ADVANGE ON TOMILE FRONT Attack Begun This Morning Between Arras and Lens Is Successful, and a Con- siderable Number of Pris- oners Is Taken. Gen. Haig’s Forces Also Cap- ture Three Towns in St. Quentin Region, Being 21% Miles From the City. Offensive Preceded by Great Aerial Activity Is Under- taken in Rich Coal District of France. LONDON, April 9, 1:45 p. m— British troops today penctrated the German lines all along a wide front from Arras to Lens, the’ War Office announces. Referring to the attack ou the front between Arras and tens, the siate- ment says: ‘‘We are making satis- factory progress at all points.’’ The statement says that in the di- rection of Cambrai the British have stormed the villages of Hermies and Boursies, and penetrated Havrincourt wood, In the direction of St. Quentin the British took Fresnoy le Petit and ad- vanced their line southeast of Le Verguier.. No estimate of the number of Ger- mans captured can yet be given, the statement says, but the number is considerable. Penetrated Lime Everynkhere. The statement, which is timed at 11:26 a. m., c‘ollows: “We attacked at 5:30 o'clock this morn- ing ona wide front from south of Ar- ras to south ef vens. Cur. troops -have. everywhere penetrated the enemy's lines and are making satisfactory Prog: we “In the diréction of Carhbrai, a _ Btormed, the villages of Hermies and ‘ Boursies and have penetrated into: Hay- -Tincourt Wood. . . “In the direction of dt. Quentin, we captured l‘resey le Petit and advanced our line southeast of Le Verguier. “No estimate of the prisoners taken can yet be given, but considerable num- bers are reported captured.” . The fighting line from Lens to Arras is approximately 10 miles in length and * lies directly north of the field of the re- ‘cent German retirement. The fact that the line has been pene- trated by the British all along this wide front indicates that the movement there is a general offensive. An entire new phase of pperations on the western front is opened vp in this new battle on the Lens-Arras line. The field of attacks represents the greatest danger point for the Germans, as in the recent fighting a sharp salient was driv- en into the German line southeast of Arras. Rich Coal Mimes Near Lens, In the Lens region into which the Brit- ish are driving is a rich coal field which the Germans have been exploiting since their occupation of this territory early in the war. The opening of the new offensive had been foreshadowed in the intense aeri- al activity of the last two or three days, in which hundreds of machines have been engaged on both sides. This work, as the British statements have indicated, has given Gen. Haig's staff photographic reproductions of the Ger- man positions for long distance behind the fighting line. _ The advance reported at Hermies and Boursies is particularly important. Bour- gies is directly on the road from Ba- paume to Cambrai, about eight miles from the latter place. Hermies lies just to the south of Boursies. In their drive toward St. Quentin, the capture of Fres- noy de Petit puts the British within 2% miles of St. Quentin's outskirts. Trench Raids Made Saturday. The official report from British head- @uartere last night said: In the neighborhood of the Bapaume- ~ _ Cambrai sige made considerabia @ Progress on a front of 3000 yards ' forth of the village of veral. “Our raiding parties entered the ene- my’s lines last night at a number of points and secured several prisoners.

Mrs. Ida Davis of 43338 Kennerly ave- nue was awakened at 1:20 o’clock this morning by dreaming that her son, Harold, 12 years old, was heing kid- naped by two negroes. She rushed inte his room and found his bed empty. An open window indicated the route of his departure. The boy slept in the same room with his father, Charles. They went to bed at 7:30 o'clock last night. The father was not awakened by the departure of the boy, who took all his clothing with him. The boy is five feet in height, weighs 2% pounds and has brown hair and dark eyes. His parents suppose that he wore a suit of gray knéckerbockers and gray coat and cap. The police, who were notified, believe the boy ran away. FIVE-INCH SNOW IN NEW YORK Fall in Philadelphia, 8 Inches; Great- er Thaw Any Last Winter.

PRICE GUARANTEE ON CROPS LIKELY 1) BE DEMANDED Secretary Houston Heads Na- tional Conference of Agricul- tural Experts Here. — MORE FOOD Appeal to Congress, Bankers and Farmers for Co-operation Probable. An appeal to Congress to pass laws guaranteeing to farmers a minimum price for all farm products and to farm laborers a minimum wage; a Call upon bankers to lend money to farmers it low rates to buy seed, and a demand upon farmers to increase crop produc- tion by greater acreage and more sci- entific methods of cultivation and dis- tribution probably will be issued by a conference of agricultural experts which met here today. All parts of the United States except New England and the Pa- cific Coast are represented in the con- ference, which is being held at the Jef- ferson Hotel, under the direction of Sec- retary of Agriculture David F. Houston. The United States, having entered the world war, will be called upon to feed itself, France and England, in the opin- ion of the agricultural experts. This fact will make it necessary to increase the farm production to an extent never before undertaken in this country. Demand for Information. Secretary Houston explained that he called the conference in St. Louis in response to thousands of demands from all sections of the country fer infor- mation as to what should be done in the presént crisis. The report of the wheat crop shows that it will be much smaller than last year, and there is a great shortage of both seed and also of farm labor. it is the opinion of many of the agricultural experts, including presi- dents of nearly every university in the country, the deans of the agricul- tural colleges, and the officials of state Boards of Agriculture, that a4 real emergency exists, and that quick action is needed. to insure the plant- ing! of.a. great crop dufing the next five weeks. In connection with the campaign initiated by Secretary Hous- ton, a conference of the editors of all farm papers in the United States has been called for Wednesday in St. Louis. These editors will be asked to urge their readers to plant’ the greatest crops in the history of the country. It was also suggested before the eonference went into session that a $1,000,000 advertising campaign te conducted within the next few weeks to encourage the planting of big crops.

Congressional Body. BOND ISSUE Agreement Reached to Introduce $5,000,000,000 Measure in House Thursday. WASHINGTON, April 9.—A joint resolution for a congressional ‘‘joint committee on the conduct of the war’ was introduced simultaneously today by Senator Weeks of Massachusetts and Representative Madden, of Illinois, both Republicans. The committee would be composed of six members of the Senate, including four Democrats ‘and two Republicans, and six from the House, eveninly di- vided between Republicans and Demo- crats. Powers of Committee. The resolution provides that the com- mittee shall be known as the Joint Com- mittee on the Conduct of the War, and shall sit during the sessions or recesses of Congress, shall make a special duty of the problems arising out of the war, shall confer and advise ‘with the Pregi- dent of the United States and heads of various active departments and shall re- port to Congress from time to time in its own discretion and when requested to do so by either branch of Congress.”’ The committee would be clothed with the widest powers of investigation, com- pelling testimony under oath. A decision to introduce the $5,000,000,000 bond issue measure on Thursday in the House was reached today by Secretary McAdoo and Representative Rainey of Illinois, ranking Democratic member of the Ways and Means Committee. $3,000,000,000 to Allics. issue for a loan to the allies and a $2,- 000,000,000 issue for conducting the war for this country. The $2,000,000,000 issue is expected to meet approximately one- half of this country’s war expenses up to June 8, 1918. Considéeration of plans for conducting the war for this country will come later. .The most. essential thing to be accomplished now, it is agreéd, is to prepare the allies’ loan in order that they may obtain much need- ed food and munitions. Every effort to rush the bond méasure through the House will be considered by the Ways and Means Committee Wednesday. The question of the tenure of the bonds has not been definitely decided. Some members of the committee prefer 50-year bonds, but think it would be best to pay them off at different times. eee The question of raising money by tax- ation still is being considered, and it is generally agreed that excess profits; in- comes and certain luxuries will be heay- ily taxed. Opposition to increasing the inheritance tax because of interference with State inheritance.tax laws has ap- yeared, but, it is believed, will not prove strong enough to prevent raising the Government inheritance tax. Early action on the administration war legislative program was forecast upon the assembling of Congress today. Army Plians Taken Up. The Military Committee heard repre- sentatives of the War Department ex- plain its plan for raising an army. The House also is expected to agree prompt- ly to a Senate amendment to the gen- eral deficiency bill giving the President an emergency war fund of $100,000,000. About $1,570,000,000, or one-half® the §$3,- 500,000,000 asked for army and navy pur- poses within a year will be raised by taxation and the balance by «sale of bonds, House and -Senk&te leaders had virtually decided today. It is proposed that ‘most revenue should come from increased taxes on incomes, inheritance and excess profits and that an issue of 3% per cent bonds be authorised for $5,- 000,000,000, of which $3,000,000,000 would be invested in war bonds for the entente nations and $2,000,000,000 would cover the balance of the war expenses not met by taxation. All of the $2,000,000,000 might not be needed within the year, accord- ing to advance estimates. Members of the House Ways and Means Committee today discussed de- tails of the financial problems and there was some talk of pressing immediately only for a $3,000,000,000 bond issue for the entente loan, leaving the $2,000,000,- 000 issue for army and navy expenses for more deliberate legislative action. MINIMUM WAGE FOR WOMEN UPHELD BY U. S. SUPREME COURT Oregon Compulsory Law Passed Upon; 10-Hour Day Limit Also Sustained.

WASHINGTON, April 9.—Revorts. to the Treasury Department today snowed that following the breaking off of dip- lomatic relations between Austria-Hun- gary and the United States customs atu- thorities had taken possession of Aus- trian steamers tied up in various ports since the beginning of the war. Among the vessels taken in charge are the Franconia at Philadelphia; Budapest, Newport News; Erny, Boston; Clara, Anna and Teresa, New Orleans; Mor- rowitz and Campania, Houston, Tex. Coltector Berry at Philadelphia said that his men found the machinery of the” Franconia damaged-in about the same manner as that of the two Ger- man ships seized there last week. LAST MURDER INDICTMENT AGAINST DR, HYDE DISMISSED Kansas City Physician Was Tried Three Times in Eight Years for Col. Swope’s Death. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 9.—Dr. B. Clarke Hyde, after three trials and nearly eight years of prosecution is free. The last of the indictments charging him with murder in connection with the déaths of three members of the Swope family were dismissed formally by Judge E. E. Porterfield in the Criminal Court today. Dr. Hyde and his wife sat together t- side the courtroom. Neither displayed émotion when the Court pronounced the decision to sustain a motion of the de- fense to dismiss, and without a word they left the room. No «objection to the dismissal was| made. Hunt C. Moore, prosecutor, is- sued a statement Saturday explaining that it was impdssible to continue the prosecution because of lack of funds, The dismissal was on the ground that a& murder case cannot be continued, on a retrial, more than four times.over the objection of the defense. The Hyde case had been continued eight times since the Jast trial in 1913. 21 CORPORATIONS INDICTED FOR FIXING COAL PRICES Eighteen Individuals Also Accused of Violating the Sherman Anti. trust Law. NEW YORK, April 9.—An indictment naming 2! corpcrations and 18 individu- als, charging violation of the Sherman anti-trust law in fixing prices of coal, was handed*down today by the Federal grand jury.

It appeared likely that a majority of the committee would oppose the Ameri- can participation in the war on all grounds, but that minority reports would be presented the intermediary ele- ment, recognizing the necessity of the country’s participation in the event of invasion by an alien foe, and by the ex- tremists, declaring that all should fol- low the course adopted by the admin- istration without complaint. It was announced shortly after the committee went into session today that its work probably would not be concluded in time for reports to the convention before tomorrow morn- ing. Many letters on the subject of war which had been received by mem- bers of. the committee from. Social- ists all over the country were read by the secretary. The convention was in session for only a few minutes this morning, ad- journing to permit the various commit- tees to take up their work. The dele- gates will reconvene this afternoon to hear the committee reports which may be ready. DEPOSITION OF MRS, NOLIER’S PARIS DENTIST IN SUIT ON BILL He Alleges Her Husband Agreed to Pay $20 An Hour for Work on Her Teeth—Wants $1200. The deposition of Dr. William J. Younger, a Paris dentist, was filed in Judge Grimm's court today in his suit against Robert E. Nolker for $1200, al- leged to be due in payment for work on Mrs.’ Nolker’s teeth in 1914. The dentist alleges Nolker went to his office in Paris and told him Mrs. Nol- ker’s teeth were a serious menace to her appearance and he wanted Dr. Younger to give her “the same treatment he had given to a famous beauty.” Dr. Younger in the deposition says he found Mrs. Nolker’s front teeth were badly placed and the enamel was “frightfully pitted.”’ It was understod, he said, that he should $20 an hour for his work. He agreed to extend credit to the Noikers, he said, because he pre- viously had done about $120 worth of work on Nolker’s teeth and had been propmtly padi. He alleges he never re- ceived anything for his work for Mrs. Nolker.

AMBASSADOR PENFIELD ARRIVES IN SWITZERLAND Spain Will Take Over American Interests in Dual Monarchy and Sweden Will Act Here for Vienna Government—All Consular Officials Will Be Withdrawn. WASHINGTON, April 9.—Baron Erich Zwiedinek, charge of the Austrio-Hungarian embassy here, today demanded his pass- ports. tions with the United States. By this act Austria-Hungary breaks off diplomatic rela-. Almost at the same time a dispatch from American Ministér Stovall at Berne, announced that relations had been broken by Austria at. Vienna on April 8, the day after American Ambassador Penfield departed. Dispatches today from Switzerland reported Ambassador Penfield’s arrival at Zurich. All American consular officers, as well as diplomats, will be withdrawn from Austria-Hungary, and Spain will take over the interests of the United States in Austria. . All Austrian consular officers, as well as diplomats, will be withdrawn from the Unitas States. Austria-Hungary has asked Sweden to take over her interests in the United States, Count Adam Tarnowski von Tarnow, who was appointed Austrian Ambassa- dor to the United States to succeed Dr. Constantin Dumba,.who was recalled at the request of President Wilson be- cause of his activity in violation of the neutrality laws, reached the United States Feb. 1, just two days before the United States broke off relations with Germary. President Wilson in his ad- dress to Congress last’: Monday revealed that the Count had not been alowed to present his credentials. Bulgaria and Turkey May Act. Up to the time Charge Zwiedinek asked for his passports no similar action | had been taken by Bulgaria and Turkey, Germany's two ‘other ailies, and their j representatives here disclaimed having any knowledge of the intention of their Governments. It is expected here they will follow, by breaking diplomatic re- lations. . Austria’s break with the United States | undoubtedly is the prelude to a declara- |. tion of a state of war. Sixty-two days elapsed between the break in relations between the United States and Germany and the formal declaration of a state of war. How many days. will elapse before Germany’s chief ally enters a state of war with Germany's newest enemy will be decided entirely by cir- cumstances. The diplomatic history of civilization and the precedents of cen~ turies show a state of war invariably follows a break in diplomatic relations between first-class Powers. Quite aside from this, Austria has sub- scribed even if only academically, to Germany’s campaign of ruthlessness, al- though she ‘has not carried it out against American interests. Besides that, it is considered that it would he quite impossible to have abroad in the United States on a friendly status the diplomatic and consular agents of Ger- many’s ally. Anti-American propaganda contin- ued by Austrian agents under Ger- man direction hag been no less of- fensive and scarcely less effective than the German propaganda itself. A clean break between the United States and Austria was some time ago recognized as the logical devel- opment, It ts qiute possible, however, that there may not be war-like operations between the forces of the two Govern- ments unless Germany, carrying further her domination of the Vienna Govern- ‘ment should force it.

Officials here expect no difficulties to be placed before Americans in Austria . and that all the American embassy of- ficials will be permitted to leave with- out restraint or inconvenience, owing to the decidedly friendly feeling that Aus- tria has shown despite German pres- sure. Austria has in this country about consular officers tn addition to her reg- ular embassy staff, not including clerks, attaches and families. Safe conduct for all will be arranged at once. 23 Cousulates to Be Closed. It is understood that while many of ~ Austrians will return home, some }may be sent to points in South and Centra! America.

RIO JANETRO, April 9—Up to 6 o'clock last evening the Foreign Office was, without confirmation from the Paris Legation in regard to the sinking of the Parana. The German Minister had a 60-minute conference with President Braz and Foreign Minister Lauro Mul- ler. The newspaper, A Noite, says that the conference caused no change in the attitude of the Government. The Commeree and Navigation Co., owners of the Parana, have received a cablegram from the captain of the steamer from Cherbourg, saying that, after the vessel was torpedoed, she was shells. The com- pany has turned the cablegram over to the Government. The Estado of Sao Paulo demands that Brazil range itself on the side of the United States ‘‘for the defense of the rights of neutral peoples who are temperamenta'ly opposed to action be- cause they understand nothing of their destiny ."’ Patriotic Demonstrations. Patriotic demonstrations were con- tinued throughout the dav but there was no disorder. In official circles no doubt is expressed that the Government will act decisively in accordance with jie warning to Germany when tnre- stricted submarine warfare was de- clared. In this connection the wording of a telegram sent by Dr. Lauro Muel- ler to the Brazilian legation in Berlin, on Feb. 15, is recalled. ; The telegram said: ‘“‘We will consider it essential to ine maintenance of friend- ly relations that no Brazilian ship be attaceked on the sea under any pretext, even that of carrying contraband o/7 war, as the belligerent nations have arbitrarily put everything into that category.” An indication that German may deny that the Parana was the victim of a German submarine is shown in state- ments appearing in the newspapers here and attributed to German diplomatic officials. According to these state- ments the Parana probably struck a french or English mine, as, it is con- tended, it is improbable that a German submarine would have been able to op- erate so close to Havre. The Minister is quoted as asserting that the testimony oi the commander of the Parana is open to suspicion because he is a Portuguese, There is little disposition here to take hese statements seriously and the news- papers continue to demand energetic ac- tion, a breach of diplomatic relations at the leasi. Some of the papers xpress impatience with the slowness of the Chancellery to _ take action. it is renorted in political circles that President Braz intends to issue an urg- ent.call for a special session of Con- Zrene. Mysterious Messages. § Noite says that the Minister of Ma- yme has received a report from the econmimander of the destroyer Alajoas, at “Desterro, that he had intercepted several mvVsterious wireless messages gent from an unknown station. The commander also reported that he had soéticed light signals flashing in the neighborhood of the Desterro forts, contrary to the military regulations gov- ernifig the forts. : The news that the Parana was shelled aftér she had been torpedoed has in- creased the indignation here over the In a special edition published after the cablegram from the ship's cumimander was received, A. Noite says: “The German assassins are incapable of the simplest act of humanity. It is impossible to maintain the slightest re- lations with such people.

LONDON, April 9.—A dispatch te the Exchange Telegraph Co. from The Hague says that Dr. Zimmermann, Ger- man Foreign Secretary, conferred for an-hour on Sunday with the Ministers of Brazil, Argentina and Chile. The dispatch says that it is thought in Berlin the conference was connected with a possible’ rupture of relations be- tween Germa and the three South American republics.

Another problem to be taken up will @e the distribution of farm labor so that men for farm work will be avail- able when and where they are needed. Possible improvements in methods, so as to assure bigger production, will be suggested to farmers, and they will be encouraged to study local conditions so as to make the greatest profitable use of their land, he said. “Tt ig clear,’’ he pointed out, “‘that the American farmers for some time to come must feed not only this country, other countries, and it will be neces- sary to do this for a considerable time after peace is declared. “Farmers should realize that the price which they will receive under these conditions will justify them in expend- ing money for improvements. This is not a back-to-the-farm movement. We are merely trying to speed up the ex~ isting agricultural elements. ‘There is a threatened shortage in the fall-planted wheat crop and we must encourage spring planting. We must keep the channels of distribution open to handle the larger production and we must see that manipulation and specu- lation do not dominate in the market- ing of the product.” “Without Feed Reserve.” “We are entering upon one of the greatest wars without a -eserve of food,’ declared Henry J. Waters, presi- dent of the Kansas State Agricultural College, to the conference. “Germany has spent years in accumu- lating a food reserve in preparation for this emergency,’’ he continued, ‘This country’s Visible supply of food, how- ever, will be consumed before another harvest. Should we have an unfavor- able season the United States would face the greatest food shortage since the Civil War. _ “The problem of supporting 2,000,000 men in army camps soon will confront us. We must feed our aqwn people at home while they produce munitions and equipment and we also must assist in supplying our allies with food. “The army necessaries—hard tack, pork and beans—must at once be in- creased. More beans must be grown, more pigs raised. Increased bread out- put can be attained by milling all the wheat to 81 per cent flour instead of 73 per cent as at present. The output over the present production can be increased 18,000,00) »arrels by so doing. “A large coving In saleable grain for fattening livesiock can be made by shut- ting down the breweries and distilleries. By closing the saloons and withdrawing their two principal sources of supply we would save annually 618,508,005 bushels of grain.” Increasing gardening, rapid extension of comrhunity canning clubs and en- couragement of potato acreage were among the other conservative measures advocated by President Waters. Campaign in Missorri. Jewell Mayes, secretary of thé Missouri Board of Agriculture, sai4i that an immediate campaign would be begun in Missouri to induce the farmers to increase their corn acre- age 20 per cent this year. He de- clared that 7,300,000 acres were plant- ed in corn .in Missouri last year. Any farmer, by a little extra effort, or by the use of improved machinery, could cultivate 20 per cent more corn, Mayes suggested, without hiring ex- tra help. He said also that there was a great shortage of farm labor in Missouri, and it would be neces- sary for the farmers to use the most modern farm machinery. / Charles W. Holman of Madison, Wis., secretary of the National Agri- cultural Organization Society, credit- ed with being one of the greatest ag- ricultural experts in the United States, said: Suawesta Subsidies for Farm. “An appeal should go out from this | i HG ire gees; ‘| : 3 ; . 7 | | ‘: | | Be ne ae * Fame : ~ — . ms but J Wisconsin Commission for National De- fense, declared that the war would be won with bread bullets, and that it was necessary for the United States, during the next four or five weeks, to put in crops sufficient to meet the needs of this country, France and England. ‘Millions of dollars should be spent in advertising,’’ he said. ‘“‘Not- only that, Lut subsidies should be provided for the farmers. When this country wanted to ‘imcrease production of manufactured ar- ticles, it passed tariff laws for the pro- tection of certain industries. “Therefore the Government ought to Say to the farmers or this country. by legislative enactment, that you wiil be guaranteed a certain price for your corn, wheat, potatoes and other food products.

Dr. John Clinton Futrall, president of the University of Arkansas, said that a very large part of the grain crops of Arkansas was already planted. “The indications are that every avail- able acre of farm land in Arkansas will be planted to crops thfs year,’’ Dr. Fu- trall said. ‘‘We have had a campaign to increase crop production for several months.

They swept over the German positions from the south of Arras northward on tke famous Vimy ridge, fighting for the possession of which cest the French 100,000 casualties earlier in the war. Once before the British gained the crest of this ridge but under a tremendous concentration of German guns they were compelled give it up. All winter lorg Canadians have held a footing on the ridge with the German lines looking down on them. All the fighting today was against dominating positions on high ground, some of which had been held by the Germans tor two years and was lavishly hemmed with wide belts of some of the toughest ond longest pronged barbed wire which has been seen ir. the war. The preliminary bombardment of- the} ridges attacked delivered before dawn proved to be ore ofthe greatest spec- tacles of the war. Theo firing at times exceeded that which marked some of the sturdiest battles of the Somme. The night sky was illuminated for hours by the continuous flash of guns. The at- tack was carried out in several phases The firet Hnes inad scarcely been entered when numbers of German prisoners be- gan to come back. Today's attack hit she northern ht ge of the recent Ger- man retreat from Arras to tho Aisne. The Germans evidently had expected a renewal of the offensive in the valley of the Somme, for in making the retreat in that sector they announced that they had completely -disarranged the Pritish offens'.« plans: Today's blow was Britain's anewer. The German defensive barrage fire was slow in starting notwithstanding frantic signals for help sent up with rockets all along the line. British guns had been hammering the Germans night and day for a week and most of their trenches were fairly pulverized. The prisoners taken were mostly Ba- varians, Wurttenburgers and Hamburg- era. After a beautiful and warm Easter Sunday the weather changed last night and today's attack was carried out in a pelting rain driven before a gale in which was the sting of January cold. | The airplanes which have accomplished low-lying clouds they could do little or nothing and after being tossed about severely they descended.

SUBMARINES| St. Louis Completes Round-Trip Voyage Without Firing a Gun; Escapes Mines. ALL AROUND U-BOATS Vessel Got Three “S. O. S.” Calls From Torpedoed Ships Off Irish Coast. NEW YORK, April 9.—Running safely through the dangers of the German sub- marine blockade of Great Britain and without sighting a periscope either on the outward or homeward journey, the American mail and passenger liner St Louis arrived at her home dock today. The St. Louis was the first American passenger boat to be armed and travel through the danger zone around the British Isles since Germany’s declaration of Jan. 31, and she was well armed for the trip.. But her guns were used on no German target. The homeward voyage was a stormy one. A hundred miles off the coast of Ireland, a gale threatened the destruc- tion of the lifeboats, which had been partly lowered, and it became necessary to lie to for two hours while they were made secure. This was an anxious time as the stop was made directly in the normal path of German submarines re- turning to their home base. “If I were hunting for submarines I could not have picked a more likely place to find them,” said a naval officer on board. But no submarines appeared. Sea Was Deserted. The St. Louis later steamed through Geserted seas, only two small steamers being sighted until American waters were reached. Now that the American ship has completed her memorable voyage it is impossible to tell how good luck probab- ly saved her from destruction. There appears no room for doubt that the German Admiralty knew of her de- parture and took steps to destroy her. The British patrol fleet knew this and so did those in gommand of the St. Louis before she was far into the war zone. Running at full speed during the night with the coast of Ireland and its submarine infested waters in the dis- tance, “S. O. S.”" calls of ships in dis- tress came to the watchful wireless op- erator of the St. Louis. A ship had been torpedoed about miles ahead of the St. Louis and directly in her path. Soon ancther call for help showed that another steamer had met the same fate a hundred miles south, while.later a third told of the destruction of a Brit- ish boat far to the westward out of the war Zone, and in the path the St. Louis had traveled. . The St. Louis arrived off tie bar of the Mersey before dawn. There was no pilot boat at hand and the American linér was compelled to steam outside the bar, where it was knowr a German submarine had been working the night before, until driven away by patrol boats. During this time a neutral steamer which had been in the harbor for about two weeks, had attempted to go to sea. She was caught dropping mines Inside the bar, 80 of them being strewn abcut, it was reported. Patroi boats picked up or destroyed all but two of these. Has Narrow Escape. About an hour later the British stean. er Kelvinhead crossed the bar, strucx one of the lost mines.and sank. The St. Louis could not have missed thi: mine by more than 2% feet. How she _-— i? BRITISH FLYERS CARRY WAR OVER ENEMY LINES OE A LER TN i RS A A Territory Air Craft Swarms Above Trenches Easter Day —QOne Squadron Penetrates German 50 Miles... By a Staff Correspondent of the Asso-| ciated Press. WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, April 8—Under a blue Easter sky beflecked only here and there with bits of filmy white cloud, British avia- tors by the hundred continued today their work of re-establishing beyond all question of doubt their supremacy in the air. They carried the fighting into the enemy territory, sought out their airdromes, military headquarters, am- munition depots and concentration Camps and challenged the Germans in every possible manner to come wp and fight. | In one instance the British fliers pene- trated 50 miles behind the German lines. They fairly flew circles cbout a numer- ically superior enemy squadron that sought to intercept; them. Speed- and maneuvering powers are one of the great qualities of modern airplane scouts, and to have a place with the elite of the upper air the machines must develop in the neighborhood of 150 miles an hour and be able to do tricks is flying that no bird ever accomplished. Germans Hide in Clouds. To the layman the weather seemed ideal for flying, but the airmen were inclined to complain because some of ‘the patches of clouds had enabled sev- eral hard-pressed German aviators to take refuge in their mist and escape immediate punishment. “Give us three or four cloudless days and we will hit the Boche airmen such a blow that they won't be able to re- cover all summer,” said a wing sub- altern to the correspondent today. The loss of 28 machines in two days’ bombing, fighting. photographing and observing is counted by the airmen as a small price to pay for the work ac- complished considering the number of machines engaged, coupled also with the fact that all these operations were with- in the German lines. Against the loss of the British ma- chines must be. placed 15 German air- planes actually seen to crash down and 31 driven down damaged, most of which are believed to have been destroyed. The British will not officially announce a hostile machine destroyed unless two or more of the fliers see the falling plane ablaze or watch it crash to the ground. Not Affected by Losses. When fliers are engaged in fighting, the formation is 2 or more machines, and when one begins to go down there is seldom time to watch the completion of its earthward journey. Under such conditions a hostile machine is not | cer their guidance on this Faster day counted in the total enemy casualties. | However, the British flying corps is ab- solutely unperturbed when its losses eX- ceed those of the enemy. The men philosophically regard this ag the pen- alty necessarily entailed in maintaining the offensive. Technically, the Germans tuke every risk means infor-nation for end rrotection of the army on the grctnd to an extent whicr they regard as amply repaying their sacrificus. Un- the British guns were roaring al! along the battle lines. It was a hriliiant day fur warfare as well as air iizhting. Such a day develops incidents beyon4 measure. Planes could be reen darting in and out of fleecy cloud banks, glint ing at times HNke bits of silver in the sunshine and flashing away almost with the speed of a sunbeam itse.f. The dis- tant patter of machine guns often told of fighting behind a cloud serecn or at such a height that the machines were lost to view. The task of suppressing the German airmen is greater today than {ft was a year ago, but the British have set about tec eccomplish it with all possible speed the British officers, and the amazed Americans were congratulated when they reache dtheir dock. It was the report around the Liver-+ pool docks that the vessel caught strewing mines was a Swedish boat. This wos not confirmed by the Britisn. Nor is the fate of the officers of the guilty ship known Those things are not given out or even talked about by England’s sailors. But the decision in their cases was probably not long de- layed. 30 Years for Munitions Destroyers, WASHINGTON, April 9.—The admin- istration bill imposing a penalty of 30 vears’ imprisonment of any person who destroys any war material in the United States in time of war was passed by debate. the Senate today in five minutes without Pm = --. 4 PHOTO PLAY THEATERS PHOTO PLAY THEATERS NEW GRAND CENTRAL ano tucas Direct from New York-——The 7-Act Thunderbolt ENLIGHTENMENT Endorsed by the Press, Clergy and Federation of Women’s Clubs of St. Louis and New York COMMENTS OF THE CLERGY AND PRESS— “y resentation 1s incomparable a (Signed) ren th ED.

HIMSELF T0 DIRECT AND SECRET BALLOT Liberation of Our Entire Inner Political Life Is Dear to My Heart, He Says; Would Wait Upon Warriors’ Return Home; Editors, Ex- cept Old Guard, Comment Favorably. By CYRIL BROWN A Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch and New York World. (Copyright, 1917, by Press Pub. Co.) BERLIN, April 9.—In his Easter message to the German nation the Kaiser. openly and unequivocally commits himself to a program of sweeping internal political reform, including the abolition of the three-class electoral system in Prussia, the reform of the Prussian House of Lords and the intro- duction of a direct and secret ballot for elections to the Prussian Diet. It is safe to say that the Kaiser'never did a more popular thing and it comes at the psychological moment. “In view of the gigantic deeds of the entire people, there ts no more room in Prussia for elections by the classes,”’ the Kaiser declares. ‘‘Reform of the Prussian Diet and liberation of our en- tire inner political life are especially dear to my heart. . Upon Return of Our Warriors. “At the outbreak of the war, at my reqjuest, preparatory work for the re- form of the electoral law of the lower House had already begun. I charge you ‘Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg) now to submit to me definite proposals | from the ministry, so that, upon the re- turn of our warriors, this work which is fundamental for the internal forma- tion of Prussia, be carried out by legis- lation. “It will bo essential. also, to provide for direct and secret election of Depu- tices. The merits of the upper House, and its steadfast significance to the state, no King of Prussia will mis- judge. But the upper House will be better avle to do justice to the gigan- tic demands of the coming time if it has in its membership a more extended representation of v arious classes and vo- cations, chosen from men who hold the regard’ of their fellow-citizens.”’ ' The pledge to the people is the one feature of the papers today, completely eelipsing ‘the war with America and all other news, and the German editors, more or less scenting its epoch-making importance, hail it with joy—all except the Old Guard mouthpieces, which are guardedly reserved. Editor Wolt('s View. Skimming the bulk of the Berlin press, ene finds Theodor Wolff of the Tage- blatt placing the fittrnost importance on the Kaiser's confession that there is ho longer room in Prussia for the class electoral system. Wolff writes: “Buch a declaration is binding. It binds every government that may come: it cannot be wiped out again. We had wished that one might have started im- mediately to work to materialize this promise without hesitation, but the val- ue of the promise is, nevertheless, by no means slight. ‘The reform of the insiaicin electoral syetem its, however, only one of the problems, to be solved. In addition to the remodeling of Prussia, the reshaping of the forms in which the German em- | pire is to beegoverned is becoming daily more of an imperative necessity. “The road leads clearly to a share in the Government and a share in the re- sponsibility on the part of she people's ‘representatives: to that method of gov- ernment which all other civilized states have tong had and which is unknown only in Germany. Ne Weakening of Monarchy. “It is an error to think that pariia- mentary government can be permanent- ly dispensed with; it is an error to be- lieve that a good foreign policy is pos- sible today for a country which, through its state institutions, differentiate itself from the rest of the world and suffers an atmosphere of strangeness to con- tinue between it and other nations; above all, it is an error to see in such general manhood suffrage already pre- vails and votes for women are not at present an issue. is considered a concession to the con-. servative pressure and would seem to indieate that Von Bethmann’s project, which has found the Emperor's approv- al, is along lines which some of the con- servatives have indicated would be ac- ceptable, namely, for a diluted suffrage in which extra votes would be given for service and for other special qualifica- tions. The property interests, by these additional votes, running as high as five, would be able to save something: of the rower whereby the junkers dominated the Prussian Diet. and, through it, the Imperial Government. thrown as-a sop to patriotic sentiment, was that an extra vote be granted wear- ers of the Iron Cross. Kaiser’s Reform Presta + the Prussian eonservattves who are an- nouncing more or less vaguely their readiness. to co-operate in an alterna- tive Prussian three-class franchise after the war. Notwithstanding the Chancellor’s ap- peal, the vote in the Reichstag just be- fore the Easter recess showed an oveér- whelming majority for the immediate introduction of a reform bill, and it is doubtful if its advocates can be dis- suaded even by the Imperial pledge. “Universal,” “Equal,” Missing. The Imperial rescript is noteworthy for absence of two of the four adjec- tives in the clagsic formulate for elec- toral reform—‘‘universal, equal, secret, Girect ballot’’—the Emperor committing himself only to the abolition of three- class. The ommission of the word ‘‘uni- versal” is not especially significant, as But the avoidance of the word ‘‘equal!”’ property, educational and public One suggestion, Would Be Advantageous. The adoption by Prussia of the secret ballot, however, would be a great ad- vantage over the present system, land- holders of the junker class having been able to add to their dominant position in elections carried on through the three- class system by control of the third or lowest voting curia in the country dis- tricts, the peasant farm hands not dar- ing to vote openly against candidates of their employers. xpected t Have Useful Effect Abroad. x AMSTERDAM, April 9—The Emperor's Easter message on electoral reform, ad- dressed to Chancellor von Bethmann- Hollweg, is treated by the Berlin press as of the highest importance. The onls paper which expresses dissatisfaction is the Kreuz Zeitung, which finds little consolation in the fact that the execu- tion of the reform proposal is postponed until after the war, as it believes the Chancellor should not now hait on the path of the complete democratization of Prussia and Germany. The Lokal Anzeiger thinks that the message will have a useful effect abroad. ‘“‘No one can interfere with our affairs,”” says this paper, “while we heve a strong and self-conscious mon- arch who finds the right way at the right time.”’ The Vossische Zeitung says that the v.- “MONDAY svaNiKe, APRIL 9, 1917. - First New York Navaf Reserve Unit Off for oea Duty | Bs oi First Battalion of the destination.’’ Naval Militia of New York swinging around Columbus Circle on way to ‘‘point of This is the first Naval Reserve unit or- route of march. —~Copyright by Underwood & Underwooc. dered into Federal service: tion and training ship, the Granite State, in happy frame of mind and were cheered by large throngs along the The men left their home sta- 4 DEFENDANTS IN ARSON CONSPIRACY CASES 60 TO TRIAL Charged With Plotting to Burn Gilmore-Bonfig Establishment in 1915 for Insurance. The trial of three of the defendants in the arson conspiracy cases which have been pending since arrests were made in November, 1915, began this morning in Judge Shields’ court. It ‘s thought that the selection of jurors will take two days, and the witnesses, num- bering about 60 for the State and # for the defense, were excused until Wednes- day. Julius R. Bersch of 6731 Von Versen avenue, insurance agent: Harold G. Gil- more of 3606 Olive street, former pro- prietor of the Gilmore-Bonfig Decorat- ing Co., and Harry C. Imel of 722 Au- bert avenue, a former usiness associate of Gilmore, are the defendants. All are accused of arson in the third degree, for which the possible punishment ranges from a six months’ jail term to life imprisonment. The charge is that the three con- spired to destroy the contents of the Gilmore-Bonfig establishment, 4455 Olive street, by fire, and that the stock, which, the State contends was worth not more than $10,000, was insured for $35,000, a considerable part of the insurance be- ing placed shortly before-the fire, which occurred July 24, 1915. Edward Milner, also known as Ben Miller, charged with being the ‘‘torch,”’ or active incendiary in the case, was indicted with Bersch, Gilmore and Imel, but took a severance and will be tried separately. The present defendants were placed on trial before Judge Kimmel a year ago, but a mistrial was declared when jurors reported that they had received anon- ymous letter attacking the defendants and the Judge. The cases were again delayed last February, because several witnesses could not be found. Some of these are said to be now on hand. Herbert O. Baker of Webster Groves, self-confessed arson promot- er, and formerly an employe of Bersch’s office, will be a leading wit- ness for the prosecution. Baker has been a somewhat erratic witness, and has suffered in the past from lapses of memory, although the State holds in- dictments over him as an incentive to RUCKER RESIGNS AS ASSISTANT Director Swingley Says Positive- ly He Will Not Resume Old Position. er, 75 years old, who has been connect- ed with the Fire Department since 1869, today handed his resignation to Chief Frank E. Henderson with the announce- ment that, as Henderson was to be re- moved, he did not wish to remain a member of the department. Rucker said to reporters that he con- sidered Henderson the best Chief the de- partment ever had had, and thought he should be permitted to remain at the head of the department. He said that as he was getting old, he did not wish to serve under a new man. He entered the department at.about the same time as Charles E. Swingley, Director of Public Safety, whom Afayor Kiel has recently planned to restore to his old position as. Chief of the Fire Depart- ment. Director Swingley, who soon wil! be succeeded by Building Commissioner McKelvey, announced positively this morning that he would not accept his old job as chief, and that_he probably would retire to his 93-acre farm in St. Louis County: for the remainder of his life. Has Neo Hard Feeling. Swingley said he would retire without a feeling of animosity toward anybody. “Tt is sufficient reward for me to have the good will: of the men in the fire department, with whom I have worked since 1869,’ he said. He was asked if he believed it to be to the best interests of the fire depart- ment to remove Chief Henderson. “Yes,’’ he replied, ‘‘I believe that would be proper. There has been a lack of teamwork, and there has been dissatis- faction among the men which hag in- terfered with the efficiency of the de- partment. When stch a condition exists it usually is due to the head of the de- partment. : “T shall retire with only the best of feeling toward Mayor Kiel.

Army Officers Expect to Complete Examination of First Regiment by Friday. Out of 300 members of the First Regi- ment, examined by United States army officers for remustering only 16 have been pronounced unfit for service. The disqualification in most instances was flat foot or defective eyes. Yesterday the supply comipany, the machine gun company and K Company were exam- ined. Headquarters Cumpany and D and BE. Companies are being examined to- day. It is expected the army officers will complete their work-by Friday and the remustering of the regiment will be completed soon after. Thursday night there will be a recruit- ing rally at the armory with moving pictures, speech-making and dancing. Applications for enlistment may be made at this meeting. The First Regiment’s recruiting cam- paign was resumed today, when the sta- tion at 701 Locust street was reopened under command of Lieut. Sodemann, and a station was opened at Union Station with Lieut. Reinholdt in charge. Capt. Larimore, who is in charge of the company on guard at the Alton Bridge today, reported that his men were heing well cared for by women’s civic organizations in Alton. Yesterday these organizations sent to the soldiers 100 Easter eggs, % pies, 16 large cakes and several bunches of bananas.

IRISHMAN HURRAHS FOR KAISER; STRUCK BY GERMAN-AMERICAN He Explains in Police Court He Was Drusnk—Both He and His As- sailant Fined. Daniel Kavanaugh of 4% Penrose HOW DETECT TRAILED SUSPEETS IN VIVIAN CASE Pete, the Barber, Sam, the Tailor and Leo, the Fruit Merchant Found in Railway Camp. How Detective David Nolan, working the barber: Sam, the tailor. and Leo, the fruit merchant, to Garretson. S. D., and from there to a railroad section camp near Russell,. Minn., reads like a chapter from one of those adventurous narratives of fiction in which President Wilson and other men of big affairs now and then find diversion. * ° For a synopsis of the preceding phases of the Viviano case it might be recalled briefly that Frank Viviano, 8 years old, son of Gaetano Viviano, wealthy spa- gett! manufacturer, who was kidnaped man avenue, March 1, and who was found by a priest 13. days later at Thir- teenth and O’Fallon streets, pointed out a tenement house at 1008 High street as the place where he had been imprisoned while the kidnapers were negotiating ransom. tenement that Detective Nolan took up the trail of the barber, tailor and fruit merchant. Girl Gives Clew. People living in the neighborhood re- called that three Italians who had rent- ed the room which served as the Vivi- ano boy’s prison had been on friendly terms with Pauline Jacobs, 15 years old, who lived with her parents in a house across the yard from the tenement. had moved to Alton a few days before the kidnaping. Nolan located her and she furnished him. with a description of the three men. The description fitted that of the three men who had spirited the Viviano boy away in a wagon when he was on his way to school. She knew them, however, only as Pete, the barber: Leo, the fruit merchant, and Sam, the tailor. Leo and Pete had invited her to picture shows, but her parents had not permitted her to go. Nolan’s next step was to consult the barbers’ register at the office of the State Barber Board. The list included a dozen Italians with the given name of Pete. Nolan traced all but one to shops in the city.” The missing one was Pete Orlando. Tne records of various labor agents were then consulted. At a place on Walnut street Nolan found that Pete Orlando had shipped out as a section hand with 39 other Italians. The names beneath that of Orlando on the list at- tracted Nolan’s attention. They were Sam Vitale and Leo Zito. Nolan was convinced that he had struck the trail of the Pete, Leo and Sam mentioned by Miss Jacgbs. He was further inter- ested in the three names when he learned that the men had shipped out with a section gang March 4, just three days after the kidnaping. It occurred to the detective as significant that a tailor who had earned $23 a week. a $20-a-week barber and a fruit merchant had taken jobs as $1.50-day laborers. Goes to North Dakota. Following information obtained at the labor agency Nolan went to Garret- son, South Dakota, to which point the gang had been shipped. There he learned that the laborers had been shipped by the Great Northern to Rus- sell, Minn. There Nolan found Orlando’s ward- robe contained garments and jewelry which had been described in detai! by Miss Jacobs. He was foreman of the gang. Nolan posed as a railroad offi- cial and, through Pete, found Sam and Leo. The latter answered Miss Ja- cobs’ description even to a dimple in his chin. Nolan next had a postcard photo tak. en of the three men and sent it to the Viviano home Frank said that the picture resembled the men who had kidnaped him. The prisoners denied all knowledge of the kidnaping and said that they had never heard of Miss Jacobs. She wil! have a chance to look at them. They were brought to St. Louis last night. on the Viviano kidnaping, trailed Pete, | a few blocks from his home, 5855 Water- } MAYOR TELLS MAKING A OF PLANS. i a TO SPEND $20,000,000 IN, GREATER CIT!

Popular approval given to him at the recent election, when he was re- turned to office by the largest plu- rality, save one, ever recorded in St. Louis, and the new spirit evidenced in the closer relationship of civic and commercial organizations that for- merly were irreconcilable, Mayor Kiel says, affords him assurance that his program. of development should be realized in legislation and actual ac- complishment by the time he is readv to puit the mayoralty in 1921. The biggest and most important of the undertakings to which the Mayor will devote himself in his second term involve such large expenditures that they cannot be financed from municipal revenues. It would be necessary to vote bonds to raise the funds required and also to spread over the years to come the cost, as well as the benefits they will repre- sent. The second category of improve- ments promised by Mayor Kiel in- cludes those which may be authorized and paid for by ordinance and which contemplate only relatively small outlays. Enterprises Proposed. Here is the order in which Mayor Kiel, in an interview yesterday with a Post- Dispatch reporter, enumerated the big enterprises that must ve sanctioned and financed by a bond issue: 1. Conversion of River des Peres into a sewer, the construction of an industrial railroad along its east and north banks, and the development of drives’ connecting with King’s high- way boulevard. ” The sewérage of vasipus parts of the city in which no provision for drainage has been made or in which present systems are inadequate. 3. A municipal farm for the physi- cal and moral gestoration of drunk- ards, drug habitues and other simi- lar delinquents. 4. Development of the present sys- tem of parks and playgrounds, swim- ming pools and public baths, 5. A municipal convention hall as a strong trump in bringing to St. Louis national gatherings of every kind. 6. Building of a southern approach to the free bridge and the reclama- tion of the river front for docks, municipal terminals and an indus- trial district. which begins These several improvements would re- quire between $15,000,000 and $16,000,000) The margin between the present bonds} «- indebtedness and the constitutional limi¢«~ is about $16,000,000. “cd tai Other propositions have been advo i cated and have even taken the form of... more or less definite plans, but thers have not received official approval. atsku, would necessitate such ‘arv’e expendi- » tures that they are not likely to be com os sidered by Mayor.

Mrs. Jennie Howard Parker Wells, 5 years old, of 4228 Lindell boulevard, wife of Rolla Wells, Federal Reserve Bank Governor and former Mayor of St. Louis, died at St. Luke’s Hospital yes- terday afternoon. She had been a pa- tient there since March 31 and an opera- tion for intestinal trouble was performed last Thursday. Mrs. Wells had been ill only a few days when she was taken to the hospital. : Funeral services will be held at 2 p. m. Tyesday at the residence, with in- terment in Bellefontaine Cemetery. The Rev. J. Layton Maize will officiate. Rolla Wells and Miss Jennie Howard Parker were married in 1378. Their chil- dren are Erastus, Lioyd Wells, Mrs. J. Clark Streett, Mrs. Tom EK.

The subcommittee which was instructed to select the list of propositions to be financed by a bond issue has been in existence since last July. ““™ “f feel sure that there is little dis- agreement or chance for differences as to what St. Louis needs in the way of permanent improvements, and develop- ments that will increase the city oppor- tunities,” continued the Mayor. “The only question is one that touches meth- ods—whether the work should be done as a whole, promptly and economically ~—which means through a bond issue—or whether we should adopt a policy of progress by fits and starts. “During the recent campaign I spoke —e - WADAYAS ER A EIR REY NW A ea ey ee @s.%.*%,%,8, 7%, 4a%*.8% POS NPANOA NS 2 * 77 4 v;/,. vet?

All the big undertakings that I have men- tioned as among the coming adminis- tration’s tasks were promised in the platform of the Republican party. My associates on the ticket are pledged, like myself, to fulfill these promises. There is no intention or disposition to do any- thing else. Popular Approval Needed. “All the obstacles that confront us are embraced in the one difficulty of obtaining popular approval for a bond issue. If the voters and taxpayers will take the broad view that these improvec- ments will draw thousands of new peo- ple and millions of money to St. Louis and thus return to every Individual citi- zen a big dividend in Gash and addi- fional ovportunities for the trifle of extra expense he will impose on’ him- self, we shall have traveled more than halfway to success, “That's the difficulty, then, is the remedy: “Let the newspapers, commercial and civic urganizations, interests and indi- viduals, and all elements and sections of the city strive to carry the bond issue. “A big educational campaign is need- ed to inform the public just what things of all that the city needs are to be started and brought into being. I know that St. Loutsans are eager to make the city bigger and better, but they need some enlightenment as to the par- ticular improvements and investments that will yield the most advantages, and concerning the cost of these. That's what a city-wide, vigorous, popular campaign of education would do. This brings me back to the big point, which is that, if we get the bond issue, the people’s officials will give the people the improvements. “The improvements and benefits that can be provided from municipal rev- enue need give little concern. For the most part they are things which have been discussed in the campaign and are favored by the public at large. Most of the Aldermen in the next board are committed to them. “River de Peres should be e!iminated as an eyesore, a detriment to the health and growth of a very large section of the city. The conversion of this stream into a sewer, from the point of its en- trance into the city at Clemens avenue to thé Mississippi River, is chiefly a financial problem. The engineering de- tails have been worked out and a close estimate of the cost has been made. With the industrial railroad that it is intended to build along the bank of the stream and the establishment of a sys- tem of streets and drives to the south- west part of the city, the whole outlay will be about $8,000,000. “The immediate advantage of this ex- penditure, aside from better sanitation, would be the réclamation of about 800 acres of land for industrial purposes and the creation of a new residential dis- trict where now it is impossible to live or do business. The owners of the prop- erty will profit by increase in values and the city at large by greater revenues. Every class and community will derive a benefit. 31,000,000 for Sewers. “The city ought to spend $3,000,000 for additional sewers to give drainage for new, or replace defective sewerage in old sections of the city, but if $1,000,000 were voted for that purpose the most pressing needs of the next decade would be met. In my calculations I have made $1,000,000 the figure for new sew- ers. “A municipal farm is needed for our delinquents whose offenses do not war- rant their confinement in the workhouse or who would be neither morally nor physically improved by such punishment. The plan of making such persons self- supporting, while at the same time they are recovering their moral and physical stamina, has been demonstrated to be a success. It is a humane and economical method of dealing with these strays. I have placed the cost of this farm at $300, 000 “Everyone understands nowadays that parks and playgrounds are an invest- ment in behalf of the health and morals of our young people. St. Louis has a magnificent system of these recrea- | tional centers, but we are outgrowing them and the increase in population in the next few years will make it impera- tive to enlarge our park area and sup- plement our facilities. For that reason I think $2,000,000 is by no means an over-generous sum for additional parks, playgrounds, swimming pools and baths. “It may be hard to trace the direct connection between publicity and growth and thi know that the city that is widely and favorably advertised grows rapidly and bushel remains stationary or falls back. \ municipal convention hall is one of the means of bringing the outside world’s notice to the opportunities to be found here. The convention hall itself would be an object lesson of our pro- gressiveness and at the same time the means of attracting people to the city. I have set down $1,000,000 as the sum we ought to invest in this hall. “Engineers and other experts believe that the free bridge cannot be made to give the maximum of benefits to St Louis unless terminals owned by the city, as the bridge itself is, are estab lished. The reclamation of the river front, by building a sea wall to the har- bor line, on the level with Third street, from Washington avenue to Poplar street, and the construction of docks farther south, would provide the room for these terminals and other facilities, including sites for warehouseg, factories and depots. A southern approach to the free bridge, from yards in the neigh- borhood of Barton street, is a necessary part of this plan. I regarded $2,000,000) as sufficient for a start, but it might be that a larger ariount can be voted. City Garbage Piant. “Now, I think the two big proposi- tions depending on appropriaticyos from out of municipal revenue are a munici- pal garbage plant and the aboftion of grade crossings. St. Louis ought to have the garbage problem settled correctly and permanently. This can be done, too, by erecting and operating a municipal plant. Other cities have shown the way and we-can follow without fear of mal- ing a costly and unsatisfactory experi- ment. “Grade crossings that remain, like along the Wabash and Rock Island roads, from Union boulevard to the western city limits, and along the Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain, can be eliminated by a policy of negotia- tion. These railroads are willing to be- the city offers to bear a proportion—and that proportion less than a third—of the cost. On that basis the elimination of the grade crossings on the Wabash west of Union boulevard would cost the city only about $400,000 or $500,000. “T have put the adjustment of our controversy with the United Railways in the second place on this ‘legislative’ program, but it is of prime importance and urgency that we do something to improve the street car service in St. Louis. The company is willing; the peo- ple, I know, want More cars and more mileage of tracks, and the people’s offi- cials in the municipal government are eager to work for a fair Arrangement that will preserve all the city’s rights and at the same time give the. com- pany a chance to readjust and untangle its finances. That is only a broad state- ment of the case; but I am confident that we shall get an early settlement. “The building of a municipal loop is not difficult, either as a piece of en- gineering or in financial respects. The route has not been determined, largely because there has been no pressing need of it, but it is a detail that need require no great time or controversy. I think $150,000 is an ample allowance for this improvement. “In keeping with the pledge in the city platform we shall sprinkle the streets as a municipal activity; and as a charge against the genera! revenue instead. of: from special taxation. The change will] # . be more efficient and more economical. “T gaid the day after my re-election that I wanted the co-operation of every- one in St. Louis—Democrats, Repub- licans and Socialists; those in North St. Louis, South St. Louis and West 5t. Louis, and of all the newspapers and organizations. This will be needed especially in passing the bond issue. |] can promise that if the people will vote authority and money, the next adminis- tration will begin and complete every improvement I have enumerated.” To make way for the selling.

PLEASED BY WAR. STEP Firmly Upheld Monroe Doctrine When in Office Under President Cleveland. \ BOSTON, April: 9. —Richard Olney, Statesman. once Secretary of State and always a noted student of international affairs, died at his home heére at’ 8:45 o'clock last night. Word of his death was not given to the public untii today. lie was 82 years old. The end came after a protracted pe- riod of intense suffering which had failed, however, to shake his courage or g00d humor or to divert his mind from ‘the intense interest which he had main- tained in the quarrel with Germany. Three days ago he lapsed into semi-con- sciousness, with a smile on his face. He _ had just been advised of the President’s message to Congress asking that a state of war be recognized and his joy was unbounded. It was the consummation of his most earnest hope. Throughout his final illness up to late Thursday, Ol- rey’s mind had remained perfectly clear. Olney served successively as Attorney- General and Secretary RICHARD OLNEY State Department for the short period of one year and nine months only, he won reputation as a statesman of com- manding ability and force. His greatest triumph was his successful insistenc2 upon arbitration of the boundary dis- put between Great Britain and Ven- ezuela. Upheld the Monroe Doctrine. Imperturbably disregarding the warn- ings that a rigid maintenance of the Monroe Doctrin2 might plunge the Unit- ed States into war with Great Britain, President Cleveland and Secretary Ol- hey carried out their -~wn ideas of diplomacy. In his famous message sent through Ambassador Bayard to Lord Salisbury, British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Olney, premising the inalienable right of the United States to intervene in questions affecting the territorial intezrity of South American countries, said in part: “Great Britain both admits that there is a controversy and that arbitration should be resorted to for its adjustment. But while up to that point her attitude feaves nothing to be desired, its prac- tical effect is completely nullified by her insistence that the submission shall cov- a condition of arbitrating her right to @ part of the disputed territory, the re- minder shall be turned over to her. Upon what principle—except her feeble- ness as a nation—is Venezuela to be de- nied the right of having the claim heard and passed upon by an impartial tribu- nal? ‘It is so, because I will it be so,’ Seems to be the only justification Great Britain offers.” Although Lord Salisbury at first re- fused to ‘submit(to the American de- mand, upon further representations he receded from his attitude and agreéd to the arbitration of the entire dispute. Olney’s firmness previously had be- come familiar to the American public through his action in the great Chiaago railroad strike and subsequent riots, when, as Attorney-General he uphel: the right and duty of the Government to employ troops to crush the disorder. In refutation of charges that this attitude indicated his hostility to labor unions, Olney, in & special brief filed in a Federal Court in Pennsylvania in the case of a railroad trainmen’s strike on the Reading Hailroad, only five months after the end of the Chicago strike, upheld the right of labor to or- ganize and urged that all labor troubles should be arbitrated. _ Ranked High as Lawyer. Olney was born in Oxford, Mass., in 1855. His father was a textile manufac- turer and banker. In the years follow- ing his graduation from the Harvard law school in 1858, Olney won high dis- tinction in his profession and became an authority on matters of probate, trust and corporation law. His sole appear- ance in public office before going to Washington was in 1875, when he served one term in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. When, in i904, he permitted the presen- tation of his name at the Demotratic national convention as a candidate for the presidential nomination, he received $8 votes, including the solid support of the Massachusetts delegation. President Wilson urged him to accept appoint- ment as Ambassador te Great Britaia and later offered him the position of goyernor of the Federal Reserve Board, but. in each instance Olney declined. - His public utterances always coim- manded thoughtful attention and at- tracted widespread comment. Long aft- er his retirement from his comparatively brief career in public office, Olney’s counsels were eagerly sought by mem- bers of the Democratic party. Olney in Message Presidtnt Praises to Widow. WASHINGTON, April 9.—President iilson, on being informed of the death of Richard Olney, former Secretary of State, sent the following telegram to Mrs. Olney, his widow: “T am sure that I am expressing the opinion of the whole country when I express to you my heartfelt grief at the death of your distinguished hus- band. I had relied upon him for coun- sel and the whole nation honored his wisdom and patriotism in affairs. A great citizen has passed away.”’ DAVE MONTGOMERY NEAR DEATH CHICAGO, April 9.—Dave Montgom- ery of the famous theatrica' team 2f Montgomery & Stone, is near death in the Presbyterian Hospits!, according tu physicians. For a week he has been in a stupor, following an operation two weeks ago. Years ago, when the circus was the chief form of public amusement, Dave played the circus, and he was a star. When minstrelsy was in the ascendancy, Dave became a minstrel. In 1995 he teamed up with Fred Stone, and to- gether they later made stage history in “The Wizard of Oz.” After ‘The Wiz- ard of Oz’’ came “The Red Miil,”” which had a three-year run. Then came “The Old Town" and finally “Chin Chin.” Gyazinman’s Stray Shot, ile Man. Deering, 45 years old, a business man, was killed late Saturday night by a stray bullet fired by John T. Kelly, a national guardsman on duty in this section. ‘Kelly declared he fired at a tramp who attempted to escape after 7 being ordered to halt, “Reve, er but a part of the controyersy; that as: te 'AUSTRIAN CONSUL READY TO DEPART Dr. John Schwegel Awaits Word of Break; 100,000 Persons in His Jurisdiction Here. Dr. John Schwegel, Consul of Aus- tria-Hungary in £t. Louis, said to a Post-Dispatch reporter this morning that he was ready to return to his country as. soon as he received tele- graphic instructions from the Austro- Hungarian embassy at Washington. The Consul was at the St. Louis Club when a reporter asked him about his departure. He had not heard that his country had severed its relations with the United States. Many Subjects Here. The affairs of the Austro-Hungarian consulate, in the Kialto Building, at Fourth and Olive streets, will be turned over to the Consul of a neutral coun- try, probably Sweden. Five clerks are employed in the office, which is an im- portant one, because of the large num- ber of subjects of the empire living in St. Louis and East Side manufacturing cities. Figured in Dumba Recall. The name of Consul Schwegel figured in the recall of Dr. Constantin, Dumba, the Austrian Ambassador in the United ' States, in September, 1915. It was men- tioned in a letter the Ambassador had written to Baron Burian, Austrian For- eign Minister, and was among letters intercepted by England and taken from Dumba’s American messenger, J. F. J. Archibald. In writing of the question of the sale of munitions, and of Secretary Lan- sing’s note to Austria on this matter, Dr. Dumba said that a return to the question would be useless, and “having regard to the self-willed temperament of the President harmful.’ ‘In this mat- ter,’’ the Ambassador's letter continued, “IT agree entirely with the view ex- pressed by Consul Schwegel in a report attached. The President has broken all bridges behind him.”’ Consul Schwegel’s report, attached to the Ambassador’s correspondence, was on the subject of violations of neutral- ity. It was printed in full in the Post- Dispatch, Sept. 23, 1915. After conceding; that the delivery of munitions to the allies from the United States would con- tinue undisturbed, Consul Schwegel wrote: ‘‘Nevertheless, it is inadvisable to give up this agitation or allow the fact that there exists a friendly preju- dice in favor of the allied Governments to slip out of sight, or to be forgot- ten.”’ Man Ends Life by 567-Foot Jump.

A INNES NN OS MRS. REISINGER SAYS RADIO OUTFIT WAS A STUDENT'S Declares Employe Who Put [t on Roof of Her Home Was Learn- ing Aerial Telegraphy. SHE HAD IT REMOVED Federal Agents Announce Find- ing of Man Who Was Op- erator of Apparatus. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of tho Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 9.—Coincident with the — of a statement yesterday by Mrs. Hugo Reisinger of 93 Fifth ave- nue regarding a wireless apparatus which had been installed in her resi- dence, it was learned that secret service agents, acting under Chief William J. Fiynn, had found her former servant, Alexander Kagan, the radio operator. Kagan is said to have dismantled the wireless, the aerials of which had been strung between two chimneys on the roof of Mrs. Reisinger’s home, @epposite the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and to have had the instruments with him when found. Where he was found was not disclosed. It is stated that he is an electrician, and that the wireless set’was equipped with a De Forest audient detector. Ex- periments with similar types of wire- less, £0 equipped, have shown, secret service operatives say, that messages sent from Nauen, Germany, can be picked up here. Federal Agents See Mra.

She replied she had ordered its removal when she dis- covered it. Yesterday a New York World of the late Adolphus Busch of St. Louis. She declared that her son, Kurt H. Reis- inger, who is treasurer of. the Father- land Corperation, publisher of George Sylvester Veireck’s pro-German weekly, had nothing to do with installing the wireless apparatus. After the assertion that there is no wireless instrument in her house, or in any building in which she is interested in any way, the statement issued by Mrs. Reisinger continues: ‘Upward of a year ago I had in my employ a second man sent t» me by the sume agency from which I hate been securing my servants for over 20 years. This man, I was informe.], was, while in my employ, attending the wireless school of the Young Men's Christian As- sociation in Eighty-sixth street, in this city, to improve his station. Unknown to me he installed a small wireless ap- paratus on the roof of my house, such as hundreds of boys have for practice. “As soon as I discoverel this appa- ratus I prohibited him from using it and ordered it removed from my roof. This all occurred over 15 monchs ago, anid about 11 months ago this man ieft my employ and I have not heard from him since. The assertion that I was in any way implicated in receiving wireless messages of any sort eithor for German officials or for anyone else is sheer non- sense or willful misrepresentation.” Outfit Dicovered Last Yeur.. Secret service operatives have been more or less interested ‘n the nome of Mrs. Reisinger since August, 1915, when the New York World pub'tshed letters in which Dr. Heinrich F. Albert, finan- cial adviser of the German embassy in Washington, figured. It was learned thta Count von Bernstor?’’, Cavt. von Pepen, Capt. Boy-Ed, Yr.

S, EMBASSY | They March There Headed by Bands , and Acclaim New War Ally. ROME, April 9.—Great crowds headed by bands marched Saturday night to the tesidence of» Thomas Nelson Page, the American Ambassador, where they en- thusiastically acclaimed President Wil- son and the United States as a new al- ly. The Ambassador Mrs. Page appeared with the embassy staff on a balcony, from which waved American and Italian flags. Replying to the address of a deputa- tion Ambassador Page said that al- though? separated by more than 3000 miles, America and Italy always had béen allies in the cause of liberty, “which now is imperiled by the forces of reaction and autocracy, bent upon the subjugation of democracy throughout the world by attempting to extend their unholy tyranny over Europe and alec over the high | seas.’ . WOMAN SAYS SHE TRIED THEM. ALL ‘‘Fanlac Is the Best Medicine I Have Ever Taken,’’ Mrs. Mary E. Buster, East St. Louis, Tells Her Friends. ‘Statement after statement is now 7 being made in St. Louis and nearby . street, East St. Louis. cities by persons who have been benefited by Tanlac, the new medi- cine that is being so widely used ‘and so widely discussed in this city. Among those who have publicly en- dorsed Tanlac on April 4 was Mrs. Mary E. Buster, 237 North Ninth Mrs. Buster’s husband is employed at the Hast St. ‘Louts bottling works, and the fam- ily ts well known on the Bast Side. Mrs. Buster said: “For four years I suffered severe- ly with stomach and kidney trouble. Almost everything I ate caused dis- comfort in the stomach. I was sub- ject to attacks of heartburn that al- most maddened me. I was very restless and slept poorly. I was so nervous that the least excitement caused me great annoyance. At times I experienced a choking sen- sation. The kidney trouble caused intense pains in my back and sides. “Tanlac appealed to me because ~ T had read in the papers of the won- derful work it was accomplishing for people whom I know, and I decided to try it. My relief has been little short .of -wonderful. I have taken two bottles of Tanlac and feel bet- ter in every respect. The stomach trouble has been relieved, my food now agrees with me and I have a good appetite. Since I started on the second bottle of Tanlac I have not been bothered with heartburn. I now sleep soundly and am not so nervous or easily excited. The kid- ney. trouble has been relieved. “Tanlac is the best medicjne I ever took; and I have tried them all.” Mrs. Buster’s statement is typical of scores of others now being made daily by men and women of St. Louis and vicinity who have been benefited by Tanlac. This new preparation is becoming more popular in St. Louis daily and large crowds are visiting the Seventh and St. Charles streets drug store of the Johnson-Enderle- Pauley Co., where an expert is ex- plaining the new medicine to the local public. "Tanlac is an appetizer, invigorant, tonic and system purifier. tts use at this season of the year, when all mankind is in need of a system purifier, has been recom- mended by thousands. Yanilac is now being introduced and explained by an expert at the Seventh and St. Charles streets store ef the Johnson-Enderle-Pauley Drug Co. It also may be obtained at the eight other stores of Johnson- Enderle-Pauley Co., . Wolff-Wilson Drug Co.,° Sixth and Washington; Keifer Drug Co., Broadway and Wranklin; Victor Pharmacy and Goedde’s drug stores, Wellston.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April %.—Twice yester- Cay assemblages, 20,000 strong, leaprd to their feet in the pine savings and sawdust of the great wooden tabernacle at Broadway and 168th etreet and pro: claimed with hands and throats their approbation of Billy Sunday. And twice, with a happy smile, he sa- luted them with his swinging arms. For the ambition of his life was realized. Tie had come to New York, faced the predicted scoffing and indifference of the big city and, so far at least as this day went, had triumphed. Neither cold- ness nor ridicule, the stay-away spirit that the pessimists had foretuvid, was shown. The first 40,000 New Yorkers to see him took Billy to their hearts. He gave them reason for that. He gave all an excuse for rising with the regularly professing Christiaas, for country figured as a subject in his two sermons almost as much as Christianity. At the climax of one address :Dvange- list Sunday made an unexpected an- nouncement that swept 2way tre main argument that is advanced ageinst him wherever he goes—that he is working for money; that, sincere though he may be, his bank account profits handsomely by his revivals. “Don’t Want Your Money.” He shouted at the end of his afternoon sermon: “I don’t want New York's money! I’m not going to take it for my- self! No matter what may be presented to me on the last day of my servic2 here, I will keep none of it. After pay- ing one-third of it for tne expenses of my assistants, as has alwavs been my custom, I will divide the remainder equally between the American Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. field forces working among the soldiers and sailors of the United States.’’ A roar of cheers greeted this offer. Flags, handkerchiefs and hats waved. The applause was prolonged for minute after minute, while Billy stood smiling, pounding one fist against the other palm, with the perspiration rolling down his cheeks, Then he threw himself into the pose of a fighter, with one arm ex- tended. ‘ “Come on, you God-forsaken bunch of degenerates that say I am a grafter, @ money grabber! Come on, you mutts who have threatened my life from one end of this land to another, you have insulted my wife and children wherever we went, you rotten bunch who tried to raise—I was told—a fund of $500,000 to fight me in New York; come on! I cal] your bluff!’’ That was Billy at his flercest, with eyes blazing, his fists swinging, his face as ‘passionately contorted as though he had been facing an actual foeman. He won his crowd. Their shouts and cheers racketed deafeningly against the low roof of the bare board shed. God's Grenadiers.” But, if that were possible, he was still more appealing at the climax of his night sermon. At the conclusion of this —a preachment of “God’s Grenadiers,” which was highly militant for church and nation throughout—he told the sto-' ry of a drummer boy of Napoleon’s who was ordered, in a desperaté conflict, to beat the call for a retreat, and who an- swered: “That, sire, I do not know how to do. I can beat a charge, but not a retreat.”’ “And, now,” shouted Billy, throwing his voice straight above him into an amplifying machine to send it through every part of the tabernacle. ‘I say that America does not know how to beat a retreat, either. “We know how to beat a charge—and a charge that will awaken the earth and ait the firing lines with millions of the bravest men that draw God's breath!’’ He, whirled about and grabbed from his platform a beautifu: stik American flag. ) “We're unfurling this,"’ he shouted, “for the liberty of the world!’’ He leaped to a chair and then from the chair to a table top, unwinding the folds of the emblem as he made the swift mounting. “This has never trailed in the dust during its existence, and, praise God, it never will!’ he thundered. “Battle Hymn of Republic.” He went on—but in the volume of yells, many almost hysterical, it seemed, his words were lost and he could do no more than whip the red, white and blue banner from side to side. There was a steady, unwavering tumult that lasted until it seemed Billy’s arm would bre. come exhausted swinging the flag from side to side. Then, as the noise began to die down, the two grand pianos on the platform began to be heard, and th- trombone of Rodeheaver, the choir lead- er, and then the voices of the choir, in the music of “‘America.”’ The assem- blage took it up and sang it through. Then there was another peal of cheers. and next could be heard the stately notes of ‘The Battle Hymn of the ne. public,”’ and the 2,000 swung into that. “In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that trans- . figures you and me; As He died to make men holy, let ug uie to make men free, While God is marching on.” What accompanied this song was un- premeditated but beautiful. Some rows of spectators in front began waving handkerchiefs from side to side. Tho entire assemblage took this up and one got the impression of a field of lilies be. ing swayed in the wind. Atop his table, still with his flag go- ing, stood the evangelist, keeping time to thé music. He was not singing. He cannot sing. “T can’t even croak out “Yankee Do). die’ so you'd know it,’ he often has said. We're Coming.” When 1 finally “the ‘Battle Hymn” was cver, there Was a moment of compara- tye silence.

Federal] indictments for alleged cor- ruption ‘‘conspiracies”’ in 1914 Rhode Island congressional elections and the 1916 senatorial primary in West Vir- ginia were d‘smissed. The Court de- cided the states and not the Federal Government are authorized to act. The Rhode Island indictments were egainst Mathew T. Gradwell and 138 others of Coventry, R. I., and Charles Hambly and 18 others of Tiverton, R. T., for alleged bribery of voters in the state general election on Nov. 3, 1914, in which a representative was elected. District Judge Brown dismissed the indictmets, holding that the Federal conspiracy statutes do not cover the offense and that the alleged bribery was punish- able only by the State. Government Took Appeals. Importation of ‘floaters’ from other states, bribery and “repeating’’ in the June, 1916, primary for United States Senator in West Virginia—alleged to be a conspiracy to defraud both the United States Government and indi- vidual citizens—was charged in the West Virginia indictments against Edward O'Toole, Guy ©. Mace and 18 others, dismissed in September, 1916, at Huntington by Circuit Judge Woods. He held that the State—not the Federal Government—could pros- ecute for the alleged fra‘ids and that no clause of the Constitution or Fed- eral law extends to the Government the right to punish frauds in mere political partisan endorsements of candidates by primary or otherwise. In appeals from both rulings to the Supreme Court, the Department of Jus- tice emphasized the interest of citizens and, therefore, the Government itself, in having free, fair elections of Federal officers, even if chosen under State laws. The Federal authorities contended that citizens and also the United States Government itself have the right to phonest operation of states’ election ma- chinery and to punish violations, to in- sure fair and free choice of members of Congress. Conspiracy Was Charged. In both prosectuions the United States criminal code providing penalties for conspiracy were invoked by the Depart- ment of Justice. During the 1914 Rhode Island elections the defendants at Tiverton and Coven- try, with some from Fall River, Mass, were charged with conspiring to secure votes for a defeated congressional can- didate named Burchard, by obtaining money from liquor dealers. It was al- leged that beer checks were distribute4 to identify voters ‘‘bought.’’ Conspiracy to defraud the Govern- ment and also citizens in importation of 2000 nonresidents, or ‘‘floaters,’’ froin other states to vote in the United States June, 1916, was charged in the West Virginia cases. Of these ‘“‘floaters,’’ it was charged that 400 became fraudulent ‘repeaters’ in the interest of the candi- dacy of William F. Hite, a Republican. Other Republican candidates were Rep- resentative Howard Sutherland, who nominated and later elected to succecd and Ben F. Rosenbloom. | SOCIETY ) HE marriage of Miss Helen Avles- r bury, daughter of Mr. nad Mrs. Walter Thomas Aylesbury of 5002 Vernon avenue, to Alexander Watts Me- Coy of Independence, Mo., will take place this afternoon at 5:30 o’clock in the Episcopal Church of the Ascension. The bride’s sister, Miss Dorothy Ayles- vyury, will be the only bridemaid, and the bridegroom’s brother, John Porter McCoy of Independence, will be best man.

The coming of trying Spring weather means sickness’ for many because debility robs the sys- tem of its power to protect itself. One person may suffer exposure to cold and wet without any ill effects while another whose blood is thin and whose nerves are run-down will be confined to bed after sitting in a draught. Keeping the blood built up is the secret of keeping well in Winter and Spring. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are the best and most convenient tonic for the blood. Put up with complete directions for use they are a family remedy that ean be depended upon in eonditions of thir blood, debility and many common forms of weakness. The blood goes to practically every part of the body and if it is rich and red it carries health and strength to every organ. The digestion is toned up, the nerves are strengthened’ and aching muscles are made strong. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are especially use- ful to run-down’ women who ‘worry about their daily tasks and duties. _A few weeks’ treatment has in hundred of such cases brought : jeaprevenestce nant the most remarkable -—-——_— ee Mmes.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In your Letter Columns recently was one by “An Old Soldier,” which I am afraid will not receive the attention it deserves. Old Soldier suggested that all young men found “unfit for service” should be given some means of proving that their shortcoming is not’one of disloyalty— some means sufficient to protect them from the careless insults of any person, who, seeing them in civilian’s clothes in the days ahead of us, might accyse them of being poltroons and slack- ers, As soon as it became evident that our entrance into the war was to be unavoidable, I acted, or, rather, undertook to act. I didn’t choose to wait until I was forced to give iny services to my country, and thus be automatically put into the position of a conscript, but attempted to volun- teer. Now I feel like a piece of discarded lum- ber that has been thrown aside to die of dry rot. What am I going to do? Already if I}. pass a militiaman on the street and catch an unfriendly glance from his eye I want to hold him by the arms and explain. I never before properly appreciated the force of the emotion that made the Ancient, Mariner stop the Wedding Guest in order to have some- one to whom he could tell his story.

He had to quit the active game in the late nineties, owing to his arm giving out. In 1901 he became business manage" of the Columbus club, a position he has held continuously until his resignatio: early in December of 1916 He has had several previous major league offers, but his close personal friendship for Messrs. Bryce and Schoen- born, two owners under whom he worked, always kept him at Columbus. Qninn has two sons and two daugh- ters. His social and business rating in Columbus is of the highest, just recent- ly a big bank there made him an offer to become allied. with it. The city’s big- gest real cstate firm did the same thing. Quinn is in the city and conferred with Ball and Fielder Jones at Sportsman's Park; yesterday. He will go on the job at once. He will take charge of the business affairs of the club and its National Com- mission entanglements, together with the placing of players, etc. Last winter he was reported in dis- patches to be in the field to buy the Cardinals.

While official confirmation from the Chancellor of Washington University is still withheld, it is practically certain that Richard B. Rutherford,‘ the for- mer all-Western halfback of Nebraska University and now assistant coach at that institution, will be in charge of nen University athletes next all. Dispatches from Lawrence recently rinted in the Post-Dispatch told that utherford had the offer under advVise- ment; that he would accept the position if the athletic material at Washington looked good to him, and that he had made a trip to this city to look over the talent. It was announced: today that Ruther- ford has decided to accept the posi- tion, provided he could gain his re- lease from his present position. The athietic board of Nebraska, as told previously, has announced its willing- ness to help Rutherford along.

Mhibit, Absolute Insolence. WRAY Age and the Fight Title. F to the public to view the remains of Bat, it is contended, is no fossil ex- and Welsh is truly a_ real champion. It may be noted that Fitzsimmons was a champion at 37 years of age; that Jack Johnson was 37 years of age when he lost the title; that the country went wild over the appear- ance of J. J. Jeffries in the ring againts the colored champion, when Jeff was 36 years old and had not fought for five years or more; that some experts consider Sam gford the best fighter in the world today, although Samuel! is close to 40 years of age; that Joe Gans was 34 years old before Bat Nelson finally beat him for the title, And much more of the same. Which no one can deny Bo. Nel- son is 35 years of age; so why should the clock be set forward in Nelson's case, in establishing the age limit for antiquities? etc. Bat an Unusual Man. | ELSON is a rugged piece of tim- ber. Only a man with a Lasaltic frame and rubber nerve ganglions could come through what the Battler has survived in the 20 years he has campaigned. Never a clever boxer, Nelson has had to outlast and out- game the other fellow, taking a worse beating in winning than his opponent ddi in losing, in many cases. Twenty years of that sort of ene would reduce Gibraltar to an ant hill. In Bat’s case the pounding began at the age of 14. He has probably stop- ped more blows with bedy and head than all the fighters named above put tegether. Not only were his battles hard ones, but they were numerous and many of them long. Thus the batter's dnb lgian. age, reckoned in blows blocked with his face or ribs, might lift him up into the forties, in effect. a . Easy There, Freddie! However, something is coming to Bat—a few allowances can well be made in the case of this twisted, gnarled soldier of the ring, whose face was never turned away from an enemy unless it was knocked away. But we can’t help but feel sorry. 6 for the showing up he wil RIENDS of Oscar Mathew Battling Nelson protest, with some heat and a considerable display of figures, against our invitation extend d @ once great fighter at the Coliseum, “ae age Fred Fulton Lacks. F Fred Fulton only had Battling Nelson's heart, there would be no disappointment felt in the city of Néw York over the failure of the Minnesota Giant in his match with Morris. Only one meaning can attach to the action of Fulton in fouling . Morris deliberately. He did it to avoid defeat by the knockout route.- Get the brand ready, and slap it on him! “Quitter”’ is right. We proved at New Orleans, when he sat down in the ring ‘and cried out that Porky Flynn was hurting him. e proved it in the first match with Carl Morris, hen he claimed a foul and stopped, Morris was about to finish him executioner, This is no arraignment of quitters. Men are what they are born, veneer the facts how you may. You can’t make a rabbit bite a bulldog; he wasn't born for that job. The only objection to erico is that he re- mains in a profession the first quali- fication for which is the wery one Fulton lacks, Try Penevering. Fred. You've a * long reach. . Was It Deserved? HEN James Leslie Darcy set foot on shore in these United States, Christmas day last, he was received in a manner that immediately swelled his egoism to 7% proportions. Now it can be fitted under a 6% kelly, without the aid of a shoe horn. And, when one compares his ‘‘what might have been” with what hap- pened, the reason for the recent Shrinkage becomes apparent. Les has been pruned and plucked out of a fortune. Had metters gone forward with modesty and fewer brass bands, and had James Leslie gone right to fight- ing, instead of delaying, he could doubtless have completed the four big bouts that were planned for him, as follows: ’ Al McCoy at New York. $25,000 Chip or Dillon, Mil..... 20,000 Jeff Smith, New York.. 15,000 Billy Miske, St. Paul.... 15,000 $75, R nifty lump two hours of actua] fighting time. ‘ It’s enough to squeeze the egotism out of anyone, to be trimmed out of ctive, Freddie Welsh feels at all v l in the night of April 17 ) The Browns Should Worry!

Champion May Be Out Several Thousand Dollars Due to Postponements. 7 Freddie Welsh, it is reported by the promoters of the Welsh-Nelson boxing show, advertised for April 17 at the che st will be in St. Louis late this reek. . Welsh, unless he relaxes, will be in exceptional condition for his bout one Week from Tuesday, as he put in a hard course of training in expectation of a tough mill with a Leonard, probably his most dangerous lightweight rival today. Leonard, however, twice postponed his contest with Welsh, both times after a big advance sale of seats. Now the bout seems off indefinitely. Leonard is pre- paring now for his go with Ritchie Mitchell at Milwaukee, this month, and Welsh appears to have been sidetracked for the time. The champion thus gets a $2000 instead of a $10,000 mill: Bat Nelson is the sufferer since the famous fight curio will have tg meét a Freddie Welsh who is, thoroughly fit, instead of one that nad been tak- ing it easy. Bat will never be able to catch the famous runner, now. Nelson, however, is working on that famous ‘“‘comeback,” desperately. One recipe for this is as follows, as we de- duce/ it from Bat’s procedure: One good press agent. A batch of photographs. Three hours of “never took a step backward” conversation. Interior photo of gymnasium. Then hide the record books and the birth certificates and season well with optimism. Road work and _ Ssparring won't hurt, if the boxer cares to inject them into his training. Fulton Lost Bout, Made $5500. Although Fred Fulton lost his battle against Carl Morris on a foul last Monday night, he was well repaid for his troubtle, as he drew down $5500. Morris was handed $2129, while the State received $690, which was 7% per cent of the money taken in at the show. The gross feceipts were $9209. Charlie Rose, who has trained Champion Freddie Welsh and many other good fighters for some time, has n appointed by Nate Lewis, manager of Carl orris, to super intend all of Morris perp, for his bouts in the future. Rose looked after Morris’ af- fairs whit the latter was working for Fred Fulton. arl claimed that never before was he fin better shape for a battle. Kilbane to Box Brock.

She ex- pects me to.” Tom arose. “Well,” he answered. “Anyone who does anything from a sense of duty meets with a just reward. I wish you ‘Tuck.” ‘Thanks, but I guess there’s no luck for me this vacation. I’m in for it.” He slammed the lettef on the desk. ‘‘I THE CZAK OF.

And if there : oad two or more, I’m to ask the most ly iooking one, or, in other words, the homeliest.”’ The next day, when the train ap- proached Giendale, Dick Myers aros« from his seat in the Pullman, advanced to the platform and gazed curiously ahead. As the car rounded a turn in the road, he caught a glimpse of a small station huddled among towering hills. There was one figure on the platform. Brom where he was standing, Dick could not see very clearly, but the little he was able to glimpse caused him to catch his breath sharply. For undoubt- ediy, undeniably, the girl waiting for the train could not be classed as a highbrow. She was dressed in a white suit, carried a bag, and was irrefutably ’ With a grinéing of the brakes, the engine came to a halt. Dick resumed his seat, turning the chairs fro ay to face the vestibule. In another moment tho girl entered, preceded vy a colored por- tery Dick waited until the porter had gone and the stranger had settled her- self in a chair almost Jirectiy opposite.

It was well after, 9 there- fore, when he ascended the steps of his home and entered the front door. Four girls were seated around the table in the library. Dick glanced at them casually; then his heart stood still. For directly facing him, that same baffling smile on her lips, sat Elizabeth Winants. Very little time was taken in in- troductions. After he had greeted —_ the others, Dick turnel to Eliza- beth. “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” he asked. : “T wanted to surprise you. Mar- garet couldn’t come at the last min- ute, and so I was invited as a substi- tute.” Dick smiled happily. “IT only came home this Faster from a sense of duty,” he remarked. “Neil was right—I have met with my just reward.” iste (Copyright. wah by the York tit Wien ay ee ¢ ¢4°e" aad _ %, iit iii E Il ¢ @. \ | Roy and the Wolves. dog. He had been carefully raised and given to a shepherd to guard his sheep. At urst he had been delight- ed with his life. He felt very important, protecting the great flock as it grazed over the hills, and his heart swelled with pride when his master patted him and told him he was a fine, clever dog. But at length he grew restless, espe- clally when at night in his warm kennel he heard the wolves howling as they ran through the great forest. “My, what fun they are having.”’ thought Roy. “I'm just tired to death of driving a lot of silly sheep to pasture and watching them and then driving them home at evening, day after day, with nothing different ever happening. Of course, my master is good to me, R* was a beautiful young collie ftand it’s lots of fun rompinz with the children at night before the big, warm . fire. But it’s a dull, tame life for a young dog like me. I’m going to join those wolves, as they run seo free through the wide forest. They know how to enjoy life.” And so next evening, after he had driven the sheep to the fold, Roy slunk away, and, unseen by his master, made for the forest to join the wolves. “Roy, Roy!" he. heard his master call. He started to turn back, for he had had no supper. “The bold, free wolves will give me supper, however,”’ he thought, and went swiftly through the forest. It was very lonely there, but Roy ran on, and at length heard the wolf pack howling. Guided by the sound, he found them gathered together in earnest talk. As he approached each wolf snaried and showed his fangs, but Roy wagged his tail in sign of friendliness “I’ve come to join you,”’ he said. “I Want to be free and independent like you.” ‘We will see about that,” answered the leader of the pack, who was s8us- picious of some trap to catch the pack. “Sit down until we have finished talk- ing, for we have a hard night before us, I fear.’’ “Tl want something to eat first,” ex- claimed Roy, tnnocently. ‘I came away without my supper and I'm awfully hungry.” The wolf pack gave a snarling laugh. "We are all nearly starved to death ourselves,” replied the old _ leader. “We've had nothing to eat for three days and are going to hunt for food tonight.”’ *‘Doesn’t somebody give been well provided ‘for all his life and knew nothing of hardships and hunger. ‘What do you suppose we go prowling through the dark forest for instead of being comfortably asleep if we are not hunting for food?” asked the leader, with a sneer at Roy’s ignorance. “Nobody ever feeds us. All we get we steal.” “T thought you ran through the forest just for play,” replied Roy. ‘‘Well, if you will show me your kennels I will sleep until you are ready to go.” Again the wolves all laughed snarlingly. “What nonsense you talk!’ answered the leader. “Our kennel is the bare ground. “My! my!” thought Roy, sadly, “this isn’t a bit as I thought it was going to be! But I'll enjoy running free through the forest.” At length the pack started off. Through the dark forest they ran howl- ing. for miles and miles, always looking for food, until poor Roy, who had had no supper and was not used to such a life, was so tired he could hardly stand. “and all the time I thought they did this for fun?’’ he thought, dismally. After a long time the old jeader sniffed the air. he you your; food?” asked Roy, innocently. He had “T gmell food!" he cried. “Come, brothers!” } Guided by the scent they came upon a fat piece of fresh beef. “Oh! what a fine supper!” exclaimed Roy, and made for it. “Stop!’’ cried the leaders. ‘“‘There may be a trap!’’ He aproached cautiously and looked over the ground. ‘See, there it is!’’ he cried, and Roy, looking down, Saw a Vicious fron jaw half hidden by leaves. “Come away,” commanded the leader. “If you had put your foot in that it would have been the last of you. That is a trap set for us wolves.” _ “Oh, what a terribly hard life these wolves lead,” thought Roy. “I wish 1 was home.’ But he had to follow the pack, because there was no other way to get anything to eat. Just as the day broke they came out upon the edge of a pasture and, to his delight, Roy saw in the distance his old home. toate.

There he found his master feeding the dogs and chickens. “Why, Roy, old fellow, where have you been?” he exclaimed, patting Roy on the head. “I thought you were lost.” And he gave him a bountiful break fast. Roy was very glad he couldn’ talk to his master; for he was very much ashamed of his adventure. ; That night, as he was dozing cff to sleep in his warm kennel, he heard the howl of wolves. “Oh, but I'm glad I’ve got a good com- fortable home, instead of having to’ prowl through the dark forest,” he said to himself. And with a sigh of con- tent, he sank to sleep. (Copyright. 1937. by the McClure Newspaper = (Say Chev-Ro-Lay) ometer. CHEVROLET Chevrolet Car plus Ohevrolet Service—that’s ALL!
