LONDON, March 2%.—Referring to Statements made in the Times by J. P. Whitaker, an Englishman, who declared that he had just escaped from Roubaix, where he lived for 30 months during the German occupation, that trainloads of foodstuffs sent by the American Relief Commission had failed to arrive there, the directors of the commission in Lon- don gave the Associated Press the fol- lowing denial: We can state positively that not a single carload, much less a trainload, of the commission's provisions, once start- ed for Roubaix or any other town occu- pied in France, ever failed to arrive. In fact, the total receipts of the whole 1882 French communes provistoned by the commission show a loss of but two- tenths of one per cent on 485,000 tons of foodstuffs sent in by the commission from Holland and Brussels. With regard to the statement of Mr. Whitaker that the Germans had taken American white flour and substituted rye flour, adulterated with sawdust, the facts are: This German flour was not substituted for any American flour, but was provided by the Germans from the native French crop as an addition to the American ration, and was the same flour mixture of rye and wheat as fur- nished to the German soldiers. This ad- dition amounted to 100 grammes daily per person until November, 1916, and now is 180 grammes daily.’’ ASSOCIATED PRESS ENJOINS INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE Order Prevents Defendants From Using Complainant’s News Prior to Its Publication, NEW YORK, March 29.—The applica- tion of the Associated Press for a writ of injunction restraining the Interna- tional News Service from appropriating the complainant's news at any time prior to publication by complainant's members, was granted by Judge Au- gustus N. Hand in the Federal District Court today. As to the right of the qmplainant to an injunction restraining the defendant from the appropriation of complainant's news after publication, the Court states as follows: “While I am personally satisfied after giving the matter most deliberate and careful consideration that the right ex- ists to prevent the sale. by a competing news agency of news which is taken from early publication of complainant's menibers before a sufficient time has elapsed to afford opportunity for gen- eral publication and that the existing practice amounts to unfair trade, yet the matter is one of first impression and my decision cannot be regarded suffi- ciently free from doubt to justify the granting of preliminary injunction upon this branch of the case. The effect of this opinion is to leave open for decision upon the final hearing the question whether the Associated ress is entitled to an injunction against the appropriation by the Internationa! News Service of news after its publica- tion by the members of the Associated Press. GEORGIA'S ‘BONE DRY’ LAW ADDS TO INTERNED GERMANS’ WOES ATLANTA, Ga., March 2.—The 1411 German sailors who are guests of Uncle Sam at Fort McPherson, have met with many disappointments in America,” but the real bitterness of their fate was not brought home to them until they learned they were in a done dry” State. The bill was signed by Gov. Harris last night and became effective at once. The law bars liquor from the State ex- cept for medicinal, mechanical and sac- ramental purposes, under rigid restric- tions. Under a Government law, liquor is not supposed to be kept on Government res- ervations, and the officers believe there is no way to supply liquor whfch the Germans have requested. LAYS EGG A DAY FOR 83 DAYS Kentucky Hen Beats Missouri Lay- er Record of Eighty-Two. LEXINGTON, Ky., March 2.—What is said to be a world’s record for egg production was broken today by Lady Walnut Hill, leghorn pullet, owned by Dr. R. Lindsay Ireland of Louisville, in the Federal egg-laying contest at the Kentucky Experiment Station here. when she deposited an egg for the eighty-third consecutive day. The record noretofore was 82 consecu- tive eggs, made by a hen in a contes: at the Mountain Grove, Mo., station some time ago. IM. L. ADVOCATES CHOICE OF CONNETT OVER MAYOR KIEL Report States Mayor’s Conduct Toward Efficiency Board Is “Deserving of Censure.” | MERIT STAND CRITICISED) Belief Expressed Democrat Has Ability to Discharge Duties Without Political Bias. The Municipal Voters’ League, a vol- untary organization formed to make recommendations on .candidates at elec- tions, in a special report today on the mayoralty candidates to be voted on at the election next Tuesday, recom- mends the election of William C. Con- nett, Democrat, in the belief that Mr. Connett possesses the character and the ability to discharge the duties of the of- fice of Mayor free from partisan polit- ical bias and that he will endeavor to carry out the provisions of the new charter.“ The league’s report follows: HENRY W, KIEL, Republican (in- cumbent), 1625 Missouri avenue. 46 years old; brick contractor; elected Mayor in April, 1913. Mayor Kiel advocated and worked effectively to secure the adop- tion of the new charter. For this achievement he deserves unqualified praise. After the charter went into effect he demonstrated that he either did not understand many of its modern and pro- gressive provisions, particularly those relating to the merit system, or that he had no intention of carrying them out as they were written. He appointed a good Efficiency Board under the provisions of the new charter relating to the merit system. As chair- man of this board he appointed Mr. Thomas H. Rogers, who.had up to that time been his private secretary. From the very beginning the Mayor sought to retain a controlling influence over the Efficiency Board. He attempted to influenee the board in the choice of its own office force. He urged the exemp- tion of different — * from the clas- = might be 1 without a ex- aminations. He brought pressure to bear to in- duce the Board to exempt the entire class of unskilled laborers (comprising a large proportion of city employes, who often furnish a ready fleld of con- trol for ward politicians) from taking any test whatever, and expressed sur- prise when the Board i.nd particularly its chairman, Mr. Rogers, declined to yield to a course which it seemed to them would be a plain violation of the charter and of their oath of office. He charged Mr. Rogers with personal in- gratitude, disloyalty and stubbornness. Instead of answering with a vote of confidence the constant attacks which petty politicians made upon Mr. Rog- ers, the Mayor announced that he would not reappoint him when his term ex- pired in September, 1916; and he did not reappoint him. “Deserving of Severe Censure.” On the other hand Mayor Kiel was concerned that Mr. Henry L. Weeke, Committeeman from the Ejfghteenth ward, should have a city position and a place was found for him under tem- porary appointment as Superintendent of Excavations in the street depart- ment, a position which he still holds, notwithstanding the fact that he failed to pass in an examination which he later took for that position, The Mayor brought the pressure of his official position to bear upon heads of departments to secure appointments of a political nature to important po- sitions that did not come under the classified service. His conduct toward the Efficiency Board and the Merit Sys- tem is deserving of severe censure. Members of his family and relatives are on the city payroll. He has used his official position to try to influence heads of departments to do things against their better judg- ment, à course of action which inevita- bly tends to destroy initiative of action and independence of judgment among appointees. He has given no evidence of a grasp of the budget inaking provisions of the New Charter. He has taken no posi- tive public stand to secure a well Continued on Page . Column 2. —— Added Together.

TEST HIS PEACE PLAN Points Out Berlin Approved Idea Although Treaty Was Never Adopted. MIAMI, Fla., March 2.—William J. Bryan today addressed an appeal to the Senate and Hovse of Representatives urging that an attempt be made to secure the suspension of Germany’s ruthless submarine campaign through the application of the so-called Bryan peace plan, which provides for an in- vestigation of all disputes by an inter- national tribunal before resort to war. Bryan asked that Congress also con- sult the wishes of the people through a referendum if it concludes that noth- ing but war will satisfy the nation’s honor. Bryan’s appeal to Congress fol- lows: Exercising the citizen’s right of petition, I appeal to you. The dis- pute with Germany has passed be- yond the domain of diplomacy and some advise settlement by the sword. The metropolitan press, which tried to prevent the re-election of the President and failed, undismayed by a popular verdict of more than one- half million, now seeks to lash the country into a fury and urges the Government to take part in the Euro- pean conflict. To you, and to you only, is given constitutional authority to declare war—war which in this case may mean the signing of the death war- rant of thousands, even millions, of your countrymen and the laying of grievous burdens upon future gen- erations. Wrongs Not Directed at U. 8. Before you take this blood upon your hands, consider, I pray you, first, pe the 4 which you marily against this country, but are acts of desperation directed against other nations with which the offend- ers are at war. 2. That our land is not threatened with invasion, but that we are asked to go 3000 miles for a chance to fight. 3. That we have not the excuse for going to war that the European nations had. They had no machin- ery for peace. We have a peace plan offered by this nation to the world and now embodied in 30 trea- ties with three-quarters of the pop- ulation of the globe. The plan has the indorsement of the President, the commendation of the Senate and the approval of the people at the polls. It provides for investigation of all disputes by an international tribunal before resort to war. Fortunately, these treaties compel us to employ the plan with Great Britain, France, Italy and ..ussia be- fore going to war with them. Ger- many formally approved the plan, although no treaty has yet been con- cluded with her. Shall we repudiate our own plan the first time we have an opportunity to employ it? If, as the President recently de- clared, the American people do not want war, is it not worth while to try the peace plan before bringing upon the people the horrors of war? Until an attempt is made and fails, no one is able to say that it would be impossible to secure the suspen- sion of ‘ruthless’ submarine warfare during the investigation for which the plan provides. Shall we deny ourselves the credit of trying to settle the dispute with the treaty plan? Would Carry Citizens on U. S. Ships. And, is it not worth while to do our part in trying to avoid injury? Would it not be better, as well as cheaper, for the Government to carry on its own vessels such Americans as must go to Europe rather than engage in war to vindicate the right of citizens to disregard all risks and ride upon belligerent ships? Is it not worth while to separate passengers from contraband cargoes so that the captains of passenger ships can give their entire attention to the safety of the passengers? Our nation is the world's foremost advo- cate of peace. If we go to war it should be for a cause which history will justify. If you reach the conclusion that nothing but war will satisfy the na- tion’s honor, is it too much to ask that by a referendum you consult the wishes of those who must. in case of war, defend the nation’s honor with thelr lives? As one who expects to live up to a citizen's duties, if war comes, I plead with you to use all honorable means to preserve peace before vou take the responsibility of plunging our be- loved land into this unprecedented struggle, begun without any suffi- clent cause and conducted by both sides in utter disregard of the well settied rights of neutrals.

Les terday’s acceptances were only 17, out of 32 applications, while Tuesday there were 30 acceptances out of 69 applica- tions. Regimental officers ered various mottoes which, it was thought; might be ef- fective in getting men to enlist. Some of these were “Your Country Needs You; Are You Ready?” “Don't Leave It for the Other Fellow,” and “Be a Man; Do It Now.” Band Plays Downtown. The regimental band was sent down- town at noon, with a procession of guardsmen and recruits carrying signs urging others to enlist. The band played on the streets and particularly at the regimental recruiting stations. Some of the signs carried read: One Man NOW Is Worth Three Later,“ and ou Said ‘I'll Enlist When the Call Comes.’ What Is Your Excuse Now?“ Majors Lowe and McMahon are in charge of the plans for a recruiting re- vival. One of the most welcome recruits that the regiment has received was Harry Fellows, Assistant manager of Hotel Jefferson. Fellows is a vet- eran of the Spanish-American War, and because of his military and busi- ness experience, he Was it once ap- pointed to the vacant position of Sergeant-Major of the First Regi- ment, second battalion, under Maj. Lowe. In this position he will have charge of the battalion :ecords, and will also be in cyarge of the daily guard mount, the principal ceremony of the day. Fifteen gas stoves, which were or- dered by the regiment from the La- clede Gas Light Co., with the inten- tion of paying for them, were donated to the regiment today by C. L. Hol- man, president of the company. Men Needed, Net Names. A. B. Donnelly, Adjutant-Genera! told today consid- and slogans Col. of the National Guard of Missouri. the Chamber of Commerce, at luncheon in the Planters Hotel yesterday that the Government needed men, not names. He decried as ridiculous the plan of some of the members, to enroll mew who would be willing to serve if required in war, and he demanded that the organi- zation should help the First Regiment to get recruits. Will Help Guard to Heerait. Following closely Donnelly’s demand of the Chamber of Commerce that that organization and others support the national guard, the Military Training Corps, a patriotic or- ganization, opened headquarters at 701 Locust street to speed up enlistments in the guard. Former Park Commissioner Dwight Davis. Robert Burkham, Judge Selen P.

This was made necessary, it is official- ly stated, in view of an appeal to the people, which is characterized as se- ditious. Internal disorders and widespread strikes in Spain have been reported at intervais during the last year. In De- cember a general strike of 24 hours was called by the labor organizations as a protest against the increased price of food. In January rioting and incen- diarism at Saragossa were reported. Last summer the railway employes struck and for a week Spain was under martial law. Food Shortage and War Attitude, Factors in Unrest in Spain. WASHINGTON, March 29.—Frequent reports from Spain of widespread un- rest because of her attitude toward the war and an almost universal food short- age, made officials at the State Depart- the suspension of constitutional guar- antees without surprise. Since the be- ginning of the war there has been de- cided internal dissension as to Spain's attitude in the war, and during the last few months especially, with the sharp- ening of the German submarine cam- paign, the food shortage has aggravated the trouble. Officials here, pointing out the simi- larity to the «ussian revolution, which also began through political unrest decp- ened by food shortage, were unwilling to predict the outcome. Recent reports have shown the food shortage has been felt in cities and in the country as well. Germany's subma rine warfare has sunk many Spanish vessels, has tied up most of the others and virtually stopped foreign trade. As a result the country has been threat- ened with an industrial crisis. A deeper cause of dissension has been Spain's war policy. The court, the clergy and the army have been reported Here as decidedly pro-German, so that Spain has not been fully trusted by the allies. Business interests, as neutral countries, and the people gener- ally were reported anti-German. Spain has protested sinking of her ships with a varying degree of bitterness.

By Associated Press. * LONDON, March 29.— Information direct from Germany from a report in the hands of the Associated Press asserts that Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, Imperial Chancellor, in his coming speech, will not only offer a large measure of electoral reform, but also a pos- sible modification of the submarine campaign in an eleventh-hour attempt to stave off war with the United States. rn 0 The German Government is greatly stirred by the revolution in Russia, especially in regard to its effect on American publie opinion, and believes, according to the information at hand, t internal reform in Germany will do more to soften the animosity of the American people than anything else could. —— 3 cite . President Preparing His Aan; Wants to Speak Early.in Week By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, March 23.—The Amer- ican public in a general way has as much information bearing directly on the present crisis between the United States and Germany, except on Ger- man plots against American interests, as the Government itself, it was ascer- tained definitely today. Regarding the plots, however, the Government has con- siderable information which it has so far not deemed wise to disclose. With the extraordinary session of Congress only four days off it also is known the Government is without knowledge of any further develop- ments in praspect in the situation be- tween now and that time. Neither has the Government any information of a possible peace move on Ger- many'’s part or that she has consid- ered abandoning her submarine ruth- lessless or that any other nation contemplates a step intended to change the situation. Hopes for Early Organisation. President Wilson was said today to be hopeful that the House of Repre- sentatives will rush its organization plans, so that there will be no delay ir affording him opportunity to make his auuress to a joint session. No matter how the final organization is perfected. administration leaders are anxious that if a prolonged fight is in prospect some sort of an arrangement be made for temporary organization to permit the President's appearance Tuesday or Wednesday. These officials feel that public opinion will not support a long struggle over organization and commit- tee patronage at such a critical time. The resolution for congressional action to comply with the President's recom- mendations probably will be considered | leaving the Senate | first in the House, to take it up later. The House Foreign Affairs Committee now is drafting va- rious forma of resolutions to meet the executive recommendations. Another reason for original House ac- tion is the probability that the resolu- tion will carry an emergency appro- priation. Appropriation measures must originate there. The peculiar situation in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, with Chairman Stone opposed to action which would lead to war, and the opposition of Senator Hitchcock, the next rank Pemocratic member, to steps further than an armed neutrality manifesto, war another factor in the tentative pian to have the resolution originate in the House. President Preparing 164. The President has received recommen dations from several Cabinet members on points to be included in his address and is now preparing it in « preliminary way. The final Cabinet meeting before the assembling of Congress wil) be held to- as they passed the House and to rush them through the House under suspension of rules. This would save weeks of the usual committee bear- ings and debate and might stimulate the Senate to speedy action. Several Government agencies and labor leaders are at work on details of plans to supply adequate labor for Government service in case of war, The American Federation of Labor put the Government in touch with skilled workmen; the Federal Public Employment Service will turnisd un- skilled men: the Civil Service Com- mission will supply clerks and the Postoffice Department will distribute advertisements of the Government's | needs. Four additional regiments of Na- tienal Guard, being mobilized today for Federal service, brought the num, ber of guardsmen ordered out for police duties in their reapective states to 50,000. The navy today gained 183 addi- tional men for officers dy the gradu- ation of the senior class of midship- men from the Naval Academy at Au- napolis, three months ahead of the ordinary graduation date. — Stone and La Follette Papected ta Oppose Deciaration of Wear.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-—The chief opposition in Congress to 6 war declaration is expected to come from Senators La Follette aum Bone. leaders of the filibuster which resulted in the defeat of the armed neutrality bill at the close of the last session.

The preambie of the resolution will declare that by the acts of the imperial German Govern- ment, a state of war exists between that Government and the United States. Pacifist leaders and German sympa- thizers, however, appear to feel that the President will be satisfied with a less positive expression of this country's dis- approval of the acts of Germany. They have begun activities to influence Con- gresemen who are arriving for the par- ty caucuses, of Friday and Saturday.

In the meantime, cur forces are not great enough nor have they had time enough to build an op- posing line of trenches.” The Germans are continuing to offer energetic resistance on the nortbern part of their new line. Reuter's corre- spondent at British headquarters in France says the Germans evidently re- gard Croisiiles as a point of great tech- nical importance and are contesting the approach of the British to it in force, but are being hard pressed. The Brit- ish gained considerable ground south and west of Croisilles yesterday. The Germans fell back, fighting as they with- drew, and suffering heavy casualties. French Capture Munitions Pepots; Artillery, Fighting Kept Up. PARIS, March 2%.—Important muni- tions and a supply depot have been captured by the French, the War Office announced today. Artillery fighting con- tinued during the night between the Somme and the Aisne, and the French kept in contact everywhere with the German line. Soissons was bombarded by heavy German guns. The statement follows: “From the Somme to the Aisne there js no change in the situation. Inter- mittent artillery fighting occurred dur- ing the night. Our troops everywhere maintained contact with the enemy’s lines. “In the course of the operations of recent days south of the Oise, we took possession of important depots of ma- terials and ammunition. Yesterday Ger- man long-range guns fired seven shells at Soissons.

On the left bank of the Meuse (Verdun front) our troops recaptured in a spirited attack the last elements of the trenches which the enemy had been holding since March 18. We took prisoners in the vicinity of Avocourt Wood and Hill 304. The official statement of last night said: “Between the Somme and the Oise great activity was displayed by both ar- tilleries, especially on the Essigny-Be- nay front. Our fire dispersed enemy pioneers south of St. Quentin; there was no infantry action. “Bouth of the Oise and north of Sois- sons, skirmishes between patrols occur- red at a number of points. In Champagne, after a violent bom- bardment of our positions west of Maisons de Champagne, the German; delivered a strong attack this morning, gaining a footing in some of the ele- ments of our first line. All of their at- tempts against Maisons de Champagne broke down under our fire, which in- fiicted sanguinary losses on the enemy. “Two surprise attacks against our small east of the road between Bt.

The report from British headquarters nid: “Following up their success of yes- terday morning, our cavalry captured during this afternoon Villers Faucon and Baulscourt, north of Roisel, and several! prisoners and four machine guns. “Last night a hostile attack on our new position at Equancourt was driven off with considerable German losses. “Further north our troops established themselves during the night at two points on the Boignes-Lagnicourt road after a short fight, and today gained round south and west of Croisilles, meeting with strong resistance. “We carried out successful raids early this morning east of of Aix-Noulette and north of Neuville St. Vaast."’ German Torpedo Boats Shell Dunkirk ; Two Casualties Result. PARIS, March 2%.—German torpedo boats fired 60 shells on the town ot Dunkirk on the night of March 25-26, according to an official statement.

Qe By Associated Press. PETROGRAD, March 2.—A declara- tion in support of the war has been issued by a committee of working men, soldiers and deputies and it apparently represents the sober conclusion which the masses of the population have reached after being swayed this way and that by the turbulent currents and cross-currents which swept through the country in the first days of the revolu- tion. This conclusion is that liberty and victory over the Germans are in- separable and that responsibility for plunging Europe into war rests on the Hohenzollern family and Prussian im perialistic ambitions. The tendency is to regard the war no longer as a struggle between nations, but as one between the new spirit of democracy and the old spirit of im- perialisi. Reassuring reports of the visit of Min- ister of War Guchkoff to the front con- tinue to be received. Everywhere the army responded with the greatest en- thusiasm to his appeals and declared itself ready to continue fighting until the end. The same spirit is manifested in Petrograd, where there are daily pro- cessions of troops carrying banners in- scribed: ‘‘Liberty and victory.’’ The idea of equal rights for women is beginning to gain weight. In the Gov- ernment of Ekaterinoslav peasants have sent women deputies to the Government Executive Committee. Former Czar Would Send His Son to Norway.

DECLARATION FOR |SHELLS FROM BRITISH GUNS PREVENTED BURIAL OF DEAD Inspection Shows Germans Tossed Bodies Into Open Grave in Front of Metal Swept Trenches. By a Staff Correspondent of the As- sociated Press. . BRITISH HEADQUARTERS, IN FRANCE, March B.—Now that the des- perate episodes in the war, known in history as the battles of the Somme, have been ended by the German retreat from Arras to the Aisne, it has been possible to investigate the conditions which existed along the German front prior to the backward swing to the so-called Hindenburg line. When the retreat began more than a month ago, the British swept over some old Somme positions held by the Ger- mans, and even the most hurried glimpse of the evacuated trenches indi- cated how untenable they had become and why it was decided to run no risks of another allied offensive in this sec- tor. Five miles of slogging along the old German lines in the vicinity of Ba- paume today revealed a picture which may never be seen again in this or any other war. The front line was à long, open. crumbling grave. Dead Tossee From Trenches. One realized how the men in ‘these trenches had been plagued by their own dead. Such a ceremony as decent burial had been out of the question and there was no means of conveying the bodies to the rear. It was necessary to pass them through a rain of shell to bring up food and water to the living. So the dead had been tossed out of the trenches, only to be blown back again by an exploding shell. Occasionally graves had been dug in the sides of the trench itself, but the dead could not rest there. It has been an enthralling thing to stand by the British guns in the last three or four months and wonder what was the meaning of all their continu- ous roar. There was no set battle in progress and the gunners said it was merely the dally hate“ going on to keeg Fritz unhappy. The revelations of the German trench- es, however, gives the answer to what the guns were doing. In some plages there were masses of human bodies. Neither by day nor by night had the Germans rested. Their trusted barbed wire, in which they always place such great reliance, had been swept away. and they dared not venture out to re- pair it. Works of Gunes Revealed. An trace of communication trenches leading to the front lines were wiped out and it had Ween necessary to bring up supplies and relief at night over 2 country blown into endless shell holes. many of which were filled to such a depth with water that men were drewned. White bits of broad tape could be seen here and there attached to the iren posts. These were for the purpose of suidirfg the men up to the front line. ‘These patnways over the fields of death also were strewn with bodies. One of the fallen soldiers had his right arm thrown Over his rifle as if his last impulse was to protect this weapon of defense. But there was no defense against the constant shelling. Dugouts Battered to Picces. „The front line, of course, was seamed with the inevitable deep Ger- man dugouts, but even these had not been immune. There were hundreds of direct hits on top of them, which must have made life hazardous with- in. Around the famous Butte de Warlencourt the German trenches have disappeared. The entire fury of the Somme fighting once swirled about this somewhat ‘nsignificant mound of powdered chalk, just off the Bapaume road, which is general- ly believed to have been a prehistoric tomb. The Butte now marks the death place not only of one supposed- ly distinguished prehistoric man, but thousands of young warriors.

He has failed to take steps to secure the great saving which would result from a standardization of em- ployment and the installation of ac- curate records and checks upon the time and output of city employes. Mayor Kiel deserves credit for his ap- proval of or active support given to pure milk legislation, Municipal Nurses’ Board, the enlargement of the zoo, the union scale and eight-hour day for city employes, Municipal Legal Aid Bureau, building of municipal docks, increased recreation facilities and other move- ments of public interest. During his administration many projects thereto- fore begun have been completed; the mill tax has been collected, the Mili Creek Sewer finished, the Lindell Cutoff opened, the free bridge opened for use and th nw jail and hospital buildings completed. A man of genial disposition, his pleas- ing personality tends to disarm criti- cigm. Whether by reason of his long apprenticeship in partisan committee politics or because of a failure to ap- ply himself seriously to a study of the full measure of the duties and possibili- ties of his office, he has thus far failed to grasp th serious importance of the larger problems of municipal govern- ment. WILLIAM C. CONNETT, Democrat, 4435 Forest Park boulevard, 38 years old; lawyer: educated in the public schools of Buchanan County, Mo., Man- ual Training School and Washington University, in St. Louis, and the Uni- versity of Virginia. Admitted to the bar in 1902, and has practiced law in St. Louls ever since, excepting the years 1907-09. Maybr Rolla Wells appointed him his secretary in 1907 and during the remainder of Mr. Wells’ term of office he enjoyed the entire confidence of the Mayor and secured the full benefit of a thorough training under a skilled executive of rare ability. While sec- retary to the Mayor he discharged many important duties for the Mayor. He investigated charges of corruption and secured the evidence which result- ed in the finding by the Grand Jury of ‘an indictment on the charge of bribery against a member of the Municipal As- > sembly. Although not widely known politi- cally, Mr. Connett enjoys among a wide circle of friends and acquaintances a reputation for executive ability, inde- pendence of judgment, and high moral courage. These qualities he has shown so plainly and so satisfactorily that he has for many years been called upon repeatedly to discharge the difficult duties of referee in important inter- state and intercollegiate football matches of national interest, where a quick and accurate grasp of the facts, independence of decision, and absolute fairness under trying conditions are es- sential. His most recent public achieve- ment has been the reorganization of the Missouri Athletic Club and the con- struction of its new building after the fire, a discouraging task which he un- dertook and carried forward to com- pletion with marked ability. In the belief that Mr. Connett pos- sesses the character and the ability to discharge the duties of the office of Mayor free from partisan political bias and that he will endeavor to carry out the provisions of the New Charter, we recommend his election.

WASHINGTON, March 29.—Officials of the State Department today con- firmed reports that American relief workers withdrawn from Belgium and northern France will be taken to Ger- many and submtted to a short news quarantine,“ to prevent mlitary informa- tion fro mgetting out. This proceedure was agreed upon a long time ago, when ‘t seemed probable that the Americans would have to leave. Officials here, therefore, regard it as entirely correct. Seven members of the commission who have been working at the French front will go to Baden Baden, Germany, for two weeks under full freedom of move- ment. The % or so workers in Bel- gium will assemble for a similar period at any city agreed upon by them.

SALINA, Kan., March 29.—Young men of military age in Salina were the sub- ject of calls today from military look- ing misses, clad in olive drab skirts, leggings and military hats, who asked them pointedly why they had not en- listed in one of the four companies of the national guard with headquarters in this city.

DISCOURAGED ENLISTMENT Wrote of Horrors of War to Sub- ordinate Who Asked if Place Would Be Held for Him. W. S. McChesney, president of the Terminal Railroad Association, called to his office this morning Charles A. Vinnedge, secretary and auditor of the Wiggins Ferry Co., subsidiary company of the Terminal Association, and ques- tioned him about a letter sent by him to J. J. Long, cashier of the Wiggins company, discouraging enlistment of employes. Vinnedge's letter, which was in answer to an inquiry from Long as to whether employes who enlisted would get their positions back when the war is over, was as follows: “I have your note of the 22d inst. rela tive to men in your department enlist- ing for the war, and inquiring if assur- ance could be given them that their positions be given back to them after the war is over. Statistics show that of the enlisted men in the war now in progress, about 50 per cent never return; 25 per cent are incapacitated by wounds and sickness, from every filling their old positions with the same degree of ability, but I can assure you any of the men who do enlist and return, sadder and wiser, will be taken care of in positions suited to their ability.” President McChesney told a Post-Dis- patch reporter Vinnedge explained that the letter was written before the militia was called out, in response to the in- quiry of a subordinate, and was intend- ed merely as an expression of the per sonal views of Vinnedge, who is a paci- fist, and was not inteded to go any further. He expressed deep regret that the letter had been circulated in such a manner as to embarrass his superiors. President McChesney asked him if he was a German. He said his ancestors on both sides were Americans for gen- erations and that he could qualify as a son of the American Revolution, but he did not believe in war. Vinnedge is not a subordinate of President McChesney. “If one of my subordinates had writ- ten such a letter, contrary to the de- clared policy of the company,.“ he said to the Post-Dispatch reporter, “I would dismiss him. Vinnedge is a subordinate of the board of directors. The matter will automatically come before them. It is unfortunate that such a letter would be written at a time when we should all be supporting the Govern- ment and encouraging young men to re- spond to its call. When the soldiers were called to the border. we announced that employes who went would find their positions open for them when they returned. That announcement is still in effect.“ At the direction of President McChes- ney a notice was posted today declaring that the Vinnedge letter was without t uthority, that the sentiment it ex- pressed was in direct conflict with the policy of the Terminal companies, and that the companies stood ready to af- ford protection in employment to all employes responding to their country’s call.

Special oe to the N New York W LONDON. March 29.--While the New York World's proposa! that the United States should cive $1,000,000,000 to France excites the greatest interest here, lead- ing Government Ministers and former Ministers find it impossible to make any comment upon it because they consider it is a matter on which anything they might say is open to minsconstruction. The editorial suggestion of the Daily News that in event of war between Ger- many and the United States the in- terned German ships be used to send supplies to France, meets with strong approval, as one of the most practical and valuable ways America could show her sympathy with France. Proposal Arouses Keen Interest. The proposal has aroused the keen- est interest in banking quarters here, as has the suggestion in dispatches from America that facilities be afford- ed for raising a $1,000,000,000 British loan on easy terms. Henry Herbert Hambling, general manager of the London and Southwest- ern Bank, one of the most important financial institutions here, said: “Such a gift would be a fine and noble thing. It would be aiding not only France, but her allies; and if America enters the war she can be of inestimable service in giving financial support to the allies. “It is intimated that the near future might see an opportunity afforded in America for floating on reasonable terms an allied or British loan for $1,- 000,000,000. Even if we did not desire to take advantage of such an opportunity, it would be of greatest importance that we could raise money there if we want- ed to “Big Help to France.” John Ferguson, general manager of the National Bank of Scotland, and one of the best-known London banking au- thorities, referring to the proposed gift to France, said: “America with her great wealth cculd easily do it. The sympathy and attachment for France shown in the suggestion are fully un- derstood here. It would be a big as- sistance to France.“ Referring to the reports that facilities would be offered for raising a British or allied loan, he said: In the Brit- ish financial world it is fully realized what an incalculable assistance it would be to the allies to have America ranged on their side with all her great wealth. If the United States gave its sanction to a loan to the British or the allies on the strength of the British or allies’ credit it would be an untold help. It could be at a good reasonable rate and would stabilize the rate of exchange and go far toward aiding all the bus“ ness relationships between Britain and America, which are sure to come when the war ends.“ Many Americans here strongly favor the gift to France and eagerly await an opportunity to contribute to it. 2314 SHIPS.

Can Only Ald Ally. The granting of sums of money to an ally in war is a very ancient practice in Europe. It was England's long purse and her lavish financial assistance to Austria, Prussia and Russia that finally conquered Napoleon. These sums were first advanced usually as loans, but as others were needed the preceding ones were canceled and became outright gifts. It is fundamental with us that pub- lic moneys can be used and public debts can be contracted only for public or national purposes. Public gifts in money to discharge a national debt of grati- tude may be considered as within this spirit. It frequently has been thought a proper exerciso of congressional pow- er to make substantial appropriations for humanitarian purposes outside the United States, Under the constitutional duty of Con- gress “to provide for the common de- fense and public welfare of the United States,“ there could be no doubt of the authority of Congress to assist an actual ally by a loan or gift, to be applied for purposes of mutual defense. It could not be done so long as we re- mained a neutral without violating the obligations of that status. Ibsen’s Friday Bar«ain.

(Copyright, 1917, by Press Pub. Co.) BERLIN, March 2.—While there is no doubt here that Congress will declare a state of war to exist, there has been considerable modification in the last few days of the idea, amounting al- most to a paranoical delusion, that President Wilson wants war, and that formal declaration of war is sure to come shortly. This is giving way to gome extent to a feeling that perhaps after all President Wilson may be try- ing to avoid declaring war and that, on the whole, the will to war may be lack- ing in America. The reported official explanation by Washington of the recall of Brand Whitlock and the Americans in Bel- gium connected with relief work there has been regarded here as another in- to war with Germany. This view is e- pressed by the Berlin Gazette as fol- lows: It has been repeatedly emphasized on the part of Germany that Minister Whitlock has been shown all possible friendly consideration by the govern- mental authorities in question. He was told that the German Government would aid in the continuance of his humani- tarlan work. It was, however, natural that after the break he could no longer remain in Belgium as a diplomatic rep- resentative. “So far as the torpedoing of Belgian relief ships is concerned, it has been ve- peatedly emphasized on our part that these sinkings took place only in the barred zone, in which exception can be made in favor of no ships whatever. There is a special channel, free from danger, for the voyage to Rotterdam, which is open to American relief ships just as to neutral shipping. “If correctly reported, the State De- partment’s statement is merely a pre- text, and its generalized, untenable ex- pressions afford only further proof of the warlike intentions of the United States.“ The Tages Zeitung attacks the Amerl- can commissioners, declaring they were steadily working in England's interests and furnish a regular channel for ths transmission of military news from Bel- gium. paper retorts to American criticism of the interruption of Whit- lock’s communications by referring to the alleged restrictions placen on Count ‘von Bernstorff'’s use of the wireless by the American Government.

Hundreds of New 1 Easter Waists ON UNIVERSAL TRAINING SYSTEM St. Louis Citizens in Various Walks of Life Give Views on Proposal. sents a second installment of the views of the average St. Louis citizen on universal military training. Reporters saw men and women in widely varying walks of life to get their opinions, presented herewitn: Arthur E. Bostwick, Public Librarian: In general it is a good thing, but the present system is medieval in that the men are taught how to walk and how to form columns of fours and other things that are useless in modern warfare. They should be instructed in the art of throwing bombs and in modern war- fare. Dr. JohnA. Pringle, Superintendent City Hospital: I favor universal training for all our young men; I believe in it so strongly that I would give a year of my time in order that I might be of use to my country in case of war. Dr. B. W. Klippel, resident physi- clan at City Hospital: Universal train- ing is what this country needs and whether we are ever in danger of hav- ing war or not I am ready to give at least a year of my time doing my share wf helping put this country on a modern basis—by that I mean a basis that makes it respected by all other coun- tries. A customer in a Pine street cafeteria: I believe in even more training than is proposed. I would like to see the Swiss system adopted as nearly as it can be made to fit our conditions. Our young men need to be taught obedience. John W. Kearney, publicity agent, Mis- sourl Pacific Railroad: I’m strong for universal military service. Sorry we didn’t have it when I was a boy. Nat Goldstein, Circuit Clerk: I favor universal military training for all who have none dependent upon them. Arthur Kapp, electrician, 4562 Morgan street: I am for military training for young men because I believe anything that would tend to develop their bodies and make strong men of them should be encouraged. Retired Wholesale Grocer: Military training ought to be brought about in this country, so that we may be able to protect ourselves when necessary. I favor a law to compel military, training for young men. A printer, 50 years old: Yes, sir; I'm for military training for the other fel- low, always. Compulsory military train- ing here would be a good thing. My ex- perience with such training recently is through my acquaintance with several young men who went to the border. All said they had a good time and declared nothing in thelr lives did them as much good. I think, however, six months is not enough time to allow to such train- ing. Journeyman carpenter of Maplewood: I see no disadvantage to a young man in compulsory military training and I’m for it. I know several men who re- turned from the border, and I tell you the training and discipline they experi- enced there has made better boys of them. I think the experience would improve the moral and physical oapdi- tion of a great majority of our young men. T HE Post-Dispatch today pre- would be no need of universal training. | tary training because it would benefit] be an excellent thing for the young men Miss Josephine Desmond, telephone operator: A splendid idea. Men need training to protect their country. William L. Reid, Post Office Inspector: A trained man is better fitted for busi- ness as well as social life. boys of the nation respect authority.

White, Assistant United States District Attorney: Universal! serv- ice is the surest guarantee to peace, for without it there can be no adequate preparedness, and hence no sufficient guarantee of peace. John I. Martin, United States Revenue Agent: The sooner universal training 1s a law the sooner we will have more first-class citizens. Ideut. E. D. Langworthy, United States Navy: Every man owes his Gov- ernment some time of his life, because that Government gives him life, liberty and happiness. The people would take an interest in the country and turn from their craze for money. Maj. G. W. Goods, United States Army: Universal training is the only solution of the vital problems in the future, that we will have to face. It will serve not only as an effective meas- ure of preparedness, but as an educa- tion and training which will have great value to the young men of this country. Pdward J. Brennan: Compulsory serv- ice is a necessity. Vance J. Higgs, Assistant United States District Attorney: It is the only solution for the safety of this country. Harry A.

Smith, conductor, M., K. & T.: I advise all young men to ob- tain military training because I re- alize what a benefit my training has been to me that I received in 1864, in Company C. 142 Ohio Regiment, in the Civil War. C. N. Smith, traveling passenger agent, Southern Railroad: The young men of the country should be trained in order that we should be properly protected in the event of war. Frank J. Brown, clerk of the Court of Criminal Correction: I’m not in favor of ‘universal military training. I don’t think it is necessary for us to take our boys from the school room and their work for military service. William J. Devine, pipe fitter, 444 Vista avenue: I’m not in favor of uni- versa] military training. It would al- ways keep the country in an unroar. Theopulis Willgus, baggage sorter, Union Station: I think it is a good thing for the country to have trained soldiers. I'm for it. F. E.

Purcell, Chief clerk Terminal Hotel: We don’t want war, but we should be prepared to defend ourselves, therefore I’m in favor of it. John A. Nobis, clerk Terminal Hotel: I'm in favor of it because now only the rich can afford to give their boys the fine physical ard mental training ob- tained m a military school, if we had universal service the poor boy would get the same training at the Govern- ment’s expense. Thomas Edwards, detective Terminal Railroad: I favor it because it would protect the country and make manly men of the boys of the nation. Michael Stojanovic, telegraph operator Union Station: I favor it because tha country must be protected. Employe City Harbor and Wharf De- partment: I believe this country should be prepared at all times. We have a great country and it should not wait to gather a few people to train at a time when it should be ready to fight. I be- lieve like Roosevelt, that the fellow who is prepared is best off; he’s able to get his lick in first. I'm for military train- Joseph P. Whyte, real estate dealer, former Harbor and Wharf Commis- sioner of St. Louis: I like the idea of military training for the youth of this country.

By ARNO DOSCH-FLEUROT A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and New York World. PETHOGRAD, March . via London, March 2.—‘‘If the Germans think they are going to get peace easier from the new Russia than form the old, let me tell them they can get peace in one way —immediate peace—by doing what we did and getting rid of their Emperor and of all idea of imperial conquest, said Nicholas Sokoloff, spokesman of tne Executive Committee of the Council of Workmen’s delegates, in an interview with the Post-Dispatch correspondent. “We Socialists believe in peace, but we are not going to ve the only Social ists to make peace The German So- clalists must cease being led by the nose before we mention peace, least of all separate peace. If the German 89 cialists only knew how easy it is—one kick of the soldier’s boot and the arro- gant throne disappears in dust.“ The interview made clear that the workmen and the soldiers are solidly ba- hind the present ministry as long as it follows the program and adheres to the democratic declarations publicly adopt- ed; that they want the national azsem- bly soon and do not want to wait for the end of the war; that they have no intention of trying to inaugurate a So- clalist republic at the convention, but will be content with a democracy in the American and French sense; that they will have no peace while the German empire stands unconquered; and thar their terms of peace follow the ideal of no forcible annexations,\expressed 1 President Wilson's address to the Sen- ate, . ; New Government Criticised. Sokoloff’s attitude, however, was not lacking in criticisms of the provisiona’ Government. He spent most of an hour discussing earnestly the provisional Goy- ernment’s failure to stick to the exact letter of their agreement with the Coun- cil of Workmen. When the Council of Workmen’s Dei- egates and tha Duma began working to- gether during the revolution,“ he said, it was early agreed to leave the choice of Ministers to the Duma, provided our program was followed. They chose among Ministers three of our men and adopted all our suggestions and pro- gram except the demand for the Em- peror’s immediate, unconditiona! abdica- tion. They also promised to keep the Coun- cll of Workmen informed in advance of all important decisions of the Govern- ment. The question of the Emperor, however, has been a constant source of irritation ever since. “First, when Gutchkoff and Shulgin went to the Emperor, they did not in- sist on his complete abdication, but per- mitted acting in favor of Michael, al- though he cleared up that difficulty by resigning ad interim. Of this the Coun- cil of Workmen was not informed ac- cording to agreement. “Second, the Government was prepar- ing to send the Emperor out of the country without informing the Council. This was prevented. “The third point ot dissension arose from the oath presented to the army to swear a new allegiance, which was sent out without consulting us. “All three were important matters, of which the Government did not officially inform us. The first situations wera saved by events and the third by the expedient of Kerensky, the Socialist Minister of Justice, who suggested that the Government swear allegiance to the program, thereby swearing the army to the program.“ The main point of the program and declaration of freedom issued in the first days of the revolution were the abolition of all national and religious limitations, equality of all soldiers be- fore the law and improvéd working con- ditions, Obviously the attitude of the workmen ig touchy. “We want to keep on good working terms with the Government,” Sokoloff went on, “but at the same time the Government must live up to the exact letter of its agreement to advise us of its moves. So far the program has been realized and if it continues to be, all will go well. If we fail to keep in ac- cord, if there is a conflict, tnere is no telling the future—perhaps counter-rey- olutions will arise.“ “When does the Council of Workmen Want the national assembly held?“ he Was asked. “Without delay.“ Sokoloff answered. “We don't want to wait until the end of the war. The only difficult question is that of the armies’ voting, and we believe we have an expedient for ob- taining army delegates according to their representation. We are good at developing expedients. f : i want to profit by our success to get peace, let them follow our example and kick out their Emperor.” * Oath LONDON, March 29.—Telegraphing from Petrograd under date of Wednes- day, Reuter’s correspondent says: “In the Senate today the “J'nisters took the following oath of office: In my capacity as a member of the provisional Government, created by the will of the people, and at the instance of the Duma, I promise and swear be- fore Almighty God and my conscienc3 erty and fcr a civil equality and in all THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 29; 1917. — 8 measures entrusted to me in suppress- ing any attempts, direct or ‘direct, toward the restoration of the old regime. “I swear to apply all my intelligence and strength completely to fulfill the obligations assumed by the provisional Government before the eyes of the peo- ple. I swear to take all measures of the convocation of a constituent assem- bly at the shortest time on the basis of universal, direct, equal, secret suf- frage; to transfer to the hands of the assembly all the authority provisionally exercised by me in conjunction with the other members of the Government expressed by that assembly, concerning the form of Government and «he funda- mental laws of the Russian state. May God help me in the fulfillment of this oath.’ * $6-DETROIT OR TOLEDO-$6 And return, Wabash, March 90 and 31. New Head of World’s Court League. NEW YORK, March 2.—Charles Lath- rop Pack, president of the American Forestry Association, has been elected president of the World's Court League, succeeding John c<iays Hammond, re- signed. March 2.—Various ex- planations of the present visit of the Austrian Emperor to Emperor William are offered. The Daily Mail says it learns from Vienna, by way of Swit- zerland, that the conference between the Emperors is to decide whether the Aus- tro-German policy toward the United States shall be modified so as to avoid war or whether present submarine meth- ods, ‘which ard ceftain te provoke war with the United States shall be main- tained. This dispatch is the first intimation of a new meeting between Emperor Wi- liam and Emperor Charies. A dispatch from Amsterdam March 16 said a Vien- na telegram reported the arrival in the Austrian capital that day of Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg, the German Chan- cellor, who visited Emperor Charlies, Foreign Minister Czernin and Premier Clam-Martinic.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 2.—The class of 183 midshipmen commissioned at the Naval Academy today, three months ahead of the time of their reg- ular graduation, were told by Secretary Daniels that the nation expected them to be ready “for the day that may come —how soon, who can tell?—when upoa your coolness and knowledge and lead- ership and ability to shoot straight may depend the fate of a decisive naval en- gagement. The Secretary spoke as the representa- tive of President Wilson, who had been asked to deliver the grauuation address, but had found it impossible to come be- cause of the international situation. “I bring you the greetings of your Commander in Chief, who sends you a message of confidence and bids you God- speed,“ said Daniels, His heart is with you today. He does not, however, feel warranted in making any address in the present condition of public affairs even to the graduates of this institution, to whom he would love to unburden him- self. Navy Is Chief Defense. “You are to receive your commissions in a day when nearly all the world is in the vortex of war and no people gan feel that they may not be drawn Mmto it. Your own country faces a crisis. In this emergency, the President, who has declared his belief that ‘the American navy ought to be incomparably the most adequate navy in the world,’ in the ex- ercise of a discretion vested in him, will commission you three months ahead of the usual period. That fact alone em- phasizes the significance of your early graduation. Whatever, in addition to steps al- ready taken by placing armed naval guards on merchant ships, this country may be called upon to do, its chief and first reliance will be upon the navy. Fortunately, the country has officers and men not surpassed in any naval service. To their number we are ad- ding today 183 officers from the naval academy and we are drawing to its en- listed strength an additional 5,000 from the alert and resolute youth of the country who, added to the present per- sonnel, will give us the finest body of enlisted men any officers were evér privileged to instruct and lead. Follow Some Naval Hero. Jou come into a service with a glo- rious record, resplendent with rsoble traditions. You enter at a time when grave responsibilities fall without days of waiting upon your young shoulders. Today, as not before in a generation. the eyes of your countrymen are turned in pride, as well as in confidence, to- ward the newly commissioned ensigns.“ The Secretary said his advice to every young officer would be “get yourself a naval hero“ for emulation during the years of service ahead. He declared it was by continually asking himself ‘‘what would Farragut do? that Admiral Dew- ey himself became the American naval hero who should be emulated before al] others. The history of Admiral Dewey. Dan- fels continued, “furnishes one of the many examples that it is only the man who makes ready in the days of calm who is fully ready in the days of storm A cal! to duty in the navy is ever quick and imperative. Dewey—thanks to having selected Farragut as his idea! and making ready every day of his career—was collected and capable and cool on the morning he sailed into Ma- nila Bay. He recalled Farragut's ‘damn the torpedo, go ahead.’ New Spirit of the Navy. “Admiral Dewey had duties at Manila as important, and in some respects more delicate and difficult, after the battle, as in that horu vader fire. He was fa- millar with the law, and never by word or action usurped the function of the civil government, which must always be supreme in international matters as well as in domestic rule. No people need ever fear military usurpation when administered by a naval officer like Dewey, zealous for government by law, with the sword acting only at the di- rection of t civilian ruler. There has come, I am glad to say to you, a new understanding of the spirit of the navy by the people, as evidenced by the generous and wise provision by the last Congress for its enlargement and strengthening. And likewise in the navy there has come an appreciation of the spirit of the people as expressed through their representatives in Con- greas.”’ Calling attention to the ever-increas- ing responsibilities of naval officers, the Secretary quoted Dewey as saying the men now graduated at Annapolis know 900 times as much as young officers knew in my day." ‘Will the people's faith in the navy as ite protector be justified?" the Secre- tary continued. “Will they look to ft as the strong right arm of Government without thought that a powerful navy endangers the supremacy of civilian authority”? The answer to that question is for you and your fellow officers, and those who come after you. T have tested the quality of the men of the navy of today. I think 1 Know thelr loyalty to Ie country and to its traditions, and | their whole-hearted devotion to the ideals of their profession. We live in tense times. Great issues stir the depts of men. Small questions are shriveled. Questions big with the fate not alone of nations, but the world, may be decided by you. I do not ven- ture to prophecy what lies before you. But whether your early service is in peace, or whether you are called to an early baptism of fire, there will be al- ways the incentive to high courage and to daring if in every emergency you ask yourself the question, What would Dewey do??

To the HEditer of the Post-Dispatch. There is another point in this discussion of patriotism that I have not seen brought out. Mayor Kiel, in proof of his loyalty, calls to wit- ness the fact that his father was a Civil War vet- eran. Using the Mayor's position merely as an example and without casting the least doubt on hie sincerity, I wish to say that at this crisis of affairs there is just one unerring test to apply to a man's Americanism. ; Let him answer these questions: Do you con- demn the conduct of the war by the German Gov- ernment as an inhuman and infamous violation of the fundamental laws of Christian civilization? Do you regard with abhorrence the violation of Belgium, the disregard of treaties, the deporta- tion and enslavement of men and women, the van- daliem which spares no monument, however pre- cious to all mankind, the murder of women and ehildrén by Zeppelin bombs, the sinking of the Lusttania, and the open avowal of piratical sub- marine warfare with its sacrifice of American life? This is a catechism whose answers will be de- cisive of any man’s position. It is a countersign whose call never fails to detect the lukewarm and disloyal. It is quite possible that a citizen of German descent should ring false to this test, even though hie father were a veteran of 1860. That was one lorue, the present one is quite another. Never before has it been demanded of him to condemn the fatheriand, still perhaps the home of friends and relatives. It is also quite possible and prob- able that this test would reveal the spurious claims to patriotism of numerous men of other than German descent, including some old-line Amertoans. L. R. JOHNSON. — — Bridie Path in Forest Park. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. . Some years ago the city put in a bridle path for horseback riders in Forest Park, Since then they are running in a new road on the south side, opposite Oakland avenue, and have taken the bridle path away near Tamm avenue. St. Louis has many tennis courts, two golf grounds and tin ie must take away the bridle path on the south side. Must the automobilists have every- thing? Why not the city simply give them Forest Park? A RIDER. Seconds the Motion. To the Hdaitor of the Post-Dispatch: I want to “second” the suggestion of “Bored,” in a recent edition of your valuable paper, as re- garde the word “Kiddie.” It is absolutely ridicu- lous the way the word is used, and applied to children. Why not use the word “sheepte,” “goaty,” “doggie,” “monkey,” as well? None could be misapplied, as all are fully as sensible as “kiddie.” Let us all “cut it out” of our language as applied to our beloved little ones. W. E. KLINE. Idked the Cartoon. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. A K. Leute friend of mine sent me your car- toon, “A Relic of the Past.” It is splendid. I sincerely hope the law will not meet with ‘the same fate as did ours. This present seasion of our General Assembly repealed our bill passed two years ago. In spite of the fact that we had no increase in lynchings and a decrease in homi- cides during the two years capital punishment was abolished in our State. I write you this to spur you to occasionally get up something that will show the people the awfulness of the crime of judicial murder. DUKE G. BOWERS, The time has come in this country when every man and every political party will have to show e colors,” without any its“ or “buts.” parties will te either for us or against us. World politics has now superceded local politics. country every man and every officeholder can compelled to do his duty—whether he wants te or not, In view of the coming mayoralty elec- tien in this city, it now becomes absolutely neces- | in connection with our national crisis that through the public press, so that the people and voters of this city may know and understand specifically how each stands in relation to his loy- alty to our nation, to our American flag, to the President, the Federal Constitution and our free, democratic institutions in pursuance thereof. From ) London Opinion. THE MAYORALTY CAMPAIGN. The Post-Dispatch has supported and praised Mayor Kiel for many things he has done during his term of office. On many questions concerning the public welfare he has been open-minded and progressive and has tried to serve the public in- terest. The public institutions are in the main well managed and are free from scandals. He has substantial accomplishments to his credit and his experience and good intentions would be of value in a second term. We have criticised the Mayor’s administration for things undone and half done. We have con- demned his failure to enforce the merit system and to carry out in full the measures of the char- ter providing for economy and efficiency in the city’s business. The most important thing for St. Louis is the enforcement in both the spirit and the letter of four progressive charter, so that the people may realize the full benefit of ita excellent provisions. In this respect Mayor Kiel has been weak. This is the strongest indictment that has been brought against the Mayor. It is the point upon which the Municipal Voters’ League refused to indorse him. The weakness of the Mayor has been his sub- serviency to his party machine. This has led him to fail in the appointment of the best men in po- | sitions of trust and responsibility. It has induced him to pack the city hall With spoils appointees and thus waste the city’s money. The government has been conducted too much in the interest of machine politics and for the purpose of catching votes. It has affected public works and the proper care of the city’s interests. The failure of the Mayor to resist the political spoilsmen was the cause of the failure of the merit and efficiency system and the cause of the waste- fulness of public funds charged by Comptroller Player, who has been the only safeguard against extravagance. St. Louisans are not averse to spending money for public improvements and public service, but they want every doliar to count for the public benefit. ¢ The best point in Mr. Connett's campaign is his unqualified pledge to enforce all the charter pro- visions, to appoint the best available men to do the city’s work and to see that the work is done efficiently and economically. This*is a large pledge and its fulfillment would mean first-class goverument for 8t. Louis. The Post-Dispatch serves no party in politics. We urge voters to lay aside all party considera- tions in municipal elections. The local Republican platform, upon which Mayor Kiel, in answer to all questions, says he stands, nas a fatal flaw. It omits any reference to the national crisis with Germany confronting the American people. It neither declares the pafty’s approval of the President’s stand nor de- clares its loyal support of the Government in de- fense of American rights against ruthless and law- less German attacks. Neither the Mayor nor his party organization has corrected the omission nor said a word in favor of the defense of American rights, American citizens and American ships. In view of the Mayor’s appointment to office of at least one violent pro-German propagandist; in view of the open statement of Chairman Schmoll that Mayor Kiel will have the solid sup- port of all citizens of German origin because of his German name; in view of the unquestionably considerable element of the population which op- poses any action in defense of America against German aggression, this omission cannot be over- looked. : The issue of American defense against German attacks and conspiracies is vital. It affects every state, every city, every hamlet, every citizen. It is the paramount American issue. St. Louis cannot afford—the loyal German- American element in St. Louis, the Republican party of St. Louis cannot afford—to elect to of- fice men whose loyalty on this issue is doubtful or men who compromise with disloyal elements. = we A MODEL AMERICAN LETTER. Mr. J. D. Goldman, president of the Lesser- Goldman Cotton Co., has written a model letter to the employes of his company on the subject of service to the United States in the crisis confront- ing the Government. Mr. Goldman ia a natural- ized citizen. He is a man of advanced age and is disabled from actual work, but his letter breathes so fine a spirit of Americanism and such a patri- otic view of duty of Americans to their country that we reprint it as an example and an insptra- tion to others: This is a time, in our Nation's life, of great uncertainty, and even national peril. The of- ficers of this company recognizing and appre- clating to the fullest extent the tremendous advantages, good and happiness that this country has brought to us, and to all its citi- gens, both native born and naturalized, feel that we should dg our part in meeting the great issue before us. No matter how great t sac- rifice, none of us can repay the debt owing to our great country. The President may soon call you to hig aid in protecting our Nation’s honor and in maintaining for ourselves and for future generations the liberty and freedom for which the United States has always stood. There should be no wevering or hes tation. The contest is vital, not alone for the welfare of America but for the entire world. Some of you cannot respond to the call for enlistment, but all who are qualified are urged to recognize their sacred obligations and vol unteer for service. We realize that there ara a great many men in the employ of the Lesser- voldman Cotton Co. who, in the ordinary course of events, would offer their services to the army or navy, were it not for the fact that those dependent upon them would suffer in a financial way during their absence. To overcome this hindrance we propose the fol- lowing plan: This company will hold open for each of its employes who enlist in the army or navy, the position he now occupies, or one bearing the same salary as now paid. And further, if any employe of this company has anyone depend- ent upon him support, the -Goldman Co Co, will such ew — fete tn the — or vy of the nited Beason one-half of his preseht salary during the term of service incident to the impending trouble. This offer ig made to our employes so that they may be free to serve the nation tn the present crisis, and we trust that there Will be no hesitation on their part in coming forward and doing their duty. ‘Believing as we do in preparedness, we also wish to encourage those employes who cannot at prevent enlist for regular service, to enter summer military camps, similar to that oper- ated at Piatteburg last year, and to this end MY MoOtoriat (having killed the lady's pet „ Madame, I will replace the animal. E. ¢ Biz, you flatter yourself. we will de pleased to grant vacations to an of our employes during the coming summer for the term required in any of the established camps, and will also pay the expenses which any such employe may have to incur in §0- ing to and from any such camps. = = ~~ ANOTHER ‘‘SORAP OF PAPEBR.’’ One by one all of the civilized states of the world are coming to know the little dependence that can be placed upon a solemn, written en- gagement of the military autocracy in control of Germany. As fast as it is to the materia! interest of Germany to violate her treaty engagements, she continues to apply her “scrap of paper” doc- trine. Secretary Lansing has just brought a fresh in- dictment against her in reply to the request for the reaffirmation of the Prussian treaty of 1828. “This Government is seriously considering,” says the note handed the Swiss Minister, “whether or not the treaty of 1828, and the revised articles of the treaties of 1785 and 1799 have not been, in effect, abrogated by the German Government’s flagrant violations of their provisions, for it would be manifestly unjust and inequitable to require one party to an agreement to observe its stipula- tions and to permit the other party to disregard them.” The rightfulness of abrogation in such circum- stances is incontestible. it was said by Justice Tredell in the case of Ware vs. Hylton, as early as 1796: It is a part of the law of nations that if a treaty be violated by one party, it is at the option of the other party, if innocent, to de- clare, in consequence of the breach, that the treaty is void. It is the office of the Senate to authorize the President to declare a treaty abrogated. While the Prussian treaty is perhaps the most remark- able one ever negotiated by. any state in the lib- erality of its provision with respect to war, it has been rendered utterly worthless by Germany’s re- fusal to be bound. Its distinguishing provisions are those designed to establish the principle of complete immunity of private property from capture in naval warfare, contraband excepted, for which the United States has labored in vain to establish universally for 130 years. | 88 THE ALDERMANIO CANDIDATES. The merits of the aldermanic tickets should have the studious attention of voters Tuesday. Practically every place of importance under the city government except one is now filled by a Republican. This is an extraordinary condition in an American city, even the Board of Aldermen being solidly Republican. How this denial of representation to practically all city groups and parties aside from the Repub- lican organization has centered attention on the possibilities of machine building is abundantly attested by the late political history of the city. The daring attempt to defeat the intent of the charter’s efficiency system and even make the functions of that system contribute to the power of the machine was not resisted by a single pro- testing voice in the municipal legislature. To what extremes will the perfection of a spoils- man’s machine not go, if the present monstrous excess in representation for a single political group is continued during another four years? The Democratic ticket contains some excellent alder- manic material. It also happens that the Repub- lican ticket proposes the continuance of some pres- ent Aldermen of proved unworthiness and unfit- ness. The evils of a solid control by one party should be mitigated by the choice of at least the best of the 14 Democratic candidates. — SS SS Oe ä BEMUSED ELECTIONEERING. This is the season of the year when folk do funny things and queer. An East Side man who would be Squire is writing verses by the quire, in hope no voter can refuse to vote a judgeship to his muse. He tunes his lyre and thrums the strings and here’s.the sort of song he sings: Justice to all, malice to none, Is the platform on which I run; And vote you aye or vote. you no, Read this ere to the polls you go. It's not an easy thing to see how tenant suits and minstrelsy, how writs and summonses et al with Clio’s gentle graces pal—unless it be that that refined concord which fits the legal mind dis- eriminations nice to draw between conflicting points of law is like the harmony which sways the bard when singing roundelays. But if the two together gee the logic of the thing must be that by the excellence of one the other’s measure must be run. If skill at writing verse will test one’s fitness for a judgeship best, conversely if the verse is punk his other claims are likewise bunk. So, while we wigh the candidate may meet no cruel adverse fate, when all his horde of critics rolls its combined judgment to the polls, it’s scarcely not amiss to hint that when one rushes into print to gather ballots up in scads the best results are found in ads. Some verse will lull and soothe and charm, while other verse just makes one warm—and what a chance twould be to gloat and muss a bard up with one’s vote! = = % i i MR. KIEL AND MR. HUGHES. An ominous comparison was suggested by Con- gressman L. C. Dyer ata Republican campaign meeting. “You remember last fall,“ he remarked, “when we all said Hughes was going to be elected. We bet our money on him and lost it.” Mr. Dyer might have extended the parallel far- ther. Mr. Hughes, a man of many excellent quali- ties, like Mr. Kiel, entered on his campaign with an obvious attempt to unite many incongruous elements in support of his candidacy. His defini- tions were ambiguous, He gave ground for the sus- picion that he was attempting a straddle on the great issue involving American self-respect and American rights. His utterances became less dis- appointing just before election, but it was then too late. About all he succeeded in doing was to alienate certain voters of alien sympathies with- out strengthening himself among those dissatis- fied from the start with his featuring of minor is- sues and noncommittal platitudes on the things that count. The American people decided that in these times of stress it could take no chances with a man like Hughes. Mr. Dyer warned the Kiel supporters against the danger of overconfidence. The serious aspect of the times and the thoughtful temper of the voters make the warning pertinent in view of the failure of local Republicans again to speak out on the war issut — 4 a A 1 Pt — a 2 N Pas: wr > 1 * — * — „ e,: ss are’.

Paul Cravath, an American, has written a little book on ‘‘Great Britain’s Part.’’ He has recently been over on the firing line in France with the Brit- ish. One morning an officer took him over to the aviation headquarters. A messenger came with an order to send a photographer over some new German defenses. The aviator who got the assignment growled a bit. It was no morning to take pictures— there was too much fog—it couldn't be done—and all that. Nevertheless, there was no getting out of it. Get er out, Bill!’’ cried the aviator to his mechani- cian. The officer who was piloting Cravath about said: Tou see they grumble a bit now and then. It’s no fun—taking orders.“ A few minutes later Cravath heard a cheer along the line, and saw the men looking up. High in the air—seeming as small as a bird—was an aeroplane headed for the German lines. The air had cleared. It was ideal for photog- raphy. ‘‘There goes our friend, the photographer,’’ said the officer with Cravath. He laughed softly. You can’t exactly tickle a Briton, but you can amuse him. H Prudence his creed, success he wooed by thrift; He anchored fast and watched the others drift; For recreation tilled hie garden plot. Loved his adopted land, yet one green spot Liwed tn his heart and often would wplift His drooping eptrit; memory had the gift Of harking back for all he was a patriot. Time passed, when suddenly in lurid flame The whole world burst, he saw in blank despair The conflagration and his father's foes. He tonged to vindicate the family name Until on his own windows shone the glare, Then for hia lag the Stara and Stripes he chose. HARRY G. JANUARY. THE IMMIGRANT.

HERE is a movement on foot among manufacturers of fabrics to en- hanoe the value and,the possibil- ities of both cotton and silk—each of which now fills a restricted field—by combining these two materials. To this end the two great industries are already co-operating to the extent that design- ers in both fabrics are consulting with each other before bringing out new patterns. “For so many years women of high- ly cultivated tastes have grown to look upon cotton as unfit for beautiful garments, that they do not know what artistic fabrics are being woven by the | cotton manufacturers,” said the rep- resentative of a large St. Louis house. “Today cottons mean much more than Finghams and calicoes. Weaves of extraordinary softness, which permft of the most delicate drapery, are being turned out. “Furthermore, aressmakers and makers of garments have not hitherto interested themselves in oottons. They have noted these fabrics casually, have passed them by, and have taken to silk or wool when it was desired to bring out a creation in which the d signer’s art and the art of the dress. maker were combined. Cotton has seldom been used for such garments. In fact, it has not lent itself to such creations in the past, but ft has been developed to such high quality that it may be made to do so now. “The cotton industry is large, much larger than silk, but those who know its limitations appreciate the fact that cotton needs the touch of the inde- finably artistic, which silk alone seems to give, to emphasize its best qualities. The development certain to result through combination with the silk. in- dustry will lead to sem greater achievements and produce a fabric which will take higher rank than it has ever done before. “Cotton is monotonous when made up alone. Perhaps that is in some degree responsible for the fact that it has not been used by those who ap- preciate the artistic demands in made- up garments. As an example, a Co- penhagen blue cotton dress has merit but it Is monotonous, and the same eriticlam might apply with equal force to white volles. organdies and similar weaves. Yet few will question the real beauty of these goods. “The creative and artistic ability among American textile interests is now focussed on combining stk and cotton into garments that shall retain K a widow with 00 dear.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH BRITISH SOLDIERS SING WHEN SHIP HITS MINE Battalion ‘Stands Easy’ While Waiting for Transport to G Down, but Are Rescued. LONDON, March 2%.—The British transport Tyndareus, with a battalion of the Middlesex Regiment aboard, struck a mine on Feb. 9, off Cape Agul- has, the southernmost point of Africa. The men were paraded on deck, and, after roll call, began to sing while they waited for the ship to sink. The Tyn- dareus, however, was saved and the troops were transferred to two rescuing steamers. The Admiralty has issued the follow- ing statement on the incident: “The ame gg transport Tyndarius, with a battalioh of the Middlesex Regi- ment aboard, struck a mine at 8 in the evening of Feb. 9, off Cape Agulhas. A strong southwesterly gale was blowing, and, immediately after the explosion, the ship began to settle by the head, with propellers out of the water. “Assembly was sounded and the men. donned life belts and paraded in per- fect order. Roll was called and, upon order, ‘Stand easy,’ the whole battallon began to sing. “Army Tradition Upheld.” wo steamers, dispatched to the res- cue, arrived on the scene within halt an hour. During this trying time, Al- though faced by the probability of im- minent death, the troops maintained steadfast courage and discipline. Never was the tradition of the British army more worthily upheld than on this oc- casion. „Thanks to the devotion and perse- verance of the captain and the officers, the ship was saved. The troops were transferred to the two steamers and taken to Simonstown, where the Tyn- dareus subsequently returned under her own steam, with two holds flooded and another leaking. “The King has graciously expressed his deep.admiration for the conduct’ of all ranks in upholding the cherished tradition of the Birkenhead.”’ Where Birkenhead Was Lost. The torpedoing occurred near the spot where the troop ship Birkenhead was lost. The British steamer Tyndareus, ap- parently the one alluded to in the offi- cial statement, was an 11,000-ton vessel built last year at Greenock and owned by the Ocean Steamship Co., of Liver- pool. The Birkenhead, a British troop ship, struck a rock off Simon's bay, South Africa, on Feb. 26, 1852, while having on board 638 persons, largely troops on their way to the Cape. Of the crew and soldiers on board 454 were lost. The Birkenhead was an iron paddle wheel vessel. aie TY W RS. FRANK E.

FOR WORK IN WAR Lloyd George, Asquith and Other Former Opponents Come Out for Feminine Suffrage. LONDON, March 2.—After an inter- esting debate the House of Commons, by a majority of 279, has expressed ap- proval of legislation on tne lines of the Speaker’s conference recommenda- tions for franchise reform. The small minority against such a measure rep- resented not the actual opponents of re- form, but rather members who were de- sirous of postponing discussion of such a contentious character until after the war. The feature of the debate was the frank acceptance by ex-Premier As- quith and Andrew Bonar Law, Chancel- lor of the Exchequer, of women’s right to vote as a result of their war sacri- fices and services, and Premier Lloyd George’s whole-hearted acceptance of the conference recommendations, ex- cept Proportional representation. He was éven willing to go still further as to suffrage and make the qualifying pe- The murder charge against Walte- 10 BRITISH WOMEN Ferguson has becn dismissed in the Al- ton City Court for want of evidence that the defendant's blows caused the death of William Jones.

St. Louis e Agree With Those of Kansas Onildren’s Colds, They Say, Should Be Treated In our previous advertisements we have published letters from mothers in Kansas City, St. Jo., Joplin, Springfield and other Missouri cities. These ladies agree that in- ternal medicines injure the delicate stomachs of the little folks, and they recommend the use of the external treatment — VAPORUB. From a large number of letters from St. Louis women we will give just a few extracts. Mrs. K. Petranich, 2900 Park Av., writes—“Last winter when I had a bad cold I applied VAPORUB over my chest and throat covering with a warm flannel cloth I had almost in- stant relief, and believe it better than internal medicines for cold troubles.” Mrs. S. J. Wolf, 2341 Dodier St., says—"“I used Vick’s VAPORUB on my baby who had bronchitis. I ap- plied it over his chest following di- rections, and the next morning he preathed easier.” Mrs. M. Hickman 4020A Laclede Ave., says—‘“I have given Vick's VAPORUB a thorough trial for head- City and St. Jo. and burns and find it without an equal.” . Mrs. W. J. Himmelberg, 630 Lynch writes I recommend VAPO- St., RUB to all mothers with small chil- dren. I tried it on my children for colds, sore throat, tonsilitis burns, and it certainly gave us results.” Mra, J. T. Shepard, 4221A No. 9th Street, writes—“My husband had a very sore throat, as he has had sev- eral times before, and always hither- to he has had to have it lanced; but this time he used VAPORUB and was cured without any trouble.” Vick’s comes in salve form and when applied over the throat and chest the body heat releases the in- gtedi-nts in the form of vapors. All night long these vapors are inhaled with every breath through the air passages to the lungs, loosening the ‘and taking out the tightness and soreness. You will find it quick- r than internal medicines and it can be used freely with perfect safety on the smallest child. Three sizes, 26, 0% or $1.00. At all druggists.

W Me eee T $3.00 Cash position to woman’s suffrage, but their numbers were too small to carry great weight. The Nationalists announced that they would support Asquith’s mo- tion for adoption of the proposed fran- chise reforms, As a result of the debate, the Govern- ment, Bonar Law announced, will pro- ceed with legislation to give effect to the recommendations of the conference. The bill will embody all the recommen- dations except proportional representa- tion and women’s suffrage. These will be omitted, first, because the Govern- ment is still undecided on the question and second, because it is held that Par- liament must first of all express ac- ceptance of the principle of women's suffrage. To Be an Amendment. The present idea is to make the bill as little contentious as possible, so that the second reading may be easily se- cured; then, in committee, these two ex- cepted questions may be raised as amendments to the bill, thus giving the House an opportunity to record its opin- ion, It cannot be doubted that the views expressed by Asquith, Walter Hume Long and other prominent former op- ponents of woman’s suffrage, will in- fluence many other opposing members. It is still possible that the women | = may have to wait until after the war for the fullest recognition of their claims, but the vote for women in some shape is now certain. The new bill will not be introduced until some considerable time after Easter, as the budget and other urgent business claim priority. 55 80 For those who prefer to design their own hats we have hundreds of Untrimmed Hats at 8128 to = nis show- ing includes 2 every n e Spring shape of lisere, milan hemp, and other popular materials and every wanted Spring color. 50 $3.00 Monthly U uu i Aue it} i i} Luli ith 4 MAL Hu Aa H PD Mihi i IAHR NARA i | 10 THIS b. beautiful outfit consists of handsome Divan-Bed Dav- enport, Arm Chair, Arm Rocker, Library Table and Art Lam on- structed of selected oak in rich fumed finish and upholstered in ion Spanish leather—the Divan-Bed dan be converted into a full-size bed at night—the Library Table is extra large and massive—the Art Lamp is fitted for gas. or electricity—the entire outfit is an exceptional value af our price of $52.50—terms only $3.00 cash and 63.00 a month.

These heroes are capable of tre- mendous—indescribable—work. They see nothing of the battle at their post, deep beneath the surface, percelv- ing at the most a dull ringing of bells when a hostile grenade bursts outside the ship. That doesn’t disturb them. Calmly they work on. Jokes fly here and there—pipes are quietly smoked. They know only too well that German armor and German coal can resist even the strongest grenades. They also know, though, that it has come to the pofnt-when they must ex- ert themselves to the utmost. Not for a moment do they pause in their work. Only now and then a hand reaches out for the coffee pot. How are things going up above? Are they after the en- emy? Are they giving them what they deserve? A whistle down the speaking tube. The watch engineer sends the fol- lowing information from the starboard engine: „Have just heard from the bridge that a hostile man-of-war has been sunk by heavy grenade flre.“ Rattling, the coal falls into the glow- ing mass; the furnace doors bang. The rousing hurrah with which the news is received can be heard above all the other noises. With renewed strength, with beaming face, the stokers continue their work. Their duty began at 4 in the aft- érnoon. Not one of them knew the bat- tle was to take place when they went on watch. They know no fatigue. In streams the sweat rushes from their faces. Good-naturedly the coal-black arm is pased across the face. The next moment the work continues. In the bunkérs one must be doubly careful. Owing to the heavy vibration, the heaps of coal crush together, rolling down. Then very often a life is saved merely by means of a precarious posi- tion or a daring feat of climbing. Around 11 o’clock they are offered re- lief. Offended, they refuse it. They wish to contribute their utmost to the final result. They know what depends upon them. At the most, a sip of coffee, and the shoveling continues. In the en- gine rooms the poles turn unceasingly Faces and clothes are as if bathed in oil. The heat is terrific, especially at the lighting éngines, but also here no fatigue is known. No one thinks of re- lief. Work of the Gunners. Just as breathless, just as severe and ‘ heavy is the work of the gunners. Un- , ceasingly the munition elevators rattle up out of the munition chambers. One | heavy grenade after the other, one cartridge after the other is demanded— | pushed into the barrels. .The muscles | are taut, the teeth clenched, the arteries seem to burst. No one seems to worry about it. The tower commander and head gunner need to use no word of en- couragement. The day of revenge! The opportunity has come and must be taken full ad- vantage of. Shot after shot speeds from the bar- rels. Shrilly shriek the alarm bells; the guns roar forth, crashing shots. A day of glory for the artillery—heavy, middle and light. German guns and German barrels show today how expertly they are built—show what the German weap-~ amounts of ammunition are consumed. Those not busy below decks help the men. Not once during the whole battle do the electric and hydraulic machines fail. Men and material show today what “German” means. The picture which unfolds itself out- side is dreadful. The steel giants rush on enfolded in thick clouds of powder steam. The flashes which unceasingly blaze forth from the squadrons bring death and destruction. The day of judgment seems to have arrived. The air all around is full of noise and bellow- ing. A savage fight! With a thundering crash a mast falls here on the deck. A German grenade blows away the mighty funnel of an English man-of-war like a slip of paper. Seething hot steam hisses out of the shot-up pipes. In violent cramps fight the mortally-hit bodies. No mercy. The day of triumph, the hour of revenge. “Rats Out of Their Holes.” The rats are out of their holes. They hold what they seize with teeth of iron. The sea is whipped up as if unter the angry beating of a hurricane. The gren- ades spin, howling, into the sea; bellow- ing, the water rises. With brazen scythes the German death mows the English corn—and stalk falls after stalk. Greed - ily the abyss opens, gigantic fists pull the pride of Britannia down. Hardly one undamaged ship is left. Blazing, burn several of the opponents Holes gape in the sides. Almost riddled like a sieve, the armoured cruiser war- rior, which was on the outskirts of the English lines, withdraws from the fight Painfully, its nose dipping deeply ‘nto the water, the mortally wounded giant moves forward with difficulty. And without pause shot after shot strikes on its wounded broadside. Realising the danger, Admiral Beatty sends the Warspite to the warrior’s aid. But after a few minutes its rudder con- ductors are shot away. Steerless, it is unable to carry out the order to with- draw again. The same instant the dis- astrously murdering fire of our united “Konig” class are directed toward it. A treemndous white biast-cloud shoots up, embracing the ship. Fragments fly in the air. As the cloud lifts, there is nothing to be seen. The Warrior final. ly is tugged aside by an aeroplane mother-ship but sinks after a few sec- onds. It gets darker and darker,, and sight becomes more difficult. The sun has _ long since disappeared; gray fog covers the sea, thickened more and more by the rising powder-steam. Palely, like distant lightning, the shine of the gun- mouth fire trembles exaitingty. The thunder of the guns rumbles dully across the surface until suddenly the blasting-grenades find their targets. Searchlights Brought Iate Use. Searchilights flare up. Like a threat- eningly pointed finger, the rays grope across the water, seeking to pierce through the gray wall, trembling here | and there, greedily on the search after the enemy, to se him and to hold \ him tight. Vice Admiral Scheer, the commander 4 we 2 n 1 eee . nr N JFF TVC N 8 on industries can accomplish.

Heedless of danger, he can watch the fight better from here. The battle has already lasted for hours. At full speed it continues toward the last. The distance between is now less than. a hundred kilometers (about six miles), so that the ships of the enemy are, with difficuity, to be distinguished from our own. Shortly before complete darkness falle the enemy receives further reinforce ments from the north. Now they can de distinguished as » men-of-war of the latest model. The English main body, including ships completed since the beginning of the war, approaches under Admiral Jellicoe. The first rays of fire from the guns al- ready flash through the darkness from the foremost of his ships.

The Cardinals, with but few excep- tions, are in the proverbial pink.“ They experienced a fine training trip at San Antonio and subsequent to their stay there they got in many good licks on the way home. As a whole, the team is splendidly equipped for the opening of the spring series Saturday at their own park. >~ The last two road games of Huggins’ men were victories. The regulars, with Pierce and Steele working, yesterday defeated Little Rock 8—2, while the Kar- dinal kiddies punished Minneapolis at Parsons, Kan., 10 to 8. For the regulars Pierce allowed three hits and one run in five innings and Steele two and one in four rounds. Wal-] ton Cruise and Bettel each poled three safeties: Hornsby went hitless. Meadows and Gardenier did the hurli- ing for the Kardinal kids, seven hits being made off of each hurler. Roche, working in right field for the Cardinals, had a great day at bat, recording four safe hits, one a double, and achieving one base steal. Steele is in fine shape and Huggins’ probable pitching selection for Satur- regular lineup to the field in the first game of the series. This means a youngster, either Fin Yardiey or Yale Sloan, will be the lead-off man, as Bert Shotton was sent home some time ago because of a bad throat and will be unable to participate. Yardley will in all probability get into the game if a left hander is on duty for Huggins’ «aggregation, while Sloan will play if the Cardinal manager sends a righthander to the hill. The unofficial lineup for the Browns will be as follows: Yardley or Sloan, right field; Austin, third base; Sisler, first base: Rumler, left field: Pratt, second hase; Marsans, center field: Johnson, short stop; Sever- eid, catcher, and Groom or Hamil- ton. pitcher. Groom probably will draw the xitching assignment as right now he s twirling better ball than any fling- er with the club. In his iast two outs in which he has worked eight in- nings, he has been credited with 15 strikeouts, seven of these coming in four frames against the Columbus Hamilton also is in his The Pirates are still mourning the loss of George Sisler—that is if one can lose what one never had. * N the meantime the great spring di- Version of filling Hans Wagner's shoes goes merrily on. 5 Spring Series. ] | my ~ day. ‘ 2 2 Club last Tuesday.

THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 29, 1917, BOOKS cellent color plates and descriptive mat- ter, is a record of wonderful works of architecture that were for hundreds of years, but are no more and will never be again. Among the illustrations are beautifu! color drawings of the Cloth Hall at Ypres, the Tower of St. Rambauld at Malines, the Belfry of St. Nicholas at Dixmude, the Hall of the Knights Tem- plar at Nieuport, the Cathedral and Town Hall at Louvain and scores of others. The volume is handsomely printed and is an art object in itself. Mr. Edwards treats the entire subject with the touch of an artist who has been personally bereaved. In years to come his book will be considered an important work of references. The towers of Ilium are gone, but they live again in this volume as much as crayon, pen and brush can make them live.

The book is a reproduction of the for- mat of the sixth edition of “A Confes- sion of Faith.” published in 17. The style of the reproduction is identical in all typographical aspects with the carte work, but is smaller in size. It con- tains numerous reproductions of his printed efforts in facsimile and is 6ne of the most Uluminating expositions of the methods and manners of the great printer, as well as a most excellent olography.

Jilly Nipchin is an irresistible personality, Clates are not particularly absorbing, ut her stage managers, including one who is apparently intended to depict the successful London actor-manager, gre very 2njoyable types. The love in terest in the story is cleverly handled. A San Francisco appearance, at the beginning of a London star’s American engagement, seems to present no dif. ficulties to this author. (Lane. MY SECOND YEAR OF THE WAR. REDERICE PALMER,. American — War correspondent, writes with authority, and at contemporary range, of events which must continue to be the theme of books so long as | books shall be writen. His latest work, “My Second Year of the War,” follows “My Year of the Great War, which was the first year. The Somme offensive is the outstand- ing subject of the new book, which has more than 400 pages packed with facts and definite impressions. The same facts and impressions have been given in his news dispatches and special articles, but in the book they form a closely related whole and are a record of lasting value. The personality of the writer is so en- tirely submerged that when he writes “I saw,“ the reader appears to see. Some of the most absorbing parts of the story are in the deacription of the charges and fighting in the open, at times when trench warfare was tem- porarily abandoned. “The average layman, he writes, “conceives of a charge as a rush. So it is on the drill ground, but not where its movement is timed to arrival on the second before a hissing storm of death, and the attackers must not be winded when there is hot work awalitinfi them in close encounters around traverses and at the mouths of dugouts.. No one was sprinting ahead of his companions; no one crying, Come on, boys!“ no one swinging his steel helmet aloft, for he needed it for protection from any sud- den burst of shrapnel. All were advanc- ing at a rapid pace, keeping line and intervals except where they had to pass around shell craters. Every man must do his part as coolly as if he were walking a tight rope with no net to catch him, with death to be reckoned with in the course of a systematic evo- lution.’’ A sort of safety recipe for neutral ob- servers is in this paragraph: “It is not an uncommon thing for one to feel quite safe within a couple of hundred yards of an artillery concen- tration. That corner of a village, that edge of a shattered grove, that turn in the highway, that sunken road—keep away from them! Any kind of trench for shrapnel; lie down flat unless a sat- isfactory dugout is near, for protection from high explosives which burst in the earth. If you are at the front and a curtain of fire is put behind you, wait until it is over or go around it. If there is one ahead, wait until another day— provided that you are a spectator.

The author is a young man who, both on the platform and in his writings, expresses his convictions about the frailties and strength of human na- ture and expresses them in a manner of his own. Although religious in charac- ter, the book touches on love, humor, history, war and philosophy. Its pur- pose is not to emphasize the religious side of life except as it relates itself to practical living.
