WASHINGTON, April 25.—Arthur James Balfour, British Foreign Secre- . tary, stated today that the allied Gov- seat E completely convinced of America's whole-hearted consecration towards the common end of destroy- ing Prussian militarism, would not ‘think of asking the country to depart from its traditional policies or enter into any formal alliance which might prove embarrassing. „Our confidence in the alliance and the assurances of this Government, Mr. Balfour said, is not based on uch shallow considerations as arise No treaty could in- ¢rease our unbounded confidence that the United States, having come into the war, will see it through to the great end we all hope for.’’ Mr. . Balfour, after his first two days in the American capital, consented jo an interview to express his deep grati- tude for the warmth of his. reception and his convictions that America's serv- ice in the war could not be exaggerated.

The submarine, Captain Rice said, was about to attack the great liner, in British waters, on April 19. He declared there was absolutely no doubt that the U-boat was hit and that there was every reason to believe it was destroyed. The naval gunners on board made a clean hit, at 1000 yards. The periscope was seen to be shattered. , Even more pertinent a fact as re- gards the ultimate fate of the submarine was that the shell disappeared imme- diately after the hit was made.. The captain stated that a shell always ri- cochets in the water and can be seen again unless it finds the mark. Oil also was seen on the water after the submarine disappeared. The Mongolia was going at full speed and was a long distance away when the spray and foam subsided, but from the bridge the officers observed the spot through their glasses and they are con- fluent the submarine was sunk. The periscope was sighted dead ahead on the last. afternoon of the voyage. The captain gave the order for full speed ahead with the intention | of ram- ming the submarine.

N an effort to ascertain the true | as to the selective conscription sentiments of the citizens of Missouri bill now before Congress the Post-Dis- patch instructed 100 of its correspondents scattered throughout the State to ask the first ten men they encountered these questions: Do you favor universal service and selective conscription, or do you favor the volunteer system for raising the great army we need to bring our war with Germany to a-successful conclusion, and why? How do you want your Congressman and Senators to vote? Answers have been received from THE CITIZENS OF MISSOURI only a few centers, notably Moberly, a sentiment against selective conscription. 75 communities with this result: FAVOR CONSCRIPTION 5 TO 1. In town of 11,000, was there a pronounced The sentiment™for the administra- tion measure was as strong in the Ninth Congressonal (Champ Clark’s) Dis- trict, as in the other districts of the State. In Mexico, Mo., the largest town in Clark’s district, the ten men interviewed were all in favor of conscription. Most of those opposed to the selective draft are inclined to fav or a trial of the volunteer system with conscription as the alternative. A very few were opposed to the United States taking any active part in the war whatever. Several who favored the volunteer system generally favored conscription | at this time because of the necessity of getting a large army together quickly. The administration measure was indorsed largely because it levelled all ranks and made the rich man’s ,son and the poor youth serve side by side. results of the canvass follow: Man With Two Eligible ’ Sons for Conscription.

Clark, representative National against Germany because I think it association of Manufacturers: I am un- alterably opposed to universal military service or the conscription plan, because I am opposed to what is known as «crus- sianism, whether it be in Germany or in America.

I favor drafting.” Temple Hamilton, Probate Judge: I am for conscription and want our Con- gress to vote for it. There are enough non-producers in the country to give us a sufficiently large army. These should be drafted. The producers can do more for their country at home. It is true that those who go willingly might do more, but these non-pro- ducers have a dormant ambition which, when stirred up, would make them excellent soldiers. Juseph Durfee, banker: I favor conscription because it will make ev-} lery one do his share. I am against the officers’ reserve corps policy, be- cause it does oes give the poor boy a chance. T. M. Bailey, 3 I am a volun- ‘teer man. In East Tennessee when the Civil War started ve raised 30,000 men in no time. D. A. Colvin, banker: Personally I am for the volunteer system, but the war and real danger from war seems so far away that we will never be able to raise enough men. There is not enough enthusiasm, especially throughout the West. We should have untversal service. E. Y. Poore, Principal high school: If we had plenty of time I would favor the volunteer system, for we should serve of our own free will. But we need these men right now and the danger is so near that our only way of getting them is by selective con- scription. | W. W. Holliway, lumberman: Con- scription is the only fair and just way, for every fellow shoulders his share of the burden. Great care should be ex- ercised in the extent to which this is carried on, for the after effect might be such as to involve us in just such trouble as Germany has encountered from militarism. The volunteer system is unjust, D. L. Schooler, merchant: The vol- unteer system would be the ideal way, but I don’t believe we have time for it. Ben B. Hurst, County Engineer: I favor the volunteer system. The truble seems too far off for conscription. F. H. Schooler, farmer: We are too far away from activities or authoritative information to know how badly we need men. However, I favor the volunteer system. 7 for Conscription in Lebanon, 2 Against It. .

Gardner today issued an appeal to Mis- sourians to speed up recruiting for the navy in the St. Louis district. His statement follows: “The St. Louis district has been called upon by our Government to furnish by May 5 its quota of volunteers for the navy. The St. Louis district comprises all Missouri except Jackson and Buchan- an Counties. “To date we have furnished 236 of the 1200 men required. It will be the shame of this State if we do not at once re- move the stigma that this slow response attaches to us. “There will be no conscription in the navy, and this means that the highest patriotism of this State is called upon by this appeal. “Your country, your State, your Gov- 3 as patriotic a service by persuading west and south portion. gthey themselves enlisted."

Secretary Lansing stepped forward and warmly clasped the hand of Minis- ter Viviani and Marshal Joffre and to the other members of the Mission. Warm words of greeting were exchanged. The vigor of the hand clasp and the earnest looks on the faces of all present showed the welcome were more than perfunc- tory. During the brief ceremony the ship’s band played the Marselilaise, while the marines and sailors and other officials ashore stood at attention. The greeting between Marshal Joffre and Gen. Scott was particularly warm. The formal welcome over, the party left the Mayflower, led by Minister Viviani.

LOUIS POST- UISPAIUH 2 —— WADNESDA BVBNING, APRIL 200 A910, - MORE INTENSE AS BRITISH ADVANCE Struggle Is Most Desperate round Monchy Le Preux, Five Miles East of Arras. HAND-TO-HAND COMBATS French Report Successes in the Champagne; Berlin Tells of Taking Prisoners. From a Staff Correspondent of the Associated Press. BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE, via London, April %.—The town of Mon- chy. Le Preux, which lies about five miles east of Arras will stand out in history as one of the bloodiest spots of the world war. The fighting north, east and south of this little Artois village perched upon a high knoll has exceeded in intensity any of the individual struggles of the Somme. Efforts of the Germang to re- take the village apparently have sub- sided on account of the sheer exhaus- tion of their available forces and the British advance eastward of Monchy continues slowly but surely. The ground around Monthy, as far as the eye can reach, is covered with the dead, the Germans at times having em- ployed their old tactics of attacking in mass formation. Letters taken in the last two days from German prisoners, written in front of Monchy, say they regard the situa- tion as worse than it was on the Somme, while the casualties are mount- ing up as at Verdun. In one of the letters the opinion is expressed that what has made the fighting difficult has been the fact that the opposing forces have not occupied fixed lines but are scattered in half-built trenches on this part of the front. ‘During one German counter attack on Monday a force of 700 Germans took one bit of trench from a British outpost. The Germans continued to press for- ward. not noticing that they were pass- ing an isolated trench section on their right. When they were well beyond this several hundred British soldiers poured out of this trench section and the Germans, trapped between twö lines, were absolutely wiped out in the fighc- ing which followed. It was a genera! melee in which, the cries of the men en- gaged in hand- to-hand conflict could de heard plainly. The number or prisoners taken during the. various operations this weck amyuits to more than 3000. There iv absolutely no. index of the casualties ‘nflicted on the enemy. The fighting is too thick for the most part to permit of individual surrenders. Finding Monchy too difficult, the Ger- mans late yesterday directed a counter attack on Gavrelle, where the last de. fengive line before the Drocourt switch position had been pierced. Four thou- sand men were seen forming for an at tack at a distance of 4000 yards. Brit- ish ‘field guns massed in a great num- ber were trained on the Germans, but thefr fire was held until the advancing enemy was about 200 yards away. Then a perfect hurricane of fire was opened 2nd «shrapnel shelis played about the advancing column like fire files in a summer thicket.

LONDON, April 25.—The British have taken 8029 prisoners since Monday morn- ing, including 56 officers, according to an official statement issued by the War Office today. British forces captured the hamlet of Bilhem, east of Havrincourt Wood, last night. The statement follows: “In the area east of Havrincourt wood during the night we captured the ham- let of Blihem, northeast of Trescault Village. Fighting took place early this morning along our front between the Cojeul and Scarpe rivers.

Near the coast our storming detach- ments on Monday, after effective prep- aration, penetrated enemy positions arid brought back 21 French prisoners and four machine guns.

PARIS, April 25. — Ground was gained by the French last night in the Champagne, the War Office announ- ces. A German attack in the niegh- borhood of Hurtebise was repulsed. The Germans made several futile efforts to raid French trenches near Tahure and Maisone de Champagne leaving many dead in the wire en- tanglements. The statment follows: “Between the Somme and Oise the night passed in relative calm. The enemy began a bombardment of our trenches near La Fere, which was checked quickly by the counter fire of our artillery. “In the region of the Aisne we made some progress southeast of Cerny-en- Laonnoise and took prisoners. A Ger- man attack delivered this morning after violent bombardment in the vie- inity of Hurtebise and on the Vau- clere plateau was checked by our fire. “In the Champagne near the moun- tain without a name, we made pro- gress, taking prisoners and one can- non.

WOTAN LINE IS INTACT ON THIRD DAY OF ASSAULT Massed German Reserves Thrown In to Check Advance of Haig’s Army. O*: of the greatest and most bit- terly contested battles of the en- tire war has entered its third day on the British front in France, with the issue still in doubt. Massed German re- serves are being hurled forward bloody counter attacks in a supreme effort to check the forward surge of Gen. Heig’s troops. Some minor post- tions, trench lines and rubbish heaps dignified by the names of villages have been seized by the British, but the Wo- tan line, their nae objective, is. still intact. While the mantis struggle in France rages imconclusively, developments in other fields of the world upheaval are eceuvrring with sensational rapidity. Spain has taken a long step forward on the path along which she is apparently it Friday night at in being pushed slowly but surely into the universal conflagration. The Madrid Government has addressed a note to Germany which, on its face, must re- sult in an abandonment by Berlin of its uncompromising attitude on ruthless submarine warfare, or its acceptance of a new and important foe. The situa- tion is somewhat modified by the fact that Count Romanones, who, as Pre- mier, dispatched the note, has since re- signed. The growing tide of anti-Ger- manism in South America appears, how- ever to be having its effect in Spain, but a rigid censorship leaves affairs in the peninsular kingdom obscure. Next in importance are the growing rumors of a great German attempt to be made against Petrograd. The re- ports are taken seriously enough in the Russian capital to induce many hun- dreds of civilians to flee to the interior. According to the rumor the German plan is a combined assault by land and sea and transports, escorted by a pow- erful German fleet, are said to have al- ready sailed from Libau. The political situation in Russia remains confused but there are uncomfortable reports of the activities of the radical Socialists and renewed outbreaks of agrarian troubles, some of a counter revolution- ary character. The unrest in Germany is having a new manifestation in a fresh outburst against Chancellor von Bethmann-Holl- weg by the Conservatives and National Liberals. The Chancellor is being vio- lently attacked for his alleged subser- vience to Socialist influences, and the opening of the Reichstag, which is scheduled for today, is expected to bring these attacks to a focus. In the meantime there are indications that the tremendous currents of discon- tent which are running through Europe are growing in strength. The visit of the King of Denmark to Stockholm fs regarded as of particular significance in view of the recent demonstration of the Swedish workers against the Govern- ment. May day is expected to bring matters to a climax in Sweden and Hal- mar Branting, the Swedish 8 list leader, has warned the Government against undue interference with the great labor demonstration planned for that day.

URGES, BREAD ECONOMY Shipping, He Asserts, Is Being Depleted Daily in Large Vol- ume by U-Boats. LONDON, April %.—The British pub- lic was warnéd today by Loré Devon- port, the British food controller, that the country’s shipping was being de- pleted daily in large volume and that severe privations menaced the nation before the next harvest was reached. Lord Devonport's warning was issued in the House of Lords in response to a question by Lord Lamington as to what success had attended the efforts at voluntary rationing and whether the Government intended to resort to com- pulsion. In his reply Lord Devonport recited the extensive efforts being made by press, pulpit and schools and also by local committees to impress on the com- munity the urgency of food restrictions, he said it might be described as à gen- eral election on a grand scale with the view of soliciting the allegiance of every citizen, particularly the women, to re- duce their consumption of bread. He continued: »Unless we exercise sufficiency of seif- denial in the consumption of bread, I telf you the blunt truth, we shall not get through to next harvest without severe privation and all that it in- volves.’’ Insisting on the -necessity of limiting consumption to four pounds of bread per week, Lord Devonport confessed that he was watching the weekly fig- ures of national consumption and re- serves with growing anxiety. He went on: “Who can say when the war will end? We must be prepared for all con- tingencies, even the failure of the pres- ent year’s harvest. The continuance and increase of the enemy’s submarine activity is another factor without which our outlook upon the future cannot be complete.

Immediately after came the French national anthem, which was saluted in a similar manner. Ship Anchors Off Monroe. The ship bearing the mission dropped anchor off Fortress Monroe, while the convoy steamed several miles farther on. Gen.

There was no saluting, the for- mality of firing salvos of guns had been dispensed with by agreement. We are saving our powder for the Germans.“ remarked the commander of the French. ship. All of the commissioners returned Ad- miral Mayo’s call later in the morn- ing. Then they lunched on board their own vessel, finishing just in time to re- ceive Ambassador Jusserand, Major- General Scott, chief of staf of the army: Assistant Secretary of State Long, As- sistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin Roosevelt and several other officials, who arrived from Washington on board the Mayflower. Upon his arrival Ambassador Jusse- rand went into conference with M. Vi- viani and the leading members of the mission. Two hours later Viviani, Mar- shal Joffre, Admiral Chocheprat, the naval representative, the Marquis de Chambrun (Lafayette’s grandson), M.

The mission will place itself at the disposal of the President during the entire period of its visit to this coun- try. If he desires its members to re- main in Washington for continuous con- ference they will do so.

SENATE DELAY ALSO Efort to Be Made in Upper Body to Get an Agreement on Time for Voting.~ WASHINGTON, April S. The House and the Senate resumed debate today on the war army bill. House leaders hope to reach a vote by Friday, but this appears by no means certain. since more than 60 members still are to be heard, including Speaker Clark, who is to speak today in opposition to a draft provision. In the Senate a similiar situation es- ists. Many Senators. want to express their views on the bill before consenting to a vote, and leaders dislike to resort to the new rule under which debate may be limited. Chairman Chamberlain of the Military Cornmittee expevts to ascer- ever, on an agreement to set a time for voting. Opposes Draft of Youths. Discussion yesterday in both houses came largely from friends of the volun- teer system. The longest speech was made by Representative Fields of Ken-. tucky, a Democrat, of the Military Com- mittee, who argued for the volunteer plan and declared that the War Depart- ment’s proposal to draft youths under 21 years of age involved a principle on which he would not be guided by the military experts of this or any other nation. Representative Caldwell of New Tork. a member of the House Committee, who formerly opposed the draft plan, said cause he tHought all the resources of the country should be thrown into the war without delay. Representative Anderson of Minnesota, advocating the draft, told of his own enlistment for the Spanish-American war at the age of 15. His mother, an invalid, signed his papers, he said, when he told her he thought the country needed him. „It isn't falr,“ he eines amid great applause, that the mothers of this country should bear the burden of sending tneir sons to war; that burden belongs to the Government. The right to serve or not to serve is not a privi- lege of the individual; it is an obligation of the Government.“ Lenroot for the Draft. Representative Lenroot, Wiscon- sin, declared that the draft would do more than the volunteér system to “win this war, in the shortest possi- ble time, with the least sacrifice of lite.“ He said he believed his con- stituents would approve that stand, but even if he believed otherwise, his course would be the same, as in war time, when the existence of the re- public was in danger, his first duty was to his country and not to his constituents. Representative Gallivan of Massa- chusetts, speaking for the adminis- tration plan, said all Boston approved of the declaration that a state of war existed with Germany, but he found, on examining into the enlistments thére, that the Kellys, the Burkes and the Sheas were almost alone rallying to the colors. Representative Mondel, Wyomigg, supported the volunteer plan and said the War eee had done everything it could to discredit the volunteer establishment. Freyflinghaysen for Draft, Senator Freylinghuysen of New Jer- sey, made his first speech in the Senate in support of the draft system. “It is worse than useless to say that America's participation in this struggle should be predicated on anything she has done in the past, he said. “Let us not defend a system that has always failed. Why should we Senators set our judgment against the absolutely unan- imous opinion of military men of the world?” Senator Townsend declared that, un- less the nation wished to suffer disaster, and possibly destruction later, it must not longer procrastinate, but proceed with its preparations, the foremost of which is the raising of an army. He said that in this fateful hour ‘he was bound to ignore the advice of all but those men the nation has trained in war the one to adopt. Senator La Follette introduced a sub- stitute for the Administration bill, pro- posing to eliminate the draft feature and submit the question of raising an army to a referendum, througiy the 4i- rector of the census and the pbostmas- ters. HOW BRYAN WILL “DO HIS sfr He Will Tour West Urging Greater Feed Preducticn and TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April %.—In the course of an address, William J.

CHILLICOTHE, April 25.—Attorney Joseph D. Steward favors selective conscription because from observation and study of the British volunteer attempt this system has proved a fail- ure and best qualified men do not volunteer. Also volunteer system re- sults in unequal distribution of ser- vice. Chas. P. Sauer, merchant, believes there are enough patriotic young men in America who would gladly volun- teer their services to raise necessary army without resorting to conscrip- tion, Attorney Miles Elliott favors selec- tive conscription because the selfish should be compelled to bear the bur- den as well as the unselfish and pat- riotic, G. B. Sherman, pharmacist, favors trial by volunteer system with pro- viso of resorting to conscription if volunteer system falls. Attorney Nolan M. Chapman favors selective conscription that the burden may fall alike upon all. Rich and poor, willing and unwilling should be treated alike. e P. W. Harman, merchant, strongly advocates selective conscription be- cause it offers more efficient service and quicker results, T. C. Beasley, banker, advocates se- lective conscription because it’s the only way of raising an adequate army in a short time and the only way of equalizing the service. It furnishes quick preparedness. W. H. Sipple, clothing merchant, be- lieve in conscription because the men that are wanted and needed can be raised without unnecessary delay and persuasion. The selection is in hands of officiale who are competent to make the selection. Rev. J. R. Harper favors whichever plan will raise largest army in shortest time. He believes possibly conscription is the best plan under the circumstances; although the volunteer system might attract enough men if given sufficient time. R. Warren Robert, architect, believes that selective conscripfion is the only democratic way to handle the situa- tion. It would distribute the burden among all classes of able-bodied men. J. A. Rayburn, druggist, says selec- tive conscription only can raise an army that can satisfy the United States in size and quality. It has no favorites and can produce an adequate army in shortest time. ; A. R. Coburn, Superintendent of Public Schools, believes that with a few lead- ers like Roosevelt and others a vast army of volunteers could be raised in a short time, but if, after a tryout, this system is a failure he favors selec- tive conscription. 7 for Conscription in Macon, 3 Against It.

Washington, D. 0. voters strongly urge you and the — \ \ & man whom the draft would be likely to include, favors the conscription bill be- cause it places all men on an equal basis. L. O. Home, M. D.: I most assuredly favor universal service and selective conscription as the best means to secure a properly prepared and permanent mil- itary organization. I am ready for any service.“ M. P. Greenhalgh, merchant: In the detense ot our country all should de allowed to volunteer. E. L. Rutledge, pastor M. E. Church South: I am heartily in favor of univer- sal service and selective conscription. Anything less under the present circum- stances would be a national calamity. I am ready to serve in any way I can. J. N. Carter, banker: I am hearily in sympathy with the selective conscrip- tion idea. It is the only democratic way of handling our army. It puts the high and low, rich and poor, learned and unlearned, the naturalized as well as American citizens on the same level. Ormal Burgess, tailor: I do not favor conscription at present. If the people in general favor this war with Ger- many there will be more than enough volunteers for present needs and will justify conscription later, if necessary, to carry out the will of the majority, which will have been expressed if the volunteer system successfully supplies the army now needed. Lee Meyer, merchant: I am in favor of volunteer service. Major W. D. Stepp of Trenton, com- mander of third battalion, fourth Missouri infantry, National Guard, expressed himself on the conscription bill as folows: “The volunteer system is not only unfair, but inadequate. Selective draft is the best and only means of obtain- ing the men required in the present emergency.” “Speaking from experience as «# national guard officer I believe the conscription bill now before Congress is the only solution to the army proo- lem,” said G. S. Gelbach, first lieuten- ant Company D., Fourth Missouri In- fantry, National Guard. “We must have men and have them now. Conscription is the only neans of getting them, said L. E. en a farm- er near Trenton. declared: “I want the conscription bill passed because the volunteer uystem is designed to kill the patriot and preserve the poltroon.“ R. D. Warren, Representative from Grundy County in the State Legislature said: I favor the conscription bill, for it is apparent there is no other means of solving the problem.” Jam heartily in favor of the admin istration’s measure for selective con- scription, and I want my representatives in Congress to vote for it,“ said W. E. Austin Jr., Postmaster. A. O. Ginn, Secretary of the Trenton Commercial Club: It there is any rea- son for not passing the conscription Dill it is because the Government has not sufficient equipment. If the men can be properly equipped, I'm strongly in favor of the bill.“ Otto Stein, clothing merchant: ‘I am for universal military service because it places all men of serviceable age on an equality. I want my oCngressman and Senators to know that I favor the adiministration bill.“ 4 in Caruthersville for Conscription, 4 Against. CARUTHERSVILLE, Mo., April 2.— R. M. McClaughry, auto salesman: Have not given subject sufficient thought tu express intelligent opinion. Am newcom- er here and reply would not represent sentiment. E. H. Musgrave, clothing merchant: Would give volunteer system first pref- erence and instruct Representatives tu vote for it. If t falls then for selective conscription. Weald want method adc pt- ed that would sot destroy business cr- terprises by taking bot citizens away. J. W. Sawyer, drusg sist: Prefer abso- lutely unlvergal selective censcripticn because : is »mly practicable way to raise an army. Volunteer methods shown to be allure every time tried. Citizens who can easiest be spared should be taken fret. Would have Con- grees suthorize selective conscripticn. W. W. Brown, photographer: Wouid try volunteer system first because I b -- | Neve people should not be made to serve if sufficient are willing to do so » untarily. Would be my advice to Con- gressman to vote first for volunteer plan. f D. D. Pinion, dentist: Would mace Ira B. Hyde, newspaper man, de- „be selected for the various branches of Says those that thus enlist do so with | conscription last :esort and would so in- struct Representatives in Congress would not want to be called and made to leave family and business myself, hence would want to see volunteer svs- tem tried out thoroughly. J. T. Fields, jeweler: Favor universal service because will bulld up army much more quickly and satisfactorily than volunteer syatern, Which takes flower of country and leaves slackers. Would advise Representatives to vote for coascription over volunteer plan. W. P. Setzer, minister: Volunteer sys- tem bas been shown impractical; selec- tive conscription only fair method. When my boy is large enough will place him in military school unless we have un versal military service then. Elwood Scott, Chief Police: Believe in compulosry service because volunteer system takes best citizens and leaves no less able and many times criminally inclined at home. Latter can be spared better and will make as good soldiers. Would advise Congressmen favor of conscription. G. V. Orey, plumber: Believe in volun- teer system because more democratic and more in line with spirit of freedom prevailing in our country. Volunteers better scidiers; do not have lo be made to fight. Would instruct vote ‘against conscription. “Conscription Places Every Class on Same Level.“ UNIONVILLE, Mo., April 5.—E. J. Geisinger, postmaster: I favor con- scription. This places every class upon the same level.“ A. L. Threlkeld, Superintendent of Schools: TI am heartily in gavor of con- scription because I consider it the plan that is the most equitable, democratic, | economical and efficient.“ H. U. G. Turnmire, County Superin- tendent of Schools: I favor conscrip- tion because the most efficient men will the service. This also enables the Gov- ernment to establish quickly whatever sized force of men it may need. J. D. Noland, minister, favors the vol- unteer system, feeling that the men would be more loyal, more patriotic and more enthusiastic. H. A. Doughty, minister, favors selec- tive conscription, belleving it to be the only fair and the most effective military policy. Believes the volunteer system has proven its inefficiency. P. M. Mannon, bank president: Not in favor of conscription at this stage of the war. If the volunteer system fails, then would favor conscription.’’ J. W. McCalment, auto agent: Fa vors the conscription plan for its efficiency in quickly raising the required forces Feels that this sort of law levels ali dis- tinctions.”’ Says Universal Service Makes Better Soldiers. SALISBURY, Mo., April 24—B. C. Jackson, president Savings Bank, thinks selective conscription and universal service the best plan. It will give us a better class of soldiers and place the burden on all alike. Wants our Con- gressman and Senators to vote for it. Charles Shire, merchant, heartily fa- vors universal service and conscription because he thinks it is the only way we can raise an adequate army and further because it meets the President's approval. Thinks the representatives from the State should vote for the meas- ure. J. A. Collet, attorney: Partial to the volunteer system; thinks all the men needed can be secured by this method. less sacrifice to business and home ties. The Rev. R. B. Haventer, Triplett, Mo.: Until the last few days has al- ways favored volunteer system, but con- ditions as reported in the dally press has led him to believe that universal service and selective conscription are the best things. N. J. Friend, jeweler: Absolutely op- posed to universal service and selective conscription. Says the country can get all the men it needs under the volunteer system. W. R. Tindall, assistant cashier Peoples Bank, favors the measure as outlined by the President. Says con- scription is just to all, and that the volunteer system is wrong because many young men are prevented from enlisting by their parents, who natur- ally want the other man’s sons do the fighting. George D. Copeland, retired farmer, says: “The volunteer system is the best plan, and that those who do not go into the army can help at home.” M. D. Bell, merchant: Does not know the actual conditions, but if men are needed the selective conscription plan should be used. Is inclined to think that at present the volunteer system is best. Thomas Richardson, merchant: Favors the volunteer system, but be- lieves that in the present crisis se- lective conscription should be adopt- ed. J. M. Mason, grain dealer: Says universal service and selective con- scription is the only worthy plan to consider. Has always opposed pre- paredness and military service, but now thinks Congress should adopt President Wilson's plan. Eight for Conscription in De Soto; Two Against It. DE SOTO, Mo., April %.—The follow- ing 10 interviews cxpress the free op!a- ions of the men interviewed: S. M. McKay, ettorney: I am strong- ly in favor of the selective conscriptive plan of raising an army and navy in this crisis. The volunteer system is un- just because it does not place the burden always in the right place. The selec- tive plan will give the fighting for cs greater efficiency. I believe Congress should pass the bill. W. F. Donnell, life insurance agent, De Soto: I believe that volunteer sys- tem should be given a trial and then if it does not work to use selective con- scription. I beileve that the reason for the slow response is the long term of service required. Rev. V. O. Penley, rector Trinity Episcopal Church: Selective conscription seems to be the most sensible plan of meeting the country’s need. It wi"! equalize the burden and conserve the resources. Charles E. Fallet, physician: I favor the volunteer system because the se- HE selective draft bill will be supported by both Mis | _ souri Senators, Stone and Reed, and by the three St. Louis members of the House of Repre- sentatives—Meeker, Igoe and Dyer—according to dispatches re- ‘ceived from Washington in the last few days. Representative Borland of Kan. sas City is openly advocating the passage of the bill. Representa- tives Shackleford, Hensley and Decker, who voted wtih Igoe against the declaration of war, announced at that time that they would support measures for carry- ing on the war. They have not announced, as Igoe has done, how ) they will stand on the draft bill. Speaker Clark is openly oppos- ing the bill, and he yesterday charged that the War Department was ‘‘trying to bulldoze the coun- try’’ in regard to it. He is lead- ing the fight in the House on this measure and will step down from the presiding officer’s chair to make a speech against it. Representatives Hamlin, Booher - and Rucker have indicated that r T—2 ˙nQn” g ö ö ö ö ö ö ö Speaker Clark Leading House Fight on Conscription Bill they will oppose the bill. The five other members of the House from Missouri, whose attitude on the measure has not been definitely » announced, are Alexander, Rom- jue, Dickinson, Russell and Rubey. am today offering my services to my country and think that should be the plan of raising the army and navy. Adrain Steel, attorney: I am opposed to universal military service, but be- lieve that Congress should pass the se- lective conscription bill, as it will best meet the country’s need at this time. Selective conscription will send the men to the front that can do more there than at home and keep the men at home that can do the most good at home. Every community will share the burden of war alike. W. B. Lewis, Principal Langeten School, colored: Selective conscription only will meet the situation. it is the most economic plan. Our Senators and Congressmen should pass the ew tion Dill. A. J. Blair, manager De Soto Nur series: I believe in selective conscripe tion with universal service if necessary. Our Senators and Congressmen should work for the passage of the bill. H. W. Harris, editor, De Soto Press: I am for the selective conscription and universal service plan first, last and all the time. Any other plan is not treating the nation as a whole right. R. R. Ragland, superintendent of sig- nals, Missouri Division, Iron Mountain Railroad: I am not in favor of compul- sory military service as a policy, but believe under present conditions selec- tive conscription the best plan. Con- gress should pass the bill. W. E. Crow, editor, Jefferson County Republican: As a policy I favor the volunteer, system, but Congress should stand by the President now and pass the selective conscription bill. We must have an army and navy now and the conscription plan seems to be the plan suited to meet the need. Nine for Conscription in Butler; One Against It. BUTLER, MO., April 25.—J. Brown Walton, president Walton Trust Co, and Missouri State Bank, favors uni- versal service and selective conscrip- tion. “The volunteer system will nev- er get us anywhere. We want an army that can be depended on at all times. Would have Senators Reed and Stone and Congressman Dickinson vote for universal service.” Thomas A. Black, clothing merchant —"I am of the opinion that the vol- unteer system is the best though I may be mistaken. Every man has a right to say whether or not he wants to fight. Many young men would gladly volunteer if they thought the country in actual danger. Judge Carl J. Henry, Judge of the Bates County Probate Court: The universal service selective conscrip- tion plan is the only way in which to raise an effective army. To raise a volunteer army takes too much time and the best and most efficient men never get into the army through this system. Would ask our Senators and Congressmen to vote for the universal service plan.“ Dr. Thomas F. Lockwood, physician: J have not given the matter a great deal of thought, but am of the opinion that the volunteer system of raising an army is not the right way. A universal service law properly and impartially enforced it seems to me is the ideal way for the raising of an effective fighting machine.” H. G. Cook, proprietor of the Amer- ican Clothing House: Universal serv- ice and selective conscription by all means. There are many thougands of able-bodied men in this country between the ages of # and 80 who would make ideal soldiers. Properly trained they they would make an almost invincible army. The volunteer system is no longer feasible. Too many inen shirk their duty through its workings. Would ask that our Senators and Congressmen vote for universal service law. H. H. Holloway, grocer: A universal service and selective conscription law is the ideal way to raise an army. It gives every man a duty to perform. The volunteer system does not get the best material for soldiers. D. K. Walker, dry goods merchant, whose oldest son has recently volun- teered in the French ambulance serv- * * bs — — 4 the Prudent. A Safe Deposit Bux $5 a Year ice: “I favor such a universal service and selective conscription law as will give us the greatest and best army :n the world. This the volunteer system will not do. It is too crude and takes too long to fill the various units. Ben B. Canterbury, insurance agent: “The proposed service and selective con- scription act meets my idea of the way to raise and keep up an army. We have tried the volunteer system and found it wanting in many particulars. Eight for Conscription in Salem; Two Opposed. SALEM, April 25.—The following business men expressed their opinion of universal service and selective con- scription: W. J. Bennett, secretary of Bennett Merce. Co., Salem— “Strictly for: the only way to raise army; universal ser- vice the best yet. am opposed to this war, universal military training, conscription and raising a large army at this time. Have written Senators and Congress- men 16th district to oppose bill. I think entry of Inited States into European war violative of all our tra- ditions since foundation of our gov- ernment and greatest mistake this country ever made. The war is un- popular with the people generally and the failure of young men to enlist and necessity of consvription proves it. Germany ought to be whipped but it is not our duty to do it.” John M. Stephens, real estate and attorney, Salem— I am strictly in favor of universal service and con- scription and want Congressmen and Senators to vote for same. John W. Roberts, editor of Repub- llean— “Strictly opposed to all of it. Rev. Church South— For universal service and conscription; wants Congressmen | and Senators to vote for it. E. L. Vernon, secretary of Butler Vernon Mercantile Co.—I am for uni- versal service and conscription and want Congressmen and Senators to vote for it. R. B.

Coffman & Co., wholesale grocers— “Am fof universal service and selec- tive conscription, it is the only way.” Mrs. T. A. Bruce, proprietor and manager of Salem Telephone Co.—*I am strong for universal service and selective conscription. The only way, let our Congressmen and Senators vote for it. C. P.

Scruggs, Baptist: I would favor volunteering if results were to be ‘had, but under present circumstances 1 favor what the administration plans and would not now question what the army ‘officials think best in view of the state- ments of the experienced officers of En- land. I think the Congress should sup- port the administration, I think Con- gréssman Russell and the Senators ought to vote for the conscription bill because I believe conscription is the better way to cope with the situation. S8. P. Loebe, bill poster: I would favor volunteer systern for a short period and then conscription if enough men were not obtained. I want Representative Russell to vote for a volunteer system ‘first and then for conscription if that method is necessary.” C. E. Schuchert, Councilman: “We an get plenty of volunteers. It will take six months to train the first half million men and by that time we ‘can go to conscription plan to get men if that is necessary. I want Rus- sell to vote against the conscription Dill and for a volunteer bill.” W. Stephenson, train dispatcher: “I am in favor of conscription and of support of the administration bill be- fore Congress. [ prefer that Con- gressman Russell vote in favor of it. There is a wrong and right way: this ig the right way. C. A. Wayman, traveling man: “I favor conscription bill. I1 think con- Scription method better than volun- teer. It would make the slacker go f it. It is proper way to get an army. It would leave the industrial worker at his business. I want our Congressman to vote for the bill.” W. B. Schaeffer, bank president: “I favor military training in all schools for every boy. That's best for the country. Men will not fight if forced, they won't work if forced as they will if they voluntarily work. it is not a popular war. I think Rus- sell ought to vote no on conscrip- tion.” Charles Vogelsang, retired farmer: 1 favor volunteering if it is possible io get the men; if not, then conscription; would want Congressman to vote for volunteer system and then for conscrip- tion if necessary. C. Berry, grocer’s clerk: I favor vol- unteer plan first, buf if that fails; then the conscription plan. I would want our Congressman to vote for a volunteer amendment. If volunteering fails, then pass a selective conscription bill. Roy E. Speidel of Senath, who has just enlisted for Medical Corps, said he f- vored volunteering first and then con- scription.

Townsend, marble cutter: I am in favor of conscription. I think it is the ‘only way to secure and prepare a great army. Ed M. Haymaker, former missionary to Guatemala and teacher of English in college at Guatemala City: I am for anything the President and those in authority deem the wise course to pur- sue and our Congressmen and Senators should work to that end. Ruben Reeves, hotel keeper: Conscrip- tion by all means, It will be the means of getting the cream of the manhood of our country into the great army. Our Congressmen and Senators should vote to that end. E. H. Gilbert, physician and druggist: I am in favor of conscription. Make it universal. It is the only way the coun- try will ever organize a decent army. While I have a son who would probably Wave to go at the first call, I am for it, and Congress should support such a measure. I favor W. T. Ross, retired merchant: I am fer selective conscription, and Con- 1 the Senate should support . t Wilson in his efforts to se- Freat army. H.

Rans- burgh, County Clerk, all favor universal service and selective conscription. 12 Interviewed in Rolla Are All for Conscription. ROLLA, Mo., April 2.—L. H. Breuer, Mayor of Rolla, said: I am in fovar of unversal service and selective conscrip- tion. The experience of nations has and the teaching of history shows that su is the only successful ‘way to raise 2 effective army for war. I 1 I want my Congressman and | D. F. Donahoe, abss tractor, J. M. El- —— — —— lis, deputy circfit clerk; Floy W. Webb, assistant cashier of the National bank, Robert Heller, clothler and Linwood Peatross, deputy collector of xolla, all favor universal service and selective conscription. „Just quote us, said Mr. Donahoe, speaking for the group, as say!ng, that in view of the fact that this country has declared war against Germany, and we have voted $7,000,000,000 to wage the war, that unless we have selective con- scription to raise an army, that we should hoist the white flag and at once sue for peace with Germany.“ Dr. 8. L. Baysinger, physician, at Rolla, says: I favor universal service to prepare for our country’s defense, as well as for the physical benefit to the young men of our country. I favor selective conscription because we are at war and have voted §$7,000,000,000 to pay for it, hence a.voluntary system would be a joke and would humiliate ue in the eyes of the civilized world. M. F. Faulkner, druggist at Rolla: I favor selective conscription in prefer. ence to the voluntary. We are at war and must have the men to carry it toa successful conclusion. I believe univer- sal military training is best for the young men of the country. E. J. Koch, cigar manufacturer, said: i am strongly in favor of selective conscription and also universal service. Selective service is the only quick and fair way to raise an army to meet the demands of the present crisis: It will take five years to raise an army of sufficient strength to cope with Ger- many. J. A. Watson, attorney: “I favor the selective con conscription plan for rais- ing whatever army is necessary to carry to a successful conclusion the war with Germany. In my judgment this is the only plan that absolutely insures victory without great sacrifice of men and money on our part. W. R. Ellis, Circuit Clerk, favors both universal service and selective conscrip- tion. Universal service is a fine thing for every. young man in the country, said Mr. Ellis, ad selective conscription is the only sure and quick method for raising an army. F. A. Strobach, capitalist, is in fav- or of universal service and selective conscription. “I believe every young man should have military training.“ said Mr. Strobach, “and the only way to raise an army is by selective con- scription if we expect to wage a suc- cessful war.“ A. B. Holmes, prosecuting attorney of Phelps County, says: “I favor na- iversal service for the reason that every young man should have mili- tary traiinng and if we are to wage a war against Germany we should raise an army at once and the only way to dothat is by selective conscrip- Most of the above have sent tele- grams to our Senators and to Con gressman Rubey urging them to sup- port selective conscription as pre- posed by President Wilson. Without exception all want our Sénators and Congressmen to vote fer universal service and selective conscription. Favors Thirty-Day Trial of Volunteer System.

Crowder, City Attorney of Carthage, “Selective conscription and untversal service are absolutely neces- gary. The oconscriptive draft is Bauitable. It doesn’t detract from the patriotic volunteer who isn't forced to serve his country but does make the slacker do his bit in time of stress. Of course I want my representative fn Congress to vote for it.” We can’t secure enough men under the volunteer plan, and Congress should at once pass the bill providing for selec- tive conscription,” declared W. F. War- Ing, insurance agent and president of the Carthage Social Board. J. P. Leggett, president of the Leggett @ Platt Bed Spring Co. and former May- or of Carthage: We cannot raise an army by the volunteer plan and I think Congress should heed the advice of the military experts, who certainly are in a position to know the nation’s military needs in this crisis. W. H. Gentry, M. D.: Put me down for universal training and selective conscription. It is the only way. Even if we don’t need the great army we build now we may later.

Congress will save tire by enacting the law now. We can’t raisa the army by volunteers. Byron Ash, mine operator: Congress will make a terrible mistake unless the administration bill containing the selec- tive conscription draft provision is nov passed. It is the only sound, logival way to raise an efficient army in a reasonable length of time. And hasten the day when we have universal ser ice. Bert Johhson, County Collector: So m- er or later we'll have to come to s.lec- tive conscription. Why not now and save time and money? I also favor univérsal training. Joseph McMillan, hardware merchant: Why throw away time with what has always proved a failure. The volunteer plan never was a success. Giv: us Se- uective conscription and universal cerv- vice now. Two for Conscription in Moberly, Eight Opposed. MOBERLY, Mo., April 2%.—Ten men interviewed here today expressed their sentiments relative to universal service and selective conscription, as follows: Dr. E. R. Hickerson: I favor univer- sal service and selective conscription, I believe it is the best way to raise an army and to get suitable men for the army. I have a son of my own of mili- tary age.. He can be conscripted for service in the army or to work on the farm, and I will not object. C. F. Rothwell, editor Moberly Mohi- tor: I want our Senators and Repre- sentatives to vote against selective con- scription, because it is unjustifiable at this time. It is a confession of weak- ness in the face of the enemy by a na- tion of 20,000,000 men. It will intimidat- the republic, raise a disloyal army and ! create a dictator with power of life and death. It will chill the rising fervor of patriotism and destroy confidence in the Government. It assumes a breach the covenant of allegiance without a trial. in tavor of selective conscription. This plan gives every one a fair deal. It, catches the rich and poor alike and the riff-raff of the country. boy of military age. E. B. Mahan, furniture dealer: I am opposed to selective conscription with- out first giving the volunteer plan a trial. We are a patrotic people. It is unnecessary to draft us into the army to aid our country. If, however, the volun- teer plan fails, I think selective con- scription should be enforced. Our Sen- ators and Representatives should voie against it. John Jennings, vice president Mechan- ics Savings Bank and former president Missouri State Bankers’ Association: | am opposed to universal service an. conscription because it is un-Americe' and will alienate the people from the administration. “I want Missouri Sen- ators aid Congressmen to vote against it. Roy Blythe, president Blythe Cloth- ing Co.: “I consider selective con- scription as unnecessa’y in a free country. It smacks of militarism and we are fighting Germany for that very reason. I am unalterably op- posed to it, without first trying the If we are a democ- racy let us raise our army in a demo- cratic manner. Our Senators and Representatives should vote against selective conscription. J. H. Whitecotton, attorney and former Speaker of the Missouri House: “I am opposed to universal service and selective conscription. It is out of place in this country until such time as the volunteer plan proves a failure. Missouri Senators and Representatives should vote against it.” Patrick Holloran, secretary Moberly Artificial Ice Co.: A free country doesn’t need universal service and se- lective conscription. We have 2,000,- 000 men. We are loyal and patriotic. It is unpatriotic to force men into the army without giving them a chance to volunteer. The volunteer plan should be tried first. Our Representatives and Senators in Washington should vote against the conscription bill. R. J. Gee, manager Moberly Steam Laundry: Why raise such a row over conscription? We've always had enough volunteers to carry to a successful end- ing any war in which we have engaged. I'm against selective conscription until the volunteer plan is tried and proves a failure. Our Senators and Congress- men should vote against it. J. Elmer Ball, attorney: I am opposed to universal service and selective con- scription. It is not in keeping witn the American spirit. If the volunteer plan falls it is then time to talk of con- scription. Loyal Americans won't have to be drafted. Our should vote against the bill. In a mass meeting of the ladies’ clubs this afternoon, resolutions were passed and arrangements made to urge Ais- souri's Senators and Representatives to vote against conscription. ‘ Conscription Favored | if Other Means Fail.

John Bernard, printer: I do not want conscription now and want the Senators and Representatives to vote against it. W. N.

The Stomach and Health * It is far better to have an empty purse, a good stomach and be hun- gry, than to have wealth, no appc- tite and indigestion. There {fs wealth and health in a well, strong and hungry stomach. Then think what Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey does to promote digestion. In table- spoonful doses before meals, it stim- ulates the mucous surfaces and lit- tle glands of the stomach to healthy action, assisting digestion and as- similation work so that the food you eat gives the body the greatest amount of fuel and tissue-building supplies. The mild and tonic effect of Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey is specially adapted to the use of per- sons with diseased or delicate stom- achs, for it invigorates the nervous mechanism of that organ, which is the supreme test of its virtues. Thus with a firm grip on digestion and assimilation, you get baci the pror- er balance of their functions and you will know the pleasure of éat- ing whatever the ate selects. Be- cause it has afforded relief to thou- sands of sufferers from indigestion and the kindred ills of digestion, the advice to “Get Duffy’s and- K Well” should prompt all stomac sufferers to like action.

Craig, superintendent printing plant: NEURALGIA AND SCIATICA The one symptom of neuralgia is pain and it is unmistakable. and debility are responsible for neu- ralgia, particularly in women. To remedy the neuralgic condition it is necessary to build up the blood and improve the general health and for this purpose there is nothing better nor more convenient than Dr. Wil- iams Pink Pills. Sciatica is nothing more than neu- ralgia of the sciatic nerve. If you have neuralgia or sciatic pains do not go to great expense for treatment until you have tried büild- ing up the blood. If you are pale the chances are very strong that the treat- ment with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are all that you will require. Hot ap- plications and liniments may be used at the same time if you desire. They may relieve the pain and temporary relief is the best you can expect from them anyway. The pain in the nerve is caused by nerve starvation. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills give to the blood the elements that the nerves need. The contain no narcotics and are not pain-kill. ers. They remove the cause of the pain. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by your own druggist, or will be sent by the Dr. Williams ‘Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. ¥.

I can't say as to how the Con- gressman and Senators should vote, ar that depends on the nature of the bill: C. W. Keck, assistant Postmaster: am not in favor of universal service and selective conscription. Volunteer gressman and Senators should that way. H. E. Errett, china store: During the early part of the Civil War the volun- teer system was uged to raise gréat armies and failed, so conscription was made necessary.

I believe conscription and universal service are the only way to render service to this country just. A lazy man will not volunteer and while others are in the service the lazy, no- account slacker will steal what he has left at home.

It is as unfair to per- mit war to be fought by volunteers as it would be to get a voluhteer subscrip- tion to pay the expenses.

Take the: fellows who won't work or those wh@ na ve no job and make them fight.” _ JPM.

Police Board President Mansur’s investigation of the raising of a fund of $13,000 to de paid to Attorney Joseph Crites of Rolla and others who promoted the police salary increase bill was temporarily halted today pendi the receipt of written reports from e 1626 policemen who were benefited by the bill. Each sergeant, patrolman, proba- tionary and turnkey in the depart- ment has been ordered to report in writing. These reports will put all men on record as to their knowledge of the fund, who solicited the sub- scriptions and the purpose to which the money was to be devoted. The evidence taken at recent hearings before Presdent Mansur is being type- written. All of the members of the Wxecutive Committee of the Police Re- lief Association were examined and tes- tified that the committee knew nothing of the fund, as it was handled by a subcommittee known as the Salary Com- mittee, in which Patrolman Ray Cum- mins and William McCormack were most active. Cummins yesterday decided to accept his. suspension as disqualifying him to act as secretary of the Police Relief Association. Patrolman Richard Lam- pert of the Carondelet District was ap- pointed as temporary secretary, with Patrolman Willlam McCullough as tem- porary assistant. McCullough formerly was secretary of the association and is familiar with its workings. ALLIES WON’T ASK THAT U. S.

It is of course impossible,“ Mr. Bal- four went on, ‘‘for you to realize in con- crete detail all that the war has meant to those engaged in it for the last two and a half years. Such feeling can come only with the actual experience. We on the other side have been living in an atmosphere of war since August, 1914, and cannot move about the streets or go about our daily business without having ever present what war means.“ “For instance, Mr. Balfour continued, “we arrived on Sunday and I went out in the evening after dark. I had at the time a strange feeling which I did not analyze at first. Then it came to me that for two and a half years I had not walked on a street such as I was then on. There has not been in London or in the whole United Kingdom a street in which after dark the whole com- munity has not been wrapped in dark- ness. This is a very small matter, per- haps, but typical. So also typical of the rest of England is the fact that four members of the Cabinet have lost sons in the war and now, by today’s paper, I see that a fifth, Bonar Law, has been similarly afflicted.’’ Roses Sent to French Party. The British commission planned to give most of today to joining in the welcome to their French colleagues. The party assembled at the navy yard to greet the Mayflower to which they had sent a large wreath of all the va- rious roses of France, inscribed ‘‘Long Live the Alliance. Homage to the French from Their British Brothers. Mr. Balfour later took lunch with the Italian Ambassador and visited the Treasury Department. This evening he will attend the dinner to the French at the British embassy. Seven More Members of British and One of French Mission Reach U. 8. NEW YORK, April 2.—Seven add tional members of the British and one additional member of the French Com- missions sent here to confer with Amer- loan officials on the conduct of the war against Germany arrived at an American port today on a liner. The members of the British party are Goodwin, Heron, Longhorn, Leeming, McGowan, Puckle and Vigor. Capt. M. E. de Jarney of the French artillery arrived to join the French delegation. DAVES TO TEST VALIDITY OF POLICE Non FEE LAW Will Have Prisoner Refuse Payment and Will Carry Case to Supreme Court. City Counseler Daues announced to- day that he will use a police station prisoner to test the validity of the atat- ute under which the police collect 80 cents for the Police Relief Fund for ac- cepting bonds for persons accused of violating city ordinances and for mis- demeanors. A prisoner will be instructed to resist payment of the fee. Counselor Daues will then obtain his release on a writ of Rabeas cofpus and take the case to the Supreme Court. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 1916, the police collected $6906.50 from 13,811 persons as bond fees. Another section of the same statute, authorizing polleemen to collect wit- ness fees and turn them into the relief fund, hes been declared unconstitu- tional. — — ö BUSINESS MEN FOR HOME GUARD Number Over Age Limit tg St. Joseph (Me.)

The text of Spain's note to Germany on submarine warfare, as given in @ Berlin dispatch, while conveying a rave Warning that the end of Spurish pa- ‘*tience is in sight, also contains a sug- -@estion that a crisis may be averted through negotiation. The note says in Dart: , „All the repeated attemps of the Span- ish Government undertake: with rhe in- * tention of safeguarding its sea t‘afiic +» and the lives of its sailors. have failed in the face of the imperturbable resolu- aon of the imperial Government to en. ploy unusual and violent war measures. It is asserted that these measures ren- der impossible the economic existence of the imperial Government's enemies. but simultancously they expose to great dangers the existence of friendly neutral Powers.“ Restrictions on Shipping. The note then complains of the series of restrictions Gemany imposed on Span- ish shipping and of the sinking of Span- tsh ships without warning. It declares that these methods render the economic _ existence of Spain almost impossible. ~The note continues: “All these prove that German inten- tions neither aim at acknowledging our rights as we have demanded repeatedly and with justice, nor take into account, as they should, the requests of a coun- try. whose friendship unti: today was unabated and whose neutrality was pre- served without wavering. “If the imperial Government persists tn declaring that it adheres to its de- termination in order to defend its life, it must not be astonished if Spain, for yi RENEE RE RS : K.

By ARNO DOSCH-FLEUROT A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and New York World. (Copyright, 1917, by Press Pub, Co.) PETROGRAD, April 23, via London, April Z25.—The American Embassy was threatened with an attack last night by a mob of radical Socialists, incited by Nokolai Lenine, the exile who returned from Switzerland through Germany. A crowd gathered on the Nevsky Prospekt at 11 p. m. on Sunday night. It started a mile from the Embassy. Lenine said America was the enemy of the Socialists, for having hung Mooney. (Thomas J. Moono, San Francisco labor leader. was convicted of murder in con- nection with the bomb explosion at the San Franciscé preparedness parade, and sentenced to be hung, but has received a new trial on alleged evidence.) The Embassy was warned by telephone and 50 soldiers were sent, toid to kill anyone trying to enter the EmbDassy. Ambassador Francis was at supper with some English guests, following the bal- let, when Capt. Duiesoff, the Petrograd militia commander, telephoned. On find- ing that a squad of soldiers had already arrived to protect the Embassy, Ambas- sador Francis’ secretary, Earl Johnson, accampanied the guests home. The civilian police, on arriving, con- firmed the report that a crowd with a black flag was gdvancing. Francis and his secretary, the only Americans pres- ent, were inclined at first not to take the matter seriously, but when informed of the danger, Am. bassador Francis got a revolver and took up a position at the entrance. Fifty more soidiers, arriving on hurry orders, were addressed by the citizen police officer, who said German provo- cateurs, lying to the crowd, had made trouble and ordered immediate shooting if the crowd irrived. When word of these preparations for its reception reached the crowd advanc- ing along the Litanſe it dispersed. The soldiers remained at the embassy all night. Ambassador Francis said: Until the soldiers arrived I could not take seriously the report of things of which I was warned by both police and military. It is easy to understand the motives of a German agent wishing to turn the mob against Americans, hop- ing to disturb the present friendly rela- tionship. The crowd, ignorant of the facts, was in a rage against America as the enemy of.Soctalism, and was easily Started, but easily dissuaded of its pur- pose by calm citizens telling the truth and contradicting the agitators.“ * the same reason, must emphasize her right to defend her own life Despite nékative replies to its pre- vious note, the Spanish Government still trusts that the German Govern- ment will earnestly appreciate the sense and significance of this note and and in future its measures will be guid- ed by regard for the lives o, our sea- men and the safety of her ships... “The Spanish Government also hopes ‘that the imperial — — — minnuumnmnnee eee Mii HALAL HVANDOAEANATOOULEEULENAOOOTEODANEDSEFHUETOALUDOASUOCHENTETEELELEFOOLENOEEOOT EEA EPA LSES e Mii — — — appreciating the aifferent economic sit- uation in Spain, will enter into a dis- cussion with the Spanish Government regarding measures whicl. may be taken, within the limits of military necessities, for the mitigation of the difficulties which have arisen in Spain.“ Romanones Says He Resigned de- cause Convinced Spain Should Fight.

Inquiries by a Post-Dispatch reporter today along Produce Row, on Third street, indicate that prices are to be lower on butter and eggs in the near future. In a jobbing way butter has fallen off four cents from a week ago, and eggs are being offered three cents cheaper, while chickens, most of the of- ferings of which are hens, are two cents lower than they were last week. Best Elgin butter is now being sold by jobbers at u cents; it was 48 cents a week ago. Dealers anticipate an addl- tional decline of three cents next Satur- day. Best candled eggs are now 3% cents, as compared with 40 cents a week ago. Chiekens Are 8 No further decline ig — for in the price of chicken, however, as offerings are scarce. Dealers assert chicken flocks were disposed of because ol the high cost of feed last winter. Chickens today are being offered in a jobbing way at 20 cents a poynd, which is two cents lower than a week ago. Prospects of big offerings of spring chickens later in the season are being talked of among jobbers, who declare reports of large purchases of incubators are prevalent.- Dealers in incubators have said they are selling 50 incubators this year where they sold one a year ago, indicating that preparations are being made to replenish the depleted stocks of poultry. Beans to Adv Retail grocers assert that all kinds of beans, for which there is a large demand, are to advance soon, owing to increased buying by the Govern- ment. Navy beans are now 18 cents @ pound. Reports on canned goods indicate that the canners are out of stock, and that supplies in future must be from the jobber. Future orders are being placed for this year’s canning crop, but all indications point to a scarcity of tin, which has caused the canners to inform the retailers hat they may not be able to supply them with all the goods they need at given times. Sugar still retails at $10.50 a hun- dred pounds for the beat, and $10.76 for the cane.

The truck was on the Walton road two miles north of Clayton when Mitch- ell seized Kern by the throat and Ma- guire, assisted by Tibolt, tried to take his revolver. Kern called for help and William Litzinger, the driver, and John Voightman, a helper, went to his as- sistance and the three prisoners were overpowered.

The celebrated Kimmel insurance case, after being in the courts for 13 years, came to an end yesterday when Judge Dyer of the United States District Court approved an offer of the New York Life tusurance Co. to make a settlement vy paying to the First National Bank of for George A. Kimmel, bank cashier, for merly of Arkansas City, Kan. The basis of settlement is the face of the policy plus accumulated premiums. The settlement was on a policy for $6000, of which Kimmel’s sister, Mrs. Edna K. Bonsleet t Chicago, was ben- eficiary, but which she assigned to the bank after Kimmel disappeared Aug. 1, 1898, Suit was brought Aug. 15, 1904. In the first suit a verdict.was given the plaintiff, but a higher court remand- ed the case for retrial. Two trials fol- lowed; in each of which the jury dis- agreed. Mra. Bonsleet sued in tné Circuit Court on two $10,000 policies and got a verdict, which was affirmed by the Sup- reme Court, for the full amount, plus premiums paid, a total of $26,000 The triale were made dramatic by the production of a man who said he was Kimmel. He was repudiated by Mrs. Bonsleet and her mother. He was taken | to Niles the home of Kimmel, where old friends of Kimmel were of divergent opinions as to whether he was Kimmel, It was shown at the trials that the claimant was formerly an inmate of an asylum for criminal insane in New York State, under the name of White.

S. WITH THE FRENCH COMMISSION Viviani and Joffre Will Make No Effort to In- fluence President, But They Desire American Force on European Front, He Says By Lincoln Eyre. A Nraft Correspondent of ne Post-Dispatch and New York world, uthe ac- companied the French mission from Paris. _HAMPTON ROADS, Va., April 25.— The French mission, with Rene Viviani, vice president of the Ministerial Council of France, and Marshal Joffre at its head, entered American waters aboard a French auxiliary cruiser after dawn yesterday. The cruiser and her convoy dropped anchor off Fort Monroe, and in the afternoon the principal members of the mis- sion went aboard the President’s yacht, the Mayflower, which carried them to Washington. M. Viviani and his colleagues, 12 in all, will set foot on American soil at the national capital shortly after the noon hour today.. Soon afterward they will visit the White House to pay their respects to President Wil- pon. In sending to the United States 80 exalted a group of statesmen and soldiers the French republic has sought above all things to express its appreciation in the most compli- mentary form of the stand taken by the American people and their chief executive against the common enemy. Given No Instructions, M. Viviani, in whom the confidence of his associates in the Ribot Cabinet is such that no written instructions were handed to him before his departure, is desirous above all of reinforcing the al- ready strong bonds existing between his country and our own, in seeking to impress upon Mr. Wilson the friendship and gratitude of the French Government and people. However, the Minister of Justice is determined to avoid even the semblance of a desire to influence the view of the administration at Washing- ton toward the role the United States should play in bringing about the de- feat of Germany. It is his ardent wish to be of assist- ance to the President in solving the problems confronting him, but no effort will be made by the French ministry’s representative to suggest any form of policy to the American Government. Marshal Joffre, who is accompanied by five officers intimately acquainted with the technical aspects of the strug- gle, was chosen to accompany M. VI- viani because he is the greatest living soldier of France. It was felt that no less a military figure would be appre- ciated in emphasizing the sentiments of the French army toward the soldiers of the United States. The Marshal, in saluting the Com- mander in Chief of the armed forces of America, has no definite proposal to submit to the War Department. He will, however, be prepared to lay be- fore Mr. Wilson whatever information the latter may request of him and he will, of course, express to the President the joy thrilling in the hearts of the “poilus” at the prospect of the Stars and waving over the bloodied of France at the side of the Tricolor. While Marshal Joffre is loath to make suggestions to the American Govern- ment, it is known that his personal at- titude favors the sending of an Ameri- can expeditionary force to France and that the French Ministry of Marine has gone so far as eo work out a plan for the use of the French naval ports, wnich will be submitted to the American Gov- ernment if it seems to regard such a proposition with favor. The moral effect of the American flag waving over American troops on the battlefields of France would have its military value, and there are other mili- tary considerations which lead Marshul Joffre to favor such a plan. Force Would Be -Well Equipped. Such a force, as the French General sees it, would be an elaborate military machine, with all the various auxiliary branches which are part of a complete military establishment. Telegraph and automobile transport service, railway lines and railway ex- perts, rolling stock, base depots, shops, and, of course, a large force of aviators with aeroplanes, hangars, etc., for which the Lafayette escadrille could serve as a beginning—all these would be ancluded in the expedition. The numerous naval questions still re- guiring a decision Will be discussed at the pleasure of the Navy Department by Admiral Paul Chocheprat, Vice Presi- dent of the Superior Council of the Min. try of Marine, who is with M. Vivi- ani in the capacity of naval adviser. The Admiral, who has among his staff au- thorities on maritime transport matters, will be ready to indicate to the admin- istration the steps he considers may become necessary to assure proper trans- portation mediums between France anid America for the after-war period of re- construction, as well as during the great conflict. M. Viviani's principal political council- lor will be the Marquis de Chambrun, vice president of the parliamentary For- eien Affairs Committee and great- "grandson of Gen. Lafayette. The Mar- @U.4, „ member of the bar of the Su- treme Court of the United States, is seemed invaluable not only owing to his owe of American affairs, but to i eeestery of the English language, which M. Viviani does not speak. The fnancial requirements of France in the Inited States will, I understand, | be very fully dealt with. In addition to the estublishment of credits for expendi- tures in this country totalling $200,000,000 4 month, the mission will likely confer with Government financial authorities "concerning a far more extensive scheme ot interaliied finance.

Before the sun was far above the horizon M. Viviani and Marshal Joffre came on the bridge and, with their col- leagues, watched our entry into the harbor. I asked the Marshal, who was smiling radiantly, what he thought of it. “A glorious s‘ght!” he replied. “I am glad to be here to see America again. And today you have the sun- Shine of France in your beautiful |] American sky.’”’ May Visit St. Louis. The mission which will remain in} this country not longer than three weeks, will probably stop in Wash- ington the greater part of that time. The itinerary has not been fully ar- ranged, but is expected to include visits to New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and St. Louis. Marshal Joffre is glad to come to America. He admits it freely himself. and his actions and conversation dur- ing the ten days I have been privi- ledged to spend with him provide am- ple confirmation. He has thrown him- self into matters pertaining to the United States in general and to the military roles he may play in this war in particular with all the whole- hearted comprehension of which his great intellect is capable. While it has been of course impos- sible for him to discuss for publica- tion the form he would like to see American intervention in the war as- sume, I have derived from my inter- course with the Marshal and his staff certain concise impressions. Chief among them is the sincere respect | Marshal, F : e N he eas entertained by Marshal Joffre for President Wilson. Upon the President, as commander in chief of the American army, must rest the responsibility for decisions which in France would devolve upon the mili- tary command at the front rather than upon any civilian power. Therefore the being a soldier, views the President as a man directly controlling the destinies of the soldiers of the United States. And he has faith in Mr. Wilson's ability to understand the sol- dierly point of view so far as the busi- ness of winning this war is concerned. Again, I am impressed with the Mar- shal’s quite evident desire to leave the initiative to the President and his mili- tary advisers. There is no doubt he will wholly refrain from even the appear- ance of seeking to influence Mr. Wil- son’s attitude toward the uses to which the armed forces of the United States should be put. Convinced as he is of the President’s determination to de- feat Germany, Marshal Joffre said: ‘‘I believe that only the head of the Amer- ican nation can be fully informed as to the road the American people must travel to attain that end.“ Has No Concrete Program. As I see it, the victor of the Marne will lay no concrete program before his hosts at Washington, will ask of them no favors and will altogether ab- stain from pressing upon them views which might not wholly coincide with the needs of the situation as visualized at the White House. On the other hand, he is certainly prepared to place at the disposal of the President knowledge gained in the terrible school of experi- ence which France has Deen forced to attend for almost three years. His staff officers are star scholars in that school, each of them a distinguished «xpert in eo the various sciences that go to make | WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 25, 1917. up the art of warfare. Whatever in- formation the administration may re quire in consolidating its plans for American military activity will be available from the moment the French mission salutes President Wilson. Marshal Joffre does not conceal, of course, the pleasurable anticipation which he shares with all France at the thought of the Stars and Stripes flying besides the Tricolor on French battle- fields. In one of our talks on the voyage just ended I asked him how the pollus“ in the trenches really felt at the pros- pect of the American flag appearing alongside their own. “I think it pleases them as much as anything that has happened,” he replied, in his grave, pleasant way. The history of the most important and most distinguished mission which the Government of the French republic has ever sent to the New World reflects above all the desire of France to pay courteous homage to President Wilson and to express to the American nation her grateful appreciation of its readi- ness to make common Cause against her enemies. That desire was first impressed upon me by M. Jules Catnbon, Secretary Gen- eral of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, days before I knew I should be per- mitted to accompany the illustrious voy- agers to the United States. It has since been reiterated, in various forms, by M. Viviani and Marshal Joffre, the Marquis de Chambrun and Admiral Cocheprat and all the other members of the mission. “TI cannot tell you, of course, what the mission will discuss with President Wilson,“ M. Cambon observed.

Our cruiser brouglit up the rear, her crew in life belts standing by the guns and boats. Within half an hour we had left the roads and were in the thick of the U-boats’ tnhappy hunting ground. After dinner Marshal Joffre, wholly unimpressed by U-boat possibilities, retired to his stateroom and to bed. M. Vivinia and the rest of us went out on deck to watch the French coast fade away and to speculate on such interesting matters as the prob- able number of submarines off Brest.

The mission began to think less of submarines and more of seasickness. But the sea was per- fectly calm, and everybody was sati- fied the worst was over. The first days communique telling of British successes at Saint Quentin pleased everybody, but we wondered why the offensive due to start in Champagne the morning we left Paris, a fact of which most ef us had been was postponed a day, as we later learned by bad weather. The days passed pleasantly enough, men who are the elite of their country and with incidents like the appear- ance on the horizon of a vessel which might or might not be a German raider. One such craft turned tail and fled from us before we could identify it. The destroyers, by the way, had turned back at 6 p. m. the second day out, having seen us safely through the danger zone.

WAY TO PROCEED IN FREIGHT RATE CASES DECIDED ON Railroads Permitted to File Sup- plement Tariffs for 15 Per. Cent Advances, BASIS - FOR — HEARINGS Commerce Commission Makes Clear It Has Reached No De- termination on Proposed Increase. WASHINGTON, April 2.—The Inter- state Commerce Commission today pre- scribed the method of procedure in the 15 per cent rate advance cases by per- mitting the railroads to file supplemen- tal tariffs covering the increase. This is in line with the commission's tenta- tive order entered a few days ago. The new tariffs will be subject to protest, suspension, complaint, investi- gation and correction, the commission announced, and their filing is only pre- liminary to detailed consideration of the application and does not dispose of the cases. Statement by Commission. The commission, in making public its order, issued the following statement: “Following requests by the carriers throughout the country to be permitted to file supplements to existing rate schedules proposing general increases in rates of 15 per cent, éxcept as to a few specified commodities, the commission has recently heard in conference a large number of representatives of the car- riers and shippers respecting the mat- ter. The purpose of these requests is to avoid the expense and delay inci- dent to the full and detailed prepara- tion and republication of all of the ex- isting tariff schedules, substituting in detail the proposed increased rates for these now in effect. “The commission deems to be tn the Public interest that the question of the propriety and reasonableness of these proposed increases should be scheduled. considered and disposed of as promptly as may de feasible and practicable, consistent with the ends ot justice. Therefore, acting under che discretion with which it is vested by section six of the act to regulate commerce, the commission has issued the permissive orders announced to- day authorizing the filing of rate sup- plements as therein stated. Has Reached No Conclusion. “In whew of erroneous reports that have been published, it seems: proper to state that the commission has reached no determination and there- fore expresses no views or opinion upon the question of the reasonable- ness or propriety of such proposed increases, which as indicated in the orders referred to, will be subject to protest, suspension, complaint, inves- tigation and correction if in conflict R * * 9 E 3 e n —— — * — | Famous and Barr Co. | Awings Made to Your Order—Any Size or width—Fourth Floor Well Make Your Window Sade Just as You Want Them—Fourth Floor.

MRS, AGNES YEATER ON TRIAL FOR MURDER OF HER HUSBAND Prosecution at Albany (Mo.) Tells Jury It Will Show Man’s Death Was Caused by Arsenic. ALBANY, Mo., April 25.—The court- house here has been crowded since last Saturday for the trial of Mrs. Agnes Yeater, charged with the murder of her husband, Joseph L. Yeater, who died in December, 1916, from poisoning, accord- ing to a Coroner’s autopsy. The prosecution today told the jury it would show that Yeater came to his death from arsenic, that he for five or six years had frequent attacks of ill- ness and would go away from home and recover only to be stricken again goon after his return home. It was said the State would show that Mrs. Yeater, soon after their marriage, induced Yeater to deed to her his 270- acre farm, and that, in the first place, the went to King City six or seven years ago as the demonstrator of some tollet preparation in Yeater’s store, thus beginning an acquaintance that led to matrimony. The prosecution also said it would in- troduce witnesses to prove that some time before Yeater's death she went in an automobile from Albany to her old home in Columbus, Kan., ‘where she bought a quantity of arsenic.

Bush Discusses Transporta- tion and Urges Co-operation in Every Line of Endeavor. FOOD GREATEST PROBLEM Archbishop Glennon Says Crops Must Be Planted, Then Army Can Be Formed. St. Louis members of the Missourt Council of Defense, appointed by Gov. Gardner, were seen today by Post- Dispatch reporters, who asked them for their views as to, measurés which this State can and should take to meet the war's requirements. The Council of Defense, with 21 members, was named by the Gover- nor yesterday. of the College of Agriculture of the University of Missouri is chairman of the council. The St. Louis mem- bers are Mayor Klei, Archbishop Glennon, George W. Brown, chairman of the Brown Shoe Co., William FI. Lee, president of the Merchants-Le- clede National Bank; B. F. Bush, re- ceiver of the Missouri-lacific and Tron Mountain; M. L. Wilkinson, pres- Vandervoort & Barney Dry Goods Co. and the Rev. Dr. W. C. Bitting, pastor of the Second Bap- tist Church. Duties of the Council. The duties of the Council of De- fenge, as announced by the Gover- nor, are: 1. To mobolize and conserve all the State’s resources. & To co-operate with the War and Navy Departments, the Secretary of Agriculture and the Federal Trade Commission. 3. To assist in a movement to pre- Vent uneconomic speculation in the necessaries of life. 4.

In brief this committee will be the supreme authority cf the com- monwealth in relation to the State’s duties to the nation during the entire period of the war. Mayor Kiel said: I will heartily co- operate with the other members of the State Council to do whatever is re- quired toward the ends which the Gov- ernor has outlined. Among the 21 mem- bers are men of technical experience, and we will be guided by their recom- mendations, and by the National Coun- cil of Defense. The National Council undoubtedly will be able to tell us how to proceed, and what is to be done.“ Hush Discusses Rallroad Problems. Receiver Rush, in his interview, spoke particularly of transportation problems in their relation to the war. te said: »The President, in his recent fProclama- tion to American people, has emphasized the necessities of the people of our country and those of our allies in the present grave crisis which contronts the country, in more comprehensive terms than I could express, which views have also been promulgated by Gov. Gard- ner. “In common with other raitroad ex- ecutives, we have tendered every avail- able acre of our right of way and other property in order to help swell the in- crease of food, farm and forage prod- ucts. “Not only should earnest effort be | made by the farmers, miners and man- ufacturers of our country to increase the ' yield of food products and supplies in order to meet the demands of the men who fight, but, next in importance to the raising of these products, will be the problem of the carriers to find available equipment to transport the same. The present shortage of equipment con- fronting the American railroads, due, in some measure, to a lack of credit and means to buy equipment, makes the re- sponsibility of the carriers no, Hasy one The railroad executives and officers will do everything they can to assist the Government, but they will need the co- operation and assistance of their patrons and friends in meeting the demands. Every laborer can help the country by putting a little more force and energy in his efforts; every shipper can help by expediting the loading and unloading of cars and the release of equipment: all the people, in their several vocations. must put forth their best efforts and co operate as never before to the end tha’ the United States may make a creditable showing and give a good account of her- self in the present war.“ Food Production Greatest Need. Archbishop Glennon said: “I re- ceived no previous intimation that I was to be a member of the Council of Defense, and I have not given thought to the various things we could and should do to carry out its aims. However, under its scope, as outlined by the Governor, I should say the last oné—that of assisting the far- mer and promoting community gar- dening~—for this month and next—is by far the most important, and ono in which all Missouri can help. “This feature of the commission's work should be pushed quickly and to the fullest sextent, because men can be gathered later, munitions can be supplied at any time, but the nec- essary thing today is to see there is going to be enough food, not for this nation and its soldiers alone, but enough to supply the needs of those nations and soldiers we are co-oper- ating with. “I do not say that other features of the commission’s plan should be neglected, but first the attention of this body and the entire State—the city man and the farmer alike—should be directed to this pressing obliga- tion to provide ample amount of food. Men and munitions can be had in August, but corn and potatoes must be planted now.” Problema Mest Be Studied. The Rev. Dr. Bitting said: “The problem for the Council of Defense is too complex for me to give any idea of in an impromptu way. It is threefold and consists, first, of dis- covering what our resources are: second, stimulating interest in them, so that they may be developed, and third, to co-ordinate them after we get them together so that they may be used for the best advantage of all. “I have no fear that this commission of defense will do fits duty as far as it can approximate its ability to the greatest amount of efficiency. I am giad so much interest is being mani- tested in the husbanding of our re- sources, and that so much is being done to impress it upon the people. “Of course the acute problem now be- fore the people will have to be taken care of promptly. The means of doing this will take some thought and prepa- ration and cannot be handled promptu fashion. The main difficulty — in — of the commission, as I see it, is the fact that it has no special forces be- hind it, so that it is to be hoped public sentiment will stand behind it and give it the proper support. “I shall personally stand bahind the Governor in this matter and do all I can to further his aims, because I be- lieve in him. As far as the country is concerned, I stand ready to shoulder a musket or hoe potatoes. The time has come for everyone to lend a hand to do something for the good of all. Let every American citizen keep what this country stands for foremost in his con- sideration.”’ Others Members of Coupetl. The members apointed outside St. Louis, beside the chairman, are: Mayor George H. Edwards, J. Thorn- ton Cook, Walter S. Dickey and Col. W. T. Kemper of Kansas City: May- or Elliott Marshall, St. Joseph: May or Hugh Melndoe, Joplin; Robert Withers, Liberty: Cecil W. Thomas, Jefferson City; E. E. E. McJimsey, Springfield; Col. Lee Shelton, Ken- nett; S. J. Roy, Hannibal: Frank W. McAllister, Paris, and John H. Ga- lcener, Sikeston. Gov. Gardner announced that he would make a personal contribution of $1000 to a fund for the Council’s expenses. 2 —— — ee — — PFF e * 1 rex, i ok oe ae Swart, * N ae . * * * ae - 2 N PLS 3 N ** 5 * . ad * ‘ 4 " * . \ i : Real Estate * f 0 e 8 — 5 days „ * * ae eee Post- wan FIFTY WOMEN REGISTER HERE FOR WAR SERVICE OldersOnes Want Home Work, but Girls Are Willing to Go Anywhere. In the last four days between fifty and sixty women and girls nave regis- tered their willingfiess for war service at the offices of the Nationa! Council of Women, 1307 Chemical Building. The enroliment is in*charge of Mrs. Fanny Bonne; Price, chairman of the Employ- ment Committee of the Woman’s Coun- cil, one of the organizations enlisted in the nation-wide movement, headed by Mrs. Philip N. Moore of St. Louis, for registering 7,000,000 women in the coun- try's service. Mrs. Price says that the majority of those already registered here are wom- en of middle age, some of hem former school teachers and business women. They have volunteered mostly for cler- ical or office work, to fill the places of men called to the colors. Some enrolled as proficient motor car drivers. The older women wished mostly to serve in this city, but the younger ones stated their willingness to go wherever called, in this country or abroad. In addition to the individuals present- ing themselves at the office, Mrs. Price has sent out hundreds of enroliment blanks to the heads of the various women’s organizations in the city. Re- turns on these are not expected for two or three wecks. The registration is not for. immediate service, but is a preparedness measure, to enable the Government, in case of need, to know at once where to find the number of women required for any emergency that may arise. out that the Navy, an easier task if it had possessed a card index showing a roll of the skilled carpenters in the country.

The suit was for $33, the coat being alleged to be worth $25 and to contain a pair of silk gloves worth $1 and two silk shirt waists, valued at $7. Sincoff said that he checked the coat and his hat, and that half an hour later only the hat could be found. Roth testified he was not responsible because he let the checkroom privilege to Harry A. Stone. The latter declared that Sincoff checked only his hat. Justice McChesney held that an inn- keeper is responsible for his guests’ wearing apparel, but not for the con- tents of his pocket, “especially ladies’ shirt waists.”’ Will Take’ Farm Workers Census.

JOSEPH PULITZER. April 10, 1907. - —ũ— — n — 1 LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Patriotism, Vanity and Platinum. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: The Amercian Chemical Society, on behalf of the chemical manufacturers of the country, who are striving to provide our Government with its many necessities. and in behalf of those conduct- ing scientific research for the public good, ap- peal to the loyal women of the United States to refrain from purchasing platinum in the form of jewelry and to help discourage the use of this metal for ornamental or other unnecessary pur- poses, so that the limited supply of this precious metal may be made available for use where it can do the greatest good in the service of our beloved country. Few realize that the dictators of fashion have caused the price of platinum to advance within the past few years until today it is worth five times as much as gold. As a result of this mood of Dame Fashion, the chemical industries of our country are finding it exceedingly difficult to secure the supplies they need, while our Gov- ernment, as well as all chemical laboratories and institutions throughout the land, are greatly handicapped by its scarcity. Platinum is essen- ‘tial for producing sulphuric acid, which in its turn is an absolute necessity in the production of high explosives. The matter has become so serious that scien- tific and industrial advancement is suffering severely because of the lack of platinum and the almost prohibitive price to which its scarcity has given rise. Tt seems a shame. especially at this time, that personal vanity should prove such a handicap to the Government and that a mere frivolous fad should deprive chemists and manufacturers of the proper tools for the prosecution of the demands placed upon them. Tet us hope that every loyal American citizen will forego, for the time at least, the pleasure of purchasing that dull, lead-colored metal which, excépt for its intrinsic value, would hardly be considered a thing of beauty. \ ALLEN ROGERS. 11 Let Street Names Stand. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch. i thought Americans were of a higher standard, more broad-minded and intelligent, than to seek revenge On an innocent name. Did Berlin avenue or Bismarck street ever harm anyone? Let us guide our sentiments in the right direction and do all we can to help America first and last, but above all honor her. Let us not stoop to that Mireadful monster, malice, finding pleasure in re- venge. Let good be our motive and we can’t go wrong. A PATRIOT FOR GOOD. 4 Losing a Good Man. Wo the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It seems that Mayor Kiel recognizes the im- portance of the office of Director of Public Safe- ty, but that he fails to recognize the importance of the man who fills that position. I wish the Post- Dispatch, through the publicity it can focus on this point; would compel the Mayor to state ex- actly why he is ousting the most efficient man Who ever served this city, and is putting in his Place a politician of the spollsman tpye. Mr. Swingley is an honorable man, just and upright, and has the confidence and respect of all the peo- pie in a degree perhaps attained by no other man in all St. Louis’ history. He has worked hard and loyally for this city—-and never harder than the Jast four years. Now, just when he is in a posi- tion to reap the benefit of the last four years’ ork, he must resign and let a man who never 5 made a record for himself take credit. I can- t think the Post-Dispatch will allow Mr. Swin- eyes passing without some word of objection ‘without at least so far representing public —— ms to let the politicians know that it will not be forgotten.

While every one is advocating gardens on vacant lots in the city, what is worrying the suburbanite is not the aniount of gardens they make, but how. to protect them from the depredations of boys from the city. Scores of small boys are given carfare by their parents and sent to the country to enjoy themselves, which they proceed to do at the ex- pense of the farmers’ gardens and orchards.

Speaker Clark’s interview in opposition to the selective draft bill is unworthy of a high-school boy. Mr. Clark says the War Department is jumping around trying to ‘bulldoze the people into passing the bill.” Was there ever such silly nonsense out of the mouth of a public man! ‘The idea of the War Department bhulldozing“ Congress to pass a bill devised to meet the military need of the country in a great war crisis! The bill is the result of the combined knowledge and experience of the best experts on military affairs in the United States-— men educated and trained by the Government to advise the Government and to organize, train and command the armies of the nation. The bill is approved by the President as a measure necessary for the safety of the nation in the crisis with which he must deal with all the forces at his command. It is approved by his Cabinet. it is in accord with the opinions of the great American military leaders of the past and present; it is in accord with the lessons of experience and his- tory. If the War Department did not advise Congress with regard to military measures for national defense, who would? Mr. Clark speaks of fastening the disgrace of a draft” upon the flower and youth of the country. In his queer mind it is a “disgrace” for the people to lay upon themselves equally, Representatives, the obligation 46 country and to train for efficient defense. Wash- ington wanted to impose t ‘disgrace’ upon the people. Jefferson a cated it. Lincoln helped to fasten it on them. Grant insisted upon it and President Wilson approves it. | Why doesn’t Speaker Clark read the utterances of Washington, Jefferson and other fathers and leaders of American democracy on the subject of the draft as an equitable, honorable, democratic and the only reliable method of preparing for na- tional defense. Let him read Lincoln's letter justifying conscription. Is it better to adopt the selective draft as a wise democratic policy of defense or be forced to adopt it as a final measure of dire necessity when disaster comes? Speaker Clark’s constituents do not share his foolish view. They know better and have sounder judgment. He shares with Senator Stone the enthusiastic approval of the Westliche Post, the local organ pf pro-Germanism, and has won the distinction of leadership among the wild asses colts in Congress. = SO i A MEDAL FOR MR. WALCHER. Mr. Chester Walcher of St. Louig has discovered a highly effica®ious specific for the auto-stealing habit. His remedy is a bit severe, but if it be- comes generally adopted it will put auto-stealing in first rank among unpopular pastimes. It has all the wholesome curative properties of the vigilante method of preventing horse-stealing in the thriving days of the vigorous West. When somebody stole Mr. Walcher’s car, the other night, he got another machine and started in pursuit. Overhauling the fugitives, he ordered them to stop. When, instead, they stepped on the accelerator, Mr. Walcher leaned over and emptied a revolver at them, killing one and wounding another. Then he held two other men he sus- pected of complicity in the theft until the police came. The Auto Club should vote a medal to Mr. Walcher. = = * a * STANDARD OIL IN ITS OLD ROLE. The new charge that the Standard Oil Trust 18 responsible for the high price of gasoline is made by the Federal Trades Commission. Except so far as it relates to the particular high prices of a particular time, the report contains nothing novel. The public had been prepared for the reve- lation as to methods and results by its own ob- servation; by exhaustive inquiries in the two houses of Congress; by voluminous reports of the former Bureau of Corporations; by costly and protracted scrutiny of issues of fact in counts of various furisdictions. In spite of all the time and effort devoted to the problem in the past, Standard Oil continues its price-fixing, continues its remunerative ex- ploitation of the consumer. We were in little need of light on the facts. What we wanted was light as to solutions. What suggestion of value as to future policy can be drawn from the com- mission’s finding? Perhaps this is one of the questions the war will help us to settle. In guarding against war's extortions perhaps remedies will be devised that will serve us in time of peace. = = — oe ANTI-AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS. It seems that those of us who had hoped that the perils of actual war would bring to some of our German-language newspapers at least a de- cent tolerance for America’s side of the contro- versial matters in the great war are to be dis- appointed. There have been professions of loyal ty, of course. If we expected more, if we looked for somewhat of warmth—if we hoped for a new heart that could sympathize with us and a new mind that could understand the deep emotions which led us to throw our weight into the cause of democracy and oppressed peoples, perhaps we were over-optimistic. The Amerika, a St. Louis German-language daily, has taken a new opportunity to show us how greatly we were mistaken. In a recent edi- torial it accused the State Department of propa- ganda-making in permitting Brand Whitlock’s report of German atrocities in Belgium to become public. Although professing to “withhold judg- ment” in the whole Belgian matter, it does not hesitate to make a vicious, intemperate attack both on the report itself and on the personality of the man who made it. In Amerika’s eyes Brand Whitlock is “an ambi- tious adventurer, a politician, wooing the favor of the mob.” He has on occasion disclosed him- self as “an enemy of the Catholics.” His report is “the expose of a pamphleteer,” aud “reads as if some irresponsible newspaper reporter had com- posed it.” All is pictured impressionistically, aldressed themselves to tearing down a country or a people.” It will stagger every critically disposed reader,” but it is “very fitting for popu- lar consumption.“ One wonders if Amerika is really talking about the Brand Whitlock the rest of us know—of would wonder, if. there were not already so many evi- dences of the distorted vision of Amerika and others of ite kind whenever they look upon any- thing that has to do with. the German cause: One is lost in amazement at the working of a mind which can ‘‘withhold judgment” as it views with composure the ghastly tragedy of oppressed Belgium, its ruined towns, its destroyed fields, its enslaved civilians, its ravished women, its suppressed institutions, and yet at the same time can work itself into a frenzy of vituperation at a man who has merely given his testimony against the spoilers. This, too, when the oppressor is the avowed foe of the Government to which that mind owes allegiance and when thé oppression it- self is the principal source of the enmity which is between them. —— HELP FOR THE BLIND. Owing to gross mismanagement of the State's finances, Missouri has been compelled to abandon her blind poor for the present. From the stand- point of humanity, this is perhaps the worst re- sult of official extravagance and lack of fore- sight. Not only myst the adult*blind return to beg- ry, unless help is forthcoming, but even the prevention work, that might save the sight of the babies, must be abandoned. Such a situation is shocking and must not be permitted to continue. The published appeals for a fund to carry on the work for the indigent blind should meet with instant and generous re- sponse. Unless the money is forthcoming by the end of this month, the workshop where the blind were enabled to make a living and learn to be self-supporting must be closed for an indefinite period. Men and women who were performing a service in spite of their blindness will be pauper- ized. And babies who might be saved from life- long blindness will be put in danger, of suffering from that horror. St. Louis cannot afford to be known as a city which refuses help for her blind in such an emer- gency. = = — „ A new aT ES? slogan: No more Conquest! Peace Perpetual! A CONFESSED MURDERER GUILTLESS. Of two men who left St. Louis to look over a farm near De Soto, but one, Murel Drum, returned. When the arrival of the other, Elijah M. Minks, was delayed, Drum was questioned and made suspicious explanations. Taken into custody, he confessed to a quarrel with the missing man. Pressed further, he admitted striking his com- panion with a stick of cordwood. Detectives guided by Drum in handcuffs spent many hours in the general locality assigned as the scene of the alleged quarrel searching for the body he said he had covered up with brush and earth. They got back to St. Louis about the time the supposed dead man reappeared at his home. There had been no attack. There had not even been a quarrel. Minks had only improved the oppor- tunity to visit relatives. Certainly the mental status of a man capable of telling such a story as Drum told should be inquired into. But supposing that some accident had befallen Mink while he was away. Supposing that he had been delayed indefinitely by unex- pected happenings. With how much patience would the theory that Drum was a victim of men- tal aberration be received? How could the pre- sumption to which his own admissions gave rise have been combatted? Though laymen are often averse to crediting ti > conclusions of the legal textbooks as to the un- reliability of confessions, those conclusions are supported by a multitude of such cases. Unsub- stantiated confessions make poor testimony. =] " ö The action of the British in risking their own lives to save wounded German prisoners from a hospital ship torpedoed by the Prussians without warning is an act of reprisal that will illumine the pages of English history. . - = = = — ae ARMIES AND ADJECTIVES. When the withdrawal from the Somme was in full swing, the German press made what Uncle Remus would call a great miration about the “retreat of victory.” After. Nivelle had cuffed the Crown Prince around on the banks of the Aisne, smashing his lines, decimating his sol- diers, leveling his defenses, seizing his cannon, the Kaiser sent his son a nice letter compliment- ing him upon his triumph. These Teutonic writers would better be a bit spering of their adjectives. If they ran out about the same time the armies do, there will be noth- ing left but to telegraph Friend Romanoff for choice reservations at Tsarskoe-Selo. i, i i — —_ With Rhode Island, most conservative of all the Commonwealths,” now giving suffrage to women, surely the laggard states ought all to catch up before 1920. i A be i es A VIGILANTE.

Sign hunters who apply for the exclusive rights in a territory forget how much we all owe to our varying sense of humor. It is only when everybody - hunts that what interests and amuses us all is turned in. No. 2609, who wants the exclusive rights in Colorado, for instance, is chiefly amused by mis- placed apostrophes, such as Smith Bros., Grocer’s. This is, indeed, an amusing matter, but it does not wholly serve the purposes either of the man who is still laughing over Fresh Peez’’ or the lady who-is amused that one of her friends should ask one 80 ‘incapabf® of violence to Knock the Doorbell Out of Order..

All of which brings me to the relating of this little incident which really hap- pened the other night. At a dinner table some one mentioned Biank, whose recently organized chain of cheap stores have turned him from a petty shop-keeper into a millionaire. “Someone pointed out his wife to ma at the opera the other night,” said a beautiful and aristocratic woman scorn- fully. “She is the most dlatant ex- ample you ever saw of the new rich. Makes a display of her wealth that is vulgar. You should have seen her— fat and pudgy and middle-aged, but swathed in lace that had been the treas- ure of a queen and plastered over with diamonds and pearis until she looked like a jeweler’s display window. I amused myself by trying to compute the value of her costume and I esti- mated that she was worth about a million dollars as she sat there—which, I suppose, is about the way her hus- band would figure her up,“ added the woman, with a sneering little laugh. A man who had been listening to the bitter speech turned to the woman with an apologetic little bow. suppose,“ he said, that Mrs. Blank does overdress. I suppose the sight of a fat old woman, with her work-knot- ted hands covered with a King’s ran- som in jewels, is grotesque, but when I Mrs. Blank t in all her nery with a joy as artless ab a child’s a party, I don’t feel like laughing. feel like taking off my hat before the spectacle of something that is sacred and holy. “For I have known the Blanks for many years. I know their story. I know that her imported gowns, her $500 hats. her pigeon blood rubies and cabochen emeralds, her historic pearls and dia- monds are the realization of a man’s dream come true and his effort to pay back to a woman the sacrifices she has made for him. ' “When Blank and his wife were mar- ried they were as poor as poverty it- self. He was a $10-a-week clerk in a little East Side store, and they lived in two rooms and Mrs. Blank cooked his food and washed his clothes and walked the soles off her shoes hunting the places where you could buy food cheap- aS = By incredible economies they ied .othing more snobbish and un-American than the sneers that we hear continually directed at the new rich. Every new fortune, honestly won, is a new vindication of our It should fill us with joy that in this country of ours no man needs stay humble or poor if he has intelligence and energy and is willing to work, and we should have nothing but admiration fer the man who has had in himself the pluck and ability to achieve success. For while any fool or weakling maf inherit a fortune, it takes a man everyone instead of privileges to the to make one. Money talks when it It must needs be good until they got.enough money for Blank to buy a little interest in the store. He saw how the business could be built up and made more profitable, but it needed more money. He worked harder than ever and Mrs. Blank saved more pe- nuriously than ever, and they got the money and enlarged the store. “And so it went on year after year, unremitting toil, unending sacrifices of the desire. of the moment for the good of the end, and always Mrs. Blank doing her part and more, cheerfully and glad- ly and .uncomplainingly. Always she stood at Blank's back boosting him up the ladder, giving him fresh strength and fresh courage when his own wav- ered. “During all of these long, hard years their only amusement was to leave the dingy part of the town in which they lived and go shopping along the streets where the most fashionable and costly stores are. They never went in the stores. They just stood on the outside and looked at the things in the win- dows. Some day, Blank would say, “I am going to buy you a sable coat like this one.“ Or, Some day you shall have finer diamonds than any in this, window.“ Some day you shall go to this dressmaker and tell her to make you everything that you even think you want, because nothing in the world is going to be good enough for you.” „Finally Blank realized his ambitions He got his chain of stores started, and he’s made so much money he can't count it. And he has kept his word to his wife. But it isn’t love of vulgar display that makes him keep half a dozen auto- mobiles at her command. It's because he’s remembering the days she walked to save carfare. He isn’t trying to show off when he orders vintage champagne for her lunch at the most expensive re- taurant in town. It’s because he’s thinking of how she used to have to economize on the amount of coffee she put in the pot. He isn’t trying to advertise his wealth when he keeps a house full of servants to wait on her. He is remembering how those hands that he’s covered with jewels have toiled for him. “So I see only a tender romance in what you are pleased to call the osten- tatious parading of money by the new rich Blanks, and I imagine it's the story that lies behind the display of many another new-made millionaire at whom the world laughs. It’s just a man try- ing to give the woman he loves all the things he wanted her to have when he was poor and couldn't give them to her.“ Inc.) (eprusht. 1017. by Wheeler Sxnd.

Government Bureau reminded by specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture in a statement just is- sued of the methods by which econ- omy may be effected. In purchasing the cheaper and oft- en tougher cuts of meat instead of the choicer cuts, the statement says, a housewife is losing little, if any nutriment, provided, of course, the proportion of bone to meat is no greater than in the more costly kinds. A few typical recipes are given be- low as examples of the many dishes housewives may prepare with meat as the chief ingredient, especially Aena consumers of meat are rom the cheaper cuts of meat: BRAISED BEEF OR POT ROAST— Brown the meat on all surfaces, place in closely-covered kettle or other re- ceptacle with small quantity of water and flavoring vegetables, such as onion, carrot, etc., and cook until ten- der. Browning the meat helps to keep in the juices. The slow cooking in water and steam makes for tender- ness. 1 * SAVORY BEEF—Cut a pound of top round of beef into two-inch pieces and sprinkle with flour; fry a small piece of salt pork until light brown; add beef and fry for about 35 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover with water and simmer about two hours (fireless cooker may be used); season with salt and pepper or paprika. Serve with a sauce made as follows: Cook in water 2 minutes a cup of tomatoes, part of 4 stalk of celery, one-half onion, three whole cloves, three peppercorns and one blade of mace or a very little nutmeg. Rub through a sieve, add some of the gravy from the meat, thicken with flour moistened with cold water, and season with salt and paprika. Noodles, bolle 1 rice hominy, or chopped potatoes, car- rots and green peppers or other vege- tables in season, may be served on the same dish. CASSEROLE ROAST—(A cassercle may be improvised by using a heavy earthenware dish covered with a plate.) Brown round or rymp of beef in fat from a slice of fried pork. Place in cas- serole with chopped carrot, turnip. onion, celery, etc., around it. Add two cupfuls of water or stock, cover and cook in hot oven three hours, basting occasionally. STEW WITH DUMPLINGS—Make stew from small pieces of meat and vegetables, cooking it on stove or in | fireless cooker. Serve with dumplings made as follows: Fora stew using one pound of meat mix a little more than one-third cup flour with one teaspoonful of baking powder and a pinch of salt; work in a rounding teaspoonful of but- ter and mix with enough milk to form a medium stiff dough. Cut into smal! pieces and cook in a buttered steamer over a kettle of boiling water or re- move enough gravy from the stew to expose the meat and vegetables, and place the pieces of dough on these solid materials to cook. MEAT PIE—Meat pies are made most satisfactorily by first cooking the meat and vegetables as for a stew. Line a pan, earthenware dish, or casserole with biscuit dough rolled fairly thin, put in the meat, vegetables, and gravy, cover with dough, and bake in a hot oven. MEAT TURNOVERS. — Place anv chopped cooked meat available on cir- cles of biscuit dough about the size of a saucer. Fold the dough over the meat, crimp the edges, and bake in a hot oven. Vegetables may be combined with the meat filling as desired and the whole may be served with gravy. VEAL OR BEEF BIRDS.—Cut very thin meat into roughly rectangula pieces for individual servings. Place on each a stuffing of bread crumbs, sea- soned with chopped onions and other flavoring vegetables and herbs. Fold or roll up the meat and skewer in place with toothpicks. Brown the rolls in fat, remove and make gravy from the fat, flour and stock if available. Place the rolls in the gravy and cook slowly until tender in a covered baking dish, a steamer or a fireless cooker. Boiled Raisin Cake.

HE road to 7 economy for the majority of women lies in buying few gar- ments, selecting them wisely to ex- actly suit their opportunities, and wearing them every available mo- ment. Such a road is a difficult one for the bride, however, for she would like to shun economy altogether and in- dulge in some of the feminine fur belows her heart has craved before, but which she has not had the oppor- tunity to wear, or the resources to buy. And it is al- most impossible for a bride to deter- mine exactly her future social life and have gowns of a suitable character for all occasions. The best she can do is to conjecture and use her good judg- ment. A frock of the type shown today would be found useful for dressy afternoon affairs. Georgette crepe or fine French volle are suitable fabrics. Tan is an excellent color, almost un- versally becoming, practical and mod ish. In Georgette crepe or chiffon it could be combined with ecru lace and self color or dull blue satin, as sug- gested at the right.

This was very effective. A square cushion was covered with a similar material. This cover was made of one piece, cut in a large square with the four corners folded in toward the center. The seama, thus formed, were stitched together and covered with strips of a narrow braid. A large button, covered with the cre- tonne, finished off the central point where the seams met. Instead of using the fancy braid, crossway folds of the material could be used with a pleasing result. Another of the new cushions was tri- angular in form and looked comfortable This was edged about with a formal little plaitéd frill, not too full, of a solid color harmonizing with that predomi- nating in the cretonne cover. Other cretonnes, designed more es- pecially for the living rooms of country houses, show Japanese and Chinese scenes, gay with brightly clad little peo- ple riding in queer vehicles, crossing tiny bridges, or just standing about in picturesque spots. Another in soft, rich shades of brown is enlivened st frequent intervals by a brilllant orange-colored setting sun. A cretonne with broad, tapestry-like stripes in old blue, has a design of beautiful birds sitting in pairs on conventionalized baskets of flowers. As for curtains, simplicity seems to ve the dominating note. Plain white scrim cr muslin with neat, flat lace edges are offered to form a background for th. gay cretonne hangings. Dotted Swiss muslin is also popular, with scant little ruffles to finish «ff the edges. For those who prefer, there are more elaborate in white and ecru, with bed sets to match. To return to the simpler cur- tains, however, plain net, particularly the square meshed variety, is likely to prove popular, it is said, also the madras in both flowered and conven- tional design. This is preferred, for the most part, in plain white or cream, but there are a few patterns shown in which the flowers and leaves appear in colors, the softest possible yellow or pink or blue with grayish green leaves.

Prob- ably the earliest historical records of epistolary achievements are found in the days of the Egyptians under the Pharaohs and of the Greeks who wrote out their social or business communi- cations on blocks of stone or wood. But for the first letter writer of distinc- tion it is necessary to turn to the Book of Kings, where in chapter 21, verses 5 to 10, we are told how Queen Jezebel, wife of Ahab, wishing to compass the death of Naboth, wrote letters in Ahab’s name and sealed them with his seal and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city and that dwelt with Naboth,”’ these dig- nitaries suggesting a plot which ended in the death of Naboth by stoning. While letter writing in a somewhat crude and cumbrous form was practiced among the ancient Greek writers, there are, strangely enough, no existing ex- amples of the epistolary correspond- ence of Socrates and Xenophon, of Plato and Pythagoras. But of the cor- spondence between Cicero, the greatest and perhaps the most attractive of all letter writers, and his friend Atticus, there are 800 examples, all of which, in the purity and beauty of their orig- inal form or in the many translations, 1 * actual period of the beginning extant letters of the Roman period are those of Pliny and Seneca, all prolix, heavy and unutterably tedious. — The earliest English letter of which there appears to be any historic evi- dence is the charming note written by Matilda, wife of Henry I, to Arch- bishop Anselm, in which she styles him “worthily reverend lord,“ herself “the lowest of the han@maidens of his holiness.”’ Four centuries later another notable letter was written by an English Queen, the tender appeal of Anne Boleyn “froin her doleful prison in the Tower“ to Henry VIII. Letter writing in Europe, at first con- fined to royalties and nobles, gradually grew in custom and favor so that in the fifteenth century every city mer- chant or tradesman or his family—every one, indeed, above the rank of the masses, indulged in this form of cofa- munication. The art of letter writing is well de- fined by James Howell, who held that a true familiar letter is the art of ex- pressing one’s mind as if he were dis- coursing of the person to whom ne writes in succinct and strict terms. The eighteenth century, which gave little that is good or worthy, was at least remarkable in producing an ag- gregation of great letter writers: Hor- ace Walpole, forefmost in felicity of expression, heading an illustrious list which includes Gray, the author of the Elegy: Cowper, Chesterfield, Dorothy Os- borne, Lady Mary Wortley Montague, Lady Rachel Russell, Dr. Johnson, Richard Steele, Garrick and Swift, whose letters to his wife, Stella, pre- serve a stately Old World charm un- happily impossible in these days. Other famous eighteenth century let- ters are those of Jane Austen, Hannah More, Fanny Burney, Burns (always stilted and artificial), Laurence Sterne (weak and mawkish), Oliver Goldsmith and lastly William Cowper. Of the nineteenth century writers, Charles Lamb, each letter carrying the peculiar charm of his touch, worthily holds first place in a long line, including Dickens. Thackeray, Sidney Smith Leigh Hunt, Macaulay, Washington Irving, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thomas Carlyle, John Ruskin, Mrs. Carlyle and Edward Fitzgerald. France has in various periods given us such masterpieces of correspondence as those of La Rochefoucauld, Margaret t Valole, Voltaire, Mme. de Maintenon, Mme. du Deffand, Mme. de Sevigne, Mme.

Correspondence of the Pest-Disapatch. | LONDON, April 10.—The correspondent of The Times at headquarters of the Rumanian army writes that “for years the inhabitants of Northern Rumania have net seen such a rough winter a5 this,“ and adds that in the high moun-~ tains, where the troops are entrenched. the temperature for weeks has averaged from 2% to 4 degrees below freezinz point: In such circumstances one could not expect much activity from any army,” he proceeds. The enemy suffers as much as our troops, and the cases of deaths from cold in his army 4re much more frequent than in ours. t „As all initiative has thus been stop- ped, the two armies remain entrenched in the positions they succeeded in e- quiring in January, and are waiting pa- tiently for the Spring. In the first-line trenches one hears every 16 minutes @ shot fired nonchalantly by one of the half-frozen posts, and every second hour the whistling gf a shell let loose by an impatient gunner tired of the tranquility of the mountains. Were it not for the visit of the German aeroplanes on the clear days—visits welcomed with heavy but innocuous artille fire—one would certainly not guess that two hostile armies, in some places only some 100 yards apart. are facing each other. This forced quasi-armistice facilitates the quiet reorganizatiqn of the Rumanian army behind the first lines. “Gen. Averescu, with the chief of the General Staff, Gen. A. D. C. Pregan, ts certainly the most beloved General with the Rumanian troops. Their nominations as chiefs of the new Rumanian armies has been received with the greatest @at- isfaction in all circles in this country. They are the only army commanders who have made no mistake in the au- tumn campaign, and whose troops were compelled to retreat, not by the enemy, but by circumstances over which they themselves had no control. Gen. Avereseu's Discipline. “The strictness of Gen. Averescu is well known in hig army. There is no pardon for a coward, whoever he may be. I was present a few days ago at the execution of a wealthy young cavalry reserve officer. He retired his detach: ment from a position without reason or order; he was tried and shot four days later. If Gen. Averscu is strict with de- Unquents, the brave know that they will find in him their vest friend and pro- tector, His contact with the army under him is so close that he gets to know ot the smallest act of bravery, and rewards, as fas as possible pergonally, the man who hag done it. The commanders of the divisions are all young men. The greater part of the Generals who took part in the autumn campaign have been removed. Some have been pensioned, some given insignificant commands in towns and some tried. The new divisional commanders have given proof of their ability during the cam- paign, and some of them who had at the outbreak of war only the command of.a regiment successfully lead a division to- day. The same procedure has been used with the taff officers. Those who owed their situation only to seniority have been replaced by younger officers who have given proof of their capacity. Troops in Improved Spirits. “All these changes have had a whole- some effect on the spirit of the troopm who felt that they are led by worthy of- ficers. Naturally, there are to a certaip extent gaps among the junior officers. The reserve officers, however, among whom the necessary selection has been made after six months’ campaign, have proved themselves reliable leaders. “While groups of this army are in the trenches, other groups are behind to be reorganized. The new récruits, which have been drilled for several months, are brought and incorporated in the old units. Two or three weeks of war- drilling with the men of the old army are sufficient for the new recruits; and the units reformed in this way are sent to the front, to replace other groups which are brought behind the lines and reorganized in the same way. “If the conditions of reorganization of the new armies entitle us to see in bright colors the future spring cam- paign, it has also to be noted that Moldavia is certainly the poorest prov- ince of Rumanta. The fields are not nearly so rich as those of Wallachia, and the work not so ‘intensive.’ There is hardly any industry (a few oil fields) and no cattle breeding. Why Feed Diffieulty Kxiste. “All the land ‘belongs to great land- owners, and even in time of peace there vas always a scarcity of agricultural labor, and in order to fill the gaps the farmers had to bring workmen from the Bukovina. This year this acarcity has been felt more than ever owing to the war. “After the loss of Wallachia, the ma- jority of the inhabitants of Rumania, especially the townspeople, came to Moldavia. To the enormously population one must add the whole Ru- manian army, which hag to be fed, and part of the great Russian army which has arrived since October.

Extent of Injury to Cardinals’ Heavy Hitter Will Be Known This Afternoon. “PEP” POUNDS THE BALL Seveh Bases on Two Safe Drives His Record in Yester- day’s Contest. By W. J. O’Connor. Miller Huggins is loath to gloat over yesterday's convincing 2—1 con- quest over the Pirates until he is eminently satisfied today that Rogers Hornsby didn’t hurt his ankle in stabbing the plate when he trip- hammered a home run to center field in the fifth frame. ; Hornsby declined to siide and lunged the rubber on a play that was unusually close, barely spiking the outer edge. He turned his ankle elightly and limped through the re- mainder of the game, r offer of relief. The extent o his injury will not be known until he re- ports at Robison Field today. If Hornsby is forced out of the box score, yesterday's victory will prove costly beyond estimate. It was Hornsby’s tremendous hitting in the earlier rounds that made the Cardinal conquest possible in the tenth, when Cruise got to third on his single and an error and Jack Smith subsequently sified a single through short, scoring Walton. Seven Bases on 2 Hits. Hornsbw gave onother singular ex- hibition of swatting that indicated in a way the first division possibilities of the Cardinals. In the second in- ning he exploded a tremendous triple off the right field screen, only three feet short of a home run. He was crushed at the plate a moment later when Cruise failed to get the bali out of the infield. In the fifth frame, Hornsby reappeared at the plate and this time he was not to be denied, driving the ball beyond the farthest outposts for his third home run of the season. Fast fielding by that great gardener, Max Canarius, and @ great relay by Ward, almost nipped Rogers ~ the plate. To avoid efface- ment, he jumped for the rubber, slightly twisting his ankle. n his third trip to the plate he whipped a_ liner into right that Schulte priving him of another triple. And Hornsby was doing this while his 3 age were pathetically impotent with the stick. A youngster, Burleigh Grimes, had a tantalizing spitball 2 ing and snapping at the Cardinal bat - ters and, exclusive of Hornsby’s homeric Swats, only three dinky hits were made inst him in nine rounds. ut Hornsby carried the k. o. wallop and any club that contains such a kick as he lends to the middle of a batting — — will never be easily subdued. His loss, moreover, even for a week, will be a staggering blow to the gallant lit- tie army under Hug's a Vieing with Hornsby and Smith for the stellar honors yesterday was Leon Kalamity Ames, who pitched a whale of a game. Six hits and four walks Were the enemy’s grist of scoring pos- sibilities off Leon. He fanned four, one in a dire pinch in the tenth.

RTT The Westliche Post, German lauguage newspaper, today hails Speaker Clark's declaration against selective conscrip- tion as a valuable service to ‘he cause of democracy,” and proclaims its joy at the country’s good fortune that in this crisis there are still MEN, and not only men who run in herds.” “Whether Clark, as he supposes and as we are persuaded, really expresses the views of the majority of the nation, will not be inquired into further here,” says the editorial. In any case he has performed a valuable service to the cause of democracy in that he does not receive as gospel every word that comes from some official body, but makes his right to his own opinron count and thereby opposes a mighty dam to the autocratic trend which is tearing down every tradition like a flood, “In this ocnnection, the representatives of the State of Missouri in the Senate and House have displayed a far higher moral courage than most of their fellow members, although fully aware that their opponents would leave nothing un- done to destroy them politically. A government acting freely without bit or curb Must sooner or later develop into a despotism. “As for the rest, universal service can be democratic only if it is really univer- sal, and not dependent in its exercise upon the discretion of the authorities.” SATE: 17 7 unt Hit} Wee itt Affe be * aH e eee Renews Its Youth — instead of surrendering to age 0 5 he Four Seven Passenger Touring 121 inch wheelbase $1395 Closed Cars Four Coupe. . . $1650 Four Touring Sedan $1950 Four Limousine . $1950 All prices f. o. 6.

This mate- rial is being gathered in connection with further material for a history of the European war. „At our meeting in Washington,” Brookings said to a Post-Dispatch re- porter, we voted that the shortest way to accomplish the purpose of our or- ganization to bring about a cessation of war was to prosecute the present war against imperial Germany to a success- ful finish. „We also indorsed in every way the President's position with respect to the war against Germany ang the methods he recommended to bring about a suc- cessful issue in the shortest time. “We further voted $500,000 from the in- terest of our fund to be used for the restoration of the homes of those who most need help in Belgium, France and Lussia.’ “While we are a peace organiza- tion, we are not a pacifist organiza- tion,” Brookings added with empha- sis. “We do not want to become confused with the organizations that have Leen urging peace at any price. “As differentiating from what are ij known as pacifist organizations, the Carnegie Peace Foundation uses its income of $500,000 a year almost en- tirely far scientific purposes. For example, it is now gathering material on the other side looking to the pub- lication, of a history of the war, coupled with facts and scientific de- ductions, which, it is hoped, will be helpful when the democracies of the world meet to determine the condi- tions under which they can live in peace.” There are many notable men on the peace foundation, among them being Elihu Root, Joseph H. Choate and Charles W. Eliot. I. K. SKINKER CONDEMNS CLARK’S POSITION ON DRAFT Thomas K. Skinker, a St. Louis law- yer and owner of St. Louis County real estate, today sent to Speaker Clark of the House of Representatives a letter condemning Clark’s attitude in opposing the selective draft bill. Skinker has re- cently been prominent in his legal oppo- sition to the issuance and sale of bonds under the $3,000,000 bond issue passed by St. Louis County voters for road im- provement. Skinker's letter to the Speaker is as follows: “It is with inexpressible astonishment that I read in the newspapers that you are opposing conscription. Why in the world did you vote the country into war with Germany if the war is not to be supported? “If you want to know how things are going, come to St. Louis and look into the empty recruiting stations. Four or five a day is as many as can be gotten by the volunteer system to fill up the quota of the present organizations, let alone any new ones. At this rate it will te midsummer before even the First Regiment is full. “Why should my son and the 1200 oth- er true men, who today represent the whole military strength of St. Louis with her 800,000 people, be left alone to perform the needed military duties, as they have been doing for several weeks past? “Tens of thousands of young men of military age are following their usual avocations of keeping books, running elevators, running errands, selling news- papers in the afternoon, hanging around the poolrooms, dramshops, gambling houses and baseball parks, going to moving picture shows with their’ girls, dancing in the homes of the wealthy and doing a thousand other things just the same as if there was no war. These are the men whom, according to the newspaper accounts, you would save from the ‘disgrace of a draft.’ At the same time vou would allow the high spirited and honorable men, who do go in voluntarily, to be slaughtered. To me it is absolutely plain that the other class should bear their share of the slaugh- tering. They will never do it until they are forced to. “Tt hope, Mr. Clark, vou will drop this Fourth of July talk and vote to support the war that you have helped to de- Clare. Invest in U. S.

BROOKINGS SAYS) defacing posters and other advertising| N 3 5 1 Chalmers J. Passenger Touring Car—Price $1350 Detroit halmers Sensational Run Sets New Motor Car Standard A Chalmers on March 26-27 bet a new high mark in motor car history. On that date was established a standard in city traffic performance that promises toendure. To cover 586.8 miles through dense Chicago traffic in 24 hours is no mean feat. To do it with a stock 7-passenger touring car, carrying 4 pas- sengers, on high gear only, without motor stop} and making 14 miles to the gallon of fuel is a superlative performance. Chalmers accomplished the feat with case. It did it because of the quality of its motor, the excellence of its design, the thoroughness with which it is built. Thus is proven the flexibility that a motor car owner of today demands. Thus is insured that economy that ap- peals in this day of high cost of gasoline. Thus is demonstrated the ability of a builder like Chal- mers to produce a car of surper- lative merit at a price far below what is necessarily asked by manufacturers of a limited out- put. The conclusion is inevitable—Buy a Chalmers on: Touring Car, 7-pessenger . $1350 Touring Sedan, 7-passenger . $1850 f-passenges 4 » $2550 Tauring Car, 5- 2350 Limousine; passenger . 1250 Roadster, 3-passenger . . 1250 Town Car, 7-passenge? « +s (All prices t 6. b.

They D nearly always turn out to be very different from what you think they are going to be before you find out that they are otherwise than what you expected them to be. Joseph Hudson breakfasted alone while his wife sat opposite him at the table. Her attempt at keeping him company was confined to sipping a cupful of hot water in minute doges, either time or size. The water may have been for health or it may have been for defense; im these days we cannot tell what form preparedness may take. As usual, he growled over his meal. A poached egg on toast lay on his plate. He prodded the toast viciously with his fork. ““What kind of a toothless old woman do you think I am? Can't you serve an egg without getting the toast soaked with water? Don’t you think I have teeth?” 1 know you have hon,” she purred, “but your bark is always worse than your bite, so your teeth may be soft from disuse."’ | “If my teeth were as soft as your head Id feed on a bottle.“ “Don't you?“ . A piece of crust stuck in his throat and he made some inarticulate sounds be- fore he managed to say, If I couldn't cook any better than you do I'd learn to mend socks.“ His wife was &ccustomed to his flat- tery and her head had not been turned by it, so no flush of modesty dimmed the color of her cheeks. When he returned that evening he found the house silent and deserted. To make sure he called loudly, “Helen, are you up there?” but no answer came. H+ went into the kitchen and there, in full view on the table, he saw a note in his wife's handwriting. It had evidently been written hurriedly and had no head- ing or signature. For a moment his heart behaved very queerly. “Bister Ella telephoned she would be in the city for a couple of hours between trains on her way to Kan- gas City and I have gone downtown to meet her.” He threw the paper down angrily. Dern the luck, I'm as hungry as a bear and no supper here. 1. remembered her remark at the breakfast table, “She did it on pur- pose, but I'll show her.” He rummaged in the ice box, but all the food it contained was in a raw state. He gritted his teeth. “I'll show her,” he muttered again. He pared a couple of potatoes by cutting strips a quarter of an inch thick from them with his penknife, and he yanked a slice of ham from the ice box so vigorously that he up- get the milk, which would have been scalded if it had gone where he sug- gested. A rapid search of the kitchen for cooking utensils ended in a lit- ter of cake tins, jelly molds and other useless junk upon the floor. He was mot sure what kind of a thing he needed, but he finally selected a walrfie iron for it suggested the marks he had often seen on well- cooked steaks at his favorite restau- rant. The potatoes he sliced into the tin lid of a double boiler, ond it nev- er occurred ti hom that any lard was mecessary. The flame cf the gas full, the fat on the ham caught fire and he had to blow it out so often that he nearly lost his breath. and completely lost his temper. The tin lid grew red hot and the potatoes Sputtered and burned to thick, hard chunks. Finally, exhausted with the heat, breathless from his efforts, full of self pity and invoking blessings upon his absent wife, he turned out the gas, procured a plate, knife and fork and sat down to eat. He had forgotten -his hitherto indispensable coffee, the milk was spilled, so water had to be his only beverage. The ham, except for the burnt edges, was practically raw and the potatoes were fit only for a rock crusher, but he devoured every scrap so as to leave no telltale fragments for his wife to find. When she came home he had cooked. As he sat down his glass, after the t mouthful was finished, his eye ught his wife's note on the table, where he had thrown it in his anger. He gave a start as he noted a couple of words. She had written on both THOSE DESCRIPTIVE CLASSICAL DANCES THAT SO FEW - — — ; 2 * ce ass 4s 3 be pees i * — ae FN 6 Sie, Atos!

NCE upon a time there lived in @ far-off country two great Kings, who were neighbcrs and very friendly. The land of one Was a lovely bit of hilly country, covered with forests and grass, on which fed vast herds of cattle and horses, while the other King owned great gold mines, but they were far the desert, and no one could there on account of the miles ng sands. day the King of the hilly coun- name was Avel, went to edge of the desert to visit the country, whose was Rudo. Avel took with 6 magician, a court fool and his animals of all kinds, for he was fond t traveling with everything he loved. . were dogs, monkeys, birds and much every kind of animal 8 i lay sleeping, the horse stole out of his. lees and walked about among the other animals. With a sneer he looked at their sleeping forms. Pres- ently he stumbled on the court jester, and that person sat up ribbing his eyes. “Your poor fool, why do you spend your life in making jests for the King?” laughed the horse. “Look at me. I am strong and beautiful.” This boasting made the sleepy jester angry, but he did not show it, Yet he determined to have his revenge, if possible, on this silly, vain horse. “You may be strong and handsome,” replied the jester, but there is room for much improvement in you yet. You would be much better if your nose were long, if you had a natural saddle on your back, if your legs were long and if your short hair were shaggy and wonderful golden water and make you just what you wish. It is only for a trial.“ “I really think I am very beautiful as I am,” replied the horse. I have a fine home. How sad it must be for those. horses of King Rudo that have to travel on sand and carry their water! If I were trying changes I would like to have soft feet and a big stomach to store water, so I would be. an improvement ‘on all animals I know.” ‘ “Oh! that’s easy, said the jester, as he danced away, shaking his bells in his wicked glee. Just wait a bit till I come back and I will fix you all right. Fou will be the envy of an the rest of the animals belonging to the King.“ In a short time the jester returned with a small vial filled with a golden fluid. “If I pour this on you as you wish for what you desire your plea will be granted,” said the jester. “All right,” replied the horse. “I will try it once just to see how I will look; it can't do any harm.“ 80 the tricky jester poured out on the horse the magic water while the horse made his wishes.
