POLICE SERGEANTS MUST NOT HOB-NOB WITH PATROLMEN Chief Young Says Familiarity Is IAkely to Reduce Standard of Efficiency. The transfer of all police captains ts districts new to them was made to- day and the transfer of the lieutenants will take place tonight. Chief Young today said one object of the change was to make discipline more strict in al the districts and es- pecially to bring sergeants to a greater sense of their responsibility. The newly transferred captains, he said, were ex- pected to see that sergeants were not too familiar, friendly or lenient with the patrolmen in their precincts. There should be no hob-nobing be- tween sergeants and policemen, he said, erd their communications should be ccnfined to police business. Hereafter when a patrolman is charged with neglect of duty his sergeant also will be sent before the Police Board under charges and required to tell why he did not kep the patrolman up to the required standard of efficiency. U. S. IS EXPECTED TO BUY HORSES IN EAST ST. LOUIS Type ot Cavalry Animals From That for Allies and up- ply Is Plentiful. Officials of commission firms at the National Stockyards are expecting an early entrance of the U. S. Government into the war horse market. It was learned that the shortage of cavalry horses that has been found by the Brit- ish, French and Italians will not affect this Government, if it makes large or- ders. The type of horses used by American cavalry is radically different from that used by the allies. American cavalry animals are small-boned and breedier“ than the heavy, rough horses used by the Europeans. There are plenty of such horses in the country, a stockman said. CLUB WILL OUST THE KAISER Yachtsmen to Drop Him and Prince Henry From Rolls. NEW TORK March 22.—The Atlantic Yacht Club has found a way to oust Emperor William of Germany and Prince Henry of Prussia, who are hon- orary members. The club’s constitution provides a member cannot be dismissed without an opportunity to defend himself against charges. The directors will notify the Emperor and Prince by publication that they are to be dropped from the rolls and if neither replies in 10 days, they will be declared no longer members. PACIFIST ELECTED IN GERMANY Socialist Once Under Arrest Wins Liebnecht’s Diet Seat, LONDON, March 22.—Dr. Franz Meh- ring has been elected to the seat of Dr. Karl Liebknecht, in the lower house of the Prussian Diet, according to a Berlin dispatch to Reuter's by way of Am- sterdam. Dr. Mehring is a member of the So- cialist minority which is opposed to the war and was led by Dr. Liebknecht to the time of his imprisonment on charger of treason. wen L. VAN BLARCOM ESTATE UNSETTLED AFTER NINE YEARS Probate Court Criticised by Commerce Bank Attorney for Unpardonable Delay.“ FINAL ACTION WANTED Return of Fees by Attorneys and Mrs. Van Blarcom Asked for in Suit. George Lockeit Edwards, attorney for the National Bank of Commerce, today characterized as “unpardonable delay“ the action of the Probate Court of St. Louis, of which Charles W. Holtcamp is Judge, in permitting the estate of Jacob C. Van Blarcom, former presi- dent of the bank, to go without final settlement for nearly nine years. In this time, Ndwards said, Mrs. Mary G. Van Blarcom, the widow, as exe- cutrix of the estate, has been permit- ted to withdraw from it at least $52,- 034.15 in commissions and allowances, and her attorneys, Boyle and Priest, have received 933,081.67 in fees, while ths general creditors have received, nothing on their-claims amounting to more than $2,000,000. Suit for Settlement. The suit asking that a final ec be made was filed in the Probate Cour yesterday afternoon by Edwards as attorney for the Bank of Commerce and other creditors. The other plaintiffs are the Stifel, Nicolaus, Parsons Invest- ment Co., the Continental and Commer- clal National Bank of Chicago and Charles F. Spalding, Robert H. MeEl- wee and Graham Harris, executors of the estate of Jesse Spalding. The petition asks that Mrs. Van Blar- com and her attorneys- be required to pay back to the creditors the money al- leged to have been improperly allowed to them as commissions and fees. Van Blarcom died Aug. 24, 1908, and his will, naming his widow as executrix, was probated Sept. 12, 1908, Proved claims of creditors against bis estate dggregat-: ed $2,206,778.19, of which the National Bank of Commerce held. $1,514, 669.58. Collateral for Debts. The collateral for these debts, held by creditors, consisted mainly of stock and bonds of the Tennessee Central Rall- road Co., in which Van Blarcom had been heavily interested. Attorney Edwards holds that this col- lateral, being in the possession of the creditors, should not have been consid- ered a part of the estate, but figures which he has compiled from the Pro- bate Court records show that, when the collateral was sold by the creditors and applied on their claims, Mrs. Van Blar- com was permitted by the court to col- lect a commission of approximately $30,- 000 on these sales. It is the creditors’ contention that she was entitled to no commission as she did not conduct the sales and the col- lateral sold did not belong to the es- tate. Attorney Edwards said the Missouri Supreme Court, in the case of Hitchcock and Mosher, had decided that an ex- ecutor was not entitled to fees when creditors sold collateral and applied the proceeds to their claims on an estate. He said he understood it had been the practice in the St. Louis Probate Court to allow such commissions and that this had greatly increased the cost of handling and winding up estates here. Value of the Estate. Van Blarcom’s estate when probated had a face value of $3,255,114.98. The pe- tition in yesterday's suit alleges that its present actual value is less than $300; 000. John G. Lonsdale, president of the Bank of Commerce, today issued a statement in which he said the peti- tion in the Van Blarcom case “doas no mean that the bank is after anv ene. or has any desire to caure any- ct trouble or annoyance.” it was in keeping. he said, with the bank’s policy to collect just debts: ‘ The Post-Dispatch ts the only evening rewspaper in St. Louls that receives or bub- ene news gathered by the Associated Press. —— figures : of all 3 by 2 columns.

PETROGRAD, March 21. via London, March 22.—A story related of the for- mer Empress Alexandria, illustrating her pro-Germanism. The occasion was a visit to a hospital where, when she was conversing with a wounded officer, the officer described a German defeat in which the routed regiment turned and ran. What regiment?’’ inquired Alexandra. A certain Hessian regiment wag men- tioned, whereupon Alexandra indig- nantly replied: [t is untrue. The Hes- sians never show their backs to the enemy.“ AMERICAN AVIATOR REPORTED BROUGHT DOWN BY GERMANS James R. McConnell Said to Have Fallen Inside Teutoni¢ Lines —His Fate Unknown. PARIS, March 21.—It is reported here that James R. McConnell, an American aviator, has been lost. Ac- cur ding to the report reaching Paris, MeConnell fell inside the German lines, and it is not known whether he was killed, wounded or escaped, aithough it is believed his machine wat wrecked. McConnell was a veteran member of the Lafayette (formerly called the An erican) escadrille and was a team- mate of Norman Prince, Victor Chap- man and Kiffen Rockwell before they were killed in aerial battles. Lieut. William Thaw is the only remaining original member of the escadrille, ElHott Cowden being in the United States and Bert Hall in Russia. McConnell was born in Ithaca but lived in New York City. He was re- rorted brought down on Monday. FRENCH COMMANDER'S ENTRY INTO NOYON WAS IMPRESSIVE People and Soldiers Wept While Gen. Nivelle Was Being Officially Received. PARIS, March 22.—The entry into Noyon of Gen. Nivelle, French Comman- der in Chief, was impressive. When with his aids he alighted from an au- tomobile the notes of the Marsellaise were heard. The emotion of the people was great. Sobs were heard throughout the crowd and the faces of the soldiers were wet with tears. The Mayor and several old men greeted Gen. Nivelle. A child, her hair in tricolored ribbons, took a bouquet to him and he kissed her. Gen. Nivelle visited the hospital and pinned a war cross on the habit of Sister Romuald, who during the 30 months the town was occupied by the Germans showed great devotion to the inhabitants. Because of the precipitate departure of the Germans, Noyon suffered less that Roye. However, several buildings were destroyed, notably the Cathedral and the railroad station. Besides the 50 young girls who are reported officially to have been taken off, the Germans are said also to have carried away as hostages 12 young men, several priests, doctors, druggists and some notables. PREDICTS DEMOCRACY’S SPREAD Berlin Paper Warns Government Delaying Prussian Suffrage. LONDON, March 22.—The Berlin Vor- waerts says the Russian revolution in- dicates that one of the consequences of the war will be the far-reaching democ- ratization of Europe, according to a Berlin dispatch to Revters’ by way of „Amsterdam. The paper scores the Pan- Germans for holding that after the war will be time enough to settle the ques- tion of direct suffrage in Prussia and adds: It will be a great and dangerous mis- take if equal suffrage is not introduced into Prussia while the war is actually going on.“ ‘WE WON'T FIGHT’ ORGANIZATION Formed at Galena, Kan., te Oppose Militarism. GALENA, Kan., March 22.—An organ- ization to be known as the W. W. F. (We Won't Fight), was formed by sev- eral residents. The organization an- nounces its purpose to be the discour- agement of young men from enlisting as soldiers. It also will work against the Boy Scout movement and several or- ganizations which it classes as ‘mili tary.”’ PARIS TO SOISSONS TRAINS Service Stepped Early tn War Will Be Resumed Tomerrew.

Louls evening PREMIER TELLS PUST - DISPATCH OF NEW RUSSIA “So Wonderful 1 Can Hardly Believe Myself That It Is All True.“ EFFECT ON THE WAR Attache of Department Declares That Change Has Refreshed Spirit of Army. By ARNO DOSCH-FLEUROT A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and New York World. (Copyright, 1917, by Press Pub. Co.) PETROGRAD, March 19.—‘*This is the new Russia, said Prince Lvoff, Pre- and actual head of the Russian Government, in an exclusive granted to me this morning. he old Russia of tradition has passed like a bad dream,“ he continued. The democratic genius of the Russian people has proved itself by upsetting the greatest autocracy in the world and accepting and getting in running order in five days a democratic form of gov- ernment. ‘It is so wonderful that I can hardly believe myself that it is all true. But happily it is. We knew what we could do. We have gone ahead ana done it. and now, a week after the revolution began, the whole country is in smooth running order; the bureaucratic obstacle is gone; the new Russia is efore us. The future is so brilliant I hardly dare to look into it.“ I had the extraordinary experience in Russia of calling at the Ministry of the Interior, sending in’ my personal card, asking to see his private secretary, and being received within 10 minutes by the Premier, without ceremony. Jam glad to see an American news- paper man,“ said the affable Prince. It gives me an opportunity to tell the American people directly that the Rus sian people took hold themselves the moment the old, incompetent imperial Government failed, and, with remark- ably little disturbance, entirely reformed their Government. They proved they were ready for it. * “Though 1. a Russian, say so, no compliment too great can be paid the Russian people by their fellow-democfats in America. Their restraint, their quick understanding and the readiness of all classes to turn immediately to the work of prosecuting the war to a successful conclusion, I believe to be unprecedented in history. Prepared for the Change. “The only disorders were in Petrograd, and those, under the circumstances, were small. Even Moscow accepted the situation quickly and the rest of the country turned from the empire to re- tublican institutions as if thoroughly mentally prepared for the change. “This is my third day in this office in the active duties of Minister of the Interior, involving the whole interior administration of this vast country but I was able to change all int) a better and smoother government in one day by simply ‘removing the imperial gov- ernors and substituting the heads of the local Zemstvos, “To the Zemstvos we owe our success in instituting a better informed and equipped local government than by im- perial appointees. The Emperor, by in- sisting under the bureaucratic regime in sending Governors to provinces under the inefficient supervision of Petrograd unconsciously did Russia a great serv- ice. He made it necessary for the Zem- stvos to perfect organizations and choose capable local men for their heads, there- by providing throughout Russia complete organizations, loyal to the Government, needing only the removal of the old governors to permit of their doing the work they were eminently fitted for but impeded in by the old regime. As head of the national Zemstvos, Prince Lvoff was in personal touch with these local presidents, now natura heads of the Government, and, on that account, was chosen Premier. In Moscow, he continued, the cen- tral Zemstvos officers, working to pro- vide for the needs of the army, has had a saying during the war that Russia was fighting on five fronts, four against the enemy, one against Petrograd. The Petrograd bureaucratic brake has now gone. cannot tell in how many ways the bureaucracy hampered the work of the Zemstvos. I can only appreciate it mys self now that I am in a position to send the bureaucrats away. At the same time we are not unnecessarily upsetting our institutions. Those able to fit into the new regime are remaining. There is an enormous amount of work ahead, but everyone is seizing on it with a fresh, eager spirit, able to work un- shackled by an incompetent autocracy. We ask our American friends to rejoice with us in a free and happy Russia.” Effect om Conduct of Wari The most important aspect at present of the successful conclusion of the rev- olution being its effect on the conduct of the war, I asked War Minister Guch- koff his views on this point. and he detailed Capt. Smoliansky, his attache, to give me the following exclusive re- ply. “All workmen in the munitions and artillery factories returned to work this morning with fresh spirit and hopes, knowing that the revolution is bringing great changes in the conduct of the war. “These are chiefly the removal of dis- abilities of religion, of race or class hampering the organization of the ar- mier, interview Continued om Page 3, Column 1. vik dead „ : Revolutionary Chief Who Tellsthe Post-Dispatch of ‘The New Russ PRINCE GEORGES E.

Thirry-two applied yesterday . the first day the office was open, but only, 10 of them were accepted. The principal reasons for rejection are 40. fects of vision and hammer toes,“ overlapping toes which impair marching ability. Harry Barman, 53 years old, a sales- man, who gave his address as 100 North Broadway, applied for enlistment, but was told that the age limit was 35 in the present recruiting. He said he would write to the War Department, of- fering his services in any capacity. His father was a soldier in the Indian cam- paigns, he said. Mrs. Sarah Dorsey, wife of Sergt. R. Dorsey of Company E, filed an ap- plication for enlistment in, Red Cross service. This will be forwarded to the Red Cross authorities. Four Captains are in charge, by al- ternate shifts, of the station. They are Captains Sugden of Company G, Faught of E, Lioyd of F and McMahon of H. Lieut. Wackenfeldt is medical exam- iner. Recruiting for the Navy. At the navy recruiting office, In the Federal Building, eight applications were received up to 10 o'clock. The usual daily average is four or five. Lieut. Lankworthy, in charge of the office, said he anticipated that the re- cruiting, in the next few days, would be heavier than at any time since the Spanish-American war. At the marine corps recruiting office, 122 North Seventh street, six of ll ap- plicants, up to II o'clock this morning, were accepted, and two others were told to return for another examination. Those accepted were Clarence Hentzel of Wellington, Kan., Floyd Durham of Hannibal, Mo., William Sanford of 1313 Division avenue, East St. Louis; Roy E.

As soon as it shall be definitely shown that there is a prospect of serv- ice, he believes, there will be as many men as the office can handle. a — LONDON, March 22.—A Petrograd dis. patch to Router s says political prisoners released from the Hertchinsk prison ‘n OF GERMAN SPY BUREAU TWO YEARS FOR HEADS. Fines Also Imposed on Two Men Who Sent Man to England for War Secrets. NEW YORK, March 22.— Albert 0. Sander and Charles N. Wunnenberg whe pleaded guilty yesterday to a charge of having sent spies to En- gland from this country to gather in- formation for the German nillitary authorities, today were sentenced to serve two years in the Federal prison at Atlanta and to pay a fine vf $2599 each, Before Sander and Wunnenberg sentenced, Assistant U. 8. Attorney John C. Knox informed Judge Van Fleet they were mere tools” in the con- spiracy and urged severe punishment as a warning to others. He asserted the defendants had sent George Vaux Bavon, an American newspaper man, to England to obtain information about „the location of anti-aircraft bases and the shore anchorage of a certain cable.“ “By their actions they have cast the shadow of suspicion upon every honest American newspaper correspondent in England.“ Knox told the court. “They sent their agents into a den of lions and it is only by the grace of the Govern- ment of Great Britain that Bacon, the acknowledged spy, lives to tell the tale. “For this work Bacon was advanced $1000 by Sander and Wunnenberg,” Knox continued, and was promised $125 as weekly pay. He was also supplied with invisible ink, with which to write, under covers of letters upon trivial sub- jects, military intelligence and instructed to forward communications of that char- acter to a “spy master’ in Holland, who would see to it that they reached the proper authorities in Germany. He was especially directed to locate anti- aircraft bases and the landing on the English shore of a certain cable. Ba- con was not the only spy sent out by Sander and Wunnenberg, and several other newspaper men still abroad have not yet been indicted. ‘The enterprise which these defend- ants started here was but another link in the serles of willful, deliberate and premeditated violations of American laws intended to serve the purposes of Germany and by pleading guilty San- der and Wunnenberg have best served the German empire by preventing the exposure of the men behind them who rlanned the enterprise and furnished funds for its execution.” FEDERAL AGENTS GUARD LOCAL BRIDGES AND MUNITION PLANTS Agents of “he Departanent of Justice, it became known today, have for i dyn ih _. | By Associated Press.

O. Hyman, After Announce- ment, Testifies in Whisper to Judge and Lawyers. BROESSEL AIRS AFFAIR Pay $10,000 to Prevent Alienation Suit. Thomas 0. Hyman, treasurer of the L. M. Rumsey Manufacturing Co. and father of Mrs. Pearl Elizabeth Nolker, afternoon that Nolker gave to his at- torney two drafts for $000 each and another for $1900 to quiet the alienation sult threatened by Carl Broessel of New York and that Nolker admitted writing said: “My darling May, I hope it will not be long before we are one. Hyman’s testimony was frequently in- terrupted by objections from. Abram Frumberg, Nolker’s. attorney, who had a leading role in the testimony given by the witness. Hyman gave his version of all the negotiations regarding the; Broessels, and proved a sprightly wit- ness, willing to add his own comments upon the evidence he was giving. Says Nolker Was Worried. In Sept. 21 or 2, 1915, the witness re- lated, Nolker went to Hyman’s office with such an air of worry that his father-in-law asked him whether he was in trouble. * “Yes, I am,“ he said Nolker replied. A man named Cari Broessel, an auto- me. A year ago I met his wife at the Hotel Jefferson and we got well ac- quainted.’’ Here Hyman announced that he was about to make a statement which would cause all the ladies in the court- room to close their ears.’’ The attorneys surrounded him at Judge Cave’s bench, and Hyman stated something in a whisper. It certainly looked funny to me, Judge,“ the witnegs then added, in aud- ible tones. Frumberg protested vigor- ously against this commentary. „Well,“ Hyman continued, “I asked Bob if they had anything against him on paper. He said he had written sev- oral letters to Mrs. Broessel. I told him he had made the mistake of his life, and asked him what was in the letters. He told me that in one he wrote: ‘My darling May, I hope it will not be long before we are one.’ I told him instant- ly that the only thing he could do was t» see an attorney. He asked me what I thought of Abe Frumberg, and I said thought he was all right.“ Two days later, the witness related, he and Nolker went to Frumberg's or- fice, where he said the latter did most of the talking. He told us, said Hy- man, “that Broessel was threatening to sue Bob for $260,000, but said that a friend of Frumberg’s, a Mr. Kleuge, liv- ing in Englewood, N. J., with whose automobile firm Broessel’s father was connected, had persuaded Broessel to reduce the amount first to $25,000, then to $15,000 and, finally, to $10,000. Hyman said he remarked: ‘‘Mr. Frum- GET THIS HABIT AS WELL AS THE MEN Don’t eat bite of breakfast until you drink a glass of hot water.

He said his relations with Nolker were to his son-in-law, because the latter was very disputatious, and was disposed to “start 4 scrap” if anyone did not agree with him. At his home and Nolker’s home, he said, he noticed that, when- ever any statement made by Nolker was questioned, Nolker would jump up and bang the table, and declare angrily that he knew what he was talking about. Hyman said he paid the expenses of hid daughter, Mrs. Teasdale, now Mrs. Fynn, when she lived with the Nolk- ers, except her board. He also said he gave Mrs. Nolker money before her departure for Europe and sent her money while she was ‘there. Argues with Lawyer. Attorney Frumberg questioned Hy- man about the negotiations with Stern & Haberman, and asked whether they had not at one time demanded a $20,000 settlement in the Broessel case. Hyman | said hat, at the conference which he attended, the proposal came from Frum- berg and was in the sum of $10,000, it the woman will give us a release, as well as the husband.“ He added that he once heard Frumberg tell Mrs. Nolk- er she was entitled to a divorcé, as “Bob is very weak.’ Frumberg de- nied that he ever said this. In this discussion Hyman talked so angrily that Judge Cave ordered hi mnot o argue with the lawyers, but to answer questions. After being excused, Hyman said he had forgotten something, and he was. recalled and permitted to state that Nolker had admitted to him that the Broessels had“ him, and that he had been guilty of an act of infidelity. He said he advised Nolker not to tell Frum- berg this. 8 Plaintiff Rests Case. The case of the plaintiff in the Nolker suit was rested at 10:40 a. m. and the first witness for Mrs. Nolker., Charles V. H. Roberts, a stock broker who described himself as a poet, was placed on the stand. He Is a son-in- law of Paul Bakewell, an attorney. Roberts told of visits puid by Mrs. Nolker to the Roberts home in Kirk- wood during the period from 1912 to 1915, and said that although liquors, wines and beers were served, Mrs. Nol- ker never tasted any. He denied the assertion of a previous witness that one day, when Mrs. Nolker left the Roberts’ residence in company with MeNair II- genfritz, pianist, she was intoxicated and cursed as she got into an automo- bile. Asked what was done during these visits, Roberts.said he and Ilgenfritz would play the piano, and Mrs. Nolker and the witness’ sister would sing. He described Ilgenfritz as ‘‘a very ladylike gentleman,” but explained that he meant no aspersions on the _ pianist’s morals. - Met Nolkers in Paris. Roberts continued that he met the Nolkers in the Ritz Hotel in Paris in December, 1914, and that Nolker pro- fessed great pride in his wife’s progress as a singer. Nolker stated, according to the witness, that he was planning to take her to Nice to continue her studies under some operatic star. He thought Nolker mentioned the name of Mme. Calve. Roberts’ mother and sister re- turned with Mrs. Nolkei from Paris, the witness said, and he went alone to New York to meet them, Nolker having refused to accompany him. On cross-examination, Attorney Frumberg asked Roberts whether he didn’t have a divorce case on his hands at present The witness showed considerable fndignation and pretested to the court. He was not required to anewer. Roberts’ wife sd him for divorce last week. “Are you a poet?” continued Frum- borg. es, replied Roberts, and when asked whether he hdd any other oc- cipation, said he was in the stock and bond business. | Called for Riccardi. The last witness for the plaintiff was Edward Bates, a chauffeur, % Texas avenue, who testifi hat during last summer he called at the St. Regis Apartments, where the Nolkers lived, several times at 1 a. m. for Attorney Constantine Ricardi, and had to wait for him until 2:30 or 8 o'clock. He would then drive Riccardi, he said, to | the Warwick hotel or to the baths at the Planters. Bates said he did not know either Nolker or his wife. He was questioned as to what part of the gt. Regis Riccardi usually emerged from, and said it was sometimes the centér and sometimes the west court. 7 aH F 1 Karl Friedrich, Cousin of Kaiser, Who Piloted Airplane Over Enemy Lines, Missing. BERLIN. March 2, by wireless to Sayville.—Official announcement was made today that an airplane piloted by Prince Friederich Karl, a cousin of Emperor William, has not returned from a raid over the lines between Arras and Perrone. — — friendly, but that he had little to say prince Friederich Karl is the second son of Prince Karl Freiderich Leopold of Prussia. He is 2% years old. With his brother, Prince Friederich Sigis- mund, . he joined the German flying corps last January. Prince Friederich Karl is credited with being the first German officer to enter Liege. Last fall with the assistance of three Aussars he captured a French patrol of 2 men on the Somme. Both these young Princes have been enthusiastic sportsmen, and before the war Prince Sigismund designed a suc- cessful airplane. Prince Karl partici- pated in the Olympic games at Stock- holm, where he won prises against the most experienced army riders of the world. The death in active service of eight German Princes have been reported pre- viously during the war—one of Hesse, two of Saxe-Meiningen, three of Lippe, one of Ruess and one of Waldeck. Herz Fri.

WASHINGTON, March 22.—The navy is short 13,514 men of its present author ized enlisted strength of 74,500, and et- forts to speed up recruiting are being redoubled. The present month has seen the largest enlistments on record, with a Lnet increase of 1947. Since Congress au- ‘theorized the 74,600 total in September, 5454 men have been added to the navy's personnel. 8 To induce recruiting, Congress pro- vided that 100 enlisted men a year should ‘be selected by examination for appoint- ment to the Navy Academy. Navy of+ ficials say that a very high type of of- ficer material is being obtained. The way to commissions in the marine corps and to responsible and well paid posi- tions as warrant of petty officers is also being opened as fully as possible to boys who enlist. , A recruit need serve only one year in the navy to be eligible for examination for appointment to Annapolis and every opportunity for study and instruction to enable him to pass the examination is furnished aboard the ships or at the training stations.

BERLIN, March 19, by wireless to Sayville, 2.—‘A Geramn suc- cas is the characterization given the March German retreat on the western front in the head line of an editorial tdday on this subject by Maj. Moraht, military writer for the Lokal Anzeiger. “A great resolution was taken,“ Maj. Moraht writes. Phe boldness of the General who carried it out is over- whelming, and only the power of Von Hindenburg's personality could cause such proof of ihe grand style of initia- tive to be accompanied by perfect calm and security. That the plan of a strategical short- ening of the front was brought into being at great headquarters and that it succeeded must give joy to every German heart and simultaneously give rise to a feeling of satisfaction when the hostile war aims are remembered. For now the opportunity is offered to in- flict more damage upon the enemy in future days than could be inflicted upon him at the moment during a sanguinary defensive. 7 “Although people are often mistaken as to their surmises regarding Von Hin- denburg's actions, the critics on all sides who look somewhat deeper into things admit that the Germans will obtain economic advantage, an improvement of the front, and a gain of time by this move. The British, however, must again begin the preparation of their offensive. Their heavy artillery must be moved ahead with enormous protections. Roads aid bridges must be constructed, often under hostile fire. Ammunition trans- rort will be possible only in a very slow fashion. The condition of the evacuat- ec territory makes each advance move- ment difficult, as it does the lodging and provisioning of the troops, and ob- servation work. ö “The enemy will reproach us with the charge that we acted like the Rus- sians in Poland. As to this, France may settle accounts with England. The everything necessary and possible in a military way will be done in this de- fensive war. Whether the population of the war theater suffered more through our measures or the enemy's measures may be asked them in the time to come.“ CANVASS FOR GERMAN WAR LOAN LONDON, March 2—4 Hague dis- patch from the correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Co. says: “The German Ministry of Finance is organizing a great canvassing campaign for the sixth German war loan, which, in financial circles, is considered less successful than the previous loan, the subscriptions being one-third lower. Ber- lin and Frankfort bankers openly state that the present failure shows the use- lessness of launching a seventh loan.“ Germany Now Has Zine Coins.

By a Staff Oorrespondent of the Associated Press. WAR CORRESPONDENTS’ HEAD QUARTERS WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, Wednesday, March 21.—“We would have starved if it had not been for the American Relief Commission,“ declared a French wom- an in the city hall of Nesle today to the correspondent, speaking for herself and two little children, their pallid faces and high cheek bones giving evidence of their privations. Wherever one went in the territory re- cently evacuated by the Germans the same story was repeated. Many other stories of hardships were told, although most of the inhabitants said the Ger- man soldiers had been well disciplined and kept strictly under control. It was repeatedly asserted, however, that with- in the last few weeks the Germans had appropriated some of the American re- lief stores to their own use, even to the extent of three-fourths of the supplies. It also was said that the Germans took possession of the white flour, issuing black flour instead to the inhabitants. Spirits of People Broken. Some of the peasants encountered in the evacuated territory were plainly joyous at their liberation. Others ap- peared to have their spirits broken. Their attitude was one of absolute sub- mission to anything that might happen. Many young children who had seen nothing but German soldiers in their lives stared today in almost stupid won- der at the British Tommies clad in kha- ki and wearing steel hats. One of the greatest ordeals the peo- ple said they had to endure was to stand Dy and see their homes broken up by the Germans as the soldiers were leav- ing In some instances the French in- habitants who had been held virtually as prisoners during the German occupa- tion had been segregated in certain parts of the villages while the work of destruction was going on elsewhere. At Rouy, however, it was stated and re- iterated by scores of persons that the inhabitants of this village and of sev- eral other villages had been gathered at Rouy-Le Petit in certain houses and told to remain in them a certain num- ber of hours while the Germans got away. While so herded together, they | declared, the Germans had sent 200 shells into the village, killing several persons. The funerals which were in progress in the village today lent color to the story. People in other villages also assert that they distinctly heard this firing and thought that a battle was in progress. Boys Are Carried Off. It was pitiful to motor today through villages which had been far from the firing line and untouched by any shells and yet were lying in absolute ruins. Active steps are be- ing taken by both the British and the French to relieve the people in the liberated zone. About the only persons'seen are old men, women and children. Boys who had attained the age of 16 years or more since the German occupation and men who were considered over the military age by the French were taken off by the Germans for work behind their lines. Many of these French boys and old men had been compelled to work in the German trenches where they said they met many Belgians and Rus- sians, the latter, of course, being prisoners of war. It was asserted that one of the reasons for the wholesale deportation of Belgians was the nec- essity for this labor in constructing the new positions to which the Ger- mans have fallen back. The amount of work involved in sawing down fruit trees in the evacuated territory fs almost incal- culable, and everywhere the destruc- tion seems to have been carried out within the last few days. The Ger- man claim that some trees other than fruit trees were destroyed for the purpose of blocking the roads, this being justified by military law, was belied in many places where trees lining the roads and deliberate- ly cut down fell in positions away from the roadways. In any event, the clearing of the roads of fallen trees was a matter of comparatively few minutes. Splinter Causes Death of Child.

The first acts of the revolution inet cated that it would become a consti. tutional monarchy—like Italy, for ex- as the hereditary Prince. When the Czar abdicated in his brother’s favor the Grand Duke issued a declaration that he would not accept “until the time when a constituent assembly, created on the basis of universal suffrage, should have established a form of gov- ernment and new fundamental laws.” Whether this declaration was inspired“ by the revolutionary Duma committee or not, it pointed to the possible selec- tion of Michael after the essentials of popular government aad been established in an organic act. Monarch Would Be Figurehead. If such a monarchy is restored it is quite certain that no self-respecting ab- solutist would wish to be its figuie- bead. He would have no more actual power than the King of England. The English system is unique among the Governments of the world in that, though a monarch in name, it is purely representative, afid without a written Constitution. All powers are in the hands of representatives of the people in Parliament, though all acts run in the name of the King. Yet the English Government is limited by political tradi- tions, evolved through centuries of struggle against tyrannous rulers, and though unwritten they are nevertheless a potent force. If the Russians instituted such a sys- tem, having no body of political tradi- tions of their own, it would become a government of unlimited powers. The English-speaking peoples have learned that no such government is safe; that limitations and restraints must be placed upon governments to prevent not only the oppressions of rulers, but the tyrannies of majorities as well. Reports from Petrograd indicate a present leaning in Russia toward a rep- resentative republic after the Swiss model. Switzerland is a Federal union of B small cantons or states. Like our original 13 states, they have surrendered control of foreign relations and mat- ters of common concern, to a central government under a constitution. Two Houses of Parliament. They have an upper house of legisla- tion.like our Senate, having two mem- bers from each state and a lower house, to which the states also elect represent- atives on a basis of 1 to 0,000 popula- tion. These two legislative branches, known as the Council of States and the Na- tional Council, sitting together, choose the Federal tribunal and the executive, consisting of a commission of seven per- sons and known as the Federal Council. From among these seven executives they elect one each year to act as chair- man, who bears the honorary title of „President of the Swiss Confederation.” Tne Swiss cantons attend to their own domestic concerns, after the manner vf the states of our Federal Union. Russia already possesses the frame- work for the adoption of the Swiss or American system, in that there are 50 provinces in European Russia proper, ready to be made into constituent states. The largest in population is Kieff, with nearly 4,000,000; the largest in area, though the smallest in population, Is the province of Archangel, on the Arctic Ocean, with about 500,000. As for Siberia, it fits into such a sys- tem very much like our Louisiana Ter- ritory, out of which new states may be carved as time and progress indicate its wisdom. It is now very sparsely set- tled, though its great natural wealth in- sures a very large development in the future. Poland and Finland. Poland and Finland present interesting situations, with respect to the new or- der. That they will receive autonomy, if not independence, is a part of the logic of the revolution. In fact, Prof.. Milokoff, now provisional Foreign Min- ister, and a leading Liberal for years, has committed the Liberals to a recog- nition of the “rights of nationalities.” THE SAFE MEDICINE FOR ALL THE FAMILY Father John’s Medicine Treats Colds and Coughs Without ample—under the Grand Duke Michael, ! : By STERLING E. EDMUNDS, Lecturer on International Law, St. Louls University Law School. 12 permanent form in which Russia will take her place among the popular governments of the world is to be determined at once by a constituent assembly, to be chosen by universal suffrage, according to a manifesto of the provisional government. Such a plank was adopted at his in- stance at a congress of the Zemstva and Town Councils at Moscow as early as 1906. Theré appears to be little doubt of Po- land’s resurrection as an independent nation. In the case of Finland—which Was wrested from Sweden in 1815 as a punishment for aiding Napoleon—one might even speculate upon the possibil- ity of it rejoining the mother country, after a century of enforced absence. With Russia thus changed there re- main but three states in Europe which may be classed as politically backward states. They are Germany, Austria and Turkey. These are the states which have been revolution-proof. All of them possess Constitutions, but they are de- signed to protect the power of the no- bility and the aristocracy of wealth, rather than to give the people any re- sponsible share in the Government. The German people caught the spirit of democracy and attempted to put it into practice through the revolution of 1848, but all of its leaders were soon in exile. It is these political exiles, all fervent republicans, who have contrib- uted so much to the United States. Germany’s Constitution. The present Constitution of the Ger- man empire was the work of Bismarck, who sought to put Prussih in the sad- dle.“ It was adopted in 1871, after WII liam I, King of Prussia, was proclaimed Emperor of Germany, in the palace of Versailles, following the defeat of the French. It makes the King of Prussia, by that fact, Emperor of Germany. It established two so-called legislative houses and an electoral system, never since altered, which are peculiarly Bis- marckian. The upper house, the Bundesrath, is made up of members appointed by the Kings and Princes of the twenty-odd German states. The lower house, or Reichstag, is the “popular” branch. It is made up of a representative from each of the 397 districts arbitrarily es- tablished in 1871. All persons % years old may vote. The total taxes are di- vided into three equal parts, as a basis for computing the relative power of voters. The first third of the taxes are paid by about 4 per cent of the people: the second third by. about 12 per cent, and the last by the remaining d per cent. The vote of each class is of equal force. The result of the system is to make the Reichstag not a popular branch, but an assembly of the moneyed aris- tocracy. The Emperor, with the con- sent of the Bundesrath, may declare war; he makes treaties, is the chief of the army and navy, and he appoints and removes his Ministers without ac- counting to anyone. 8 Electoral reforms and ministerial re- sponsibility to a popular legislature have been demanded for years, but without result. Auttrian System Similar. The Austrian system bears a strong resemblance to the German, with little or no participation in the Government on the part of the people. The sittings of the so-called Austrian Parliament were suppressed when the present war broke out and there has been none since, unless very recently. In all the other states of Europe— Turkey excepted—popular contro! of the Government is assured under the prin- ciple of universal suffrage and the con- trol of Ministers by the representative legislative branch. These are the es- sentials in any effective liberal system.

A Rosenthal, editor of The Modern View,’ a weekly periodical devoted to Jewish interests, today cabled to the President of the Provisional Govern- ment at Petrograd, saying ‘‘American Jews of St. Lo rejoice in Russia’s glorious freedom. In an editorial this week Rosenthal predicts that the immigration problem in America will be materially affected by the establishment of a republic in Russia. The editorial, in part, says: “Of the most serious factors in the forcing of Jewish people to seave Russia for America, the misgovernment that happily has been dethroned was the greatest. “Assuming that the new regime will stand and that the high ideals promul- gated to the world will be practiced, the chief excuse for Russian immigration will have been removed. America will feel the consequence in a greatly les- sened volume of Russian Jewish tmmi- gration. Whether this diminution of Russian Jewish immigration will be viewed as an American loss of gain, the prejudice for or against the Russian Jewish immigrant in Amer- ica, will be the index. “The second channel through which America will feel the consequence of the Russian revolution will be in the new treaty between Russia and America, which will presumably include the rec- ognition of the passport of the United States held by Jewish citizens. This means undoubtedly an immense increase in commerce between the United States and Russia with the development of which the obstinacy of the Czar and his bigoted bureaucracy had seriously inter- fered.”’ GARDNER NAMES PAINTER, POOL AND ANDRAE FOR PRISON BOARD Management of Missouri’s Four Penal Institutions Will Be in Their Hands, JEFFERSON CITY, March 22.—Gov.

Dy Wire From the Washington Ba- of Congress in Washington are moving faster toward war than the President. Leading Senators and House members think a state of war has existed between Germany and the United States for sev- eral weeks. Many believe such a dec- laration should be made or that war should be declared outright as soon as Congress meets in special session April 2. One of the few members who seems to have any doubt as to the duty of the Congress is Senator Stone of Missouri, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. „I know that Col. Roosevelt, Mr. Root and other citizens in New York said that a state of war exists between this coun- try and Germany,” Stone said. “At least I saw that they so stated in the papers this morning. I have no opinion on the subject. I do not know what kind of a resolution we will be called upon to adopt when Congress assem- bles, or whether we will be called upon to adopt any.“ Only three Senators now in Washing- ton said flatly that this nation was not in a state of war. They were Sheppard of Texas, Lane of Oregon and Lewis of Illinois. We are in a state of revolt against aggression,” Lewis said. He said if this aggression should multiply so that the powers of the President to repel it were insufficient, Congress then should declare a state of war exists. Five Senators for . Five Senators declare unqu edly for war to protect American rights. They were Brady of Idaho, Brandegee of Con- necticut, Chamberlain of Oregon, Poin- dexter of Washington, and Lodge of Massachusetts. Senator Brady is for asserting our rights against enemies at the earliest possible moment.“ Brandegee said we had been in a state of war since ruth- less submarine warfare began, Feb. 1. Poindexter said we were in the war to all intents and purposes already, ‘and that it is a minor matter whether we make a declaration of war or not.” Chamberlain favored action that would “take us definitely out of the neutral class and make us a belligerent.” “I am clearly of the opinion that we are now, and have been for some time, in a state of war with Germany, owing entirely to the action of Germany,“ said e. “When Congress meets April 2 it will be its duty, in my judgment, to declare war against Germany, because in no other way can the rights of Amer- ican citizens be protected, our national independence be maintained and the fu- ture peace and security of the United States guaranteed.“ j Other Senators expressed themselves as follows: Norris, Republican, Nebraska: We are now in a state of war due to the acts of the President as much as of Ger- many. I do not know that a declara- tion of was is necessary.“ Swanson, Democrat, Virginia: I think we are in a state of war. Owen, Democrat, Oklahoma: I think we should declare that a state of war exists. Overman, Democrat, North Cdrolina: It looks like we are already in war. Fletcher, . Democrat, Florida: We ought to be getting ready, for it seems that war is inevitable; that we are in for it, in spite of everything. The Pres- ident is the leader in our affairs with foreign nations. It is the duty of every American citizen to get right behind him, Whatever he says is the thing to do. BGrady, Republican, Idaho: I think a state of war exists. I certainly think we should declare war. That is my judgment without qualification. The Government should assert its rights at the earliest possible moment. Nelson, Republican, Minnesota: I thought when the President armed the ships that was a limited state of war. I do not think we should declare war. Broussard, Democrat, Louisiana: I consider that we are in a state of war. The early call for Congress was a wise move. I do not think it is necessary to declare war. A resolution recognizing that a state of war exists would fill this situation better. Curtis, Republican, Kansas: The early call for Congress is very wise. We Ought to be together now. Jones, Republican, Washington: It is a question for Congress to determine. Ashurst (Dem.) Alizona: 1 think that we are in a state of war today. I do not care to say what we should do in regard to a declaration of war at this time.“ Sterlin (Rep.) South Dakota: “A state of war undoubtedly does exist between this country and Germany. Whether we should adopt a resolution to declare war on Germany I do not care to say at this tüme.“ Pittman (Dem.) Nevada: “Practically we are now at war. Whether we should declare war at this time is a matter that must come before us for consid- eration and action later.“ Newlands (Dem.) Nevada: 1 think that a state of war now exists, due to Germany’s acts.

Apparently four hostile cruisers with three funnels--- course southerly—The ships are trav- eling at full speed.“ With rapt attention, commanders, officers and signal assistunts gaze from the bridge in the di-éction des- ignated. Soon the ships can also be recognized as cruisers of the ‘“‘Cal- Hope“ class. This information is sent comes Ito the officer in command. At once the order comes back: „Attack!“ The cruisers hurry forth to meet their opponents with such great force, that the torpedo boats have diffi- culty in following them. But the moment the English notice the ap- proach of our ships, they turn quickly and tear away at their high- est speed. Wild Chase Begins. Now comes a wild chase. Mighty clouds of smoke well out of the funnels. The water from tie propellers ‘whirls high up on the sterns of the boats. The distance measurers are already at work. If the German chasers are getting all that they can out of their engines and bollers, the case is exactly the same with the enemy. The distance between doesn't lessen. To catch up is apparently impossible. But the enemy is Within range of our guns, The commander gives the order to open fire. Port side, first gun clear for fir- ing! orders the artillef} officor. Bang! and the lock is torn open—The shot is in place—The range is given. Fire!“ A sharp, pealing blow—a dull crash. The grenade whistles after the opponents and falls near them. A high column of water rises. Too short. A second shot follows. The third takes effect. White, biting powder vapors rise over the ship. The chase lasts for about half an hour In the meantime the battle cruisers have been steaming full ahead and fol- low after those in the lead. Far off, against the gray sky appears a little black spot. It comes visibly nearer, gets plainer, clearer. A mighty battle aeroplane which has been trans ported across the seas by the mother- ship of aeroplanese—the Cunarder, Cam- pania, 2 ey on. The iron-clad body sparkles and glitters. Now it is covered by the defense guns. Like a wreath of black and white dots the exploded shrapneis lie around At. Thicker and thicker grow the shells which bar its way. Now one seems to have taken effect. Like a start, a second-long, remain- where-you-are it passes through the body. Enough. Mounting straight in the air, the plane turns sharply and disappears from whence it came.

About half past four in the afternoon the apex of the German fleet is about seventy sea miles from the Skagerrak.

SHOWN FREE OF CHARGE Talbert. Got Idea in Detroit; Former Street Inspector Wrote Scenario. A motion picture of “Municipal Activ- ities,” shawing Mayor Kiel visiting va- rious city institutions and municipal projects, is being used as a factor in the campaign for the Mayor’s re-elec- tion. It is sent about the city on one-night stands in picture shows. The theater owner gets it at no cost and is glad to have it to fill out the evening’s pro- gram: the Kiel boosters don’t have to pay for having the film exhibited, and they rejoice in the advertising accruing for the Mayor. When a Post-Dispatch reporter asked friends and that they had paid for it. Got Idea in Detroit. Director of Streets and Sewers Tal- bert got the idea in Detroit, when on a junket there. He saw a film of Detroit's municipal activities, with Detroit’s May- or in the leading role. Talbert men- tioned it to a subordinate, Col. H. N. Morgan, a special inspector in the Street Department, and formerly in the motion picture business. Morgan wrote the scenario and direct- ed the taking of the film. The camera work was done by a St. Loulsan. Mor- gan said that although there are 2411 feet of film, normally costing 70 cents a foot, or $1687,70, he managed to get the work done for $400. Five members of the Board of Public Service paid the bill. They are Presi- dent Kinsey, Director of Streets Talbert, Director of Public Safety Swingley, Di- rector of Public Welfare Tolkacz and Director of Public Utilities Hooke. What Film Shows. The film begins by showing the statue of Saint Louis on Art Hill, Then Mayor Kiel and the members of the Board of Public Service are shown grouped under the statue. The Mayor and the board begin an inspection trip to the city in- firmary, city sanitarium, Bellefontaine farm and other city institutions. The film includes a visit on the harbor boat to the municipal docks now under con- struction, and also shows the Mayor speaking at the free bridge celebration, unlocking the big padlock on the free bridge and casting it into the Mississippi. The Mayor shakes many a hand on these visits and smilingly faces the movie fans in many scenes. Other municipal institutions, such as the zoo, fire depart- ment, city hospital, municipal courts building and jail, are screened. Morgan thought of almost everything that the Mayor could do, but it subse- quently has been pointed out that he failed to film the executive on the job at his desk at the city hall. At the end there is a close-up view of the Mayor, and then a reproduction of the now-famous appeal of the ‘‘Kie] indorsers’’ for the Mayor's re-election on the ground that the Mayor has carried out “$4 per cent of the work“ outlined in the Republican platform of four years ago.

A library of books signifies a fondness for good literature. Oriental rugs on the floor, mahogany furniture, Tiffany glass and Sheffield plate all testify to a woman’s love of the beautiful and artistic. So, too, The Encyclopaedia Britannica is a Symbol of Culture. This great work is a literary masterpiece, a recognized authority on knowledge. Its range of subjects is so vast thatitis of practical daily value to university presidents, college professors, scholars, journalists, scientists, finan- ciers, business men. It appeals alike to men and women. You will find the new Britannica in homes of refine- ment and culture. It implies a love of knowledge, or an appreciation of literature and the fine arts, or a desire to obtain a broader outlook. When you see the Britannica in a man’s home, you know instinctively that the man and his wife and their children are intelligent and interesting. And everyone likes well-informed, intelligent persons. You wouldn’t think of paying several hundred dollars for a piano merely to say you had a piano. You buy a piano because of your love of music. Nor would you think of buying a set of the Britannica merely to adorn a corner of your living room. The very fact that you want to own the Britannica is evidence that you are a cultured man or woman, or intend to be. And you certainly ought to on a set. What is home without a complete and interesfing work of reference? If you are one of the 160,000 present owners of the new Britannica, you know that the Britannica is not merely ornamental.

On the other hand, it seems to me, it would have been the natural cumstances. Ordinarily, it is true, the injection of questions of purely national politics in a municipal campaign is unnecessary—though it 18 frequentiy done. But the reason it is unneces- sary is that what.a candidate for a city office may believe or disbelieve as regards, let us say, the doctrine of protection or free trade, cannot in the least affect his fitness or fidelity for the po- sition to he aspired; and in his capacity as a mun ners concern one way or another with the question. But it ts quite different with regard to our present inter- natinal difficulties. We have bridges and water works and pubtiie buildings and factories that must be safeguarded against attack. And the part at least, on the officials of the city govern- ment. It would, therefore, be very discomfort- ing if even so much as a suspicion should get abroad that these officials, or any of them, were not loyal te the core, were divided in their al- legiance, or cherished even a tolerant thought for the conduct of the Government that has been warring against us. It is far from my purpose to question the loy- alty of any man on the Republican ticket, much less the party in general. I am only criticising those who control the party’s policies for not de- claring” themecives boldly and without equivoca- tion on the most serious question now before the people. I am informed that a proposition to sideration, and it was decided not to make it. tion, zust as there was for the contrary course pursued by the Democrats. I think it ts safe to assume that the Democratic politicians were in- fluenced to make the declaration, partially at least, by the belief that it would make votes for their ticket. And if so, then it ts not unreasonable to conclude that the fatiure to make it by the Republicans was the fear of losing voter.

Greater Republican leaders than Mayor Kiel or Chairman Schmoll hold a different opinion with regard to the duty of citizens and organizations to declare their support of the President. The Union League Club of New York, the greatest Republican club in America, passed ringing reso- lutions declaring that “it will earnestly support the President of the United States in making im- mediate and vigorous use of the powers already vested in him to forestall and repel. German at- tacks,” and calling upon the people to face tte fact that war with this country exists by the alt of Germany and that the whole united weicht of American loyalty must be concentrated upon ¢-- fective governmental action.” Charles E.

It is time that the Ameri- can people understood it. All organizations exercising public influence should record their convictions. Elihu Root, ex-Secretary of State, ex-Senator and one of the greatest Republican leaders, sad. 4 My diagnosis of the situation is that the President wants to hear from the people. He has said so many times. He wants to hear whether the people of the United States want him to go on and act. Let us answer him and tell him that the American people do not want him to disoués, to plan or to talk about what is going to be done, but to act. and organizations of all parties and races are rallying to the support of the Government and ar. yoicing their approval of the President's stanz, why did the local Kepublican organization de- cline to speak out?

Religious liberty, one of the first articles of sian Government, means more to the Slav na- tion than is generally believed. It means that 70,000,000 inhabitants of the country who do not profess the Greek Catholic faith will have equal rights in government, in educational advantages and in choice of residence. The abolition of the Jewish pale is likely to be an early step of the new democracy. : Of the 180,000,000 persons in Russia, only a Uttle over half belong to the orthodox church. ‘There are about 15,000,000 Roman Catholics, 16, 900,000 Mohammedans, 6,000,000 Jews and 5,000,- 000 Lutherans. The others are scattered among a score of faiths ranging from Armenian Greg- orists to Suddhists. Only members of the Orthodox church have been in possession of complete civil and military rights. Education hae been limited as far as the dis- senters were ¢onoerned. In fact there are many universities in Russia to which admittance is de- nied to Jews and those of other faiths. The granting of freedom of religious belief is one of the greatest steps forward in the demo- cratization of Russia. = 5 Mayor Kiel has discovered that this is no time to use ghe soft pedal when playing “The Star- = = = a) eo ._, ‘ WOMEN IN THE WAVY. Ahoy, Bo’s'n! Pipe all hands to chocolate eclair! Secretary Daniels has ruled that women may enlist in the navy.

They will be used to fill the numerous clerical positions at the Navy Depart- ment, so that men may be released for active sea duty. | ! The worst thing to be said against the new ar. rangement is that it violates custom.

It will de the duty of Congress when it meets to declare that by reason of these acts a state of war exists between the United States and Ger- many. It is because Germany is already making war against the United States that the President has changed the date of the special session and Amer- icans who have been looking for an international miracle which would keep the peace between the United States and Germany must face the situa- tion as it is. This country is going into the war, not for any selfish or ulterior motives, or for any mere trade considerations, but because it has been driven into the war by the inexorable logic of events. Nor need we waste time in lamentations. Rather should we face the future with pride and confi- | dence, conscious that the United States will be righting the battle of demoeracy alongside of the other great democracies of the world. The revolution in Russia has made an inevitable task immeasurably easier and simpler. To shed blood in a war which meant the aggrandizement of Russian autocracy’ was a sacrifice that could be demanded only with explanations and apolo- gies. But it is a different story when Russian democracy is fighting shoulder to shoulder with British, French and Belgian democracies for the rights and HMberties of mankind. That is some- thing to stir the pulse of even the most ardent disciple of peace. When Congress meets there should be no doubt of the determination of the American people to perform their full duty and play their full part, soberly, sanely and effectively. There should be no doubt about their determination to support the Government and give to it whatever it re- quires, men and money and service. In whatever sacrifices this country may make there is the additional assurance that the entrance of the United States into the war means an earlier and better peace. The war will be shortened and the common people of every country will be near- er to the new emancipation because the greatest of republics has cast its lot with the other democracies in resistance to a ruthless German militarism and a lawless German autocracy. — 0 — _—- = WE HAVE ONE ALTERNATIVE, Count Reverttlow writes in the Tages Zeitung: There is only one policy for the United States, as for amall European neutrals, name- ly, to retain their ships in their own ports as long as the war jasts. OE FE eet The Count is mistaken. That may be the one policy for the small European neutrals, but the United States has one alternative. Instead of keeping our ships in our own ports, we purpose to make certain vigorous dispositions and persist in those dispositions until American ships engaged the known world ag they would be in our ports. Incidentally, the war may not last quite as long as it would if we neglected these dispositions. The Germans triumphantly declare that the Hin- denburg retreat has spoiled the allied plans for an offensive tnis spring. Just as a man’s cam- paign to get a fortune is spoiled by suddenly in- heriting one. GERMANY’S SINISTER REQUEST. Germany is reported to have addressed to neu- tral Governments, especially to those of Switzer- land and Holland, proposals looking to a renewal of peace efforts. It is not so very long since like appeals were made to neutrals, especially to the United States. We not only assumed the thankless task of for- warding the request to Germany’s unreceptive en- emies, but proceeding on independent initiative, tried to discover if a common basis for peace did not exist by ascertaining the terms on which ali the belligerents would consent to end the war. We found later that during the very weeks we were engagéd in this beneficent work, giving to Germany the highest evidence of friendship which one nation can show to another, Germany herself was secretly planning the commission of acts of barbarous Warfare against us at sea. We found that even then she had engaged in a widespread conspiracy to raise up enemies against us on our own continent. We found that she was intriguing actively for the dismemberment of our territory. Switzerland and Holland had better be on their guard.’ The «intiness she asks at their handg is associated in American minds with a sinister quality. The moment when Germany begins to entreat her friends to make sacrifices in her be- half is the very moment when she may be per- fecting. designs for their hurt or even plotting their destruction. = = * SAPETY LAST IVY FRONT.

By NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH, NEW YORK, March 15. HE nation has become effemi- nate. George’ Washington would ‘not know. Us, and Gen.: Grant | | would be shocked to see’ the difference in manner and carriage between ‘the young men of today and the young men that marched behind him 50 years ago. Uncle Sam, who typifies our nation, has become effeminate, too. In the family of nations he has been growing less like a big he-man than a perfect lady; less an Uncle Sam than an Aunt Elizabeth. “We have yielded to the pleasures of the senses and of the appetites, to the pleasures of soft beds, beautiful houses and gently rolling automobiles; to physi- cal indolence, sweet music, silk stock~- ings and kid gloves; to fashionable so- ciety, golf and French novels; in a word, to luxury.” This vigorous indictment of the young ment of America was presented by Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske at a dinner given by members of the Lotos Club of New York to Major-General Leonard Wood. The charge has come from time to time from other less exalted sources and perhaps the most striking thing about it is its similarity to the accusa- tion of effeminacy and decadence brought against the men of France be- fore August, 1914. How France has answered it we know. And I am one of those who believe that the men of the United States would rally to the call of a just war with the same valor. Yet Prof. Thomas D. Wood, di- rector of physical training in Columbia University, told me that there is much in our national life to justify the Fiske indictment. The Young Have No Serious Purpose Nowadays. „The aims of American life for the last 50 years have been peace, security, com- fort, pleasure,“ Dr. Wood told me in his office in Teachers’ College. There is a spirit among certain groups of our young men—and among our young women, too —of living without serious purpose, merely to be amused. I doubt,“ the professor added smiling hopefully, it George Washington and Gen. Grant "Lhe a be quite so much impressed with of American Fibre by * . “pet d. WOOD | Admiral Fiske seems to fear. Perhaps the Admiral generalized a little too much from his observation of special groups. After all, the class which can duy softly rolling automobiles, kid gloves, silk stockings, etc., is limited in number. If the deterioration were a deterioration of_wealth alone we need not be particularly concerned about it. But in time of war the strength of this nation must be drawn from the country. And it is the country which has deterior- ated since the Civil War. There are no statistics relating to the physical vigor of the early 60s as compared with the young men of today. I can give you opinions only. My opinion is that while our individual athletic performances of the last decade have exceeded all feats of which we have any authentic record in human history the physical average is lower than it was 50 years ago. But the Women Have Improved Physically. “Among our young women, on the contrary, the physical average has ris- en, and I think we must credit the ex- ample of the college girl and her ideals of outdoor life with this improVement.”’ “Why have the young men of rural America declined in vigor?’’. I asked Dr. ood. “Before I answer that question,” re- plied the physical director of Columbia, “I must remind you that while the young men from the farms passed better examinations at the time of the Civil War it was found that the men from the cities had more staying power, greater endurance. Since that time much of the best human stock has moved from the farms to the cities. “The science and art of human liv- ing have advanced much more rapidly in the cities than in the country. This applies to the immediate human en- vironment in the country as well as to all habits of life affecting health. The farm house is, on the average, less sani- tary than the city home. The rural school is relatively the least healthful type of building in the entire country. The diet of the pople in the country s less hygienic, on the whole, than the food of the city dwellers. In general, the standards of human living in the cities, in relation to health, at least, the deterioration of American youth as Olive at Tenth 2 — — — — — — — ————s + Unusually Smart Styles and Splendid Values in Women’s and Misses’ OO eet gael aa agg Ol GIy gag egy gg cg aa Oat Nga 7·ͤ7 ß ee el ⅛ l! ae ae a — — mixtures. . ⁵˙ ; ̃ͤ;; ͤ ͤV6ũ6 x = ee eg . ca IN wag Oe GIy gt — —— —— — Oy, SPRING SUITS 4 837.50 Strictly tailored models of refinement and elegance as well as dressier suits devel- oped along more ornate lines.

In the cities, however, the idea and habit of social service are providing a partial substitute for the re- ligious life of the past. | Among the most hopeful developments of our times are the Boy Scouts, the Junior Police and similar associations which instill the social spirit in chil- dren. Farmers’ Boys Have Changed Since Grant’s Time. „The social ideals of our people have been changing likewise. . In Gen. Grant’s time,“ Dr. Wood added, there was no farm with three or four boys on it that did not hope to give one son to the ministry, to medicine, to the law or to the bench. Today the boy on the farm dreams of getting rich. He has not the mental ambitions of his grand- father.”’ At this point in Dr. Wood's remarks I could not help thinking of an epi- gram uttered at a judicial dinner in New York racently. “In former times we spoke of a struggling lawyer who grew up and became a great Judge, and today we speak of a struggling Judge who grows up and becomes a great lawyer.” If the farmer’s son dreams no longer of winning distinction at the bar it may be because the law has lost its personality, if not its soul, and be- come merely a part of the great me chirery of corporations. “I cannot deny that there has neve a softening of American fiber,” Dr. Wood concluded earnestly. “This is the inevitable result of years of peace, of financial prosperity which has made the individual struggle for existence leas severe. I believe that this softening would disappear in the stress of war, if war must come. Who speaks of the decadence of France today? There is in war a curious education vitalizing, spirit- val significance. A lecturer put my meaning magnificently the other day when he said: “The man who has noth ing to die for is already cut off from the living.” In my opinion wars will not cease in the world until men can get from a peace program the same quickening of the spirit. May that day come soon.” Easy for the Hen to Be Generous OTHER to small son: Bobby, dear, I hoped you would be unselfish enough to give little sister the largest plece of candy. Why, see, even old Biddy gives all the nice big dainties to the little chicks, and only keeps an oc- casional tiny one for herself.” Bobby thoughtfully watched the hen and chickens for a time, and then said: “Well, mamma, I would ‘too, if it was worms.” The Panama Canal has cost each cit- izen in the United States . — ne r 38 2 e E 1 a ne 3 N 1 N 5 ae 5 2 i a <x N .

WASHINGTON, March 22.—‘‘Army of- ficers are agreed that the retreat of the Germans on the western front is a move, pure and simple, said a military expert, discussing the situation for the Post-Dispatch. “This is too apparent to require argument. “Nobody knows just now Von Hinden- Unquestionably he has determined that ultimately Ger- many will be compelled to surrender the territory now occupied in France and Belgium. But this is not the primary reason for the backward movement. The German army could hold its lines indefinitely, compelling the British and French to continue their nibbling pro- cess, if they so desired. This has beer shown conclusively. “The fact that the British and French airmen have not succeeded in finding the ‘Hindenburg line,’ as the line of de- fense is now popularly called, would seem to indicate that the allies tempo- yarily had lost command of the air, This theory is borne out by the fact that re- cent reports have stated that on one day the Germans shot down 24 airplanes and on another day had a toll of % British and French air-craft. The fact that the French air service figured largely in the smashing of Premier Bri- and's Cabinet also indicates that the allies have lost control of the air for the present. “This does not mean that the allied aircraft are not doing magnificent work, but merely that the preponderance of strength and efficiency in the air prob- ably again has passed to the Germans, Where Stand Is Expected. “All indications point to a stand by von Hindenburg on the natural de- fensive line along which are stretched the historic towns of Lille, Cambrai, St. Quentin, Laon and La Fere. This is the probable line on which the Germans will make their stand, but there is noth- ing certain about it. Ther may have dug systems of trenches at this point at several points between this line and their old ‘impregnable’ front miles away, as reported in some press dis- patches. Whether this is the back- bone of their new defense system re- mains to be developed. The German retreat, while it has per- mitted the allies to recover some 1000 square miles of French territory held by the enemy for more than 30 months, has served to disorganize British and French forces to a large extent. This is due to the fact that the heads of their various columns were developed and all lines of support and communieations laid for offensive operations along the old front. “The Germahs have ‘fallen back as Take a glass of Salts if your Back hurts or Bladder troubles you. No man or woman who eats meat uric acid which excites the ki they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma- tism, headaches, liver trouble, nerv- ousness, dizziness and sleeplessness come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act. fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Tithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.

This means that the allies must prepare all over again for a major offensive. While advance columns appear to be follow; ing the Germans, the main body éf French and British troops are far in the rear. The ‘‘erman retreat is being cove large“, by cavalry and most of the Clashes reported are between the uhlans and the mounted French and British troops. All reports agree that Gen. Nivelle, the French commander, is moving his armies forward much more rapidiy than Gen. Haig, the Brit- ish commander Advantage With Germans. “As a. cold-blooded military tion, the retreating Germans have de- cidedly the better of the situation. The reason for this is clear. It is fair to assume from press reports that the morale of the German troops has not been noticeably impaired by their sur- render of French territory. Therefore, whenever they réach the line on which Von Hindenburg and the Imperial Gen- eral Staff have determined to make a stand they will find it completely equip- ped with guns of ali calibers with re- tserves of ammunition and with every- hing else required for modern trench warfare on a §igantic scale. The allies, on the other hand, must bring all their material forward through a country devastated by the retreating enemy. with every possible obstacle placed in the way of their advance. This means that it will be weeks and, perhaps, months before the British and French on the western front will be prepared for a major t- fensive against the new German lines. “There is the best of ground for 16 statement thit wherever the new German line nas been placed it is the strongest vet vevised by the Teutons.

Walter Weir, clerk, office of the ‘President of the Board of Public Service: There should be compulsory training for at least a year, begin- ning when the youth is about 18. Supply Commissioner Thomas: Such training would make a better soldier. than a volunteer Would be, and such A plan will give the country a plenti- ful supply of fit men. Alderman Barney L. Schwartz: 1 think military training of the youth of the country is the first and most important step toward adequate pre- paredness. John Faudl, bookkeeper, Water De- partment: It will give us one kind of preparedness—a supply of men drilled and disciplined. All other countries are taking this precaution against war, and we should follow suit. James G. Laughlin, supply agent, Water Department: We must have dome sort of training for all or a big standing army, one or the Other. Director of Public Safety Swingley: It’s as good for the youth as it is necessary for the country. I certainly favor universal training. Capt. Joseph Boyce, Confederate Veteran: The country must be made ready for emefgencies. Universal training will give us this prepared- ness. It takes a year to make a 801 dier from a raw recruit. Président Kinsey, Board of Public Service: In the first place every man cught to be ready and able to defend his country, but we must have a com- pulsory service. As Gen. W Wood says, We can no more expect the voluntary performance of military duty than We can expect the voluntary payment of taxes. Alderman Renick: It is unques- tlonably a good thing, especially dur- ing school days. City Auditor Sheehan: I think it is ¢bvious that our youth ought to be trained for a year or two. City Register Witter: The Govorn- rent is entitled; to the services of overy citizen, and there should be sys- tematic training to At our youth to fulfill this duty whenever necessary. Alderman Hart: I think universal training would be highly beneficial to the youth of the land and it is 49560 | lutely requisite to the safety of the. country. | Alderman-Haller, mayoralty candi- | Cate: I'm for universal training if it can de made voluntary. Compulsory Ar would destroy our character a diplomatic nation and leave Us voles Germany is—a ruthless military nation. Peyton T.

I am in favor of universal service and the necessary things to make that train- ing Valuable, not only on account ot the military advantage in having trained men, but also for the bénefit one derives through disctpline, obedience. respect for law and authority, sanitary habits and physical bétterment. Fred C. Had, Deputy Proba te Cierx We ought to have some kind of forced’ military training. I prefer the Swiss system rather than that of Germany. Marion C. Early, lawyer—I favor the dent's policy is the safest guarantee of peace, The universal service plan would put the nation in a position to properly defend itself against an enemy ‘by giv- ing us trained soldiers readily available. It would also be a splendid physical training for dur young mien. Samuel A. Mitchell, lawyer—It is the only Way by which this country could develop a foree of soldiers adequate to protect the nation. The President's idea is right. Miss Anna Martin, stenographer—It seems a shame that the civilized nations are turning to thoughts of war, but as long as this 1s 80 there is no reason why our country should not be prepared. Universal service is the best way to be prepared. John G. Zepp; Deputy Court Clerk I am heartily in favor of it, not because I think we will need it, but it would be a great physical training for the} young men. vor military training in the schools and colleges for the young men, but am against the compulsory military service plan.

I have four sons and am Will ing that they shali take military train- ing to be of service ‘to their country in time of need, and I am willing to do the same thing myself. A courthouse janitor—Make it univer- sal peace and I am for it. A cigar maker—I would be for it if the soldiers are not to be used in time of strikes. George Brand, Chief Clerk Probate CourtMilitary training is good for the young man physically and morally as. well as a good thing for the nation. We ought to have universal training. John J. Kelly, shorthand court report- er- Every young man should be com- pelied to undertzo military training for at least two yéars. Circuit Judge Thomas C. Hennings: It's bound to help the young man in ev- ery way, besides being a big protection to our country. I think the trouble with young men is lack of proper disci- pline. They would get it with a mili- tary training. A courthouse reporter: There is no use talking about disarmament and univer- sal peace when civilized nations regard solemn agreements as only “a scrap of paper. You might as well talk abdut not having police and other officials to protect the public against wrongdoers. I am for universal military service. Alderman Weil: Military training is a nne thing gnd just what is needed to give the country a new spirit. Alderman Hall: Military training for our youth is necessary for the country and good for our young men. I expect to send my sons to a military academy when they have gone through the public schools. Alderman Gregory: I think universal training is what caused the war in Eu- rope. I’m not so sure that it wouldn't have the same effect here. Thomas B. Flaherty, civil engineer: Universal training is the country’s most obvious need at this time. Even if we should not have war, the discipline and respect for authority inculeated in our youth would bé a great moral asset. Miss Florance Cafferata, stenographer: Universal training would make some- thing besides. soldiers: it would make good men, I think. If women had votes I'd surely be for it. Miss Nonie Shaughnessy, stenograph- fight for his country. I suppose most American boys are willing, and train- ing ae ror make them able, too. Mayor Kiel: Universal military train- ing has many advantages aside from being a part of the program of pre- paredness. It instills discipline and re- gard for authority, and develops men physically. Such training is especially valuable during a boy’s schoo! years. I am certainly for it. Police Ghief William Young: The ten- dency of military training to promote discipline on the part of the youth is itself a strong recommendation for the bill. I Believe that if the measure be- comes u law we will have less crime, Boys will cultivate, by milftary trajping, | & regard for obedience.

George May, « carperitér, Looal No! 72: I am for military training. It’s the only Way I see to get a decent sited army in this country.

BERLIN, March 20, by wireless to the Associated Press via Sayville, March 22.—German cavalry is now in touch with the French and British mounted troops which have been in ac- tion for several days in the territory evacuated by the Germans, so that for the first time since the fall of 1914, cavalry on both sides is being employed on the western front. This is regarded here as an indication that great events are taking place and that a real battle is in prospect, trench warfare being over for the time on this part of the front.

All who have responsibility’ should share in the work ahead of us. Congress cannot and will not, if it is worthy of its place in the machinery of our Government, mere- ly fulminete and then go home.

Applied at night over the throat and chest, the heat of the body re- leases the ingredients in the form of vapors, and thus the medication is inhaled with each breath through the air passages to the lungs.

FTER two weéks of close obser- A vation at che samp of the Cin- einnati Reds, the general con- ditions of that club can be summed up as follows: The team is vastly improved in makeup. and allround quality over its composition during any time last season. Its players are far better pleased with their manager, his methods, and his good fellowship than has been the case in several years. The new players added to the ros- ter seem to be of exceptionally high grade, much better than those taken South in 1916. eems to en- Po the —.— 5 94 in the coming schedule: too much politeness and genteel behavior, and not enough of the aggressive, fighting spirit. Christy Mathewson, who laid low., KOPF ONLY NEWCOMER IN THE REDS’ LINEUP ROM present indications only one rookie will be able to break into the Reds’ lineup as a regular, at least at the start of the season. He is Bill Kopf, the shortstop, who was with Connie Mack last spring, but turned over to the International League. All the others are holdovers from last season. The probable lineup open- ing day is as follows: ush, center field. left field. C „ first base. Griffith, right fleld. Kopf, shortstop. McKechnie, third base. RED’S ROSTER. Pitchers—Toney, Knetzer, Mitch- ell and Schneider, holdovers; San- ders, Regan, Gerner, Ring and Eller, newcomers. Either of the latter two will be released.

Graw's ideas, which it was generally supposed he would copy. His men, find- ing him a splendid fellow and a kindly master, have rallied wonderfully around him, and have given him their very best during all the time at the Shreveport camp. Men Are Working for Matty. The pitching staff, which was shaky and uncertain last year, seems to have been materially improved. Sanders and Regan, two Kansas City pitchers, ap- pear to know their business, and should make valuable additions. The four vet- erans of the staff, Toney, Knetzer Mitchell and Schneider, all claim that they can do far better work for Mathew- they say, in- | son than for Herzog, who, terfered with their natural pitching styles and had them up in the air con- tinually. The same three catchers—Clarke, Win- go and Huhn—hold over from last see- gon, and compose about as effective a — department as anyone could de- sire. The club is actually overstocked with ood inflelders and can put up a power- ul front even if two or three en should be disabled.

As he sat in the kitchen that night he saw a aQwarf creeping in as if afraid. “Prince Ivan, exclaimed the little man, “I am your friend. Do you re- member that you refused to let work- men tear down the rocky cavern just back of the palace because you said it might be the home of the dwarf? It was. There I have lived for 600 years. You saved my ancient cave, and now I will reward you. By morning I and my dwarfs from all over the land will have the stable as clean as a new pin.” With these words he vanished and Ivan heard in the stable yards the sounds of shovels and brooms, and the grating of tiny wheelbarrows on the ground, so he knew the work would be done, Sure enough at dawn the giant found his stables as clean as a parior “That ie all very well so far,” Krunted the giant. “But you have not finished yet. That well must be dug by tomorrow morning.” That night as Ivan sat on his bed of a shavings he saw a little mole creeping over the floor. “Prince,” said the mole, “I will help you out of your trouble. One day when you were out walking your dog tried «4 dig up my nest and would have eaten my children had you ‘not prevented. I will call all the moles in the country and by dawn the well will be finished.” After breakfast the giant went out to look, and here was a big hole in the ground. As he stooped to peep down to see how deep it was, a mole bit him on his heel and he tumbled down into the well. He was hurt but not killed and Ruby heard his shouts. “I am sorry you are in pain, father,” said Ruby to the giant, “but you have been so cruel that this may teach you a lesson. Now, if you will let me marry Ivan, and if you will give him back all the gold, gems, money and the crown you took away from his father, we will get you up.“ The giant promised, and Ruby ran to release Ivan.
