OTHERS ARE QUESTIONED) Mansur Seeks to .Learn Who Was to Get Fund for Passage of Salary Increase Bill. President Mansur of the Board of Po- lice Commissioners today resumed his investigation of the fund being raised among Sergeants and patrolmen in con- nection with the passage by the Legis- lature of the bill increasing the salary of each Sergeant, patrolman, probation- ary patrolman and turnkey $10 a munth: His first action was to consider a written report from Patrolman Wil- liam McCormack, representative of the Central District patrolmen on the executive committee of the Police Relief Association, who col- lected $700 toward the fund. Mc- Cormack last night was ordered by Chief Young to make the report. It was gone over by Mansur in the presence of Chief Young, Secretary Es- py of the association, and a. stenogrs- pher, and Mansur afterward called in McCormack, who was questioned svout all details of the report. Patrolman Ray Cummings, secretary of the association, and Patrolman John Sanders also were questicned. Others summoned were Patrolmen Charles Dumont and John McCaffery and Sergeant Steve Collins. They with McCormack, Cummings and Sanders composed the Salary Committee, a su)- committee of the Executive Comittee of the association. This committee had charge of the salary increase bill. Ca~t. Schwartz Demands Keys, Another important incident of the in- vestigation was a demand by Capt.) Schwartz of the Central District of Mc- Cormack for the keys of the Relief Association drawer in the Central Dis- trict. McCormack turned over the key with- out objection and Capt. Schwartz tock the contents of the drawer to Presi-’ dent Mansur. No information as. to ‘what was found was made public,..but McCormack said the drawer contained only the record of the collection of dues of the Relief Association. President Mansur learned in his in- vestigation yesterday that Sergeants William Stinger and Sidney Sears of the Central district had knowledge of the collection of the fund but so far there has been no evidence of know!l- edge of the collection by higher officers in the department. The investigation has extended only to officers of the Central District and no information has been obtainable as ito whether it will be extended to other districts, though it is expected that of- ficers from the outlying districts will be called in to be questioned. One purpose of the investigation is to learn whether there was an agreement between officers representing the Police Relief Association, or representing po- licemen, with any members of the Leg- islature regarding any money to be paid tu them after the passage of the bill. ) # Shortly before the last Legislature met the Police Board permitted contri- butions of $2 from each man to a fund to employ an attorney to draw the sal- ary increase bill and to pay legitimate expenses. Crites Drew Up Bill. Joseph J. Crites of Rolla, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor last year, and a political and personal friend of Representa- tive Frank’ H. Farris of Rolla, Demo- cratic floor leader of the House, was employed to draw the bill. He made frequent visits to Jefferson City dur- ing the session of the Legislature. Farris aided Representative John Moroney of St. Louis, who introduced the bill in the House, to obtain its passage. ; Patrolman Ray Cummings, secre- tary of the Police Relief Associa- tion, said today that -he collection under investigation had not been au- thorized by the association, and that he had no knowledge of it. Cummings said that Crites was paid a retainer, the amount of which he could not remembesz, and that Criter had not submitted his bill in full. Cum- mings said that Crites was selected to draw the bill because of a ‘eltef that he had great influence with rural mem- bers of the Legislature and with leaders in the two houses. The original asesement of $2 per man netted a fund of $2000, a few of the men failing to contribute. This was not all expended and the contributors re- celved back a small part of News to Him, Moroney Says. The police salary bill was introduced cintiamstiatnae Saat ot.

ADMINISTRATION APPARENTLY HAS WON JAPANESE ELECTION Leaders in Movement for More De- mocracy Seem to Have Lost Their Fight. TOKIO, April 21.—The indications arz that the administration has won the elections. The result will be closs and many outlying districts are stil to be heard from. The campaign which has just ended in ‘Japan marked an important point in the struggle for a more representa- tive form of government, in which the victory apparently has been won by the opponents of such reforms. Count Okuma, leader of the jnovement for more democracy, was replaced last year as Premier by Count Terauchi, one of the most uncompromising opponents of the new school which threatened to revolutionize the form of government. Count Terauchi’s avowed political slo- gan is a “No party form of govern- ment.” The fall of Count Okuma re- sulted in a sharp attack on the Ter- auchi ministry, on the ground that it was not representative of the control- ling elements in the House of Repre- sentatives. — 10,000 BERLIN CHILDREN TO BE SENT TO DENMARK COPENHAGEN, via London, April 21. ~—A Berlin dispatch says a Danish physician has offered 1,000,000 kroner (about $270,000) to the Berlin Municipal Council with which to send about 10. 000 Berlin children to Denmark.

Brown, president of the St. Louis branch of the National Security League, in an interview today, gave his unreserved approval to the Post-Dis- pitch’s form of petition to Missouri Con- stessmen to vote for the administration conscription bill. He urged every mem- ber of the league,. and all others who approve the idea of universal military service, to clip the petitions from the Post-Dispatch and circulate them for signatures. “No more patriotic work could be undertaken by any newspaper than the Post-Dispatch’s plan to demonstrate to the Missouri Congressmen that public sentiment is strongly ir favor of the ad- ministration’s conscription bill,””’ Brown said to a Post-Dispatch reporter. “I certainly approve in the strongest kind of way work of this kind. Duty of Congressmen. “Our Congressmen are supposed to represent in Congress their constituents back home, not to, misrepresent them. Ifthe people want conscription, as I believe they do, they ought to let their Congressmen know it. “I believe that 90 per cent of the peo- ple want universal military service. The volunteer plan, as the President pro- poses to use it, will take care of: the people who wish to volunteer. Hvery country has its soldiers of fortune who iy military service and they will have an opportunity to render service under this plan. “But for the organization of the great- er army there must be universal service and no compromise. “We stand greatly in need of men for the navy today. In fact, we have got to have men, and men of high type. There is a pressing demand for expert machinists, engineers, electricians, etc. These men must be of the selected type. “The volunteer system is not getting them in sufficient numbers. The Navy Department, in this great crisis, is hay- ing to send ships to sea to meet the enemy not properly manned. Many of the men on the ships are not properly trained; in fact, some are going to sea within ten days after enlistment. “Congress is discussing plans for the enlistment of 8,000 additional recruits for the navy. The fact is that the navy cannot get the men-already provided for. These are unpleasant facts, but they are facts. These cdnditions must be remedied. “Let Your Congressman Knew.” ‘IT hope the people of Missouri will | their Congressmen know how they stand before the conscription bill is put to a vote. If they do I feel sure what the verdict will be. The people ought not to sit still, in a crisis of this kind, and let Congress defeat a measure of such vast importance to the country. “I cannot too strongly urge upon all members of the Security League, as well as all others who believe in uni- versal military service, to clip these petitions from the Post-Dispatch, have them signed by citizens, and forward them .to their Congressmen at once. The representatives in Congress should be told what they are expected to do.

Gustavus A. Buder, who a week ago was tendered by Mayor Kiel the posi- tion of Director of Public Welfare, to- day accompanied his letter declining the place with a ,deed by which he and his wife transferred to the city title to 70% acres of land on the south bank of the Meramec River, opposite Valley Park, in St. Louis County, to be used for recreation purposes. It includes: a bathing beach. The land extends 1000 feet along the Meramec. The deed provides that it is to be maintained by the city and that within a reasonable time the city must erect such buildings and recreation facilities as are needed for a proper enjoyment of the park by the public. The Mayor, after reading Buder’s letter, said he thought the park would be an ideal place for camping parties from the city under mynicipal regula- tion. Buder and his brothers, William /F., Leo R., and Oscar E., in 1912 gave the city a block of ground at California avenue and Rutger street for a south- side playground, as a memorial to their mother, Susan R. Buder. In declining the position of Director of Public Welfare, Buder said he preferred to serve the public in a private capac- ity rather than in public position, and that his business as a lawyer, and as president of the.

OTTAWA, April 21—Additional details toncerning the difficulties that con- fronted the troops of Canada in their capture of Vimy Ridge April 9 were discloged in an official statement from Canadian war records office in London. Especial tribute iz paid to the troops on the extreme left. “At 6:80 on Monday morning, April 9,” the statement says, “the great at- tack was launched with terrific fire from our massed artillery. ‘Our ‘heavi- est’ bombarded the enemy positions, on smashed to uaselessress. An intense barrage of shrapnel was laid along the front. “Piurries of snow drifted over the battlefield as the Canadians left their ‘jumping off’ trenches. Behind the rolling barrage the light was yet ob- scure enough to lessen the accuracy of the German riflemen and machine gun- ners. The first stage of the advance was made over great mine craters, thou- sands of shell holes, in a vast puddle of mud, crumbled trenches, coils and hedges of barbed wire. But into and under the fire of the enemy the long lines of infantry moved forward un- broken. . "The troops on the extreme left reached their goals onl yto find them- selves subjected to heavy at close range fire of machine guns and rifles. Germans in the Rear. “To add to the situation, tunnels of the hostile line over which we had ad- vanced now disgorged Germans who promptly re-occupied their old trenches and opened fire on our rear. “The troops on the extreme left fought all day against the surrounding Germans and by 10 o'clock at night suc- ceeded in disposing of the enemy in their rear and capturing the major por- tion of the enemy trenches in their cen- ter. “*The pimple’ to the north remained to the enemy but by then snow was falling heavily and it was decided to consolidate the hard won gains. The ‘pimple“ would keep for tomorrow. “In the meantime the other troops had fought forward to one line after another, and not without casualties. Only a small percentage were fatal, however, and the ty of the wounds were of minor tharacter. “From the fall of the first man our battalion stretcher bearers and every unit of the Canadien Medical Corps were on the alert. “On the German second line troops drew breath and consolidated their gains. Prisoners were already hurry- ing to our rear in hundreds, pathetically and often ludicrously grateful to the fortunes of war that taved them alive for capture. ; “The barrage lifted and the troops oa the right moved forward to the German third line, then advanced again for a distance of about 1200 yards. “This took in several villages, Hill No, 1@ and a number of fortified woods and still the enemy surrendered by hun- dreds and scuttled rearward to safety. Their resistance grew feebler: their hands more eager to ascend high above their neat at each stage of our ad- vance. Resistance Breaks, “At 10:30 the snow ceased and the sun shone fitfully. By 1 o’clock every point in the enemy’s third line had been reached and secured. Shortly after this the Canadian corps’ prisoners numbered three battalion commanders, 15 other officers and more than 3000 non-commis- sioned officers and men with plenty more in sight making for our cages as fast as their legs d carry them. “The final stage of the attack of the| troopa on the right was now made. They issued upon the eastern slopes of Vimy Ridge, the first allied troops to look down upon the level plateau since the German occupation in 1914 They saw the villages of Farbus, Vimy and Petit Vimy at their feet and be- yond these the hamlets of Willervall, Bailleul, Oppy and Mericourt. “From that distance the little clusters of houses and gardens showed nothing of the devastation and ruthless occu- pation they had known so long and the wide, quiet fields displayed no scar of battle.

WASHINGTON, April 21.—A week has brought a great change in the at- titude of the members of Congress on the Government proposal to re- cruit an adequate army for the de- fense of the nation by the seelctive draft feature of conscription, This fact was developed by a can- vass of the two “houses undertaken by members of it and checked up to- day by reporters of the Post-Dis- patch. The figures of this poll show a lrage increase in the number of Senators and Representatives in fa- vor of sélective draft. There is fi te a decrease in the number of suiporting thé House voluntéer pero The total numter in both houges who now favor the selective draft proposition .is 274 against 182 a week ago. .« Those ‘eho are still against the se- lective draft feature number 37, as against 92 last week. The completed canviss in each House is as follows: | Senate:F or the selective draft bill, 77; against, 5; undecided, 13; absent (Senator Goff of Virginia), 1. Total, 96. The House: For the selective draft bill, 197; against, 32; for the House volunteer bill, 74; undecided, 102; ab- sentees and vacancies, 30. +Total, 436. Of the 74 members of the haouse who favor the volunteer sys- tem a majority have indicated their purpose to vote for the Government selective draft bill if the volunteer project fails. It ig believed by the leaders of the fight for the selective draft bill, that while the opposition in the House to it will be vigorous, it will be of brief duration and result in the rejection of | the volunteer measure and the pas- sage of the selective draft bill by odds of at least 3 to 1.

There are 42 smallpox patients at Quarantine, « greater number than at any time since 1904. All of last year thcre were only 94 cases in St. Louis. The Barr Branch Library, Jefferson and Lafayette avenues, was closed and fumigated yesterday following the dis- covery that the negro janitor, Boyd Beckwith of 3400 Hickory street, was recovering from smallpox and that he had been working regularly. Fred Ladford of 2626 Lafayette ave- nue, a conductor on the Jefferson ave- nue line, applied at the City ‘Dispensary for treatment yesterday and was found to have smallpox. Dr. Woodruff said his investigations had led him to believe that the disease had been spread in St. Louis by neg- roes, who, he said, had been coming here from Southern states for several months in great numbers.

In an attempt to guard against dam- age to the piers and understructure of the Merchants bridge, National Guards- men have strung more than 200 feet of woven wire and barb wire along Ferry street, directly beneath the bridge. The Terminal Railroad Association supplied the wire, énough being furnished for similar work on the East side of the bridge. Poles seven feet high were set around the base of the piers and the wire strung to within a few inches ‘of the top. On top of the poles were placed heavy strands of barb wire. The of- ficers said it would require heavy clip- pers to cut the wire. There are 88 soldiers on guard at the bridge. They are located in a two- story frame house nearby. The guard for the east approach of the bridge, consisting of 15 men, leaves the Mis- side at 7 o’tlock each evening and remains on duty for 24 hours. The men work in shifts of five, being on duty three and six hours, alternately.

FOOD SUPPLY Recommends That Defense Council Be Given Power to Fix Prices in Emergency. FOR $250,000,000 ASKS Department of Agriculture Will Direct Production Distribu- tion and Economies. WASHINGTON, April 21—The Gov- ernment’s program for food control dur. ing the war was put before Congress vesterday’ by Secretary Houston in a communication to the Senate asking power for the Department of Agriculture to take direct supervision of food pro- duction and distribution in the United States and requesting a $25,000,000 appro- priation for putting the plan in opera- tion. Authority was asked for the Council of National Defense in an emergency to buy and sell foodstufia and to fix maxi- mum or minimum prices. The Govern- ment’s plan is first to make a complete survey of the country’s food supply to determine its ownership and distribu- tion, then if necessary to license and control the operations of all concerns engaged in the manufacture of food or feeds, agricultural implements and all materials required for agricultural pur- poses. Authority is sought for the agri- Operate the concerns if at any time it appears that course is demanded by sea public interests. Would Prepare for Emergency. Giving the Government power to deal directly in foodstuffs probably would make its application unnecessary, Secre- tary’ Houston declared, as its very ex- istence would tend to keep conditions normal, He proposed that the Govern- ment should have full discretion, saying it might be wise if an emergency ‘arose to fix prices on a single commodity. Market grades and classes for farm products, Secretary Houston said, is one of the chief needs of the country to in- sure proper conditions in producing and marketing farm products. Amthority also was asked for the De- partment to require of transportation companies preference for the movement of farm machinery, seeds, fertilizers and materials that enter into the processes of food production. — Distribution Plans. Enlargement of the news service of the department was recommended as a means of insuring equitable distribu- tion to prevent undue food shortage in any consuming center and to provide against wastes due to temporary over- supplies of food in some communities. The department wishes to allow the market service division to assist in ob- taining ''rerouting of foodstuffs to re- liev congestion on transportation lines. In its plan for an investigation of the present food supply the department has arranged for the help of the Federal Trade Commission, which, with the de- partment, was directed by President Wilson early in the year to make an inquiry to ascertain the amount of food stocks and to determine if the anti- trust laws have been violated in food preduction, storage and _ distribution. That inquiry has been halted for lack of an appropriation. The present Con- gress, however, has voted money for conducting it—the House the $400,000 and the Senate $260,000. Food Survey Necessary. The two houses are expected to get together on an amount to be appro- priated for this specific inquiry and as soon as it is available the trade com- mission will proceed. «The commission is laying plans for the inquiry and Called into conference more than a dozen Senators and Representatives for suggestions. The concegt of opinion, it was said afterward, was that the com- mission should interpret the act creating it 'n the most liberal fashion and should get down to basic facts concerning the handling of food resources, Some officials believe the trade com- mission has enough power to make un- necessary the use of extreme legisla. tion in regulating the control of food. although additional powers should be given for an emergency.

Many of them had sugges- tions to offer as to the scope of the investigation. as outlined tentatively by the commission the inquiry me go into every phase of food produc- tion and distribution. Officials of all departments and divisions of the Government realize that the facts of the situation existing must be learned before remedies can be planned. Now, no one knows how much food there is in the country and how it is distributed. Of certain foods the Government has exact knowledge, but of others it has vir- tually none. Prohibition Move Unlikely, Suggestions that the Government is contemplating measures for nat- fonal prohibition during the war as a means of increasing the food supply are met with the statement by of- ficials that no early action in that direction is likely, as it is not con- sidered necessary at this time. Seé- retary Houston alluded to it in his letter to the Senate by a reference to European action in restricting the manufacture of alcoholic liquors... He made no recommendatioris, however, merely pointing out that the Euro- pean Governments have saved con- siderable food that way. Estimates, he said, put the amount of food made into liquor in the United States at about $145,000,000 worth annually. Houston warned against agricul- tural experiments in new areas and tests of new crops. The increase of food, he said, must come about large- ly through increased farm efficiency and on farms and ranges already in operation. The problem, he defined as one of more concentration of effort; not that of putting more land unger cultivation. Invest in U.S. War.

Espionage Bill ‘Accbiidaiitia | President to Promulgate Regulations Agreed Upon ' - by 43 to 33 Ballot WASHINGTON, April 21.—The Senate recorded itself yesterday in favor of a partial press censorship during the war. A censorship clause of the administra- tion's espionage bill, after decided modi- fication, was retained in the Dill by a vote of 43 to 33, in which partisan di- visions were disregarded. The vote came after three days of sharp debate and was regarded as definitely fore- casting final retention of the censorship provisions. Later the bill, still far from completed, was laid aside indefinitely to permit consideration beginning today, of the war army measure. The House Judi- ciary Committee has completed its drait of the espionage bill, also with a cen- sorship clausé, and will report it Mon- day. The provision as finally accepted by the Senate follows: “Whoever, in time of war, in viola- tion of reasonable regulations to be pre- scribed by the President, which he is hereby authorized to make and promul- gate, shall publish any information with respect to the movement, numbers, de- scription, condition or disposition of any of the armed forces, ships, aircraft, or war materials of the United States, or with respect to the plans or conduct of any naval or military operations, or with respect to any works or measures undertaken for or connected with, or intended for the fortification or defense of any place, or any other information relating to the public defense calculated to be useful to the enemy, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 or by imprisonment for not more than 10 years or by both, such fine and imprisonment; provided that noth- ing in this section shall-be construed to Hmit or restrict, nor shall any regu- lation herein provided for limit or re- strict, any discussion, comment or critt- cism of the acts or policies of tns “dov- ernment. or its representatives of the publication of the same.”’ Before the final vote the originat com- mittee draft, much more sweeping aud drastic, was greatly modified. The committee proposed to prohibit not only the publicatign of military informatton, except under presidential regulation, rut also its collection, recording or attempts. to elicit it. Elimination of these ac?i- tional restrictions was agreed to by those in charge of the bill and approved by the Senate. Another change, upon an amendment by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, provided that the presi- dential regulation shall be reasonable. ALDERMEN OVERRIDE ALOE Laclede Gaslight Bill Is Referred to Special Committee. In a controversy between President Aloe and Alderman Scholl as to whether a bill should be referred to special con- mittee of which the latter is chairman or be committed to a standing commit- tee, 20 Alderman yesterday sustained Scholl. The measure proposes a fran- chise tax of 5 per cent on the earnings of the’ Laclede Gas Light Co.” President Aloe expressed the opinion that all bills should be referred to per- manent committees, and was seconded by Alderman Barney L. Schwartz and Hart, who declared that the entrusting of legislation to special committees was “a vicious practice.”” Scholl moved to suspend the rules and override Pres- ident Aloe. The motion received the requisite two-thirds’ majority. French ‘Military Instructors Reach United States.

ETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Set Maximum Wheat Price. fo the Editor of the Post-Dissatch. * Evidently there are no patriots on the grain exchanges of the country. Since war with Ger- nany was declared, prices on wheat have mounted to 70 cents a bushel. Corn has risen propor- fonately and oats and other provisions have pared over the moon.” This despite an appeal om Président Wilson that each and every person @o his share in aiding our foreign allies.

But ill the wild gamble in the grain market contin- | and prices mount in leaps and bounds. * Bread, today, is selling higher in the United tes than it is in England, and England has n’at war for nearly three years.

Civilian demonstrations against the unbearable hardships and deprivations resulting from the war have taken place in Turkey, in Bulgaria and even in Germany itself. Having been begun, they may be expectéd to continue at intervals. For, with the ominous Petrograd precedent so fresh in mind, will autocracy dare to risk suppression by force, even if they increase in violence and show of strength? The people of Petrograd poured into the streets as a protest in boots against the lack of bread. When their rulers sent soldiery against them, the people fell on their knees. The troops refused to fire. The protest against the scarcity of loaves became an insurrection. A. food riot became a revolution. Autocracy was upset and democracy Ce ee ae | opposition to the President’s vital plans for the ve is too painful to be recalled at the present ur. There was no sensible reason then, and there is none now, why a Minnesota farmer shouldn't swap products with an Ontario farther on the same terms he offers a Wisconsin farmer. We simply have had to convince the gentleman from Ontario that we have no designs on his farm when we are only trying to establish satisfactory connections with his farm products. His native shyness is giving way before our studied friendliness. The great war is bringing us closer together. = = r-—r “Gen. Nivelle appears to have become the one great individual figure of France. In the days of Joffre one often heard of other Generals— Foch, Castelnau and Maud-huy.

In other words, from salaries paid by the tax- payers a total of $3250 was permitted by the board to be subscribed for the purpose of forcing more taxes from the taxpayer. Why should a matter of this sort cost so much? Why should a public proposal that should stand or fall on its own merit cost anything at all? But it seems that .the original demand was that each member of the force should pay $10. Asa board now superseded would permit only $2 of this to be collected, and as the salary grab bill has been passed, attempt is now made to collect $8 more from each policeman. It is a “debt of hon- or” each should pay, we are told. Can a debt of honor carry so much suspicion of dishonor? The 1626 individual debts of honor make a collective debt of honor of $13,000. To whom was so large a sum owed in honor. Who was to get the money? Let us find out. Perhaps a lead has been struck that will disclose a rich mine of information on legislative methods. A §2 subscripgion for such @ purpose differs from an $8 subscription only in degree, not in principle. The sessions of 1913 and 1915 also closed with a scandal over the police salary-grab bill which in those years was defeated. As long as the par- tisan control of St. Louis’ police by Jefferson City continues, probably we may expect scandals. = = * i The strike of metal workers in Germany, the loss of the mineral fields about Lens and the abandonment of scores of big-caliber guns to the French and British are not calculated to help the Huohenzollerns to withstand the summer of- fensives.

They are put- ting to use the knowledge of household work which the movement requires them to acquire and relieving their el- ders of home duties so that the women can take men’s jobs while the latter are at the front. They are effecting an enormous saving in foodstuffs not only by scientific cooking and home economy, but by helping salvage the crops of fruits and berries in their immediate viginity. They are organizing classes of 10 girls each in Red Cross work. They are taking care of their own health and that of innumerable babies. Following his, telegram to President Wilson offering the services ‘“‘in the home’ of the 95,000 Camp Fire Girls in the United States, Dr. Luther H. Gu- lick, President of the Movement, has prepared a definite program for them to follow, based on Government docu- ments—what the War Department, the Department of State, the Department of Agriculture, and all the great Govern- mental agencies have announced that they want done. “This program is not aimed at the Camp Fire Girls alone,”’ says Dr. Gulick, “but at every girl in the United States. It is a vast scheme of economy and ef- ficiency. “Every girl in the United States,” he eontinues, “‘can serve her God and her country at this time just as truly as the men who do enlist and go to the trenches. It is not too much to be- eve that we shall be enabled directly or indirectly to save and secure by these economies one cent per capita of popu- lation per day tn America which is $366,- 000,000 a year. “We yield to nothing in the. impor- tance of the work which the girls are doing. There are far more dramatic things which aré proposed such gas op- erating flying machines, wireless°appa- ratuses and driving automobiles, but this is the great thing which women can do today. “Fifty per cent of the money paid for food is wasted in America. We waste twice as much fat as we use. We use twice as much meat as is good for us; cheese, peas and beans are as govud. We know little about the use of rice and spaghetti, which are as good as #bta- toes. We pare our potatoes and fruits, often wasting as much as 5 per’ cent. There are girls in most of the homes in America, and they can save much of this waste. “More than half of our homes have yards. A pmall garden in which peas, beans, tomatoes and other vegetables were raised would lessen the family ex- pense for these articles greatly. In many homes it is possible for the girls to keep chickens or to raise a pig. There are large crops of apples, cherries, dear enlistment is now the slo- Strawberries and other fruits that are wasted because of lack of labor with which to gather them. The girls of America might save and can_ those which are near their homes. “Every girl who does the housework and cares for the little children frees a woman who can do some work that has hitherto been done by men and so free the men for the front. Every man who leaves a job must be replaced byja womah. So every girl can be represent- ed by a man at the front. Women will be meeded in large numbers in munition and in other works in addition to taking thé places of the men. “In order to do these things effec- tively it is necessary for the girls to be banded together under an older woman, known in our Camp Fire movement as a Guardian. We will furnish in Wohelo, our monthly magazine, from month to month, the instructions.” The Complete patriotic program of the Camp Fire Girls, prepared by Dr. Gulick, is as follows: Each day: Pray to God the frst thing every morning that you may . be healthy, consecrated and happy in the great things He calls upon you to do today. Plan out how you can do your very best this day. Walk to and from school or work, 39 as to Save money, and learn to walk and easily, to get as “hard as nails.’ Keep clean inside and outside each dav that you may have all your faculties alert. Each week: Hike with your Camp Fire so as to bring your walking for the week up to 35 miles, or more than 100 miles for each month. On each hike do four things beside walk- ing: 1—Each time learn how to care for an emergency—sprained ankle, burns, blistered feet, etc. 2—Each time learn something about food and couking—how to use cheese and beans in place of meat— spaghetti in place of potatoes—the need of “‘roughage’’ or bulk, bran, etc. 8.—Each time talk over the ser- vice, that you can give and are giv- ing--how to lessen expenses in the home, heiping to free mother so that she can do the needed community service; how to roll bandages, care for babies, save carfare, go without candy, raise vegetables, can foods, help save the crop of apples, cher- ries and other fruits. 4.—Sing patriotic songs such as America, Dixie and the Star Span- glied Banner. Each month hold a Council Fire at which the work of the month is summed up, tallied and discussed, honors are awarded, and new patriotic work plan- ned. Crocheting Your Own Bag. | \ HE crocheted bags that are now such favorites are not difficult to make, according to a St. Louis woman who has made large numbers of them. The original bags were made of silk, in very bright colors. The greater variety of stitches tuo be used and the tighter the crocheting, the handsomer will be the bag, so she says. One that she had is made of silk in dark green, emerali green, vright red and dark red, purple, gray and gold. Here are the di- rections for. making one like it, which should be about eight inches deep an.j 18 inches around the top: First crochet a circle of purple about two inches in diameter, then upon that crochet one row of shell or crazy stitch in gold, one row of emerald green, an- other row of gold, then four rows of dark red, one row of dark gray, one row of dark red; one row of dark gray, then five rows of dark red (this should be crocheted in a different stitch), one row of gold, one row of emerald green, one row of gold, then a band about an inch and a half (scant) wide of dark green, two rows of gold, another band, this time about one inch wide of dark purple, then a band about two inches wide (no more) of bright red, one row of gold, one row of emerald green and two rows of gold, finishing off in a scallop. The bag should be so crochtec that it will increase in size gradually from the beginning circle, which should be about three inches in diameter. I? should not, however, be crocheted in spiral style but, instead, each row should be complete in itself and finished off accordingly, with an extra stiitch added before beginning the next row. ‘The pointed end of the bag is finished off with a tassel, made as follows: Take @ button mold about two inches in di- ameter, build up the top of it with cot- ton to make it about one and one-haif inches high. Cover it with silk like that - te be used for lining the bag. Fasten this at the top, leaving the flat bottom plain, except for spider web stitches with silk like that used on the lining. Cover this with a crocheted piece, go- ing around it like the bag.

Then make 1 row of red, also in double crochet. Follow that with the shell or crazy stitch, as in the bag, 1 row dark gray, 1 row dark red, 1 row of gold, 1 row of emerald green, 1 row of dark gray, 1 row of purple, 1 row of gold. Before putting this crocheted cover over the button, make the fringe of odds and ends of the various silks, if you like that, about 3% or 4 inches deep and at- tach it around the edge. If preferred, the fringe may be bought, about a quarter of a yard being needed. This particular bag had a 4-inch fringe of emerald green silk, which had been bought ready made. The upper part of the bag is made of soft leather—suede finish—which must be bought usually at a leather store, and, too, as a rule, one must buy a whole skin. Sometimes a piece of a thinner skin may be had at a glove store. Cut a straight strip six inches wide and 19 inches long. Sew the lin- ing, whieh requires one-quarter yard of satin, upon this strip of leather, then stitch it all up, allowing one-half inch seams on the leather to make the bag measure the 18 inches at the top. Or, if the crocheted part does not measure that, the seam may be made deeper; judgment is needed in bag making, as ii cooking. Next divide the leather band into quarters, marking the divi- sions with pins, and divide the cro- cheted bag similarly. Sew the bag on the near edge of the leather, then turn the leather over toward the lining for about one and a half inches and baste jt down with white thread near the top. This holds the leather in_ position while, with embroidery silk of a con- trasting color, you fasten down the lin- ing with a row of fancy stitching— brier stitch or something of that sort. Be careful not to sew through the bag; this is merely to hold flat the seam where the lining and leather are sewed together. About one inch down from the top, on the inside, fasten nickel rings (about one-half inch or so in diameter) at in- tervals of one and a half inches all around, being careful to take at least one stitch through both thicknesses of the leather, in order to keep an even edge around the top of the bag. This time use silk to match the leather, so that it will not be noticeable on the out- side of the bag. Run either a silver oc nickel chain twice around through these rings, to be used as draw strings. The leather used for the top of the bag described was of a pote dull olive green color. One phauty of these nai: according to this woman who makes them, ig that one can make them up of any silks that one has in the house, provided that the SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 21, 1917. ‘ By Maurice Ketten | Lease.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH CASUALS EVENING =e 21, 1917. PY US. UKELY 10 | MAKEFIRST WAR LOAN TO RUSSIA Root and Straus Said to Be Con- sidered for Commission to Be Dispatched There. AID IS BADLY NEEDED Cabinet Said to Have Decided Against National Prohibition at This Time. By Wire From the Washington Ba- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 21.—Russia is causing the administration grave con- cern. A commission will be dispatched to aid in the permanent organization of the new democratic Government of that country. That fact and the news that the President will not ask Congress to enact legislation prohibiting the sale or manufacture of liquor during the war with Germany were the chief features of Friday’s prolonged Cabinet meeting. The presence of former Senator Elihu Root and Oscar Straus was naturally connected with the Cabinet discussion of the Russian problem. Neither would reply to questions regarding the proba- bility of their selection as members of the commission. The impression obtains here that the President will shortly emphasize his de- termination to ignore partisan considera- tions in all dealings with foreign Gov- ernments, by honoring Root with a place of international importance during the next few days. That the Russian situation is causing @ g004 deal of concern in official and diplomatic circles is frankly conceded. While no importance is attached to the cabled report that Germary and Russia’ are paving the way for negotiating an armistice preparatory to the considera- tion of peace terms, there is known to exist great uneasiness as to the soli- darity of the new Russian democratic enterprise. First Loan to Russia. Ambassador Francis has not reported any developments in the situation at Petrograd that justify credence of the report that the temporary Government is breaking down. It is admitted that the most important consideration con- fronting the United States and her Puropean allies is to be free from Ger- man intrigue for a laydown in military operations. Consequently, there ts a conviction that the first relief of financial character to be extended to any of the European na- tions will go to Russia. Great Britain and France are understood already to have agreed on this point. The dispatch of the American Com- mission to Russia will probably be coincident with the provision of a joan of from $500,000,000 to §$1,500,- 000,000. By anticipating the assured success of the bond issue which Con- gress has practically authorized, the Government will soon have availa- ble the sum of money finally agreed upon. One of the imminent needs of the Russian Government next to finances, is for American engineers and tech- nical men to assist the Russian Gov- ernment in bringing order out of the transportation chaos resulting from the recent revolution or accentuated by it. Cabinet discussion of the nation- wide prohibition project was inspired by the recommendation of the medi- cal branch of the National Council) of Defense that the use of liquor be prohibited as a military expedient. Not Time for Prohibition. It is understood the President anda his advisers decided that present con- ditions does not warrant the .placing the country on a dry basis. Precau- tions have already been taken to pro- hibit the sale and use of tntoxicants im military and naval districts. La- ter on, it was said by a member of the Cabinet, it may be necessary for the ~ Government to request legislation to prohibit the sale of liquor at all times throughout the country. At the pres- ent time, however, the President and his advisers are rot convinced that there is any reason for doing so at present. The advisability of cutting off ex- ports to Norway and Sweden was also the subject of discusion in exec- utive circles. Information that they have been supplying quantities of foodstuffs and other supplies to Ger- many had reached Washington through British and other sources. FAULTY COMPLEXION ‘ lg BE a noute and chronic). DR. A. A. s. S. WOLF, 1 | sot TE CONSULTATION yAES IGERMAN PEOPLE BEGINNING TO WONDER WHY THE WHOLE WORLD IS AGAINST THEM Correspondent Who Has Just Left Berlin Says War With U. S Has. Caused Much New Thought and That Break Is Deeply Felt. By CYRIL BROWN A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispateh and New York Werld. (Copyright, 1917, by Press Pub. Co.) COPENHAGEN, April 21—From the vantage ground of neutral soil, the most fascinating feature of the complex sit- uation in Germany is the new west wind blowing strongly. As I left Berlin al- most an American breeze was making German public opinion rustle refresh- ingly and was audible to the very high- est places. The irresistible new current was sud- denly accelerated by America’s entry into the war, and today it is making itself felt, not only among the masses. not only in internal politics, but in Ger- many’s foreign policy. In official, even in military circles, and among all think- ing classes, it is stirring up the dust of delusions and outworn traditions, with every prospect of greatly clearing the atmosphere and forcing the weather vane of authoratative German public opinion to veer around and point stead- ily toward the new orientation; toward the new order of things generally as 2 now recognized essential postulate to peace. Though bitter medicine, etnias the bitterest experiment to Germans of the whole war, America’s entry on the side of the allies has entailed for Ger- many and the Germans at least ons positive and immediate benefit. The harsh, eye-opening shock brought home poignantly to all Germans the fact that Germany today virtually stands alone in the world. See World Against Them, That “the world is against us is for Germans no longer a figure of speech but a stern reality. Many thinking Germans have long suspected that there was something wrong somewhere and had more and more come to ask them- selves and others what the trouble was; why the whole world was against them. them, is still the insoluble riddle of the world war, was, however, largely aca- demic until America’s entry into the world league. As a result of that event, the question, why the public opinion of the whole world has turned and hard- ened against Germany is suddenly rec- ognized as of prime, practical, and most vita! importance to the future existence of the empire. Today the best brains of the father- land, including the keenest military German interest in what, to most 40 minds, are intensely studying the prob- lem of Germany’s world-wide unpop- ularity, seeking the solution whith is seen to be a prerequisite to peace. Expressed in un-German vernacular, America’s entry brought home to aill Germans, high and low, and rubbed into them, as nothing ever before has, and as probably nothing else could ever have done, the bitter truth that they were in bad with the rest of the world; that they had so thoroughly got them- selves in bad that the neglected for- feited imponderabilia of virtually the whole world’s public opinion vividly symbolized by America’s war declara- tion, had been cast into the scales against Germany. Constituting collectively a weight so crushing that if not actually decisive for the outcome of the war, its conse- quences might well prove disastrous for Germany’s economic future. The phe- nomena of the world’s public opinion turning against Germany in the very material form of new enemies bécame no longer a negligible factor for even the esr military mathematicians. eople Begin to Thiak. anuitaal s entry made the man on the street do more hard thinking than probably at any previous time during the world war; the hard-thinking pro- cess extending up to the men in Wil- helmstragsse, the professional and mili- tary men, molders and leaders of pub- lic opinion, the highest leadership and down to the masses. I spend my last week in Berlin sound- ing all strata of German public opinion for the effect of America’s entry and found everywhere laudable attempts at honest introspection, and a fearless striving to find out the truth and the quickest practicable way out of the labyrinth of world enmity, hatred and distrust, in which Germany suddenly awakens to find itself. As the immediate result of America’s entry, the logical German mind in gen- eral today is asking itself: “Why are we in bad? Who got us in bad? What can we do to get in right again?’’ The wholesome ferment of this new thought, particularly in authoritative German public opinion, was already producing noticeable results when I left, most obvious perhaps, in the defi- nite imperial policy toward America and Russia outwardly and toward po- litical reform inwardly. JOHN B. HEYDT AND HIS WIFE RECONCILED Couple Who Lived Apart for a Year, Depart for Southern California. Mr. and Mrs. John B. Heydt of 4636 Forest Park boulevard. who have been living apart for about a year, have been reconciled and left today for a trip to Southern Caljfornia. Heydt told a Post-Dispatch reporter that the reconciliation was affected last week through the intercession of friends. He is vice president of the American Bakery Co., president of the Robinson Fire Apparatus Manv- facturing Co. and is a reputed mil- lionaire. In April, 1916, Mrs. Heydt had some trouble with a housemaid, who brought suit against her for per- sonal injuries and secured a judg- ment for $4000, which was appealed. About the same time Mrs. Heydt sued to divorce her husband. This suit was recently withdrawn. Since their separation Heydt has lived at the Missouri Athletic Asso- clation, while his wife occupied the Forest Park boulevard heme.

The Board of Estimate and Apportion- ment today began the revising of the \annual budget with a view to reducing the appropriations asked for by various departments so as to keep the expendi- tures within the limits of the expected revenue for the coming year. The first reduction announced was in the appropriation for improving King’s highway. The amount asked for was $300,000, and the board decided to appro- priate only $170,000. Of this $85,000 will be spent for improving Penrose Park, $55,000 for building a bridge at Bellrive Park, and $30,000 for planting and im- provements in Christy Park. The Park Department has asked an appropriation of $743,000. The board de- cided to appropriate $100,000 at present and to take up the consideration of fur- ther appropriations as the need arises. Mayor Kiel, chairman of the board, today asid the salaries of city employes will be ready for distribution May 1. The employes have been paid for March, but not for April. The Board decided that the tax rate of $2.3% on the $100 valuation should re- main unchanged. There is a reduction of 4 cents tn the tax for municipal pur- poses, but this is offset by the Zoo tax of 2 cents and an increase of 2 cents fn the school] tax rate, due to $3,000,000 bond issue. Operating expenses of the city, includ- ing to the Board’s estimate, will cost maintenance of city institutions, acoord- ing to the Board's estimate will cost $170,000 more in 1917. than in 1916. —— **T can’t rest, I can't sleep, and most of all, I hardly dare go out, for when it starts itching, I simply have to scratch, no matter where I am.’ ** Don’t worry a bit--just get a cake of Resinol Soap and a jar of Resinol Ointment.

SKINNER’S R ST. aig Thy « LE NEW VEGETABLES LOWER FOOD COST FOR ST. LOUISANS Homegrown Produce’ Begins Arriving and Will Increase Daily. SOUTH ALSO SHIPPING Prices, Dealers Say, Will Depend on Demand From East and North. Fresh home-grown vegetables are here and they are cheaper than the canned goods with which household- ers have been filling their cellars. From now on home-grown products will be arriving in daily increasing volume and shipments from the South will be getting greater and prices are likely to decline. Spinach, cauliflower, rhubart, green onions, asparagus and lettuce, grown near here, are on the mar- ket in considerable quantities. Next week there will be loads of them.’ Prices Are Lower. And here is what is happening to the wholesale prices on produce row: Spinach, which so0l]ldé at $2.25 a bushel three weeks ago and $1.75 a bushel one week ago, can be bought at 75 cents a bushel. Detroit hot house rhubarb, which has been selling at 75. cents a dozen, has been crowded out by home- grown, which sells at 15 cents to 35 cents a dozen, according to size and length. California asparagus, which has been selling at $4 to $6 a dozen bunches, according to quality and size, is now replaced by home-grown, which sells at $1.25 to $4. Head lettuce from Louisiana and Texas has been selling at $2.25 to $2.50 per hamper of 30 to 35 heads. Lettuce plucked yesterday in the country can be bought today at 60 to $0 cents per box of 18 to 20 heads. Cauliflower is the only thing that is not cheaper by reason of the ar- rival of the home-grown product. The home-grown is worth $2.50 a box and the California sort can be bought for $150. But that is because the California is very inferior to the home-grown. New Potatoes Arriving. . Home-grown green onions are 15 cents a bunch. Prior to the arrival of the home-grown, there were none on the market. Home-grown green peas have not come in, but the supply is greater from Florida and Texas and the price has dropped from $4 a bushel to $2.25 a bushel. New potatoes are beginning to arnve. The quantity is not sufficient to pull down the price, but by the end of next week they will be coming in car loads and the price will probably tumble. The present price is $4 a bushel. Old pota- toes are $3.35 to $3.50 a bushel. Produce men who have been scouting through the adjacent garden country in their automobiles say the stuff looks mighty nice and a warm rain or two and a few days of warm sunshine will bring great quantities of it into the market. Prices Depend on Outside Demand. Southern produce is beginning to roll in. A week ago Florida tomatoes were sold at $8 a crate. Now they are $5.) a crate. Beets, carrots, turnips and string beans are coming and the re- ceipts are getting heavier every day. Just what will happen to the prices when the full flow of home-grown and Southern produce sets in depends on the outside demand. If the North and East clamor for food ind are willing to pay more for it than the prices then provailing in St. Louis it will be shipped to them and the St. Louis prices will! advance in keeping with the scarcity thus caused. If the outside demand is not considerable prices here will go down. Archbishop Blenk Dies. NEW ORLEANS, April 2L—The Most Rev.

COSTUMES EXQUISITE Well-Trained Choruses Do Their Work With the Grace of Professionals. BY FRANSES CABANNE SCOVEL. From the moment: the curtain went up on the Balloon Chorus until it fell on the patriotic picture of Columbia and the allies last night, the Junior League Follies at the Odeon was just one scene after another of dancing, singing, chorus and solo work that had the finish of a professional production. It was one of the best amateur per- formances ever given in St. Louis and one of the best shows of the kind seen here on any stage for a long time. The costumes were exquisite, the setting just what it should be and the whole thing went off with a snap that showed how well trained had been the actors and how hard they had worked. For the second time Miss Mary D. Jones, the reigning Velled Prophet’s Queen, was a bride, the first. time when she took the leading role in the “Society Movies,’”’ “Counted In and Counted Out,"’ and last night as ths bride in the “Fox Trot Wedding.” Mrs. James H. Platt, the Ann Drew of several years ago, was just as be- witching in her coquette-ish dance with Pelham Turner as she was as Cinder- élla five years ago when Jim Platt was Prince Charming. The scene opened with the entire chorus on the stage singing, “We Are a Typical Chorus.” The first two rows all the way across the stage were dressed in white ballet cos- tumes, with little red, white and blue bodices. Little white caps, with two or three red and blue balloons bobbing in the air topped their cus- tumes, and their skirts had four bal- loons to hold them out. \ And how they danced! Just like the snappiest pony ballet you ever saw. Beautiful Autumn Dan There was a peautiful “sutumn dance from the “Four Seasons,” ar- ranged by Dinnie Macdonald, who trained the production, done by Misses Mary Frances Joy, Roberta Lewis, Dorothy Treedy of Milwaukee, Marie Wight, Marie Church, Edith Whittemore, Eleanor Stanard and Mrs. Stuart Stickney. A» waltz danced ty Miss Marie Church and William A. lLwuyties was a perfect dream of grace and rhythm. A men's chorus, “Stop, Look, Listen,” by Luyties, Bob Reynolds, Fred Gardner, Arthur Hickman, Richard Upshaw, George O'Neil, George Knapp and Clinton Brown set the house in roars of laughter and a song with the men’s chorus, “I Want a Man to Love Me,” by Miss Anna Benoist, was charming. The skating chorus of the men and girls in white satin futurist costumes and dancing skating steps with the paper snow falling and spot light flickering and the flower ballet by Misses Edith Whittemore, Kitty Guy Katherine Pierce, Leonore Cahill and Mrs. Pratt stand out for color and beauty. The Fox Trot Wedding. The ‘‘Fox Trot Wedding’ was the merriest, maddest thing you ever saw. First came the flower girls, fox-trot- ting, scattering rose leaves in the bride's path, then the bridemaids with the bou- quets, all skipping in; then the grooms- men and ushers, and then the bride, Miss Mary D. Jones, wearing the gown she wore, etc., and her bridemaids. A moment of anxiety and no bridegroom —another moment and still no bride. groom, all the time the trotting kept up. The bride became nervous, then frantic and finally in came the groom, Arthur Hickman, fastening his gloves apologetically, all the while trotting up to the bride. Still they trotted. The ceremony was performed while every- body trotted and finally they all trot- ted off the stage. There never was anything funnier done by amateurs in a real professional] way, than the moving picture scene and the circus stunt that followed. Miss Mary D. Jones, Bob Reynolds, Misses Elisabeth Holliday, Dorothy Tweedy, Isabel Capen, Francis Camfield of New York, and Pelham Turner, Ralph Tur- ner and Will Luyties, represent a mov- ing picture audience. They face the house and watch the imaginary “meller drammer’ -on an imaginary screen. They chew, make audible comments, get wildly excited, cuddle up closer while the hero makes love to the heroine, get mad and glad until the real audience be. gins to feel what the make-believe audience is seeing. It was very well done. That scene is followed by the same crowd who acts a scenarie for themselves, with Mary D. Jones as the mother of Migs Hlizabeth Holliday whe is picking imaginary flewers when in rushes the villian te kill mother and steal the “ch-eil4.” It simply brought down the house when Wil Lauyties dressed as an effiminate cowboy came tripping in to the rescue, slapped the villian on the wrist while his band of cow punchers saved the child. Peerto! Change. Then came the tensest moment in the show, the circus scene. The movie actors went to the back drop, turned their backs and proceeded to disrobe. A lightning change stunt—right before your eyes. When they turned around there was the circus troupe. Wl Lay- ties and Bob Raynokis, both over six feet tall, were in altogether tights and they were the tumblers. They went through ell the motions to the amuse. men of the house and never turned a hair. Mies Capen was a tight rope walker and did it to a finish, parasol seltzer from a syphon. There was the bare back rider, riding a table with all the airs and graces of the queen of the ring and Mrs. Stickney perched up on the after part of a toy veloci- pede going through all the postures of the fancy bicycle riders while Mr. Cam- field pedaled around on the thing, just big enough for a four-year-old boy. All Features Are Good. Miss Jean Allison, who has a lovely voice, sang the waltz theme with the chorus beautifully, It would be impos- sible to pick out all best features in the show—they were all best. Mrs. Pelham Turner, who was Miss Maude Harris of Pasadena and Provi- dence, R. 1., and a noted beauty, ap- peared last night for the first time in public theatricals. Mrs. Walter Crun- den, two sisters, Miss Lorna and Dor- othy Tweedy of Milwaukee, who are visiting her, took parts in the chorus and in the dances. One of the well executed skits was done by Mr. Macdonald, who sang “Aren’t You the Girl I Met at Sher- ry’s?” when Miss Lenore Cahill, as the “Shy Girl,” Marie Wight as the Bor- ton Girl and Elizabeth Holliday as the | Bowery Girl passed in review. Miss Cahill was the daintiest and shyest of Shy Girls with a saucy little hat perched on her head. The house was well filled, numbers of boxes taken and the enthusiasm was dué to the real “honest to goodness excellency of the performance, Miss Frances Reid Jones, the daugh- ter of Breckenridge Jones, is responsib!e for the production. It was her turn to do something for the league, and she did it with such success that no credit is too great for her. Mrs. Sears Lehmann had the programs and they will add materially to the fund to carry on the league work. Miss Ann Collins had charge of the boxes and sold them all for the first night and nearly all for the performance this afternoon and the ore tonight. Tonight will be the gala night, as the drawing for the poarl necklace and the Ford coupelet will take place. It will be just after the second ac? and the Niedringhaws twins, Marion an-l Francis, will do the drawing and Mayor Kiel will preside.

THD MAGPIE’S NEST. | The chief purpose of “The Magpie’s Nest,” by Isabel Patterson, seems to be to prove that men are not such wretches as they are sometimes represented. If the men of this story had not been a pretty good sort, poor little Hope would soon have been a hopeless der- elict, for she did little enough to pro- tect herself. The story grows weari- some before the middle is reached, and there is little reward for those who stick for the last chapter. THE UNOFFICIAL PREFECT., HREE schools were in almost even y athletic rivalry and the hopes of Trowbridge appeared to be vested in one lad, who was so selfigh that he could not lend himself to good team work. From the first of the year events tended to show him where he . was wrong. He expegted to be “Prefect” in his dormitory, but a more popular lad was elected, and the football coach turned him down “because he was al! for himself,” and so it went. But the boy A. T. Dudley picked for this story was smart enough to learn his lesson, and before the football season ended he was “The Unofficial Prefect’ and the chief sport hero. (Lothrop, Lee & Shep- ard.

While he has not written NEW history, he has written AC- CEPTED history, which is a great deal more important.

We believe Mr. Johnson has come very near to supplying this need. His is a story of events, not issues. The issues were made up when Abra- ham Lincoln was elected President. His story begins with Lincoln’s inaugu- ration. He explains, in his preface, that his purpose is ‘simply to set forth clearly such of the greater events as constituted turning points or dis- tinctly advanced oor retarded the general movement toward the end.” The resulting volume is not large but it is thoroughly comprehensive along this line. The firing on Fort Sumter, the first battle of Bull Run, Farragut passing the forts, Gettysburg, Vicks- burg, Morgan's raid and the battle be- tween the Monitor and the Merrimac are treated at iength because of their influence on the result. ‘The Measure of Valor’ is the title of the concluding chapter. In this, the author takes issue with many commen- tators who believe that the Southern armies were more ably officered and led than those of the North, though he does not seek to detract from the glor- ies of the Southern leadership. These commentators base their argument upon their information that there was a greater loss of high officers in the Southern Army. But Mr. Johnson quotes statistics to prove that the pre- ponderance was the other way. He shows that one commander on each side was killed—Generals Albert Sidney Johnston and James B. McPherson. The Unionists lost 14 division commanders to the Confederates’ seven, while % Union Brigadiers were killed to the Confederates’ 73. During the four years of fighting, there were 18 battles in which one side or the other lost more than 10,000 men, and in the least im- portant of these 1900 men were left dead on the field. He believes that, if losses are the measure of valor, no Europan war, previous to that of 1914, equalled in this respect the American Civil War. The author takes occasion to explode a long-accepted myth that the first gun of the Civil War was fired April 12, 1861, beginning the bombardment of Fort Sumter at Charleston, 8S. C. Instead, he points out, the first gun was fired Jan. 9, preceding, being aimed from Charleston, at “Star of the West,"’ an American transport that had been dis- patched by the War Department to carry supplies to Fort Sumter, the be- leaguerment of which was even then imminent, though James Buchanan, of undoubted Confederate sympathies, was still President. The cannon shot halt- ed the ship from crossing the bar into Charieston harbor and she sailed away shortly afterward without having helped Sumter’s garrison in any way. One of the best features of this ex- cellent book is the great number of very informative maps it contains.

It is, indeed, a bit more uncertain and speculative, but the difference is likely to impress the average player as so laborious and ted- fous as not to make it worth while. It is extremely doubtful that it will be- come popular, though, just now, there is great interest in it because it is some- thing new. Those who wish to know all about the principle and practices of the ‘bidding, the player gets his partner on game will find them set forth with great lucidity in R. F. Foster's “Pirate Bridge.”’ The auction player has nothing new to learn but he must apply his skill in a very different way. The essential difference between the old game and the new is that, in the the basis of the best helping hand in- stead of this relation being fixed by position at the table.

His last match with Reiselt. extending over three nights, resulted 150 to 122, in favor of Cannefax, who required but 136 innings to complete his total.

Grant ‘Wyatt of St. Louis and Gentry Daggy and Radford Pittam will be the other members of the Tiger quartet which is expected to carry away honors over such teams as Illinois, Chicago, Notre Dame and the Conference fours. Bob’s first try at the quarter mile came last Saturday, when he raced Pitt- am and defeated the Kansas City youth by five yards in :50 4-5 seconds. Daggy was the only gold and black hosed run- ner to better that time, doing the dis- tance in a fifth of a second less. Also in Half-Mile Relay. The Bosworth wonder, besides com- peting in the high hurdles, will also .run ihe half-mile relay race, covering the last 220 yards of the course. Bob is Missouri's fastest sprinter at this dis- tance. and it is upon his efforts that the Tiger hopes rest. Jack Scholz, the former Soldan High youth, and Mis- souri’s first man in the 100-yard sprint, will run third. Pittam and Block will inake up the rest of the tearn. Coach Schulte will also enter a team in the two-mile relay. This will be made up of Bond, Rider, Duncan and Syman.

Fred Williams and Waiter Newell, both of Kan- sas City, are certain of their places. Newell is the tall lad who paired with Dix Teachener at the Central States tourney and gave the Japanese team such a run for victory. He is picked to win thé Valley title this season. Warner, another Kansas Cityan, will prob- ably land the fourth-man job. The Miksouri court schedule for the season is as follows: Kansas at Missouri, May I and 11: Missouri at Ames, Drake, Coe and Grinnell, May 16, 17, 18 and 19, respectively; Missouri Valley Conference meet, at Ames, May 2%, 26 and 27.

Bodie to date has made 11 hits in 29 trips to the plate for an average of .379, while Bates has made nine hits in 30 tries, a mark of .300. Besides hitting in the select circle Bates has the season's, if not the world’s record, tor driying in runs in a single inning. In the clash with the Nationals on April 14, Bates came to the plate with the bases full and cracked out a triple. Later in the same frame he drove over two more! men with a double, giving him a record of having driven over five runs in the samo frame. Bunny Fabrique, landed from. the international League, seems to be a yast improvement over his predeces- vors with the Brooklyn Superbas, at least as far as batting is concerned.

An effort to bring Featherweight Cham- pion Johnny Kilbane here for a bout at the Coliseum, next month, has fallen through. Kilbane wired that Jimmy Hanlon, his pro- posed opponent, would have to make 130 pounds ringside for him. Hanlon was not willing to cut off a leg. George Lammerson, the rude Dane who knocked out Leo Witt at the Coliseum the night of the Bat Nelson-Fred Welsh show. will be Nelson's sparring partner on their coming trip with a cireus, the contract for which was recently signed. Looks like the reason for all this ring activity on the part of Bat Nelson. after 14 months’ absence from the ring, is laid bare at last. Little old publicity for his cir- cus stunt was all the Battler was seeking. He got it, along with a right smart beating. Lammerson and Hanlon would have been matched, had the former been free to ac- cept the offer. GEORGE CARPENTIER BACK FROM HOSPITAL PARIS, April 21.—Georges Carpen- tier, champion heavyweight of Eu- rope and army aviator, who has been convalescing in Nice, arrived in Paris this week. He remarked: “T hope the British find my mother and sister safe when they enter Lens. My people have been there all during the German occupation, as the Ger- mans refused to let them leave. “T have not heard from my mother in many months, but people from Lens told me all my property had been wrecked by the Germans, and I suppose the big British guns hammer- ing the city didn’t help any. T hope to get permission to go to Lens to see my mother and sister soon.” An effort was made last winter to get a furlough for Carpentier so that e could come to this country and meet Jess Willard for the heavy- weight championship of the world. o--- — CUBS BUY FRED MERKLE TO FILL SAIER’S JOB CHICAGO, April 21.—Fred Merkle of the Brooklyn Nationals has been purchased for cash by the Chicago team to pilav firat base in the-absence of Vic Saier, who broke a leg in a recent game. | INTERSTATE CUE SCORES At Detroit—Clarence Jackson defeated August Kieckhefer, 50 to 17. in 47 Innings.
