go to the Front. By NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. HAT can the American woman do W to serve her country in time of war? . How can the woman power of Ameri- ca be mobilized, made effective, if the severance of diplomatic relations with Germany lead to actual hostilities? What can you do in that emergency? What can I do if I don’t want to feel that to be a woman is to be one of the effectives of peace and the ineffectives of war? I asked these questions of Miss Grace Parker, national commandant of the newly organized National League for Woman's Service, which was just five days old when the German Ambassador received his passports, but which has made itself count so much in the last tew days that when a patriotic stenog- rapher wandered into the headquarters and said to the elevator. starter, ‘“Where’s the war?’ he answered promptly, “Room 1101.” In room 1101 I found Miss Parker and a half-dozen other women who were there to enroll women volunteers for whatever war service they considered themselves most fitted. The volunteers came to volunteer everything! I talked with a pretty telephone op- erator who wanted to offer her serv- ices to her country during her lunch hour and on Saturday afternoons, and with a distinguished matron, who dropped in to say that the members of the league might have her country house any time they wanted it. Miss Parker is one of three women who have been appointed members of the National Council of Defense, her colleagues being Mrs. J. S. Martin of Philadelphia and Mrs. Hugh Scott of Washington, D. C. Miss Varker re- turned recently from a visit to England, where she made a special study of the patriotic service of women in war time, so she is peculiarly well qualified to head a movement to mobilize the woman power of America. System in Co-Ordination the First “The first thing warinn should do is to systematize their efforts,’’ Miss Par‘k- er told me. ‘“*‘The National League for Woman’s Service hopes to co-ordinate all the energies of patriotic women al! over the country. At present our patri otic societies work each one for itself, and there is much duplication and little collective effort. We don’t want to swamp the country with bandages that many not be needed. We don't want to put every woman to knitting socks that may never be worn. What we seek firs: of all to do is to systematize the patri- otic work of women, “Today you see workers here taking down the names of women volunteers.

Our purpose is not to call upon women now to do things which are not needed, but to find out what women can do IF they are needed, to register and classify them so that they can be mobilized at a moment's “And if these women are never called, upon I think we shall have done some good by orgarizing their co-ordinative energies. Take the women who rur their own cars, for instance—remember, no woman driver will be accepted who cannot take her car to pleces and put it together again—if no call to serve the country comes, how fine it would ve for them to call at hospitals and take out convalescents; what a splendid demonstration of democracy it will be for the girl who can give two hours of stenography or of telephoning to realiz- that her work makes her count for her country &nd that she must mobilize in its service.”’ Amor.g the women who have already mobilized as members of the Organiza- tion Committee of the National League for Woman’s Service in answer to the league’s;clarion call, “For God, for Home, for Country.” are Miss Maude Wetmore, New York, chairman; Miss Anne Morgan, Mrs. Willlam Cummings Story, Mrs. Coffin Van Rensselaer of New York, Mrs. Barrett Wendell ‘of Massachusetts, Washington, Mrs. Lewis Stillwell and Mrs. E.

Jones, originator of the plan to purchase the Cardinals by popular stock subscription, who was chosen trustee of the temporary organization, turned over the check to Mrs. Britton’s attorney, Lon O.

If this sum is not forthcoming, all interest In the Cardinals on the part of the prospective purchasers ceases and they will lose the $25,000 spent in obtain- ing the option. New Directors to Be Named. In the meantime the Cardinal players will be sent ahead with their training plans at Hot Wells, under the guidance of Milier Huggins. But a change in the directorate of the business manage- ment of the club within the next few days is not improbable, as under the terms of the option the purchasers of the same have the right to assume charge of the management of the club and its affairs. Mr. Jones said in this connection: “While I have no right to speak for the incoming directors, I think I am entirely safe in saying that there will bé no change in the BASEBALL man- agement of the club. Mr. Huggins isn in charge of the team and will continue in charge. Mr.:Seekamp is in charge of the business affairs of the club at the park and will continue in charge. ‘The are officials of the club have not been determined, except that I shall NOT be the president, as has been sug- gested in some of the papers. “T think there is no doubt also that the future president of the club will be a CBALL EFFICIENCY EX- PERT. The club is going to be under the management of a man whose ca- pacity to run it and run it right, with ample rsonal qualifications and ample mney experience, will be recognized by everyone. He will be selected by the incoming managment. I have no individual in mind. I am simply telling you the character of man who will be selected. No favorites will be played. We want the ‘man with the goods. “How are the stock subscriptions going?” Jones was asked. “Well, see for yourself,” and he at- tacked with a letter opener a stack of mail including many special de- livery stamped envelopes. hen opened, most of these contained ahagka, ranging in amounts from $50 to $500, covering requests for stock. About the same time two telephone calls, one of which Jones declared was from August A. Busch, were an- nounced as requests for stock sub- scriptions. “Mayor Kiel called me up at 8 o'clock this morning and stated that he wanted to be enrolled on the list of subscribers. These results are merely the first returns from a cam- paign begun by Mr. W. E. Bilheimer, chairman of the Organization Com- mittee, who is already campaigning to raise the funds necessary for the second payment.” "Do you anticipate raising more than the necessary $150,000 before et epocision time, May 4?” Jones was asked. “If we don’t raise at least $250,000 by that time it will merely mean that St. Loulsans do not like the scheme suggested and I will favor abandon- ing the plan entirely. “We want the whole heart of the city back ef this movement. A mere $150,000 would start us in wrong. It would mean that eventually we would be bought-out and the prop- erty would again revert to private ownership. “But I bhelleve that we will raise the entire 850000 needed te not onlv pay for the club, but_to give us PUNICPAL TEAMS DON'T SCORE IN 138 MINUTES Ejimination Soccer Game Be- tween St. Matthews and St. Augustines Set Record. What is a new record for local soc- cer, and probably for the entire coun try, was established yesterday by the St. Matthews and St. Augustines in ‘the first round of elimination games of the Municipal Association, when the two teams battled 2 hours and 14 minutes without either being able te score in their clash at the C. B. C. campus. The elimination contests call for Nalves of 45 minutes duration. These were staged without either being able to gain any noticeable advantage, and then in an effort to reach a de- cision, the elevens went at it again. They played 48 minutes, when Ref- eree Bob Harris was forced to call a halt on account of darkness. The two started playing at 2:30 20 before they The result was something of a surprise as the St. Matthews, who won the nnant in the Holy Name herally were picked to win. surprise, hoWever, came when the Keen Kutters of the Satur- day division swamped the st.

Tener on the telephone, Sunday night, and arranged that he confer with us in St. Louis this week, probably Wednesday. At that time we will present our plans and make them harmonize with the league’s rules.’’ “Boy” Idea Still Dominant. “Will the ‘boy development’ idea and the ‘pass with each share of stock’ idea be presented to the league head?” “Yes. We want to put this boy idea through, if we can. We want each share of stock to give the holder the right to send one boy to each game, Perhaps it will be necessary to cut the age limit to 14 years, instead of 16. We think we can overcome any objection.’’ N. B.—When President Tener first learned of the ‘“‘pass-for-boys”’ plans, he stated that he thought Visiting clubs of the National League would require the St. Louis team to settle according to the turnstile count, disregarding all passes above the league limit. Is the 6 per cent dividend plan to be ironclad? What would happen in case a large surplus should be accumu- lated in the treasury ?’’ Jones was asked. “A two-thirds vote could order a dis- tribution of the same-among the stock- holders. But the chances are it would be put to the uses outlined in the orig- inal plans of the promoters, such as building a great stadium and develop- ing the ball club.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 5.— This somnolent city of the South, al-| ready disturbed by° the presence of some 15,000 of Uncle Sam’s soldiers, was further invaded last night-»y the forces of Miller J. Huggins’ baseball army. Twenty-one officers and men marched into the city. “Hug” him- self, with 12 enlisted en and non- coms Connery and Wobdds, effected a junction with a squad of six other tossers at the Hot Wells Hote). The battle for jobs, in which five of the 27 players now on the roster will be exterminated, began later in the day, when Huggins led his troupe into the Hot Wells diamond. After today the doutle workout plan will bein effect. A session of an hour and a half at the Hot Wells park in the morning will be followed by a two-hour drill at League Park, the home of the San Antonio Bronchos, in the afternoon. Road Work for Hug’s Men. In planning to take the athletes into San Antonio proper for the afternoon practice, Hug has two ideas in mind. In the first place he figures the change of scenery will prevent the work from be- coming monotonous. Again, he expects to make the men hoof it from the hotel to League Park and bacx again. So, un- less Hug changes his mind, the athletes will do about six miles of road work each afternoon. A couple of weeks of this sort of activity should put the squad in tip-top shape. Frank Snyder, who lives in San An- tonio, reported this morning: If Frank's complexion is a criterion, the sun has been on the job strong all winter. The big catcher has spent the winter hunt- ing and fishing. He has sold his road- ster and has been relying on his pedal extremities for transportation. Stuffy Stewart a “Prospect.” The first Cardinal to reach camp was “Stuffy’’ Stewart, the South Atlantic League second sacker, who joined the club last fall. ‘“Stuffy’’ registered a week ago and has been pottering around with the San Antonio Bronchos. “Hug’’ thinks a lot of this youngster. In the squad that accompanied Hug- gins from St. Louis were pecnere Leon Ames, Bob Steele, Dick lehaus, Lou North and Roy Gardiner, Infielders Jack Miller, Fred Smith, J. Jones and Clyde Defate, Outfielders Bob Bescher and Jack Smith and Catcher Paddy Living- ston. This Livingston is quite a husky per- son. The veteran receiver is built ac- cording to the original specifications of the Rock of Gibraltar and is just abouc as impervious to punishment. Paddy is long on experience as well as size. He served with the Athietics for something like four seasons, spent nearly twice that time in the American Association and performed last season with Sioux City in the Western gue, Lee Meaduws, ‘“Mule’’ Watson, Fred wit!- Bohne, ‘‘Stuffy’’ Stewart llame, i Rogers Hornsby and Frank Snyder were on hand here when the »quad arrived last night. That made an attendance of 10 of the demon athletes at the breakfast table. The remain- der of the squad, nine in ali, will wander in from time to time. Doak Only Uncertainty 7. Doak ts the only member about whom there is an uncertainty. Bill went back to Pitts- burg from St. Louis after failing to reach & salary agreement with Mugging last Satur. day. According to Huggina, lations are &t an end, as far as the club concerned. It's a question of take {ft or leave it, as far as Doak'’s contract is con Huggine pute it. No co ia felt as to Horneby, Pierce, Betsel and Fred Smith. who te.

It is apparent that no organization vhich MUST withdraw profits from a going company can compete with one |} hat puts back all its earnings into the business. That, in a nutshell, is tie meat of thé co-operative plan to g ve St. Louls a pennant winner, and one owned by the fans. Wrecks ot enterprises tegun on a co-operative basis dot tne financial landscape. A very few have come turough and they are not co-operative i. the fullest sense. For this reason the conclusion is being drawn that the Jasey Jones Limited is headed for dis- aster. One-Man Authority Imperative. > that is not necessarily true. It would seem that the co-opera- tive pl to run the Cardinals is dif- ferent m ALL others in that the istockholders expect NO earnings, only a winner. The real threat of derailment lies in the multi-management of the club. Unless the common _stock-holders, whose votes are to decide matters per- taining to: the management of the club, vest absolute authority in a gen- eral manager, the movement may be ditched early in the proceedings, With a one-man directorship of. the team, there is no reason visible at this time why the club should not have an ifmmense advantage over the money-making private corporations which will be if competitors; or why, in time (not at once), it should not arrive at its goal—a successful club. What Will the League Do? T HE conference between the Organ- ization Committee and President Tener of the National League, sched- uled this week, will open the eyes of the committee. There will be com- plications unexpected heretofore. It is not to be expected that the owners of rival N. lL. clubs will look any too kindly on a scheme which threatens the future of certain in- comes. Opposition may be expected, especially if the local promoters let their minds run to the rather vision- ary ideas as to on get | free several thousand 16-year-old kids daily. But at this time, there is no ob- jection which cannot be snfoothed away. The league simply cannot find a good reason for refusing to sanc- | | RIVATE ownership of baseball clubs may enter the Land of Forgotten Things in a few years if plans of J. C. Jones, launched today with the closing of the 60-days option on the Cardinals, come'through with even a part of the success hoped for by the dreamers on the Organization Committee. so many public spirited St. Louisans of standing. At present the pespctpe: stumbling block in front of the promoters is the raising of $475,000 by popular subscription. The 110 contributors to the $25,000 option money averaged about $200 each in the pool. At this rate about 2500 individual sgjock sub- scriptions would be needed to com- plete the total capitalization. Many more than this will be required, how- ever, for more than half of the total will be made up of $50 and $25 con- tributions. : 4 It will require more pens to raise this sum than to plift the National League's ideals to the co- operative basis. . . Trials of a Rich, but Honest, Magnate. RANDSTAND managers, even busi- ness men of experience, have hazy notions as to the possibilities of develop- ing a baseball team, given favorable } | conditions and an open-handed, wealthy club owner. “If he'd spend the money, surely get a winner,” is the prevail- ing belief. And perhaps it’s given t:me and good judgment on the part of the purchasing agent. That it is possible to seize a $100,- 000 check i. one hand, your hat in the other and rush right out and pur- chase the skeleton of a winning team is a sophistry too often demonstrat- ed. This is the fallacy that wrecked the Federal League and that promises to lead the promoters of Owned-by- the-Fana Cardinals into deep water and decper mourning. | Money No Object. HE fact that the Cardinals, with a fine trading asset like Snyder, could get nothing but junk offers in return; and the added fact that the Browns, with plenty of cash, the Veteran Plank and other trading ma- terial of merit couldn’t get a worthy offer in return, indizsates the diffi- culty of obtaining tried and untaint- e’ playing talent for ANY considera- tion. It is a lucky club that even wets a chance to pay $50,000 for a Speaker or a Collins. Only, three or four genuine stars come up each year—sometimes none at all. Magnates accordingly cling desperately to players of unquestioned and reliable ability. - PALESTINE TEN DAYS Manager Jones Announces That Club Will Then Proceed to Corpus Christi. PALESTINE, Tex., March 4.—~Al- though top coats were in evidence on Palestine streets this morning, the Browns donned uniforms and parti- cipated in the inaugural workout of the training season at the baseball! park here today. It was pretty chilly, but Manager Fielder Jones announced that he in- tended to keep his players in action. He said that he would have the play- ers do considerable running to take off surplus avoirdupois, if the weather revented the men from using base- lh implements. Snow was in evidence alon the right of way almost entirely to Pales- tine, yerterday, and as it was chilly after arriving here, there was a hint the athletes would have done well to have remained on the train and pro- ed farther south. a er Jones. who had tll March 16 to Corpus Christi, | .

— ~ The Voice in — the Wilderness » By Mary Baldwin Kennedy. - ADY JANE might have been ex- pected to resent this long, and apparently aimless, ramble through the moon-flooded night. But Lady Jane's loyalty to her master was equal to a far greater strain than merely to gallop, trot or even walk for him across miles of prairie. It mon. Pe confessed, ho ‘/cver, that she, like others of her sex, possessed a wee bit of curiosity and her master’s behavior tonight set her mildly awon- der. In the first place, it had been apparent to her, soon after leaving the ranch, that this ride had no ob- jective point. They were just ram- bling. Secondly, the master’s voice, which usually filled their goings with cheery comment or cosy confidences, Was strangely silent. These things furnished food for thought, but not for protest, as mile after mile of trackless desert fell bchind them. Lady Jane could make nothing of it. How was she to know that this night was an anniversary of another which had marked the end and also the begin- ning of things for the master? A night when, rather than yield hi pride, he had turned his back upon New York and the one being therein whom he really loved, and had plunged into life on a Montana ranch, determined to for- get and to make good. That he had made good the flourishing Double Y Ranch, now so far behind, could tes- . tify. That °o had not succeeded in for- getting, this aimless wancering proved. Perhaps it was at the moment when Lady Jane ceased to puzzle over the sirange situation that the master sud- denly realized what a distance he and the poor beast had traveled. They hac reached the top of a bald hill when he stopped with an exclamation of sur- prise which caused Lady Jane to turn her head in mild inquiry. Below them in the valley lay Sid Wil- son's ranch, the poorest in the country. Tonight, however, under the kindly _ teuch of the moon, tlhe house and door- yard seemed less uninviting than usual. Was it a new coat of paint? Distinctly there was a new fence enclosing a bit of garden, The master marveled at tho thought of flowers among those rocks. Then suddenly he remembered having heard the boys of his own ranch talk- ing of this man, with whom he himself was but slightly acquainted. They had -* gaid he was about to be married, and he half-pitied the girl now as he gazed at the desolate spot. “We'll go down, Ladys and rest awhile. Poor friend! You've been shad- bily treated." The kind tone was all the reward Lady Jane asked for those weary miles and sho was beginning at once to pick her way down the rocky slope when a thing happened for which there was no ac- counting. Her progress was immediate- ly arrested. The master had received a shock. Up from the valley there rose a thril!- ing note of song. A woman's voice swolled out upon the still air in vibrant tones of emotion. It was sweet, it was sad, it was h -breaking! The master Bat spellbound. There was but one voice like that fn the wog)d, und it was their song~his and Marga- - Pet's. What could it mean? Margaret in Sid Wilson's house! It meant one thing only, and the thought struck a chill to his heart. Yet he could not turn ‘back without knowing absolutely. Thus it was that he found himself presently leaning heavily on*the new gatepost— the gate wide aswing—and Lady Jane nearby munching whatever of grass protruded between the palings. Ths master’s right arm hung at his side, clutching his soft felt hat, and over his ashen face swept waves of pain as he listened again to the voloe pouring out from the ranch house. With one linger. ing note, exquisitely sad, it ceased. Al. most immediately the door opened and a stream of yellow light spread a little way down the cinder path. For one mo- ment he saw her against the light, then the door closed and she stepped out the shadows of the little porch and walked slowly, with head bent, down the path. The man gripped the post on which he leaned, and watched her with fas- cinated eyes, as she approached him. “Sid Wilson's wife. Sid Wilson's wife!’ was the knell which rang in his soul. She had not once raised -her csyes and had reached the gate when a sudden etep of Lady Jane, a creak of the saddle, caused her to look up. Startied to see a man standing so near, she threw out her hand to the swinging gate, then at his one word, “Margaret!” she grasped it for sup- _ port, «gasped: and stared, wide-eyed, “John! YOU here!” That was all, but as they lived through that moment of shock it then BS seemed to the man an eternity in _ Which to realize lost opportunities | while an tnexorable fate mocked him. At last he managed to whisper: | “Bo you are Sid Wilson's wife!” A look came into her face then that baffled him. Jt almost seemed as married my cousin.” i gene etais arou , . ¥ si though her eyes laughed and cer- tainiy her lips twitched. Why, no,” she replied, “Bid Wilson The words were simple enough, yet he a felt blinded as though by «@ great, white so Sudden was the revulsion of ~ Margaret!” he her in a sudden embrace, ich caused Lady’ Jane to stop eating a look up. perf: — MR. &MRS.

So Robin fiew back to his nest behind HE weather had been so fine that Robin Redbreast had lingered in the North later than usual, ard eaid. the winter, : gi5s FEES sft Te i | 2. all at once he discovered that all his family had left and he was alone. “I believe I will stay here this year," “What is the use of taking that long trip when it is so warm ard sunny right here? I'll look about and find a home behind a biind or under the eaves of some house, and there I. will live until the summer comes again. ’ So Robin built a nest behind a bro- iken blind and felt he was nicely fixed but one morning he awoke and the ground was all white. “Now, what in the world is that all over the ground” said Robin. What lovely soft stuff that | “It looks I'll fly right down, E i ; ; 5 Drother?’’ q | the blind to think what he should do. The wind blew and then the snow be- gan to fall, but Robin sang just the, same, for his grandmother had told him that cheerfulmess drove away sor- row and that a cheeery pong helped not only himself but others as well. So Robin sang and sang in spite of the cold snow, and by and by he saw two eyes looking straight at him through the side of the biind. At first he was very much frightened, but as the eyes looked at him kindly Robin kept on. singing. “Poor little Robin Redbreast,’’ said the little boy to whom the eyes be- longed; “he is cold and hungry, as we are, I expect. I guess I won't close the blind, sister, even ff it would keep out a littie cold; it will apoll Robin Red- breast's home if we do.’ “Let me see him," said another voice and Robin saw other eyes looking at him from the corner of the blind. “Oh! you poor little birdje."” said another voice. “I wonder if you are cold and hungry as we are. Shall we give him a bit of our bread, “Yes. we will share our dinner with Robin, poor birdie.” said the brother. “Here, sister, give it to him.” bread through the shutter, and. | strange to say, Robin did not feel The little girl pushed a crumb ‘i afraid; he poked out his bill and picked the crumb and ate it. “It is all we have Robin Red- breast,"" said the giver. ‘‘We are very poor and mother had no money this mornihg, so we have only half a loaf for our dinner, and we are cold, too. We have no fire, Robin, so we know how you feel, poor little birdie. Here is another crumb." , Robin picked at the crumb and then he began to sing again. It was all he gould do to thank them. The children were so pleased with his song that they forgot all abdut being cold and hungry, and when he stopped singing Robin saw the sun and it melted the snow, so Robin found plenty of worms for his dinner. The next day it was cold again, but Robin sat on his nest and sang as cheerily as though the sun was shin- ing. and presently he gaw the eyes that had looked at him the day be- fore. “Here, Robin Redbreast.’’ said a voice, “you shall have all you wapt today; we have plenty of food and fire, too.” Robin flew off his nest and hopped on the window sill, for there were many bread crumbs, and right in the corner of the sill stood a MIittle tin dish of water. Oh, what a se feast Robin had! He ate and ate until his little stomach was full, and then he flew back to his nest, where it was warm, and began to sing again. The eyes looked at him again in a few minutes and a voice said, “Thank you, Robin, for your song, and mother says it Was because we shared our bread with you yesterday that God sent the kind lady to us with the food end warm clothes: but you were braver than we, because you sang and we cried when we were cold and hun- gry until we heard you sing, and then we forgot we were cold and iiptened to your ; my Robin Redbreast was very happy. for he knew his song had not been in vain.
