One warrant officer and one enlisted man are dead, one warrant officer and four enlist- ed men are missing, 20 officers, 12 warrant officers and 321 enlisted men have been made prisoners. “On Oct, 28, 1914, the 35-foot cuttér called the ‘Ocean Comber,’ entered the harbor of Apra, in charge of Lieut. von Elpons of the Imperial German navy. The boat and party: of three officers and four natives of New Guinea had been at sea for a long time, having left S. M. S. ‘Cormoran’ for the purpose of sending a cable to San Francisco for supplies. The date of the cipher was Oct. 1, and the location of the Cormofan was not auxiliary cruiser 'disclosed. Permission was not grant- ed to send the cablegram and the of- ficers and men were interned. “On Dec. 14, 1914, the German auxiliary cruiser Cormoran appeared off the harbor of Apra, and sent a radio asking permission to enter for coal and provisions. She was allowed to enter and the commander to visit the Governor. “Commanding offieer *+uckschwerdt stated that he had just come from the South Seas, and was short of coal, had only about 50 tons on board and requested 1500 tons of coal and pro- visions to reach his nearest home port in German East Africa. The Gov- ernor replied that he cvwuld furnish only 200 tons of coal and 30 days’ provisions only could be spared; the commanding officer was given the alternative of departing within 24 hours or being interned. “On Dec. 15, 1914, at 10 a. m., the commanding officer decided to re- main in port and the ship and its personnel were interned. “The following were on board: officers, one midshipman, 11 deck of- ficers, 807 petty officers and men, four Chinese and 29 South Sea na- tives.”’ Internment of the Cormoran at Guam has been the cause of continual conflict and disagreabie incidents between the American naval officers in charge of the isiands and the German crew. On several occasions former German Ambassador Bernstorff appealed to the State Department on behalf of the Cor- moran’s officers and crew to have the vessel transferred to San Francisco. Each time the Navy Department re- fused. The Cormoran was chased into Guam by Japanese warships soon after the declaration of war between Japan and Germany. The ship had exhausted her fuel supply raiding commerce and was compelled to burn her woodwork struc- ture to make steam under which. she reached that port. The Cormcran was formerly a stear.- er in the Russian fleet, was captured early in the morning of Aug. 3 by 8S. M 5S. Emden, and was formally put in service as a German auxiliary cruiser. Her name befcre capture was the Rjaesan’. During peace, she was in the Passenger trade between Shanghai and Viadivostock, She is a new, sneedy ship, bullt at the German. works at Schichau.

She was equippel with guns, manned by a German crew. } The old German gunboat Cormoran was being dismantled at Tsing Tao and the captain and most of her crew werc transferred to the uewly converted aux- iiiary cruiser.

FIRE GHIET; OFFERS J0B 10 SWINGLEY Declares He Will Remove Hen- derson “‘in Interest: of Har- mony in Department.”’ —E \ Building Commissioner to Be- come Public Safety Director; Fill Both Positions. Mayor Kiel today made it known that Ke is about to remove Fire Chief Hen- derson, “in the interest of harmony in the department.” This announcement followed quickly the visit of 40 business men to Mayor Kiel yesterday afternoon to protest against Henderson's remov- al. The delegation handed to the May- or a petition with 500 signatures, de- manding that Henderson be retained. In announcing that Henderson was to be superseded, the Mayor said he would offer the position of Fire Chief to Dt- rector of Public Safety Swingley, if Swingley would accept it. Swingley for many years was fire chief. McKelvey to Be Promoted. Whether or not Swingley accepts the chief's job, he is to be superseded, as the Mayor made it kypown that he is about te appoint Building Commission- er McKelvey as Director of Public Safe- ty. McKelvey is one of the Mayor’s closest political henchmen. In his present posi- tion his salary is $5000 a year. As Di- rector of Public Safety he would re- ceive $8000 a vear and would be in di- rect control of the fire department and other important branches of the city government. It is Mayor Kiel’s intention to make no appointment of a successor to Mc- Kelvey as Building Commissioner. He says McKelvey can perform ¢he duties of that position while Director of Pub- lic Safety, thus saving $5000 a year to the city treasury. Director Swingley today said to re- porters that he had not decided wheth?r he would accept an appointment as lire Chief, but he was inclined to think he could not. The change would invuive a reduction in his salary from #8v'% 10 $4000 a year. Henderson Denies Any Discord. Chief Henderson said: “If May... hkKiel thinks it best in the interest of his «ad- ministration and the city te depuse ine as Chief, in face of the recora T have made, I will gracefully accept dismissa’. But I would like to have it understood that, so far as I know, there is perfect harmony throughout the Fire Wepart- ment.”’ Henderson, at the time of his pro- motion to Chief, four years ago was secretary to Chief Swingley. Before that he had served in various capaci- ties in the department and had risen to the rank of Lieutenant. Shortly after he became Chief, he issued stringent rules for the conduct and government of the department and he was vigilant in seeing that these rules were enforced. One of his favorite methods of ob- servation was to make unannounced visits late at night to engine houses in all parts of the city to satisfy him- self the rules were being kept. Originator of Firemen’s Show. Henderson published a paper in the interest of fire prevention and had mov- ing pictures prepared for public exhibi- tion showing how carelessness ‘might cause fires. He was the originator of a ‘‘firemen’s show’’ which was given in a park in South St. Louis about a year ago. After the Christian Brothers’ College fire in which six lives were lost, his conduct in directing the work of the firemen was inquired into by a Coroner’s jury and by the Board of Aldermen. Both exonerated him of all blame for the disaster. Indians Offer Services to U. S.

ST LOUIS POST-DISPATCH r SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL —s i, 4 oo atin es the war would be about equally di- vided between taxation and bond is- gues. It was said today there would be no attempt to drain the wealth of the country by enormous increases Jn the imsome and corporation taxes “tna a higher tax on excess profits, ut it was declared‘wealth would te forced to shear its portion of the burden. | “The young men of the country,” said Chairman Simmons, “are going to give their lives in this war and the wealthy, who may not be able to risk théirs, should contribute from their wealth.” Navy Mobilization. Compléte mobilization of.the navy, ordered by Secretary Daniels imme- diately after the Cabinet meeting, means the immediate organization of thé patrol service and the taking over of the swift, privately owned motor craft already enrolled. Vol- unter crews of these boats will be called out also. Under the call for the reserves sceres of retired naval officers are starting to posts previously selected . for them to relieve every active offi- cer now on shore duty and whose services can be spared. The active men will go to the fleets, active and reserve, and to merchant craft al- ready surveyed and listed and to the drafted into the Federal service. Chairman Dent of the House Mili- tary Committee, called on Secetary Baker. Their conference had to do with tiie Graft clauses of the bill, to which con- ‘siderable opposition is «xpected at the Capitol. Dent said afterward that he could not forecast the sent‘inent of Con- gress, but that he persoaaily was pre- pared to do all in his power to secure harmony of action beiween Consress and the administration. “T have been opposed aiways to the draft,”’ he said, “or tv ¢ons:ription sys- tems for the army, and think !t should be invoked only in time of aciuval neccs- sity or emergency. However, I shall do what I can to keep the administra- tion and Congress in agreement on the question and to avoid any conflict, espe- cially at the present time.’’ Plans have been iaid for cal'ing the entire General Staff to Washington ro help in administration of the huge task of army building befors :he dJepartnient. Only half of the authorized strength of the staff.can now be «‘n duty here under existing law. Congress is uxpecteld to remedy this at once, however. Pending a decision by Congress on the methods to be employed in raising the army, a detailed scheme for ap- pointment of new general officers and getting highly efficient soldiers In com- mand of each regiment cannot be worked out. The basis for this work, however, already has been established by staff action. Selection of Generals. Wide latitude has been left to the President in the selection of Generals under the staff plan. They may be ap- pointed from any part of the forces to be raised or from civil life. Up to and including the grade of Colonel, however, it is desired by the military officials that men who have had recent experi- ence in handling troops shall be selected. So ‘far as possible, it is proposed to se- leet regular army officers to head all new regiments. With 32 Infantry and four cavalry di- visions to be organized there would be at least 36 Major-Generals and three times that number of Brigadiers to be selected and commissioned, with Col- onels and Majors in proportion. The grade of ajor is the highest provided for reserve officers and that of Captain for the provisional list of enlisted men. The creation of, 16 training centers would provide for two infantry divis- ions at each post. Presumably the cen- ters of the four cavalry divisions would be somewhere in the region of the Mex!i- can border so that this mounted force can take over the border patrol work to a large extent, relieving the majority of the 66,000 regulars now assembled there. With the calling out of the first 500,- 000 of the new army, provision would be made for a new complete division at each training center, the forces already there supplying the instructors so that the half milllon young men could be absorbed into the army structure with little delay. No further steps toward calling out the national guard will be taken until Congréss has acted. It is pr posed to draft the entire guard into the Federal service instead of summoning them un- der their dual allegiance organizations. This can be done only with the author- ity of Congress. When that has been granted, eveh the 60,000 guardsmen now in the Federal service on police duty will be drafted fermally so as to do away with any possibility of dual au- thority over them or restriction on their use. Shipping Practically Tied Up by Reports of Two German Kaiders WASHINGTON, April 7.—Reports of German commerce raiders off At- lantic ports were flashed along the seaboard today and all shipping Practically was tied up while naval patrols went out to establish the identity of the mysterious ships re- ported near the lanes. It was the first breath of war at the doors of America and it sent a thrill through the country. The first report came from Nan- tucket Lightship, which saw a strange ship passing west at 7:20 o’clock this morning and promptly reported it to the Boston Navy Yards and the Navy Department. Destroyer flotillas are at sea in the vicinity and presumably they heard the wireiess warning RE HELP NEEDED TO ISSUE MTATURAL TION PAPERS HERE Porce Inadequate to Handie Rush of Aliens — German Newspaper Man Applies for Citizenship Document, Tho demand for naturalization papers became so great at the Federal building today that Chief Naturalization Exam- iner Bevington will go to Washington tonight to ask the Commissioner of Nat- uPalization to put five adé@itional clerks at the St. Louis office. ‘By 10 a. ‘m. today first papers had been issued to 20 applicants, mostly Ger- mans and Austrians, and 40 more were standing in line.

WAR MESSAGE 19 PRINTED IN BERLIN Foreign Office Declares No Of- ficial Reply Will Be Made to Wilson’s Address. “A CRAFTY DOCUMENT” Newspapers of German Capital Continue to Bitterly Assail Wilson. BERLIN, Via WLondon, Apri} 7.—The complete text of President Wilson's mes- sage has arrived by wireless, taking al- most a whole day in transmission be- cause of static troubles. It is printed in the morning papers, differing im- raterially from the London version, After a careful study, the Foreign Uf- fice declared there will be no official reply. In their Friday morning editions the Berlin Vossiscne Zeitung and the Ber- liner Tageblatt prints the full text of President Wilson's address. The ad- dress is also printed in part by the Deutsehes Tages Zeitung. In connection with its re-publication of a part of the text of the President's speech, the Tages Zeitung returns to complaining of President Wiilson’s mis- representing ‘‘the submarine warfare and of his attempts to cause a split between the German peopl and its military leaders.” “4 Crafty Documvcnt.” “Beholding this crafty document,’’ it continues, “‘wio will still believe Presi- dent Wilson is a dreamy philosopher? In a discoursive article on ‘monk&rehy versus democracy,’’ the Kreuz Zeitung declares the German, and especially the Prussian people, were always es- sentially monarchical and it sees the sole salvation of the nation in the con- tinuance of that system. The short- sighted democracy at home, it says, is blind to the signs of the times and to the question: “What is the need of our time?’ The newspaper gives the answer that ‘today in this war the foundations of power must be laid down for a future greater Germany, strong enough to withstand the gigantic pressure of Great Britain, Russia and the United States. This may be our last opportunity.’’ it adds. “May the monarchy again suc- ceed in finding the right way to Ger- many’s greatness.’’ President Is Assaliled. Commenting on the Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung’s semi-ofifcial state- ment regarding the address in which it was declared President Wilson was try- ing to “loosen the bonds between the people and princes of Germany,” 80 that the country might “become on easier prey’’ for its enemies, the Lokal) Angeiger says: “It is peculiar that it is Mr. Wilson who would bring us freedom—thc same man whom the American Constitution gives autocratic power and who has craftily driven the peaceful American nation into war. Circumstances have driven him further than he wanted to go, because in his vain obstinacy he refused to yield while there was yet time. Let him now look to himself. The German people who rejected him as a peace broker certainly want none of him as a champion ef liberty.” President's Measage Hyporritical, Maj, Moraht Says. TERDAM, via London, April 7.— Moraht in the Deutsche Tages Zeitung, writes an abusive article on what he calls President Wilson's at- tempt to provoke Austro-German dis- sensione over the submarine war. He calls the Presidént’s other things, hideously hypocritical, un- principled and untruthful. “People like Witson,’’ he said, ed by sheer force.” Maj. Moraht is uncertain as to whether America’s entrance into the war will prolong the strugegie, but he expresses the hope that the German navy will in- flict all possible damage on America and thus ‘“‘spoil the game of the American financiers’’ He “concludes thet the thing most desirable now is that Ger- many should remain united. The Koelnische Zeitung, after a resume of the war operations concludes: ‘‘Amer- ica, paradoxical. though it may seem, has been hitherto a more dangerous ad- versary, than, say Italy, because of her munition supplies to the entente. Now that America has become anh open en- emy the danger must decrease steadily, owing to the intensified operations of our submarines.

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, SATURDAY EVE! NOW FOR THE WAR LEGISLATION. President Wilson’s call for volunteers was ac- companied by a statement explaining the legisla- tion desired from Congress to facilitate the raising of adequate war forces. Voluntary enlistment is relied on to increase the regular army and national guard to war strength. For the gathering of additional troops, selective conscription will be employed. That the need for these additional forces is to be forestalled by draft- ing as soon as practicable from the states their quota according to population and placing the men under preparatory training is implied.

We shall avail ourselves drastically independent, never be afraid of the possibilities of the volunteer system and at the same time gather strength in reserve by authorizing conscription, to which England only turned in the confusion and apprehension of a crisis after many months of war. Whatever the judgment of individual Congress- men as to the necessity and wisdom of universal obligatory service for all time, they have a spe- cial duty in approving without delay, as emer- gency measures, this program of war legislation. The new system does not propose heavy national sacrifices in time and money as a safeguard against the mere possibility of war discerned in the remote future. It proposes tested agencies for insuring efficiency and success in a war now upon us.

In almost every city there is a neighborhood that is. a hot-bed of tuberculosis because one drop of infected sputum was permitted to dry.and become scattered with the dust. Such a region spreads disease in every direction, including the clean neighborhoods. Many a deadly epidemic could have been prevented if some housewife somewhere had realized the value — of home disinfection. “In every home there are places where disease germs are almost always present. Left undisturbed, these germs will breed by millions and menace the life and‘health of your family and your neighborhood. Yet you can make these danger spots -germ-proof.

Nowhere was the gratification greatér than along the section held by the Can- adians, with whom many thousands of Americans are serving. Many Canadian and British companies were busy today preparing signs to hold up over the trenches, telling the Ger- mans the tidings from Washington.

MISS VIVIAN BOSWELL. Chicago society girls, who, dressed in Khaki, are patrolling the streets of Chicago daily, urging voung men to join participation and an almost universal wish that the United States should be represented on the fighting line at the earliest moment, if only by a brigade or division. Mingled with the universal de- sire that the war should soopube ended was the generally expressed pe that it would last long enough to give the Americans a chance at the Germans. Apart from the purely military view the soldiers keenly appreciated the moral weight of America’s decision. Some of the British officers reiterated the view expressed to the correspondent when diplomatic relations were sevy- ered, that American participation might first consist of the sending of special -detachments, such as aviators, machine gun sections and batteries of artillery. While the Canadians are loath to lose the services of any of the thousands of Americans in t*eir ranks, it was stated at headquarters today that it was rea'- ized that, with an American force ir the field, many of these soldiers would desire to be released so as to serve un- der their own flag. Their long training and experience under battle conditions would prove an invaluable aid, it was conceded to an American expeditionary corps. Many of these men might also be available for return to America to help in training. It also is expected that America will ask that a large num bér of its officers be attached to the British army for observation and ex- perience under the actual cond‘tions of European warfare.

WASHINGTON, April 7.—In a state- ment approving the army plan present- ed to Congress by the War Department President Wilson said the hope of the world is that when the European war is over afrangements will have been made composing many of the questions which hitherto have seemed to require the arming of the nations. The President’s statement follows: ‘The principle embodied in the légisia- tion presented by the War Department to the militafy committees of the Senate and House have tny entire approval, and its specific recommendations embody the best judgment of the officers of the War Department. “It proposes to raise the forces neces- sary to méet the present emefgency by bringing the regular army and the na- tional guard to war strength and by adding the additional forces which will now be needed. so that the national army will comprise three elements, the regular army, the national guard and the so-called additional forces, of which at first 600,000 aré to be authorized immediately and later increments of the same size as they may be neéded. “In order that all of these forces may comprise a single army, the term of enlistment in the three is equalized and will be for the period of the emergency. “The necessary men will be secured for the régular army and the national! guard by volunteering, as at present, until, in the judgment of the President, a resort to a seleetive draft is desir- able. The additional forces, however, | are to be raised from a selective draft from men ranging in age from 19 to 2 vears. The quotas of several states in all of these forces will be in proportion to their population. “This legislation makes no attémpt to solve the question of a permanegt mill- tary policy for the country, chiéfly for the reason that in these anxious and disordered times a clear view cannot De had either 6f gur pérmanent military necessities or of the best mode of organ- izing a proper military peace establish- ment.

St. Louls is now the owner of two railroads as the nucleus of municipal terminals in connection with the free bridge. The second of these roads—that operated by the St. Louis Transfer Railway Co.—is to be ac- quired under a bill passed yesterday by the Board of Aldermen. The act- ual conveyance of the title to the city may not be effected for a month, but the ownership is virtually vested in the city by the Aldermen’s action. Mayor Kiel has announced he will approve the bill. The other railroad owned an1 op- érated by the city is that extending from Bissell Point (Bast Grand ave- nue) to the Chain of Rocks. Both electric cars and steam locomotives are operated On this line, which hauls coal, lime, equipment ana supplies and material to the pumping stations at Baden and the Chain of Rocks, and transports passengers, including city employes, between those points.

"The St. Loufs Transfer Railway runs along the levee and over its own right of way from Arsenal street to Bast Grand avenue, and can be con-. nected with the waterworks line. St. Louls then will have about 12 miles of railroad linking al! the principal roads entering St. Louls. The St. Louis Transfer Railway was ceded to the city by the Terminal Railroad Association as a compensa- tion for authority to use streets in the Ranken tract, where the associa- tion intends to estatlish passenger yards and team tracks. The road its valued at $600,000. The Terminal Association will continue to operate over the Transfer Railway, but will pay the city a rental of $30,000 a year. Long Centroversy Ended. Permission to lay tracks in the streets of the Ranken property was given in a bill which the Board of Aldermen passed yesterday after adopting the bill acquiring the Transfer Railway. President Aloe congratulated the board for termin- ating a controversy that. has contin- ued for the last eight or ten years. Opposition to the bills had virtually vanished yesterday, only two Alder- men—Bilers and Waller—voting against the acquisition of the transfer line. The vote for the bill giting the Tarminal Association the use of streets in the Ranken tract was un- animous.

RICHARD CC, CABOT, whom [) two professions owe a great deal, having written several exten- sively used physicians’ text books and having called attention to the distinct fleld of the social worker has‘written a new book ‘‘A Layman’s Handbook of Medicine,’’ coupling the two professions and giving to social workers a better knowledge of the health side of thelr work. Dr. Cabot's work of establishing social service in the Massachusetts Gen- eral Hospital opened the way for simi- lar efforts all over this country and in some places in Europe. . Through this work has been estab- lished the closer relation between the physician and the social worker. Ofhe must have both if benefits are to be ac- complished. Every good physician is essentially a social worker and every good social worker must of neceéssity be interested in the problems of health and Lsanitation.. In an earlier book on social service and the art of healing, Dr. Ca- bot indicated the need of closer co- operation between social worker and physician and the results to be obtained, from such co-operation. In his latest book, “A Layman’s Handbook of Medi- cine’’ he makes possible a better under- standing of the problems of health on the part of social workers. The work is the result of a series of lectures delivered for social workers cn medical facts they need in connec- tion with tieir work. It should be in every American house- hold for it is not like the “home physi- cian’’ which book agents used to sell to our rural population but is a handbook written by a physician who knows what we need to know about ourselves and possible afflictions. It helps a person to understand, also, what his physician is trying to do when called upon in case of sickness. The book is written in the characteris- tic Cabot style, simple, comprehensive and interspersed with delightful humor. In many instances questions and an- swers are given which developed during the lectures. Some illustrations and an adequate index add to the value of this splendid volume. Every social service agency and every school should place a copy among its reference books. (Hough- ton, Mifflin Co.) | en eee osthiien aC pe BPM its 9! “ Ae ae ‘ > hid Pe ae , Gah a J _ at .

They may force a tie by per- petrating a game Monday, but pres- ent plans call for a cessation of hos- tilities Sunday afternoon. The Cards scored another clean-cut victory yesterday for the simple reason that they made two hits for every one compounded by the American League invaders. On the series so far, the Car- dinals have drilled out 33 hits against a meager 19 for the Brownies. That explains why Hug’s hirelings have won three and tied one, in four outs. Because of their puerile batting punch, the Browns look none too well. Inderd they played slovenly yesterday, having absolutely no pep and apparently no ¢de- sire to generate any energizing force. They. simply limped through their work and were glad when it was over. Watson’s Great Work. Of course the Browns were up against a tough proposition in Mr. Milton Wat- son, who refused to weaken even in the one inning when the Cardinal defense threatened to crack. He held the Brows to four hits, two of these coming in the ninth. In six of the nine rounds he put the Browns down in order, and while he fanned only three men, he walked only 0. Hornsby’s error in the ninth gave the Browns their only run, and came after two were out. Austin had singled with one gone, and moved to third on Pratt’s doub Then Hornsby fluffed Marsans’ easy grounder and Austin scored.

Jones ventured the opinion, yes- terday, that Risberg was the best re- cruit on thea horizon, so far; but he added that it would take more than a Risberg to give the White Sox any decided edge for the pennant, “I can’t see what’s the matter with the Boston Red Sox,’ commented the Browns’ leader, “that so many critics are trying to pick a team to beat them. The Red Sox have*lost little since last vear and probably will not encounter nearly so much mis- fortune this year as they ran into in 1916. “Tf baseball men really must pick, I don’t see why they overlook the champions. For my part, this race is just exactly the same as that of the year before. Six teams have a chance. I certainly don’t think the Browns the worst of these contend- ers, or count them out of the flag Team Ready for Opening. “My men, pitchers excepted, will all be in shape for the opening of the season—I think Lavan will be back at that time. He and Johnson make good alternates. “The Browns will show a better defense than last year, and it was a fairly good one, in the latter part of the season. My substitutes are good and I don’t see how they can keep us from making a fight, with reserves like Ernie Johnson hanging around. ‘There’s a fine ball player.” “Is there any chance to give hima trial at third?’ Jones was asked. “Not the slightest. Jimmy Austin can beat Johnson doing anything, at that corner, and he’s there to stay, barring accident. ‘T think I am going to get some hitting out of Sloan, although he is coming along slowly. Other new men look like real hitters andewill be kept for that purpose. If my pitching comes up to expectations I have no fear for my team.” It certainly “listens good.” And, Cardinals Outhit and Outfield Browns in Spring Series Games CARDINALS. Batting.

If a backer wanted a little personal glory, they might make a concession and call themselves “Billec’3 Bulldogs” or “Billers’ Prides.’ But today they let themselves be yoked up under the rubber-stamp firm title “Med Biller Hat Co.

HE squeamish lad, just entering the game, sensitive alike to jibes, crit- icism and even abuse takes one of two courses: (1) He forgets, and charges it all up to experience and part of the game. (2) He fights until he wins freedom from attack, or gets out of the came. A majority of men take the ‘‘call- ings’’ and coarse stuff as having no personal meaning attached to them. It is the rough school of experience and teaches them to ‘‘stand the gaff’’ with- out getting rattled, they hold. The other takes gaffing to heart as personal, and wants satisfaction. Un- less he is an exceptional man, he gets it —with reverse English. ; ¥Y COBB is one of the No. 2 variety. He has never become adjusted to his environment. He*mingles as little as he must.

Uncle:-Sam won't take Young Zulu Kid, flyweight boxer. Zulu is will- ing, but his physical dimensions are altogether out of line, he being con- siderably under five feet tall. Not being permitted to fight Ger- many, Joe Demelfi (Zulu’s real name), is preparing to fight Jimmy Wilde again, according to his own state- ment. If conditions permit of cross- ing the Atlantic with safety, Demelfi will carry out a contract which he says he holds calling for three fights abroad, one with Jimmy Wilde. Wilde himself, after being refused enlistment several times, was finally accepted by the authorities and ‘only a short time ago fought his first box- ing bout since joining the colors. He stopped an opponent, Private George Clark, in the fourth round, conced- ing a big weight advantage. Wilde, in fighting trim, weighs 98 pounds or close to that. For his bout with Clark he jumped on the scales wear- ing his cemplete khaki soldier outfit, puttees, nmiarching boots and all, and did not budge the beam. His oppon- ent was peeled down to his hide and socks. To show that boxing has lost none of its zest in England the largest at- tendance since the war first broke out in 1914 filled the National Sport- ing Club. Pension for Wilde. Wilde’s victory over Clark entitled him to a pension of $5 a week, if dis- ability, old age or lack of employ- ment overtake him. This pension goes with the dale belt, third time. Zulu was asked what hope he. had of beat- ing Wilde. First he attributed his defeat to Iumbago and unfitness. Then he stated that he would have won, but for a chance opening he left Wilde in the eleventh round. Lons- which Wilde won for the “Tt had Wilde goirg in the ninth.

They pounded diminutive Dick KefY, the Memphis southpaw, off Hurling Hill by barrage tire in the first round yesterday and then tolerated Tom gy, for a time, only to turn on him late in the game and make as many runs at his expense as they made off Kerr.

After Miller, who opened with a double, and advanced to third on Austin’s error of Hornsby's grounder, had been nipped at the plate in the third inning, Snyder delivered a whale of a single that brought Hornsby home.

P These were the facts elicited at the meeting of the graduate managers of the leading colleges and universities held here yesterday upon the invitation of Maj.

USE NOT YET DECIDED ON If Confiscated German Owners Probably Will Be Paid for Them After War. WASHINGTON, April 7.-—All of the nearly 100 German merchant-ships seized in American ports will have to be dry- docked before they can be made sea- worthy. Bureau of Navigation officials ‘minted to practical difficulties that will ® delay repairs, in that the ships will fill the country’s erregcus for some time to come. The great Watertebe: with a tonnage of 54,000, is too large to enter any of the American drydocks, and will have to be towed to Balboa to be docked. The earliest time estimated to put any of the vessels into service is three months. Many of them cannot be repaired that soon. A final decision as to the disposition of the ships probably will be made with- in a few days. A brief statement issued by the Treasury Department says they are taken in charge primarily for the purpose of protecting them and other property. Ceuld Carry Troops. Officials say an “intelligent use’ will be made of the vessels, and that they either could be used as naval! auxiliaries or aS merchant ships. Fourteen of the largest and swiftest could carry 40,000 troops, which is twice as many as could be transported by the entire available American merchant fleet. Some officials say the ships could not be taken over by the United States for- mally and put into service without an act of Congress. They also say there is & strong liklihood that if put into serv- lee they would be operated.-by the Ship- ring Board, which under the law is authorized to charter and operate ships. The entire American merchant fleet available can carry only about 20,000 troops. The German ships are large im- migrant carriers, readily convertible into troop ships. The United States has only eight vessels of this kind. Bureat Navigation officials say that use of the German ships would add 200 per cent to this country’s ability to men in effective numbers in Europe. Total Tonnage 620,000. Most of the fast German liners are buflt as nayal auxiliaries, with gun plat- ‘firms, reinforced decks and steering gear below the water line. The total of thetwaf, O Rinon® $a.u seized amounts to 620,000 gross tons. That tonnage could not be built in American yards in less than a year and some of the larger ships, notably the Vaterland, could not be produced in the United States in several years. Anxious to observe treaty obliga- _tions strictly, and move in accordance with ‘International law, officials will examine precédents carefully before deciding whether to confiscate the ships. Although in taking charge of the vessels, the Government's first purpose was to prevent their crews from destroying or further disaBling ‘them. the fact that they have come under the protection of the American government gives them a status which injects new features into the problem of their disposition. This problem officials regard as largely one of policy. It is held that the Government has absolute treaty tights to make use of the ships though it is uncertain whether they ean be taken over without reimburs- ing the German owners. In some Guarters the position is taken that Bhips of a value equal to that of American vessels sunk by German submarines should be confiscated out- right, but that it would be best to pay for the others.

TO FIND ‘TENANTS: ADVERTISE IN THESE COLUMNS—S8T. TELE UNK; HAD $350 000 CARGO o-- Fostenes Bound From New York to Rotterdam With Grain. NO AMERICANS ABOARD Had Crew of Fifty and Sailed Under the Norwegian Flag. NEW YORK, April 7.—The Belgian relief steamer Anna Fostenes, carrying $750,000 worth of grain to Rotterdam, has been sunk by a German submarine. The vessel carried no Americans. A cablegram received here by the Bel- gian Relief Commission announced the sirtiking of the ship, which left New York March 3, via Halifax. The message read: “Trevier and Anna Fostenes sunk off Holland.” + The loss of the Trevier, a Belgian re- Nef ship, torpedoed without warning, and of the Feistein, also a relief ship, Presumably by a mine, was announced several days ago. In view of the coup- ling of the names of the Trevier and the Anna Fostenes in the latest message, the commission has cabled London for further information. The possibility was suggested by the commission that the message alluded to the Feistein, owing to the similarity of the names. The Anna Fostenes’ crew numbered 50 men. She flew the Norwegian flag.

Abbott's Clothes Ehop could not meet his idea of price. Silas had to have service; anJ he had to get that service at a bargain price. While Silas made his headqua:- ters at the First Nationa! Bank, where he Was a solid pillar, his object in life Was to add to the supply of dollars a!- ready in the bank’s ‘thold’’—not to helj) any of the golden captives to escape. - “Whenever Silas Warner spends 4 dollar,” someone had said, ‘‘the eagle ig yhy several tail feathers.” “T gucss Josey will have to make that soat do unother year,’ Silas contem- plated as he strolled down the street from the Toggery. He paused to look in the window of a new clothing and furnishings store, operated by one Herman Wiebhel. ; sere ree eteee © CAGED LIKE A SAVAGE.

Slip into it. Well, Mr. War- ter, it might have been made for you “except it’s a littie full at the neck, but I can fix that in 10 minutes.”’ ‘®ilas saw 10 years’ wear in the coat, with Josey’s careful maintenance. “What's its price?’’ “Seventy-five dollars’’—— **Too much.” “T said $75, and that’s right. But someone else paid for part of it. He didn't like it and I got it so I could sell it for $40. Don't suppose I ought to say who it was, but it won't do any harm—it was Jim Leary.”’ Silas understood then. Jim Leary waz spending in a generation a family for- tune that had taken five generations to accumulate. Selling a $/5 overcoat fcr @ song, just because some trifle was wrong, or Mm mind had changed, was the Jim Léary way of circulating the goed currency of the reajm. He hai ne idea, however, of paying more than $20. Silas was having the apple fall into his lap already pared. Tie thrust his hands into the large pockets. His right hand came in contact with something. Silas’ finger tips, after a quick scout- ing, told him that the object was a wal- let—and a fat one. “The coat’s not worth $40 to me, but T' take it as I need one pretty bad.” Silas peeled three bills off a fat roll. “And you needn't mind fixin’ the col- lar. I'll just it home.’’ “Well, Jusey,’” said Silas as he sur- prised his wife by coming home early. *2 got me a coat. And I found this in it.” Silas produced the wallet.

I have to pay her 1 visit then, and it’s,simply awful to have to sit up and try to make yourself agreeable to one who insists on beinz miserable.” Away flew little Squank, mounted oa the swiftest dragon-fly in his stable, and soon came to the mansion of the Mournful Monobooboo. He found her sitting on the back steps weeping bi:- terly. A long line of maids stood hold- ing fresh pocket handkerchiefs for her and crying themselves, for it wasn't considered courteous to be cheerful in ee presence of the Mournful Monoboo-' “Why do you weep, Mournful Mono- booboo?"’ asked little Squank. “Because I'm so unhappy?” watled the Mournful Monobooboo. “But why are you unhappy?’ Squark then asked, “You have 19 lovely chil- dren with three nurses apiece for them. and you've 15 cooks and 17 housemaids and a Prime Minister to look after the Government, and countless subjects who love you dearly, and you have’’*—— “Ye-yes, yes, [ Know!" interrupted the Mournful Monobooboo. “But thc ehildren might get sick, and then, wit three nurses apiece, there would be in his wholesale order one-twelfth PRET, givé one of them the wrong medicine, and there are 15 chances that one of the cooks will burn the dinner, and— and—oh! I’m so miserable—boohoo— boohoo!"’ and she burst into fresh floods of tears, while the maids rushed up wit!. dry handkerchiefs. Chuckling to himself, little Squank slipped away, and, putting spurs to his dragon-fly, hastened to the King of the Goblins. “King!"’ he cried, “send a host of gob- lins to the mansion of the Mournful Monobooboo tonight and have them carry away the 17 housemaids and the 15 cooks and all the nursemaids except one little girl and the Prime Minister, and all the butlers and other servants.’ “Tt shall be done,” cried the King, and, blowing his horn, he summoned a host of goblins. And that night while t Mournful Monobooboo lay soboing n her'sleep the goblins came and did ax Squank had asked, leaving no one but the little nurse girl. Now, when the Mournful Monobooboo erose next morning she started to weep- ing right away, but soon, missing the breakfast that was always brought to her, she began to grow hungry and called for her maids to bring it. But no maid came. Much puzzled, she went to the kitchen, but not a cook was there. Just then she heard the 19 chil- dren clamoring for breakfast. ‘“My, my,’ exclaimed the Mournful Monobooboo. “I'll have to put off my regular 9 o'clock weeping spell and get breakfast for myself and the babiecs.”’ She flung aside her handkerchiefs and tied on an apron and soon was busy as a bee getting breakfast. Little Squank, who was watching from behind the door, chuckled gleefully and hurried away to Esmaralida. “Oh, Queen!” he cried in delight. “I'm no doctor, but I’ve cured the Mournful Monobooboo. You can pay your visit next Thursday in comfort." When next Thursday the Queen went to see the Mournful Monobooboo she three times the chance for a nurse to, | heard her upstairs singing merrily. “Come right up, Esmeralda,’ she called to the Queen as she leaned over the banisters. ‘I haven't time to come down.”’ The Queen ran up the stairs and found her with a towel tied around her head busily sweeping and making up the chil- dren’s beds, while she sang joyfully. “How are you, Mournful Monobooboo?’’ asked the Queen. ‘I'm not the Mournful Monobooboo any more,” was the laughing answer. “T haven't got time to be. I'm the Merry Minnehaha now. All my serv- ants disappeared last week, and now I have so much to do, looking after the children and taking care of the house end all, that it keeps me on the go all day long. I haven't shed a tear for ever so long, and the children have taken all my handkerchiefs to make doll clothes. Now come down and see what a nice luncheon I can fix up.” As the Queen flew homeward after a delightful visit to the Merry Minne- haha she met little Squank. “Oh, little Squank,’’ she exclaimed, “How did you cure her?” “Well, I'm no doctor,” answered Squank. And he told the Queen how he had taken away all the servants an! compelled the Mournful Monobooboo to get busy. “For, remember, Oh, Queen: he sail, “that no one who is idle can be happy and no one who is kept busy can be miserable.”’ (Copyright. 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.)
