BUTTE, Mont., April 27.—Stand alone if you have to, but stand firmly behind the President,’’ was the message sent to Miss Jeannette Rankin, Congress- woman, today, by several clubs, whose advice she had asked regarding her stand on universal military service. Miss Rankin had telegraphed: “TIT have heard no one in the House who ts supporting the President’s con- scription bill. Do you wislh me to stand alone for this?’’ The Chamber of Commerce of Hamil- ton, Mont., and the Rotary and Pan- Hellenic clubs of Butte answered her in the affirmative. TWO UNNATURALIZED GERMANS HELD FOR U. S. AUTHORITIES One Employed at Chemical Works, and Other Was There Until Few Days Ago. Franz Fonseca, 917 Mallinckrodt street, and Otto Bischoff, 807 Bremen avenue, unnaturalized Germans, were arrested by policemen last night and are held for the Federal authorities. The arrests were based on informa- tion that Fonseca and Bischoff had been heard, talking about explosions and about going to Mexico. Fonseca is employed at the Mallin- ckrodt Chemical Works and Bischoff also worked there until 10 days ago, Po- licemen searched the basement of Fon- seca’s home and found a quantity of chemicals. Edward J. Brennan, chief investigator for the Department of Justice, today re- fused to discuss the arrests. MARKED QUARTER AS EVIDENCE VANISHES; LIQUOR MAN FREED Policeman Who Made Arrest Reports That Unmarked Silver Piece Was Substituted. Policeman Bauman, in a report re- ceived at police headquarters today, charged that a marked quarter which he had turned over to court employes to be used as evidence against Ray Bickerton, a saloon keeper of 11066 South Fourth street, charged with selling liquor on Sunday, had disappeared when the case was- called for trial yesterday, resulting in the dismissal of the charges. He said that an unmarked quarter had been substituted for the marked one. According to Bauman’s report, he went into the saloon two weeks ago Sunday and bought drinks, paying for them with the marked quarter. He arrested Bick- erton and took the quarter to be used -/as evidence -The case was-tried in Judge | Miller’s division of the Court of Crim- inal Correction. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Ray Weinbrenner, who conducted the prose- cution of the case, said he received from the police department a sealed «envelop? in which he found a quarter. The mis- take, he said, evidently was made in the police department, as the envelope had not been opened before it came into his hands.

WILL END U-BOAT MENACE Lloyd George Says Best Brains of Two Nations Are Concen- trated on Problem. NEXT JOB TO BE DONE British Premier Declares Tide of War on Land Has Turned in Allies’ Favor. LONDON, April %.—In a speech at the Guild Hall today, Premier Lloyd- Georges discussed the military situation, the Irish question and others of the major problems with which the Gov-| ernment is now engaged. The Premier's speech was in acknowledgment of the conferring on him of the freedom of the City of London. Referring to Ira- land, the Premier said: “We must convert Ireland from a suspicious, surly, dangerous neighbor to a cheerful, loyal comrade. Settle- ment:of the Irish question is essential for the peace of the world and essential to a speedy victory in the war. I ap- peal to the patriotism of all men to sink everything for the one purpose of getting this question out of the way. ’ Lloyd George paid a tribute to the financial community, through the help of which, he said, British credit had survived the financial panic of the early days of the war. This com- munity, he said, took an honorable part in the triumph of the last war loan, which was the mort remarkable financial exploit ever witnessed. Says War ‘Vide Is With Britain, After alluding to the organization of the ministry of muaitions, the Fremier said: “Now, thank God, our men have a real chance in the fight. The story now is very different from what it was in the early stages of the war. Before June, 1915, we lost 84 guns and a considerable number of prison- ers. Since that date we Lave not lost a single gun, while we have captured 409. Regarding. prisoners, we have taken at least ten to one. The tide nas now turned. Victory is coming ir-creasingly nearer. “During the ‘first 18 days of the} Scinme battle we captured 11,000 pris- oners and 84 guns. During the first 18 days of the Arras battle our cap- tures were 18,000 men and 230 guns, whLile we gained four times as much Ground. This meant not only ulti- mute victory. It meant victory is go- ing to be won at less ‘oss, and our chances are growing as our equipment is improving, and the Germans know it. That is the explaiation of the Cespair which has. driven them to black piracy on the high seas. "This is the next job we ‘have to deal with. Our minimum problem is to feed a population of 45,700,000 in a country. which is not self-supporting, tc provide the necessary miaterial and fuod to equip our armies and keep the seas free for the transport of the troops of ourselves and our allies. That has had to be done against the swarm of pirates moving unseen un- der the trackless seas, since the Ger- mans determined to sink al! craft in- diecriminately without warning. Trere is no doubt we have lost many ships, but they: brought America in and I am perfectly satisfied with the balance. America, after great pa- tience, came to the conclusion there was no use of waving » reutral flag in the teeth of a shark, and she is definitely with us to put down this menace once for all. “The best brains of America and Britain are concentrated on this prob- lem. There was never a human problem which was not soluble and I don’t be- lieve this is an exception to the rule.” Million Fresh Acres Seeded. Dealing with the effort of the Gov- ernment to make the country selfsup- porting, the Premier said that as a re- sult of the guarantees to the farmer and the farm laborer a million fresh acres of land had been brought under culti- vetion, which was equal to producing 2,000,000 tons of food. “I do not say that the war is going to» continue through 1918,'’ Lloyd George went on, “but we must take no chances. We have taken far too many. If the German knew that by holding out until the end of 1918 he could win, he would hold out; but if he knows that the long- er he holds out the worse it will be for him peace will come much earlier.” The Premier said the Government was taking stepa for the harvest of 1918, and that if the plans were carried out there would be 3,000,000 more acres of land un- der cultivation and no one would starve, but the country must help in husbanding foodstuffs. “We have got to economize our ship- ping until we have discovered a method of destroying this ocean basilisk,’’ said the Premier. He then outlined the steps already taken in this direction. He added that the Shipping Controller had made arrangements under which Great Britain would get three times, perhaps four times, as many new ships this year SELECTIVE DRAFT INDORSED SPRINGFIELD, Mo., April 27.—With- out a dissenting vote the Young Men's Business Chub of 150 members at a luncheon yesterday adopted a resolu- raising the United States ariny. The resolution will be sent to Congressman Hamlin of the Seventh District ana iLiis- souril Senators. Hamlin is opposed to FINAL ARGUMENTS ON WAR ARMY BILL MADE. IN-HOUSE Representative Dent Sums Up for Volunteer Plan and Kahn for Draft. VOTE BY TOMORROW Friends of Conscription Confi- dent It Will Win in Both Branches of Congress. WASHINGTON, April 27.—Debate of the war army bill is in progress this afternoon in both branches of Congress. made by the sides favoring and oppos- ing conscription and five-minute talks are to follow, with a night session in prospect and a purpose to take a vote tomorrow, if possible. The Senate also is debating the meas- ure with the expectati that it will take a vote tomorrow evening. Friends of selective draft, advocated by the President, ure confident that it will win in both houses. Summing Up in House. Chairman Dent closed the argument in favor of the volunteer amendment and Representative Kahn summed up in sup- port of straight-out selective conscfip- tion. The House cheered Kahn loudly when he began. In every war, he said, some Americans had put every obstacle in the way. . “The extreme pacifist always has been with us.”” he said, “and frequently he hampered operations of the Government in and out of Congress.’’ A system which permits the volunteer to sacrifice his life in defense of his flag and permits the shirker to remain at home he denounced as neither just nor democratic. “Tt is the duty of the individual to re- spond to colors whenever the nation de- crees he is needed,”’ he added, ‘‘and the selective draft system puts the ourden equally on the shoulders of all maies of military age.”’ Kahn denied that German soldiers could not be sent Overseas unless they volunteered, . He said: honesty compelled admiration of the fighting qualities and valor of the Germans, that Belgium’s army was made up from draft: that the by 6 p. m. Marne and are now driving back the German forces were all men conscripted by France and that the tlalians are con- scripts. Praises Conscript’s Valor. “Under systems of universal! obliga- tion to service in war time,’’ he said, “these men were trained for jsut such an emergency as that which confronts them today. Anyone who attempts to belittle the valor of the conscript does not know what he is talking about. “There must be no blunders like those made in the past. Every man between 21 and #4 years old must know that he is liable to be called during the progress of this war. His country will determine when his services are needed and will notify him in proper time. That fs the democratic, fair, equitable way.” Today's Senate Debate. In the Senate the bill was taken up today under an agreement to reach a final vote by tomorrow night. Sena- tor Jones of Washington, a Republican, opened the debate, supporting a selec- tive draft. “The man who must conduct the war. our Commander in chief, urges it as a wise and necessar¥ m2asure now,’ aaid he. “The military authorities almost without exception urge it. The Senate Comnmittec that has fully examined into it recommends it. The lessons of this great war point to it as a wise course Why should [I not vote for it?” The Washington Senator said that he knew many of his constituents are opposed to the selective draft, but that he believed those constituents expected him to weigh and consider questions and perform his duty. Senator Kenyon said he expected to support the bill, but wanted exemptions in favor of men in employments of military value changed so that the power of enforcing such exemptions would not be in the hands of military men alone He approved the La Follette aménd- ment for civil tribunals to pass upon questions of exemption. Wants T. R. Sent to France, The Iowa Senator declared he favored also an amendment which would permit Col Roosevelt to go to the front in command of American troops, “It would be an inspiring thing,” he said, “if Col. Roosevelt could lead a division side by side with the tri-color of France. Nothing would help bring the war to a speedy end as much as that. But they say it: would demofalise our army. It seems to me it would de. moralize the army of the enemy more.” Senator Kenyon read figures to show enormous increases in the incomes of corporations affected by the war and added: “I want to say that while I am vot- ing for wonscription of these men IT am going to vote later on for conscription of the great incomes of this country to help pay the expenses of this war. Conscription of incomes above the ordi. nary amount that any ordinary demands of life need is just as logival ag the conscription of men.” Senator McCumber declared that 10,- 000,000 of the best trained officers and men would not win the war for the United States if the submarines were not overcome. “I think it is a fair estimate to say . ¢ In the House the summing up is being} soldiers who fought the batte of the’ Conscript and Convict 2, Speaker Champ Clark, leaving. the the selective draft bill, said: and a convict.’’ ~ + ° i ore. es 5 a-« , 4 "ye: Fg AS oy, * . = ae aes ’ CONFEDERATE: 24% @ CONSCRIPT a i AN chair Wednesday afternoon to speak to the House against ‘‘So far as Missourians are concerned, there is precious little difference between a conscript The South resorted to conscription in August, to fill the depleted ranks of its armies. + presiding officer's a year before. 1862 *| prison stripes?

An official statement regard- ing the Minister’s communication was given out here today, showing that he told the committee the success of the submarines continued to be great and their losses small. Reports already at hand showed that a favorable result could be expected for April. The reduction of tonnage at the disposal of hostile nations, he sa‘d, was taking place with mathematical cer- tainty, thereby increasing the lack of foodstuffs.. The Minister continued: “Notwithstanding the sharp censor- ship in entente countries, sufficient news has reached us to show that the U- boats have hit a vital nerve of Englard and, through her, of her allies. The | (London) Morning Post of April 16 says that the number of English boats rea'ly sunk has been kept secret, but that the scales are inclining toward Germany and that this gain probably will in- crease in mathematical progression. “This is significant.

As already related, the struggles about Monchy-Le-Preux since Monday have attained an in- tensity unequalled by any of the fighting in the Somme campaign last year. .There was one German position north of the town paralleling ¢the Scarpe river which resisted four des- perate attacks. It was finally de- cided to take this position at the point of the bayonet without a shot of any kind being fired to rob the attack of its surprise nature. The attack was made along a three quar- ters of a mile front under cover, of darkness. Advance in pasknens. The British battalions were formed in comparatively close order and at the whispered word of command, re- peated along the line, trudged for- ward into the night. Grim and si- lent figures they were, some in kilts, some in plain khaki, each man wear- ing a steel helmet, each having a firm grip on his rifle with fixed bayonet, the polished surface of which how- ever caught no reflecting light in the enveloping darkness. Overhead shells were droning and back of the lines guns could be heard. But it was only a desultory bombard- ment going on and there were fleet- ing intervals of strange quiet just where the determined line of British troops was approaching their unsus- pecting gray-clad foes. Four unsuccessful daylight assaults had left a touch of chagrin which was to be wiped out in this “getting of a man” there is little more to tell. The sound of the fighting in the trenches was lost in the British bar- rage which closed down some dis- tance behind the German position im- mediately the British signalled they had entered the position.+ This bar- rage cut off any German who at- tempted to flee from the bayonet charge. Thus, in ten minutes with the silence bayonet was secured a position which had held out for two days. “Kamerad” Ruse Employed. The bayonet also has come in ef- fectively in dealing with the ever troublesome machine gun and gun- ners. A few brave men, stealing out in the night have been able to ac- complish much. Several British battalions have re- rported in the last few days that the Germans are again employing the old By a Staff Convengtntent of the As- sociated Preas. | “kamerad” ruse, suddenly standing up in the shallow trenches and hold- ing up their hands and shouting across to their opponents that they would surrender. Two battalions be- lieving in the sincerity of this pro- posal started across to- bring in the prisoners, but were immediately at- tacked. Incidents like this have helped ma- terially to give the element of bitter- ness to the fighting to a degree which has startled even those men who have been in the battles since the first German rush through Belgium. Trained With Bayonet. The British have given unceasing attention to the bayonet fighting drill in the last two years. The month of training in England has been supple- mented by post graduate courses in the great training camps in France and continued as the units passed down through the corps into divisions, brigades and battalions. The night before the Arras attack some ser- geants could be heard giving their platoons last instructions. One of these groups formed a curious pic- ture in the moonlight where all the air was electric with preparations for the coming clash at dawn. Traffic along the road leading toward the point of eontact with the enemy suddenly ‘stopped because of a tem- porary block. The throbbing motor engines were throttled down to an al- most inaudible purr; the tired horses dragging army wagons or artillery limb- ers stood with the stillness of nearly exhausted animals. Their drivers’ head dropped limp as they snatched a few moments of sleep. The mystic sort of silence which settled down was broken by the racuous voice with which Ser- geants always impress their wondering subordinates. Sergeant Instructs Men. This particular Sergeant’s men were facing each other for thrust and parry exercise. They were not to take part in the first rushes of the morning, but going in later in the day to press the attack on the third and fourth lines. Ard there was yet time to give them final advice, The Sergeant’s commands seemed to have a ring in them like the clashes of the steel they directed. “‘Come along, come along,’’ he said, “‘let me see a lit. tle more murder in them eyes. Get some more viciousness behind you. Your bloomin’ rifle ain't no baby.”’ The Sergeant gave much more telling advice than this and the drill cease amid great chaffing. The correspondent stopped the Ser- geant as he came along the road and asked: ‘‘Will your men remember al) that?’’ “No, sir, they won't remember it all,”’ was the frank reply. ‘“‘but what they do remember will help.” * Qaaewss ae are voting for the War Department and administration bill will represent the majority sentiment of Missouri.

ET gE BERMAN FACTIONS TALK PEACE AS IF WAR WERE ENDING Chancellor Hollweg, Storm Cen- ter of Arguments, Virtually Has Lost Power as Leader. ARE MINERS RESTLESS Chancellor Warns Labor Against Interfering With Manufac- ture of Munitions. By CYRIL BROWN, A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and the New York World. . (Copyright, 1917, by Press Pub, Co.) COPENHAGEN, April 27.—With a de- cisive battle on in the west and which apparently will last all’ summer, Ger- man factions are in as bitter contro- versies over the war aims as if peace were actually imminent. The phenomenon of an impassioned polemic over annexation or no annex- ation, indemnity or no idemnity, at the very climax of the war, while the fate of the empire is hanging in the bal- ance, could only happen in Germany, position is such that they feel they can indulge with impunity in fighting be- hind the front over the peace terms. A feature of the inner political strug- gle is that the cleavage of public opin- ion is so marked as apparently to be unbridgeable by any compromise Wich the Chancellor might make. Extremes meet, however, in the common determi- nation to seize the present moment and force that Chancellor to publicly state the Government’s concrete war aims. The Socialists are pressing Bethmann- Hollweg hard, so hard as to state to- day that he is unequivocally opposed to annexation in both east and west. Want War Aim Statement. The Socialists want the Chancellor to go even farther and put himself on rec- ord as seeKing no-war indemnity, and there is a strong Socialist movement to force the Chancellor to formulate \Wer- many’s war aims specifically as the in- evitable basis for further peace propa- ganda. The Socialists also hint at trouble if their demands are not complied with speedily, the present temper of the So- cial-Democrat masses being such as to cause justifiable concern to the imperial Government, which has just had a fore- taste of the strike possibilities, even though revolution is unthinkable. The conservatives and other annexa- tionists are putting up a fight against the Socialist and Democratic efforts to force the Chancellor to side openly with them. The conservative publicists ana leaders see the Fatherland driving toward the brink of the abyss, and in Patriotic alarm brand the Socialist, tide as catastrophic if allowed to con- tinue. They call upon the Chancellor to play the strong man and make a front against the Socialist menace. while Bethmann-Holweg, vainly try- ing to pour the oil of semi-official rhetoric in the Nord Deutsche Alige- maine Zeitung on the ruffled parti- San sea, is continuing his policy of delay and procrastination in the mat- ter of war aims and peace conditions, thus satisfying neither side. While not making himself any more loved by the Conservative and pan- Germans, he is still further alienating his already disillusioned Liberal and Socialist supporters. Throughout the present peace controversy I have heard not one good word said for the Chancellor, whose position is appar- ently becoming one of isolation.

TP UMUC I TOENGLAND ON Hid RECEPTION HERE Progress of Negotiations Will Be “Joyous News for British People,”’ He Says. —-— | WASHINGTON, April 27. — Arthur James Balfour, head of Great Britain's mission here, today sent to England his first report of the reception accorded the commission and the progress of ne- gotiations, which, it was stated on be- half of the commission, would be “very joyous news for the British people.” This, Mr. Balfour's first report, will be made public through the London offi- cial press bureau. Mr. Balfour, it was stated, is eager to make the whole situation a matter of , popular knowledge and interest in both | Goteitrles and to lay not only before the i\twe Governments, but before the two ‘peoples through the press all possible ‘detaila except of course military and naval information. ' Rear Admiral Sir. Dudley R. & de Bee was today pfeserited by Secre- ‘tary Daniels at the Navy Department to ‘the heads of all the various bureaus for an intimate discussion with the spe- 'cialists on each | Aine as. to submarines, ) patrol, blockade, construction and kin- ‘dred subjects. Formal conferences of | the heads of the commission from which major announcements will be issued are not now expected. On the other hand, there will be constant informal conferences of individuals charged with the various aspects of the situation at which no definite decisions may be reached at the moment. These confer- ences will result in agreements which, when approved, will be made public so far as possible. Lord Cunliffe, Governor of the Bank of England, went to New York today to confer with Various bankers. The change in status of this country from a neutral loaning money and financing sales through private institutions to an ally loaning money through the Govern- ment and probably also overseeing pur- chases in some way requires a general realignment, Foreign Minister Balfour devoted most of yesterday to arranging the distribution of the subjects to be taken up in conference. The actual French commission could take part. : The discussions are said to have brought about complete agreement by British and American officials as to main principles involved. In addi-+i, tion to the formal statement by Mr. or alliance was sought, and to the financial arrangement which has al- ready produced a $200,000,000 loan to Great Britain, it became known that} Mr. Balfour and Secretary McAdoo had agreed on the general principles affecting such momentous subjects as shipping, banking, trade age, ex- change. aati bee eval abe tlon Dincumned.. saod bares tong te Gaaeamed haar lean officials. The effect of the confer- ences on the naval policy of the Gov- ernment probably will be apparent only in the construction policy. The British officials are known to have submitted detailed information of the submarine situation and it is understood that their Statements have strengthened the view that construction work should be con- centrated upon vessels especially suited pers for combatting the undersea menace. Mr. Balfour passed a busy day at his offices. ! British ernb&ssy, dined at home, ride in the afternoon and paid his clal call ‘upon French visitors. Dr. V. K. Wellington Koo, the Chinese Minister, called on Mr. Balfour in the afternoon on what is génerally consid- ered to have been an important mission: China, having followed the example of the United States in severing relations with Germany, now is on the brink of actual war. Her Premier, Cabinet and Council of Governors of all the prov- inces have voted in favor of war and her Parliament is. said to be practically unanimous. Negotiations have been un- der way for a long time to fix China’s position among the entente nations, and it is thought that Dr. Koo took advan- tage of Mr. Balfour’s presenee here to discuss the situation further, especially along the lines on which he already has discussed it with the American Govern- ment.

LOUIS 29 BELOW QUOTA Only 271 Men of 1200 Wanted Obtained Since Campaign Opened April 1. Two hundred and seventy-one recruits for the United States Navy have been obtained, up to this morning, in the re- cruiting campaign which began April 1, for the raising of a quota of 1200 men, assigned to St. Louis and the St. Louis district. This district includes all Mis- souri except Jackson and Buchanan counties (Kansas City and St. Joseph), and the southern part of Illinois. To fill up the quota, 929 men are needed. The time for raising the quota ends one week from tomorrow. Mayor Kiel, in a proclamation issued yesterday, called attention to the fact that the St. Louts district is the “fourth from the bottom’ in the proportion of its quota which has been raised. He called for enlistments, to rid St. Louis of the re- proach of being a “slacker city.”’ In his proclamation, the Mayor used pound numbers and so made the num- ber recruited somewhat larger, and the number still to be raised smaller than it is. The text of his proclamation is: Mayor's Proclamation. ‘Your country needs 90,000 men for the navy immediately. “St. Louis, especially, and the rest of Missouri with the exception of Jackson and Buchanan counties, and the south- ern part of Lilinois, have been requested to furnish 120 men—this district's share. “We are-today 900 men short of our quota, and we have only seven days more in which to recruit them. The fourth city in the United States in pop- wlation is the fourth from the bottom in recruiting for the navy. This fact, shameful! as it is, has been sent through- out the nation. "Therefore, it is the duty of every resident of St. Louis, the center of this recruiting district, to do everything in his and her power to bring in this city’s | share. “More than 100 men should be recruit- ed in St. Louis each day. I appeal to every citizen to do ‘his bit.’ If you can- not join, if you have no son to offer, vou can speak an@ advise some ambi- tious, clean youth te Visit the navy re- eruiting office, 114 North Seventh street.

The sailors must be volunteers. “Every loyal St. Louisan should put his shoulder to the wheel and pull this city out of the ‘slacker class.’ Lieut. E. D. Langworthy, in charge of paval recruiting, has asked business men to aid the campaign by buying ad- ‘ertising space in the newspapers, and has asked that women who have auto- mobiles use them in getting recruits. One of yesterday's naval recruits was Raiph C. Becker of 688 Raymond ave- nue, son of Mrs. Gus V. R. Mechin, president of the St. Louis Woman's Council.

Hurley Testifies He Was Betrothed to Widow, but She Broke Engagement. Michael J. Hurley of Webster Groves, former secretary of the Central Paint and Supply Co., in a deposition given at Clayton today, testified that he was once engaged to Mrs. Jessie B. Bacon of Gothenberg, Neb., but that she gave him ‘‘a quitelaim deed to his affections.”’ Mrs. Bacon, a widow, is now suing Hurley and officers of the South Web- ster Park Realty Co. to recover $70,000 worth of collateral which she pledged for a real estate loan and which she al- leges was sold without her knowledge to satisfy the loan. Hurley attained notoriety about three years ago when the Baroness Barbara von Kalinowski of Germany sued him for $2,400,000, alleging breach of promise. The suit later was thrown out of court. Since filing her damage suit Mrs. Ba- con has threatened a breach of promise action age Hurley. ays He’s a Farmer Now. At the opening of his deposition today Hurley gave his occupation as farmer. He said he formerly was in the paint and oil business but was now ‘‘unat- tached."" He also volunteered the in- formation’ that he had been a railroad ergineer and conductor and once ran a saloon at Pine Bluff, Ark. W. Christy Bryan, now counse! for Mrs. Bacon, was attorney for Hurley in the Baroness von Kalinowski breach of promise suit. The plain- tiff in that action also was known as “Baroness Bab.” e In answer to questions by Bryan, Hurley said he had known Mrs. Bacon five or six years. : We became engaged and in 1912, the engagement lasted seven or eight months. It was broken in June, I believe,” said Hurley. “Didn't you get a release from her in October, 1914," asked Bryan. “No, the engagement was broken by Mrs. Bacon.” Hurley testified he first Bacon at the Continental Paris in 1912 and “saw more or less of her after that.” He left Paris in July or August, 1912, and later she met him in New York and he saw her frequently, he said. “Did you see her in the Mullanphy Hospital in St. Louis when you were a patient there?” “Yes.” “Did you see her frequently after that?” “From then until she gave me a quit claim deed to my affections 1 saw littie of her.” Hurley testified that he arranged to make a loan of $35,000 to Mrs. Bacon on property which she owned in Nebraska and that. he furnished the money for the loan, though it was made | another name because he did not want Mrs. Bacon to know of his financial condition. “Why was that loan made?’ asked. “T arranged it as an inducement for her to drop a contemplated breach of promise suit and turn over letters I had written to her.”’ “Did you see her of your own free wii: at the Mullanphy Hospital?’ “! did not,”’ Hurley replied. “She broke into my room at various times, notwithetanding the interference of doc- tors and nurses. She ~wanted me to leave the hospital and go with her to some place in Maine.’’ Reverting to the engagement, Hurley said: “I didn’t break the engagement 1913, met Mrs. Hotel in he was eff. She did it, because IL ‘wouldn't leave the hospital. She broke it off and I never permitted it to be put on again.” Hiurley said the first time he saw Mrs. Bacon after leaving the hospital was when she went to the Jefferson Hotel ard demanded that he see her. Had Dictaphone Put In. Addressing Attorney. Bryan, he said: “That was when you and I had a dicta- phone put in an adjoining room for my protection. It was about the time of the Baroness Bab suit. I tried to get Mrs. Bacon not to have anything to do With that crowd of adventurers.’’ Hurley testified that up to that time he thought Mrs. Bacon was financialiv “well fixed,’’ but that it developed at the Jefferson Hotel interview that she s ‘“‘broke.’’ Hurley testified that he got part of his letters back from Mrs. Bacon at one time and part at another time, but he had to threaten to foreclose on the $35,000 loan before she would consent to give them back. When he called off the foreclosure, he said, Mrs. Bacon gave him the balance of the letters and a quitclaim deed to his affections.” “I destroyed the letters,” “Why did you do that”’’ “I wanted to forget about it.” EAST ST, LOUIS SENTIMENT | FOR CONSCRIPTION BY 4 TO | Woman, Two Pastors, Retail Mer- chant and Physician Give Views on Question, Following the action of the Board of Directors of the East St. Louis Chamber of Commerce in advising Congressmen and Senators to vote for the conscription bill, a Post-Dis- patch reporter, yesterday sought ex- pressions of opinion on.the measure from persons selected at random. with the following result: Mrs. Leslie Allen, president of the Woman's Civic Federation: I believe in conscription. I think it is the only way. My only son will be eligible for service under it. The Rev. T. S. Bannan of St. Jo- seph'’s Catholic Church: -I think that if a majority of the people want war they should be able to raise the nec- essary army by the volunteer system. George Seibert, president of the Re- tail Merchants’ Assocfation: Con- scription is the only plan to raise an army. The other way takes the fel- lows who will work first, and leaves the loafers, who are no zood, at home. The Rev. George W. Allison, First Baptist Church: I strongly favor con- scription. It is the logical conclusion of democracy. The welfare of the whole demands that the individual subvert his feelings whog he is op- posed to the great majority. The volunteer plan always has been a failure. W. R. Raney, physician: I spent three months on the western front with the Red Cross, and I know that conscription is the only practicable plan. 45 MEN ENLIST IN RESPONSE TO ILLINOIS CHAPLAIN’S JEER He Questioned Whether Anyone at Enthusiastic Meeting Would Go to War.

The recruits joined the army, navy and marine corps. The meeting was full of enthusiasm when Capt. Irving Goff McCann, the chaplain, rose to speak. ‘You have worked yourself into a fine fervor of patriotism,”’ he said, “but I'll venture to say there is not a man in the crowd who intends to show his patriotism by enlisting.” A recruiting Sergeant stood in the rear of the hall and #4 men answered the chaplain’s challenge by making applica. tion for enlistment. he said. ns ] ~Photographs FIELD MARSHAL JOFF RE.

If the applications are approved there the candidates will be notified by mail where to present themselves for exam- ination. On passing the test, they will be. eligible for the course, all the ex- pense of which, including transporta- tion, food and clothing, is borne by the Government. A bill pending in Con- gress, if passed, will in addition provide officers, Save Eggs Now for N ext Winter Coat With Egg-O-Latum—kKeep Per- fectly—Use When Worth Double or Treble. , Remember what you paid for eggs last winter—40 cents to 60 cents a dozen? They'll be higher next win- ter, because hens are fewer and the demand greater. Preserve spring eggs now. Means a saving of 20 to 40 cents a dozen next December and January, or a profit of 100 per cent to 200 per cent on your money. Egg-O-Latum can be applied at the rate of one dozen eggs per minute and at a cost of 1 cent per dozen. There is no evaporation, no air-cell, no contracted odors, no deteriora- tion; the yolk remains whole and in the center of the eggs: poaching, boiling, frying and beating as if un- der a week. It is guaranteed to keep fresh nine months to a year so that cannot be told from eggs laid within a week. Couldn’t Tell From Fresh “T tried out a jar of Egg-O- Latum last summer and it worked fine: used the s in winter and you couldn't tell them from fresh eggs. — Ogden Feed Co., Ogden, Utah.’ “Please send me two jars of ‘Egg-O-Latum. I have used five jars and find preservative very satisfactory. Have also distrib- uted some among various Cath- ‘ olic institutions, namely: 8&t, * Louis, Mo.; Waterloo, Ia.; Kirk- wood, Mo. They all think very highly of the preparation.—Rev, A. V. Nicolas.’’ Don’t pay exorbitant prices for eggs next winter. Begin preservin now, before the moulting season an hot weather. Little trouble; no risk. Beat the food speculators. Sell your surplus at the fancy prices. -O-Latum is pre in 60- cent jars, enough for 60 dozen At dealers or malled pay of $100 a month for those taking the training. Candidates are: urged to obtain their application blanks today, as the corre- spondence with Chicago may consume several days. Maj. Goode announced that he would close the examinations here next Thursday, and that in the meantime es will conduct tests from 10 a. m. every morning until as late an hour at night as is necessary. Every man between the ages of W® years and » months, and 4, who satis- fies the examining officers as to his edu- cational equipment, personality, physi- cal fitness and probable ability to win the respect of officers and men, is eligi- ble to the cffer. Previous military ex- perience is 'esired, but total lack of it is no bar. A considerable proportion of the applicants here have been college men, but many men of high school training have been accepted. At the First Regiment Armory during the morning Capt. Lochlin W. Caffey, U. 8S. A., exumined and accepted seven applicants. Most of them were college students. At Jefferson Barracks Capt. O. H. Sampson had one examination scheduled for the afterr:oon. Maj. Goole announces that most of the men taking the course at Fort Riley will b2 certain to obtain commis- sions, although some, it is feared, may prove inadequate to the demands of the service. “The Government is hard up for of- ficers,’’ Maj. Goode said, ‘‘and will be liberal and punctilious in awarding cred- its. When a man has. passed the tests here, it is almost certain that he will win a commission." Capt. Sampson stated that passing the examination is virtually equivalent to assurance of a commission, if the Fort Riley training course is taken. Accord- ing to the proficiency of the aspirants in the course, they may win commis- sions ranging from Second Lieutenant to Major in the Officers’ Reserve Corps of the Regular Army. Whether they will carry these commissions into the new army has not yet been worked out, but the men trained in. the camps are expected to Be called upon to officer the first 500,000 troops raised, or to Ail vacancies caused by casualties in the regular army. Camp fer Four s&s The encampment at Fort "Tiley will represent the four states of Missouri. Kansas, Oklahoma and Colorado. Other camps in the Middle West beginning May 8 are two at Fort Benjamin Harri- son, for Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky; two at Fort Sheridan, for Illinols, Mich- igan and Wis¢onsin, and one at Fort Snelling, for Minnesota, lowa, North and South Dakota and Nebraska. Each camp will receive a maximum number of 2500 attendants. The object of each camp is the train- ing and selection of officers for a full division and one additional cavalry regi- ment. The attendants will be divided into 16 infantry companies for the first month, and all will be trained alike for that period. At the beginning of the second month they will be organized, according to the preferences stated by candidates in their applications, into nine infantry companies, two cavalry troops, three artillery batteries and one engineer company, for the remaining two months. The attendant must sign an oath of enlistment for three months, but’ this beyond the period of the encampment except as a commissioned officer of the : ‘ pledge imposes no obligation to serve! class of military material, both physi-~ cal and mental.

And I desire to thank also the press of the United States, represented by you. I fully realize the ardent and disinterested help you have given by vour tireless propaganda in the cause of right; I know your action has been incalculable. Gentlemen, I thank you. ‘We have come to this land to salute the American people and its Govern- ment, to call to fresh vigor lifelong frendship, sweet and cordial in the ordi- nary course of our lives, and which these tragic hours have raised to all the ardor. of .brotherly love—a_ brotherly love which in these last years cof suffer- ing has multiplied its most touching ex- pression. You have given help, not only in treasure, in every act of kindness and good will. For us your children have shed their blood, and the names of your sacred dead are inscribed forever ii Sur hearts. And it was with a fuil knowl- edge of the meaning of what you did that you acted. Your inexhaus‘ible ren- erosity was not the charity of the for- tunate to the distressed; it was an af- firmation of your conscience, a reasoned approval of your judgment. “Its National Industry.” “Your fellow countrymen knew that, under the savage assault of a- nation of prey which has made of war, to quote a famous saying, its national indvstry. we were upholding with our incompar- able allies, faithful and valiant to the death, with all those who are fighting shoulder to shoulder with us on the firing line, the sons of indomitable En- gland, a struggle for the violated rights of man, for that democratic spirit which the forces of autocracy were attempting to crush throughout the world. We are ready to carry that struggle on tc the end. “And now, as President Wilson has said, the republic of the United States rises in its strength as a champion of right, and rallies to the side of b'rance and her allies. Only our descendants, when time has removed them suffi- ciently far from present events, will be able to measure the full significance, the graidour of an historic act, which has sent a thrill through the whole world. ‘From today on all the forces of free- dom are let loose. And, not only vic- tory, of which we are already assured. is certain; the true meaning of victory is made manifest: it cannot be merely a fortunate military conclusion to this struggle, it will be the victory of mora)- ity and right, and will forever secure tha existence of a world in which all our children shall draw free breath in full peace and undisputed pursuit of their labors. “To accomplish this great work. which will be carried to completion, we are about to exchange views with the men in your Government. best qualified to help. The co-operation of the renublic of the United States in this world con- flict is now assured. We work together as free men, who are resolved to save the ideals of mankind.”’ ~~ .

To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retir- ing; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more ap- plications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of ‘the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work.—ADV. sermon day and night. ‘Stand behind President Wilson in his emergency war: measures and tnen heip eract universa!' miiitary training legislation as a perma- nent national policy’—this is our cry.

Gross, returned from Washington a few days ago,with re- ports that while the attack upon selec- tive conscription was sharp and bitter, there was little doubt but that President Wilson would have his way. “While in Washington Mr. Gross con- ferred with Senator Chamberlain, chair- man of the Senate Committee on Mili- tary Affairs, and with other prominert members of Congress, and was informed that slowly but to a certainty public opinion wis affecting the congressional mind,’’ continued Fairchild. “From re- ports from Washington, therefore. and from field men in the South, Southwest and Rocky Mountain states, where anti- conscripticn sentiment recently was strong, it is now demonstrated beyond any doutt that nine ouc of 10 daily rewspapers 2re wholesouledly suppor: - ing the President, that most of the weekly press is just as patriotic and that at least 60 per cent of the population, rural and urban, is behind himm.’’ Tuberose lc each.e Grimm & Gorly.

‘ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1917. ee me LT TS LL A ae Fee = $50,000 00004 | WHL BE MADE BY 1S. TO BELGIN That Country to Share Equally With Italy in America’s Aid to Allies in War. By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 27.—Belgium is to share the bounty of the United Statcs on an equal footing with other nations at war with Germany. The amount to be loaned to the Be!- gian Government has not been definitely determined, but it will approximate $5), - 000,000, about the same sum which it is proposed to loan to Italy, whose needs are very pressing. Belgium and Italy come first in the calculations of this Government, with Russia next. Negotiations are proceed- {ng between Washington and Petro- grad, through Arnbassador Francis, t« determine the sum the new Russian de- . mocracy requires at once. While ‘in official circles there prevails an earnest aesire to give the preference to France, for sentimental and practicu! reasons. her momentary needs are not so acute as are those of Belgium, Italy and Russia. The recent loan of $150,,000000. nego- tiated by France in this country, and for which she was compelled to pay a high rate of interest, has temporarily relieved her requirements in the money line. But France is to be treated gen- erously. She can ask anything within reason and it will be provided witn the greatest pleasure by the United States. Just what she does need wil! be determined at the conference to be held between Secretary McAdoo, M. Viviani, the executive head of the French Commission, and Ambassador Jusserand. The French Government has indicated its desire to have any help from this Government to take the form of a loan on equal conditions with its allies, in- stead of a gift, such as has been pro- posed by many thousands ef citizens as an appreciation of the great service ren- dered by the people of France during the struggles for American independ. ence, The original plan constdered by this Government was to turn over to Great Britain a large part of the $3,000,000,000 set aside by Congress for the twofold purpose of increasing the pressure on Germany and relieving the necessities of her enemies. Since the coming of the British and French Commissions, however, the Government has decided to deal directly with each nation. The suggestion that this be done is under- stood to have come from the represen- tatives of Great Britain, who expressed the desire to be relieved of the burdens which their country assumed since the beginning of the war in financing her allies. Belgians Give Dinner for Whitlock. HAVRE, April 27.—The Belgian Cab- inet yesterday gave a dinner in honor of Brand Whitlock, the American Minister to Belgium, to welcome his arrival in Havre.

He had a push but- ton in the box connected with a buzzer in his wife’s room upstairs. Mrs. Fuqua heard the buzzer and called for help from a window. pass- erby ran in and released Fuqua, but the robbers had fled, taking about $50 from the cash register. Joseph D. Frick Jr., 26445 Maiden lane, a customer, was talking to Fuqua when three men entered and covered them with revolvers, forcing both into the 1 icebox. ~ STLoUs POST- DISPATCH One of the men examined a $12 diamond stud which Fuqua was wearing. Fuqua told him the stoné was “phony” and he did not take it. Saloon keepers at various times have devised plans for giving an alarm when put in the icebox by robbers. One, several years ago, had a telephone in- stalled in the box so that he could call for the police. Others have kept re- volvers in their iceboxes and have shot through the glass doors at robbers who had made them prisoners. Rabbi J. Leonard Levy Dies. PITTSBURG, April 27.—Rabbi J.

From the New York Sun. “The sun of Champ Clark has set, definitely and finally without hope of another rising, Never before has the nation been able so clearly t® gee that the intrigues which in 1912 deprived Qlark of a nomination he had fairly won operated ae if they had béen providentially inspired for the national good. For him, after this Congress, in which he is but a petty force for evil, shall have ended, there is nothing left but the dry rot which overtakes the discredited and repudiated politician. He-has committed political hara- karri. “So far as Missourians are concerned,” said ' Clark, “there is very little difference between a conscript and a convict.”’ So much the worse for Missourians if this mon- strous assertion were true, But it is not. Itisa wd and treacherous lie, intended to support a o-German vote at the expense of the reputation he Speaker’s constituents for intelligence and triotism. Facts readily marshalled disprove it. All the leading newspapers of Missouri are for the principle of the selective draft. A poll of the laryger centers of the State just completed shows a majority of five to one against the volunteer system. Mexico, the largest town in Clark’s dis- trict, was apparently unanimous against it, so far as the expressions of representative men could indicate. Yet Champ Clark, long honored by Missouri and by his party, has the effrontery to compare the conscript with the convict, to declare that for the Government to say to an eligible and patriotic citizen: “I call you to my defense,” is to put upon one thus highly honored “the slur of being a conscript!” This is enough of Clark. Between his ingrained Bourbontsm, which stopped his intellectual prog- régs 30 years ago, and his pro-Germanism, which was notorious at the time the McLemore resolu- tion was pénding in the House, he is unfit for in- fluential place today. Pique and jealously have made him antagonize the President’s policies continually. The antagonism has been futile, of course, and could hitherto be ignored. Even im this instance his attack on the vital measure for the defense of the nation will prove ineffective, but it must not be ignored. It must be resented and repudiated. The passage of the draft law, which is clearly foreshadowed, and which is all important to our national safety, will be the first step in this repudiation. It is a long time before the next election of Representatives, but when the time comes aréund the nation is likely to forget that the Demo- cratic Speaker, the Democratic floor leader and the Democratic chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs all united to deny to the United States the means of defense against a menacing ané@ cruel enemy. For this betrayel of the nation to the foe not only Champ Clark, but the party responsible for him will surely be held to stern aceount. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Denounces ‘‘Die Amerika.’’ To the Bditor of the Post-Dispatch. gee “Die Amerika” assails the Catholic Arch- bi nrg for pledging the support of the Catholics of America to help this country, I think “Die Amerika” ought to call thetr paper “Die Berlin.” Anyone who objects to either Catholics or any other religion helping this country ought to be sent back where they belong. The Catholic Arch- bighop does well to “brand them as enemies of ee om,” AN AMERICAN CATHOLIC. ‘ in im Lafayette Park. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. tt is surprising to American citizens living in thé vicinity of Lafayette Park that there is no flag flying on ite flag pole. This absence of a flag has continued for two months. Another as- tonishing thing is that the park faces Mayor Kiel’s home and that he has not arranged to have @ Mag hung. Why not take down the flag pole if we cannot have a flag or ‘pass the hat’ and any loyal American will contribute for a flag. A LOYAL AMERICAN, Ul 3 7) Women to Arms! rcltbe Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Should women take to arms’? They will if men stand back and they will rule and save our land with women's strength. Now, men, take note or we owill vote to seve our flag. Come, now, men - in shame, you “slackers.” Girls, beware like those, stand up alone and help your in this time of need of war. MRS. C. M. W. the Kaneas City Star. n't you take a chair?’ n no, a always feel that I can talk America } WORK FOR THE NAVY. The navy must be recruited by the volunteer system, not only for this emergency, but for the war. No provision is being made for a selective draft system for the navy. The number of men it needs is so much less than required for the army and its service is so attractive that it is not be- lieved conscription will be necessary. The young men who volunteer for the navy will not be drafted into the army. hey will avoid conscription and will rank as volunteers. The quota of the St. Louis district is 1200 men of whom 900 are lacking, with seven days remain- ing in which to recruit them: St. Louis should easily supply 100 men a day for this service. One of the worst features of the volunteer sys- tem are the bitter anti-slacker campaigns in which men of honor, patriotism and sensibility are unnecessarily humiliated. It frequently hurts men who are not eligible and drives to enlistment | men who should not enlist, at least, until other groups less useful in other fields and with less home responsibilities are exhausted. We do not believe there is need for this kind of a campaign in St. Louis. There is need for en- ergetic, systematic work in finding the young men who ought to enlist and impressing upon them the duty and privilege of serving the country in the ravy. There are thousands of this class in St. Louis and the surrounding district. As the Mayor suggests, St. Louisans who cannot enlist or who have no sons to offer should urge young men friends who are eligible to enlist. Every St. Louisan can and should help in this work. Let us prove that there is no lack of pa- triotic spirit and willingness to serve in any field where service is needed. The recruiting station is 114 North Seventh street. Pack it with eligible recruits. = = % a ae German submarines missed four’ succulent prizes in the past few days, the two steamers carrying the French and British commissioners, the 32,000-ton freighter Statendam on its maiden trip and the Dutch steamer that brought $2,000,- 000 in diamonds to New York. = = '-~ - ‘*FOOD HOGS.’’ War and possible food stringency has brought to the front a new kind of patriot, the patriot who ‘conserves’ the food supply by filling his cellar for his own benefit. The number of these patriots and the extent of their “conservation” is only limited by their purchasing capacity, the quantity of foodstuffs on the market or the will- ingness of dealers to sell to them. The effect of this sort of patriotism is to pre- cipitate precisely the condition which the coun- try is trying to escape. Cellars of the few filled with food means mouths of the many not filled with food. Full cellars here and there mean empty cellars everywhere else. Buying up and storing food creates an artificial scarcity which imposes a8 many hardships as real scarcity. Many grocers, more patriotic than their cus- tomers, are refusing to sell them supplies in the quantities they desire, but in many cellars and pantries staples enough to last for months are stacked up. The resultant scarcity, even though it is artificial, forces the prices higher and high- er. Poor people who cannot afford to fill their cellars have to pay the artificially produced high prices. Distributors of food products say that there is enough, with possibly a few exceptions, to supply the reasonable needs of everybody until the next crops are available, if each takes only his own share. The present serious shdrtage of some staples and the prospect of greater scarcity -are caused by those who take their own shares and the shares of others. “Food hogs,” at such a time ing at the nation’s sustenance. = = , ae cme as this, are strik- A Socialist Democrat rose in the German Reichstag the other day and began making a speech about the distress in Prussia. He was refused permission to continue. Sounds just like a meeting of the Duma before the final metamorphosis. = = i a A A SHOW-DOWN IN PATRIOTISM. The lamentable showing on the part of the Bast is the conspicuous feature of a comparative statement issued at Washington on volunteers for military service from the different states. The comparison is. made, of course, according to population, the only way such a comparison could be made. Missouri’s war quota of new recruits is placed at 6586, of which it had fur- nished, in the third week after the declaration of war, 12315, or 19.9 per cent. Missouri, in the list of 48 states, stands thirteenth in the per- centage of recruits furnished, a low enough rank, but no Eastern state stands higher. Indeed, the which is sixteenth. Most much farther down the list. New York has furnished 2677 recruits,"but with its great population this was only 14.6 per cent of the quota assigned to it and its rank is twenty- fifth. No THastern state except Pennsylvania stands above New York. Massachusetts is thirty-fourth and Maine thirty-sixth. Vermont makes the poorest showing of all, having fur- nished but 18 of the 710 recruits expected of her, or 2.5 per cent, and standing forty-eighth. The contrast with this showing of the West, and especially the Far West, is striking. Nevada, first in the list, had furnished 94.4 per cent of its quota. Oregon, Indiana and Utah stand next: Illinois is fifth. Kansas, supposedly pacifist, is sixth and Georgia seventh. The South, outside of Virginia, the Carolinas and Mississippi, which are about on a level with the average in Eastern states, makes, in fact, an excellent showing. In its assumption of guardianship over the patriotism of America, the presse of the East has repeatedly expressed grave misgivings about the interior of the country, its anxiety increasing in ratio of the distance of a state from the At- Eastern states are j lantic: The eltislel tate shows tet W:duere 16) any pacifist territofy, it must be looked for east ensmsninneanenanenaeet wad ete eee Senatiiaiaiateadatnsietaemdeenienmenngenmiineinesnennciiatinnnniit er Ser ee neiidhinaiindi SanEneiaiie 3 : Neat a 7 4 : Sn ; i 2% Hastern State of nearest rank is Pennsylvania, | of the Alleghanies.

A, Li di "SS A PROVEN FAILURE. During the period from April 1 to 24—more than three weeks—the Government had received $2,007 enlistments for the army by the voltnteer system, out of 184,000 called for. In short, in three weeks and three days, 16.1 per cent of the men sought for had been recruited. If enlistments continued at the same rate it would take, at least, five months to obtain a full quota of 184,000 men. But the rate of enlistments invariably ‘diminishes with time. obtain men. After the men have been enlisted idee must be trained for months. About a year would be re- quired to recruit and train an army of 184,000 men. ; How long would it take to enlist and train 1,000,000 men by the volunteer system? While the mossback, addlepated Senators and Representa- tives who oppose the selective draft bill are prais- ing the volunteer system and demanding a test of it the proof of the failure of the-volunteer system is written in the recent records of the Government recruiting stations. It is written in the recent experience of England as it has long been written in the pages of history. The volunteer system of raising armies is a demonstrated failure. i i he — Sa THE REICHSTAG SENT HOME. The Reichstag met under conditions very sim- ilar to those under which the Duma met six weeks ago. Industrial strikes, food riots, demands for political reforms, protests against the conduct of the war were all expressions of various forms of national unrest. Violent demonstrations and il- luminating exposures were predicted for the ses- sion of the Reichstag, just as they had been pre- dicted for the session of the Duma. Then, to make the parallel complete, the imperial authorities prorogued the Reichstag until May, just as the Duma was prorogued to delay an impending crisis. The German temperament differs from the Slav- onic. Perhaps democracy is not yet nerved to strike at Berlin. But after the blows autocracy has received of late and with the Petrograd prece- dent so fresh, it must have required all the as- surance German imperialism possessed to dam up the outlet of discontent by sending the Legis- lature home. = = = vy REMEDIES FOR PRICE EXTORTION. A congressional inquiry into prices results in this verdict: No just ground exists for such prices as are demanded of the consumer for many products at this time. Misleading reports as to shortages, held-up ship- ments and speculative market manipulation are assigned as contributing to the extortion practiced on the public. How much prices are influenced by foreign demand and how little relief would be given by an-embargo can be inferred from the finding that potatoes, eggs and onions, of which exports are almost negligible, have scored the greatest advance in prices. 3 Is there no need to supplement national meas- ures for the control of markets by local agencies? Probably some time will elapse before protection on a country-wide scale is afforded the public as @& necessary part of the war program. While con- sumers are being heavily penalized in the mean- time, does no duty rest on State Attorney-Generals and county prosecuting officers, backed by a for- midable body of law? A writ in equity restraining collusive advances may be made an effective antidote to exorbitant prices. What~-would have happened if the Circuit Attorney had resorted to this remedy to save the public from the hardship of high prices in this market? What would St. Louisans be paying now for sugar, if he had instantly applied it to the sugar dealers, whose advances were made, as the Posi-Dispateh has showed, in defiance of enlarged visible supply? One of the advantages of such proceedings is that they often give results long before they are concluded. Prices come tumbling down as soon as the application for the writ is filed. = = '- You look to the navy to save the United States from invasion and the navy looks to you to man its fighting units. The navy will do its part; will you do yours? ~~ + Oe GERMANY’S OFFICIAL MOTHERS. There are apparently credible reports reaching this country from Prussia that in that land of superior culture the Government has recurred to certain social practices. of the 30 years’ war to retrieve as far as possible the losses in popula- tion. Reverting to the German author, Anton Gindely, in his history of that period, he gays: The greatest difference betwéen the armies of the Thirty Years’ War and those of-a later date is found in the fact that soldiers then took their wives and children with them. : * * * The relation of the soldiers to their wives varied in strength and ;cordiality ac- cording to the person; in general they were rude alliances, which accident formed. and disso: ved. Gindely says that toward the close of the war the army of women and children who followed the soldiers had multiplied beyond belief; and it was this population that was looked upon as in part making good the losses of the war. The discipline of modern armies absolutely for- bids such encumbrances today and it occurs only in such backwood states as that of Mexico, for example. The expedient Germany is said to have adopted today, however, is an official ignor- ing of the institution of marriage, while preaching the universal obligation of motherhood, to supply the fighting strength of the next generation. It is difficult to believe the truth of these stories and yet in a monarchy, still adhering to the prin- ciples of Roman polity, which so exalt the state as an entity above and distinct from the individ- ual, it is wholly logical that the sanctity of mar- riage should yield to the state’s need of fighting men. In such a system of government it is the supreme duty of the people to make every sacri- fice—even of love, honor and self-respect—for the greater glory er . +2 . fi A as XS ¥ ae ‘i After the first] - few weeks it becomes increasingly difficult to} WEST: =" Pn i “ “4 HT POR nD ms ~ SAGER GE: 4 .

When a man says a woman is a good wife he means that she leaves her hus- band judiciously alone at times and | doesn’t attempt to henpeck him, but when a woman Says a woman is a good wife she means that she has got a man tied to her apron strings, and that she tyrannizes over him, for when 2 woman ceases from troubling and gives her hus- band the rest he craves, it is because she no longer loves him and doesn’t care what he does. Without doubt, the reason that the majority of married couples get along So badly together is because they dv not understand each other. They speak foreign tongues, and perhaps nothing’ would do more to promote matrimonial! harmony than for some of our co-edu- cational institutions of learning to estab- lish a chair of domestic languages in which boys and girls could be ‘aught to Speak the same speech. aw (Copyright, 1017. by Wheeler Synd., Inc.) ee ee et teddieeieeaeaenes= —_— i ” World Wearing Wigs Made of Chidess Queues of human hair.

Such a construction, women every- where are seeing, does apply at all times to the home management. This mean- ing includes such a study of every de- tail of household management women shall be prepared to meet suc- cessfully the many problems which con- stantly come up for settlement in their business of making a home. To do this intelligently. women need to under- stand the values of the commodities they must deal with, the qualities which make for durability and serviceability. Such a knowledge requires thought and study. One of the most promising signs of better homes is seen in the recogni- tion which this fact is receiving from women everywhere. Such apprehension of the needs of tne hour has been shown by one club in Chicago, which has already done much toward helping forward the movement ‘for better managed households. The latest step in this direction is the forma- tion of a Home Preparedness Club. “Its purpose,’’ said Miss Lilian Kemp, head of the School of Domestic Science and Art, where this latest experiment is being tried out, “is to offer a course in food values and food buying and ‘substitution, and a parallel course in the simple facts about clothes and the materials used in the household, “TROUBLE ENDED,” WIRTH ASSERTS St. Louis Master Mechanic Gains Five Pounds After Taking Master Medicine Tanlac. _— +o ee Stomach and kidney trouble were T= term ‘‘preparedness’’ has gath- }the twin bugaboos for 20 years of George J. Wirth, 1907 Lynch street, St. Louls, master mechanic for the Otto Signal Co., 3963. Olive street. How Mr. Wirth gained the relief he had long craved by the use of Tan- lac, the Master Medicine, was told by him on April 21. as follows: “I suffered with indigestion and stomach trouble twenty years. Sev- eral times I was in such bad shape that I was unable to work and com- pelled to give up my position. Gas formed in my stomach after eating, causing the most severe pains. I had terrific headaches frequently. My kidneys were in a weakened condi- tion, causing pains in my back. Usually | had to get up four times during the night. “I have taken four bottles of Tan- lac. After finishing the first bottle I noticed a marked improvement, and have since continued taking the med- icine regularly, my condition getting better each day until now I feel like an entirely different man. The%tom- ach trouble has been greatly relieved. the formation of gas and accompany- ing pains being a thing of the past. The kidney trouble also has been re- lieved. My appetite is ravenous and I digest what I eat, too. I no longer have to get up at night on account of my kidneys. I have gained five pounds in four weeks.” Tanlac, the Master Medicine re- ferred to by Mr. Wirth, is especially beneficial for catarrhal affections of the stomach, liver, kidneys and head. nervousness. sleeplessness, loss of appetite, depression of spirits and the like. It is the tonic extraordi- nary and system purifier without a peer. Its use as @ Spring tonic has been tound most efficacious by thou- sands. Tanlac is now being introduced and explained by an expert to the public of St. Louis at the Seventh and St. Charles streets drug store of the Johnson -Enderle- Pauley Co., where large crowds are calling daily. Tanlac also may be obtained at the eight other stores of this firm; the Wolff-Wilson Drug Co.. Sixth and Washington; Keiffer Drug Co., Broadway and Franklin; Medier’s five drug stores; Victor Drug Co.,, and L. O. Goedde’s drug stores, Wellston.

But there are cer- tain things about the making of menus, the values of different kinds of food, and the buying of these foods, which, when once learned, will make it possi- ble for women to manage their house- holds far more successfully than they do at present. : “To do this, we are giving these courses, under the instruction of some of the best experts we can find. We want women to know how to buy, wher to buy, and when to buy, to the best possible advantage. This work should be done in every community. “Women will find, as we have found, that merchants are giad to give house- wives the information they need.- This is especially true with manufacturers of household materials and fabrics of all kinds. “Once let them realize that Women want better goods and better foods, ana are G@etermined to know about them, we have found them eager to co-operate with us in giving that knowledge.’’. ‘“‘Merchants tell me,’ said Mre. Mabol Durrell Bradley, instructor in millinery and dressmaking in the School of Do- mestic Science and Art, “that, just as s00n as women desire serviceable mate- rials, they can get them. The merchants | will not buy pure silks, all-wool cloth | and cottons with fast colors, because women do not seem to care about their wearing quality, so long as they can keep up with the changing styles. ‘Wha: you have to do,’ said a silk manufac- turer to me, ‘is to educate the women to want good silks; then we will furnis” them.’ ‘This can best be done through the schools and clubs. Already some of the schools are introducing courses in the study of fabrics, and this should be done in all the public schools. Women can never buy intelligently until they know something about the manufacture and properties of the different fabrics. Until that time, a few facts which ev- ery woman may learn about fabrics will help her in her buying. ‘“Anvone who gives thought to knows that it is easier at présent to get silks than it is to get woolen gar- ments. The great wool-growing coun- tries of the world today are not raising wool to export. And it is the same, with laces and linen goods, so silk is reall; the economical fabric to buy. “Soveral facts, however, about silks the housewife should know. The cheap silks which crack so easily are weighted with metallic stuffs which are taken up in the dye, and these rot the silk. che presence of these minera!s in silk in ex- cess forces the merchant to sell the goods after a certain fime. “So we have the great ‘bargain sales of silk.’ If every woman would take a sample home first, and put it through a simple test, she would not so often get hold of weighted silk, and find her dress rotting out during its first sea- son. If the silk is weighted, when you apply a match to the sample it will burn slowly. If pure silk, it will burn into a gummy ball and will smel! like hair burning. The presence of metals causes the slow ignition. To test for wool, rave! the edge and apply the fire test. The woo! burns, slowly, and the cotton like wood. “The adulteration of woo) is even worse than that of silk. The 'nanufac- turers put into it what is known as ‘shoddy.’ It is a preparation of old “— Agriculture at, Washington, absut fab- rics of all kinds, and almost any of the many subjects about household manage- ment upon which she may need light.

Those who knew it in the days before the war would hardly recognize in the ruined city of today the famous old town, whieh centuries of history have endeared to the heart of the Frenchman. But “Resurgam’’ is writ- ten over Rheims just as surely as it is written over every other blackened ruil: in Northern France. Rheims has a long history. Many years before the coming of the Roman, in the century before the Christian era, the town known to the Romans by tne name of Durocortum was a place of im- portance. It was, in fact, the capital city of the Remi, the people who made voluntary submission to .Rome, ani earned the special favor of their con- querors by their fidelity throughout the many Gallic insurrections which mark-+¢ the early days of the Roman occupation. During™the centuries which followed, Rheims, inscommon with the rest of the world, enjoyed the benefits of the pax Romana: but, with the decay of the empire and the steady withdrawal of the Roman legions, its troubles began. The Consul Jovinus, an _ influential supporter of the new faith egtablished by Constantine, repulsed the barbarians invaded Champagne in 336; but, years later, the Vandals cap- tured the town, and Attila, the Hun, afterwards put it to fire and sword. Tt was rebuilt, of course, for the burn- ings of cities in those days were -te- garded as almost necessary incidents in their histories, and in 496 Clovis, some timeé@ after his great victory at Sotssons, was baptized at Rheims. Soon afterwards the wonderful legend of the sacred phia! of oil, which was believed ta have been brought by a dove from, heaven for the baptism of Clovis, began to find acceptance. The phial was preserved in the Abbey of St. Remi, and the oil from it came to be used for the consecration at ttheims of the Kings of France. It was here, with oil from the sacred phial, that Joan of Arc caused Charles VII to be consecrated, in 1429 By the Tenth Century, Rheims had become a center of intellectual «culture. The famous Archbishop Adalberon, aid- ed by the monk Gerbert, founded at Rheims schools where ‘‘the liberal arts” were taught, and to the schools ol theims the poor clerk from far and near found his way as surely as to any and every seat of learning. anywhere. which offered him food for thought. So, as a place of learning, as the seat of the premier Archbishop of France, and’ as the holy place of the French monarchy, Rheims waxed in _ import- ance. Its progress, however, was any- thing but peaceful. In the fourteenth |" the midst of the plain between the who some Ww and fifteenth cen- turies the possession of the city was * * Pietory of the City of Rheims * * and the English, and in the days of Henry ltin 1870-1, it was made, by the Germans, .the seat of yeast in 4% cup of lukewarm milk, with ‘ually. course. long im dispute between the French ihe “Catholic League,’ during the cio5- ing years of the. sixteenth century, Rheims experienced all the vicissitudes of the striiggle between the league and of Navarre. It sided with the league, but submitted finally to Henry after the Battle of Ivry, in 1585. During the foreign invasions of 1514. Rheims was taken and retaken; whilst a Governor-General, and “impoverished by heavy requisitions.” In the Rheims of today, in spite of all that the German guns have done. the outstanding feature is the great cathedral. Before the war, it stood easily head and shoulders above the rest of the town, and its two great towers, albeit scarred and shot-ridden, still rear themselves °67 feet above the street below. As for the remainder of the old landmarks, the Mars Gate, th> archiepiscopal palace, the celebrated Church of St. Remi, and many others, there is scant record as to how they have fared.

WASHINGTON, April 27.—Validity of negro segregation ordinances in many cities was argued today before the Supreme Court. The test case was that upon the constitutionality of the Louisville, Ky., ordinance es- tablishing residence zones for whites and blacks. Baltimore, Richmond, St. Louis Ana many Other cities have similar ordi- nances, whose fate depends upon the court’s decision in the present case. Attorneys representing city authori- ties, improvement organizations and negro societies appeared. The Louisville ordinance prohibits negroes from occupying résidences in a block in which whites reside in a majority, and also prohibits white citizens from residing in a block where the majority of residents are negroes, The case was argued once before in the Supreme Court, but no conclu- sion was reported and arguments to- day before a full bench were ordered.

WASHINGTON, April 277. — Many speeches were made in Congress yes- terday on the administration army war bill, the Senate discussing it throughout the day and the House continuing its session until 2:30 this morning. Representative Graham of Pennsyl- vania sharply ;criticised Speaker Clark for saying th@t Missourians saw little difference between the terms conscript and convict. “Shame on the man who would use such language,” he said. “God knows that many a man who is just as brave as any of us has not volunteered.”’ Representative McCormick of Illinois, supporting the draft, declared members should pay no attention to whispers on the floor as to probable effect of their votes on the political future. “Of what consequence is the existence of any of us,’ he said, ‘“‘when the life of soldiers, the present security of the republic, and its future peace may hang on our vote.’”’ In the House the administration forces are confident the volunteer advocates will be routed by a majority of between 40 and 50. With the volunteer substitute out of the way, the majority for the bill is expeeted to be overwhelming. Former Speaker Cannon will be among those talking five minutes for the vol- unteer system. Republican Leader Mann, who favors conscription, probabl’ will not speak, nor will Democratic Leader Kitchin, who is understood to oppose the draft. Stone Speaks for Bill. Senators Hale, Beckman, Mvers and Stone supported the administra‘! on bill yesterday and Senator Sherman opposed it. Senator Stone, who concluded the day’s debate in the Senate, said thax although he opposed the declaration of war, he would vote with the President for conscription. He said he believed, however, the bill should be changed to make the ages of those subject to draft 21 to 40 instead of 19 to 26 and that it should contain a provision that the Pres- ident, when peace is declared, must give up his authority to raise an army un- der it. ‘“‘We are needed on the battle line of Europe,’ the Missouri Senator contin- ued. “There must be no halting at home. The President thinks the time is past for experiment. I agree with him. It is imperative that we act at once and get ready with the least pos- sible delay. I am for that plan which will most certainly, speedily and effi- ciently meet the demands of the hour. Pass this bill and he will forthwith enter upon a plan that will not be ex- perimental: its success is assured from: the beginning.” “At War With German People.” Senator Myers predicted that it might be necessary for the United States to recruit 5,000,000 men before victory is won. “War on paper and of dollars only would be a disgrace and make Amer- ica a byword and reproach through hisiory,'’ he said. ‘I believe the Kaiser would rather blow the world into smith- ereens than see defeat. I do not draw a line between the German Government ani German people. We are at war with the German’ people who largely share the Kaiser's determination to win the war at all costs.’’. Representative Madden of [Illinois an- nounced that he and Senator New of Indiana would offer amendments to the army bili to provide, notwithstanding the exemptions it enumerates, ‘each state shall be required to supply its quota in the proportion that its popula- tion bears to the total population of the country.” JUNIOR § CITIZENS TO ORILL First Military Training Will May 6. The Junior Citizens, at a meeting in the old art Museum at Nineteenth and Locust streets last night, voted to take drills in military training under H. C. Simmons, Scoutmaster of the Boy Scouts. The mentbers of the organiza- tion will meet Simmons at the Jeffer- son Memorial May 6 for their first drill. Simmons, in a speech to the members, suggested that all vacant lots in St. Louis should be planted to gardens, and urged the Junior Citizens to do their share, as the Boy Scouts are doing.

WATCH OR A IDEALS STRONGES! ASSET OF ALLIES, AYS GEN. BRIDGES Member dresses American Newspaper Publishers. NEW YORK, Apri! Publishers’ Association will close today. At their annual dinner last night the editors and publishers address by Major-General G. T. M. Bridges of the British War Commission, who fcught at the Marne under Joffre and will return to the front in France at the end of his mission here. Gen. Bridges «xpressed the hope that American troops soon would be fight- ing beside their allies in Europe. The greatest asset of the allies in the war, of British Mission Ad- °7.—The annual convention of the American Newspaper listened to arn FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 21, ‘1917. AA PLR said, is the fact that they are fight | ing for ideals. The aid of the United States wes doubly welcoine because | will strike for the cause of liberty. N. W. Rowell a member of the On- tario Legislature who fought with the Canadian ccntirgent, declared that in the battle of the Marne Joffre had broker the tradition of German mili- tary supremacy and thereby saved cl-i- lization. A plea for conscription and for tlie passage of the army bill was made by James W. Gerard, former Ambassador to Germany. Gera-d urraigned Speaker Champ Clark for ais advocacy of tite volunteer systein aud expressed thanks that “‘sorve beneficient providence which keeps the American people from puiting forward their near s‘atesmen,’’ inter- vened in 1912 to prevent Clark from get- ting the Democratic -nomination for resident. “I was one ci the financia! supporters of Mr. Clark’s campaign,” said Gerard, “‘ard in the light of events I am not sorry that h: wis beaten.” Gen. Bridges’ Address. “You will not expect me to make a speech or to talk at any length,”’ said Gen. Bridges. ‘Talking is not encour- aged in my profession, but I wish to let you gentlemen know how these dem- onstrations of welcome have given us beth sympathy and encouragement. They have made it abundantly clear o— - : a ee eee nt A LL Women! Keep This ¢ on Dresser! Never Let Corns Ache Twice Instantly! Few drops stop corn-soreness, then corns and calluses shrivel, loosen and lift out with fingers—No pain! The world owes thanks to the genius in Cincinnati who discovered freezone, the new ether drug. Tiny bottles of the magic fluid can now be had at any drug store for a few cents. You simply apply a few drops of this freezone upon a tender, faching corn or a hardened callus. In- atantly the soreness disappears and shortly you will find the corn or cal- Ins so loose and shriveled that you lift it off with the rs. Not a bit of pain or soreness is felt when apply: ing freezone or afterwards. It doesn’t even irritate the skin or flesh. For a few cents one = now get rid of every hard corn, soft corn, or corn between the toes, as well as painful calluses on bottom of feet.

Had it not been so we could not have continued the struggle. It was plain to us from the beginning when, in 1914, Austria, by wantonly at- ° tacking little Servia, and Germany by be well and stylishly dressed.

We do not fight for territory, indemnities or nationa! ag- grandizement, but for an ideal—the free- dom of mankind and the right to live of small nations—and those who fight for ideals go on striving until they at- tain them or’perish in the attempt. “The chief reason that the allies so heartily welcome your great country into the arena of war is that you see things with our eyes, and following up the in. estimable services you have rendered us in the past, you are determined to mobilize your vast resources and to strike for the cause of liberty and to make the world a decent and a fit place to live in. . “People out here have expressed sur- prise that our friendship with the French has stood the test of nearly three yeags of war, but this is not sur. prising, for the war is not a war of races, but a war of ideas, and we ere fighting together against an armed doc- trine. We love the French soldiers and I think the affection is mutua]l—widely different as we are in characteristics. “Take an attack—the Frenchman goes forward over the parapet shouting ‘Vive La France’ or other patriotic crises.

MANAGER HAS HARD TASK St. Louis Fans Think Huggins’ Youngsters Will Beat Out Chicagoans. CARDINALS’ GAME OFF. It was announced at noon to- day that the opening game of the Cardjpal-Cub series, scheduled for this ernoon, had been post- poned because of raim and cold weather. By W. J. O’Connor. Now comes Fred Mitchell, who was George Stallings’ ‘‘right eye’’ before he was demoted to the rank of mana- ger in Chicago, with a funny collec tion of cuckoos, commonly called Cubs, to investigate the Cardinal up- tising. He will tarry five days. Mitchell has on tour a rare collection, of Cubs and several old bruins, to the “number of 27. Vic Saier is at home ‘with a broken icg and probably will adorn the disabled list for the greater ‘part of the season. But as they stand the Cubs seem to be the only team to dispute the Cardinal claim to the supremacy of the West. Mitchell lately acquired Fred Merkle from Brooklyn for first base, while he has Larry Doyle, once a Giant, on sec- ond. Rollie Zeider, subbing for Wort- man, who is hurt, is’ rattling around shortstop like a buckshot in an empty pail, while erg Deal, discarded by the Browns; is showing up at third. Harry Wolter, a furmer Yankee, and Leslie Mann, once with the Braves, and later in the Federal League, are associ- ated with Cy Williams in the outfield. It’s a Team of Cast-Offs. With one exception—Cy Williams, a collegian—the Cubs are, therefore, a team of discards, who have been called from the four corners of the U. S. A. to maintain Chicago's franchise in the Na- tional League. Of course there are some likely looking recruits, notably. Harold (Rowdy) Elliott, a catcher, and a few nape omg but the present brand of Cubs s the most colorless collectoin that ever has represented Chicago. The og ag | staff has some dependa- ble props in Jim Vaughn, Phil Douglas (who made good once before in the Na- tional League only to run foul of the disciplinary code), Claude Hendrix, Al Demaree and Mike Prendergast, while for second-string catchers there are Art Wilson and Jimmy Archer, the lat- ter a fallen star. But nowhere in the Cub team is there a crimson streak of pennant possibility. A Hopeless-Appearing Club. If Mitchell can prod this club into action and sustain the morale through a long hard season, he will rightful- ly be hailed as a master mind. His chances seem much less roseate than Miller Huggins’, who has a team prac- tically made up of youngsters, fired with ambition and possessed, too, of pase ekg heb cago as no two layers w would trade for Sertnshy, on mn fielders we would swap for Jack Smith or no five catchers we would take for either Snyder or Gonzales. And this eamy the railbirds are inclined to be- ave, is the only Western club that should dispute Hug’s claim to fifth place next October.

Many futures have been mapped out for Simpson by considerate athletic clubs of the East and Middle-West, some of them baited with lucrative jobs. The New York Athletic Club has been especially eager to annex Robert; but he will be content to till the soil, it is now said. & ou - Simpson After New Marks. ODAY Simpson is entering compe- tition in new events—new until this season for him. One of these 18 the quarter-mile hurdles, probably the most exhausting of ali sprinting competitions, and the mile relay The 440-yards record is now held by W. H. Meanix, of the Buston Athletic Association. He established a mark of 54 3-5 seconds, in a special event at Boston, on the same day and track that Norman Taber lowered the mile mark, in a paced event. In this va- riety of hurdle event the obstacles are placed 40 yards from the start and finish, with 16 hurdles, at 40-yard in- tervals. Simpson is the fastest sprinter probably that ever took up the hurdling game. He is a 10-second man at-the hundred and 22 sec- onds or better at the 220. He is the fastest man on the mile relay team and can do the 140 in close to 49 seconds. He is the man of all men to set a new hurdle mark at this distance, if track and weather conditions are right. If he accomplishes the task Simp- son will have to his credit the re- markable achievement of having sot tiled the third. He set the 120 vards mark, and has equaled Kraenzlein’s mark in the 220. ~ ia * More Irony of Fate.

Simpson's college work will be done in Juné, after which it will be ‘‘back to the farm,’’ for him, there to exploit some of his agricultural learning in swelling the nation ’3 tooth and nail—DLarry Doyle and Fred Merkle. It is an undoubted fact that the future of the Cubs is put squarely up to these two men, discarded by the New York Giants. . _ Bleeding Mr. Weeghman. Doyle broke his leg last vear, after his transfer to Chicago but seems to be goine well again. Merkle, after a sojourn with the champion Brook- lyn team, passed on to Chicago. He was still good enough to be valued at $13,000 by the Chicago owners—a price that represented the team’s ter- rible need, rather than Merkle’s effi- ciency. With these two passing stars, Jimmie- Archer, some fair pitchers and a rag-tag, bobtail assembly of regulars, the once-famed Cub ma- chine must oppose its old enemy, the Giants, now reckoned to have one of the strongest clubs in either major league. ° . * Former Giants in Their Prime. OYLE and Merkle ought to have some good baseball ieft in them. They both broke into the Giants in 1906 and therefore are going on their eleventh major league season. This is not more than the average life of a star in the major leagues today, while me~y are to be found still playing after a longer stay in thé relect circle. ‘ ‘ ; Johnny Evers, himself a former Cub and still a hater of the Giants, officially at least, is one of these. Evers is now in his sixteenth big league campaign. Illness has pre- vented him from giving a full sea- son's work, for some time. Even at present he is suffering from rheuma- tism and it is now thought he may not be able to work for the Braves, this season. is 81 and Merkle 29—thus both are really in their prime. What they may have lost in speed ought to be made up in experience. And vet they are written down in New York’s book as hasbeens. We shall see, Bo. For the sake of a good, game sport, Weeghman, we hope they're world beaters. » SOLDAN HAS CHANCE TO LEAD HIGH SCHOOL RACE BY DEFEATING McKIN Cleveland and Soldan will play ‘at High School Pield tomorrow afternvon in a game that will have a distinct bear- ing on the title. Soldan is at present tied with McKinley for the lead, with two victories and no defeats. Soldan has the opportunity to win undisputed possession of first place by defeating Cleveland, as McKinley draws the bye this week. Cleveland, however, must win this game to be classed as con- tenders. They lost their first game to McKinley. Soldan was not classed ag a title prospect } until the Central game Was won.

Run Aground Three Times. Even with the most careful towing. "the ‘‘Success,’’ drawing 13 feet, has run “aground three times, the greatest trou- ‘ble occurring between Natchez and “Greenville, Miss. Capt. D. H. Smith, commander of the “‘Success,’’ who is at Hotel Jefferson, said today that, while he anticipated a prosperous stay here, he would not have undertaken the as- _eent of the river if he had fully real- sized the difficulties of the trip. He _Hiopes to get back to New Orleans: on -oethe “June rise.”’ * The ship reached Carondelet at 4:20 yesterday afternoon and continued up “the river to a point above the free ‘pridge, where it anchored for the night, “tying up at the wharf after daylight. A cablegram was sent to Lloyd's, Lon- “don, with which the ship is insured for ‘$250,000, giving notice of the arrival here. -- An official visit is to be made to the “phip by Mayor Kiel and a delegation, ere it is opened to the public. The “Success*’ was built in 1790, at {Moulmain, in British India. Burman » teak, an almost imperishable wood, was pre material used throughout. The Tmassiveness of the beams and timbers, teas viewed below decks, is a revelation Sin thé soundness and thoroughness of the SHipbuilding of that day, when George III was in the midst of his long “reign, and when George Washington “was serving his first term as President ‘Jof the United States. For the first 12 years of her career, the “‘Success’’ was a merchant ship in the India trade. Marks of a fight with a pirate craft, and of a shot fired upon “her during a mutiny. are still shown. Carried 300 Convicts a Trip. In 1892, the British Government leased the “Success’’ for the transporting of convicts to the Australian penal settle- “Ments, then most commonly known by _ the name of ‘‘Botany Bay.’ More than | $00 convicts, all in irons, were carried cn every trip. Women and boys and girls in their 'teens were among these ~ prisoners, and the ‘“Success’’ was at One time devoted to the oarrying of women convicts. In those days, when the death penalty Was affixed to 145 offenses, transporta- tion was the funishment for such of- ~fenses as the theft of a pork pie or “hatful of apples. No sentence was for “teas than seven years. One group of -#ix men was transported because they “had committed “conspiracy” by con- certedly asking an increase of a shilling “a week in their wages. Because of the confinement and the wretched food, many died on these voy: ages, and cases are related in which {ithe prisoners kept a dead body among or them without: reporting the death, sco “that they might have a little extra food » to divide among them. (a The chains, handcuffs, dungeons and _ flogging implements of the convict ship _ are interesting exhibits. These are de- Selared to be actual relics of the ‘‘Suc- ’ cess” and sister ships, though they were _ not all in the ship when the present “owners obtained it. - Whe “Success” was kept in the con- he service until 1851, when she was which kok “stationed in an Australian bay as a re- *Thetving prison.

The ~ *Success”’ was used, in the ‘60s, as a - women’s prison, then as a reformatory ‘ship. A feeling arose in Australia against the preservation of the ships, carried unpleasant recollections ‘ge to the ancestry of many Australians, and the prison hulks were sold, with _ the stipulation that they were to be Pieeken up.

NEW YORK, April 27.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, says: “The irregularity into which the stock market lapsed today was partly a nat- ural sequel to the week's vigorous spec- ulative rise—the tendency always being to readjust accounts as the week draws to a close—and partly due to increased recognition of various pending uncer- tainties. One of these was suggested by the curious morning news dispatches re- garding the possible sums required for our Government to finance its allies. The tax proposals, too, began to be dis- cussed today more definitely. There was nothing discouraging in the war news. . Big Loans a Factor. “It is reasonable to suppose that the statement from Washington, in this morning's newspaper dispatches, that the United States will probably be called upon to provide $40,000,000 to $500,000,000 a month for its allies, was a conjecture of the correspondents. The recent esti- mate of the British exchequer, con- curred in by well posted New York bank- ers, was that the purchases of materia!s in this country by the allies had amounted at its maximum to 10,000,000 daily. This is a handsome total, but it is very far below $500,000,000 asmonth. “There is no reason to believe that the purchases have increased since the statement of Bonar Law. On the con- trary, they have lately decreased; chief- ly because of the piling up, at shipping points, of supplies already delivered, but for which no sufficient transportation facilities can be obtained. “Tf the $600,000,000-a-month conjecture were correct, it would mean an issue of $6,000,000,000 United States bonds for a single year’s financing of the allies. The law as it stands limits the use of the public credit for such purposes to $3,000,- 000,000. It was observed, when the law was enacted that the last-named sum would not cover a full year’s purchases of American material at the rate of $10,000,000 per day. But that roused no criticism, for the double reason that the purchases were known to be slacken- ing and that it was generally believed that our Government’s advances would in the main be measured by the extent to which the creation of American cred- its had hitherto been found necessary in financing the allies’ purchases. “Their actual placing of their own securities in our markets for the pur- pose slightly exceeded $1,000,000,000. dur- ing the twelve-month past. Our Gov- erninent would probably lend more, be- cause the gold shipments to New York, which settled part of the past year’s bill, were from our viewpoint needless- ly large. But no plausible construction of the purposes of this new plan of financing (short of loans to the allies for their home expenditure) could war- rant any such estimates as those put out this morning.”’ DETAILED REPORT OF DAY'S TRADING IN WALL STREET NEW YORK, April 27.—A firm undertone prevailed at the beginning of today’s opera- tions, important stock showing a disposition to rally from yesterday's late selling move- ment. Metals, equipments and shippin led the advance, the latter being feverish be- Cause of the abandonment of the British blacklist. Central Leather, Virginia-Carolina Chemical and the Western gas shares rose appreciably, with Reading and Union Pacific, but rails in general were irregular and inac- tive. Many initial — were lost in the first half hour’s tra Speculative andl moiongy ruled during the dull first hour, the erratic course of prominent industrials being typical of the general list United States Steel, which opened unchanged at 116%. soon rose a substantial fraction, only to fall back almost a point, from which it rallied, relapsing again later. Other steel shares were variably under ves- terday's final prices. while United Fruit. Ohio Gas, Industrial Alcohol and Maxwell Motors were 1 to 2 points lower. Trading became more active in the second hour on a fresh spurt in Steel. which advanced to 117%. with more moderate gains in metals and rails. Bonds were irregular. Specialties, notabiy fertilizers, monopolized the nominal dealings of the early afternoon at gains of 1 to 3 points. Meanwhile steél and the usual leaders received another set- back, with marked heaviness in General Motors. New York Curb Opening.

Steamehip Merritt LENINE AUDIENCE DRIVEN QUT BY PETROGRAD CROWD Protest Against Exhortation for Ces- sation, of War and His Attack on Government. PETROGRAD, April 2%, via London, April 27.—A small riot was precipitated last night when a crowd drove the audience of the Socialist Lenine into the street as a protest against his ex- hortations for a cessation of the war and his attacks on the provisional Gov- ernment. A score of Lenine’s followers were arrested but the agitator himself remains at liberty. Lenine, who recently returned from exile through Germany, has become the leader of a faction of Socialists who seemingly desire the cessation of the war regardless of the consequences to Russia. He is living in the palace of the famous dancer Kahesinska, a former favorite of the Emperor, from the. bal- conies of which he daily and nightly harangues his followers. It is generally believed that he is in the pay of Germany and, at any rate, his return, facilitated as it was by the German Government, leaves little doubt in the minds of the great majority of Russians that he is working for a sepa- rate peace at the instigation .of Ger- many. His activity is permitted by the Government, which fearsg that his ar- rest would make him a martyr and that he is tess harmful at liberty. -— oe Ow Rea! estate buyers are found through to the Post-Dispatch. |New York Stock Quotations Post-Dispatch by 3 yer North Fourth “re NEW YORK, April 27 Raporisd dally for STOCKS.

At the Palm Garden music was yecorded by one standard-volume; the master craftsman was he who pressed hardest on the keys. It made little dif- ference to the patrons what was picyed; if the “Traumerei’’ could be made to give forth as much sound as the “Buzz Saw Rag,” well, then tet’s have the ‘“Traumerei.”’ It was a warm spring night, the player was tiring and some of the keys failed to hit bed-rock. Reichenbach in the rear of the garden sensed the diminishing volume and strode across the room. ‘Put some pep into it,” he hissed to the perspiring artist. “Where do you think you are at, a funeral or playing to some friends in a hospital ward. Here, Pete, bring him a beer?’ The music stopped abruptly. “Come out of it,’’ rasped the piano ayer, “Say, do you know I’ve been eid lig this thing all night. - Ain't yer got no singing acts or nothin’? What's the idea—trying to cut expenses and make me pull the whole cabaret?’ “No, I ain't,” answered Reichenbach, qn a conciliatory tone. “The teeny sis- ters laid down and even the boy tenor threw me. I just called up the agency though and they’re going to send a snig- er down right away.’’ “All right,”’ growled the pianist, ‘‘but hustle her along quick. 1 feel myself slipping. This gang don’t want no mu- sic, they want drum fire.’’ Fifteen minutes later through the smoke came Reichenbach with the new singer. “This is Miss Smith,’’ said the pro- prietor. “Give him your music, kid. Now, Harris, you can play soft for a while and take a rest."’ ' The planist swiveled about. “Miss————’’ Harris’ puffy lips opened wide and a foolish look came into his ey es. The singer shook her head slowly. The slano player understood. “Come on,"’ cried Reichenbach, have some music.”’ In a thin, tenuous voice, Miss Smith Sang about her home in Tennessee and about apple blossoms in Normandy. At. 1 o'clock the music ceased, but several parties were still about the tables finishing up drinks that had Deen ordered before lid time. ‘In a far corner at a table littered with haif-empty steins, cigarette butts and sandwich ends sat Harris and Miss Smith. “You don’t look very well, Clara.”’ “You don’t look so well yourself, Joe. Working hard?” “Uh, huh. How about you?’ “Tt ain’t working enough.’ There was a bitter tang in the nervous iittle laugh."’ “It's six years since I left the old burg. When do you blow in?” “Five years ago yesterday, Joe.” “Well?’’ ~“T don’t know, Joe. on.

I'm just filling in between seasons. They promised me 4 weeks of the big time next season with my pianospiel act.”’ “I'm glad to hear that, Joe. Listen, do you ever think of going back to Fitchburg?” _ “I should say not,” laughed Joe. “Me Bo back to that hick town. This is the life.”’ “I got a letter from the folks today,” went on Clara dreamily. ‘‘They want me to come back. The old man is mak- ing a lot of money, ma says. He bought that 100 acres from Jepson. You remember Jepson's place, do ” “You bet,” said Joe. “That's wade the old swimmin’ hole was. Say, Clara. Why doesn’t the old man send you some that money he is making?’’ “He thinks I'm making a couple of hundred a week singing in private re. citals,”’ she laughed. “Why don’t you go back?” asked Joe. “There ain't nothing doing in this town in the summer.” “I wish I could,” replied Clara, “but I wrote the folks that I had a fine Summer garden engagement.”’ “Aw, g0 on back,” urged Joe. “To tell: you the truth, kid, I don't think you'll get anywhere with your voice. It ain't very strong’’— The patch on Clara's cheek blazed crimagon. “What do you know about music, anyway, Joe Harris. What does a bum plano player in a joint like this know about a voice? Why don’t you go back to the country? That's where you be- long. You ain't got no talent.

But when he came nearer he saw a man slide down the side and run in the opposite direction. James thought it was queer that a grown man shoulf be climbing the magic rock at that hour in the day, as there were no houses near and the rock was not near the road, either. Something made James turn off the road and cross a lot instead of going to the rock, as he had intended, ana he did not turn until he was in the woods on the other side; then he went behind a tree and looked out, but the man had disappeared. That night he told his father what he had seen and his father said, ‘‘Per- haps it was the robber who atole the storekeeper’s money.” The next morning very early James and his father and the storekeeper went through the woods and watched from rock, and, much to their surprise, there | on top of the rock sat a man, and through the field glasses, which James’ father thought to bring along, they could see that the man had a stick or wire and was poking into the opening in the rock. Just what he was doing they could not make out, but the storekeeper thought it might be the robber and hur- ried back to the village to get help. In a short time men armed with re- volvers came and by moving slowly and carefully they were able to get near enough to the man to call to him that if he ran they would fire. And they showed their revolvers. When they reached the rock and JooKed into the opening, thure they could see silver shining and something which at first they could not make out, but later proved to be the bills. The man was taken into the village and confessed he was oné of the robd- bers and that he carried the money, while the other robbers carried the silver spoons and other pieces they had taken. They had slept by the side of the rock the night of the robbery and in the morning he had awakened before his partner and the idea had come to him to hide part of the money in the rock and later come back for it and so get the biggest part for himself. The scheme had worked all right until he came to get the money and found it had slipped so far into the opening thac he could not get it, and that was how he was caught. Of course, James got the $100 reward, which he put in the bank toward his college mbney, which he was working for and saving little by little. He was given the name in the village of “Detective James,"’ and it clung to him through all his boyhood and often after he was a man some old friend would greet him with, “Hello, Detective James, catching any robbers nowadays?” where James had looked back at the) (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, Hows Tyee City.)
