James M. Haven, doctor: The people should first be given a chance to show their loyalty in a crisis by continuing the volunteer system until it has proved itself to be an absolute failure.“ Fred Frutiger, salesman: Conscrip- tion is the only way to get soldiers now, as it looks as if enough volun- teers will not be recruited in another year. I believe our young men are shirking, and the only thing to wake them up is conscription. Al Wi janitor: We should profit by England's experience, and start con- scripting men at once. The volunteer system will prove to be à failure here, Louls Held, stationary: engineer: The volunteer system slwuld be tried until it proves to be a failure, then conscrip- tion should begin. In times like these, men who refuse to work should be drafted into the army, as they are a burden on the country. William L. Smith, retail shoe busi- ness: The volunteer system seems to be a failure, so I think conscription is the only way to raise an army. Our boys are not cowards, but they do not think there is any danger. The draft will wake tuem up. of Raising Great Army” AYOR KIEL, when asked by VN a Post-Dispatch reporter whether he favored sqective conscription or the volunteer sys- tem for raising a great American army and what he would have his Congressman and Senators do, said: J have not given much thought to the methods by which the army should be raised. My policy is to advocate whatever the President and the War Department desires. I have no advice to give to the Congressmen as to how they should vote.“ violates the principles of f[frea.3m granted us in the Constitution. The drafting of men is not conducive to har- mony in the country. I believe the peo- ple themselves should decide such a question dealing with them and should be given a vote in the matter.” John Braun, machinist: “I favor con- scription, as it seems to be the only way to get our young men into the army. All other countries have big armies. It is dangerous for us to delay longer.“ | At Entrance of Federal Building. J. M. Wiils, clerk, McAlester, Ok: I think that we ought to try the volun- teer system first. The public does not think that men are so greatly in need that conscription should be resorted to as yet. Senators and Congressmen should vote this.way first. James Johnson, conductor, 5637 Hor- ton: I am against the draft system, and Representatives of Congress should vote the sentiment of the people. . Walter B. Stevens, farmer, Burdick, Kan.: Conscription does not agree with the spirit of the country, but it is the The other commissioners have not been agreed on, but the name of Charles R. Crane of Chicago, a friend and un- official adviser of the President, has been mentioned. The mission is admit- tedly going on a tremendously difficult and important mission and its personnel is being selected with great care. It is considered likely that some big men in the railroad industry of the United States will be on the mission, to assist in reorganizing Russia’s trans- portation system. FIVE CHICAGO HOTELS TO MAKE EACH FRIDAY MEATLESS DAY Downtown Clubs sdb Cur- tailment of Use of Meat and of General Menus. CHICAGO, April 26.—Five of the big hotels have decided to have one meat- less day a week. Alluring substitutes will be placed on the menu. Friday will be the no-meat.day. All clubs in the @owntown district have under consideration not only a meatiess day but a general curtailment of the menus. The University Club nas already been placed on a conservative basis. Cur- tailment of the menus went into effect last Friday. The rules in effect have eliminated all expensive dishes, and only one side order of vegetables is served, as compared to three or four formerly served with meat orders. As a result of this program, the University Club has saved one-third of the flour formerly used and one-fourth of the potatoes. ‘MIDGET MELBA” OF STAGE DIES “can compensate for failing at sea.” “The whole allied cause is im- perilled, the paper concludes, ‘as long as the losses at sea exceed tne pro- duction of new ships. It is useless to lean on America, anticipating that she will solve our problem. America will assist, but nothing she can do will save us from the consequences of a lack of effort on our part.“ The Post although undefeated, is, as far as the submarine war is concerned, useless. “British sea power, comments the Post, “as understood prior to the war no longer exists.“ The newspapers in general remark on the obvious connection between the an- nouncement of the losses through sus marines and the warning issued by Lord Devonport in respect to food re- strictions. The Times demands the speedy adoption of rationing. Statement in Detail. The weekly statement of vessels aun as made public last evening shows.

Francis, of St. Louis, Ambas- gador to Russia, is denounced in today’s issue of Die Amerika, German language newspaper, for telling the Russians that Prussian militarism is doomed, and that the liberty-loving Germans will soon be freed as the Russians themselves were liberated. Well,“ says the editorial, every man disgraces himself as best he can, and as long as we send men to ambassadorial posts principally because they have money, we must not be surprised if they express views which remind one of __Faust’s saying concerning the rubbish- tub and the lumber-room. “A Bancroft, Notley, Lowell or White would indeed in similar circumstances have said something obliging to the Russians, something that the present holders of power could use for their ends, but they would not have uttered uch dreary trash, which has been chewed and rechewed until it excites nausea. But these men represented the old Gemocratic America; Mr. Francis on the contrary is the representative of the new class-state, in which the pluto- cracy wields the predominant in- fluence.” AUSTRIAN PARLIAMENT 10 BE CONVOKED FOR MAY 30 Body Has Not Been in Session Since Before the War—Prospect of a Stormy Session. VIENNA, via London, April 26.—Offi- cial announcement was made heer today that the Austrian Government had de- cided to convoke Farliament for May 30 to deal with questions of food supplies and with “econoniic, social and financial problems.“ The Austrian Parliament has not been in session since before the war.

Ac- cording to unofficial dispatches from Vienna the Government delayed action on account of the prospect of a stormy session.

FRENCH MISSION MAKES SERIES OF CALLS AT CAPITAL Continued From Page One. of the State, War and Navy Building, Marshal Joffre, despite his age and weight, ran up lightly and left his com- panions trailing after him. Marshal Joffre and Admiral Choche- prat returned to the building to pay Calls on the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy. The reappear- ance of the Marshal was marked by a reception no less vociferous than the one a few minutes before. For the vic- tor of the Marne was reserved a shout each time he came in sight. The high voices of the women clerks always led the cheering. Meantime subordinate members of tne commission are holding preliminary con- ferences with American naval, military and financial representatives. The day’s activities are to be brought to a close with a dinner at the White House by President Wilson in honor of the Frenchmen. Secret service cperatives and police in plain clothes are stationed at the various places visited by the Frenchmen, while a detachment of soldiers remains con- stantly on guard at their place of resi- dence. The British War Mission, headed by Foreign Minister Balfour, held prelim- inary meetings today with Government officials in preparation for the joint con- ferences among the American, British and French representatives which begin tomorrow: Arrival at Washiugton. ‘The leading members of the French mission, coming up from Hampton Roads aboard the presidential yacht Mayflower, yesterday had their first view of the national capital from a point on the Potomac River below Alex- andria, soon after Mount Vernon had been passed. ‘ When the Mayflower came abreast of the home of the first President the ma- rine band played the Star Spangled Banner and the Frenchmen lined the rails with heads bared and stood at at- tention. At Alexandria, rich in his- toric memoires, the commission saluted hundreds of persons who lined the river front wharves, waving their hats and cheering, | while factory whistles shrieked a noisy welcome. The party was received at the navy yard by a group of American officials headed by Secretary Lansing. The Seo- retary led the ceremony by shaking hands first with M. Viviani and, Mar- shal Joffre, and then with the other of- ficers. The greeting was more than a mere perfunctory diplomatic affair. With the yacht’s band playing the Mar- elllaise, and the marine guard on shore standing at attention, there was real warmth in the handshakes and the ‘earnestness of genuine feeling in the words of welcome. Ashore the party entered motor cars and drove across the city to the Henry White residence, where its members are to be entertained during their stay here. Clerks in the Government departments had been given permission to leave their desks to join in welcoming the visitors, schools had been dismissed and resi- dents from all over Washington flocked to the streets.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, April 26.—There has been a comparitive lull in the fighting east of Arras in the last 24 hours, the Ger- man counter attacks in the effort to retake the positions captured by the British in Monday’s push having worn themselves out. After each of these attacking waves had been thrown back the British managed to creep forward still farther. Heavily overcast skies are giving the German airmen a brief respite from British aerial attacks, enabling them to make efforts to reorganize their badly damaged squadrons; for in four days fighting the British have accounted for nearly 100 enemy ma- chines. The British tactics had pro- voked the Germans into heavy fight- ing but clouds gathered yesterday and today also the skies are overcast. In consequence, the airplane hunt is restricted. oe, German Balloons Timid. Owing to the heavy inroads made by British airmen, the German kite bal- loons are extremely timid these days, although the Germans depend mostly on them for artillery observation. They seldom attempt overhead observation with airplanes. The only air craft seen on this side of the line are fast fighting scouts which attempt raids and scurry home again in the clouds. One German balloon which was set adrift yesterday landed within the British lines. Stories of the German counter-attacks —there have been eight separate at- tempts to capture Gavrelle since Mon- day evening—tell of almost incredible tactics employed by the Germans in sending forward troops in mass forma- tion, giving the British artillery the greatest opportunity for open target shooting it has had in the last two years. Several thousand gray-clad Germans were advancing in one of these attack late Tuesday when the British curtain of fire shut down in front of them. Still other British guns fired stright through the curtain on the advancing men. Nat a man passed beyond that curtain, and when its obscuring smoke lifted there was not a moving German in sight. Nothing gas to be seen but plowed ground littered with sprawling dead. Rum Cart Destroyed. One British regiment has a particuiar grievance against the Germans. The night before the attack a stray Gegman shell landed direct on the regimenta: rum cart, destroying 68 gallons. Some of the men who had been sleeping and fighting in the open for three days were deprived of their “tots,” which are usu- ally distributed before dawn. Thera were several ammunition dumps near by which might nave been hit by the shell, but as luck would have it, the rum cart was the mark. — 0 ing the afternoon, quietly enjoying Washington in its springtime garb. He was greatly gratified at the cordiality of the public reception, and to friends remarked that he was especially de- lighted to have seen s0 many school children among the crowds. Marshal Joffre spent yesterday after- noon motoring through Rock Creek Park at the edge of the city. The Marquis de Chambrun, grandson of Gen. Lafayette, called upon several old friends. Meanwhile the five staff officers and technical experts, who left Fortress Monroe by train in the morning, had ar- rived and gone to a hotel. The eniire party dined later at the White home. No plans for the members of the com- mission to visit other cities of the Unit- ed States have vet been made. It is re- garded as probable, however, that sev- eral trips may be made before the party returns to France. Quiet Day for Britons. Yesterday was an eventful day for the British commissioners, who had awai*- ed the arzival of the French Commis. sion, but it was marked by the delivery to Ambassador Spring-Rice of Amer! cas first loan to the allies, $200,000,000. While the British visitors devoted most of the day to honoring the French mis- sion, they found time to complete de- tails of organisation in preparation fo: the joint conference soon to begin, now that the representatives of France have arrived. Mr. Balfour lunched with the Italian Ambassador, called on Secretary Me- Adoo and was. entertained at dinner at the British Embassy, ‘where a recen- tion attended by the diplomatic corps and 2324 officials followed. ‘The Minister recefved the newspaper men during the day at the residence, where he is entertaind as the guest o fthe nation.

TRADES” U “Why Not Let Rumania Foot War Bill?“ One Idea in German Mind. By CYRIL BROWN of the Post- . 22 1 World. (Copyright, 1917, by Press Pub. Co.) COPENHAGEN, Denmark, April 26.— Grand Vizier Talaat Pasha's visit to Berlin and to the Kaiser at headquar- ters, while ostensibly a polite formality to return thanks personally for the Order of the Black Eagle, is really of the highest political importance. Behind Talaat’s visit and other sig- nificant odds and ends of news emanat- ing from the central Powers, one is justified in seeing a continued puzzled striving and German groping for the answer to the riddle of the revolution- ary Russian Sphinx. How to exploit the still far-from-clear situation in Russia is pre-occupying the highest German military and political circles. How Russia can best be in- duced to serve as ua stepping stone to | world peace continues to be a puzzling question to the Teutonic allies. No Definite Decision. No definite decision appears to have been reached as to whether it would be better to adopt a policy of watchful waiting toward Russta, in hope that it will lapse into a state of military in- nocuous desuetude, or whether Russian public opinion might not be accelerated in the direction of peace by the judi- cious making of (from the viewpoint of the central Powers) highly favor- able and even generous peace proposals. That the advisability of making con- crete proposals to Russia in the not dis- tant future, if not now, is being seri- ously discussed, is confirmed by Talaat’s visit, the specific purpose of which is largely to agree on concrete proposals to Russia as soon as the favorable mo- ment is felt to have come. The combinations being discussed in German political circles all have one fea- ture in common; an earnest attempt to frame up a bargain in peace for Russia, involving no actual gain or loss of ter- ritory for either side, but at most cer- tain mutual annexations or compelsa- tory tradings. Since the revolution the talk of an- nexing Poland has vanished, while the proclaiming of the Kingdom of Poland is seen to have been premature. Less Talk of Annexation. There is much less talk of wanting to keep Courland and Lithuania, while no annexation of Russia territory is now fully recognized to be an essential postu- late to permanent peace with Russia. These negative concessions may be ex- pected to be made more attractive to Russia by the addition of the prospect of certain positive compensations for Rus- sian peace and friendship. An autonomous Armenia would not be without the realm of probability at pres- ent and an autonomous Polish state as an integral part of the new United States of Russia would not be looked upon with disfavor by most thinking Germans. A further grant of autonomy to the Slavs of the Dual Monarchy may be made as evidence of the good faith of the Central Powers’ professions re- garding the principle of nationality. 9 Other Induce ments. As a further positive inducement to Russia, one may expect the Cen- tral Powers to affect a demonstra- tively benevolent attitude toward ex- tending Russia’s sphere of influence in Persia, gently calling Russia's at- tention to the attractive possibility of an outlet to the Persian Gulf if Russia will only give up for all time its thought of getting hold of Con- Stantinople and the Dardanelles. And, lastly, “why not let Roumania foot the war bill?” is a thought which appeals strongly to the Teutonic al- lies, and which may well be expec- ted to be brought to Russia’s notice in some form or other. As soon as the concrete results of Talaat Pasha's visit to the Kaiser’s headquarters come out, the more specific lines of the Central Powers’ peaceful advances to Russia should be discernible with considerable clear- ness Southern Railway lasues Beautifal Folder on “Land of the Sky.” Land of the Sky“ is the title of a folder, beautifully inustrated in colors, which has been issued by the Southern Railway to describe the mountain regio of Western North Carolina. : Asheville is the center of this region, whichis yearly becoming more frequent- ed by tourists, and around it lle the “Sapphire Country.“ Mounts Pisgah, Mitchell and Toxaway, and a number of beautiful lakes.

AN OPPONENT He Attacks Fotced Service Pro- posal in Hour’s Speech; Reed Speaks Against It Also. CLARK WASHINGTON, April %.—A canvass of the House membership to ascertain sentiment regarding the administration bill providing, for the raising of an army by selective draft caused renewed confidence today among champions of the measure that it would be passed by the House by a safe majority. This feeling prevailed despite the encqurage- ment given to the opponents of the bill by Speaker Clark’s speech yesterday in opposition to the draft system. Senate leaders are wholly confident of the bill's passage there. The House canvass made by friends of the bill disclosed, it is stated, a majori- ty of from 60 to 70 in favor of the meas- ure. a Debate on the bill continued in both houses today. Leaders figured on reacn- ing a vote by Saturday at the latest. Clark Speaks Over an Hour. Speaker Clark epoke for more than an hour yesterday. Most of the House membership and many Senators heard him plead in characteristic fashion that the volunteer system be tried again. “I protest with all my heart, and mind and soul,” he shouted, “against having the slur of being a conscript being placed upon the men of Missouri. So far as Missourians are concerned, there is precious little difference be- tween 4 conscript and a convict.” The Speaker made a defense of Con- gressmen who in the face of attack have stood by the volunteer plan. “For several years,“ the Speaker said, there has been a systematic effort in Congress, in many newspapers, by some public speakers, and in sundry maga- zines, to belittle, deprecate and minimize the American volunteer. I resent such performance in the name of living and the dead—in the name of the brave men who gave us our freedom and who have maintained it—in the name of the volun- teers who have shed imperishable luster upon Americans arms and upon the American republic. The volunteer has done most of our fighting. “Under young George Washington he saved the remnants of Braddock's army from destruction. In the French and Indian War he fought side by side with the British regulars. From the day the Minute men fired the shot heard round the world down to the last shot in the Spanish-American war, the Amer- ican volunteer has been a very present help in every time of trouble. “If this stupendous war continues long, conscription may become neces- sary, but in the light of history of En- glish-speaking people we contend that it is not necessary now. Conscription has always been repugnant to men of our blood. “Why do gentlemen doubt the cour- age and the patriotism of the present generation of Americans? There is not a scintilla of evidence that we are a race of cowards or mollycoddles. As for myself, I love to think well of my countrymen.”’ Speaker Clark in conclusion announced that his son, Bennett Clark, the House parliamentarian, was going into the army “in any capacity in which he can be useful, either as an officer or a pri- vate. a J hope and pray,“ said he, that he may go into battle not by the side of the slackers and loafers who the advo- cates of this bill say they desire to reach, but shoulder to shoulder with free men who serve gladly—willingly— to fight for the honor, the safety and the perpetuity of this republic.“ Watterson Telegram Read. Representative Sherley of Kentucky, who replied to Speaker Clark, read a telegram Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier Journal had sent the speaker, declaring the volunteer system was as much a relic of the past as the stage coach, and that his vote against conscription would weaken his useful- ness to thé country. Representative Meeker of Missouri, speaking for the draft, said that thou- sands of men who had come into serv- ice in haphazard way through a volun- teer system in the European war had gone to unnecessary death. He favored drafting men from A to 50 and exempt- ing men under 21, Debate in the Senate. Senators Heed, Vardaman and Sher- man were the speakers on the Senate side yesterday. All three opposed the selective draft and upheld the volunter system. Senator Reed spoke for nearly four hours and attacked the bill tn al- most every detal!. Senator Vardaman said he would never vote for compulsion until he had been shown that the volun- teer system would not work. He criti- cised the pending bill ag another exhi- bition of the tendency to get away from the principles of democracy. Telegrams from several State Adju- tants declaring the War Department would not permit increasing the na- tional guard units were read by Senator Reed. “Recruiting going on at the rate of 2000 a day for the regular army,“ he said, makes it plain that there will be no difficulty in securing all the troops wanted by volunteering, and this in t face of all-the Government has done t F n 8 af, * = 4 ie LS Pei — * ~ . ~ * * 5 . 4 . . - ; R * ae hh og Ss eg, eee ’ i 727 r 7 ess - * 1 Ba x - 7 2 * .

PIAINS STORY FSG UAH de Says He Saw Periscope of Craft Shattered by First Shots From Naval Guns. LONDON, April 26.—How naval gun- sers on board the American steamship Wongolia are alleged to have sunk a U- at- about to attack in British waters yn April 19, was told here yesterday oy Tapt. Rice on the arrival of his vessel it a British port. He said that oil was seen on the surface of the water after the submarine disappeared. The Mongolia was going at full speed ind was a long distance away when the spray 2nd foam subsided, but from he bridge the officers observed the spot through their glasses and they are con- dent the submarine was sunk. The periscope was sighted dead ahead zn the last afternoon of the voyage. The captain gave the order for full speed ahead with the intention of ram- ning the submarine. ‘The periscope disappeared and a few minutes later reappeared on the ship’s broadside. The gunners fired, hitting the periscope squarely. Capt. Rice paid a high tribute to the gunners and especially to the manner in which they were handled by the officers who directed the firing of the telling shot. Big Lookout Force on Duty. “Bor five days and nights, said Capt. Rice, “I hadn’t had my clothes off and we kept a big force of lookouts on duty all the time. It was 5:20 o’clock in the afternoon of the 19th that we sighted the submarine. The commanding office! of the gunners was on the bridge where, in fact, we had been the most of the time throughout the voyage. “There was a haze over the, sea at the time. We had just taken a sounding, for we were getting near shallow water and we were looking at the lead when the first mate cried: There's a submarine off the port bow.’ The submarine was close to us, too close in fact, for her purpose, and she was submerging again m order to maneuver in a better posi- tion for torpedoing us. “We saw the periscope go down and the swirl of the water. I quickly ordered a man at the wheel to pull it to star- board and we swung the nose of the ship toward the spot where the submarine had been seen. We were going at full speed ahead and two minutes after we kirst sighted the U-boat emerge again about 1000 yards off. Its intention prob- _ ably had been to catch us broadside on, but when it appeared we had the stern : full on it. 11 — — —̃ — remembered that the whole affair took only two minutes. assure you we did not stop to re- connoiter after the incident, but steamed away at full speed, for it was not im- probable that there was another sub- marine about. The one I got undoubt- edly had been lying on the bottom at this point waiting for our ship, and came up when it heard our propellers. I immediately sent a wireless stating that a submarine had been seen.” GERMAN PAPERS CENSORED BEFORE LEAVING THE COUNTRY Demand in Reichstag Committee In- dicates Explosive Production Is Not Satisfactory. COPENHAGEN, via London, April 28. —The protests of a Socialist represen- tative in the Reichstag Committee yes- terday called attention for the first time to the fact that German newspapers must now submit to a preliminary cen- sorship before being permitted to leave the country. For some time the radical Socialist newspapers have been marked- ly behind other publications in the time of their delivery here. The authorities have evidently resorted to this means to block the channel through which dis- agreeable news and discussions have reached foreign ears. At the same meeting of the Reichstag committee, which was devoted to mili- tary questions, it was indicated that all is not satisfactory in the manufacture of explosives. Deputy Gothein demand- ed information as to the status of the production of explosives and criticised as inadequate a confidential report of the Minister of War on the military sit- uation in the west.

The best way to describe a, French tank, the Post-Dispatch has been in- formed," is to compare it with a giant hog, kneeling so that its short legs can- mot be seen and creeping forward as it roots in the ground. A rain of, lead pours from its sides as it proceeds, and heavier shot and shell dre showered upon any position where chine guns of the Germans may re- in in action and it straddles the ene- ay trench.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. PORT ARTHUR, Tex., April \26.—It has been demonstrated by the European war that crude petroleum and its re- fined products play almost as important a part as the big guns and munitions. Since the destruction of the Rumanian oll fields there has been an enormous increase in the export of this product from the Texas and Mexico producing fields. To provide for the transportation of the oil it has been necessary for all of the companies to make large additions to their tank steamer fleets. In the last two years orders have been placed with American ship. builders for the building of more than 100 new oil tank steamers. The cost of each is approximately $1,- 000,000. Of these, 26 have been launched and 61 are scheduled to be finished this year. The remainder will not be com- pleted and put into commission until next year. é It is stated by the larger producing, refining and marketing oil companies of Texas that in the next 18 months or two years there will be far more oil tank steamers under American registry than under the registry of any other nation. At the beginning of the war the British had the lead in registered steamers of this character. Bigger Fleets Needed. Of the companies engaged in export- ing Texas and Mexico petroleum the Mexican Petroleum Co. and the Texas Co. are spending the largest sums of money for enlarging their fleets. The Mexican Petroleum Co. has just placed in service four new vessels and con- struction is in progress on 10 others. The Texas Co. is operating a large ship yard at Bath, Me., where it now has under construction 12 new tank steam- ers. It is also building five large towing boats for tse in its transatlantic fleet. The Standard Oil Co. operates a large number of tank steamers out of Tam- pico, Mexico, and Port Arthur. It has added largely to its fleet in the last year by purchasing English steamers of this character and transferring them to American registry. Tank steamers now are of a far dif- ferent type from those in the service a few years ago. The Ordinary conception of an oil tank steamer by the average layman is that it is a small, dirty, in- secure and insignificant craft. Quite ths contrary is true. The Texas of the Texas Co.'s fleet is 40 feet long over all, 56-foot beam, 32 feet 9 inches deep and has two continuous steel decks, raised forecastle, bridge and ——— SE LEET ALLELE EE a ũ —— — —— — If you are not ready to buy a Grand Piano or Player Piano Rent a Piano We rent brand-new, reliable Uprights, in all woods, for Per Month One year’s rent credited on future purchase.

The plays are to be supplemented by vocal and instrumental music numbers, in which the girls will exhibit surprising pro- ficiency to those in the audience who are unacquainted with théir accomplish- ment.

The money re- cewed for them is donated by the author to the American Red Cross. — 1 te ; este a — gg ey mm 8 rdance w the Copy- right Act, Canada, the Tribune 2 LONDON, April 22.—After eating and drinking to its fill for the best part of two years the British public began to find certain articles of food getting scarce, and at last turned its attention to the real ruler of the war—the dinner pail. Today about 20 per cent of the population, certainly not more, is be- ginning to understand that we must grow more and eat less. A few weeks ago some slight surprises were caused by the fact that potato supplies had virtually come to a stop. Simultan- eously there was difficulty in ob- taining sugar. Fifty years ago a quarter of a pound of sugar per head was the al- loWance of English households. In those days all sugar came from the West Indies and was very expensive. Latterly the introduction of sugar made from the beet, which came from Germany, France and Belgium, has reduced the price so that ccnsumption has reached in most English house- holds more than a pound per head per week. Better management has now enabled us to get three quarters of a pound per head weekly. Controllers Have No Power. When anything goes wrong in Great Britain (and it will be :nteresting to see if you follow our example) the politicians at once shelter themselves from responsibility by appointing a committee composed of resonant names supposed by the public to be experts. As matters get acute the committee is discarded for a so- called controller, who, if anything goes wrong, will be the ‘scrapegoat. A controller is a great improvement on @ committee, but a controller with- out power is a lath paintefi to look like iron. At present not one of our controllers has power. Next to yourselves we are, as 1 have observed by much travel, the mast extravagant people in the world. A the War goes on you will undoubt- require a food controller. I do envy him his mammoth task. ¥ recall to mind the American break- the American lunch and the Ameri- whereby, the midday hotel meal was confined to two courses and the night meal to three. Roast beef, for example, would be one éoyrae, but you could have as much as wou ned of it. April 16 new hotel regulations were adopted which I believe will be more effective. W Are Lord vonport an ennedy Jones, the Food Controllers, are trying to save supplies. Dach Hotel is to have five ounces of mieat per head per day. So far as the hotels are concerned that iz all right. But what about the pri- vate house? The nominal food regulation here is four pounds of bread and two half- pounds of meat per head per week. Conscientious people carry out the reg- ulations to the letter. Other conscién- tious people do not believe there is any necessity to. If there were a neces- sity, they say, the Government would order us, not ask us. Among the poor, who have never en- joyed such wages in their lives before, there is not only no economy, but, as I can affirm from personal inspection and that d my reporters, great waste. There is nobody out of work in En- gland; the combined members of many working households are earning as much as $/5 or $100 a week. The spec- tacle may be seen in mining.and muni- tion district of & diet more suited to the Plaza, the Blackstone or the Belle- vue-Stratford in peace times than to a British mining village in war time, Ditticult to Reach Hoems. We are making the mistake of being too much afraid of democracy“ ignorant or unmindful ot the fact that every time a democracy has been ordered to do a thing which has been thoroughly ex- plained to them they have acquiesced willingly. Parents who have been or- dered to give their sons for war are not likely to revolt when ordered to givé up an extra pound of bread or meat. English-pseaking people naturally re- sent any interférence with the home and the difficulty of the food controllers is in getting at the home. Moreover, the same regulations cannot possibly apply to all classes of life. 2 @ = „ „ ol 75 8 . os a 4 1 2 1 714 . 5 — — . B- ea aan ae oe = tee anata ee as — — — ST.

LOUISANS THINK WAR WILL ~— AFFECT BUSINESS ‘) Many Optimistic. but Some Say Conditions Are Based on False Prosperity.’’ “EXPORTS TO INCREASE” Heavy Demands Will Not Stop With End of War, E. C. Simmons Says. A number of St. Louis business men who direct large enterprises were asked by a Post-Dispateh reporter for their views on the effgeb@f war on business In this country. he are highly opti- ‘istic and regard the country as ex- tremely prosperous, Others think war conditions are not conducive to the gen- eral good of the people, being based on *false prosperity.“ Wartime business conditions in Canada were described in an interview recently printed in the Post-Dispatch with Aug- ust B. Brooker, a former St. Louis bank cashier, now personal representative of _ Sir John Eaton, Toronto, department He said Canada was very prosperous, and that the banks had large reserves, although they were not | only financing their own requirements, but were extending large credits to the British Government. The war, he said, has converted Canada from a debtor in- eo a creditor country. He said manufac- turers were breaking previous records with their outputs, and yet were unable ? Ta great work of this kind will not pro- duce a slump. “Of course, we know that what goes up must come down. It is inevitable. But the reduction of everything—be they prices or wages—will be gradual. Labor will not submit to reduction easily, and if I were a laboring man I would fight it as hard as I could. Labor that gets $5 a day will not want to take $3, and perhaps reductions in wage scales will be the last thing, for the trend of all good business organi- zations now is to good and faithful serv- ice. The people are being educated up to the better things of life; they re- quire them and mean to have them. And this is for the betterment of all con- cerned. 1 see no reason in a business way why anyone should become alarmed. Big bond and note issues should not scare anyone. They will take care of them- selves when spread over a period of 20 or 25 years. All the country will have to do is pay the interest and set aside 5 per cent a year in a sinking fund and the bonds will gradually disappear with- out apparent difficulty.” Less Optimistic View. David R. Calhoun, president Ely & Walker Dry-Goods Co.: War prosper- ity is not general enough and it is not the kind of prosperity we ought to wel- come. I cannot see how any permanent good can come out of woeful waste and destruction of human life and property. “There will be a trend to higher prices on everything, but that is not prosperity. Higher prices will come with a scarcity of labor, because many workers will be taken away from the looms and other activities to engage in war. Our les- sened ability to produce will increase demand and it will be but a repetition of the condition we find in the wheat mar- ket today. The fields did not produce and we have wheat at $2.50 a bushel. “With such conditions prevailing the average man is poorer than he was in normal times, because his income is not increased in proportion to his expendi- tures. When the average man is doing well, then business and the general good is at its heighth, which will not be the case under conditions growing out of a readjustment of values. It will take a few years to accomplish this. If Ru- rope has to call on us for everything she needs to rehabilitate herself, we may prosper.for a time, but I don’t think anyone can tell just how this will turn out. At present I think we are producing to capacity, and I cannot see, how we are to produce any more when people are to be called from work. The spending of bond money may start some new industries, but I think this will be offset by the labor with- drawn by the exigencies of war, Wages may be a little better for the few, perhaps the millhands, but the men of fixed salaries cannot regard war times and its cost as prosperous times.“ Steel Demand to Continue. Edward F. Goltra, president Mis- sissippi Valley Iron Co. and Democratic National Committeeman of Missouri: Business is very good now, and to al! appearances will continue to be good for some time after the war ends. The demand for iron and steel for construc- tive purposes in Europe after hostilities end will be probably 10 times the amount the demand has been for destructive purposes. The capacity for the consumption of our product in St. Louis in normal times is three times as great as our ability to produce, because we are not overbuilt. Therefore, I see nothing ahead but good business for some time to come in the iron business. Jackson Johnson, chairman of the International Shoe Co.: My. view of business results of this war is not the consensus, and it may not look very well in print, but I have never seen prosper- ity built upon destruction. Sooner or later everyone pays the penalty for his misdeeds. War prosperity is false pros- perity. You cannot make prosperous business and workingmen, the latter en- joying permanent high wages, unless the whole country is prosperous. War prosperity is not continuous. It is feverish because it is on a false basis! and my view is that both capital and labor will eventualy suffer for it. The spending of bond issue money for war goods has the effect of inflating values. When it is all spent, then comes reaction. It will have to be paid back, „% es ee ee ee ee „„ ee ae ae. oe ee - — — Seal Real — 1211212212 edt Baal Bell Bal Baal Beal Baal Coal Geel Beal Gee — — — -_ ge I „ „ meh ome 121 — „ „ 1 — —ͤ—ͤ—: foe — _- ae oe ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee 212 ö Beall Rall Beall —- Gaal Beall — * — oe oe | — 214121 Tomorrow every department to get the real economist to be a booster for this store bring buying activity to every section of this store— in the store makes a special bid for you to come here tomorrow if you are an economist and desire to save money.

Simmons Optimistic. Herewith are the views of St. yLouisans: . C. Simmons, chairman of the Simmons Hardware Co.—“ The Eu- ropean war was a Godsend to the. United States, resulting in its at- taining a position in the world of finance it could not have attained in 80 years-to come. “I see no reason for apprehension and do see every prospect that all will be busy—during the war and for two years after—at good wages. “I cannot see any chance of over- production or a slump in activity for at least two years after the war, if it comes then. We always have had @ great reserve stock of grains and Canned goods in this country until the present year. Now reports show they are all used up. War cannot be carried on without them. After the War it will take us a good while, ow- Ing to demoralized conditions in Eu- rope, to replenish them. It is a most éxtraordinary thing when the de- mands of consumption equal that of production, and makes this period in world history one of the most inter- esting one from the business point ef view. “Present prices for merchandise, to large extent, are the result of abnor- mal demands for goods, both in Europe and at home, and also the transfer of a large part of our skilled industrial workers from their ordinary avocations to the manufacture of munitions. With the close of the war the European de- mand for American goods will, of Course, undergo a change in character. No more war material will be wanted. Whether this demand will preserve its Volume, Sut only change in nature, in seeking supplies to rebuild and rehabili- tate ruined Europe, seems difficult to forecast, and even if we could do that, it would be almost impossible to predict the volume of such a demand, should it come. “On the other hand, it seems reason- able that for at least a time, and per- haps for a full year, if not longer, Ru- rope must look to us for supplies of many kinds that she will not be able to produce for herself, and this refers raw materials in many forms per- haps to a greater degree than to manu- factured articles. German Stocks Depleted “I think it is well to mention in this connection that Germany is practically i without any merchandise on the shelves ot the storekeepers or in the warehouses. ~ he has manufactured so little that the consumption has eaten up those prod- wets as fast as they materialize.

The price ranged from 510.75 to $10.95 for number 2 winter, the cheapest, which sold at $4.75 a barrel before the war. Rye flour which has been suggested by food experts as a cheap substitute sold at $10.06 to $11.25 a barrel.

ENLISTMENTS ARE ‘SLOW —— Naval Recruits Promised That They Will Be Put on Board Ship in Ten Days. A campaign of- advertising for recruits, waged with artistically colored posters and snappily worded handbills, such as helped raise England's big volunteer army in the first part of the war, is being conducted by the St. Louis recruit- ing offices for the army, navy and mar- ine corps. The bright-hued posters are daily becoming more in evidence in shop windows, the corridors of office build- ings, and on the billboards, while hand- bills are being distributed on the streets. The army, in addition to employing its peace-time posters showing tnfantry, ar- tillery and cavalry in attractive guises, is displaying a quaint reproduction of a call for volunteers in 1776. It is headed: son, entitled, Here He Is, Sir.“ It pia- tures a mother leading her- son by the hand to give him up to Uncle Sam. Another new poster, in red, white and blue type, reads: The Navy Needs You Now. Your Uncle Sam Wants Sailors. Enlist today and be on board your ship in 10 days. Hurry to the aid of the fleet. Ages 16 to .“ Naval officers are puzzzled to account for the fact that in thelr division St. Louis has made the poorest record «of all. Only 246 men have enlisted hars since the declaration of war, although this district was directed to supply 1:0 naval recruits by April 2. The time tas been extended to May 5. The St. Louis district includes all of Missouri except Jackson and Buchanan counties, and a large sect:on_.f Southwest Illinois. It is pointed out that service at sea should appeal to popular imagination; that it promises active service in 10 days; and that the pay in the navy is higher than in any other branch of the nation's fighting forces. Petty seamen receive $17.60 a month, with an increase to $20.90 wnen they go aboard ship. Tha army pay for prizates, as has been said is $15 a month. That of privates in th:: marines is the same, with an increase of 20 per cent for service on the sea or in foreign countries. Indians Offer Services to Farmers. ARKANSAS CITY, Kan..

Then the people—capitalists and workers—will have to share the burden. The law of supply and demand will then assert it- self. This law cannot be altered. War temporarily increases demand, but when the demand ceases there will be a pinch, Too Much Speculation. “I cannot tell now whether 1 am making any money or not; I wish I could. Tou take a man in our line of business who buys a lot of leather. Say he pays 20 cents for a certain amount, but before he gets ready to sell the fin- ished product it goes up to # cents. That's not business. That's speculation. At high prices he might get caught the other way and the result might be dis- aster. “My advice to the man who thinks he is making a little money today is to lay a little aside for another day: he may need it. Competition with Europe after the war is going to be much keener than it was. F don't say this will come immediately, tut it will come, nevertheless, and the stern necessities of those across the water will cause them to offer the strongest rivalry in business.” Johnson does not think the admin- istration plan to tax excess profits to make war revenue for the dis- charge of bonds and notes a sound rolicy.

The fact is emphasized in much of the army. literature that volunteers will be held for service only for the duration of the war, while conscripts will be lia- ble for service as long as they are needed. A bulletin posted at the army recruiting tent on the courthouse lawn, which was written by one of the Ser- geants in charge, reads: Volunteer and be discharged as soon as the war is over; conscripted, you serve as long or longer. Get next!“ Another sign calls attention to the possibility of obtaining a commission after one year of enlisted service. The Marine Corps recruiting office re- joices in two handsome posters, vigor- ously drawn and attractively colored.

Into Any Formal En- tangling Alliances. GRATITUDE EXPRESSED No Doubt of Determination of Nation to See the Conflict Through. WASHINGTON, April 26.—Foreign Minister Balfour yesterday gave out the following statement to the American press, through the Washington corre- spondents: “Gentlemen, I am very much obliged to you for coming here today and giv- ing me the opportunity of expressing to you personally and through you to the great American public, how very deep- ly we, who belong to this commission sent from Britain, value the kindness, the enthusiasm, the warmth of welcome which we have received in this capital city of the United States. All our hearts are gratified and touched personally. We are even more deeply touched by it as being the outward and visible man- ifestation of sympathetic emotion in carrying out and responding to a great call, which is the real security for our success. “No man who has had the opportun- ity which I have enjoyed in the last few days of seeing, hearing and talking to leading members of your state can for one moment doubt the full determi- nation of the American people to throw themselves into the. greatest conflict which has ever been waged in this world. 3 All That the War Means. “I do not suppose that it is possible for you-—I am sure it would not be pos- sible for me were I in your place—t» realize in deail, in concrete detail, all that that war means to those who have been engaged in it for now two years and a half. That is a feeling which comes and can only come by actual ex- perience. We on the other side of the Atlantic have been living in an atmcs- phere of war since August, 1914, and you cannot move about the streets, you cannot go about ‘your daily busin:ss, even if your affairs de disassociatod with the war itself, without having evidences of the war brought to Hur notice every moment., “I arrived here on Sunday afternocn and went out in the evening after dark, and I was struck by a somewhat unusual feeling which at the first vo- ment I did not analyze, and suddenly it came upon me that this was the first time for two years and a half or more in which I had seen a properly lighted street. There is not a street in London, there is not a street in any city of the United Kingdom, in which after dark the whole community is not wrapped in a gloom exceeding that which must have existed before the in- vention of gas or electric lighting. But that is a small matter, and I only mention it because it happened to strike me as one of my earliest ex- perienceg in this city. “Of course, the more tragic side of War is never and cannot ever be absent from our minds, I saw with great regre: this morning in the newspaper that the ‘bon of Mr. Bonar Law, our Chancello/ of the Exchequer, was wounded and missing in some of the operations now going on in Palestine, and I instinctively cast my mind back to the losses of this war in all circles; but as an illustration it seems to me impressive. ° The Meloncholy List. “I went over the melancholy list and, if my memory serves me right, out of the small number of Cabinet Ministers, men of Cabinet rank who were serving the state when the war broke out in August, 1914, one has been killed in ac- tion, four at least have lost sons, and now Mr. Bonar Law’s son is wounded and migsing—not, I hope, lost to us, but still in a position from which he may not return to his friends. „That is the sort of things that have happened in quite a small and narrowly restricted class of men, but it is char- acteristic of what is happening through- out the whole country. „The condition of France in that re- spect is evidently even more full of sorrow and tragedy than our own, be- cause we had not a great army; we had but a small army when war broke out, whereas the French army was of the great Continental type, was on a war footing, and was, from the very in- ception of military operations, engaged in sanguinary conflict with the common enemy. Mission From France. We have today coming amongst us a mission from France. I doubt not—in- deed, I am fully convinced—that they. will receive a welcome not less warm, not less heartfelt than that which you have so generously and encouragingly extended to us. That was and cer- tainly will be increased by the reflection that one member of the mission is Marshal Joffre, who will go down through all time as the General in command of the allied forces at one of the most critical moments in the world’s history. “I .remember when I was here there was a book which was given out in the schools called The Fifteen De- cisive Battles of the World.’ I don’t know whether they all quite deserve that title, but there can be no doubt or question whatever that among the de- cisive battles of the world, the battle of the Marne was THE most decisive. It was a turning point in the history and I rejoice that the hero THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 26, 1917. ] magnitude of that assistance can by any possibility be exaggerated. I am told that there are some doubting critics who seem to think that the object of the mission of, France and Great Britain to this country is to inveigle the United States out of its traditional policy and to entangle it in formal alliances, secret or public, with European Powers. I cannot imagine any rumor with less foundation, nor can I imagine a policy so utterly unnecessary. “Our confidence in this assistance which we are going to get from this community is not based on such shal- low considerations as those which arise out of formal treaties. No treaty could increase the undoubted confidence with which we look to the United States, who, having come into the war, are gQ- ing to see the war through. If there is any certainty in human affairs, that is certain. “Two years and a half have gone since the war began and the great publie on this side of the Atlantic has been watch- ing, with deepening interest, the blood- stained drama going on across the ocean, and I am well convinced that, as each month has passed, so has the conviction grown among you that, after all, it is no small or petty interest that is involved in this war, it is no struggle for so many square miles of territory, for some acquisition, some satisfaction of small national ambition, it is nothing short of the full consciousness that the liberties of mankind are really involved in the issue of this struggle that was animating the allied coun- tries. “With such a cause the’American pub- | sais — —L—U — — — these months, you have found yourselves impelled to join in the great conflict. I féel perfectly certain that you will throw into it all your unequaled re- Psources, all your powers of invention, of protection and your man power, all the resorces of that country which has greater resources than any other coun- try in the world, and, already having come to that decision, nothing will turn you from it but success crowning our joint efforts. * “This erpresses the sentiments with which I have been animated ever since I came to this city-—my sentiment of gratitude, my sentiment of hope. I do not know that I have anything of value to add. “Allow me to thank you most heartily again for having come here for this brief interview, and to express my grati- tude for what you have done, and my firm confidence that all of you will, wielding the great powder you do, ex- ercise it in the convincing cause of justice, truth and peace.” Ibsen's Chocolate Maraschino Cherries, Be pound, Friday.

The British casualties are set down as comparatively slight, and the spirit of the wounded is illustrated by the con- duct of the Broke's helmsman, Seaman William Rowles, who, though hit four times by shell fragments, remained ar the wheel throughout the action and finally only betrayed the fact that he was wounded by reporting to his Cap- tain, “I'm going off now, sir,” and fainted. shouts were heard, the Swift ap- proached Warily with her guns trained, to find that it was the de- stroyer which had already been ragumed by the Broke.

The United States must feed the allied countries and their armies if the war is to be won. Gardens are being planted everywhere. Farmers are urged to increase crop production. School children, boy scouts, neighborhood clubs, all are co-operating ‘to win the war. But increased production will help only a little so long as the waste of foods in kitchens continues. At the recent conference on food conservation in St. Louis it was esti- mated that millions of dollars worth of food products are wasted in the country’s kitchens every year. Economical of Foods An electric range will eliminate one-half the waste, or “cooking down“ of meats so noticeable in old-fashioned cooking methods. You can cook cheap cuts of meats deliciously on an elec- tric range—they will not be “stringy” rons tough. An electric range will cook vegetables better; it will prevent a “poor batch” in baking because results are always the same, due to perfect heat control. Every kitchen equipped with an electric range is helping to conserve the nation’s food supply. Every home in which there is an electric range is helping to conserve the nation’s man sup- ply because electric cooking means better food. Read What This Authority Says From ST. LOUIS POS T-DISPATCH, April 22. Economical of Money And electric ranges conserve money, too. The FOOD ECONOMY NECESSARY 10 M. HOOVER DECLARES Also Our First and Most Im- portant Duty to Our Allies, He Says. — — MUST EAT LESS BREAD — Must Reduce Wheat Consump- tion 30 Per Cent to Carry Allies to Next Harvest. LONDON, April 24.—The first and most important duty of the American people to their allies is to economize on foodstuffs. This is the appeal of Her- bert C. Hoover, chairman of the Amer- : Italian Cabinets. dean Commission for Relief in Belgium, and recently appointed head of the American Food Board. “If we do not do it,“ he declared to- day to the Associated Press, we stand a grave chance of losing the war, be- cause our allies cannot fight without food. Our enemies are calculating that America will fail in this and our allies set these calculations.“ Hoover’s observations were made aft- er three weeks of consultation with British, French and He also investigated the food and shipping situation and plans for American co-operation. The net-result he arrived at was that be- tween now and the next harvest it would require a supreme effort by the American people. „J feel it my duty to emphasize,” Hoover continued, that the food situa- tion is one of the utmost gravity, which unless it is solved, may possibly result in the collapse of everything we hold dear in civilization. “The total stock of food to-day avall- able in the allied world is simply not sufficient to last until September if America continues its present rate of consumption.” members of the will need to give in. America can up- average total electric bill for hundreds of St. Louis families for cooking, lighting and other household uses is $4.56 a month at our present rates. The third step in our rate now is three cents per k. w. h. On May Ist it will be reduced to two cents per k. w. h. to users of electric ranges. This will reduce the average monthly bill for all electricity used nearly $1.00 per month to St. Louis users of electric ranges, It will make electricity the cheapest fuel for cooking.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I venture to submit whether it would not be well to change our plan now before Congress for raising a force for national defense, somewhat as follows: Sidetrack the words “drafts” and “con- scription,” for they have the flavor of outworn autocracy and Prussian militarism, and are ob- noxious to the independent American spirit. Such terms should be elimiated from the vocabulary of a Government of a free people. The draft system was tried in the closing years of the Civil War, and from my own observation I know it proved to be a conspicuous and lamentable exhibition of how not to do it—and a melancholy warning. It may do for Germany, along with the absurd goose-step, but here it is an exotic and will not thrive. In my opinion it is not necessary to use these words to obtain results. There is a better way of getting draft because it was a sure, rapid and efficient | dent and give him the power he seeks to defend MISSOURI FAVORS THE DRAFT, _ The interviews with the citizens of 75 Missouri communities on the draft bill, which were pub- lished in Wednesday’s Post-Dispatch, convey sig- nificant and impressive information to Missouri Congressmen. Out of 750 Missourians interviewed, men in all walks of life caught at random, the expression in favor of the selective draft was 5 to 1. The expressions were free and uninfluenced. The men were asked offhand whether they favored the volunteer system or universal service and selective conscription. The reasons of the major- ity were conclusive. They favored the selective method of raising and training the great army needed for national defense, and because it ap- plied the democratic principle of equality to mili- tary service. They wanted to stand by the Presi- the nation. They wanted their Congressmen to support the President and vote for the draft bill. Even the men who preferred the volunteer system were willing to have the selective draft system if the volunteer system failed. It is al- ready a failure. It is refreshing to read these patriotic, sensible interviews after reading Speaker Clark’s silly patter about the War Department bulldozing the country into passing the only measure that will assure adequate military forces for national de- fense and about fastening the “disgrace of the draft” on the young men. Missourians are awake; they are alive to the realities of the task confronting the nation and they want all possible measures to safeguard the nation adopted promptly. They will reckon with their misrepresentatives who desert President Wilson in the crisis, betray the country and tie its hands. We assure Speaker Clark and his fellow oppo- nents of the selective draft that if their foolish action causes a failure of the Government's war plans and brings humiliation and disaster upon the nation, the majority condemning them will multiply many times the majority for conscrip- tion. = = * = +> POLICE CONSCRIPTION. Chief Young’s kind of selective conscription, set forth in a general order to the Captains, will receive the approval of everybody except gunmen, thieves, tramps, hoboes, hoodlums, cadets and loafers. Chief Young’s kind of selective conscrip- tion applies to all of these. The Captains are directed to canvass their districts and see that every able-bodied man gets work and keeps it, leaves town or goes to the workhouse. The only fault to be found with the order by anybody except the above classified udesirables is that it was a long time coming. Too long have ‘|tingent for protection against piratical attack, dening movement is a corps of. expert advisers. The committee in charge of the movement should employ gardeners to advise and direct its work. if they do not, labor and valuable material will be wasted: : e REED DONS THE DUNCE CAP. N All doubts as to Senator Reed's attitude on the selective draft bill—the measure designated by the President as necessary for the safety of the nation — were dissipated by his four-hour speech against the bill. An able artist in unreason and oratorical piffle was required to consume four hours arguing against a sound, wise, needful measure of national defense. Senator Reed has joined the congressional dunce-cap brigade of which Speaker Clark is eas- ily the conspicuous star. Missouri’s share of hu- miliation on account of congr&iona! misrep- resentation is a heavy durden. i, i i „ALL PRESENT’ ’—ST. LOUIS. Those young men who are yet hesitating as to what part they will play in the great drama of the coming months would do well to go to some library and read again about what was taking place this time 19 years ago. It might stir them to a becoming decision. An American fleet was steaming at full speed from Hongkong towards the Philippine Islands. Somewhere at the end of its journey lay a hos- tile navy. None knew certainly how formidable it might prove to be; but none was thinking par- ticularly of that. The thought in all minds was that the enemy lay ahead and must be destroyed. Arriving in Manila Bay on the first day of May, Dewey’s squadron fell like a thunderbolt on the Spanish vessels and wrote with its guns one of the most thrilling chapters in American history. The anniversary of that victory will soon be here. Another American fleet is’ preparing to do battie with a greater and stronger enemy. It needs men. St. Louis is expected to furnish. its quota, but it is backward in its duty. It must not continue to be remiss. Our hesitating young men have it in their power to say that the coming Dewey day will hear St. Louis’ enlisted strength answer: All present or accounted for.“ THE MONGOLIA AND A LONG ACCOUNT. The first hostile act by the United States against Germany came on April 19, nearly two weeks after a state of war had been proclaimed. The good ship Mongolia engaged in peaceful merchant trade but carrying a small naval con- sighted a submarine 1000 yards away. The naval gunners aboard did what they were there for and made a hit. | The entry of this single act of enmity against Germany for which we are responsible in all' history is recorded at the top of a clean page. But the page opposite is black with many heavy debit entries. It begins with German unfriendli- ness and mischievous meddling back at Manila Bay. Germany has fired on many ships under our flag.

Discrimination Against Soldiers. To the Hditor of the Post-Dispatch. Some of the boys from Chicago, who enlisted fn the army since the declaration of war, and who have been posted at Jefferson Barracks, hearing the dance musit at a South Side park were inspired to join the merry dancers. On tending money in payment for the desired tick- ets, they wore informed that it was against the policy of the management to allow soldiers in uniform on the dance floor. Now to toys from Chicago, coming here after seeing soldiers going about in uniform, receiving free rides on the city cars, being admitted free to the theaters, and dining and dancing at the best hotels and restaurants, being refused ad- mittance to the dance hall was an awful blow. Some of them are sure to write about the treat- ment they are receiving and the facts will tend to discourage men who intend enlisting. I, 8. Royal Arcanum Injunction Removed. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. About a week ago your columns contained a tele- gram from Boston, Mass., telling of the appoint- ment of a receiver for the Royal Arcanum. Now that “the other side” has teen heard from the same Judge suspended this receivership and dis- solved the injunction, will you with your usual fairness, publish this letter, presenting the facts as they are now known? ‘There are over 168,000 members in the Royal Arcanum, over 7000 here alone, which means that the interests of nearly a million dependents are jeopardised by this attack from rival interests. It is but fair to the mthat an explanation 16 The application was made by the holder of a $500 certificate, payable after death, who sought to make his certificate a preferred one.

Judging from past experience, not much is to be hoped for from that direction. The efforts of President Mansur of the Police Board have already given illuminating results and should be continued. Mr. Mansur has the power to com- pel a full disclosure of all the facts. He should exercise that power energetically and effectively. If standards so low relating to acceleration of legislation prevail in the Police Department, what is to be expected of the ordinary citizen with a selfish interest in State House action? The pecu- liar notions of the police as to “debts of honor” need to be revised. Their idea that the end justi- fies the means when pay increases are at stake should be emphatically condemned. i i * EXPERT ADVISERS NEEDED. The spirit that prompts the organizing of forces to make gardens in back yards and vacant lots and that impels the raw amateur to try garden- ing is excellent, but it needs intelligent direction to become a help instead of a handicap to food production and conservation. What the beginners in gardening need above all is expert advice and direction. There is plenty of advice and plenty of schemes, but the majority of advisers are ignorant and the majority of schemes are impractical. Misdirected energy and improperly planted seeds in improperly prepared ground are worse than idleness in this crisis, be- cause it results in the waste of land, labor and seed, much of which is good for food. . Most people who try to plant seed in ground which is not prepared or planted as it should be will waste energy, land and precious seed mate- rials. For instance, those who plant ordinary potato parings will get no potatoes. Substantial cones must be left around the eyes of the potato to be used as seed—at least a third of a good- potato must be cut off with the eyes. And there is delay in planting, the eye cones must kept in cool receptacles. The land must be prepared for the planting of cones. fertilizing and thorough cultivation for crop rais- ing. The plants require constant care and culti- vation. The prime necessity to the success af the gar- the Gloucester Castle, all on board were saved by patrols; in the other, that of the Salta fifty- two persons were drowned. Of all the unspeakable crimes of the Germans in this war none perhaps is more revolting to the human conscience than willful and treacher- ous attacks upon ship-loads of helpless sick and wounded persons. And yet the Germans have made public announcement to the world of their intention systematically to destroy all such ves- sels on sight. In extenuation they assert that British hospital ships have been used for military purposes—which the British deny—and, there- fore, immunity need not in any case be recng- nized. Where is the vaunted honor of the German naval officer, so vociferously extolled by the German delegate, Baron Marschall von Bieber- stein, in The Hague Conference of 1907, when the practices of maritime warfare were under discussion? The British delegation had brougnt forward a project forbidding the indiscriminate use of mines, Von Bieberstein opposed it, de claring: Conscience, good sense and the sense ef duty imposed by principles of humanity wit. be the surest guides for the conduct of sailors, and will constitute the most effective guar- antee against abuses. The officers of the German navy, I loudly proclaim it (je le dis a haute voix), will always fulfill in the strict- est fashion the duties which emanate from the unwritten law of humanity and civilization, * „„ „% As to the humanitarian sentiments of which the British delegate has spoken, I cannot admit that there is any country in the world which is superior to my country or my Government in the sentiment of humanity. The German delegation voted for the project whereby the Red Cross convention was made to apply to naval warfare, and the German Govern- ment ratified this convention Nov. 27, 1909. Yet neither solemn written agreements nor “the sense of duty imposed by the principles of humanity” has been in the least effective to restrain the sav- age practices ordered by the German Government. There must be some true and noble men in the German navy; they are to be found in all navies. Some day we shall know how many of them have made the bitter choice of death with honor, rather than life committed to obedience to dis- honorable orders. Where they get it we don't know. We have interviewed the boys, and we're guessing from the noise That we'll all go in together when we go. One would think to hear them tell it by the old Poto- mac’s flood That Missouri is a timid thing at heart. One can see her carry smelling salts against the smell of blood— Now, where in hell did that impression start? Champ! Champ! Champ! for- us Such a bunch of terror-stricken suffragettes.

ONSIDER the canteen. It is both a pleasanter and a more immediate thing to consider 5 2 ‘ than the base hospital. The latter is not yet needed by New York’s soldier boys. But even now they can make good use of the canteen, and therefore New York women have organized to provide it for them—the canteen, 1917 model. This is an entireiy different ak- fair from the Civil War canteen, which I am sure you remember from the pic- tures in your - hool histories; the pouch- shaped metal carriers of liquid slunz across each soulier’s shoulders. The modern ganteen, an enticing com- bination of lunchroom, dance hall, I- brary and tobacco shop, is about to be established throughout New York State, wherever there are large groups of en- listed men, by tne National League for Women’s Service. The league is work- ing with cordial co-operation of the New York division of the national guard ahd of the naval miitia. The work is un- der the direct charge of Mrs. James Burnside Hendrick, 39 West Fifty-ninth street, who has been a commandant of a woman's volunteer canteen corps in Eu- gland and has brcught to the organiza- tion here the experience she gained in military camps abroad. “What and why is a canteen?’ I asked Mrs. Hendrick. Purpose of Canteen, The purpose of the canteen is not to feed the men,“ she replied. “It is to supplement their fare and to give them a little home comfort and luxury. Sen- timent is a powerful factor for good with both soldiers and sailors. The en- Usted men greatly appreciate werk done for them by women of the country. In England the work of the women in the canteen corps has become such an im- portant factor that the Government, realizing its importance, has taken it under governmental control. “We want to organize New York wom- en £0 that upon very short notice we can send a canteen corps to any local- itty. Probably the emergency railroad canteen will be the one used at first, as it is by the railroads that the men reach their concentration camps. “Railroad canteens should be placed at railroad centers or places where men or bodies of men can enjoy them. These canteens are not meant for men sta- tioned at these places, but for the men who are moving under orders or on leave, from one place to another. They have been found to fill a real need at times in cases where troop trains have been belated or sidetracked, or where men have been delayed in entraining or detraining, thus missing their regular meals. The food served at the canteens can include sandwiches of all kinds, cof- fee cake, bread and butter, buns, dough- nuts, crackers of all kinds. The bever- ages can include tea, coffee, cocoa, soup and milk in winter and lemonade, iced tea, iced coffee, milk and ice cream in summer. Convenience to Men. “Often the men are under orders and cannot go out to purchase anything, therefore it is a great convenience for them to have small packages of tobac- "oo, cigarettes, ordinary penny postala, ‘pencils, stamped envelopes and a sheet ‘of paper. These articles should be pro- vided to the men at the smallest possi- ble post. “For the emergency as well as for the other kinds of canteens, an organized .group of women should be enrolled and pledges of money and food secured. I! * possible, have an army or navy woman enrolled in the work, so that, being in tion as to where and when troops would be passing or delayed. She at once sends notices to the captains, who pass the word to their lieutenants and pri- vates. The pledged supplies are col- lected and taken to the point indicated and distributed to the soldiers. Supplies tor the emergency canteen should be in the form of food and beverages all reauy to serve. Police permission and protection should be obtained. It may be that some days, or even weeks or months, groups of mefi may be passing through some spedial point or station. In this case a canteen equipment should be installed. Proper sized urns shpuld be placed in position and water and heating connection made if possible, and facilities planned for making sandwiches at the canteens and for washing the utensils and dishes. Shifts of workers should succeéd each other and the canteen be kept in con- stant use and order. There are three other canteens most useful in wartime work, continued Mrs. Hendrick. They are the recreation canteen, the military canteen and the industrial canteen. The recreation canteen has been found of enormous value. A large room or an empty house or any suitable place is provided in a village or town near which men are stationed in sufficient num- bers to warrant it. Musie for dancing, games, billiard and pool tables, maga- zines, newspapers and books are pro- vided. Thus a place is given where the soldiers of the camp and the giris of the village can legitimately and pleas- antly pass the evenings or leisure hours. A very small entrance fee can be asked. or a weekly or monthly subscription ticket. issued. A refreshment counter should be installed and refreshments sold at cost price. Articles already men- tioned, as tobacco, cigarettes, etc., may also be sold. Fills a Great Need. “The military camp canteen also fills a great need. It is placed as near as possible to a camp so that men can make use of it In their free hours. Sim- ple food such as has been already men- tioned should be served and, in addi- tion, one or two hot dishes, like ham, bacon, eggs in any form, toast, etc. The men enjoy enormously something that is not included in their regular mess. Here also tobacco, cigarettes, etc., may be sold at a very small sum. To adequately train women for duty in these three kinds of canteens a stand- ardized course of three quick service cooking lessons has been decided upon. The officer in charge should ask all women to take the course who, in her judgment, need the training. “The industrial canteen is founded on a different basis. Here may be the only real and actual need of food nourish- ing and well cooked. Should large mu- nition or other war plants spring up in or near villages or towns there would be perhaps no adequate provision in the way of wholesome food for the workers. A canteen run on wholesome, sanitary lines is of enormous value in keepitfg up the health and spirits of those who often work under great strain and at high pressure. To adequately train women to fill this duty it is neces- Sary that they should take the stand- ardized course of canteen cooking.”’ Both city and country women may pledge themselves to the National League for Women’s Service for can- teen work, and the league will send an organizer or instructions and details of organization to any group of women in the state who wish to enroll for service and who notify state headquarters at 38 West Thirty-ninth street. ge TT: ) girl who is attending college in I large city is doing good service in helping solve the servant prob- lem, particularly for the professional woman who lives in a small apartment.

He fell in love with a young wom- an, but realized that he was hardly making enough to keep one, to say noth- ing of two. He explained his circum- stances to her fully and left it to her as to whether she would wait until things were better with him, as he did not wish her to spend her life waiting for his prospects. The young woman as usual ruse to the occasion and decided for both. They would be married right now. She waa willing to start in a very modest way and would work with him, and reasoned that by economy it would cost very lit- tle more to keep two than one. So they were married. They engaged a cheap flat where she was going to do all the cooking and housekeeping. Now this young man's work, as stated, was in a department store where there were a number of women working. He was one of those kind of indi- viduals who try to be pleasant with everybody. Often he would help lift boxes for the shop girls and made him- self generally agreeable to his co-work- ers. He was very much liked as a con- ‘sequence. Now it came to pass that the young wife in the early days of the honey- moon would call for him at the store and ride home with him, as the little flat was necessarily located miles away from his business. On these occagionus while waiting for the store to close she would often note his attentions to the girls. Almost from the first she began to misconstrue, did not look with approval on them, and would make sarcastic re- marks now and then. At first the young man met her at- titude in a very light way and joked with her about it. But when he re- alixed that she was serious he ex- plained that he only meant to be kind to his associates; that no one in the wide, wide world meant anything to him except his wife and wasn't he working just as hard as he possibly could that things might be better for her? For a little while the matter would be smoothed over, but the next time she went back to the store her temper would rise and she would go 80 far as to say something to one or two of the girls. They in turn complained to the husband, who felt very much hurt in- deed. The wife went further than this. She even deemed it her duty to tell the boss about it. whereupon the hus- band was called to the office to ex- plain. It put him in a very embar- rassing position, and if it was not for his fine record it might have cost him Ruddy Cheeks—Sparkling Eyes — Most Women Can Have Dr. Edwards, a Well-K rern Physician Says Ohio treated scores of women for liver and gave to his patients a prescription made of a few well-known le ingredi- Br.

However, he kapt close to the grind- stone and pretty soon he came home with the joyful tidings that he had been made manager of his department. Instead of it pleasing the wife as he thought it would, she retorted that he now would have more opportunity to flirt’ with the girls, as he would needs hire and discharge them. This was a blow indeed. He was pa- tient, however, and attempted to show her her mistake, explaining that ne could not help that his work brought him in contact with members of her own sex, and that he hoped that she would look at it in a different light. However, nothing seemed to allay her foolish hysteria, not even a more de- lightful home and pretty clothes and the comforts that came’ with his new position. | She would come to the office and make his ife miserable. Her actions al- most cost him his new position. At last he decided there was but one thing to do—separate. He sent her to her mother and paid her bills. He realized that if he would succeed he must shake off this millstone that was around his neck. The woman nearly died with the shame of being sent home, but he was firm. The man progressed faster without her, although his heart was ieavy. The woman nad him followed every- where and learned to her surprise that even though now he had the opportunity he had no sweethearts and, except for his work in the store, women were out of his life. She begged to We taken back, but he refused. He would have no more wor- ries in his work. She realized what a fool she had been. She saw how she had failed to make allowances, and that all wife and no liberty makes Jack a disgusted husband. She promised to look with differant cyes on the whole scheme, for she loved him so.”’ I do not know whether she succeeded in winning him back or not, but sne learned this moral: The wife who thinks she is but a little clinging vine is usually a millstone around her husband’s neck, "TIT" FOR SORE, TIRED FttT—Ad! **TIZ’’ is grand for aching, swollen, sweaty, calloused feet. or corns, You're footsick, tired, puffed-up, sweaty, and they need “Tiz” makes feet remarkably fresh and sore-proof. “Tiz” takes the pain and burn right out of corns, cal- louses and bunions. “Tiz” is the grandest foot-gladdener the world has ever known.

One specialty house in St. Louis is devoting much attention to ready-to-wear apparel for the large women who have hitherto had difficulty in walking into a store, finding some- thing that they could wear with ease and becomingness, and walking out with it on, when they wished, just like their smaller sisters. One good-looking model has a vest, collar and cuffs of white Tussah silk, embroidered in gold thread. Five neat little brass buttons fasten the vest. A smart suit is of navy blue serge, with touches of embroidery in blue silk and silver thread on the points of the collar, on the lafge pockets at the side, and on the narrow bands which gather the sleeves into a sort of ruffle just above the wrist. Large revers fall to the waistline in a ripple effect and the loose, narrow belt fastens at the right side. The coat is cut off straight across the front in vest style, but is long at the sides and back; the skirt is corded upon a yoke at the sides and a deep tuck around it, except for the front panel, makes an attractive finish. : The coats of the new tailor-made suits come in all lengths; all one has to do is to choose what is most becoming, whether Eton style or the long one that reaches nearly to the bottom of the skirt, or any intermediate length. And the choice, if the coat is becom- ing, will be correct. Ags for materials, the ever-popular serge in navy ‘blue or black, Poiret twill, gabardine and taf- feta are the favorite materials. Dresses suitable for street wear bid fair to be extremely fashionable this year. One of navy blue satin ig mads much oy the Russian blouse order, ex- cept that it fastene in front instead of at the side. It is finished off with collar, cuffs and a deep border about the coat blouse of metallic thread embroidery gown of faille de laine shows the new and popular combination of taupe gray and navy blue, the gown itself being of the blue, the trimming of taupe gray. This trimming consists of taf- feta bands and embroidery in gray thread to match. An unusual feature of the skirt is the broad band of em- broidery around the bottom, in which a regular lace design is carried out in the gray thread. The modified barrel skirt, which is becoming when properly arranged, is shown in this model. Combinations of lace and net are to be in great demand this year in the thinner gowns, say the fashion experts. One handsome gown of cream-¢olored lace, combined with a square meshed net, is made quite simply and adorned at the waist by an unusual girdle of soft light blue ribbon, tied in frequent knots to form a chain effect. This gown is cut on long, medieval lines, and the girdle is loosely knotigd in front. Another handsome afternoon gown, shown in the {llustration, is made of a combination of cream lace with a rather heavily embroidered design and black net. The skirt, below the wide yoke, is made in a sort off wall of pattern, edged with rows of narrow black velvet ribbon. Below the tune, By Helen Rowland.

Do you know,” the article continues, “that every bit of meat and fish can be combined with cereals or vegetables for making meat cakes, meat or fish pies, and so on, and to add flavor and food value to made dishes; that every spoonful of left-over gravy can be used in soups and sauces or as flavoring for meat piles, croquettes and végetables; that every bit of clean fat trimmed from meat and every spoonful of drippings and every bit of grease that rises when meat is bolled can be clarified, if need be, and is valuable in cookery?

BOOKS BEING AUDITED Accountants Are at Work on Records of the Relief Asso- ciation. The Police Board investigation of the efforts to collect $13,000 from policemen to pay Atktbrney Joseph .Crites of Rolla and others who “put through” the sal- ary increase bill in the State Legisla- ture, took a new turs today when ef- forts were centered on learning what became of about $40 collected for the fund by Patrolman William McCormack. It was said at police headquarters that it might be necessary to assign de- tectives to run down this money, or to hire private detectives if it should be feared that clannishness in the depaft- ment would interfere with an investiga- tion through police channels. So far as has been learned the only collections made under the plan to as- sess each benefited policeman $8 for the fund were those made by McCormack, the contributors all being policemen in the Central District. Trace of Fund Lost. McCormack was questioned by Presi- dent Mansur of the Police Board and is said to have asserted that he turned the money over to a certain member of the Salary Committee appointed by the Executive Committee of the Police Re- lief Association. From that point all trace of the money has been lost. The investigation is further compli- cated by the fact that no receipts were given to the men who paid their sub- scriptions to McCormack and he says he received no receipt from the man to whom he turned over the money. Patrolman Ray Cummins, who was a most active member of the Salary Com- mittee and secretary of the Police Re- ef Association, has denied any knowl- edge of what became of McCormack’'s collections. Cummins is now under sus- pension. In a recent statement he took upon himself the responsibility of en- gaging to pay Crites for his services in behalf of the salary increase bill. Crites Here Saturda In connection with the mysterious disappearance of the $450, attention is being called to the fact that Crites is known to have been in St. Louis last Saturday night. Expert accountants yesterday began making an audit of the books of the Police Relief Association. This is a usual procedure in cases where an of- ficer of the association resigns or is suspended. The balancing of the books is necessary to relieve Cummins from further responsibility under his $6000 bond. WATTERSON PROTESTS AGAINST CLARK'S ATTITUDE Declares Support of Volunteer Sys- tem Can Only Embarrass U. 8. and Aid the Enemy. LOUISVILLE, Ky., April Henry Watterson sent the following telegraphic protest to Speaker Champ Clark yesterday: As an old and steadfast friend whom you have sometimes honored by calling him your teacher, I am constrained to challenge the vote it is reported you are about to cast upon the army Dill. “If the war should last long enough to put the issue to actual test it will sure- ly return to dog your political future and bar your usefulness in public life. Our beloved country never faced a more exigent situation. Congress will make mistakes at the peril of all we hold near and dear. “The volunteer system, like the stage coach, served its purpose in primitive times, but like the stage coach it proved unequal to the expanding needs of mod- ern times. The selective draft system is the contribution which experience of- fers to intelligence. The talk about Prussianizing our army is the chatter of unreflecting demagogy. We must meet organism with organism and fight the enemy with both hands, not with one hand tied behind us. “Out here in God's country the people understand the question perfectly. They know that the volunteer system favors the slacker and the shirk, whilst the se- lective draft system is fair to each and every man, but above all, they know * failure wherever tried and, seeking effi- ciency, they prefer the selective draft system just as seeking speed they would prefer a locomotive to an oxcart. “TIT am distresesd that you cannot see your way to this view, but seem about to ally yourself with a policy of obstruc- tion which can only embarrass us and aid the énemy, and it is in deep solici- tude for our country and sincere affec- tion for you that I veriture to obtrude this protest.

5 4 ¢ “Ue * iF ‘per 1 st oe Ae ai tall OTN 7 se 4 75 e 3 n % Me BEFORE WAR — — el Town in Fighting on West Front Is Located in Fertile Valley. WAstyNaTon, April %.—‘‘The bat- tle Arras, which promises to rank in ry as one of the pivotal clashes of the World War, takes its name from ond of the most interesting of the smaller cities, of Northern Franee,” Says a war geography bulletin issued by the National Geographic Society. “Situated on the canalized River Scarpe, 137 miles north of Paris and miles south of Brussels via the French Northern Railway, it is the chief town of the department of Pas- Ge-Calais and before the war ws the most important grain market in North- ern France. Amiers is 36 miles by rail to the sduthwest, and Calais 8 miles to the northwest. The surrounding terri- tory is a fertile plain, with the Vimy Ridge some six miles to the north. “The history of Arras dates back be- yond the Christian era when it was the chief town of a Gallic tribe known as Atfebates. It was then known as Nemetacum or Nemetocenna, but its present name is derived from that of the tribe. Traces of the Roman period have been found here but the Vandals, who" destroyed the place at the begin ning of the fifth century, did their work of obliatration almost completely The manufacture of woolens was intro- duced here at an early date, however, and the town. began to thrive again. For some centuires this was one of the centers of tapéstry weaving and in England the term arras“ was applied to all richly figured hangings. “Arras boasted of a charter as early as 1180 and the instrument was adopt- ed as a model by many of the neigh- boring communes. But this document did not protect the city against the ravages of hostile armies: which swept back and forth over this fertile region throughout the Middle Ages. On one occasion the citizens rose against the garrison which had been installed there by Louis XI. They succeeded in driv- ing out the soldiers of the French King, but their victory was short- lived, for the irate monarch sent a larger army against them, razed the walls, slew many of the inhabitants and deported the remainder, sending Frenchmen from other parts of his do- main to Occupy the town wHose very name was changed to Franchise. Louis’ successor, Charles VIII, restored the place to its people and rechristened it Arras. Some time thereafter it passed into German hands by the treaty of Senlis but in 164 was restored to the French. N Repays Old Theft of $240. CHICAGO, April 2%.—Declaring the theft has hurt his conscience for the last 20 years, a waiter once employed by B. J. Rosenthal, part proprietor of a Chicago cafe 20 years ago, sent Rosenthal a check for $240 to pay back small sums he had stolen at dif- ferent times. Rosenthal, who is now president of the Central Trust Co., split the money six ways, his five partners each receiving $40. 4 2 MOTHER FAILED 10 SAVE 01 fr 1 P to Obtain Release of Boy Wounded in France. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., April 26.—Kenneth L. Corcoran, listed and wounded in the Canadian casualties, is the son of Mrs. Charles W. Corcoran of St. Jo- seph. Last November the boy, then 19 years old, wrote to his mother from Canada that he had enlisted and was about to go to Europe. Heartbroken, she tried at once to get his release. The matter was taken up with the State Department and she was informed she could buy his release for $70. With the aid of friends she raised the money and forwarded a money order. But after a delay the money was re- turned, with the explanation that the British authorities had tightened their regulations and that in future no man over 18 years old needed his parents’ consent to enlist.

Marshmallow Fudge, Butterscotch HITS THE TRAIL AT “Aldrich Is My Name; Say, Bill, Do You Remember Sid Farrar? ’”’ ‘1 KNOW SID, SURE” Tabernacle Is Held Up Until Veteran Is Put in Fold. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post- Dispatch. NEW YORK, April %—Toward the end of the long line of men and women who walked down the sawdust aisles of they were 1437 in all—went a gray- haired, gray-eyed, gray-clothed man. Usually the ushers rush the trail hitters” along—turn them to the right or left, holding their arms, at times al- most pulling them away from the grip of the evangelist. But this man held tight to the fingers of the old-time base- ball player, and said: “Say, Bill! You got me! I'm one of your own kind and I want to be on the level and give you my hand that I'll do the best I can for you and Jesus Christ. Aldrich ig my name. I’m an old ball player, too. Bill, do you remember Sid Farrar, that used to play at first base ‘for the Phillies and Arlie Latham, a friend of John McGraw ?’’ line Is Held Up. The whole line was held up while the evangelist answered: Did I know Sid Farrar? Say, old scout, I know Sid, sure! I used to hold Geraldine, his daughter, on my knees when she was a little girl. What can I do for you, old- timer?“ Aldrich, who was weeping and to all appearances deeply affected by the meeting, replied that all he wanted was to be helped along the straight pathway that led to sobriety and a better life. Sunday hurried a specially appointed crew of personal workers to Aldrich's side (including Pat McQuaide, who once the Chicago White was sitting smiling on one of the benches of the penitents. This was only one of the touching episodes which Mayor Mitchel saw last night at his firet visit to a Billy Sunday service. Mrs. Mitchel was with the Mayor, and also Mr. and Mrs. Elbert H. Gary. The Mayor was one of the most deeply interested auditors of the sermon and spectators of the trail hit- ting.“ He applauded several of Sun- day’s utterances. Long- Hatred Young Man. : The second convert gained by the evangelist last night was a long-haired young man, who had been one of the soap box orators at the southeast cor- ner of Madison Square, outside the Sunday business headquarters in the Metropolitan Bullding, and who made many speéches in opposition to Sunday, though the young fellow had never heard or seen him. The Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, the evangelist with whom Sunday started on hie religious career, was present. made a brief address and delivered a prayer. He said he felt the best thing he had ever done was to start Sunday as a Christian campaigner. More than 2,000 crowded the taber- nacle at the night service. At the Busy Bee Candy Shops Friday. Choc.

OUTLINED BY FRANGS America Urged to Furnish Muni- tions, Railroad Equipment’ and Credit; No Separate Peace. WASHINGTON, April 26.—A cable- gram to the State Depurtment from Ambassador Francis at Petrograd States that all the Russians require to defeat Germany is munitions, rail- road equipment and credit. He urged that these be furnished by the United States. Ambassador Francis declared he was “pained and provoked” to hear that there was fear and suspicion in America of Russia making a separate peace. Of this he saw no possibility whatever, asserting that the provi- sional Government and people of Rus- sia would have no peace except that founded on justice and freedom. Russia is not manufacturing a suf- ficient amount of munitions to supply her armies, and heretofore has been receiving large quantiti.s from En- gland, in addition to those she pur- chased in Japan. German submarine operations are understood to have re- duced to a minimum the emount Rus- sia has been receiving from Great Britain, and the supply from Japan is inadequate. Because of a shortage of funds and credits also, Russia Looks to America to ald her in keep- ing her troops effectively equipped. Besides the shortage in munitions, Russia’s railroad problem is nearly ing the nation, and it is not concealed that she faces disaster unless the needs are supplied. It is not believed either here or by diplomatic and Gov- ernment officials in Petrograd that temporary German successes would be anything more than ephemeral, but it is thought even these may be avert- ed if Russia is properly assisted. FOOD PROBLEMS DISCUSSED BY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Reports Received of Vacant Lot Cul- tivation and Work Being Done by Women. The members’ conference of the Cham- ber of Commerce, at the Planters Ho- tel yesterday, discussed food production and food conservation. Senator W. C. Scifres of Indiana, head of a steel tie corporation that has lo- cated here, declared St. Louis was the natural home for the iron industry and that the city should be the home of a million toilers. No city, he asserted, had such facilities for commerce, and if the money that had been wasted on postoffice buildings had been spent in developing the Mississippi Valley there would be no food problem. C. E. Lightfood, chairman of the Va- cant lot Committee, told of the mobiliza- tion of the vacant lots army in every ward of the city, the furnishing of equipment by the implement dealers and the lending of teams by the city and the transfer companies. Prof. B M. Dugger of the Missouri Botanical Garden cautioned against as- signing lots that tonld not be cultivat- ed. Land with pure clay surface, he ex- plained, could not be cultivated. If it grew weeds and white clover it would produce vegetables. He advised educa- tion and supervision and suggested that vacant lot gardeners confine themselves to the staple vegetables, such as onions, potatoes, beans, beets, carrots and par- snips. Mrs. George Gellhorn, chairman of the Women's Central Committee on Food Conservation, created enthusiasm oy outlining the work that has been planned and is being carried out by the women for increased production and conserva- tion, and the campaign of education to teach women how to spend their hus- bands’ money more intelligently. She urged that in romes where a great many courses have been the rule the number be cut to three, that eating be- » tween meals be reduced and that enter. taining be limited Clifford Corneli member of a seed firm, told of seed shortage and cau- tioned against overbuying of seeds.

CARE UF HEALTH BEST HELP IN TIME OF WAR Every Citizen Can Render Real Serv« ice by Individual Preparedness, State Official Says. HARRISBURG, Pa., April 26.—The part each individual should play in a time of emergency and the importance of contributing to the national welfare ‘by keeping fit and healthy, ready to do any part in national defense are empha- sized by Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State Commissioner of Health, in a health“ talk. Commissioner Dixon says that everyone insists upon efficiency in gov- ernmental and similar matters, but fails to consider the part individual responsibility plays in such matters. The Commissioner says: “When we talkabout a representa- we form of government and the health of our people, we rarely stop to think of our individual part in the responsi- bility and efficiency of our government and its every act. We are all highly critical of the way in which our municipalities and our State and Federal departments are conducted, without a blush at our own want of individual responsibility in gov- ernmental affairs when it is time to direct them as they should go. “We should be as careful in voting for public-offitials as we are in select- ing banks in which we propose to de- posit our earnings. Now, in the time of war, let us stop and deliberate and take thought as to the necessity of every individual keeping his body, phys- ically and mentally, up to the very high- est state of health. because it is the adding up of the strength of the indi- vidual that present the strength of our Nation.“ Invest in U.

CHICAGO, April B.- A food shortage in Chicago would be a blessing in dis- guise in decreasing pneumonia, accord- ing to John D. Robertson, Health Com- missioner. Twenty-six persons died of pneumonia in Chicago yesterday ana 181 in the last week, according to re- ports of the Health Department. In the opinion of Dr. Robertson, the largest factor to the contracting of pneumonia is cvereating, and a food shortage would go a long way toward curbing the disease. ‘Horlick’s S Thre ORIGINATI Malted Milk A Nutritious Diet for All Ages Keep Horlick’s Always on Hand Quick Lunch; Home or Office. as serious as any difficulty confront- - Sctupbingy | | Made Easy — 5 >>>»! — NOs N When you have to scrub floors and woodwork, you can save yourself much labor and many a backache by putting a little 20 Mule Team Borax in the water.

Langworthy, in Letter to Police, Says High-Class Men Are Desired. Undesirables,“ police characters and men who have been convicted of crime will not be accepted for enlistment in the United States navy, it was an- nounced by Lieut. Langworthy, in charge of the St. Louis naval recruiting office, in a letter today to Chief of Po- lice Young. The letter was occasioned by a news item printed in a morning paper, which said the police had been ordered to make idlers and undesirables “go to work, leave the city or enlist in the army or navy. It was stated at polics headquarters today that no such order was issued. The police were ordered to arrest idlers, but nothing was said as to enlistment. In his letter, Lieut. Langworthy said the cause of recruiting would suffer greatly if the idea became prevalent that the navy was a place for worthless and vicious youths. He said the recruit - ing officers desired the aid of the police in keeping the navy free of undesir- abies.” * “At this time,” Lieut. Langworthy wrote, we are urgently in need of men, good men. Our need is so urgent that we, send them to actiye service on ships in 10 days. Before the war all recruits were given six months’ training before being sent to sea, during which period all undesirables who might have slipped through were weeded out before they got aboard our ships. Now that we find it necessary to send men to the ships Without this preiiminary training, you can readily see why we must appeal to the highest and best type of manhood in order to keep the personnel in the higher plane and oùr ships free from the evil influence of ‘undesirables.’ Every man who applies to this sta- tion to enlist s subjected to a very rigid examination, physically and men tally, and his status as a citizen investi- gated as far as iz in our power. If for any reason we believe him to be a crim- inal, or a man who has ever been con- victed of any crimé, he is rejected re- gardless of how good an examination he passes or how urgently we are in need of men.“ : The recruiting cificer then told of a case in which ie had asked to have an exception made to the rule, in order to accept a man who had been convicted of the offense of carrying concealed weapons. A reply came from the Navy Department saying that the policy of re- fusing enlistment to all persons who crimes could not be waived in any case, however deserving it might be. GIRL SEES SISTER SHOT AND BEATEN T0 DEATH BY MAN Screams Bring Help Too Late; For- mer Husband of St. Paul Woman Arrested, but Is Released. ST. PAUL, Minn., April 26.—Mrs. Alice M. Dunn, former wife of Frank J. Dunn, was murdered early today by a man who broke into the home of her parents, entered the room in which she and a younger sister were sleeping, shot her twice, and finally clutbed her to death with his pis- tol. The sister witnessed the killing, but her screams awoke their parents and a brother too late and the man escaped. Jewelry on Mrs. Dunn’s dresser and rings on her fingers were not touch- ed. Her sister is said to have told the police that when the man entered he commanded her to “keep cool; I don’t want you. J just want to doa little shooting.” Frank J. Dunn, from whom Mrs. Dunn more than a year ago was granted separate maintenance and alimony, was taken to police head- quarters, but released after. some questioning. ‘FRANCE DAY’ CELEBRATED IN NEW YORK STATE TODAY President's War Message Read in 14,000 Publie Schools; Story of Lafayette Told.

Rogers Hornsby insists he will be back at the old stand tomorrow, but Mr. Huggins thinks otherwise. “I Won't let Rogers in there unless his ankle is perfectly sound,” said Hug who knows the value of a stitch in e. But should Hornsby prove fit and rejoin the regulars, the Cardi- nals then will have—with Smith in nter—their strongest battle front of the season.

The Cardinal Idea Weakens. Earn Your Support, Men. ENTLEMEN interested in the Cardinals are complaining because St. Louis is not all ablaze with interest in the team, Huggins’ men having won more games than any club in the league, being today in second place. Omitting the war, the weather and other distractions, there still remain two considerations not mentioned in the bright lexicon or ‘he Cardinal Idea, to wit: That St. Louis has boosted its tenma in the spring for 28 springs, and had them fall down for 28 falls. That an- even break with the crazy Pirate club is hardly con- ducive to over-excitement on the- part of fans. If the club does well against the Eastern nines, it will be time to cut loose. * & — in St. Louis teams has to be consistently in proportion to their deserts. When the season is well on, this can be noticed by the increased or dimin- ished attendances following continued successes or failures. What more can a baseball club ex- pees than to be treated according to ts achievements? ~ — Interest been shown HE Cardinals have such unattrac- tive grandstand accommodations that they invariably suffer by com- parison with the Browns attendance, especfally with the women. n fact, the efficiency at Robison Field will have to be geared up in many respects. Already the Owned- by-the-Fans Club has weakened on the free score card, while the paid one is poor. Of course the new organization has not yet settled into its stride and ex- cuses can be made. But in the long ran the public will forget sympathies and judge purely on what attention is given to its comfort and its inter- est. * * — Passing of the Old Guard. OHNNY EVERS must be nearing the inevitable. It may be that this is the year in which he will join that great old guard which passed out of the major league Eden into the bushes, or retirement. Last year saw the passing of Lajoie, Mathewson, Mi- nor Brown, John Henry Wagner, Bob- by Wallace, Chief Bender, Nap kucker, Ed Walsh and Charley Dooin. Sam Crawford, Johnny Evers, Gavvy Cravath and others are hanging on by a toe hold, with the first t having a splendid chance to enter the shadowy confines that skirt the major league spotlight before the year ends. Evers, for the last two seasons, has been constantly in physical distress. Neuritis, broken bones, rheumatism and suspension have combined to keep him out of more than half of the season’s schedules. He is off to a bad start this year. The Braves will be 15 per cent im- proved, with the human spark plus on the job. But it is Evers’ sixteenth year in the game— long line of wor- ry for a nervous temperament. Crawford Is Senior, Now. JST now Sam Crawford, who is filling a pinch hitting job, is the Oldest in major league service, this being his eightenth year. is not a graybeard, however. He is 36 years young, having broken in at the age of 18. Of all the old guard remaining th fittest seems to be Eddie Plank, aged 42, who is SIX YEARS OLDER than Crawford, but has served one year less. Plank pitched a grand game his first and only appearance this season. “Please Go Way, Etc. HARLES J.

DID NOT STOP RIOTING It Is Charged That Official Did Not Properly Appoint or Instruct Police. Specia! to the Post-Dispatch p SPRINGFIELD, Mo., April 26.—The forces demanding impartial enfo ment of law and order and those which wink at a species of license incident to e labor strike are lining up for contest | in a recall election to be held here within 30 days, the first to be held after just one year of the commission form of municipal government. James J. Gideon, Mayor, is the of- ficial upon whom the recall privilege is to be tried. Behind him, according to labor leaders, the solid ranks of la- bor unionists are standing, 4000 strong, while 3000 signatures are on the. recall petitions, which are addressed to the City Commissioners. The basis of the recall movement is the strike of street car motormen and conductors, which has been in progress since Oct. 4, last. It is related in the petitions that Mayor Gideon has failed and refused to use the power of his office to enforce the laws for preserva- tion of the public peace and the lives and property of the citizens; that he retains on the police force members whom he knows are failing and refus- ing to enferce the laws, and that, in violation of law, he has appointed men as policemen who have been rejected by the Civil Service Board and in other instances has appointed men who have never been examined by the Board, thereby ee arbitrarily. uld Not Oust Chief. One oft the chief contentions by those directing the recall movement is that Mayor Gideon, with whom the appoint- ing and removal power exists, refused to oust Chief of Police Barney Rath- tone, and that neither the Mayor nor the Chief of Police has at any time displayed disposition to protect the street cars, those operating them since the strike began nor those who were riding in them. Violence has occurred more than ance, which included rioting in which several persons were injured, dynamiting of the cars and shooting into them. Of late disorders have been less frequent and violent. When violence first. developed the traction company obtained from the Federal Court an injunction against the strike leaders restraining them from in any way interfering with the property or rights of the company or the men employed to take the places vacated by the strikers, about 70 in number. The company sought at this time to in- clude Mayor Gideon and Chief Rath- bone in the injunction, but Judge Van Valkenburgh refused to restrain the two officials on the ground that he had no power to attempt to “police the city.” Union Men Captured League. Out of the turmoil and violence at- tending the early days of the strike was born the Civic League, the pur- pose of which was to safeguard as far as practicable with a civilian organi- zation the best interests of the city. When the second meeting of the League was called to perfect the organization and consider plans for its operation union labor men were invited to attend and lend their influence to the suppres- sion of violence. They attended in force, led by R . Wood, President of the Missouri Feder- ation of Labor, and at the close it was found that they had gotten control of the League. After that tne body held its meetings in secret, and its avowed purpose is to take the matter of law enforcement largely into its own hands. To do this it is the plan to have a citizen police force of at least 2000 men, and as a step to this end each member is required to register his resi- dence address so that, should it be- come necessary to summon him to aid in suppressing violence, he can promptly reached. It is widely stated that the street car strike has gone further in the disturb- ance of local conditions than any other incident in the history of Spring- field. Despite this result, there has been no suggestion from those outside the ranks of the strikers and their active sympathizers that the company meet the demands of the motormen and conductors. The first of these demands is the reinstatement of Stanley Jones, secretary of their union, whose dis- charge precipitated the strike, and the second is recognition of the union. The only concession that thus far has been offered by the company is to restore the strikers to their former employment, but only as individuals. Prosecuting Attorney Paul M. O'Day has revoked the commissions to carry concealed weapons which had been is- sued to strikers, their sympathizers and also strike-breakers. One constable issued these commissions to strikers and labor leaders, while another con- stable provided them for the strike- breakers. In lieu of the commissions to be _ Strike-breakers thus revoked.

COMES 10 DEFENSE OF SOUTHS MOUNTAINEER} : Knoxville Man Takes Exception to Charges of Illiteracy in the Press. Special to t Post-Dispatch, RON Vik LB. Tenn., April 26.—Excep- tion is taken in this part of the country to certain statements made in news- papers and the periodical press relative to what is described as the ‘illiteracy’ of the mountain section of the South. Sam Dawes of this city says that ar- ticles that deal with this illiteracy idea in the usual fashion nowadays are en- tirely misleading. They would have ap- plied 20 or 90 years ago, he admits, but they are not now fairly representative of the mountain section. “It is possible,“ says Dawes, to find a few people in the mountains who are unable to read, but they all belong to the older generations, those who sur- vived the Civil War, and who had no opportunities to learn; but what they lacked in education they made up in shrewd native wit and common: sense. “Before State-wide prohibition went into effect Tennessee had a law pro- hibiting the sale of intoxicants within four miles of a schoolhouse, and there Was only one place in the State where liquors could be sold without violating this law. Today the country is dotted with schools, and almost évery child can read and write, and I will venture this agsertion, that their grades will cont pare favorably with those of any schools in any section of the tountry, Our towns and cities are made up of this mountain population, who are suacess- ful Duginess men, and you will also find thein all over the West, holding posi- tions of trust and responsibility, in all walks of life. j “Dialect writers have exploited this region and made the inhabitants out as ignorant. Some of the dialect they have gotten correctly, and it is nearest to pure English of any used, but the writer has lived and traveled among them for years, and has yet to hear the first one say ‘mountings’ for mountain. Fetch und tote are good English, al- though obsolete. Thie mountain coun- try hag produced such men as Admiral Farragut, Zeb Vance, Horace Maynard, W. G. Brownlow and many others who have attained national prominence. The East Tennesseeans and men from West- ern North Carolina fought the battle of Kings Mountain and turned the tide of the revolutign. East Tennesseans fought the battle of New Orleans ander Gen. Jackson, and during the Civil War Hast Tennessee furnished more loyal soldiers to the Unien than any other state in proportion to the population.“ Dawes advises readers not to take the word of dialect writers, but to visit the mountains and see what he calls the most beautiful country in the United States, with a people whose hospitality extends both outside and inside the homes.

Once again the piano came to Luke,“ and the visitor, nearing the finger of Dick Dewey, went in. „Where's Corporal Trim?“ „He's gone West, sir—-went an hour ago, very sudden. I was trying to play the tune he liked, the Minstrel, but I can't get the notes—you play it.“ So the tune from his own Western isle was the Corpo/al’s Requiem.—From the London Times.

It had dropped from a wagon that was going by, so I brought it to father ousied himself about supper at the stove, Paul laid the package on his bed and began io read the evening paper which the father had bought. One of the first headlines he saw was a big one giving an account of a great robbery of a millionaire’s art gallery. The paper went on to say that a famous picture by one of the world's greatest painters was among those the robbers had se- cured, and that the owner had offered $600) ae a reward for its return. ; ture,“ the package, but it contained nothing except a cheap print in a plain frame. so he stood it on the floor by his chair. The next morning when the father had gone to work the boy began tv take the frame apart. “I will cut it down and make it into a smaller one for mother’s pic- he said to himself as he set about the work with his knife. Mother will pital next week, and I can make her a Christmas present right here in my chalr.“ He pried the pieces apart, and as they fell into his lap there came with them a square of linen ‘which was held flat to the back of the frame by tiny tacks. It had been on the inside of the boards at the back, and with the print in front could never have been seen at all. Paul held it up to the light, then gasped in astonishment. | “It is the very picture. those robbers stole a few nights ago from Mr. Rog- ers,“ he said aloud. They must have been hiding it this way to get it out of the city. Gee, but how lucky I am! I ean get the $5000 reward. Then I will be able to have my leg made well.“ When the father came home he found Paul almost in a fever with excite- ment. Tou must take this to Mr. Rogers at once,“ panted the child. It was behind that old frame you picked up in the street.“ Just as soon as the child had had a warm supper the father ran with the picture all the way to the great man- sion in which. Mr. Rogers lived. In a few moments he stood in the handsome library and told the story of the find. „I will not only give your son the reward I promised,“ said Mr. Rogers, “but I will let my own son, who is a fine surgeon, attempt his cure.” He called his carriage and in a few mo- ments was driven to the humble room in which the boy awaited his father’s return. When Mr. Rogers met Paul he was much pleased with the lad, and when he heard that the picture had been found on account of the boy’s desire to make a frame for his mother’s photo, he in- sisted that Paul select one of the hand- be back from the hos-. somest frames to be had in the city for that purpgse. By New Years Mr. Rogers had become so fond of Paul that he kept the lad at his own house for the operation on his leg. It was successful and within two months Paul could run around with the other boys. Then he studied paint- ing, and the very first picture he made was one of a cripple sitting by a window with the sunset light falling on his face and his mother’s picture in his hand.
