It was said then that an official warn- would be issued from Berlin. Some credit the report, but the entente dip- lomatic corps here believed in it, and predicted that Germany would soon car- ry the submarine campaign to this side from American harbors and to raid the gteat squadrons of merchant § shirs which are moving food and supplies to America’s allies on the European battle ‘With submarines reported close to the demonstrated that it was Devtschiand type, now converted to car. riers of fuel oll*and supplies, might ac- company flotillas of the war boats on trans-atlantic raids is recognized as be- ing ever present. The possibility of bases having been planted by the German raiders recently at large.in the South Atlantic is one of the foremost problems. It éven has been suspected that parts of submarines had been shipped to Mexico and as- sembled there, but by many well-in- formed officials that is doubted. That there is a possibility of a German sub- marine base in the Gulf of Mexicc, how- ever, has been long recognized. The navy has taken all the measures it now has at hand against possible sub- marine attacks, and is taking more as they become available. ‘Naval officers recognize the danger of submarine oper- ations off American coasts, but are con- fident of the navy’s ability to deal with them, so far as is possible at this time. Expert opinion is that some shipping is bound to be lost if U-boat raiding is inaugurated, but that submarines oper- ating 3000 miles away from home have most of the hepa cibentrmccy to contend with. STREET CLASH IN BUENOS AIRES Allied Supporters and Neutrality Ad.- vocates Come .Together. BUENOS AIRES, April 17.—Supporters of the allies and advocates of neutrality clashed last night while a street dem- onstration was in progress. Several persons were injured. KIEL INAUGURATED | FOR Tild SECOND | y TERM AS MAYOR Nolte Installed as Comptroller and 14 Republicans as ‘ Aldermen. REVIEWS PARTY PLEDGES Mayor, in Address, Promises to Carry Out Prescribed Public Improvements. Henry W. Kiel was inaugurated at noon today for a second four-year term as Mayor of St. Louis. Louis Nolte, who was elected Comptroller on the Re- publican ticket with Kiel at the election of April 3, and the 14 Republican mem- bers of the Board of Aldermen who were elected at the same time, shared in the formal installation, which took place amid flowers and flags, with two bands playing patriotic music. The Mayor, fn his inaugural] address, reviewed the promises of public im- provements made in the party platform, and pledged his administration to their fulfillment in the next four years. Bands Attract Crowds. At 10 o’clock a band of negro musicians stationed themselves at the Market street entrance, where their tunes at- tracted a crowd. Inside the city hall, in the first-floor rotunda, another band of white musicians also was playing. The first ceremony was in the aider- manic chamber, where the Mayor, Comptroller arid 14 Aldermen took oaths of office, and “were sworn in by City Register Witter. This chamber was lav- ishly decorated with flowers and flags, and on the desk of each Alderman was profusion of flowers from friends. A small, gathering. witnessed .this. cere-. mony. The officials then walked down- stairs to a platform which had been erected on a landing on the main stair- way leading from the rotunda to the second floor. Here the public inaugural! ceremonies were held, witnessed by a crowd which filled the rotunda. The form of the oath prescribed by the new city charter, administered by the City Register to the Mayor, Comp- troller and members of the Board of Aldermen, is: “You solemnly swear that you have all the qualifications and are not sub- ject' to any of the _ disqualifications named in this charter for the office you are about to assume; that you will support the constitution of the United States and of this State, and the charter and ordinances of this city; that you will be influenced only by the considera- tion of fitness in the appointment, pro- motion, demotion, suspension or dis- charge of officers or employes; that you will not expend or authorize the éx- penditure of money otherwise than for adequate consideration and effective service to the city; and that you will faithfully discharge the duties of your office.”’ The rotunda was elaborately decorated with flowers from municipal green-| house, and with American flags. Back of the inaugural platform an oil paint- ing of the Mayor was draped with flags. Brass eagies and shields were used in draping flags. The second floor was reserved for of- ficials, their personal friends and the press. Most of these witnessed the cere- mony by standing at the second floor railing of the rotunda. On the first floor were chairs and park benches for about 400 persons. The Mayor’s mother, Mrs. Henry F. iKel, his wife, two sons, two daughters and one daughter-in-law, with Mrs. Charlies H. Daues, formed a family party in the reserved section.

Naval recruiting figures, In the cam- paign of the last two weeks to add 40,000 men to the United States Navy, show St. Louis to be far behind Kansas City, Omaha, Des Moines, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Minneapolis and Detroit in }-the . number. of men. it bas. fvrnished. ' Only Milwaukee and Peoria are behind St. Louis in this respect. The quota to be raised in St. Louis and the St. Louis recruiting district, which includes most of Missouri and Southern Illinois, was fixed at 1200. Of this number, 135 had been obtained up to Sunday. In the same period, Kansas City had raised 590 of its quota of 80. The num- bers in other Western cities were: Chi- cago, 320; Minneapolis, 315; Indlanapo- lis, 290; Cincinnati, 289; Detroit, 221; Des Moines, 199; OQmaha, 190; Peoria, lv; Milwaukee, 117. Says St. Louis Will Fail. The time for making up the quotas has been extended from next Friday to Saturday, May 5&5. Lieut. E. D. Lang- worthy, in charge of the St. Louis naval recruiting station, said today that, at the present slow rate of response, St. Louls would not come near reaching its quota unless business men and the com- munity generally should interest thein- selves in the recruiting campaign. “In Kansas City,’’ said Lieut. Lang- worthy, ‘‘the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution have taken charge of publicity work fur naval recruiting. Two tents have veen put up for recruiting, and citizens have contributed the of 30 automobiles, in which recriu''ing officers, accompanied and aided by com- mittees of young women, have sone to outlying towns to round up youths. They have used posters and literature, ard merchants have giver: up one-fourth of their advertising space to presenting the claims of the navy. Too Much Talk, Too Little Work. “Here in St. Louis we have banquets, and salute the flag, and tell about our loyalty, but we don’t get out and get the men that the Government needs, to man its ships and get out the yessels that now can’t be used for lack of men. “One man here has given liberally of his money and his ideas. That is Al- bert Bond Lambert, who caused a fine recruiting poster to be printed and post- ed'in a number of places. It is signed by the Navy League of St. Louis, but the league is really Lambert. In Kan- sas City the Navy League has a work- ing organization, and has raised $5000 to aid in recruiting work. ‘‘Merchants could help us by putting recruiting signs, which we can furnish, on, their wagons. The Wells-Fargo and Adams express companies are doing this, on orders from their headquarters offices.”’ Recruits From Substations, The St. Louis recruiting office has sub- stations at Springfield, Joplin and Pop- lar Bluff, Mo., and at East 8t. Louis and Mount Vernon, Ill. About one-half the 135 recruits obtained here have come from these substations. The figures for the other cities inclide outlying sta- tionm except that the territory atached to the Chicago station ig small. The ratio of acceptances to applications in the different stations runs from 30 to 4 per cent. The range of age for recruits is now 16 te 35 years, instead of 17 to $0, as heretofore.

BOSTON, April 17.—Naval authorities announced here pie Nas until further notice no commerc essages would be handled in the first naval district be- tween ships at sea and shore radio sta- tions. Wireless apparatus of all ships entering ports in this district will be sealed while the vessels are in ports. The announcement which was made by Lieut. Edward C. Blakeslee, District Communication Superintendent, is con- sidered by naval officials as one of the most important yet issued relating to wireless service. With the closing of all private radio stations ashore, naval authorities said this regulation ‘“‘prac- tically placed ihe wireless service in the first naval district beyond the possibil- ity of being an aid to an enemy.” The announcement says in part: ‘“‘Merchant ships are cautioned when ‘at séa to use their radio as little as possible and for the purpose only of re- porting the presence of enemy war vessels or reports of ships in distress. “The shore_radio stations will no long- er accept docking reports to owners. A general tightening up of the radio serv- ice is requested. “Instructions also are issued to mer- chant ships that upon entering ports of the first naval district their radio ap- paratus will be sealed and the antennae severed. A statement will be required from the captain of each vessel carry- ing wireless that he will not use his radio while in port.” GERMAN CASUALTIES FOR MARCH 54,803; FOR WAR, 4,180,966 Statement Given Out in London Based on the German Official Casualty List.

The tabulat- - + skilt of her Generals and the courage 10,000 PRISONERS A a GREAT BATTLE JOINED | ON A 150-MILE FRON Reserves Smashed by French Artillery Keeps Close Behind the Waves of Infant —Germans Expected Attack and Made Every Preparation to Defeat It ( 4 All France hails the vietory a Measured by the amount of Leeicearage freed, the victory does not compare with the Somme offensive which opened a month ago, but viewed from the amount of destruction done to the enemy’s armed forces and the damage to his mil- itary prestige, it is a far greater suc- cess. Here there can be no question either of a previously planned retreat or a surprise. The enemy expected an at- tack and made every preparation to de- feat it.) New Artille Cartain Used. From Soissons o Craonne the German line runs along a series of hills of an average height of 500 feet, with deep val- leys between. The attackers advanced up the valley under a cross fire from each flank, but their artillery curtain on a new plan invented by a British Gen- eral was so effective that the plan was carried out with less cost than might be expected. The weak point of the German line is from Craonne to Rheims, where the ground is more level. Here the attack made more progress and the danger of the rupture of the line became so immi- nent that the Germans threw in all availble reserves. The reserves Were smashed by the French field artillery, which kept close on the heels of the waves of infantry. The result of to- day’s operations is that the great west- ern battle has now joined along a front of close to 150 miles, more than one- third of the mighty line from Switzer- land to the sea. The great offensive opened by the French along a 2%-mile front from Sois- sons to Rheims is likely to extend still further tomorrow or the day after. The tremendous assault on the German line had long been pounding the enemies’ po- sition. The Germans were well aware of what was coming, as they showed by a number of furious attacks made, not- ably at Sapigneul and Godat farm, with the object of finding out something defi- nite in regard to the French prepara- tion. The invaders had manned natur- ally formidable positions with effectives amounting to at least DB divisions and an enormous number of guns, well sup- plied with munitions. The battle yore ontee etek the line, where shortly after 8 o'clock in the morning the French infantry swept forward in an irresistible wave, In spite of a stiff resistance, the Ger- mans were driven back and inside of half an hour prisoners began stream- ing toward the French rear by hun- dreds. The struggle was hottest east of Loivre as well as in the whole sector of Berry-Au-Bac, and to the east of.Craonnelle, but the French heavy shells were too much for the Germans and before noon the whole first line was won. On the right the action began a lit- tle later in the morning. The French met with a very determined resist- ance and the fighting was territie After several hours of a Homeric struggle, the French infantry, thanks to the. support ® of several hundred quick-firing guns, forced their way into the enemy's first line.

PARIS, April 17.—The first copies of' President Wilson's addréss to Congress asking for the recognition of a state of war were dropped over the German lines just after daybreak this morning by American aviators stationed in the new- ly evacuated territory near St. Quentin. The Americans had asked to be per- mitted to drop the first package of pamphlets and it was Edward Parsons who first reached a point over the Ger- man trenches and tossed out his packet. Specially made up and tied with a para- chute-like arrangement the package fei) a little way and then burst open with the thousands of leaflets printed in Ger- man scattering like a snow squall. Oth- er aviators followed suit and soon the entire sector of the front seemed to be basteged by a’ raging blizzard for a few minutes. American Aviators Escape. The fleet scouting machines used by the Americans, as soon as relieved of the weight of the packages, bounded up into a safer altitude and just in time, too, as the Krupp anti-aircraft guns be- gan peppering them from all sides. From far inside the German territory bleck spots soon developed into a flock of Fokkers and Albatross and lL. V. G. ma- chines, racing to drive the Americans. The Americans had risen too high by the time the German aviators had ar- rived, however, and when they refused to be lured down within range of the anti-aircraft guns the Germans circled back homeward. The French aftillery and aviator ob- servers sent back reports thatthe shower of pamphlets caused a ‘great commotion behind the German lines, and that the soldiers scrambled out of the dugouts, grabbed copies and then hastily darted back underground. Later in the day a piayful German stuck a copy of the message he had picked up on his bayonet, waving above the German trench and inviting the French snipere to shoot at it. ‘The American escadrille will continue to scatter other copies. German Prisoners Provided. Meanwhile the much simpler task of placing a copy, in German, in the hands of every German soldier or civilian pris- oner in France, was put under way. In a very short time emissaries of the New York World and Post-Dispatch correspondent will have visited every prison camp and will have distributed enough copies to go around in each one.

In his inaugural address Mayor Kiel called upon the Board of Aldermen to pass all necessary laws and resolutions designed to give ald ani comfort to any national demand in the present war crisis. ‘We should set an example in our dis- play of practical patriotism and in our loyalty to the Stars | And Stripes,” the Mayor declared. “The citizens, by so generally approv- ing the administration of city affairs during the past four years. have indicat- ed their desire for a continuation of the progressive policies which have guided the municipal officials throughout the term just ended,”’ the Mayor stated. ‘Platform pledges are no longer to be considered as empty vote-catching prom- ises. The party will be judged by re- sults. “We are pledged, first of all, to an economical and efficient management of every city department. The tax- payers must ang will réceive full val- ue in return for their assessments for the support of the city govern- ment. “In accord with this pledge of econ- omy is the promise to provide for im- provements of a permanent nature through a bond issue. Thie is a fair and equitable method and should receive the hearty support it deserves. “By -the issuance of bonds, the municipality is enabled to extend its payments for improvements over @ period of 20 years, and in that way posterity will share its portion of the cost of advantages it will enjoy in the years to come. “In the near future such a proposi- tion doubtlessly will be submitted to the people. for their approval.

The capital is crowded with agents of interests of infinite variety. It is like the old days when a Republican protective tariff was in the making. Now, however, the shoe is on the other foot. Thé producer is to be taxed more than the consumer. There ts not so much lobbying in the interest of the war bond bill as lon the coming revenue bill levying increased taxes. The Ways and Means Committee of the House con- tinued today its secret sessions on thia problem and is not expected to form- ulate a report for at least 10 days. Meanwhile scores of lawyers, lobby- iats and tight-fiated millionaires are hanging around the Capital and ho- tela trying to ward off some of the tax burden from their interests.

It would be highly disadvantageous, Bonar Law said, if the country: should be plunged into the turmoil of an elec- tion with the possibility of a division, and certainly that the emergies of the nation would be diverted from the prose- cution of the war. At a meeting of the Irisn Nationalist party today it was decided to oppose the bill for the extension of the life of Parliament. -" eeeEeEeEeey The abolition of the paying for street he reviewed, were: present method of sprinkling; establishment of a municipal- iv owned and operated garbage plant; abatement of the smoke nufsance by reasonable laws and educational means; grounds and other recretationa! facili- ties; éatablishment of a municipal farm for delinquents continuation of the work of elimmating dangerous grade crossings: efforts to extend the city limits: repetition of demands for hoime ment: auttiorization of an industria! survey: speedy and the establishment of a free employment bureau. “In order to carry out this program of contemplatcd improvement we must always take the public into our confidence,’’ the Mayor declared. ‘““‘There. should be no secret conferences on pub- ' lic business.

Neville and Field Marshal Haig and the War Councils of France and England. : The part to be played by such belliger- ent has been definitely agreed upon, and a schedule has been arranged as for one — cohesive force. Various. tasks have, béen precisely allotted along the wide’ reaching battle lines and the re- sults thus far attained justify the con- clusion that the supreme military test of the war is near at hand. It was planned that the British should strike from Arras while the French guns were still roaring their preparation for infantry hostilities farther to the south. The swecesses gained in the first Stages of the HBritish advance have given the French great confidence in the inauguration of their own enter- prises. Allies Are Prepared. The whole struggle in the Western theater promises to be a titanic one. The Allies are prepared as never before in material and personnel and are co- operating with a smoothness which comes from a complete understanding of the work in hand. The Germans have more divisions on the Western front th would have been thought possible year ago, and however much of an “Easterner”’ Field Marshal Hindenburg may have been in the past, he will have to devote his entire time and attention to Western events for some weeks to come. Already a half score of Germany’s best divisions have been smashed to pieces by the British onslaught and their own unsuccessful counter at- tacks. The Bavarian divisions were sacrificed first, but the Prussian guard divisions thrown in to stem the British floodtide have been suffering such casualties in the last few days that they will have to be relieved. The Canadians accounted for a large contingent of grenadiers in the fighting about the Pimple, while yesterday's af- fair at Lagnicourt took its heaviest toll both in dead and prisoners from five German guard regiments. Trapped in Own Wire. It will ever be one of the most strik- ing pictures of this war, the rout of the Germans at Lagnicourt after what they believed to have been a successful! attack. Running for their own trenches, which were part of the famed Hinden- burg line, they were trapped by the barbed wire entanglements which had been built with such great strength and thickness in front of them. The boast of the Hindeburg line has been its belts of protective wire. Caught within the meshes of this wire, the German guardsmen screamed madly for help and guidance. Some, like trapped rabbits, scurried up and down the outer barrier, searching in vain for openings. The British troops, mean- time, had the greatest opportunity for open field rifle shooting since the battle of the Marne. Lying flat upon the ground, they poured bullets into the panic-stricken «ray-coated Germans un- til each man had fired a full 100 rounds. While this was going on, the British guns came into play with a shrapnel barrage, which completed the demolition s has been worked: of the entrapped enémy. Everywhere they have been back from the British front, and, cially north of the Koen up” po might become open again. . In fighting these retarding sotidine the Germans are sacrificing their picked engagements in the recent retiretaent on the Somme. The character of the troop~ selected for these engagemente is con- sidered the best evidence of the impor- tance the Germans attach to what plain- ly appears to be their desire to avoid decisive battles just at this time. Lens was yirtually invested today, al- though the Germans are making a des- perate effort to hold their positions about it, as Lens seems to be the pivot of the new back-swing of the German lines necessitated by the battle of Arras. Against these German strong points many captured German guns were tured today, for with the heavy pieces taken by,the British, were thousands of rounds of ammunition. Bitish gun crews were rushéd up to man these weapons, which were turned around in their own pits, thus forming British gunnery outposts, while their own guns were moving forward. Explosions. continue within Lens and the outlying mine districts and there seems little doubt that the mines cer- tainly will be destroyed as far as pos- sible. Lens cathedral was still standing today, apparently little damaged, Fires were still seen inside the German linés. | About St. Quentin, at the southern point of British activity, there has been hard fighting, much of it being shand to hand. As one officer ex- pressed it; “Our men got in well with the bayonet, causing heavy losses to the enemy.” Irish Announce Results, The prisoners taken fn the southern parts of the line had heard nothing of the Arras fight, except that a British attack was somewhere crushed and that the Germans had taken hundreds of prisoners. A cer- tain Irish regiment fighting in the vicinity of Lens has, during a breath- ing spell, taken pains to inform the enemy of the results at Arras. Some of the adventurous spirits planted boards in no man’s land a few nights ago saying: “We took 9000 Huns yesterday.” The Germans endeavored all next day to shoot the board down, but did not succeed. That night the Irish planted a second board reading: “Sorry we made a mistake. Should have been 11,000 Huns instead of 9000.” The Ipishmen fought with great bravery just under the brow of the Pimple on Vimy Ridge, and were up against a steady stream of machine gun fire from the Pimple until) the Canadians wiped it off the face of the earth. “We knew the Canadians would clear them out; so we didn't worry,’’ said a smiling Irishman today. EX-CZAR’S GUARD INCREASED He Is Forbidden to Talk Even to Wife Except in Presence of Others. LONDON, April 17.—A cable to the Express from Petrograd says: “Ac- cording to the Rusaky Volha, former Czar Nicholas afd his wife have been forbidden to communicate with each other or with their fellow prisoners, except in the presence of officers of their guard. Nicholas is confined to tnree rooms in the palace at Czarskoe Selo, under strict surveillance, and his guard has been increased. His menu, which, until now, has been abundant and varied, is now subject to certain restrictions. “These new restrictions on the lib- erty of the ex-Czar and former Czar- ina are the direct result of an attempt by members of the ex- Czar’s suite to communicate surreptitiously with the outside world.” FORD OFFER BIG SAVING TO U. Estimated at $8,500,000 2 Year in In- terest on Wer Bonds. DETROIT, Mich., April 17.—Henry Ford's offer of his ‘pérsonal fortune to the Government in time of war woull save the national! treasury approximate- ly $8,300,000 a year on the present war bond issue of $6,000,000,000. ¢ The statement attributed to Ford ‘n New York was that he would loan his personal. funds to the Government witr- out interest and in addition turn over his plant for the manufacture of war cupplies without profit, should the Gov- ernment require it. It is estimated that Ford could buy $100,000,000 of the $5,000,- 000,000 issue. On the entire issue of bonds the thterest would be $175,000,000 a year. Ford would likely be giving the United States $3,500,000 a year. Free Lance, Latenia Derby Winner, Killed by Ralph at Loutaville. LOUPSVILLE, Ky., April 17.—In a battie worthy of kings of .the plains centuries ago, Free Lance, winner of the 1912 Latonia Derby and other big races, and Ralph, one of the choices for the Kentucky Derby in the winter books of 1914, fought here yesterday until the former dropped from exhaus- tion and the younger stallion proceed- éd to kick him to death. Both were the} property of George J. Long, a _well- known turfman. Someone left Free Lance's paddock gate open and the son of Alvéscot-Mer- ry Hert wandered out. He passed his sire, Alvescot, without molesting him, but when he broke down the gate into the paddock of Raiph, he met his mas- ter. Free Lance was valued at $30,000.

"it is very evident that the loan could not be floated otherwise,’ he said, add- ime that the Finance Committee was practically unanimous in approving the ‘issue. Secretary McAdoo today informed the ndyisory council of the Federal Reserve board, comprising big banking interests of the country, including J. P. Mor- gan, that the Government would wel- come suggestions from them as individ- vais on floating the $65,000,000,000 war bond issue. “As soon as the bill is disposed of Damocratic leaders of the Senate hope to*take up the measure which the Mili- tary Committee is drafting for raising a large army. President Wilson asked Representa- tives Mann’ and Lenroot, Republican House leaders, to confer with him this afternoon on the administration's army plang.

CORnSS. — ~ = an CROPS NN AUSTRIA ARE THREE WEEKS LATE Spring Weather and Peace Earn- estly Desired by People: BERNE, Switzerlarid, April 16, via Paris, April 17.—Peace and spring weath- er what the Austrian and Hunga- rian people most desire. During a long Stay in Vienna, whence the Associated Press correspondent has just come, there was observed every indication that the Government and the people are willing to accept any peace proposal leaving Austro-Hungarian territory intact and making no claims for war indemnity. By the same token there appears to be no decubt that the monarchy will con- tinue fighting unless these minimum conditions are met. While the House is extremely weary of the war, its mind is made up to persist in the struggle, to the end rather than accept humil- iating terms. The demands made on gary s economic resources and human reservoir by the War are beginning to reach the limit of bearableness and the severe winter, whose after-effects are still felt, tended to increase the great burden borne by the population. ‘The cowing of crops is about three weeks be- hind, which causes considerabie anxiety, notwithstanding the fact that the win- ter crops are reported as in good con- dition. Spring weather is awaited eag- erly for the planting of potatoes and other summer crops. The lateness of the season has been the cause of deferring the calling to the colors of the recent levies of recruits who will start training May 15 instead of April 15. Vienna and other large cities continue to struggle with food problems which are due largely to the extremely poor conditions of transport. The long war has caused a general depression of rail- road tracks and rolling stock. Another factor in the food shortage in the cities is the short-sighted system of regula- tions, ‘eaving comporative plenty. in many rural districts, while the thickly sections are in want. Although food prices in Vienna are three times normal, it is still possible to pro- cure supplies in far-off districts almost as cheaply and easily as in times of peace. The Government regulations have been far from successful in many respects, although thus far they have served to are Austria-Hun- keep in reserve supplies which ultimately will be available, In the meantime, how- ever, the public is paying a terrible cost for this system in “he form of extor- tion practiced by unscrupulous middle men, who the Government in most cases, has been unable to reach owing to the fact that they have powerful Vienua banks behind them.

Connett, Democratic date for Mayor, torney McDaniel today, to deliver to the grand Jury all ords of receipts and disbursements and rec- of money during the campaign. the Dr. Arnold volunteered to deliver records to the grand jury after John H. Simon, who was defeated by Connett for the Democratic nomina- tion in the March primary election, had made charges of election irregu- laritiés which caused McDaniel to is- sue a subpenae for the physician. McDaniel said today that he would make a thorough investigation of Dr. ‘Simon's charges. Lawrence P. Daly, a member of the City Commit- tee, who was chairman when Dr. Simon was a member of the commit- tee, and who has the records of the committee at that time, will also be subpenaed and asked to produce any papers that he might have relating to Dr. Simon’s conduct as a commit- teeman. Daly has’ recently made statements that he holds receipts which will throw light on the meth- ods which Dr. Simon used when he was a committeeman. McDaniel said he has made.a rec- ord of the primary returns from all precints in the city. These returns, he said, showed that in the wards where Dr. Simon was supported by committeemen the Connett vote was as small as the Simon vote in wards where the committeemen supported Connett. Dr. Simon will go before the grand jury during the afternoon, and Ar- nold will be called some time later. “T am going to see whether there is anything in Rr. Simon's charges, or whether they are just the grum- blinegs of a defeated candidate,” Mc- Daniel said, After Dr. Simon was defeated in the primary election, he refused to support Connett. It was charged by Connett’s supporters that Dr. Simon worked actively for Mayor Kiel, and that he circulated literature and re- ports intended to help defeat the Democratic ticket In political cir- cles Dr. Simon is credited with a de- sire to reorganize the Democratic party, with himself at the head of it. MAYOR SIGNS BILL BY WHICH TERMINAL GETS RANKEN TRACT Transfer Railway, Acquired by City, Will Be Used as Nucleus for Mu-” nicipal System of Terminals. Mayor Kiel today signed the bills authorizing the Terminal Railroad Asso- ciation to lay tracks over the streets in thé Ranken Tract and authorizing the acceptance by the city of the St. Louis Transfer Railway, running between Arsenal] street and East Grand avenue on the levee, which the Terminal wil! turn over to the city in consideration for thé Ranken Tract grant. The bills were passed by the ‘Board of Aldermen ‘ ten days aco. The Ranken Tract bill does not pro- vide for the vacation of the streets for Terminal use but gives the company the right to use thé streets. Under the law an order of vacation would cause the streets to revert to the owners of the property. The levee railroad is valued at $600,- 000 and will be rented by the Terminal at a rental of $30,000 a year. Mayor Kiel has said it will be used as the nucleus for a municipal system of ter- minals.

The principal causes of rejec- tion were weak vision, hammer or over- lapping toes whjch would interfere with marching, flat feet and under weight. Lieutenant-Colone] Robbins said today that the regiment would not be mus- tered into the Federal service until the status of those with dependent wives, sisters or other members of their families had been finally deter- mined. Some of the 9 members who failed to pass the physical examinations have been with the regiment for years. The percentage of failure now is only seven, while last year, at Nevada, when the regiment was mustered into the regular army for border duty, it was 14. The regiment yesterday received 500 new rifles from the Rock Island arse- nal. The rifles were equipped with a new folding ramrod, which the soldiers declared to be much more convenient than the old style rods. Jofin E. Mitchell Jr. of 6205 Simpgon avenue, former member of the Busi- ness Men’s Training Corps, joined the regiment today, and was made a first battery sergeant major by Maj. E. J. McMahon. Twelve recruits were ac- cepted yesterday out of 16 applicants. NATURALIZATION OFFICE CAN'T HANDLE RUSH OF APPLICANTS More Than 100 Who Had Registered Turned Away, While as Many Wait for Examination.

He was put on the stand to testify as to conversations which he ed to show by his testimony that the plotters in the case of the projected caused the destruction of the Gilmore- Bonfig plant. One point which it was hoped would be brought out was that Edward Milner, one of the three ‘‘torches’’ arrested at the Christen plant, was the man seen running away from the Gilmore-Bonfig store after it had been fired. The defense objected that the Christen plot was a separate crime and that no that knowledge of the Christen plot on Sept. tion with the Gilmore-Bonfig fire July 24. Judge Shields took the arguments under advisement and continued the trial until this afternoon to determine whether Christen should be- permitted to testify. LEOPARDS AT THE COLUMBIA, SO BILL I$ GOOD IN SPOTS Washington Square Playlet Is Only Novelty in Vaudeville Offering. Leading off with a group of perform- ing leopards, this week's bill at the Co- lumbia Theater is sood in spots. Most of the performers have been seen here before anc the only novelty is a one-act sketch, “The Age of Reason,’’ which was originally produced by the Wash- ington Square Players in New York. This gives Vivian and Genevieve Tobin a fine medium for exploiting their pre. cocity in juvenile parts. The other four characters are only foils for the two ultra-modern school girls who have set out to solve the divorce problem in their own way. Like some crinks, the sketch is refreshing, but not wholesome. Chief Caupolican is in again with his Indian oratory, aboriginal jokes and his pleasing voice. Orville Harrold, billed as “America’s greatest tenor.’ sings Italian opera and sentimental Irish songs. Caruso’s laurels are still safe. Jimmie Barry, assisted by Mrs. Jim- mie, does one of his old, familiar ‘‘rube’”’ turcs. Blossom Seeley, husky in voice and fraime, has substituted a piano thumper and a banjo picker for Rube Marquard. With the aid of these and other scenery, and a few hula-hula contortions, she fills her allotted time acceptably. Players Introduce New Leading Wom- an in “Baby Mine.” Marjorie Foster, new leading wom- on the Players Stock Company, made her first appearance last night in the farce, ‘‘Baby Mine,’’ by Margaret Mayo. Miss Foster's refreshing and altogether unaffected work, and the play’s good humor, established her in the good are graces of her audience. The production profits in comparison with that of the same play at the Park Theater last season, though Mitchell Harris had the part of the stupid hus- band in both productions.

NEW YORK, April 17.—The loss of the American steamship Zealandia on the British coast early this month was due to striking a mine, and two of the crew were scalded to death, according to officers of the vessel who arrived here today on an American steamship. The Zealandia left New York on March 18 for Liverpool. A cable dis- patch from London, on April 7, said she went ashore during a heavy gale, broke in two and would be a total loss. The Zealandia officers said they were un- der orders from the ship's owners not to discuss the vessel's destruction and they refused to tell the circumstances of the hitting of the mine.

Other proposals for like goods in about the same quantity will be opened April 25, while April 26 proposals will be opened for the making of 200,00 army coats and 300,000 pairs of uniform breeches. These. uniforms are to be of olive drab color. The Government fur- nishes the cloth and seeks only the making. In the Wast this work is eagerly sought for by manufacturing concerns, but up to the present only little of the work has been done here. Col. Stanley is anxious that St. Louis manufacturers become alive to this industry. He wishes as many bids from St. Louis and vicinity as pos- sible, as he wants the St. Louis dis- trict to become. self-supporting in the matter of supplying army uni- forms. Recently the Government got bids to make army coats for 77 cents apiece. The breeches were made for a trifle above 560 cents. Big Shoe Orders.

Many small concerns who were able to supply smaller quantities at reasonable prices also were given orders. PACKER HERE WOULD WELCOME U, 5. CONTROL OF THE TRADE Guatav Bischoff Jr. Says Market Is Beyond Control—Unsafe to Do Business. Gustav Bischoff Jr., general manager of the Independent Packing Co., today told a Post-Dispatch reporter that he agreed with J. Ogden Armour, the Chi- cago packer, that it would be a good thing for the packing trade for the Gov- ernment to take over the business un- der present war conditions. “We would welcome any action the Government might take in that direc- tion,’’ said Bischoff. ‘‘Conditions are unsettied. The livestock market is be- yond contro! and it is unsafe to do busi- ness. We packers are all aeroplaning, and unless the Government takes con- trol there will be a crash.”’ The capacity of the Independent Pack- ing Co. plant in St. Louis is 15,000 hogs, 12,000 cattle and 5000 sheep and calves a week.

One saloonkeeper was shot and sev- eral others were locked in iceboxes by robbers last night. Shepherd White, proprietor of a sa- loon at 1900 Cass avenue, tried to take a robber’s revolver away and was shot twice in the left leg. Three men had ordered beer, and when one drew a revolver and pointed it at White with the remark, ‘“‘What do you say, Shep?’ the latter replied: “I say that don’t go here,’’ and reached for the weapon. In the struggle White was shot. The rob- bers escaped. William Seeger, saloon keeper at 137 South Jefferson avenue, shivered in the icebox while two men rifled his vash register and took $54 and a gold watch.

The fact that it was past 11 o'clock prob- ably accounted for this curtailment of the program, which was to end with a talk by Percy Werner and two Verdi choruses by high school girls and boys. The high schoo! students sang two Wagner selections at the opening. The body of the program was formed by two Spanish playlets and two sec- tions of grand opera, scenes from “Thais” and “Martha.”’ Fiqrence Grant had the principal part in the first Spanish play, a light comedy by the Quinteros. She acted the role of a coquettish girl cleverly The second play, by Echegaray, was more pretentious, and gave Mrs. Wil- lard Bartlett an opportunity for emo- tional playing in the role of a street singer, while Nancy Saunders and Millard Kaiser appeared as beggars. In the two scenes from “Thais,” Mra. Blanche Skrainka and Louis Temple- man sang with an orchestral handi- cap. The “Martha” scene was han- dled more successfully, and Mrs. Edna Bradford, Mrs. Arthur Schutz, John W. Bessse and J. J. Kessler won the heartiest applause of the evening. FOREIGNERS NOT NATURALIZED TO LOSE JOBS WITH ARMOUR Only Six Old Employes at East St. Louls Pian to Be Exempted From Policy, Robert E.

Conway said that all of his employes now are naturalized or have declared their intentions, except six old men who all own property in Austria and would lost their interests there if they became naturalized citizens of this country. These men will not be required to apply fot papers, he said, and will retain their jobs. EXHIBITION DRILL BY STUDENTS Patriotic Demonstration in Soldan High School Friday Night.

LONG CONSIDERED WASTE Search Is Being Made for Gen. | McCallum’s Heirs, Who Will Get Securities. Special to the Post- Dispatch ; ATLANTA, Ga., April 17.—Anxiety of a Russian junk dealer to avoid collision with the laws relating to national de- fense in this time of war has led to the uncovering here of a lot of railway and other securities, valued at $100,000, and Civil War documents of great historical value which have been lost to public view for scores of years. They were originally the property of Gen. D. C. McCallum, commander of the Union army that captured and burned Atlanta during the war between the states from 1861-5, and are now veing held while search for the McCallum heirs is being made. From all the information available here it appears that when Gen. McUal- lum died in a New York boarding house many years ago, his trunk, without 0c- ing opened, was placed in a basement of the house, where it remained for several! years. Finally the trunk, still unopened, was bought by a junk dealer in thf! city, who subsequently sold it to another dealer, the latter later removing to this city, bringing a packet of papers that he had taken from the trunk. Did Not Know Value. The new owner, a Russian who had been in the United States but a short while, did not comprehend the nature of the documents and hid them. Re- cently he ‘became disturbed over the frequent arrests of foreigners found wit Government documents in thei: passession and sought advice as to how he’should proceed with those in his pos- session. It was in this way that the papers were brought to light, and it is rerarded as singular that they should thus turn up in the city for the destruction o/ which more than half a century ago Gen. McCallum was promoted from Colonel to the rang of General for ‘“‘val- uabie services to his country.” Among the papers are documents con- taining the signature of President Abra- ham Lincoln, President Andrew John- son, Secretary of War Stanton and other high officials of the United States, to- gether with the United States sea! There are also many official telegrams transmitted to him from the authorities in Washington and from Gens. Meade and Halleck during the Civil War: com- missions signed by Abraham Lincoln's own hand as well as by Presidert Johnson, and other documents of equal historic interest, including Gen. Mc- Callum’s unsigned will. Bulk to College. Had McCallum signed the will, it would have disinherited his son, Paric, whom, other documents found in the trunk show, he had previously made a partner in the McCallum Bridge Co.. in which enterprise Gen. McCallum. S. 8. Post, W. H. Bristol and Henrv Fitch were interested, al! of whom signed the articles of partnership. This will conveyed to Gen. Me (‘al- lum’s daughter, Eliza McCallum, $6050 in United States bonds; during her life or until she married. The entire re- mainder of the estate, under the pro- visions of this will, would have gone to the trustees of the People’s Collexe, located at Havana, Schuyler County, New York, and their successors and as- signs forever, reservation: “That same rhall be devoted by them to the founding and establishment of a department in the said college for the physival and méntal education of females under such general regula- tions as the faculty or trustees shal! from time to time prescribe, with the Single limitation that the plan to be adopted shall introuduce such a train. ing as will serve to fit the subjects of it, both by their physical health and constitution and discipline to discharge both physically and mentally all the functions and duties of the delicate. ele- vated, trying and responsible positions of wife and mother.” 13 WOMEN ARRESTED IN CAFE Police Ask Excise Chief to Revoke Joe Daneri’s Saloon License. A combination of Apache dancing and chop suey, in Joe Daneri’s cafe, 1633 Market street. and an adjoining Chinese restaurant, is viewed unfavorably by the Police Department censors, who have asked the Excise Commissioner to revoke Daneri's license. Thirteen women were arrested in the eafe, following a visit made by Capt. Schwartz, in plain clothes. The visit was caused by a number of complaints from men that they have lost their purses at the piace.

OF BALLOT FOR WAR SERVICE Anti-Saffrage Leaders Call It an In- sult to Their Patriotism and Intelligence. NEW YORK, April 17.—Declaring that “the ballot is not a reward but a bur- den,’’ Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge and Miss Alice Hill Chittenden, presidents, re- spectively, of the National and of the New York State Associations Opposed to Women Suffrage, issued a joint state- ment today protesting against proposals to give women the suffrage as a reward for services to their country. The state- ment says: “The political payment proposed is an insult to woman's patriotism as a price and an insult to her intelligence as a re- ward. The State can no more reward its women with a vote than a man can ——— ing additional work and worry upon her when she is “already overburdened with duties she cannot shirk. “Women are willing to take men’s} places in industry. They gladly accept all additional work necessary to win the war. But of all times, at this period of national crisis, with extra duties im- posed by war, the vast majority of women most need and desire exemption from political competition with men or other women,” ~ Rarkentine Sunk, One Survivor.

No This tiny bottle holds the wonder of wonders. It contains an almost magi- eal drug called freezone. It is a com- pound made from ether. Apply a few drops of this freezone npon a tender, aching corn or a hard- enced callus, instantly the soreness disappears and shortly you will find the corn or callus so shriveled and lanse that you just lift it off with the fingers. It doesn’t hurt one particle. You feel no pain or soreness when applying freezone or afterwards. It doesn’t even irritate the skin. Just ask in any drug store for a small bottle of freezone. This will cost but a few cents but will posi- tively rid your poor, suffering feet of every hard corn, soft corn, or corn between the toes, or the tough cal- luses on bottom of feet. | Genuine freezone bears the name of Edward Wesley Co..

COPENHAGAN, April 16, via Iondon, April 17.—In today’s Berlin Tageblatt Theodore Wolff deferded Count von Bernstorff and German-Americans against attacks in the conservative and pan-German press. The latest attack was in the Kreuz Zeitung, in which it was asserted that the Washington em- bassy had been perhaps the weakest point in the whole system of German diplomacy. Wolff declares that this charge is false. As for German-Americans, he says: ‘The Germans whom the jingo writers now wish to disown and repudiate for failing in their mission in America have a lecitimate grievance against the pan- German jingoes whose extravagance of wera SR ee Sale Size 9x12-Ft.

Many of the German-Americans are out of sympathy with the Prussia of caste privilege and bureaucratic tute- lage, but if Prussia and the empire had a complete rebirth, obstacles to love and attachment of the old fatherland would disappear."’ The writer declares that those who, efter working for months to bring about war with the United States, now profess disappointment and are doomed to fur- ther surprises.

BERLIN, April 16, via London, April W7.—A day of apprehension in Berlin ended tonight without alarming events. The threatened strikes, because of a re- e ‘ terlalized in only one part of the large factories, and did not affect transpor- tation or public utilities. The strike leaders had planned an elaborate sys- tem of street demonstrations which were to unite in an outdoor assemblage, but inclement weather kept down enthusl- asm. The strikes are limited to factories manned by unions belonging to the Lieb- knecht-Ledebor branch of the Social Democracy. The Scheidemann group is not striking. The Vorwaerts, the organ of the Scheidemann Socialists, printed a warning against striking for fear that the latter would interfere with efforts to obtain a separate peace with Russia There were no strikes in factories em- | pleying the so-called Christian unions. The workers appeared in all the fac- tories as usual this morning, but an hour later those who had agreed to! strike walked out. Apparently there was an agreement to march through the’ Unter Den Linden, to Charlatten- burg. The police, however, prevented the paraders from entering Unter Den Linden and most of the Friedrichstrasse and prevented the different parades from uniting. Police officials said to-| night that the t-ouble was over. More Liberal Indian Policy.

LONDON, April 17.—Admiral’Sir John R. Jellicoe, British First Sea Lord, told ithe Associated Press yesterday that anything and everything in the way of small craft, from destroyers ,to tugs, would be the most useful contribution that the United States could make to the war against Germa.z submarines. In this connection, the First Sea Lord as- serted that the best hunting ground for raiders on this side of the water, as the possibility of German submarines operating on the American coagt is al- most negligible unless they have a base on that side. “I have no desire to minimize to the American people,". said the Admiral, ‘the serious situation prevailing as a result of the illegal use of submarines by the Germans. Neither is it easy for us to take them into our confidence and tel) them what we are doing to cope with the evil, without providing the Germans with useful information. No methods existed in the past for fighting the submerged submarine, and the new inventions and processes for that pur- pose take time to develop.

As you prob- ,ably know, we have bought large quan- ‘tities of wheat in Australia, but, as the round voyage takes four times as long as that to America, the bringing of this wheat takes four times as much ton- nage as the carrying of American wheat to the allied Powers. We, therefore, require all the wheat we can obtain from America and Canada. “Our food situation is by no means as desperate as the Germans want to believe it is, but, on the other hand, it is more serious than many of our own people realize. Our-own shipping suf- fered very little more in March than during the first month of unrestricted submarine warfare and other tonnage sunk during that period was in much the same position, and there is no very marked method of combating the evil. What has been accomplished is the re- sult of inventions and process which take time to develop, and the Govern- ment is well aware of the fact that im- mediate results could not be expected. ‘'The increasing armament of our mer- cantile marine has made submarines far more cautious, and more submerged at- tacks are taking place. Of course, this has one advantage, inasmuch as the raiders must depend upon their torpe- does for such attacks, and, being able to carry only a limited number, musi return to port sooner than when they made their attacks from the surface. Your Navy Department knows just how many submarines we have sunk, but the exact number of U-boats that have wtu- ally never returned to port is known only to the German Admiralty, which, naturally, does not give us this in- formation. Small Craft Protection. “Against a submerged attack, a host of small craft forms the best protection We can use everything from destroyers to tugs of any size. The danger of showing a periscope when the submarine may have a bomb dropped on it, or ba rammed, is one which our enemy doer not like to face. But the escraft must be used in the zone where submarines operate, and such a zone is hardly likely to be extended to the American coast German submarines cannot operate over there effectively without a base, and I am eure that your magnificent navy will have no trouble in patrolling the Mexi- can Gulf coast, on which a base might exist, while the entrance of Cuba into the war on the side of the allies deprives the Germans of the best place they might have secured for such bages. “I have already warned your Navy Department that submarine mine layers may visit your coast, dump their cargo and return. But the damage they will do will not prove extensive, as each boat only carries about thirty mines. These mine layers have dropped their mines everywhere about our coast, and if I had the exact figures at hand of the number we have swept up and de- stroyed you would be astonished. Strategy Undergoes Change. “It cannot be denied that naval strat- egy has undergone a vast change as the result of the illegal use by Germany of submarines. Of course, it is also unde- niable that their use legitimately has changed naval warfare. But the legiti- mate change is not so great nor so dif- fieult to cope with as the illegal use of submarines. Their advent as a fighting weapon has made a coast blockade of an enemy's coast impossible and has added to the difficulties we face on ac- count of the natural features of the German coast line for either attack or defense. “Against navral Germany the British isies are tipped the wrong way. One of the disadvantages under which we suf- fered during the early part of the war was that we had no harbor in the North Sea big enough to hold the growing grand fleet where it could be within ‘easy striking distance of the enemy. One of the most striking results of the legitimate use of submarines has been to compel heavy ships, in order to ob- tain protection from their attacks, to be accompanied by destroyers when they ' . ee ce - = — 4 rue 7% Le ; - ae x P ; put to sea, and this fact reduces the radius of actid1 of a fleet on account of the limited fuel capacity of the de- stroyers. Change in Naval Policy. “The most striking feature of the change in our historic naval policy re- sulting from the illegal use of subma- rines and from the fact that the enemy surface ships have been driven from the sea, is that we have been compelled to abandon a definite offensive policy for one which may be called an offen- sive defensive, since our only active enemy is the submarine engaged in pira- cy and murder. “We must give our mercantile fleet a measure of protection which would not be dreamed of if the Germans merely used their U-boats for legitimate naval warfare, and s0 many of our smaller warships must be used for this purpose that the ‘tip and run’ raid becomes 4 possibility while our own blockading efforts suffer. This again brings back to the importance of small craf for the protection of the mercantile ma- rine. But they cannot end the subma- rine menace by merely Keeping the U- boats beneath the water. \ve want to end the evil by destroying the boats, and we mean to do it. The solution of this. problem offers plenty of scope for the inventive genius of both navies. Seebréixze a Problem. ‘‘Seebrugge forms another of our prob- lems. It is difficult to deal with now, owing to German occupation and forti- fication of the belgian coast. No naval officer, even before this war, ever be- Heved that it was the business of a capital ship to stand up against a land fort, as land guns always have greater facilities for finding the range than a gun mounted on a ship. “But: the fortified Belgian coast is a fact which we have to face, and the German destroyers’ maintained there have made our work of guarding the Straits of Dover more difficult. The Germans in their tip and run raids, dur- ing which they have committed addi- tional illegality and the inhumanity of bombarding open towns, have the great advantage of choosing the time of attack, and when as many as 30 destroyers can attack a patrol can gain some idea of the number of vessels we need to guard con- you met them more than once at night, but it is difficult to ensure that the meet- ing shall not find us in considerable in- feriority, owing to the disposition neces- sary of a watching force. Quotes From Mahan. “In conclusion, I cannot do better than quote from your great author, Capt. Ma- han, in his volume, ‘The Interest of America in Sea Power, Present and Fu- ture.’ He wrote: “*To Great Britain and the United States, if they rightly estimate the part they may .play in the great°drama of human progress, is intrusted a mart- time interest in the broadest sense of the word, which demands as one of the con- ditions of its exercise and its safety the organization of a force adequate to control the general course of events: to maintain, if the necessity arises, not arbitrarily, but as those in whom in- terest and power alike justify the claim to do so, the laws that: shall -regulate maritime warfare.’ “And again: ‘War, once declared, must be waged offensively, aggres- sively. The enemy must not be fend- ed off, but smitten down. You may then spare him every exaction, re- lingyish every gain; but still down he must be struck incéssantly and remorsely.’ ”’ The first Sea Lord impresses one as COCOANUT OIL MAKcS ASPLENDID SHAMPOO If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the ag makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and entire- ly greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can’t possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoon- fuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man- age. You can get mulsified cocoannt oil at most any drug store.

' The Government should tax excessive profits produced by speculation. Speculators are as great an enemy of our country as a foreign foe. ’ A few weeks ago it was stated in the Post-Dis- atch that one man cleared $40,000 in two weeks n St. Louis by cornering the onion market. Re- bult, we poorer people get only as many onions ow for 10 cents as we formerly got for five ents. Again, last winter in Chicago another bpeculator cornered 70,000,000 eggs, which he bought for 25 cents a dozen. How are the laboring classes to live? Many “here only make $1 a day for farm labor and gro- ceries are higher here than in the big cities, only rent and milk being cheaper.

But this i@ not all—some second assistants are so unfor- twnate as to have had “tilts” with their princi- pals, and their outlook for promotion is nene too dright. ‘Some of ue do hope the board will show the financial interest in teachers in the system it has shown in many that it would bring into the system.

Mayor Kiel has issued a proclamation urging back-yard gardens. Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Carl Vroo- man is touring the West planning a mobiliza- tion of all the forces of food production. Secretary of the Interior Lane proposes the or- ganization of a “farm army” to supplement the -efforts of the armies in the field. But however much relief these plans may prom- ise for the future, they are only to be surveyed with alarm by consumers in the present. Every time a new suggestion takes shape for a vast increase in yields, every time a further assurance is received that all the power of the Government will be exerted for the prevention of a shortage in foods, every time a new indication of unprece- dented acreages and unsurpassed abundance in harvests appears, the current market quotations are given a stiff boost upwards. The. May wheat option advanced 13 cents on the St. Louis market yesterday. Cash wheat went up to $2.75. What the market-riggers are trying to do is, of course, plain. They suspect that the Government will sooner or later take over afl or a large part of the available supply of cereals. They figure on forcing the Government to pay an extortionate price—placing the cost in advance at so dismay- ing a figure as to handicap the beneficent plan. timate loss. Government resources are not to be used to stabilize fictitious values for speculators. The British Government's first proposal for tak- ing over the entire Canadian wheat crop for this year was $1.30 a bushel. This was held to pro- vide too little incentive for farmers and the final offer was to guarantee not less than $1.50, with $1.90 as the absolute maximum. Practical measures for the protection of the consumer in the present and reserving the legiti- mate rewards of the new crop in July to the grower, not the speculator, form one of the most important war problems to which Congress must give attention. J. Ogden Armour, the packer, is spading up the lawn at his home to plant potatoes. All he needs now is to plant a few onions and the Armour family can be sure of its beef stew, regardless of how the war goes. = = ——_ e A DISAPPOINTING VETO. True State economy may be retarded instead of promoted by Gov. Gardner's veto of the appro- priation for blind industrial workers. The least impressive of the reasons for the veto is that the chief beneficiaries would be St. Lou- isans. A beginning with this philanthropy had to be made somewhere and it was made in the community where the most blind reside. An early extension of the work to other parts of the State had been planned. : More humane treatment for these unfortunates had been demanded by the people in the vote ap- proving the amendment authorizing pensions for the blind. A wiser measure decided on by ben- evolent Missourians was the establishment of in- dustrial shops in ‘which self-respecting blind per- sons might escape pauperization and become self- supporting. As the blind are not efficient in the Same degree as other persons, the minimum wage paid of $1.50 a day resulted in deficits which a modest public appropriation of $25,000 a year was designed to meet. The practical disappearance of blind mendi- cants from St. Louis streets showed the value of the experiment. The veto is disappointing but furnishes new incentives to private generosity to continue the excellent work. = = —-— MEXICO’S ‘‘PRIENDHSIP.’’ The best thing in the Carranza address to the new Mexican Congress is the information that it gives of the continuing alertness of olur own Gov- ernment, in the following paragraph: Still, I am obliged to inform Congress that the “American Government, notwithstanding its desire to encourage friendship with us, has not raised the embargo on arms ani am- munition consigned to this Government. From the American point of view it appears essentially consistent with a “desire to encour- age friendship” that we shall withhold from them the effective means of disturbing those re- lations. = = % i i A Here is a gem of reasoning from the Germany of Kant and Hegel. Says the Berlin Volks Zeitung: “Freemasonry is largely responsible for the war. Wilson, Bryan and Roosevelt are Freemasons and Freemasonry ‘is rampant in al! departments of the American Government.” JOHN ELLISON’S CHOICE. The rest of the world, outside the profession, will surely pardon us if we turn aside for a mo- ment and shed a few tears of sympathy and re- gret for a brother in misfortune. We lament the sorrowful fate of John Ellison, editor and pro- prietor of the Wise (Va.) Review. For some’ time Brother Ellison has floated the flag of free speech in a small community. He wrote up the church sociables, the lodge elec- tions, the deaths, births and marriages and daily he made the 5:40 accommodation train for its grist of personal items. Between whiles he printed letterheads, envelopes and auction sale bills. In an earnest, conscientious way he tried to uphold the dignity of the press with one hand while, with the other, he resolutely held the front door closed to the wolf. Given a fair chance he probably would have done both acceptably, but the nefarious claws of the white paper shortage seized him. To per- severe in the circumstances was too great even for a country editor's .well proved versatility. He had to quit. Nevertheless Brother Ellison faced his mis- fortunes like a man and a journalist. No whin- ing for sympathy from him; no truckling to cir- the brayer roller on its nail, wiped his hands on the inky towel for the last time, locked the front door and trudged off to the nearest coal mine. Then he chucked his coat, spat upon his hands, grabbed a pick and went to work. | The loss is the world’s and not John Ellison's. In passing from the sanctum to No. 8 level John at least can console himself with the .reflection Their manipulation only invites panic and ul-’ cumstance; no discouraged resignation. He hung | that a at miner’s life is one of luxury and ii eta. compared with that of newspaper publisher wrestling with war prices. = = a a a. RAILROAD TERMINALS AND WAR. Mayor Kiel’s’ decision to sign the Terminal or- dinances is wise both from the standpoint of local St. Louis needs and the standpoint of the larger needs of the national emergency. We President Wilson’s appeal to the people of the country emphasized the importance of the rail- that those arteries suffer no obstruction of any kind, no inefficiency or slackeried power.”’ The deplorable freight congestion which has largely a congestion of terminals. It wag most acute in the Hast because of the great volume of traffic flowing in that direction for export while export faciilties diminished through war losses. Following our own decision to join in the war changes and fluctuations in the traffic currents are naturally to be expected. In the gatheriag of armies and assembly of equipment and sup- central rendezvous of the West. With the chain of internal communications baving strength only as the terminal links have strength, a duty exists to enlarge in all prac- ticable ways the facilities and capacity gf the great cross-roads of the railroad system. To fail to do so is to impose obstruction on war traffic, to permit a relative slackening in the power of our railroads, on which so much dependence is placed. If the expansion possible with the Ranken tract was perceived to be necessary to adequate local service seven years ago, how much more must it be necessary to adequate service now, with war burdens added to ordinary burdens? it is by no means far-fetched to say that the Ran- ken tract has a definite relation to State and national preparedness. OUR PATRIOTIC JAPANESE CITIZENS The representatives of a Japanese newspaper at Honolulu is on his way to Washington to get a ruling from the War Department on the miiltary status of 25,000 Japanese in the islands who wish to enlist. It is not generally known that there are many thousands of Japanese in the Hawaiian Islands who are citizens of the United States, and who therefore not only have the right but owe the duty of defending this country. A Japanese sub- ject, in common with the peoples of all races which are neither white nor black, may not be- come a naturalized citizen of the United States, through the normal processes of naturalization, yet they may become citizens through such col- lective naturalization as is incident to the annex- ation of territory. By section 4 of the act of Congress of April 80, 1900, after annexation of Hawaii, it was de- clared that ‘‘all persons who were citizens of the republic of Hawaii, on Aug. 12, 1898,” are “de- clared to be citizens of the United States and citizens of the Territory of Hawaii.” Thus Japa- nese, as well as Chinese, persons born or nat- uralized in Hawaii previously to Aug. 12, 1898, are citizens. The 1910 census placed the number of Japanese in the Hawaiian Islands at 79,600, many of whom had come to the islands during the preceding 10 years. However, a very large number became citizens through annexation and many more have become so since through birth within the terri- tory. = = ree A VIGILANTE MESSAGE. (The Vigilantes are an association of American writers and artists who are contributing original articles on patriotic subjects pertafhing to our foreign affairs. Its purpose is to arouse the coun- try to the importance of problems confronting us; to awaken a senée of public service in the youth ot the land; to work for mental, moral and physical preparedness, and especially to work for universal military service. The following is one of a series which will appear on this page.) THE BLUNDER. By Theodore Marburg of the Vigilantes, Former- erly United States Minister to Belgium. In the whole course of history no man has ever made so great h mistake as the German Kaiser. Milton pictured such a mistake on the part of an angel when he described Sa- tan’s revolt in heaven. But the annals of men will be searched in vain for a parallel. If there was any nation which already had @ place in the sun and which was enjoying the freedom of the seas, it was Germany. Her foreign and domestic commerce were growing by leaps and bounds. The German language clothed such treasures of literature and of knowledge, historic and scientific, that men of other tongues everywhere must needs study it. In the application of science to industry, . in the government of cities, in the successful struggle against poverty, in that battle which brings lasting gain—not the battle of man against man tut the battle of man against nature—Germany was setting an example to the world. The same may be said of her in respect of at least one department of art—that highest expression of human emotion—music. True and permanent conquest—conquest by the spirit—was hers. She need only have sat still and everything that was worth while would have come to her. A warped judgment, further weakened by deadness to the moral law, has brought all this down in ruins. Typifying and accentuat- ing the tendencies of a ruthless military class, it has brought untold disaster on the world. Did ever lack of gray matter in one brain and dearth of human feeling in one heart bring such a flood of misery upon men as this? If the world does not actually for- bid the continual existence of a system which permits the accident of birth under autocratic rule to decide the happiness or ruin of millions of men, surely it will at least deny to this one individual and to his unhappy heir, who has out-Caesared Caesar, further possibility for evil. The need of the hour is to beat Germany. But running side by side with this task is the duty of being ready, when this war is over, with an intelligent and practical plan to dis- courage future war. The latter has high and enduring importance. It must not bé over- looked even in the midst of the stern busi- ness in which we are now engaged. — At any hour may come that next great event, the throwing down by the German people of their own rulers. All the strife would then be stilled and America would at once be confronted with the question: “Are you ready to assuffie your share in a world organisation to prevent a return Hive this roads as arteries of the national life.

They want to be left out of the war altogether, and are sending a delegation to Washington to lay their case before the proper com- mittees. Of course, these Christian people will defend Colo- rado if it is invaded. They will boil out of their can- taloupe patches and forget all about their non-arm- bearing creed if any foreign foe dares show himself around Rocky Ford.

The invention of the hanging pendu- lum was the indirect cause of tall clock making. While weights were little af- fected by exposure, so delicate a piece of mechanism as a pendulum needed pro- tection. The first tal! clocks were made with a long case, the. dia! retaining many features of the lantern timepieces. With the adoption of this style an ens tirely different scheme of construction Sprang into existence. The clock be- came a piece)of furniture and was con- sidered worthy of the cabinetmaker’s consideration. Early cases had the Straight cornice seen on cupboards and high chests of drawers. The design was plain, dignified, and very architectural. If rather ponderous, it was, on the other hand, finely executed, and to a few * * * more attractive than the types Which succeeded it—although less fa- mous. Most of the clocks found in this country (the United States) are of the later period, whert the scroll top had re- placed the straight cornice, and when ornamental brasses were a part of the decoration. Early dials were of brass, and the dial plate was square. When the arched dial plate came into existence, there was scope for ornament over the clock face: and full moons, vessels with flying sails and other devices came into fashion. The character cf the dial is a means of identification. Most of the English clock- makers signed their work, but dates were scldom added. Mr. Lockwood, who has done for America what Litchfield has for England, makes some interesting classifications *ia regard to dial. orna- ments. The corner devices—‘‘spandrels”’ ~hbave been divided into three genera] classes. The earliest were heads of cherubs with outstretched wings: next followed cherubs supporting crowns, and later came more complicated heraldic ornaments.

[n other words, eggs laying by these little moths is now under way, and within a month the eating of woolens and furs by the tiny caterpillars coming from these eggs may be anticipated. The moths which are thus attracted to the lamps at night or fly away froin garments or portieres when these are handled, do not themselves eat any- thing and could not eat if they wanted to, as they have no biting or chewing mouth parts. The destruction, as ev. ery housekeeper }:nows, is occasioned en- tirely by the tiny larvae working under- neath scanty webs or in the little cases made from particles of the garments on which thev ‘feed webbed together by a whitish silk. ’ As early as possible in the spring, all woolens, furs, etc., the use of which can be dispensed with, should be put away in safe storage for the summer. Before being packed away such articles -hould be thoroughly brushed and beaten and. if possible, exposed to the strong sunlight for several hours out of doors. The brushing is very important-in order to remove the eggs or young larvae which may have escaped notice. Arti- cles so cleaned and sunned should then be put away in moth-proof containers. Materials which can not be thus put away should be given the same tho- rough cleaning and reinspected during the summer, preferably every two weeks. In no case should such examinations be at intervals of greater than three weeks or a month. Woolen clothing and furs, etc., may be packed, away safely for the summer by enclosing them in several wrappings of paper or in v’ell-made bags of cotton or linen cloth or in paper sacks, which can be tied or ctherwise securely fasi- ened, to prevent ingress of the moths. In these packages can be placed suci repellemts as tobacco dust, camphor, naphthalene cones or balls, and cedar chips, etc. The odors of these sub- Stances are disagreeable to the paren¢ moths and act as a repellent, but they will not kill eggs or larvae, which may be enclosed in the packages. Hence the necessity of the thorough-going clean- ing and airing prior to packing away. The same precautions are needed with cedar chests and wardrobes. ! The best means of protection from clothes moths and a method now avail- able in all larger towns, are the refrig- erating rooms provided for that purpose in practically all storage warehouses, and the adoption of this rmeethod of protec- tion for all valuable garments or furs during the hot months is strongly recom- mended. Rugs or carpets put away for summer should be first cleaned on both sides and beaten and then wrapped up in tight rolls ‘protected by wrapping with tar paper. The addi- tional covering or baling with burlap is not necessary, except where the rolls or bales are to be transported or will re- quire considerable handling. the ~—~ iii ‘Superstitions of the Theater 7~—_————eeaeeEeeer sn eee eee T is always thought bad luck in rehearsals of a new play to speak the last few words—the “tag” as it is called—before the op2ning night. He who has the tag to speak sub- stitutes .for it some meaningless phrase. If he spoke the true phrase the prospects of the play would be considered doomed. T is considered a fatal thing, too, to open an umbrella on the stage at the first performance. Indeed, there are scores of actors who firmly believe that to open their umbrella within the walis of a theater even for the purpose of drying it is cer- tain to bring dismissal. hy is believed to be unlucky to whistle in a dressing room—for the person who chances to be nearest the door when the crime is commit- ted will receive his dismissal before he is many hours older. T is also considered unlucky to drop a comb in the theater. Another bad omen is the spilling of wine or the breaking of a cork in the neck of a bottle. O start for the stage and then turn back for anything forgotten means that the person so doing will forget some lines in his part. F, during the first performance of a play, the curtain sho:lld rise and disclose a view of vanishing scene- shifters it is a bad omen and the play cannot succeed, according to an old belief. HE belief, which is not confined to the stage, that the passing of two persons on a staircase is a sure sign of “dead bad luck,” prevails throughout the acting profession gen- erally and among chorus girls par- ticularly. There are 10,000 air men in the Brit- ish army. ee \Catarrh i Dangerous To be able to breathe freely, hear plainiy, smel!, taste and arise: in the morning refreshed ana strong with head and throat clear and free from phlegm are conditions that make life worth while.

In my classes I tell the girls that it is well to save, by making their everyday hats, enough tu buy one good dress hat. Of course, such hats have a style not possible for an amateur to give, and every woman today needs such a hat. So many are the costumes, and so prevalent the style of having a hat for each, even to re- peating the dress trimming on the hat, that more hats are needed than in any previous season; yet this need not be a difficulty if a few rules of hat making are learned. “The trimming is so simipie, so much of it consisting of the ready-made or- naments and flowers, that any novice, after careful study of the*hats in the shop windows, can trim her own. “The first thing that my pupils do is tow cut out a crown to fit the head. Its shape must be the kind that becomes eyes, hair and face contour. The aver- age size is 8% inches long and seven wide. It is best to start with a big piece of paper, and, folding it fan- fushion, graduate the measurements to fi, the crown. Then begin with buckram and cut out the shape you wish for the crown. The small hats are all high and the large rather low, narrower in front and back than at the sides. “If you do not wish to make your own frame, you can buy for 95 cents or a dollar a shaped frame ready to cover. aaa ee work on hats dees not need care- — ——— FE MINUTES!

For the covered hat, get our your piece bags and materials left over from other days, brocades, Georgette crepe, satin, a bit of cording for the edges, or fancy braid or straw. and, as they are covering the straws up so uch, the satin facing next the face or the crown covers a multitude of last year’s fade. “As to rae there is so little change from last séason and such latitude in form that you hardly could get out of fashion. Take your last year's sailor, get some coloring material, dress it over, iron out the rim while damp, get a new |ornament, and you have a new hat. In fact, it is really wiser this season not ta get new hats. There is bound to be a marked changed next season, because the styles of these last two seasons have been so similar. The little turbans are better than ever this season, with Straight brims and turndown brims. “The wholesale houses are using their last year’s shapes, so close are the Styles. The use of hand embroidery is smart this year, and Chinese ornaments are excellent. There is a popular trim- ming of embroidery on the ‘edge of the hat, followed into the crown. This is of- ten carried up from the costume. It may be done on the satin or crepe hats with smart effects. The colors are as gay on the hats as on the dresses, and there is much beading. The fabric hats are going to rival the straws, and, once you have learned the simple trick of covering a frame with fabric, vou can have as many hats as you have gowns, at a cost less than of one expensive one “The remnant counters are most prac- iical places today.

The use of wal- nut, as the wood most generally em- ployed, gave way to that of mahogany. The alterations in design were marked in the chair of the period; the typical chair with cabriole legs, no leg rails, little carving and simple back composed of two uprights and a plain unpierced center splat, which, with gundry vari- ations, had been in vogue since the reign of William III, gave way to some- thing much more elaborate. Especially was this the case with regard to the backs of chairs, for now the center splat was pierced and profusely carved, while the uprights and the upper cross piece of the back also came in for their share of carving and elaboration. Although the cabriole Jeg still continued, straight legs and leg rails reappeared. This period of furniture takes its name from a certain cabinetmaker namej Chippendale, who flourished in St. Mar- tin’s Lane, London, during the middle of the Eighteenth Century, and whose famous book, ‘‘The Gentleman and Cab- inetmakers Director,’ attained wide- spread fame. Chippendale quaintly sets forth at the beginning of the book that it is. ‘‘cal- culated to Inspire and Refine the present Taste and suited to the Fancy and Cir- cumstances of Persons in all Degrees of Life;’’ and, though one may smile at the phraseology, the book undoubtedly went far towards fulfilling its aim, for the designs of Chippendale, and the fur- niture made under his supervision, cer- tainly did ‘‘improve the present taste,"’ and marked a real advance on what had gone before. Chippendale’s chairs show several dis- tinct varieties of design; it may be wel! to state here that the amount of really authentic furniture, known to have ac- tually come from Chippendale’s own workshop, is comparatively small, while furniture, and especially chairs, which owe their designs more or less entirely to him, but were made by his contem- poraries, more probably than by him- self, are numerous, and are known as “Chippendale chairs.’ Of course, indi- vidual specimens may ve by the master himself, but it is hard to prove it. The chair shown here illustrates many of the distinctive features of his de- signs; the vase-shaped, elaborately pierced ani carved center splat, joining directly to the chair seat, is a marked Chippendale characteristic, and so is the bow-shaped upper crosspiece of the back. The proportions of this chair back show all Chippendale’s unerring feeling for line and spacing. It will be noticed that there has been no sparing of the wood in cutting out the fine curves of the back; parsimony, in this respect, has often betrayed the origin of a modern imitation so-called “Chip- pendale chair.’ “Chippendale made simpler chairs than the one illustrated here, but he also made far more elaborate ones. The three types of his most elaborate chairs are: 1. Those which introduce knots and ‘hows and flowing ends of ribbon into the backs, and, although ribbons may seem out of place in the design for a wood- en chair back, yet the result is really good in the hands of this master de- signer. Second and third come his Chinese and Gothic chairs, much prized by collectors; but, in spite of their fine workmanship, hardly as beautiful as the simpler de- signs. Chippendale borrowed ideas for his furniture freely, but he may be said, as a rule, io have improved on what he borrowed, and from all his combination and adaptation something fine general- ly resulted. Unlike his immediate suc- cessors, he made use of neither inlay nor paint, but relied on the beauty of the wood and the excellence of his designs to get his effects. English furniture owes much to him and to his influence his ee An Ancient iudestiniels HE real estate mortgage is the Olldest.of all investments.

PACKERS OFFER THEIR RESOURCES 70 GOVERNMENT Also Propose Legislation. for Trading Control and Price Reg- ulation of All Foodstuffs, By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 17.—A develop- ment of great importance in the war sit- uation was the result of a conference} between Secretary of Agriculture Hous- ton and five men representing an in- dustry that does a business of more than $1,000,000,000 a year. They were J. Ogden Armour, L. F. Swift, Edwin Morris, Thomas EB. Wilson and Edward A. Cud- ahy, representing the packing and beef monopoly. Invited to a conference with the head of the Agriculture Department, these men not only offered their entire re- sources to the Government during the war with Germany, but urged the pas- sage by Congress of legislation to give the Council of National Defense power to supervise the distribution of Yood- stuffs of all kind and to fix a maximum and minimum price for it. The proposal met with the approval of the Secretary and he will at once undertake the preparation of a_ Dill embodying their suggestion. He will go even further and urge upon Congress that power be given to him to license all classified food distributing agencies so that he and his agents can at all times trace the origin of movements on the part of middlemen and food manipu- lators to control the output of the vari- ous necessaries of life and prevent ex- tortion in the distribution and sale of them. Most Important War Development. Following the President’s proclamation urging upon the public the systematic conservation of all the resources of the nation, and warning middlemen who have in the past manipulated the distri- bution and sale of food products at enormous profits to themselves, the pro- position made by the Chicago packers was regarded as the most important actual development in the domestic pre- parations for war with Germany. The conference between Secretary Houston and the packers was arranged by Julius Rosenwald, a member of the, Advisory Committee of the Council of National Defense. Rosenwald is chair- man of the sub-committee on supplies of the National Council and will have direct charge of the problems arising from the purchase of food and clothing for the army of the United States. The suggestion that the Government take over the absolute control of food supplies and fix the maximum and min- imum prices-to be charged for them was voluntary on the part of the pack- ers. Armour is understood to have out- lined the plan to Secretary Houston. The packers themselves had discussed the matter in great detail before com- ing to Washington and even reduced it to concrete form. Arméur and Cudahy occupied less than 10 minutes in placing it before Secretary Houston. Saves $100,000,000 to Public. The offer made by them to cover their own contribution to the defense of the nation was to distribute the meat and other products handled by them on an equitable basis and insuring them a minimum of profit. It is estimated by one of the packers that the saving to the people will exceed more than $100,- 000,000 a year. Secretary Houston expressed the opin- ion that the plen proposed by the pack- ers is one of the most important of the many schemes worked out to put the United States on a war footing. He said that the matter could be regulated by legislation. He does not entertain the slightest doubt that Congress has the power to confer authority upon the Council of National Defense to direct the licensing of food distributing agen- cies subject to regulations covering cost to consumers.

Hickel had heen ac- cused of robbing Theodore GQ Lei- brock of 8123 Alfred avenue, near King’s highway and Arsenal street, at 1:20 a. m., March 22. When Leibrock first saw him after the arrest he said Hickel "looked like the man” who robbed him. Through the efforts of Hickel’s at- torney, William Zachritz, it was shown that Hickel was arrested on a minor charge at Grand and Easton avenues 30 minutes before Leibrock was robbed. Shortly after the robbery § an abandoned automobile was found on the King’s highway viaduct. In this machine was a purse identified by Leibrock as his. Later a’ man was ar- rested with Leibrock’s Cigarette case in his possession. He said he had botght it from an ex-convict.

And, except in one or two localities, Fatima’s big lead is increasing faster today than ever—in spite of the big sales of cheaper cigarettes, packed to imitate Fatima. Of course, Fatima’s remarkable sales do not make Fatimas taste any better "Way in Front for 8 Years —in fact, no cigarette can just suit every man’s personal taste. But it proves that MOST men find that Fatimas keep their promises—that Fatimas do taste good and are com- fortable while you are smoking and that after you smoke they leave you feeling just as fine as before. Yes, Fatimas are sensible—and some day you'll become a Fatima smoker. Lipgale Myers Tobocee Co: The Original Turkish Blend 20 for 15¢ its original beauty.

ARL MORRIS likes Referee Bill Brown's methods so well that he has invited him to referee his coming bout with Frank Moran at Kansas City. It's the first time a New York referee has peen honored by Kansas City in this manner. Morris probably has a reason for this choice. If accounts of the Ful- ton match are to be believed, Morris was almost ag foul in his fighting as Fulton, with the exception of the point of attack. He got away with it. No less than three times did he butt Fulton, opening a gash over the Minnesotan’s eye, on one occa- sion, reports state. The third time he Was cautioned by Brown, but that was all Again, it was stated, that Merris encircled Fulton’s body with one arm and whaled him with the free hand. It may be that Fulton’s deliberate foul was due to the failure of the oFthatel to properly check Morris. That, however, merely explains with- out excusing the offense. The point poem ingly io be inferred is that Frank Moran is zoing to have a stormy time at Kansas City, if Brown, at Kansas City, lets Morris do what he did in New York. If Morris has to resort to foul stuff, we're off of him. A game fel- low, he should be made to conform to rules, if he conducts himself as detailed accounts say he did against Fulton. Only on a clean fight basis can he he advocated as a prospective oppo- nent of Jess Willard for the cham- pionship. Willard Not Eager. B'" don't worry about Willard, by the time he makes up his mind to fight Morris, they'll be walking slow behind us, Bo. * . SUBSCRIBER—Guisto of the Cleve- land Club is neither Cuban nor Mex- ican.

Despite bad weather con- ditions. the Cardinals have played to g00d crowds, the most notable being that near 26,000 attendance at Cin- cinnati.

The $175,000 raised to cover the first payment for the club has not et been turned over to Mrs. Britton, ut will be, it is thought, some day this week.

Rickey says the sale of such titkets has been remarkably heavy.

Hinchman got a triple end double, while Old Man Schulte stole two ases. Mr. Alexarder was crushed by the Braves, 8—1, yesterday, chiefly because Maranville, Bailey and Konetchy bunched triples in the the fourth inning, yielding two runs.

Indians Dream of Flag Champion Pitcher of 1912 Ready to Spring a Surprise on the Baseball World When Manager Sends Him in, He Declares. « By W. J. O’ Connor HETHER Cleveland is to be a contender this season in the ultimate disputes of the vicious American League pennant squabble depends! largely upon Joe Wood’s ability to regain his 1915 form, a modus operand, that netted Smoky Joe 15 victories and five defeats. Owner Jim Dunn of the Indians in- vested $15,000 in Wood's right arm, last season an invalid with neuritis. In the spring of 1916, Dunn paid $50,- 000 for Tris Speaker and made about 50 per cent on the investment. He's playing a longer shot in his gamble with Wood. The Cleveland club is now being considered as a pennant pretender in a league composed of seven first div- ision clubs. rior to the acquisition of Tris Speaker, the Igdians were as colorless as a battle ship in war paint. Tris added a crimson streak of ag- gressiveness and a punch unequalled anywhere in the confines of the U. Joe Wood is expected to intensify this streak and add that touch “hat Cleveland : needs to rise above the mire of mediocrity and seriously con- test the final disposition of the cur- rent flag. Why Wood Is Confident. Wood is confident he can do his share. His confidence is almost con- ceit. And there are good reasons for it. Joe Wood is not yet 28 years old, although he has been @n the American League since 1908. He was born Oct. 26, 1889, in Kansas City and he joined the Red Sox when he was 18. Since that time he has won 117 games and lost 66, a grand average of .680. He didn’t pitch a game last | season, having trouble with both his arms and his contract. This season he is eminently satisfied with both, having received a salary of $6000 from the generous owners of the Cleveland elub. “T have worked carefully’ this spring. said Wood today, “and I feel en confi t that my arm is as good as it ever was. have taken great care in conditioning myself.

For instance, after being in camp a week I started out by warming up for 10 minutes and then increasing the time by three minutes every day until I had reached the stage where I could put all I had on the ball for a 35-minute warmup. That's about equivalent to the strain of pitching a regulation game.

Then I will show you as much speed as I ever had. If I fail I will not exact anv salary.’’ Wood's appearance might deceive one as to his age. weight and height.

Then she changed a rock into an invisible horse with wings and away she flew after the Prince and Mimi. She arrived at the palace where the Prince lived just as they were driving in through the gate, and while they could not see her, she could see the ungrate- ful Mimi sitting beside the Prince, haughty and proud. She waved her cane before Mimi, who thought it was a passing breeze that brushed her face, and as it was dark. the Prince did not see the face of his bride until they entered the hall to the palace. Then he gave a start and all the servants fled from her, for instead of her beautiful face Mimi wore the face of a withered old witch. “What is this you have done?” said the Prince in a rage. “You have de- ceived me. You are a witch instead of a beautiful woman. Be gone from here. I will not have a witch for a wife."’ Poor Mimi was driven from the palace and she slept all night in the woods inbtead of the palace where she had ex- pected to be mistress. In the morning she found her way back to the place where she had lived, but the mansion and beautiful grounds had disappeared and she saw only a cave with an old witch sitting in front of the door nodding. The old witch told her she could live there if she wished. Mimi was so grate- ful for shelter and kindness, now that she was in such terrible trouble, that the witch almost forgave her then and there She knew, however, that Mimi needed a leason, so she let her wear the withered face for a year, and then one day she changed her withered face to her own beautiful face and the cave into the mansion, just as it had been. Mimi was no longer proud and haughty. She was kind to the beggar ry «’ i ae + TR who came to her door and no longer 9 ay. ni pew at vr cs . ? i : Seer INES HTS. xa a t, a Pe. ye “A Soy Re ee ek + | Si , ‘ive Ag 7 ’ ES" ise, tiles sk oat il ie eae ae 4 *.

' One day the old lady said: “We will drive to the palace of your husband, I am sure he will be expecting you.’’ “He no longer loves me,” said Mimi, “and I do not deserve to have him love mée.’’ “We will see,”’ said the old lady. And the next thing Mimi knew she was standing on the steps of the mansion with her husband, just as she did the day she had left the old lady without a word of thanks or thought for her com- fort. But now she was saying: “I cannot leave this dear old lady, who has been so kind’ to me. She must g0 with us.”” And the Prince said she would live with them in the palace the rest of her days. So the old lady drove away with them and the Prince never seemed to know he had been separated from his bride a year, for fairies and good witches can make all things as they wish, for it is use their magic skill.
