SAYS Spurned Wife’s Pleas, Went Out When Company Came, Sister-in-Law Testifies. WEEPS WHEN ON STAND; Mrs. Fynn Says Nolker Asserted He ‘‘Wanted to Live and Let Live.’’ Mrs. Maybelle H. Fynn of 4933 West Pine boulevard, wife of Valere A. Fynn, consulting engineer for the Wagner Electric Co., was the principal witness this morning for her sister, Mrs. Pearl Elizabeth Hyman Nolker, in the divorce suit of Robert E. Nolker. She wept as she told of her sister’s troubles with Nolker, and she apologized to Judge Cave for being ‘“‘so weak and sensitive.’’ Because of an expectation that Mrs. Nolker would testify in her own defense. a larger crowd than before was at the courthouse. Scores were turned away, under the rule that no one, other than those who had business in the court, should be admitted after the seats were filled. It was said that Mrs. Nolker’s testi- rmony would be reserved until the close of the defense’s case. Mrs. Fynn, who was married to her present husband last June, was Mrs. Teasdale at the time of the occurrences of which she testified. She told of go- ing to Europe, at her father’s expense, after the marriage of the Nolkers, end meeting them in London. Nolker treat- ed her most cordially, and she went ts Paris with the bridal pair. At tkat time, she testified, their attitude toward each other was all that the attitude of husband and wife should be. Used Her Furniture. After their return to St. Louis, she said, the Nolkers lived in the Nolker home for a time, but by arrangement with Nolker, she placed some of her furniture in the St. Regis Apartments, where the Nolkers later went to live. She said she did not make tl.is arrange- rent without proper invitation. Before Nolker’s marriage to her sister, and while she, Mrs. Teasdale, was having trouble with her husband, she said that Nolker told her she would be welcome in his home after his marriage. This part of her testimony was interrupted by weeping. She described Nolker’s home con- duct, early in his married life as be- ing very changeable, affectionate at times and very disagreeable at other times. At the end of each week, and sometimes as early as Friday, she said, he would go to Mrs. Carr’s, in St. Louis County. Most nights he would go to clubs or elsewhere, [re- quently leaving company at his home. Sometimes he would telephone to his wife that he would not come home to dinner, but that he was going to a club. Frequently, she continued, he would be out till 1 a. m, sometimes until 5 a. m. “He might stay at home one nign*t a week,” she ventured, but she added that even when he seemed settied at home for the evening, he would some- times go out suddenly. She said a clock in her room, which she could see withnot leaving her bed, would show her the time of Nolker’s return. She could sometimes tell by the reflection of the light, she said, that he was sitting in the living room, and she told of finding his asleep in a chair, fully dressed an dwith a cigar drooping between his lips. Rejected Wife’s Appeal. She said Mrs. Nolker would say’ to him, “Please, Bob, stay home with me once in awhile. Don’t go out and run from one saloon and roadhouse to an- other. You have a lovely library. Wh’ don’t yoy read some of these books?’ His reply to one such appeal, she said, was “Oh, live and let live. I'm going out. Crack your whip if you want to. See my lawyer, Mr. Fordyce, about a divorce. You can get it.” She said she did not know that Nolker made any objection to his wife's going abroad to study music. In Paris, she said, before Nolker’s visit, she and her sister went to only one cafe, the Abbey, and they went there with a party of five or six, as guests of a Mr. Burris. She said this place was ‘‘about like the Jefferson Hotel on Monday night.” Walter C. Taylor, who said he was connected with the Mellier Drug Co., was called as a witness for Mrs. Nol- ker, and testified that Nolker, in talking with him, had shown pride tn his wife's singing, and had seemed willing that she should go abroad to study, though he, Taylor, advised him to keep his wife at home. He also said Nolker said to him that his wife was right in the Baby Marlowe case and that he had sent her $300. He said he went to the Fauna Flora resort, in St. Louis Coun- ty, with Nolker while Mrs. Nolker was away. When asked about Nolker’s con- duct there, he said “I refuse to an- swer.”’ Defendant “Perfect Lady.” Mrs. Eliza Taylor, a widow, who lived in the St. Regis Apartments, ten- tified that she and her three daughters frequently visited Mrs. Nolker after the separation. She described Mrs. Nolker as a “perfect lady’ and said she had never seen her show evidence of drink - ing or heard her use bad She never saw intoxicants in Mrs. Nolker’s apartments. Edward il.

RESISTANCE _ INCREASES Heavy Artillery Fighting Now in Progress Between the Somme and Oise. PARIS, March 23.—A violent attack was made by the Germans last night north of St. Simon in the region of Ham. Today’s War Office announce- ment says the Germans gained some ground, but were counter attacked im- mediately and driven back as far as Seraucourt-Le-Grande, three miles north- east of St. Simon. The statement follows: “North of St. Simon the enemy made a violent attack las® night on our positions near Artemps. Our troops were thrown back slightly at first, but immediately counter attacked with vigor and succeeded in driving the enemy as far as Seraucourt-le- Grand. “There was heavy artillery fight- ing betwen the Somme and the Oise. South of the Oise further detach- ments crosed the Aillette. There was intermittent cannonading in the hill region. Chasseurs Cut Way Out. “North of Soissons we made new progress. It is now learned that the attack made by the enemy against the Vregny-Chivres front was extremely violent. The Germans hurled an entire regiment at a single point. Two of our companies of chasseurs, momentarily isolated, succeeded, after violent fight- ing, in disengaging themselves and re- turning’ with prisoners. The losses in- flicted on the enemy on these fruitless attacks were very heavy. “Severe surprise attacks of tha ene- my northwest of Rheims, near Maisons- { de-Champagne, in Avocourt Wood and. near St. Mihiel. were repulsed by our, fire.”’ The Official night said: ‘In the region of St. Quentin = skir- mishes between patrols have occurred north of Dallon. Between the Somme and the Oise the enemy during the day made violent attempts to drive us back from the east bank of the canal of St. Quentin, which we occupied in front of Clastres and Montescourt. Suc- cessive attacks by the enemy were broken down by our machine gun fire. “Spirited engagements to the west of La Were likewise ended in a complete check for the enemy. ‘South of the Oise our detachments crossed the Ailette River at several points. Arrested by Barrage Fire. “North of the Aisne the Germans re- newed their attacks between the Laon road and the river. Three attacks against the Vregny-Chiveres lire were arrested by our barrage fire. South of the Aisne, enfilading the enemy’s troops, our artillery inflicted upon them very heavy losses. “All reports that have reached us confirm that the enemy has systemati- cally pillaged and ravaged the evacu- ated zone without, in a majority of cases, military reasons. For instance, Gen. von Fleck, on quitting Ham, car- ried away the furnishings of the house that he had occupied there.’ Resistance Increasing. “The enemy's resistance is increasing along our whole front from west of St. Quentin to south of Arras,” says the of- ficial report from British headquarters last night. “Heavy snowstorms during the day added to the difficulties of our advance. “We carried out a successful raid yes- terday afternoon northeast of Arras and took a few prisoners. The enemy e: Geavored to counter-attack across an open and suffered severe casualties. ‘“” small hostile party entered our trenches early this morning north of Ypres. They were driven off after sharp fighting. Another hostile raiding party was dispersed by our machine cun fire southwest of Lena. “Our airplanes were active again yes- terday in the area of the enemy's with- drawal. Much valuable reconnaissance work was carried out. One German machine was brought down behind our lines."’ statement issued Yast —_ Bertin Tella of Heavy French Lostes Near St. Simon.

Was His Imperial Res- TSARSKOE-SELO, Russia, Thursday, March 22, via London, March 2.—On his arrival here today in the custody or four members of the Duma, Nicholas Romanoff, the deposed Emperor, was turned over immediately to the Tsar- skoe-Selo commander and taken to the Alexandrovsky Palace, where the for- mer Empress Alexandra already was interned. The special train carrying the former ruler arrived at 1:30 o’clock on the branch line outside Alexandrovsky Park. On leaving the train Nicholas entered an automobile, accompanied by his. Adjutant, Prince Dolgoroukoff, the only courtier of the first rank who ac- companied him, and by the four Duma commissioners. They were driven to the palace. Bears Himaecilf Erectly. Nicholas was met at the door in the left wing of the palace by Count Benck- endorff, who was his marshal of the court and is now under arrest. The former ruler held himself erect, look- ing calm and indifferent, although he stepped from the automobile with nerv- ous haste. A battalion of the First Rifle Guard Regiment was at the rail- road depot. The commander at Tsarskoe-Gelo is Col. Kobuilinsky, formerly commahder of the Petrogradsky Regiment, stationed in peace times at Warsaw. To him the Duma commissioners announced: “Our mission of handing over the En- peror is finished. We now go to Petrce- grad to announce this fact to the Duma.” The correspondent drove to the old Tsarskoe-Selo Palace, which is entirely deserted ane without guards, and then to the new palace, where the former im- perial family is interned. The pajace lies in a large park which is surround- ed by a plain, spiked fence, five feet high, coated with silver paint. It is not far from the old palace. Within the park over the broad ex- panse of snow, not a person was visibie. Apparently there were no guards with- in the park, but outside the fence, every 5 yards along the roadway, were dou- ble sentries from the Petrograd State ; Tif Yong blue coats, with fixed bayonets, An astounding circumstance, in view of the attitude of Nicholas toward the population of Tsarskoe-Selo, which lived entirely upon imperial favor, was the lack of public interest. / During a drive of three miles along the palace fence the correspondent saw no civilians, and with the exception of the guards, none but two of the gigantic black-bearded Cau- casians of the famous “Convoy of His Majesty,’’ who, though now fallen from favor and destined to be sent as sol- diers to the front, were allowed to peer through the fence. ° Near the east wing of the palace is a detached building which formerly served as a kitchen. It is now occu- pied by the staff oficer in command of the troops guarding Nicholas. Palace Two Stories High. The chief part of the palace is al Outside of Putiatin’s room three stheial long two-story building of pale yel- low stucco with white Corinthian columns reaching to the roof, and two vast projecting side wings. In the center of the building are two high arched porticos. Through the small upper square windows, which had no curtaining. there-could not be observ- ed nay sign of life within. The palace, seen through a snow storm, looked desolate and unattractive. On attempting to enter the park through the kitchen building the cor- respondent was told ty the oficer in charge that no one was permitted near, and that after 6 o'clock all roads approaching the south and east sides of the palace were closed. In regard to conditions under which Nicholas was being held in the palace officers deciared they knew nothing. Concerning Alexandra and other mem- bérs of the family the following Infor- mation was given: All the five children are in bed with the measles, for which reason Alexandra has not been outside the palace walls for two days. So far as is known no order has been issued preventing her from walking about the grounds. She has been forbidden to use the telephone and telegraph, or have any ¢cO™munica- tion with the outside world. This morn- ing she requested permission to tele- phone to Princess Baratoff, a friend, asking as to her health. The request was refused. Twice yesterday permis- sion to use the telephone was denied her. So far as is known no attempt has been made by any adherents of the old regime to communicate with her. Prince Putiatin Under Arrest. Two hundred adherents and cour- tiers. of the former Emperor are under arrest here. A correspondent of the Associated Press discovered them in the Nicholas gymnasium, a big build- ing next to the city hall, where the commission of officers and soldiers who are now administering Tsarskoe-Felo in recent years director of the palace. Putiatin is famous for his presence during the interview in 196 between re- form members of the Zemstvos and the Emperor. The Zemstvos delegation warned the monarch that a revolution was impending. and before rejecting their advice Nicholas Nsetened to the Council, subsequently reported that the Emperor was u: der the control of the Prince. members of the civil militia armed with bayonets are on guard. The prisoners are well treated and the corridors are crowded with children waiting to see their parents. MISSOURI GUARD IS AT ONLY HALF STRENGTH About 4500. Men Enlisted and 9000 Would Be Required for Active Service. R Staff Correspondent of the Post- oe: Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, March 2%3.—Rec- ords in the Adjutant-General’s office here show that the Missour! National Guard has less than half enough men to mobilize for active service. The chief problem presented by the expected or- der to mobilise will be the recruiting of the various unite to war strength. There are now enlisted in the Mis- sourt Guard less than #400 men. Under the ruling of the War .epartment re- quiring the units to be brought to’ war atrength, more than 900 men will be required in all, The four regiments of infantry, which now average less than 7% men for each company, will be increased to 180 in each company. Each of the three bet- teries of field artillery will be required to have 199 men and cavalry troops of St. Louis recruited up to 6 men.

Are Familiar to Post-D NLESS ali signs fail, the Ger- mans have reached their new line of defenses between Cam- brai and Laon. As early as Tuesday the French had arrived within three miles of La Fere and four of St. Quen- tin. Bince then they have made no G@p- preciable progress, save ih straightening South of the Oise they have pushed forward slowly toward Laon, but are not yet quite up to what must be’ their selected position on this end of the line. North of St. Quentin the British have advanced until their front now prolongs the French to a point of intersection with the old posi- tions before Arras. Substantially the whole front is now a straight line run- ning from Arras to the Aisne east of Soissons. Halt New ls Legical. Following regular military procedure the Germans would naturally draw back first on one flank and then on the other. They have now completed the withdrawal on the left, or southern flank from Cambrai to. Laon. In the natural order of things, they would halt now, and even counter-attack on this flank, while drawing back on the right, or northern flank. All indica- tions point to such an operation now, and counter-attacks are suggested by the latest French official report, which speaks of “a number of attempts to draw out the French from the east bank of the St. Quentin canal."’ A withdrawal on this northern flank would give the French the coal mines of Lens, the most important in France, but doubtless these have been wrecked. It would surrender perhaps 700 square miles more of French territory, but it would not give up territory of great military value and it would permit the by Fidei ih rations of the War Whose Articles Readers. and Who Recently Returned From my nate Weeks at the Western Fighting Front. shortening and straightening of the Gernmian line.. It seems the thing to ¢x- pect. As to a further retreat, a retreat from the whole of the Lille-8t. Quentin-Laon 1iné to some line nearer the frontier, or /perhaps along the frontier; this may re- main a riddle for some days. No one knows exactly that the Lille-St. Quen- tin-Laon line ise the true Hindenburg line, although it has been described ae such. But.all military observers know that the Germans had a second line at these points, and this second line would give them temporary protection and a halting place, even if they had deter- mined to go back to the frontier. Hardest Part of Task Completed. In any event the Germans have now the first phase of their scheme. They have escaped from the Bapaume and Noyon salients, they have shortened and straightened their line from the Aisne to the Lys. The retirement on the northern flank should be a minor affair by comparison. What the German semi-official state- ments say about the strategy in falling back and avoiding the biow which the allies had prepared during the winter months is exactly true. Even if the German stand on their present line it will take several months for the Rrit- ish and the French to get their com- munications and their transports in the shape they were in when the allies be- gan the battle of the Sotmmme. Thus the Germans have postponed ih: shock for at least two months.. They made a wonderful retreat, com- pletely successful so far as we can judge; they have paralyzed for the time being the great allied offensive, and they have not sacrificed any terr:- vantage. b- =4 —— of seven.

LONDON, March 23.—Germany . in her work of devastation which is turning the abandoned territory in Northern France into a desert may have a political motive in the direc- tion of a threat thus to treat all occu- pied territory unless France enters into peace negotiations, was the theory advocated by Major-Geenral F. B. Maurice, chief director of mili- tary operations at the War Ofifce, in his weekly talk to the Associated Press yesterday. “The extent of the German retire- ment was no surprise to us,” he said, “and you may feel that I prepared tory which is of material military ad. will be formed you for it. Just where the new line it is impossible to say. It is by no means certain that the Germans will again offer battle on the Cambrai-Laon line. “Theories as to an ultimate with- dtawal are purely speculative as, for instance, pivoting on Lille the Ger- mans may extend their defense from Cambrai. On the other hand, while using the same pivot, they may form a line along the lower slopes of the Ardennes.” Gen. Maurice then showed a num- ter of photographs of ruined and burning villages taken before they were actually abandoned by the Ger- mans showing an almost total de- struction. With references to these villages, he said: “Some were never under our artil- lery fire. Of course, destruction dic- tated by military necessity is per- missible, but the Germans have turned the abandoned country into a desert. Every cross-road is marked by a brown mine crater. Other meas- ures of this sort were adopted as a military necessity to retard our ad- vance, But the wanton destruction of buildings, homes and splendid cha- teaus oannot be defended on this ground. “When a military motive is lacking we must look for a political, unless the Germans are animated by a pure love of savagery. This political motive may be a threat to France that unless peace negotiations are entered into the re- mainder of the eccupied territery will be turned into the same sort of a desert now marking the German retreat, Of course, the primary object of the de-. struction.is a desire to avoid battle at any cost until the enemy is securely fixed in another line where he can re- sume the initiative after compelling us to make new preparations in the de- vastated terrain. “Unofficial reporta of fires and ex- preliminaries of the present rétreat. “Stronger resistance by the enemy on both flanks of the German withdraw- als Is quite natural, : FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 23, 17. Limitation of Their Rights Re- moved in Schools of All: Grades, OTHER CHANGES FORECAST Removal of Passport Restric- tions Expected,- Permitting @. S. to Renew Treaty. WASHINGTON, March 23.—First steps by the new Russian Government toward the emancipation of Jews in Russia were reported today by Ambassador Francis, who said all educational re- strictions as to both colleges and lower schools had been removed. A bulletin given out by the State Department fol- lows: “The American embassy at Petrograd reports that all restrictions limiting the rights of Jews to all universities and schools in Russia have already been re- moved and that they are now permit- ted to enter any school or university in the empire.’’ Officials here look on this step as a forecast of freedom for the Jews in Rus- sia, which will remove one of the grav- est charges against the old Russian re- gime. Incidentally, also, it forecasts re- moval of passport restrictions, because of which the United States abrogated the commercial treaty with Russia, and lends confidence to statements from officials in Petrograd ,thet the treaty soon may be renewed. Combined with steps toward home rule in Finland and promises of autonomy for Poland, it convinces officials that the new Government is losing no time in carrying out the liberal program on which it has embarked. The new lead- ers apparently intend to carry out their program at once, as establishing a firm- er foundatidn on which the war can be prosecuted more successfully. The State Department already has re- -| ceived a great number of applications from American Jews who wish to go to Russia now that the old regime which barred thetn has passed away.

CHILDREN |” IN NORTH FRA ‘Praise God,- There Is: Butter, “4 Exclaim Mothers When Children Get Sandwiches. Relief Commission Credited With Averting Starvation When Germans Seized Produce. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, THURSDAY, March 22.—The real human interest in the retreat of the Germans lies in the half-ruined villages formerly occupied by them. The joy of the people over what they proclaim to be their liberation is wonderful. A pack- age of well-buttered ham sandwiches distributed among the children of one village caused greater excitement than the evacuation of the Germans. “It is butter,”’ cried several little voicés at once as the recipients scam- pered away to their houses to show their mothers. Through the open doors cculd be heard such expressions as: “Praise God, there is butter again in France.”’ The American Relief Commission has been able to distribute flour, coffee, Sugar, lard, limited quantities of rice, some cereals, soap, salt and vinegar, but no butter. Saved by America. The Associated Press correspondent today had a cup of American coffee, sweetened with American sugar, with a peasant family living next door to the charred ruins of German dugouts near the bank of the Somme. There was a loaf of brown bread on the table. “That also .is from the Americans,”’ said the peasant mother, who was hold- “We shall never forget the assistance given us by Amer- ica, It saved us. We have had nothing else since soon after the beginning of the German occupation. When the Ger- mans first began taking our goods, our horses, our cattle, our sheep, our vege- tables and everything else we raised, they gave us bits of paper officially Stamped by regimental commanders which they said were bonds, telling us we should present them to President Poincare for payment.” “But in the last year or so all we have been able to raise has been taken with- out even these bonds,”’ she continued. “We have been encouraged to cultivate our farms, then everything was taken and we were compelled to live on Amer- ican relief. We have had no milk for more than a year, all the cows having been taken away by the Germans. We have had no fresh meat for nine months.’’ Glad When Hens Were Taken. For a time, the peasants Say, they were allowed to keep hens on the con- dition that they produce five eggs for each hen weekly for the German au- thorities. If the hens did not lay five eggs the peasants had to borrow then from their neighbors, and they were delighted when the hens at last were confiscated.” There is an undeniable thrill attached to motoring over the old front line po- sitions. Within a week roads have pen- etrated almost countless trench posi- tions and extended ‘themselves ove- what once was No Man’s Land. Run- ning along these roads in broad day- light, it is hard to realize that six days ago one dared not lift an eye above the parapet of the front fire trenches. In penetrating the former German po- sitions a lasting Memory always is one of endless chains of rusted barbed wire. This has been a most valuable means of defense for the Germans, and from the amount which may be seen stretch- ing away in every direction as far as the eye reaches it would seem that all the German industrial plants had been turned to wire making. It is not the ordinary barbed wire known in Amer- ica, but the barbs, long and stout, are ettached to the wire at intervals of half an inch. Barbed Wire Prolonged War. “Tf it had not been for the barbed wire this war would have been over long ago,”’ a British officer declared. In leaving the territory retently evac- uated the Germans have taken away, in addition to all strong men and boys above 16, all women and girls from 15 years upwards who are able to work. A French official communication recent- ly mentioned the taking of 3} women and girls from Noyon. Feb. 17 last the Germans removed 423 from Nesie. It is said that all women capable of working in German factories or on German farms, who have no children dependent on them, must go. In taking away the &t population the Germans are replacing these persons by sending back hundreds of aged or in- firm men and women from St. Quentin and other places behind the new lines, saying frankly that the burden of sup- ae > pam % : “ eh oar 3s ee » af ee ; v pe ey ? > oh > ee ALL FOOD FROM AMERICA] ’ ' Julius Gees oaatiiee.

NEW YORK, March 2é.—Detective Henry Barth, who says he worked his way into the inner circles of the Ger- man spy system in New York, con- tinued his testimony today at the trial of the six men charged with conspir- acy to destroy with fire bombs mer. chant ships leaving American ports. Barth says he gained the confidence of Capt. Charles von Kleist, a chemist and one of the defendants, by repre- senting himself as an agent of Wolf von Igel, the alleged head of the Ger- man spy system in this country. The detective declared Von Kleist told him that he and Dr. Walter T. Scheele, also a chemist, were partners in the manufacture of fire bombs and that Scheele had received $10,000 from Capt. von Papen of the German em- bassy to finance the bomb-making. Scheele, who was said to be the head of the alleged plotters responsible for bomb explosions in 1915 that destroyed vessels and cargoes worth upwards of $4,000,000, escaped to Mexico. Von Kleist is represented as saying in a statement he is alleged to have signed and which was placed in evidence that Scheele told him all bille would be paid by Capt. von Papen, Capt. Boy-Ed and Capt. Franz von Rintelen. |$6--TOLEDO or DETROIT--$6 And return, March 3% and &, via Clover Leaf Route. Good in sleeping cars. 415 Olive street and Union Station. TAFT WANTS U. S.

SUNDAY EVENING SERMONS PREACHED IN POOL HALLS ree eee Omeha Pastor Tries an Experiment and Is Invited te Appear in Another Place. OMAHA, Neb., March ?'.—The Rev. Charlies W. Savidge, whose specialty of late appears to be stirring things, is to speak in a pool hall with a billiard table as a rostrum, tomorrow evening. This is upon invitation of the proprietor, who may have had in mind the. busi- ness desirability of offsetting that preacher's appearance last Sunday even- ing in the hall of a rival. In the midst of his discourse last Sun- day evening the Rev. Savidge digressed to remark: “I never’ chew gum. It makes a person look like a cow chew- ing hay.’ Thereupon one of the six choir girls who accompanied the preach - er to the pool hall blushed, took a wad of gum from her mouth and stuck it on the under side of @ pool table. The proprietor stopped the playing of ‘all pool while the Rev. Sabidge preached and acted as his valet when the minister got so hot in his sermon that hie coat came off, which it did at the end of six minutes from the start. It was at the close of the sermon that a keeper of another pool hall asked the Rev. Mr. Savidge to speak fram = EDUCATORS COMING IN TRAINING CAMP CAUSE Will Address Conferences at M..A. A.

PREPARATIONS MADE Plans Are Made to Settle Men on Farms and Provide Them With Funds: Correspondence of the Associate ’ ress. LONDON, Feb. 10.—Australia will be the great mecca for the British soldier after the war, in the opinion of Andrew } Fisher, High Commissioner for Australia in London. “Australia today offers the greatest return for energy of any coun- try in the world,”’ he declared today. “A great deal has been made in England of our plans for settling soldiers on the’ land, and this publicity in itself ie going to result in an unprecedented rush for the island continent as soon as peace comes. “The only question in the minds of Australian statesmen is whether we shall be able to cope with the rush. There is no question that we need the men, and we are making every prepara- tion to be ready for them. Australia is an exporter of food and an importer of men. has been an importer of food and an ex- porter of the more adventurous of her sons. Australia wants population, but she wants an independent population, and she wants it upon the soil. So she 4 will have to provide organized means for settling the immigrants where they will do the most good."’ { Land Sowenpomeente, Under the present Constitution of the Australian commonwealth, the land of the continent is solely the property of the various states. In any scheme of land settlement it was therefore neces- sary to consult the governments of the states. A series of conferences to this end are now in progress, explained Mr. Fisher. “The keynote of the scheme which we have adopted is that the British soldier and Australian soldier shall share and share alike. They have shared the toil of the war together. In the trenches they have made a friendship that will last beyond thé seas, when it will merge into a mutual citizenship in the new Tland of the South. “The money needed by the settler will be advanced through existing state agencies at moderate interest rates. The land itself will be provided practically free of charge. In Queensland, for ex- ample, the land will be leased under a perpetual lease. There will be no ini- tial payment for this lease, and there will be no rent to be paid during the first three years. In Western Austra- lia, each settler will be given, without charge, 160 acres. The Government will clear some of the land for him and pro- vide the necessary financial assistance through the Agricultural Bank, “In the old days, starting on the land was difficult, slow and expensive. Now the small man can start with a good prospect of being comfortably settled after a few years’ work. Large pas- toral holdings are to be converted into agricultural areas wilere wheat is grown. Other land will be: used for mixed farming or dairying.’ Railway Building. The development of Australia from now on, continued Mr. Fisher, will be greatly accelerated by railway build- ing. Atout 21,000 miles are now open for traffic, practically all State- owned, Much bigger things in rail- way building, however, are being planned for the next few years. “The Commonwealth Parliament,” said Mr. Fisher, “is providing for the construction of great trunk railways, spanning the continent from east to west, and from north to south. The Transcontinental from east to west is now on the point of completion. It runs from Port Atgusta in South Australia to Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. It has been a monumental under- taking. It is a first-class line of 4 feet 8%-inch gauge, capable of lux- urious traveling at high speed. It has been built entirely by the Com- monwealth Government by day labor, without the aid of contractors. Aus- tralian engineers made the plans, and Australian steel works supplied most of the rails. To build the line was alone a great undertaking, for in all ite 1000 miles of length there was practically ro civilisation. It was built In two sections—simultaneously from either end, and today the con- étruction camps are getting hourly into touch. It will be a dramatic meeting there In the sflent heart of the continent, “That meeting will bring Western Australia within 48 hours of the Eastern states. It will open up thou- sands ef miles of new country, which will suppert a large population.” Lineoin Statue fer Russia. NEW YORK, March 23.—George Gray Barnard, the sculptor, announces that freedom he will present his statue of | Abraham Lincoln to the Russian people through the Friends of Russian Free- dom at a mass meeting here tonight in | celebration. of the birth of the new re- } public.

KEL AND CONNETT TALK. MUNIGPAL SSUES TO VOTERS Latter Compares Building De- partment Records Under Wells and Present Mayor. FOR BUSINESS) METHODS Kiel Defends Americanism; Con- roy Demanded Lionberger Be ‘“‘Muzzled.”’ Mayor Kiel and William C. Connett, Democratic nominee for Mayor, talked municipal issues in their speeches last night. The Mayor, in a meeting at 5018 Florissant avenue, repeated in part his speech of the night befcre, defending his own Americanism, citing his father e record as a soldier in the Civil War, and declaring that he and his sons are ready to fight for the United States. The principal-reference to the Amer- icanism issue, in the Democratic meet- ings, was made by James B. Conroy, candidate for alderman from the Nine- teenth Ward. Speaking in a hall at Sii- ney street and Iowa avenue, Conroy tcld of his own remarks to Isaac H. Lion- berger in the Twenty-eightn War‘ meeting at the Hamilton Hotel Tuesday night. At that time Lionberger cited ihe German names connected with the Kiel administration, and said it would appear “that the German-Americane have parted our goods among them.’ and that “we have fallen among the Philistines."’ “Muzzle Lionberger.” Conroy said he was the one man pres- ent at the Hamilton Hotel meeting who had the nerve to repudiate Lionberger’s remarks. ‘I took issue with him as an American citizen,’’ Conroy said. He added that he went to Democratic head- quarters on the following day and told those in charge that they must ‘“‘muz- zle Lionberger.’’ He said the commit- teemen and Judge Glendy B. Arnold, Connett’s campaign manager, promised that this would be done. Arnold said, in a-statement printed in the Post-Dispatch yesterday, that Lion- berger would not be asked to speak for Connett in the campaign. When he was asked the reason for this decision, he said it was not because of what Lion- berger had said, but because he is a corporation attorney, counsel for the La- clede Gas Light Co. Records Are Compared. Connett, speaking at the Sidney street meeting, city building department under the Kiel adrrinistration with that of the same de- partment under Mayor Wells, whom Connett served as private secretary. He said that in Wells’ eight years in office, when 53,761 building permits were issued, the total of salaries and ex- penses in the building department was $271,587.43. Under Kiel for four years, he said, 31,961 permits had been issued, but the salaries and expenses had been greater than in Wells’ eight years, the total in Kiel’s four years being $329,- 490.60. “In other words,”’ he said, $57,903.17 less to run the department eight years, under Wells, than it has cost the present administration to run it four years, though in Wells’ time there were 21,961 more permits issued, and $103,764,146 worth more buildings con- structed.”"” He said a reorganization of this and other departments on business lines would mean a big saving to the taxpayers. Kiel, in his Florissant avenue speech and in one at King’s highway and Manchester avenue, went over hig 18 pledges of the 1913 campaign, 17 of which, he said, had been fulfilled. He said he did not wish to take sole credit for the completion of the free bridge, but that the city officials, himself among them, deserve the credit. He talked of the standardiz- ing of city employes’ wages, which he said was being carried out as rap- idly as possible. In the Florissant avenue meeting he talked of public improvements through bond issues, and made remerks favorable to mu- nicipal ownership of street car lines. POOLROOM IN THE COUNTY IS HELD UP BY SIX MEN Robbers Driven to Se.ne by City Em- ploye in Service Car; Refused to Take Them Away Afterward. Six armed men last night held up the poolroom of Jerry McDonald, 6145 Bart- mer avenue, St. Louis County, taking $50 from the cash register and a diamond pin from Eugene Marks, a player. As the robbers left the place they fired several shots in the air, attracting the attention of the police. When police- men arrived at the poolroom they found an automobile driven by Albert Mueller of 2427 Menard street, a city street in- spector, standing before the place. Mueller said he had driven the men in his machine, which he operates at night as a service car, from his stand at Sixth and Market streets, but had re- fused to take them away from the scene when he learned what they had done. The men ran from the scene. Mueller was arrested and will be turned over to the county authorities. SIX MISSOURI ROAD DISTRICTS Leouls Ie tn No. 6 Which Includes Southeast Part of State. JEFFERSON CITY, March 23.—Mis- souri was divided into six general road districts by the State Highway Commis- sion yesterday and a supervisor later will be appointed over each district, it was announced. The supervisor will see after the expenditure of money un- der the road drag system and the estab- lishment of state highways. The districts comprise from 16 to 2 counties each and are named as fol- lows: No. 1 St. Joseph District; No. 2, Hannibal District; No. 3, Kansas City- Joplin District; No. 4° Jefferson City istrict; No. 6, Springfield-Ozark Dis- trict; No. 6 St. Louls-Southeast Mis- sourt District, ‘it cost St compared the record of the, TLUGUBRIOUS RUSSIAN PLAY IS PRODUCED IN NEW YORK “Nju” a Combination of Gush and Rubbish, Repugnant to ~ ormal ont ray NEW YORK, March 23.—I¢t “Nju” is, as the program ut the Bandbox Theater stated last night, a play of everyday Ru life, one is curious to know wh ebicht happen in Russia on special occasion. In the strictly Slavic view this play by Ossip Dymow, which is said to be vastly popular tn Russia, may be a work of profound meaning} which points 4 mora! as well as adurns a tale. But theatergoers hefe aré likely to find in it no such nuggets of interest. Apportioning the impression it gave, one-third of it is erratic rubbish, an- other third iugubrious nonsense and the remainder sentimental gush. It be- gins with the marriage of its heroine to a sensual dreamer, proceeds with her liaison with a mooning literary genius, and ends with her funeral as the two rivals for her affection stand beside her bier. Through all the epi- sodes, as they travel round and round the familiar triangle, the husband re- mains complacent. Perhaps thera has been no play in a year so completely at variance with our point of view of life or’ so repugnant to our normal sense. If it be a play of everyday Russian life, then it is wholly for the Ruegsians. FOUR ELECTION OFFICIALS IN TWENTY-SIXTH WARD REMOVED Were Charged With Misconduct in Count of Ballots in, Primary on March 90. Two Democratic and two Republican election officials who served in the Thir- teenth Precinct of the Twenty-sixth Ward at the primary elections, March 9, were removed by the Election Com- missioners, following a hearing of charges of misconduct. The officials were Daniel J. O’Keefe, 1352 Aubert ave- nue, Democratic judge; Harry J. Heck- ert, 1332 Aubert avenue, Democratic clerk; Harry O. Ramlose, 1416 Aubert avenue, Republican judge, and J. E. Koons, 4824A Easton avenue, Republican judge. The charges resulted from the refusal of Anton Hartman. of 1400 North Euclid avenue, to sign the poll books certifying to the count of the ballots. The original count had credited Dr. John H. Simon with 68 votes for the Democratic nomination and W. C, Con- nett with 15. Comptroller Player, can- didate for renomination, was credited with 33, and Charles Reilly, his opponent, with 47. The second count, in the pres- ence of the Election Commissioners, gave Simon 40 and Connett #, and Play- er 53 and Reilly #0 mae: DONT FUSS WITH MUSTARD PLASTERS!

The sinking of the American tanker Healdton outside of the barred zone merely’ gives final emphasis to the determination of Germany to make ruthless war on American shipping . with- out regard to law, obligation or humanity. ‘It is-the latest and most convincing of a series of overt acts which has destroyed all hope of peace and puts Germany in a state of war with the United States. The issue is completely clari- fied. We are driven into war. It is here, and the next step is to make thdroughgoing preparation to the end that our entry into the war may assure the crushing of the German fnilitary power. The duty of Congress is clear. It should at once fix the war status of the nation so that the state of war will be recognized and acted upon. It must them take measures for the effective and successful prosecution of the war, in co-operation with our allies who.are on the fighting lines. We must utilize our vast resources in money, mate- riais and men to assure victory. We can make our war undertaking decisive for victory and an early, just peace. But in order to do this we must awaken and put our whole en- ergy and ability into the task. : Voting credits and money for the allies, speed- ing the construction and manning of naval ves- sels and adopting a measure of universal mili- tary training are imperative acts. The strongest offensive is the best defensive policy. = = rT FARM BANKS’ INITIAL SUCCESS. The first applications for Joans made to the St. Louis Federal Land Bank total: $2,137,099, of which $654,375 represents the present needs of Missouri farmers. The Arkansas applications ap- proximate a million. It must be remembered that credit from the or- dinary sources is now supplied on easier terms than perhaps ever before. The commercial banks have great resources from which to meet all de- mands on safe security. Interest rates have shown a material decline in the past 18 months. The fact that, in these prosperous times. borrow- fers ask more than two millions from the land bank before it is organized may fairly be said to show the wisdom with which Congress acted in making special provision for rural credit at low rates. That the applications will reach $10,- 000,000 within a year after the institution is in running order and its facilities have i -come known to the rural public is entirely believable. Those who obtain these initial 5 per cent loans will save $100,000 for each five-year minimum period, as compared with the 6 per cent generally paid in interest, and as is well known, most farmers have to pay more than 6 per cent. Even more attractive than the low interest charges are the convenient terms for repayment. The land banks, like the parcel post and the postal savings banks, are likely to have a success surpassing rather than falling \below the most sanguine pre- dictions. o + o—___. —__ The Germans retreated so rapidly from Noyon that they had time only to destroy one structure of military importance—the Cathedral. —$o9—________ THE UNENACTED ADAMSON BILLS. Among many sentences-in Chief Justice White's opinion affirming in varying phrase the para- mountcy of the general Government's authority over interstate railroads is the following: - To what derision would it not reduce the proposition that the Government had power to enforce the duty of operation, if that power did not extend to doing that which was essen- tial to prevent operation from being complete- ly stopped. It was thought that the power of Government over certain individual acts under democracies had been exercised to the utmost in the laws like the Canadian Lemieux statute prohibiting strikes on utilities until after a prescribed period. devoted to the examination of the differences at issue. But the ruling on the Adamson law shows not only that Congress is empowered to prescribe re- strictions on the individual right of interstate util- ity employes to strike, bu@ that such right is ex- ercised only by the sufferance of Congress and can be withdrawn. In other words, no constitu- tional righteto strike exists. Supplementary to the Adamson law, Mr. Wilson the conditions under which interstate strikes may take place. Congress has so far failed to ap- prove this program, some members alleging a doubt as to its validity. The decision removes all doubt as to its full validity. It should be passed. Union resistance to it may bring a demand for much more drastic legislation for the public’s protection, under which railroad strikes might be prohibited altogether. By implication the decision also greatly ampli- fies the recognized power of states over utilities wholly withjn their jurisdiction, the street car lines of a city, for instance. sy Nis SB ER AWAITING THB NEWS FROM MONROE. In these parlous time, when yesterday's news- paper is ages old, when autocracies are over- thrown overnight, when empires are tottering, when the next click of the telegrapher's key may tell that an additional 100,000,000 of people have been plunged into the cauldron of war, it seems almost too much to ask us to wait until April 4 to learn the result of the plebiscite in Monroe, Wis. The stalwart voters of Monroe on April 3 will have an opportunity to register their will upon matter# of great importance. They are asked to say whether Congress should declare war on Germany, whether merchant vessels should be {armed and convoyed and whether American citi- sens should take passage on belligerent merchant- men carrying contraband. Monroe, in the last census, had a population of 4400, of which @ per cent is said to be of Swiss origin. It manufactures carriages and cheeses. it has six newspapers, of which two boast of such inepiring titles as “Free Speech” and “Sentinel of Liberty,” and a third, printed in the German language, has the largest circulation of al! ex- cept one, , | The only regret is that the election is so far recommended a very moderate program defining |} aa een rest of the country to do is to-look just as.pleas- ant as it can and wait. sentment of the charge that he is un-American and his declaration of his loyal support of ‘the | Government in war with Germany. The issue of un-Americaniem and of disloyalty was forced by the silence of the local Republican platform on the crisis confronting the country. That silence reflected on the loyalty of Repub- lican candidates and Republican voters. If a small part of Mr. Kiel’s declaration of loyalty had been inserfed in the local Republican platform the Post-Dispatch’s question concerning the reason for his party organization’s attitude would never have been asked. If Mr. Kiel believed, as he states, that all the Republican candidates and all the people of St. Louis are true-blue Americans, why did he per- mit the silence of his platform? Why did not he declare himself in meeting and Insist upon the adoption of a plank declaring for the defense of American rights and supporting the President in his stand for the national honor and sov- ereignty and for the protection, of American citi- zens and ships on the seas? The excuse given for the failure of the party leaders to adopt a declaration in support of the Government is almost as bad as silence on the issue. They say they did not think of it and that no one proposed it. How can Americans over- look such an issue? Judge Spencer compares this great overshadowing patriotic national issue with such a political issue as the tariff, which is wide of the mark. The Post-Dispatch is smoking out the Repub- lican leaders. The Mayor’s declaration and the flag waving at his meetings shows that séme- thing has-been accomplished towards patriotic unity in St. Louis. We have always onposed injecting national or State political issues in municipal campaigns. We have always fought race prejudices and hatreds. We are now fighting race divisions in America. We ate fighting for American unity in the face of a foreign foe which is lawlessly at- tacking American rights and destroying Amer- ican ships and American citizens. The men who are fomenting race hatreds are the men who are preaching disloyalty or yielding to the influence of disloyal elements. We -hold that in this national issue every man in America must be openly for the defense of America against aggression from any source or must be counted against America. The coward or the “gum shoe” politician who yields to disloyal influence for political gain is a greater menace to the country than the open disloyalist. Neither should be put on guard. It is deplorable that this issue was raised by the silence of the dominant party in St. Louis., It diverts attention from local fssues on which ‘the campaign should be fought. If it was a mere over sight the blunder should be corrected at once. wee ; sss cess ninidlaieilaiaiili telat The town .of Monroe, Wis., occupied almost oH tirely by Swiss, is going to vote on whether tite })) United States should go to war or not.

The Post-Dispatch dragnet inquiry of St. Louis- ans as to what they think of-the advisability of universal military training shows that sentiment in the Middle West, as represented in the Fourth City of the United States, is overwhelmingly for it. Reporters put the question to persons of evepy walk in life, laborers, mechanics, business and professional men, politicians, civil officials, io 93 responses only nine were en to uni b service. Even of the nine the majority based their po- sition upon a misconception of the plan which is proposed for the United States. It was their idea that it would mean militarism such as is blamed for the great war. In fact, it means something altogether different. Militarism means standing armies and the sub- ordination of the civil to the military authority, or, at least, equal authority for both. The plan proposed for America does not mean standing armies or a martial regime. It simply means that all boys shall give up a few months when they can spare them best to receive adequate instruction for military service when the coun- try needs it. They will not be drawn-frem civil life long enough to interfere with ordinary preparation to fit themselves for citizenship. They will re- turn to civil life speedily, better men. mentally and physically for the experiences they haye undergone. And then, when an emergency comes, the country will not have to oppose an untrained soldiery to the well-disciplined ranks of a hostile army. The result of this informal plebiscite is grati- fying. St. Louis is in accord with the rest of the country in this important matter. ae > L -- = BRYAN'S PORTRAIT. From the New York Sun. With those who would add the weight of Mr. Bryan's avoirdypois to the burden of the tradi- tional “sour apple tree” we disagree. We must protest that the only appropriate place and way to hang him is on the back staira’ wall of the State Department's official suite, and in effigy. That picture, faithfully portraying the Céem- moner sort of vacuity, now about to be hung, should look down forever upon the spot where the peerless meddier whispered in the ear of Dumba that all our diplomatic stiff talk was merely for public consumption and that what the administration was actually determined on was peace at any price—especially honor. The present time, when the country has been plunged into war, in fact if not In mame, as the result of the misinformation so sedulously spread by Bryan and his disciples, is also most appro- priate for suspending his likeness ovér the scene of his crime.

S. Webb for Red Cross. By teased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 2.—Immediate success is attending the auction bridge chain tournament started by Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer and Mrs. W. Seward Webb, by which it is expected to raise $200,000 for the American Red Cross fund and suf- ferers from infantile paralysis. Mrs. Pulitzer gave the first party last Tuesday at her residence, 7 East Sev- enty-third street, entertaining five ta- bles, and yesterday Mrs. Phillips A. Clark, Mrs. Charles T. Barney and Mrs. F, B, Keach, members of the working committee, and players at Mrs. Pulit- zer’s Tuesday game, played off their four-table obligation. The Hon. Mrs. Alfred Anson will give her four-table party today. For the purpose of aiding all who wish to help in the entries, Mrs. Pulitzer an- nounced yesterday that ske will throw open her house to any hostess who wants to become part of the chain who finds herself unable to accommodate her own guests, provided such person wil! make sure to bring along the correct number of players. Arrangements for this may be made by addressing Mrs. Pulitzer at her residence, No. 7 East Seventy-third street. A feature of the scheme thas seems to appeal is the plan for someone, not in the original chain, to start a three- table chain of her own which, if worked out to the end, will net nearly $1000. To Mrs. Henry Littleton belongs the honor of being the first to do this and others are following her. Mrs, Pulitzer will also be glad to explain the working of this scheme. While inquiries in satisfactory number are coming in relative to the scheme, the committee’s main desire is to have the chain idea spread over as wide a territory as possible, and anybody any- where who would like to join a table at any time should send in her name and she will be assigned a place, after which, of course, she must complete the system. “The plan should have a claim on all,” said Mrs. Pulitzer. ‘‘As we are ready for war it is a fitting time for every public-spirited man and woman to do his or her best in whatever way they can, ahd one of the easiest and simplest methods of helping is to be one of the links in this bridge chain.’’ | SOCIETY. | HE Junior League entertainment, T which has been definitely set -for April 20 and 21, is beginning to en- gage the attention of society. There will be 6 belles and 6 beaux in the pro- duction and a special number for the young married set. It will be the ‘‘Follies,”’ for the first time given in St. Louts, and according to report from other places where Donald Macdonald has given the show, it is up to date and one set of costumes he is bringing with him is arousing every- one’s curiosity. There will be a skating number, among other attractive ones, and the Junior League is offering a prize of $3 for the featured in the production. It can be a song, a waltz, something gay, bright and catchy. The contestants will send their work to Miss Frances Reid Jones, 4 Portland place. Mr. and Mrs. G. Theodore Meyer, whose home at 5869 Cates avenue burned Sunday night, have taken an apartment at 4931 McPherson avenue. Both the St. Louis Club and the Cen- tury Boat Club, whose bowling teams will meet at the latter’s clubhouse Tuesday evening, have sent out cards requesting their respective members to be present that evening to promote cordiality, to root and otherwise make the event a success. It will be the final match for the silver trophy do- nated by the St. Louis Club, and the teams now stand, St. Louis 2431 to the Century's 2677. This evening the St. Louis Chapter of the U. D. C. will present ‘The Bagle’s Wings,” a moving picture drama at the Lorelei Theater at 7:45 and 9 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Barroll Jr., who have been spending part of the winter here, have returned to their fruit ranch near Hood River, Ore. During the last week, the members of the Kirkwood Country Club, and their friends have received invitations for the club’s annual Palm Beach dance, which will be given at the clubhouse on Thurs.- day evening of Haster week, April 12. The dance, for which elaborate prep- arations have been made, will be pre- ceded by a petite musicale, given by Mme. Theodora Sturkow-Ryder, who will be assisted in a group of her songs, by E. J. Beach of New York. He is a nephew of the late Rev. Dr. Henry Ward Beecher. Mr. and Mrg. W. C. Steigers of 5156 Von Versen avenue have returned to the city after an absence of two months at Palm Beach, Fia. Mrs. Steigers’ health was much improved by the trip. Miss Grace Gettys, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Senter L. Gettys of 6335 Del. mar boulevard, gave a bridge luncheon today in honor of Miss Isabel Dysart of Cincinnati, who is making a round of visits in St. Loule and its now Miss Gettys’ guest. There were eight ta. bles for the game and the players were some of thie and last winter's debu- tantes. Miss Gettys will depart early in April for Jackson, Tenn., to spend two weeks at a house party. ? 7 we =" 4 .

NEW YORK, March 23.—It was an- nounced here today that Elzey G. Burk- ham and Henry 8. Priest of St. Louis had been added to the directorate of the North American Co., which controls the United Railways and Union Elec- tric companies in St. Louis. This was done, it was understood, to satisfy the James Campbell estate in- terests, which last week were reported as in opposition to the re-election of James D. Mortimer as president of the North American Co. Burkham is the husband of Campbell's daughter. George R. Sheldon, who has been treasurer of the company, will retain that place and also be chairman of the board. Mortimer continues as president.

PARIS, March 5.—The stationary char- acter of the war has allowed a number of legends and superstitions to be born traced and@ explained, while others re- main obscure. The story of the “Mons angels” last year was proved to have arisen from a newspaper story in which the vision was described but not as an account of a fact. The superstition that declares that it is unlucky to light three cigarettes or cigars with a single match has be- come very widespread. Guillaume Apol- linaire, the poet, in writing about it in the current number of the Mercure de France, says that it has been introduced into France by the English army, al- though the present writer first met with it in France long before the war, but had never heard of it in England. Apollinaire tells how he was invited to mess with. a friend, Second Lieut. Francois V , how this superstition was discussed and laughed at by all present except himself and Francois V , and how Francois V hap- pened to be the third to light his cigar- ette with the same match. Thrifty Seldier Killed. The morning after Francois V was killed five or six miles from the front lines by a German shell. It ap- pears that the superstition is that the death is always of this nature, as Ap- pollinaire quotes a captain of a mixed tirailleur and zouave regiment as say- ing: “It is not so much the death that fol- lows, as death no longer is a dread to anyone, but it has been noticed that it is always.a useless form of death. A shell splinter in the trenches or at rest in the rear, which has nothing heroic about it, if there is anything in this war which is not heroic.” To dream of an autobus has become a token of death. Apollinaire has found this superstition in four different regi- ments and gives a story of a sergeant who succeeded in averting the omen in the case of a corporal: who said he had dreamed of an autobus. ‘‘How can that be,’ the sergeant asked, ‘‘when you have never been to Paris or seen an autobus?’’ The corporal described the vision. ‘‘That an autobus?’’ declared the sergeant. ‘‘Why, that's one of those new machines that the English are using. Don’t let that worry you!” A regiment from the south has the same belief about an automobile lorry instead of an autobus and can quote many examples of the truth of such dreams. Gold coins are a mascot in the front explain. It was at first believed that wounded men on whom some gold was found would be better looked after by those who found them, and by degrees the belief grew up, especially among artillery, that a gold coin was a talis- man against being mutilated if they were taken prisoners whether wounded or not. Apollinaire knew of a certain bat- tery which in May, 1915, had some £1000 in gold among its men, thanks fiettr to their commerce in rings, paper f%.nives and other souvenirs, made by them from cartridge cases and aluminum and sold to foot soldiers. j —_—_—_——_—_—— MAYOR MITCHEL’S CHARGE OF DISLOYALTY LIE, SAYS SENATOR: Wagner, Native of Germany, Threat- ens to Have Executive Sum. moned Before Legislature. ALBANY, N. Y., March 23.—The State Legislature today awaited steps which Senator Robert F. Wagner has threat- ened to take to vindicate himself in view of the charges of disloyalty made by Mayor Mitchel of New York. Senator Wagner is a Democrat and minority leader in the upper House. Mayor Mitchel, according to reports from New York, blames Wagner with other members of the Legislature for defeating his plans for taking title to land at Rockaway Point needed by the Federal Government for the construc- tion of fortifications to protect New York. Senator Wagner has declared he will ask to have Mayor Mitchel sum- moned before the bar of the Senate to expain his alleged charge that Wag- rer “‘was working in the interests of Germany rather than in the interests of the United States.”’ Gov. Whitman and Senator Brown. Republican leader in the Senate, have both denounced the Mayor's statement as unjustified. Senator Wagner was botn in Germany, but came to this country when he was 4 years old. In an impassioned statement last night he asserted that the Mayor's charge was “an infamous lie,”” and that he was ready to give his life for the defense of this country. Injunction proceedings were brought by the Rockaway Pacific corporation against the State Commission recently suthoriged. by the Legislature to seize end transfer to the Federal Govern. Ment lands owned by the corporation at E:ockaway Beach. : APPOINTED BISHOP OF MONTEREY Monsignor Peter J.

The executive committee of the Muni- cippal Voters’ League today issued a special report on the office of Comptrol- ler, recommending that James Y. Player, Democratic nominee, be elected to thax office at the election April 3. No recom- mendation is made as to nominees for Mayor or for the Board of Aldermen. It is expected that re mendati at least as to the Aldermen, will be ‘made later. The leagve in its report recites the fec. ords of Player and Louis Nolte, the Re- publican nominee, and of William E. Eckart, Socialist. While it speaks fa- vorably of Nolte’s business career and of his six years’ service as Sheriff, and of Eckart’s personal reputation, the re- port says that Player’s long expericnce in the office is a valuable asset which the city ought not to lose. The Muricipal Voters’ League is non- partisan and non-sectarian, and shvuld not be confused with the so-called In- dependent Voters’ Leaguo, which car- ries on @ campaign of religious proscrir- tion. The report on the candidates for Comptroller is signed by J. M. Wulfing, Lewis Haslam, Benjamin A. Wood, Ern- est N. Birge and nine members of the executive committee. HARVARD WILL RELEASE MEN IF WAR COMES, PAPER SAYS | am Editerial Also Expresses Opinion That University Plant Will Be Made Training Camp. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 23.—A semi-official announcement that in eevnt of war the college year at Har- vard University probably would be terminated within a short time and the university plant turned into a military trainig camp, was made to- day. The announcement was in the |jform of an editorial in the Harvard Crimson. “As soon as the decision (to enter the war) is made,’’ the editorial says, “the university authorities probably will allow all men enrolled in any branch of the naval reserves to leave college at once and report to their designated stations. This will nat- urally apply also to members of the State militia. For those enrolled in the reserve officers’ training corps special examinations will be given soon as possible after the declara- tion. These will take the place of the regular final examinations.” The editorial then says if the ap- proval of the War Department is ob- tained the university probably will be turned into a military training camp. CHINA TO HONOR HAY’S MEMORY Monument to Former American Sec- retary Planned in Pekin.

John Hay is regarded by the Chinese as one of the best friends that: country ever had.

Just at the critical, moment Hay, by announcing that tha, United States stood for equal commercial privileges in China for all nations, and for the in- aoa and independence of that coun- try, practically put a hat to the move- ment.

You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once a week invited an awful death from lockjaw or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authority to use a drug called freezone, which the moment a few drops are applied to any corn, the soreness is relieved and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out with the fingers. It is a sticky substance which dries the moment it is applied and is said to simply shrivel the- corn without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin. It is claimed that a quarter of an ounce will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but is sufficient to rid one’s feet of every hard or soft corn or callus: You are further warned that cut- ting at a corn is a suicidal habit.— ADV 7 Gevermment Helés and Read Denice Seliciting Fee Is Rebate.

Interest in the Rickey case is begin- ning to wane. Whatever legal action President Phil Ball of the Browns con- templates has been kept secret and, in the meantime, the aforementioned Branch Wesley Rickey is applying him- self to the Herculean task of ‘“‘putting the Cardinal idea over.”’ Rickey made a brief talk to the Or- ganization Committee at the Mercan- tile Club yesterday and outlined some of his p!ans for building up the Cardinal club, “Our team already has the best scout in America today in Bob Connery,” paid Branch, “and it has a manager who, if given the proper backing, will prove, in my estimation, one of the “most capable field leaders in the game. » White Sox. players of “Huggins has not had a chance as yet Conditions over which he has had nv control have persistently uperated to de- feat his firely conceived plans for building up a winning team. ‘Tt is a fact that one of the players earnestiy sought by Huggins last sum- mer Ss recently won a regular ber:r. on what promises to be the most ‘for- midable tearm in the American League.

"There have been other instances such fe this. But I tell you, gentlemen, that Huggirs now has the nucleus of a win- ning club. He has the best catching staff in either league. Baseball men unanimously admit that. He has other recognized major league stavdard, sufficient in number to war- rant the belief that, with the proper financial backing, the ‘Cardinals can, in ‘two years, be placed on a formidablé 90 ng. “I am in favor of the Cardinal idea in all its details.

Mail this fob back to him, will you? I found it in the hall. It’s only worth about a dollar, but he may want it.”’ Old Witch N NCE upon a time thousands and O thousands of years ago, I think, for no one ever hears of Witch Neda in these days, an old witch named Neda used to jump on her broomstick with another broom in her hand; she used to fly about the sky, brushing away the cobwebs, as she called them. What she really did was to brush away the little rainclouds that the stars used for veils when they were tired of rhining. ‘You let our veils stay over our faces,’’ said the little stars, quite angry with old Witch Neda. ‘‘We want them, you wicked old witch. Go away, go away!’’ But Witch Neda would only laugh a Cackling laugh and go on with her broom, sweeping away the cobwebs. “Silly little stars,” said old Witch Neda; “they would have the sky in a most untidy state if it were not for me. I have to sweep every night. If I didn’t the sky would be filled with cobwebs. ‘Veils,’ indeed. Those silly little things do not know the difference between a veil and a cobweb.” One night the stars were all wearing their veils when along came old Witc!: Neda with her broom and whisked them off and the little stars were 80 angry they forgot their nice manners and many of them rushed at old: Witch ae en a es Ee eda—Part I. Neda, darting little sharp points righc¢ into her face and making her wink and blink so that she could not see where she was going. She bumped right into the moon, who was just com- ing out from behind the cloud to see what was going on. ‘“‘Look out where you are going, ol4 witch,’ he Called. Old Neda dropped her broom and made a grab for the: moon, and she caught him, too, right by the nose. “Here, here, here! Let go my nose!’ he cried, but old Witch Neda did no: let go. She hung on and carried him off to her house on the top of a high mountain. ‘T have given those silly stars some- thing to cry about now,” said old Neda, as she opened a dark closet and threw in the moon. “They won't have any moonlight for a while, and if I can get the sun I can have things all my own way in the sky and make those stars sorry they were so rude to me tonight.” The next day when the sun was shining and not thinking a thing about any harm coming to him old Neda put on her smoked glasses and her high- topped cap and a long, black cape. Then she jumped on her broomstick and flew straight for the sun. Of course, the stars were asleep and could No MONEY DOWN WITHOUT MONEY--YOU CLOTHE YOURSELF Men and Women—this is your store—where your Credit Equals Cash — where you can clothe yourself in the Best Spring- Clothing—while you wear thein —you pay us.

Now I can take a little nap,” he said; “here comes a black cloud, which I can hide behind for a while. I do get so sleepy shining all day,” and then the sun gave a yawn just to get ready for his nap. But something happened; he didn’t just know what, but before he could stop the yawn he felt a jerk, and then he was covered with something black and whizzed along at a terrible rate of speed, he did not know where. “There, I guess I can run things to suit myself now.”’ said Witch iveda, as she took from under her cape the sun, winking and blinking and wondering whatever had happened to him. Into the dark closet with the moon she threw the sun and closed the door. Of course, the stars awoke as soon as it was dark, and it became dark right away when old Neda stole the sun so the little stars shone and winked all night and all day because the sun did not get up and they did not know when the night was over. The next night they twinkled anda the next day, but then they began to get so sieepy they could not keep their bright eyes open, and one by one they began to nod. “I wonder what can be the matter with us?’ said one star, trying to keep awake. “This is the longest night I ever saw.”’ “And I wonder where the moon is?” said another. “If we could see him we might find out why the sun is so lazy this morning.” Old Witch Neda was flying about, hid- den beneath her eblack cape, and she laughed to herself as she heard what the stars said. “I can tell you where the sun is and the moon, too,’’ she said, throwing off her cape and showing herself to the Stars. “I have them both locked up in a closet in my house,” and off she flew on her broomstick, leaving the poor little stars quite speechless with amaze- ment. Tomorrow I will tell you what the stars did to get the sun and moon back in the ciiy. (Continued Tomorrow.)
