BERLI via London, April 12.—Brit- ish attacks participated in by cavalry and armored cars to the north of Monehy yesterday, says the official statement issued today by the army, headquarters staff, broke down with heavy! losses. “On the northern bank of the River Scarpe,’’ the statement says, British at- tacks on Vimy and Fampoux during a violent artilleyy fire, were repulsed. To the south the enemy brought for- ward strong forces for a thrust. After frequent assaults Monchy was lost. To the north there were British attacks. “From Soissons to Rheims the artil- lery. firing tnoreased to great violence. In the western Champagne the artillery fire is increasing.“ Yesterday the French and British, ac- cording to the statement, lost 24 air- planes on the western front. The official communication issued by the War Office yesterday evening says: “Near Fampaux (east of Arras) Binglish infantry attacks and several Cavairy attacks near Roemx failed with heavy enemy losses. On the southern bank of the Scarpe, near Monchy and Rancourty there have been engagements through the day which developed favor:bly for us. Tast of Bullecourt and near Harde- court, northwest of St. Quentin, a thousand prisoners, together with 25 machine guns were captured.

This morning ihe cavalry went into action and con- tributed to the taking of Moncy-le- Preux and other important positions. The taking of Monchy-le-Preux ‘was mided by a tank. The British infantry reached the village late Tuesday but the German machine guns posted there meeded special attention before an at- tack So, digging themselves in, “he Tommies watched by their arms throughout the night. Early today the Wnglish turned their artillery dgainst suspected machine gun emplacemeiite while the tank circled the town, scat- tering terror and death as it went. When it had completed its circuit the:infantry sprang forward from their Shallow trench and charged in a sort of encircling movement meeting with little opposition, so well had the artil- lery and tanks done their work. A mumber of prisoners were taken, as well as machine guns. The remainder of the garrison fled in the direction ef a wood, whence later in the day, reinforced, they atiempted to. counter attack. Some of the hottest fighting along the entire battle front is taking place at Vimy, where the Canadians are slowly, -but surely pressing forward down the Eastern slope, their patrols peouring the forests which screen that side of the ridge.

British Mi litary Feat of War New Army's Strength Demonstrated in the history of trench warfare. Naturally it will be compared, first, @ith the last of the French offensives at Verdun. In that case the French at- tacked on a front of seven miles, pene- trated the 3 lines for a little less than three, and took something over 11,000 prisoners 2 more than 100 guns. Judged by this standard, it will de seen that the British in their attack east of Arrag captured about the same number of guns and prisoners on a front of 12 miles, as against seven, but advanced something like twice the distance that the French did. In the case of Verdun, however, the French operation: was a local attack for the purpose of clearing the country about Fort Douamont and enabling the construction of defensive works north of this position. There was no in- tention of piercing the German lines and although the German lines were broken and a much greater advance might have been made, the French were not in force to turn to advantage what was obviously a greater success than they had expected. Comparison With Other Drives. Laying aside comparisons, we can Say this: In 24 hours the British forced their way through one of the strongest fortified positions of the Germans. In some places th& have penetrated through the whole system of defense, which extended back for four miles, and are practically in the open country, notably due east of Arras, along the Scarpe valley. On the other hand, they have not made more than a mile at the extreme north, near Givenche. The fact that stands out before all others in the new offensive is the suc- cess of the British in co-ordinating their artillery and infantry branches. In the first days of the battle of the Somme the British lost many of their men by their own guns, and many more paration was insufficient. I remember one case that was told me in the Brit- ish army of a. British brigade, 4000 strong, which in an attack, dur- ing the battle of the Somme lost 1900 killed, 1800 in wounded and came out 300 strong as a consequence of insufficient artillery preparation. The French attack at Verdun last year was a landmark in successful co- ordination of guns and men—probably the finest feat of trench war up to that time—but the new British achievement represents a greater gain in territory and a larger success, with losses which probably will be vastly less than the expense of relatively minor attacks dur- ing the battle of the Somme. Reported Break in German Morale. Only second in interest is the obvious breakdown in German morale. Not un- til the last attack of the French at Verdun had there been disclosed any cush readiness on the Gefmans’ part ito surrender. When I was at Verdun I was told by officers who had participated in this battle that for the first time Ger- man machine gunners, who are picked men, surrendered before the wave of at- tack reached their guns. In fact the French were taken by surprise when the Germans began to surrender in masses. The same thing has happened in the battle of Arras. The Germans say that they had only two divisions on the front attacked. Accepting this, they had a little more than 30,000 men in line, certainly not over 38,000, and more than 11,000 surrendered—a full third. As the casualties could not have been less, it is clear that the two divisions were practically destroyed. It has been the British theory that under constant pounding the German morale was breaking down, and I was many times told at the BritisW front of the growing readiness of Germans to surrender. Because of the considerable number of Germans coming night by night the British soldiers and officers felt that the Germans were beginning to.weaken, and the present battle is far and away the most impressive evidence of the correctness of their estimates. Looking to the consequences of the | Bee of Arras it is possible to now say only this: The British have ad- vanced between five and six miles, and have passed all the German trenches and trench systems which were in ex- istence last January, and are shown on British staff maps which I have of that date. To the north, facing the Vimy range they have been held up by the rearward defenses, including the town of Vimy, which is at the foot of the ridge. system coming south out of Lens and stretching toward Doual. This may have been extended since January, but if it has been the British will shortly come in, contact with it, and, perhaps, be held up. On the other hand, it is now highly probable that the British advance will go close up to Doual, 10 or 12 miles east of Arras. Presumably it will then come in contact with another system of Ger- man intrenchments, extending from Cambrai to Lille before Douai. This {es the site of the so-cdlled Hindenbur line, as it is supposed to exist—that it does exist has not yet been established. | German Flank Possibly in Danger. The dispatches in the last % hours have talked about the turning of the Hindenburg line,“ and this discussion has been based uron the assumption Cambrai to Arras and thence north ward along the old line on the Vimy Ridge. If it did, and there are no systems o: defense beyond Douai, ther the Germans are in deadly peril and a retirement all the way to the French fontier is imminent. The probability is that we shall now the part of the Germans to the Lane Douai-Cambrai line, and that we shall’ cover there A n defensive sys- tem, the northern of the Hinden. By FRANK H. SIMONDS. er Writer on the Military Operations of the War, Whd Recently Returned From Séveral Weeks at the Western Fighting Front. HATEVER the subsequent developments may be, it is clear now that the battle of Arras represents the most successful British operation during the war, and one of the most successful attacks Back of this there is a trench 3 reached, however, it will be impos- sible to measure the extent of the Brit ish victory or conclude safely that the main German position has been pene- trated or turned. It is also necessary to consider the possibility of a. very considerable Ger- man counter-attack in the next few days. If the ‘Hindenburg line has ac- tually been penetrated, then it is prac- tically certain that we shail have a larg@ concentration of German troops gathered from behind the front and flung into the present gap, as the French treops were flung in at Verdun, to hold until a new line couuld be es- Hlished. he obvious slowing down of the British advance would indicate that the ö Germans are going to have time to bring up these reserves. Oonceivably we shall see something approximating the old-fashioned battle in the open during the next week, the Germans at- tacking on a front from Rens to Cam- brai, whilo a new line is being con- etrueted behind them. But nothing can detract from the splendid achievement of the British army in the battle of Arras. It is @ final demonstration of the fa.t that the British army has arrived; that the Brit- ish soldier is a matzh for the German conscript; and the machine that Brit ain has created is a menace to the German army, a greater menace than eny German officer ever imagined could come out of England. Arras ie now the measure of the new British army. It is justified the conviction chat I found everywhere in this army when I was in Fratce wo months ago, that it is a better army than the Ger- man army. No one could visit the British army last winter and not feel that it ex- rected to win. Some of its expectations are now being realized in what must be accepted as scientifically the best military fat of the British in the war. SHIPS IN PACIFIC WARNED TO LOOK OUT FOR SUBMARINES Notice That U-Boats Are Operating There Spread at Sea by Order of War Department. SAN FRANCISCO, April 12.—Warning that German submarines are operating. in the Pacific was sent to all steam- ships captains at sea late yesterday by wireless, by order of Lieut. Command- er E. C. Woods of the Twelfth Naval District here. The warning said: “Information has this day been re- ceived that German submarines are op- crating in the Pacific. Please notify all ships under your control and ask that they spread the warning broadcast.’’ Instructions from the Navy Depart- ment on which the warning was based said: “Get in touch at the earliest possible moment with captains and masters of all merchant vessels operating in your district, especially off the coast, and at sea, and urge upon them the necessity of keeping a very bright lookout for German submarines, and of reporting same immediately by radio to the near- Chile, TUNVERSAL SERVICE [= 10 SOLVE ROWS OF CAPITAL AND LABOR —HENRY L. STIMSON Former War Secretary, in Speech Here, Points Out Enforced . Training Benefits. Henry L.. Stimson of New York, who was Secretary of War in the Taft ad- ministration, arrived in St. Louis this morning on a two-weéks’ drive through the Middle West in behalf of universal military training. He was accompafied by Frederic R. Coudert of New York, an authority on international law, and Frederick C. Walcott, member of an international banking firm of New York. Stimson and Walcott spoke before the Chamber of Commerce and the St. Louis Branch of the National] Security League at a luncheon at the Missouri Athletic Association. In the evening they will speak at a dinner at the St. Louis Club. In urging universal military service, Stfmson pointed out that it would do more to solve the American Aifficulties of capital and labor than any one or any dozen pf the modern nostrums that are being put forth for that purpose. This would be accomplished by adopt- ing a system where the son‘ of the labor- er and the son of the capitalist may be in the.common pefformance of a duty with the same restrictions that the Fed- eral Constitution imposes upon the use of military power and insurrections, keeping it within its own proper sphere, Stimson explained. Labor and Capital Relations. Take our relations tween capital and labor. We have bungled it in the worst way, mainly from the effects of a false military system. We have left the maintenance of law and order of our several states to the national guard, an unpaid force of untrained citizens, in- stead of training police in our rural dis- tricts as we do in our cities. We have left it, because it was cheaper, to citi- zens with rifles in their hands, and as u result we have treated every petty raot and every labor issue as if it were a miniature insurrection. As a result we have gotten it ground into the hearts of our labor people that the citizen-soldier is his enemy. Think of the 1 evil that has come from this; why, there is prac- tically no state in the Union where th. labor unions are not arrayed against the national guard and against any mili- tary training whatever, coming solely from that historical fact. “The question of militarism does not depend on the attitude of the sdldier to the nation, but on the attitude of the nation to soldier. In such countries as France, Switzerland, as Argentina, New Zealand, Australia, Nor- way, Sweden—countries of constitution- al government—the growth of universal training and service, instead of repre- senting a growth towards militarism, represents a growth in just the opposite direction. “It is the means by which countries, as they progress towards democracy, have succeeded in reducing to the low- est terms the professional soldier,“ the professional army, the men that spend their lives in thinking about war, and the means by which they may do the business of defense, a part of the citi- zen's duty, after which he went back to civil pursuits rather than the means of developing any sense or desire for aggression. “In other words, in those countries it has’ been the development of the Dem- ocratic sense of fair play, that where a man had the right to take part in the shaping of his institutions he was in duty bound to sustain the burden of eet radio station.

The typical American is pacific in the true sense of the word.“ he added.

That is the Kind of pacifism that is honest, that is the kind that is true, that is the kind that spells Washington and Lincoln and Bunker Hill and Lexington and the Civil War, WAR CONFERENCES Viviani and Party Expected to Arrive From France at About Same Time. WASHINGTON, April 12—The Gov- ernment began preparations today for important war councils here soon with commissions from England and France. The State Department announced that it expected the arrival within 10 days of a British delegation, headed by the For- eign Minister, Arthur J. Balfour, and including Admiral de Chair, represent- ing the navy; Gen. Bridges, represent- ing the army, and the governor of the * tatively that a French commission head- ‘ed by Rene Viviani, Minister of Jus- tice and former Premier, will arrive at about the same time. The conference will take up such questions as the steady supply of muni- tions and food to the entente allies, the proposed -$3,000,000,000 loan, naval co-Op- eration, military participation of the United States, readjustment of diplomat- ic relations between the United States and the entente nations, relations with the rémaining neutrals and future peace terms. Official dispatches only mention the possibility that Gen. Joffre may accom- pany. Viviani, but do not give any defi- nite announcement. Arrangements have not passed the preliminary stage and no decision has been reached. Intent of American Alliance. An impression conveyed in some quar- ters that the entente commissioners would seek to bind the United States to the general arrangement not to ne- gotiate a separate peace is generally dis- counted here, though officials take care not to express themselves flatly in ad- vance in any way that might be misun- derstood by the allies. It has been stat- ed that the United States will not enter into an alliance in the Old World sense of the term, but will commit itself to unlimited participation in the war until the aims to which President Wilson an- nounced are achieved. .- An impression has been created that the United States will feel itself free to judge when that moment has arrived and will not commit itself over and above its own aims in the war to an un- limited liability for territorial aims of the allies. Allies Asked for Conference, The conference is stated to have been sought by the allied leaders themselves, in order to discuss every phase of the war. No attempt will be made to go into details or technica! considerations, as the general policies involved are too stupendous to permit of it. The caliber of the men sent, particular Foreign Secretary Balfour, who is remembered here mest warmly for his earnest in- dorsement of President Wilson's plan for world federation to insure peace, and Minister of Justice Viviani, one of the first half dozen statesmen of France, is very gratifying to officials. Great Britain has been rendering fin- ancial aid on the most extensive scale to several of her allies, and possibly when relieved of the necessity for con- tinuing such allowances she may be able to get along with much less as- sistance from America than she would otherwise require. On the other hand, the countries whose exchange has suf- fered so heavily, such as Russia and Italy, might find welcome relief from the financial strain by an allotment of ä Nagel in Charge. The other kind of pacifism which exists occasionally among honest minded people is practically weak- mindedness, mainly cowardice. -It is based upon the belief that there is nothing better than human life, and in that it degrades and lowers.human life to the animal level. If that kind of pacifism be true gospel, then let us close the churches, ‘eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.’ It is a vicious corroding canker in any body politic; it is the crudest, most material philosophy that exists.” Charles Nagel, who was Secretary of Commerce and Labor in the Taft Cabi- net, is chairman of the committee in charge of the dinner at the St. Louis Club. He will take occasion to re- affirm his belief in universal military service, which he has previously advo- cated in speeches elsewhere. The Stimson party, which left New York a week ago last Sunday on volun- teer service for the National Security League, to stimulate interest in pre- paredness and enforced military train- ing, visited Chicago, Des Moines, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha, Topeka, St. Louis, and tomorrow will end their cam- paign at Indianapolis. The only serious opposition to their cause, they report, was met at Topeka, where Arthur Capper, Governcr of Kan- sas, and owner of the Topeka Capital, made a campaign in his paper against universal service. ae 1 eps re Tans Oa ae 1 1 1 fod ot: * * 8 * 5 r Oe 5 8 2 1 * N 5 . 1 = J fey ¥ ig N é ted N ‘ae 4 " : ö Sey a ber y a ag ’ * E 1 ce J - L * 8 8 4 . 2 Lal „ f co : : : . ae | ‘ : 5 .

The allied policies 8 ade, mails censorship, blacklist and u. tioning of Holland and Scand originally necessitated by the — of war and bitterly protested against throughout by this country, as @ neu- tral, must now be considered by the United States from an entirely new an- le. While it is cbvious that none of the restrictions buiit up by the allies ‘will be abandoned, it is. doubtful how far this country uin go in actually o- operating with them. The United States is stated, therefore, to find itself in a dilemma between the policies of its allies, the. exigencies of tha war, and its own. view of Interriational law. The allied Governments are to appreciate this situation and to be eager not to make it ‘more difficult.

The three American flags with which the hall at the opposite end of the hotel, in which the Socialist national conven- tion is being held, was decorated during the first several days of the session, ave been removed.

Supple- mental instructions relating to the or- der issued several days ago for the dis- charge of men with dependents were received today by Lieutenant-Colonel Robbins from the War Department. These place a more liberal interpreta- tion upon the discharge order. The order, according to the interpre- t2tion, applies only to the married man with wife and children actually depend- ent upon him and to the unmarried man whose mother is actually dependent upon him. If the wife and children of the married man and the mother of the unmarried man make affidavit that they are not dependent such inten will be permitted to remain in the service. While the mustering in of the regi ment is delayed by the weeding out of the men with dependents, the physical examination of the men is proceeding and will be completed today. Yester- day 315 men, members of Headquarrer:, M, G, and F companies, were examined. Twelve were rejected. Six Enlistments Yesterday. There were 17 applicants for enlist- ment yesterday.

They met seven years ago when both were students at Yeatman High School and McMahon was a mem- ber of the cadet company of the school.

The First Regiment paraded through the business section at noon today in the interest of the French War bazar at.Moolah Temple and visited the re- eruiting stations. The officers also were gratified by an ennouncement that the St. Louis chap- ter of the American Red Cross would provide for dependents of all guards- men, and that the firms composing the Associated Retailers, which includes 60 of the larger department stores and mercantile establishments, would pay half wages to all employes who enlist or who are members of the Regiment, and that full wages would be pald if that amount was needed to prov ride for dependents. Many other business firms have in- dicated an iniention to pay either half or full wages to guardsmen. The of- ficers believe this action will largely care for dependents and that few dis- charges will be necesasry.

RUSSIA TO BE FIRST NATION AIDED BY U.. Efforts Directed Toward Strengthening New Democracy and Lessening Internal Troubles. WASHINGTON, April 12.—Efforts of the American Government are be- ing directed toward assisting the newly democratized government in Russia to strengthen its position, les- sen internal troubles and quickly bring Russia's latent forces to bear against Germany. Reports to the United States say the difficulties of Russia are many and that Germany’s principal object is either to bring about e separate peace with that nation, or, failing in that, to stir up internal troubles and exert unusual pressure from without. One of the principal objects of the administration’s desire for expedi- tion in getting authority from Con- press for a large bond issue is to extend a loan to the new Russian Government. Other ways of helping Russia are being studied. Charles R. Crane of Chicago, close friend of President Wilson and long interested in de- velopments in Russia, is now on his way to that country. The needs of France, Great Britain and the other members of the entente alliance are not being forgotten, and everything possible will be done for them, but they are understood to agree that Russia should get assist- ance first.

LOUIS AUTHORS HOME FOR FUNERALS Winston Churchill Brings Body of Foster Mother; Augustus Thomas’ Mother Dies. Two native St. Louisans who have risen to prominence in literary circles were called 10 St. Louis this week by deaths in their families. They are Au- gustus Thomas, the playwright, and Winston Churchill, the novelist. Thomas’ mother, Mrs. Imogene Gar- rettson Thomas, 84 yearspold, died of senility yesterday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Austin, 3700 Vis- ta place, Kenwood Springs, in St. Louis County. Augustus Thomas, from his home in New York City,, telegraphed that he would attend the funeral, which will be held at 40:30 a. m. tomorrow from the Austin residence to Bellefon- taine Cemetery. The Rev. William J. Williamson will officiate. Mrs. Thomas’ tusband, Dr. Elihu bB. Thomas, died seven years ago. Other surviving chil- dren, besides Augustus Thomas, are Paul, Irwin and Alice A. Thomas and Mrs. Austin. Churchill, accompanied by his 19-year- old daughter, Mabel, arrived here yes- terday afternoon with the body of his foster-mother, Mrs. Louisa Morris Gaz- zam, who died of pneumonia in Boston last Monday. Funeral services were held at 11 o’clock this morning at Christ Church Cathedral. The body was cre- mated. Mrs. Gazzam was 81 years old. Sir.ce the death of her husband, James B. Gazzam, in 1909, she had made her home with Churchill in Boston in the winter, and at Cornish, N. H., in the summer. Mrs. Gazzam was Churchill’s aint, but she adopted him when he was a boy, after the death of his parents, and vir- tualiy reared him. For many years the Gazzams lived at Leffingwell avenue and Pine street. Gazzam was a vestry- man of Christ Church Cathedral. Churchill and his daughter are stop- ping with Allen C. Orrick, 320 North Union boulevard. They will depart to- night for Boston. ———— — —— ——— —— — ——— — — eet MEAT INJURIOUS 10 THE KIDNEYS Take a tablespoonful of Salts if Back hurts or Bladder bothers. We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with urie acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the over work; they get sluggish; the eliminative tis. sues’ clog and thus the waste is re- tained in the blood to poison the en- tire system. When vour kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stom- ach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a table- spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made. from the acid of pes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids so it is no longer a source of irritgtion, thus ending bladder disor-- ders.

"SHORT. OFr° A. BREAK” Argentina Recognizes the Jus- tice’ of American Stand Against Aggression. * WASHINGTON, April 12.— Without formally announcing abandenment of their neutrality, two more Latin-Amer- ican republics, Argentina and Costa Rica, have given assurances of their moral support for the United States in the war against Germany. Argentina, choosing a middle course between those of Brazil and Chile, her sister nations in the influential A B C trio, has notified the State Department that she ‘recognizes the justice” cf this country’s stand against German aggres- sion. The communication contains no intimation, however, that the Argentine authorities contemplate an actual break with Berlin, and it is assumed here that for the present at least neutrality will be observed. Cost Rica’s waters and ports are placed at the disposition of the United States in the war with Germany in an official communication from that Gov- ernment to the State Department. After unqualifiedly indorsing the position of the United States the Costa Rican Gov- ernment added its regret that it would not be possible to take a more active part in the war but said that it was glad to offer to the United States the use of all its ports and adjacent waters. The position taken by Costa Rica is sim- ilar to that assumed by Panama. Previous word had been sent to Costa Rica which has just emerged from a revolution that she indorsed the course of President Wilson and was “ready to prove it if necessary.“ Argentina’s position was defined in a note reaching the State Department in answer to the notification by this Gov- ‘ernment of a state of war. „The com- munication is regarded here as defin- ing a status just short of an open break. Diplomats and State Department officials believe it would have been dif- ficult for Argentina to go further at this time. The position of that Government is different from that of the United States and Brazil, who have suffered di- rectly from the submarine campaign. Her outspoken approval of the United States’ course may go far, in the opinion of many here, toward influencing some of the smaller Latin-American nations. Argentina’s note follows: “The Government of the Argentine Re- public, in view of the causes that have prompted the United States of America to declare war against the Government of the German Empire, recognizes the justice of that decision, founded as it is upon the violation of the principle of neutrality established by the rules of in- ternational law which have been con- sidered definite conquests of civiliza- tion.’’ Costa Rica’s announcement was un- expected, for the new Government set up there by Frederico Tinoco, and per- fected yesterday by legislative declara- tion of his election as President, has not been recognized by the United States, and the State Department gave notice when Tinoco overthrew the Gon- zalez administration several weeks ago that it would not recognize Tinoco even if he were elected later. The message of Fernandez Guardia, Gen. Tinoco’s representative here, said: The Government and people of Costa Rica endear to the stand of the United States and are ready to prove it if nec- essary.“ 8 THREE HURT AND SALOON SET ON FIRE BY AUTO COLLISION One Machine Bursts Into Flames While Men Are Being Rescued and Spreads to Building. After an automobile collision in which there persons were hurt at Delmar boulevard and Walton avenue yesterday afternoon one of the machines, owned by Alexander Landau of 5058 Washington boulevard, burned and set fire to a Sa- loon. Newton Reichert of 4576 Morgan street and Frank Lopeman of the same ad- dress were riding west on Delmar boule- vard in a machine driven by Reichert. Landau's machine, driven by Joseph Hynes, a negro chauffeur, was running south on Walton avenue. Reichert’s car struck Landau’s and both automo- biles were upset. Two of Reichert's ribs were broken, Lopeman's back was wrenched and Hynes was cut and bruised. While the injured men were being picked up the Landau car burst into flames. It was near the curb and the flames leaped to woodwork of John W. Connelly's saloon at 4662 Delmar boule- vard. The doorway was scorched and two plate glass windows were broken 1 by the heat. Landau's car was consumed. He told the police he valued it at $6500.

IS TO BUILD GREAT ARMADA OF TRADE SHIPS Proposal Is to Complete 1000 Vessels a Year in Colossal Campaign to Break Down U-Boat Warfare. WASHINGTON, April 12.—A campaign of colossal proportions to break down the German submarine blockade an! keep the entente plentifully supplied with food, clothing and munitions has been determined upon by President Wilson and his advisers as America’s first physical stroke against her enemy. Unable now to send an army into the trenches, the, President believes the United States can do an even greater service in the common cause against Germany by providing a great armada of merchantmen to invalidate the under - sea campaign about which have been rallied the fading hopes of Prusgian conquest. For weeks officials have been at work on such a plan, but not until today was it revealed oh how great a scale the task had been projected or how great importance was attached to it in the ad- ministration’s general war program. Virtually every detail now has been completed and by fall the campaign itself will be in full swing. Many offi- cials believe it may attain a supremacy over the submarine.which will prove the decisive victory of the great war. Hundred Private Plants to Aid. Quickly built, light wooden ships of 2600 tons and upward are to make up the feet of merchantmen, and to insure maximum construction the shipping board has enlisted the country’s entire shipbuilding facilities, now the greatest in the world. Upwards of a hundred private plants on all the coasts will help, giving, the 'board’s orders precedence over every other class of work except the most urgent naval construction. For the first year production is expected to reach an average of three ships a day. Already lumber interests have given assurances of an adequate supply of tim- ber at reasonable prices. Engine manu- fecturers have pledged their co-opera- tion, too, and all the necessary machin- ery for the vessels can be assembled as fast as they can be turned out at the yards. At more than one plant new ways are already under construction to take care of the Government building orders. The question of labor, however, is giving officials some concern, and a call may be issued appealing foi patriotic co-operation by laborers to insure that the campaign against the submarine be- Ein at the earliest possible moment. The shipping board estimates that 150, 000 men will be needed to work all the plants to capacity and to comalete the building program in the time determined en. This total is nearly 10 times the number of laborers now employed in building merchant, craft throughout the country. Volunteers for this class of public service, it is pointed out, need not be | experienced in ship building, as com- paratively little expert labor will be re- quired for the type of wooden vessels to be built. Within a few days the toard will establish a labor bureau to enlist such volunteers. The American Federation of Labor already is co-op- erating and motion picture companies are planning to display pictures of ship- building operations as part of the cam- paign for labor recruits. _ Geathals Selected to Lead, Major-General George H. Goethals, builder of the Panama Canal, has been selected to supervise the construction program which is expected to involve within the next year a total tonnage of 3,000,000 tons or more than now is build- ing in all the shipyards of the world. Built for.the most part of pine and fir, the ships will range from 2000 to 3500 tons. Most. of them probably will be equipped with oil-burning engines and all will carry wireless and be armed. The engines will be standardized as far as possible, so that damaged parts may be replaced abroad if necessary. An average cost of about $300,000 per ship is counted on by the board. Each will carry a crew of about & men. The first of the vessels are to be ready in about six months and during the year following the number afloat is ex- pected to pass 1000. Such a number, of - ficials believe, constantly augménted in the months that follow, will render it absolutely impossible for Germany to maintain her blockade with any degree of affectiveness. Advised by the Allies. In their calculations, the President and the shipping board have the advice of allied naval authorities, and have com- puted carefully the ability of the Ger- man U-boats to cope with large numbers of merchantmen. They are convinced that by building ships of only 2000 or 3000 tons and forcing Germany to pay with a torpedo for each one sent to the bottom, the United States soon can exhaust the resources of the submarine fleet for operating far from its base. The Ger- man resources can be still further dis- sipated by routing the American mer- chantmen through hundreds of ocean lanes to scores of European ports. First Spanish Steamer Is Sunk With- PARIS, April 12.—The Spanish steam- er San Fulgencio has been torpedoed without warning, according to a Mad- rid dispatch to Havas. This is the first Spanish ship sunk by the Germans without notice.

One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes on abundance of rich, treamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair ** quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it’s very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member —— ͥ — — ARMOR PLATE AND PROJECTILE PLANTS TO BE BUILT AT ONCE Charleston (W. Va.)

SPRING THE SEASON OF NEW LIFE If you do not feel the new life in your veins, you are not in a vigorous, red-blooded condi- tion. Then you need to purify _ blood and tone up your sys- with outdoor living, plain food and Pepto- The Red Blood Builder. 1 In the Spring all living things awaken to new energy and power —except men and women in poor physical condition. Sap mounts high in the trees. Growing things start out of the earth. The warm sun and wine-like air coax the woodland creatures from their Winter haunts. And to men and women who live wisely, Spring is a season of delight—a season of renewed purpose and fresh achievement. On the other hand, men and women with disordered blood find Spring a season to be dreaded. Too much food, too little exercise, fresh air, sleep, have robbed the blood of its richness and redness. It is no longer the fountain of life, but a muddy stream charged with poison. This poison —circulating through the system—is the origin of Spring Fever, that feeling which robs you of all ambition and makes hateful even the thought of work. Pepto-Mangan **The Red Blood Builder t you are in a run-down condition. ve your body a thorough Spring cleaning. Let the cleansing agents be Nature s own—sunshine, fresh air, pure water and plain. nourishing food in moder- ate amounts. For your Spring tonic use Pepto-Mangan, ‘“The Red Blood Builder. Pepto-Mangan goes to the very root of Spring Fever’’—impure blood. It puri- fies the blood by making it over anew. It supplies the red blood cells with elements that increase their number and capacity to carry oxygen to every cell and tissue. For over 25 years the medical profes- sion has en- dorsed and prescribed Pepto- Mas- gan for weak, anemic and thin - blooded people of ali ages and con- ditions. Ex- ceedingly pleasant to take, easy to digest; read- ily assimi- lated by the blood. Friendly Warning: Avoid substitutes.

Two youths stole a Ford roadster be- longing to the Standard Oil Co. from in front of 4625 Olive street last night and, putting on black masks, such as are worn at costume balls, set out on a whirlwind expedition of highway rob- bery.

" iii De eee eR RRR» | WARRENTON, Mo., April 12.—State Auditor George E. Hackmann was ac- quitted yesterday afternoon of the charge of fraud in office, based on his transactions last year as County Clerk of Warren County. The charge of per- jury, based on the same transactions, and contained in indictments returned at the same time, will be dropped, Prose- cuting Attorney Roehrig announced. When the indictments were returned last January Hackmann said they were the work of political enemies within his own party. He is the only Repub- lican State official, having defeated John P. Gordon ih the November elec- tion’ The jury which tried him con- tained 10 Republicans and two Demo- crats. . The charges of perjury and fraud were based on the allegation that Hack- mann certifiel to the county court, as having been paid to his two office em- ployes, amounts larger than he actual- ly paid them. The employes were August Hummel, who was employed in- termittently as deputy, and Miss Addie Delventhal, who was employed reg- ularly as assistant. The young woman, now Mrs. Tuttle, a bride of three weeks, was away on her honeymoon at the time of the trial. Hummel was a witness. Hackmann’s defense was that he held part of the pay in trust’’ for his employes. He said he had formerly paid Hummel $2 a day, but last year agreed to pay him $3 a day, and to pay for his meals in town, The county court, however, had not approved this extra pay, so he held back $176, while paying Humm! 3213. He showed re- ceipts and vouchers to prove that he had obtained the balance from the county treasury, and had made a full settlement wien Hummel March 26, or less than thres weeks ago. The transaction with the young woman assistant was of a similar sort, Hackmann testified, but this matter was not so fully gone into, owing to her absence. ADDITIONAL $57,350 OF LUMBER FINES IS PAID Total of $358,000 Was Assessed Against Companies for Anti- Trust Violations. JEFFERSON .CITY, April 12.—The State today collected an additional 857. 35% of the fines assessed in 1914 against a number of lumber companies for viola- tion of the anti-trust statutes. The total of fines assessed was $358,000, and up to today $228,000 had been paid in. The balance was settled on a basis of about 50 per cent, of which the money paid today represents the great- er part, and the cases are now closed. The companies which withheld pay- ment wholly or in part were finally reached by suits directed at their indi- vidual stockho!ders, which were filed by Attorney-General Barker in 1915. The rompanies had attempted to escape payment by moving out of the State.

E 1 0 NT INTO WAR Resolution Adopted at Party Convention Here Urges Fight. Against Conscription. The Socialist’ party, in national con- vention at the Planters Hotel last night adopted resolutions proclaiming its “unalterable opposition to the war just declared by the Government of the ‘United. States. The majority r sport of the Committe“, on War and Militarism, containing the vesclutions, received 140 votes An even more radical minority report by Louis Boudin of New York received 31 votes, The ‘conservative minority report of John Spargo of New York, declaring that Socialists should support the war, received only 5 votes. The Vote was taken after hours of speech-making. Thomas Wiliam of Cal- ifornia was hissed when he said he was an American, charged the delegates with being pro-German and declared they did represent the true sentiments of American Socialists. Mrs. Kate Richards O'Hara of St. Louis defied the Government and the civil authorities. She declared that So- cialists would not be molested in St. Louls for what they said because the city was against war and the authori- ties were afraid to molest them. * Would Withdraw Support. The majority report call upon .the workers of all countries to refuse sup- port to their Governments in war. The sacrifices in the European struggle were declared to be wanton offerings upon the altar of private prot it.“ The report pledged. the Socialist to opposition to the war by all within their power, unyielding opposi- tion to conscription; resistance to cen- sorship on the press and mails, re- striction of free speech, assamblage and organization, and to compulsory arbi- tration and limitation of the right to strike. It advccated propoganda against military training and militaristic train- ing in the public schools, organization of workers to shorten the war and es- tablish lasting peace, education in Ahe relations between capitalism and wac and organization for destruction of the cayses of war. Touches on Food Situs Demand is made that f exrorts be restricted and miximum prices be fixed.

WOODCRAFT LEAGUE PLANS TO FORM POTATO CLUBS Is Part of Campaign to Interest Boys and Girls in Producing Food. The Woodcraft League of jAmerica has joined the campaign to increase the food supply of the country. Ernest Thompson Seton, thief of the Woodcraft League, has sent out an appeal to the members of the league throughout North America, urging them to shoulder the hoe and “hoe the way to victory.” It is the plan of the league partiou- lariy to emphasize the planting of pota- | toes and every member who agrees to raise at least 50 hills of potatoes receives Ia membership in the Woodcraft League rotato Clubs. The plan is not confined to the boys, and girls who are members of the league, but is to be urged upon all the boys and girls of the country in con- nection with the movements for the use of back yards, vacant lots and unused land. In order to stimulate the growing of potatoes, which the league considers one of the easiest vegetables for ama- teurs to raise, the league is giving prizes of flags.

NEW ORLEANS,” La., April %—A clause in the heritage laws of Louisiana, which provides that out of the estate of every man the widow shall have the first $1000, either cash or property, as she may elect, despite all claims of all creditors, appears to have set up a bar to the operation of farm loan banks here, a bar which only an act of the Legislature can remove. This contention has been raised by Col. W. C. Dufour, president of the New Orleans branch of the Farm Loan Bank, in his appeal to the Governor to call an extra session of the General As- sembly. Col. Dufour urges, that, under ‘this clause, any farmer whose property is worth $1000 or less will be barred from making a loan from the Farm Bank, no matter how worthy the pur- pose to which he intends to put the money or how far such a loan might aa- vance his prosperity. Mississippi, likewise, will have to change its laws before farm loan banks will be able to operate there success- fully, according to Col. Dufour. The Mississippi law provides that one-six- teenth part of every land holding is set apart for school purposes, and this, at- torneys beileve, wl prevent proper op- | erbten of the farm joan barks, 215 Authorized Repreductions of ARERT Cortins’ Dresses Will Be Specially Priced Tomorrow at $9Q5 — 19 MZ N 2 2 proof of This label is in every one of these Dresses— its ortgin and authenticity.

By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- JEFFERSON hey April 12.—The anncuncement by Gov. Gardner yes- terday of the appointment” of Edward Flad, an engineer and a Hepublican, if St. Louis, to succee i John ennish on the Missouri Service Commission, nas aroused more criticism of the Gov- * ernor here than any prev ious action. Tlie objection is not based on an opposition to.Flad, or an objection to thé appoimtment of a Republican to succeed Kennish, who also is a Repub- lican, but is based on the appointment of an engineer, which makes certain that Dr. H. B. Shaw, a Democrat, and the engineer on the commission for four ) c years, is to be dropped, as was pre- 1 | , : ey : dicted Tuesday in the Post-Dispatch, to , . — make place for the Gevernor's secre tary; Noah W. Simpson. Politicians see in the changes only the fact that Dr. Shaw, a Democrat, is losing his. position to make way for a personal favorite of the Governor. There is no law requiring that the commission shall be bi-partisan, but it has been since it was created. There is no question in the mind of political leaders in Jefferson City that if Dr. Shaw had been a Republican he would have retained his position. The Governor, it is said, was under obligations to Simpson, who was active tor-him in the primary and in the elec- tion, and felt. that he must take care of him with the best ‘job possible. There will be two vacancies on the Commission April 15, possitions held by Dr.. Shaw and Kennish. To take care of Simpson, keep an engineer on the board and at the same time preserve the bi-partisan character of the commis- sion, it was necessary to give Shaw's place to Simpson, and to appoint an en- gineer in Kennish’s place. Dr. Shaw has stood high in the en- gineering préfession in Missouri. Prior to his appointment on the commission in 1913 he had for many years been dean of the engineering school of the State University at Columbia. Flad is a member of the engineering firm of Edward Flad & Co. in the De Menil Building, and is an engineer of wide experience. He was Water Com- missioner of St. Louis from 1899 to 1908 and did much of the engineering work on the St. Louis water system. ——— Flad Has Not Decided Whether He Will Acéept Place. Edward Had today said he received a telegram from the Governor last night offering him the appointment, And that it was his first communication from the Governor. He said he had not deter- mined whether he would accept. The place was offered to Flad the day after the Post-Dispatch, in a special dispatch from Jefferson City, told, of the Governor’s decision to appoint Simp- son, and called attention to the fact that the removal of Shaw would leave the commission without an engineer among its members.

A ee a — — LETTERS | FROM THE PEOPLE A Socialist Ae Enlists. Te the Datter of the Post-Dispatch. I have enlisted under the star-spangieé banner to help wage war against the last and strongest bulwark of tyranny and despotism. As a Social- dst, I favored peace when it seemed to me that peace was possible without the sacrifice on the part of the United States of her national honor and integrity. But continuous provocations from the German Imperial Gove ent, and subsequent de- velopments, have sho that this country can keep out of war only by surrendering uncondi- tionally to the will and dictates of Kaiser William, and by renouncing forever her well-known policy of standing firmly and to the last for the rights of humanity. Comrades, as a free democratic people we could mot permit that America let Germany trample un- molested the rights of our fellow-citizens, coward- ly sink innocent women and children, violate, like hérdes of Huns, the sanctity of the home, de- etroy forever the life and soul of young girls, blot out roughshod the independence and happiness of peaceful peoples, and terrorize and ‘torture the whole world: Can America keep her peace, agi could we continue in our pacifism in the face of - mnumberless outrages and crimes’ and horrors, when cries of starving babes and violated women and squalid old people aré resounding behind the getreating vandal? It would be like surrendering our national birthright, and giving up our own I subscribe heartily to what Mr. Benson hag re- cently said in New York, but cannot but condemn the attitude of other leaders who do not seem to realize, in the least, the critical hour that this nation and the whole human family are going through. Society is being rocked and threatened, with destruction. We, therefore, are not going to war for the acquisition of new territories or the subjection of independent peoples, but only to safe- = our rights, to protect our liberties, and rid e world of its worst pest and calamity. We are going to fight the giant that democracy and our own principles may triumph. Our indifference, and worse, our opposition at this stage of the mighty conflict would place this Government in serious embarrassment and encourage by so much the German in his abominable course. Be not misled; victory for Germany would mean the enthronement of autocracy and the death and burial of democracy and socialism. As a news- man, I deem that my full duty demands _— I set up an example. Hence I march JOHN RICCA, — Formerly Editor of the L’Operario Italiano. ~ . ‘ Ee J : 1 | adapted to uniform manufacture. sponsibility for the safety of the nation should be willing to sacrifice it to win support from dis- loyal elements, degenerate pacifists and the slack- ers who want to hide behind their manlier fellow citizens. ‘The Volunteer system spells disaster. Vsetul now in a mere emergency for gathering up a small army of trained men, as a sure method of future | defense when great masses of trained officers and men may be necessary to the security and sovereignty of the United States, it will fot work. With invasion at our door the vast majority of Americans would be willing to fight, but they would be unprepared to fight. We must be thor- oughly prepared not only to make our entrance into war effective as a moral influence, but to be ready to meet any foe in any future contin- gency. e The United States are now in the focus of the world’s attention. Our friends and our enemies are watching us. What we do in the way of action and preparation for action will have a potent in- fluence on both. Shall we hearten and strengthen our friends or our enemies? Half way, injudicious and inefficient natin of preparation will discourage our friends and en- courage our enemies. They will play into the hands of foes within and without our borders. ‘| They will delight and hearten the allied autocra- cies combined against us. We cannot fool the German military staff. German statesmen as well as German soldiers know what the volunteer system will mean—that it will mean unpreparedness to do our full part in the war or to defend ourselves after the war. They will take it as victory for Germany and as a proof of our division with regard to the war. The failure of the volunteer system is not due to lack of patriotism on the part of many who do not enlist under it. It is due to its inherent faults and weaknesses. It is due to its lack of equality of service and democracy in the volunteer army. It is due to its lack of intelligent, sys- tematic and reliable operation. Citizens, knowing its faults, refuse to support it. The men who are advocating a highly paid vol- unteer army are advocating not only inefficiency and uncertainty in our defensive forces, but they are advocating militarism in its true sense. We want trained citizen-soldiery, not bribed volun- teers. ‘ : Would we use drums, advertisements ang so- liciting campaigns to get the money for our war needs? Why should we use such crude. methods to get soldiers who are as necessary as money? Selective conscription is the way of wisdom and efficiency—the way of success and victory. The volunteer system is the way of the slacker—the Way of folly and failure. a fs A A. * * The Germans on the western front spent Easter in true Prussian style, dropping a score of shells into the Cathedral at Rheims.

The selection for manufac- ture of articles which will find a ready market at remunerative prices and result in a minimum of competition with free labor is one of the great problems of the State account system, especially in the first few months of ita operation. Here, however, the war will open a new field in which the market possibilities will be practically un- limited. ¥ Garment making under the contract plan has already given many of the Jefferson City con- viets a ekilled technique which could be readily The introduc- tion ot the latter would assist in solving two prob- lems—employment of the prison inmates, and, more ‘important, the speedy equipment of the ‘Im consideration of an Igoe, somé of ws shonld be grateful for his thoughtfulness.

Would a knowledge that even men who have made a misstep are not to be denied the privi- lege of rendering valued help in national defense be an undesirable = on prison inmates? * DID MIs8s RANKIN WEEP? Did Miss Jeannette Rankin, Congresswoman, weep when she cast her vote against war? That is what Missouri suffragettes want to know. she did. They hope it isn’t true. If Miss Rankin will tell them that it isn’t true it will hearten them wonderfully. They, the suffragettes, feel that if Congress- woman Rankin wept when she voted she has done harm to the cause. Meaning the suffrage cause, of course. It is a tenet of the cult that the suff who sniffles is not worthy of the vote. The reason is that tears are a betrayal of an emotionalism which suffragettes repudiate. They repudiate it because they think it excites the ribald derision of men. They may not blame her for voting no. But they fee] that she disgraced herself and brought the cause into disrepute if she “burst into tears,” as some accounts have it. The point is not 956 tled. The first account was that when she said she wanted to stand by her countrys but she could not vote for war, she said it in a “sobbing voice,” whatever that may be. The next day's stories had her weeping as she voted against war. \ When the St. Louis suffragettes had their an- nual meeting at the American about Miss Rankin’s repufed tears and shook heads apdly and said it was too bad. They agreed that a crying Congresswoman ve . pelled by the suggest It is incredible that Congressmen sharing re- ‘them on the merit basis. ‘take charge of meat distribution may be prema- country she did not cry. i i. The American aviators in France who are to fly under the Stars and Stripes hereafter need only do what they have in the past two years to uphold the best traditions of their native country. 11 * THINK, ME. MAYOR. Mayor Kiel himself can do more to crystallize public sentiment in favor of his program of im- provements and the bond issue than any other man in St. Louis. On the other hand, he can block the voting of money for public improve- ments. The Mayor’s appointments will have a potent influence on the attitude of voters with regard to raising a large sum of money by a bond issue to expend on public work. The Mayor: has a free hand under the charter to fill important of- fices with men eminently capable: The in- creased salaries under the charter give him a wide choice of expert talent. The cutting out of a Salary here and there is good, but it does not meet the situation. The real test is the type of men selected to expend the money, supervise thé work and fill the subordinate places. | The Mayor’s announcement of his intended pro- motion of Hank Weeke, who held office in de- fiance of the efficiency rules, is not reassuring. Weeke is a member of the Republican City Com- mitise and a faithful political “henchman of the Mayor. Who will believe that his promotion is made on a basis of merit and not as a reward for political service? The announcement that McKelvey, also a mem- ber of the Republican City Committee and a val- uable political supporter, is to be appointed Direc- tor tof Public Safety has unpleasant signifi-4 cance. The hint that John Schmoll, chairman , of the Republican City Committee and the May- or’s stanchest political associate, is slated for the head of the Department of Public Welfare, is a heavy blow to expectation of the enforcement of efficiency. Added to these, the demotion of Henderson, who has a strong record on efficiency lines, to make way for McKelvey clinches the bad impression. If these men were highly qualified their iden- tification with organization politics and with his own campaign will make it difficult for the May- or to convince the people that he had appointed | Their connection with the machine will make it difficult for the Mayor to withstand the powerfuT influences in favor of filling the city hall with political appointees.

Sugar is selling at $1 for 11 pounds, while flour is higher than it has been since the Civil War. Such staples as butter; eggs, pota- toes, cabbages, onions are to be had at prices one formerly paid for luxuries. ‘Even rice, advo- cated as the least expensive nutritious substi- tute for many things to Which the people have been accustomed, has advanced. How much of the increase is due to the great war and how much to manipulation it is impos- sible at this time to say. Convinced of the jus- tice of the cause for wich we have entered the great struggle, the people will not murmur at these sacrifices or even greater ones if they are necessary to the prosecution of the war. But this is not the time when public sentiment will tolerate the machinations of food speculators. The food speculator is no less a traitor than the man who betrays his country in the field, In- deed he is capable of inflicting far greater in- juries...

No doubt many examples of Americanism as de- voted as that recorded at Yoakum, Tex., will come to public knowledge as the war goes on. At this early stage and in view of the happenings and discussions of the -past, this incident makes an especial appeal for recognition: G. Holmeg, a German settler, brought his 17-year-old son, Otto, into town from Shiner for enlistment as a naval recruit, The father could not speak English, but when an interpreter had been, found, he said: Please accept my son. It ft my offering to America. Dven if he is unfamiliar with English, Herr Holmeg has a full command of good old United States talk. The sacrifice of his son will not be his only contribution to the national cause. He will go home and fulfill the duties of a patriotic citizen at a time of need. His is a German-lan- é guage utterance that will have influence in a wider circle than that of his own neighbors.

OOCRAT BS: They asked me over at the Agora last night what I thought was particularly in- teresting about our relation to the war just at this time, and I very readily expressed my interest in the attitude of Latin-America. Doesn’t it seem to you from what is happening down there thet we stand much hetter with the Latin-Americans than we have been given to believe? * @laucon: It does, Socrates. It has, indeed, been something of a surprise to me. : Socrates: No doubt. As a matter of fact, what we have learned in the last few days is that we have friends down there—and even powerful friends, too. Glaucon: Quite so. There is Brazil, for instance. Socrates: Yes—though Brazil, it seems, has a casus belli of her own. However, she is apparently not sticking at being on the side of the United States, as we might have supposed from some of the things said of what the Latin-Americans think of us. I would not be surprised to see the war become the means of establishing real friendship between our own country and Latin-America. We have found some- thing in common with the most powerful country down there; and what with Ouba, Panama and pos- sibly others uniting with us in the war, there ought not to be much left of that distrust and fear which . Socrates: You know I have said from time to time that the Latin-Americans cannot be altogether un- grateful for the protection we have given them under the Monroe Doctrine. I have said this in the face of assurances that they are not grateful and only think of us as the great ogre of the North which shall tome day gobble whatever it wants.’ Well, it seems there is 23228 among them—as there must be. So we have friends among them, we find Maybe, if. our opportunity to reveal our true selves improves, we shall come out of the war as the beloved big brother of all Latin-America.

As a Breadstaff * may not be generally known to The Use at Carn the housewife that cornmea! lends itself to the making of light“ bread in combination with wheat flour. It can not, of course, replace wheat flour en- tirely, but may be used in any propor- tion up to 25 per cent of the total flour required and stil: produce an attractive loaf of bread. Although its volume may be somewhat smaller and its texture somewhat poorer than if made from all- wheat flour, such a loaf will be light and spoongy, with a rich brown crust, wholesome and very palatable. Two methods for wheat-and-corn bread have been formulated and tested ty H. L. Wessling, assistant chemist in the Bureau of Chemistry, U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture. According to the one method the raw meal is employed directly in preparing the dough and no extra time or iabor is required in mak- ing the bread this way. According to the second method the meal is partially cooked before introducing it into the dough. While this does entail a slight amount of additional time and labor, the result is a loaf of better quality which well repays the extra effort ex- pended. Wheat-and-corn bread No. 1 (enough for four loaves): 244 pounds or 24% scant quarts sifted bread flour, % pound or 22-3 cupfuls corn- meal, 2 cakes of compressed yeast, 3 level tablespoonfuls of sugar, 1% level tablespvonfuls of salt, about 1 quart of liquid (water, milk or equal parts. of milk and water); 3 level tablespoonfuls of shortening if de- sired. If milk is used andthen cooled until lukewarm. yeast may be used, but more time for rising will then be required. Make a sponge with two pounds of white flour, the yeast, salt, sugar and the lukewarm liquid. Cover and set ‘in a moderately warm place to rise, where it will be free yrom drafts and where the temperature wi.l be hetween 50 de- grees, and 88 degrees F. When the spenge has become very light, which should occur within two hours, beat it up thoroughly, acd the softened shorter- ing, if this is to be used, and gradualiy it should be scalded Less the flowers of spring are the new sport suits, and the lines are. for the most part, decidedly graceful. White or a deep cream forms the foun- dation of many of them, and the heavy crepe-like Shantung silk is apparently one of the most popular materials. A favorite combination is a skirt of the striped Shantung, with emerald green, rose pink, cerise, purple and orange Stripes, sometimes all used together in rainbow effect, sometimes two or three colors combined on the cream-colored ground. The coat is of the plain cream with collars, cuffs and belt of the striped silk. The large pockets at the side often are finished off with the stripes. The skirts, and coats, too, are frequently plaited down the sides, falling in straight. graceful lines. Occasionally these akirts are finished off around the bottom with a horizontal band of the striped silk, and sometimes the coax ix similarly decorated. Another extremely popular fabric for sports Clothes is jersey, either Silk or wool. White silk jersey makes very smart suits. Skirts of black and white stripes bid ir to be great favorites. One, of stripes about three inches wi te. was made in box plaits, the black top giving a solid black line at the belt. A few suits are shown with the stripes arranged horizontally, but these are much less attractive and graceful in ap- pearance than those with the vertical arrangements of stripes. The belts are, as a rule, wide and are not infrequently finished off with sash ends. Pockets on the coats are exceed- ingly generous in size and are mostly external affairg, varying in shape. The painted style is still a favorite. One of the newest features is the bag to match the skirt, a voluminous affair of the Same material attached by long cords or narrow bands of the same material, and large enovgh to carry -sufficient sewing to keep one busy for some time. These striped effects share the sea- son's popularity with the more or less irregular disks of bright colors and the plaids.

JEFFERSON CITY, April 12.—Gov. Gardner yesterday afternoon signed all of the appropriation bills passed by the Legislature after vetoing items in them amounting to $852,294, and obtaining institutions that they would not expend the money should be obtained to meet them. The appropriations approved total $15,- 750,000, which is the amount of the es- timated revenue for the biennial period, including the money to be derived from the revenue measures passed by the last Legislature, the returns from which are problematical The Governor announced several times during the session of the Legislature that he would veto all the appropriation bills if necessary to keep the appropria- tions within the estimated revenue. Instead of following this policy, how- ever, which would have necesitated the calling of an extra session of the Legis- lature, he adopted that pursued by Gov. Major, by inducing heads of de- partments and institutions to agree not to use certain of their appropriations unless the money Was in the treasury. It was this policy which caused the greater part of the more than $2,000,000 deficiency left by the Major adminis- tration. a Heads of departments in many cases did not spend the money appropriated and held up by the Governor, but when the biennial period drew to a close and they found themselves without funds to keep their departments and institutions going, they borrowed money from banks. This money will have to be paid by the present administration. The fear is expressed by many per- sons at the capitol that at the end of the present biennial period the state’s finances may be in little better condi- tion than at the close of the last bien- nial period. The Governor's veto extended deeper into the appropriations: than did that of his predecessor, but the amount held up by him on promises of his subor- dinates is about the same. Among the principal sprropriations vetoed was $240,000 for Confederate pen- sions fcr the period, 350,000 for tre Com- mission foc the Blind, $100,000 for the penitentiary, $144,093 for educational in- stitutions, $245,299 for eleemosynary in- Vetoes Items Totaling $852,294 |; promises from heads of departments and THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL+ 12, 1917. 5 * * WE do not pretend to sell the highest priced garments in St, Louis.

SHINGTON, April 12.—Secretary has prepared a communication to Americans now serving in the French aviation corps assuring them that the United States Government recognizes _the service they are rendering and is destrous that they continue in that work. Persons who feared the entry of the United States into the war would cause the American fliers to resign from the shall : take their places in the American mill- tary establishments, called the matter te the attention of the Secretary. The Americans are a valuable fighting ele- ment of the French air service and war department officials feel that they are doing more important work at the act- val front than they could render at home. Officials indicated that the adop- tion of the American army uniform by the flyers in question as reported from Paris would not be opposed by the American Government, although the step had not been sanctioned. Presum- ably the French military authorities have permitted the Americans to aban- don the regular uniform of the French | 1 servcice and hasten home to air service for a costume that would | distinguish them as Americans.

She seemed beautiful until I saw her under the bright lightse—then all the imperfections of her skin and complexion stood out so that she looked positively ugly: that is why she and so many other women fall to hold admiration.’’ I heard a man make this remark the other day, and I could not help thinking how wrin- kies and complexion blemishes com- pletely destroy every advantage of pleas- ing features, whereas a clear, velvety skin gives an appearance of a fresh. youthful beauty, even though the facial contour is plain.

DEFICIT of $2000 a performance, or A $8000 in all, was the financial out- come of the Boston-National Grand Opera’s engagement in this city, ac- cording to an announcement made last night by Max Hirsch, business manager of the troupe, as the brief season came to an end with a brilliant perfgrmance of Verdi's Aida“ at the Odeon. The company, relying on its highly “artistic showing here last season, came on its own fiscal responsibility, without a local guarantee, and consequently incurs the entire loss. The public response to the company’s offerings was regrettably feeble, in view of the undisputed fact that it supplies by far the most excellent opera on tour in this country. It gave a sterling per- formance of La Tosca,“ a presenta- tion of La Boheme,’’ which was as fine as one could wish; a production of Graduation of Midshipmen. ANNAPOLIS, Md., April 12.+The two senior ‘classes of midshipmen’ now un- r instruction at the Nave, Academy are to be graduated far ahead of the usual time, under provisions of an order of Capt. Edward W. Eberle, superinten- dent, issued by direction of the Presi- dent. The order means formal sanction of the reduction of the course of instruc- tion. DON’T SUFFER WITH NEURALGIA Musterole Gives Comfort When those sharp pains go shoot - ing through your head, when your skull seems as if it would split, just rub a little Musterole on the temples and neck. It draws out the inflam- mation, soothes away the pain, usually giving quick relief. Musterole is a clean, white oint- ment, made with oil of mustard. Better than a mustard plaster and does not blister! Many doctors and nurses frankly recommend Musterole for sore throat, bronchitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, congestion, pleur- isy, rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chilblains, “Madama Butterfly,” which Mme. Ta- frosted feet colds of the chest (it maki Miura, the Japanese prima donna, [often prevents pneumonia). elevated to an inimitable charm; and as gorgeous a performance of Aida“ as St. Louis ever witnessed. Yet, except for the Butterfly“ matinee yesterday, the attendance was extremely meager. Reasons for Failure. Many reasons were advanced—public disgust over previous operatic flascos here this year, the lateness of the sea- son, the high eost of living., the war. But one of the causes may not unrea- sonably be ascribed to the company’s policy of exacting the $% scale of admis- sion, in defiance of American unwilling- ness to pay these prices unless stars of enormous reclame” are offered as at: tractions. This is not to say that Impresario Rabinoff’s singers are inferior to those fortunate artists who happen to possess what is known as “box office draft;” in some instances they are actually to be preferred to certain high-priced Metropolitan vocalists recently heard here. Not one of the Boston-National's performances but was infinitely supe- rior to the Ellis Grand Opera Co.“ dreary production of “Il Trovatore,” headed by Mme. Homer, and two of them, at least, take equal rank, for alle round, well-balanced productions, with the Ellis presentation of Carmen,“ starring Farrar and Muratore. But the fact remains that none of the Boston troupe singers has as yet gained the national advertisement which would make them first-class business assets. It is recalled that last season the Bos- ton company, at the same scale of prices and with practically the same singers, also presented Mme. Anna Pav- lowa at every performance, she being one of the most successful drawing cards before the public. During that engagement, for which the company had @. guarantee of $5000 a performance, the receipts virtually covered the expenses. The only fairly satisfactory attend- ance of the engagement was that of the ‘‘Butterfly’’ performance, and this was of course due to the lasting memory of Mme. Miura’s portrayal of the title role here last season—a portrayal which has thoroughly disheartened the American divas who triumphed in it before the Japanese artist’s advent. Once more she did not act Cio-Cio-San; she was that delicious and ill-fated child-wom- an, with all of her exquisite daintiness and grace. Her voice, too, which last | year resembled the tinkling of a music- box, has grown astonishingly larger, but at the cost of a pérsistent tremolo. Riccardo Martin gave a properly un- attractive cast to the character of the nauseous Pinkerton, but it cannot be denied that his voice shows the effects of wear. Graham Marr was excellent as Sharpless, and Elvira Leveroni was a capable Suzuki. Fulgenzio Guerrieri's direction of the orchestra merited much praise. A Spectacular Aida. The “Aida’’ performance was spec- tacular in its singing, its acting and its stage settings. If one may be singled out for the chfef honors, it will be Maria Gay for her version of Am- neris. Regal in figure and voice, in- stinct with the emotions of the part in every gesture and play of countenance, she exhibited masterfully the fury of a woman scorned, and that woman a princess, to whom her slave is pre- ferred. George Baklanoff, as Amonasro, made a superbly fierce barbarian king, singing his part with tremendous elo- quence. Luisa Villani gave an impas- sioned portrayal of the title role, and Giovanni Zenatello, as Rhadames, lav- ished to the full the rich resources of his fine tenor voice. Jose Mardnnes, as Ramfis, revealed one of the greatest basso voices now to be heard in grand opera. Much of the scenery was notable for its beauty, in particular the setting showing the Nile and that of the Tem- ple of Vulcan in the last act, both showing resplendent lighting effects. The big ensemble scene of Rhadames’ friumphal entry was immensely rous- ing, principals, chorus and orchestra pouring forth all their powers upon the utterance of this martial music. Ro- berto Maranzoni conducted with nis usual fire and spirit. Magnificent as was this performance, there is still room for regret in one re- spect that business considerations caused the choice of Aida, on account of its popularity. That this calculation was erroneous was proved by the small attendance. This city is rarely visited by a company equipped to present operas never heard here, and the Bos- ton company’s repertory includes sev- eral of this kind—Glordano’s “Andrea Chenier,”” Mascagni’s Iris,“ Rubin- stein's Demon. Rachmaninoff t's „Aleko,“ and Dupont’s La Cabrera.“ One of the admirable features of the troupe’s first visit to St. Louis was its presentation of two novelties, “La Muta ai Portiet and “L’Amore Dei Tre Re.” Watchman Shoots at Burxiar. A burgiar who tried to climb through a transom in the rear of Sam Weis- man's tailor shop, 1312 Olive street, at 3 o'clock this morning was shot at by Clarence Scott, the negro watchman.

Eighty-four residents of Fairmont, 2% town northeast of East St. Louis, were arrested yesterday on warrants charging them with conspiring to violate the elec- tion laws. The warrants were issued by Justice Townsend of East St. Louis. The defendants were released on bond. Thé charges grew out of a mayoralty campaign which is preceding the elec- tion to be held April 17. The candidates are Mayor Philip Cohn and Anthony Thomas. Thomas is supported by Clyde Allen, a large real estate owner. Cohn also owns large tracts of land in the city. It is charged that the men arrested either were colonized or assisted in col- onizing others. Beve With Kalter Aufschnitt. Out of German Court Jurisdiction.

Houston, president of the y Associated Advertising Clubs of the Advertising Club of St. Mercantile Club yesterday, his confidence that if the Government should spend about a million dollars in an advertising campaign, as suggested by the National Advertising Advisory Board organized by him, the proposed j $5,000,000,000 war loan could be floated at Ja saving to the country of $25,000,000 a year in interest. The saving, he explained, would be ef- fected by having the bonds bear 3 per cent interest instead of 3% percent. He declared that 3 per cent bonds could be sold as quickly, with an advertising campaign, as 34% per cent bonds without such a campaign. He was sure, he said, that if such a campaign was carried out the bonds would be oversubscribed be- fore the Associated Advertising Club? of the World meet here in June for their annual convention. Festus J. Wade, director of finance of the advertising men’s convention, of- ferea a resolution expressing it as the sense of the meeting that the Govern- ment should pay for its advertising as it pays for food and for the army and navy. It expressed the belief that pub- lishers were as patriotic as any other citizens, but declared there was no more reason that they should contribute space, which is their merchandise, than that the farmer should contribute his grain, the merchant his goods, thé man- ufacturer his finished product or the banker his money. The resolution was adopted unanimously. Wade urged that the members buy war bonds to their full ability and en- courage others to buy them. He said that if the United States mobilized its money promptly there would be no need to send to the firing line the men to be mobilized more slowly, because when it Was seen that the United States could finance itself and the allies as well the war would gradually end. Melville L. Wilkinson, president of the Associated Retailers of St. Louis, urged that in the national crisis not $1 worto of advertising be cut off and not one man be laid off. Miss Francesca Peralta ayd Virgiliv Lazzari of the Boston Grand Opera Company sang and responded to the en- cores that were demanded, and Miss Pe ralta later created great enthusiasm by singing The Star Spangled Banner.“ GUARD IDENTIFIES SWITCHMAN AS ONE OF HIS ASSAILANTS Police Fail to Verify Portions of Pri- vate’s Story of Attack by Three Men. Police investigation today failed to corroborate portions of a report made by Private Norman Boyer of cmpany K, First Regiment, that while on sen- try duty at the armory last night he was attacked by three men, one of whom he clubbed on the head with his rifle. According to Boyer, the injured man was taken away in an ambulance by two policemen. The private said that this man during the afternoon started across the lawn of the armory and replied with an epi- thet when Boyer ordered him off. He returned at 8:15 o'clock, Boyer said, with two companions. and struck him on the hand with a club, breaking 8 eral bones. The soldier knocked him down with the butt of his gun, and the other men fled, he related. The police state that no such man was taken last night to any police sta- tion, dispensary or hospital in the city, and that there was no police report on any occurrence of the kind. The two patrolmen on duty in the vicinity of the armory knew nothing of it. Boyer gave what he said were the numbers on the shields of the two policemen who took the injured man away. It was found that the patrolmen having Louis at the expressec these numbers were on duty at the time far away, one in the Deer Street and the Other in the Newstead avenue dis- trict. Boyer came here two weeks ago from Jacksonville, Fla. Roy Young, 20 years old, a switch- man, of Bunker, Mo., was arrested this morning and identified by Boyer as one of his assailants. Young said he was drinking and recalled having a dispute with a guardsman, but said he had no companions and did not remember the passage of any blows. At Busy Bee Candy Shops Friday Milk Choc.

Griffin, the present Inspeetor of Weights and Measures, elected in 1913 under the old charter, $500,000 is lost to the people of St. Louis each year by the use of short or fraudulent measures, despite everything the inspector's of- fice can do to prevent it. Under the Charter adopted in 1914, the title of the office was changed to Com- missioner of Weights and Measures, but the salary, $3000 a year, remained the same. With the change the office was changed from an elective to an appoint- ive one, and one holding it can be re- moved at the Mayor’s pleasure. How Office Is Operated. The office is operated by annual ap- propriation, the sum of $12,400 having been set aside for it for the current year. The office for many years has been self-supporting, according to In- spector Griffin, who estimates it will collect $15,000 this year, leaving a sub- stantial balance to offset its cost. In general the Commissioner of Weights and Measures has control over every scale and every liquid and dry measure used as the basis of sale or of compensation for work performed. Scales frequently are used to weigh ma- terial in factories and pay of employes is based on this weight. For the inspection of such scales fees are charged, just as are scales used to weigh commodities sold to customers. All such scales must ve maitnained in accurate condition, and it is the duty of the inspector to inspect them twic each year and pronounce them eee or otherwise. EDDYSTONE OFFICIALS BELIEVE PLOTTERS BLEW UP PLANT Manager Points Out Improbability of Three Accidental Explosions at Same Time. CHESTER, Pa., April 12.—After ex- tended investigation, company officials today reaffirmed their belief that an in- genious plan, conceived by enemy plot- ters, caused the disastrous explosions on Tuesday at the plant of the Eddy- stone Ammunition Corporation near here. Police investigation has developed nothing tangible. In support of the plot theory Capt. W. L. Helm, general manager of the munition factory, points out the im- probability of three accidental explo- sions occurring within a few seconds of each other. It is said that a plotter with several confederates could have caused the ex- plosions by dropping capsules of acid into several of the three-inch shells. The time it would take for the acid to eat through the gelatine capsules, it is stated, would have given the plotters time to leave the doomed plant. Other points in support of the theory are the warnings that numerous muni- tion workers are said to have received bidding them to quit as the plant was to be blown up within a month after the United States declared that a state of war existed with the Imperial Ger- man Government.

The plan he refers to means paying for the books as one uses them, a first payment of $1.00, followed by convenient, small monthly payments for a limited period. The great good of the plan, as Mr. White so happily sees it, is—‘‘/f makes the buyer use his books as he pays "for them.’’ Mr. White It is much better. The man or woman who industri- ously, sincerely, devotes an hour a day to a regular, systematic reading in the Britannica of the certain sub- ject or subjects he or she is most interested in will not only find the plan of payment better than a lower cash price, but will find the books paying for themselves over and over in increased knowledge—and that means in- creased earning ability. This is no idle use of words. The same testimony of the value of consistent, persistent pursuit of knowledge is given by Andrew Carnegie, who says: “A half hour a day spent in a particular line of study is the best invest- ment a man can make.“ Charles M. Schwab in a letter to us said: ‘‘The publi- cation of the Handy Volume” Issue of the Encyclopaedia Britannica in such convenient form and at such a low price is something much more important than any purely commercial undertaking could be. It is bringing the most important and authoritative work of its kind in the world within reach of those ambitious people of moderate means who need it most, the men who are raising themselves from the ranks to positions of responsibility.’’ On this same point we have a letter from a subscriber, the Rev. E. E. Harter, who says: Have obtained infor- mation from it that already is worth to me the price of the books.” And another subscriber wrote: Have had it three months and already it has proven a gold mine of information.“ We could quote pages of high praise for the Britannica, testifying to its beauty and its usableness in the “Handy Volume” form; testifying to its value as an inexhaustible source of knowledge; but what you should do is go and see and examine this work for yourself, see just what a wonderful help it can be to you every day in your work, in your home life, as an educational help to your children.

Then look out! Hamilton Jinx on Duty. * Fielder Jones nominated’ Earl Hamil- ton for the opening battle yesterday, and Earl was beaten in the eighth, al- though he was hit harder in the earlier innings than he was in the one disas- trous stanza. However, it was typical Hamilton luck. As he wheeled into the penultimate round he looked particularly good. In the previous inning he had retired E. Collins, Joe Jackson and Oscar Felsch without any of this trio getting a ball out of the infield. When he had ac- complished that much, a natural-born pessimist in the press box exclaimed: “Well, at last, poor Ham is going to win a game!” Koob Temporarily Checks Rally, but Sox Overwhelm Weilman,in the Ninth Koob came on. He forced Risberg to tap to Pratt, who nailed Collins at the plate. E. Collins walked, but John La- van blocked Risberg off second, called for the ball and deftly erased the elon- gated Swede. It was then 3—2 ferninst the Browns and all hope wasn't lost. The band layed Star-Spangled Banner and the rs bared their beans and stood at at- tention. That stuff which springs eter- nal under the human vest was doing flip-flops. ut Weilman began pitching in the ninth. My, what a slaughter!

If he didn’t re- spect him he would have played to Win. as McGraw always does. But he niayed to tie. With Weaver on third, Rowland sent up Joe Jenkins, a former Brownie, to hit a long fly. Jenkins had one ball and one strike called when Silk O’Loughlin missed a perfect strike. More Hamilton luck. The whole Brown team wailed: but, boy, Mr. O’Loughlin is NEVER wrong! r Finally Jenkins played his string to 3-2 and then whaled a liner to right. fluffed it, Weaver scoring while Jenkins went to second. Murphy ran for him. Shano Collins tripled over Marsans' head, scoring Murphy and sending luck- less Hamilton to the bawth. tense that was bullet-proof.

Jackson's orty hit was a lolly-vop double to right field that Ward Miller and Pratt loafed on. Fast fielding would have made Jackson rue his pertidy in stretching what was a soft single into a spicy double. Jackson deserves credit for taking advantage of the Browns’ tardiness. Shotton had a week to stop Gandil's single in the eighth.
