WASHINGTON, May 3.—The first of- ficial information concerning the Goy- ernment’s plans for conducting the military draft, showing chat the War Department counts on registering 7,- 000,000 men within 20 days after the issue of the call, was revealed by Brigadier- General Enoch H.

Gen..Crowder has been selected for appointment as Provost Marshal-Gen- eral in charge of the entire registration system. He will have the rank of Ma, jor-General. Precise plans for putting the draft machinery in motion have been prepared by Gen.

In 30 days the rolls will be in the possession of the War Department. It is estimated that 7,000,000 men will be enrolled, or 7 per cent of the total population of the cofintry.

PARIS, May 3.—Jules Cambon, General Secretary to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in the course of a talk yester- day said the@French Government and public opinion in Franve had been deep- lv touched by the reception that had been given in the United States to M. Viviani and Marshal Joffre. Referring to Gen. Petain’s nomina- tion as Chief of Staff, M. Cambon said: ‘‘The nomination will assure a closer means of communication between the Government which has the respon- sibility of condifcting the war and the Commander in Chi¢f, on whom is in- cumbent the direction of the oper - tions.’”’ GIVES UP PLAN TO WED CONVICT Wealthy Widow Returns to New York ‘ From Kansas.

Mrs. Ford brought letters to William Mulvane afid other prominent Kanéans. Several of them interested themselves in furthering the love affair begun through correspondence of the Stokes Society. Gov. Capper was deluged with requests to liberate Salisbury. Mrs. Ford's decision came after a conference with the Judge who sentenced Salisbury. JOFFRE SEEN KISSING TWO GIRLS They Are Gen.

Yes- terday morning the Post-Dispatch cor- respondent chanced to discover him tn the hall of former Ambassador White’s house in the act of bestowing bountiful kisses on two young ladies.

SMALL EXPEDITION UKELY TO BE SENT T0 FRANCE SOON Joffre Probably Will Not Have to Wait Until U. S. ‘Trains a Big Army. ATTITUDE PRESIDENT’S Ready to Consider . Favorable Action on Request; Censoring of Joffreijin Controversy. By LINCOLN EYRE Faris Correspondent of the Post-Dis- : patch aad New York Werld. WASHINGTON, May 3.—Although it is understood he has not committed himself to any definite decision, Presi- dent Wilson assured former Premier Vi4 viai and Marshal Joffre, whom he saw separately at the White House yesterday, of his readiness to consider favorably the French mission's proposal for ,the speedy dispatch of American troops to France. It is understood that the President in- tends to confer with Secretary Baker and the heade of the General Staff within the next few days in order to arrive at a thorough understanding of the technical problems involved in Mar- shal Joffre’s ideas. The Genera! Staff will be given full opportunity to formu- late any objections it may have to transporting an American division across the Atlantic within three months that its fighting education may be speeded up at the hands of experts in the pres- ent kind of warfare in Europe. Both M. Viviani and Marshal Joffre are wholly content, I understand, with the sympathetic reception accorded their suggestions by Mr. Wilson. That France. will not have to wait until a great army hag been raised and trained in this country may be regarded, from the information I have received, as practically assured. Points to Be Disposed ‘of. The principal points remaining to be disposed of by the administration are the kind of troops to be gent and the date of the gafling of the first contin- gent. . While the French military folk } would, of. course, prefer to see Ameri- can regulars arrive first, no objection would be raised, I feel sure, to a mixed division of regulars and militiamen. In fact, it is safe to say France would ‘rather have a force composed only of national guard regiments than no other American soldiers at all, Furthermore, she would rather welcome a militia division in a few weeks than a division of regulars six months later. “We were able to train Russian peas- ants for the firing line in four months, although a good many of them didn’t even know the drill,’’ one French of- ficer told me. ‘“‘Why shouldn't we do the same with your quick-witted Amer- icans in half the time?’ Admiral Chocheprat and his staff of- ficers, Commander -George Simon and Lieut. Alfred Lindebom, went to Ar:- napolis for luncheon yestérday, where the Admiral reviewed the naval cadets and delivered a brief address to them. "Te naval academy is a model for all the sea-faring world,’’ he said on his return to this city. Controversy Over Joffre. Although the French mission has ac- cepted full responsibility for censoring Marshal Joffre’s remarks on the imme- diate need of sending American troops to France, controversy continues as to whether the expurgation might not have been made as a result of the opposition of the army General Staff to sending American troops out of the country ata time when they are wanted for training the new army. The State Department has officially disclaimed any part whatever in the ex- purgation and has made it plain that it issued Marshal Joffre’s statement as it was delivered by the French Mission, purély as an act of courtesy to the vis- Centinued‘on Page 2.

War Department officials declined to discuss the incident, because it touches on a subject about which the depart- ment discourages any speculation at this time. The explanation most freely given is by Emile Hovelacque of the French Mission, who kas been acting as an in- terpreter and who read to newspaper men a translation of Marshal Joffre’s statement last Sunday. This translation contained the refer- ence which wa’ expurgated from. the of- ficial report when later issued through the State Department by the French Mission. Formal Statemeat Cut Out. In referring to the expurgation of the Statement, Hovelacque said: ‘‘We dis- covered that: it might be unpleasant to the War Department; that it might re- act on public opinion. We expurgated the formal] statement. M. Viviani did not see it before it,was read to the newspapermen. Colf Cosby translated it. We saw that Marshal Joffre had spoken in too definite terms, so a para- graph was struck out.” Col. Cosby, former military ‘attache at the embassy in Paris, has been attached to the mission since its arrival and, of course, is familiar with the views of the general staff. The French mis- sion, however, accepts full responsibil- ity for the expurgation, and there is not even an intimation that Col. Cosby suggested it. Marshal Joffre’s declara- tion for the sending of American sol- Giers immediately, coming at a time when Congress and Government officials are confronted with the problem of dealing with Col. Roosevelt's offer to lead a division to France if the Govern- rent will authorize it, has furnished the material for a lively controversy over what the Marshal actually said and who was responsible for expurgating it when his statement went to the psblic.

ATTACK ON SUPPLY DEPOT Flight So Low That Machines Barely Escape Explosion of Own Bombs. er comune a Staff Cerrespondent of the Associated Press. BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCT, May 3.—British airmen, tak- ing full advantage of the- long spell of sood weather, are continuing their re- ‘entless offensive aloft both by day and night. Within three days they have ac- counted for 55 enemy macnines and have carried out many enterprises behind the German lines. Many v«nposted letters found on cap- tured Germans dwell upon the uneasi. nese the: machines cause. One man wrete: ‘‘The air activity is very great The nelish. will soon he taking the caps off our heads.” The daring of the British aviators in flying #0 low in the enemy country is one of the striking phases of the latter, Jay air tactics. During a recent night raid, with only the stars to guide them, the Britons swooped down upon their dimly outlined targets and dropped their botnhs, barely escaping themselves from the blast they gaused. Searchfight Bombed. The attack was on a supply depot, and the Germans defending it brought into play a powerful searchlight, wnere- upon a Pritisher promptly flew at it like a giant moth, let ioose a light- weight bomb directly over it and the lamp went out. The British raids on dark nights bring cut a great display ef enemy fire- works, for, in addition to the gunfire and the bursting shrapne| shells, vari- ous cuvlored rockets are sent hissing in- discritninutely into the air. Just now with the May moon approaching its fullness, the raiders go ‘“‘over the line’’ to upset enemy trains, blow up enemy ammunition stores, rout sleeping enemy soldiers out of their billets, throw en- emyv transport columns into endless econ- fusion and scatter genern! dernoraliza- tion from the skies for hours at a time, Some cf the best air fighting the British have had recently has been with a group of brilliant scarlet German ma-. chines.

HOUSE EXPECTED TO VOTE ON ESPIONAGE BILL LATE TODAY WASHINGTON, May 3.—The fight on’ the censorship section of the espionage bill was resumed in the Nouse today with indications that amendments would be made and a final vote taken, pos- sibly before night. In connection with his announcement that he would seek to have the measure amended so as to prehibit anly the pub- lication of specific information, Repre- sentative McCormick of Illinois, declared. that passage of the bil] as drawn mig exclude news about food speculation, typhoid in the army, or car congestion. In a prepared statement Representa- tive McCormick declared that he had heard Secretary Daniels recently gave contracts for submarine chasers to brokers instead of ship-builders and that contracts were not being carried bout because of the failure of the brokers to obtain bonds and their inability to get action by ship-builderg. Such infor- mation, the statement continued, might be suppressed by the proposed law. German pilots had been gathered into this particular: fighting unit.

MORE CHASERS NEEDED _ Shipping Board’s Encouraging Factors. WASHINGTON, May 3.—While mem- bers of the entente missions share the alarm of Americun officials at the growing inroads of the submarine meii- ace, they do not regard the situation as in any sense fatal. It means, in their view. a period of ery xreat sclf-denial and further re- istrictions, but they do nut credit in the least any opinion. that it is certain tec lead to starvation or the loss of the war. They are counting on ships, men and money from the United States, and pos- sibly American inventive genius, to out- weigh thc U-boat terror. Critical as the allied situation is made to appear, allied diplomats say it is as nothing to the insuperable difficulties of Germany, almost entirely hidden under the censorship. It is quite pussible, they say, that Herbert C. Hoover’s figures of 18,000, catile in the central empires are cor- rect, vVut a distribution of these and other supplies is almost in.possible when Germany’s miiitary necessities are so seriously overcrowding the railroads. ~ Means for transporting American coal to France and thus releasing for other service ships used to carry it from England is one of the most pressing problems laid before American Govern- ment ‘officiais by members of the allied commissions here: The question has caused the Council of National Defense to consider establishing more direct Gov- ernment control over the coal.industry and the subject is being investigated by F. 8S.

The work .of tending the garden will be done by children attend- ing the schools in the neighborhood, lthe Elliot, Lowell and Bryan Hill Schools. This afternoon the children were brought to the tract and assigned cer- tain sections of ground for the care and cultivation of which they will be held responsible.

The Administration's ship control pro- gram will go to Congress this week in bills giving the President direct power, if needed, to take over the country’s shios and shipyards. The measures also will put into the President's hands the power to ¢ontrol facilities that compete with shipbuilding. Their purpose is to give the Executive authority to insure an abundance of materials for shin- ouilding. Big building construction could be suspended under the bills, if necessary, to insure supplies of steel to keep shipyards going. The bills give power which the Aa- ministration believes would not have to be exercised, officials holding that the mere existence of the power would be sufficient. The shipping board hopes to Speed up the construction of steel cargo ships in addition to its campaign for a vast fleet of wooden ships. “Present shipyard contracts,’’ said Mr. Denman, ‘‘are for slow-time con- struction and many of the ships are for foreign accounts. This is strang- ling the productivity of the nation’s shipbuilding capacity. It has astounded the Shipping Board that these contracts have been placed, many of them with- in the last six weeks, after the Ship- ping Board made clear its program of rapid construction. Realized Danger Early. “As early as the third week in Feb- ruary the board realized the danger ts which the German submarine campaign exposed the country. Before it planned wooden ships, the board was told the steel yards could not produce ‘further than they were turning out, but some yards have since placed contracts for slow-time construction at high prices, many of the ships for foreign account. The board since has discovered there are additional facilities for steel ship- bull@ing and are perfecting a plan for standardized construction ‘which will vastly increase the output. f “If the higher estimates of ship losses are true, despite al) our efforts, we may yet be paying, taxes to Germany. We _ Secretary Lane told a conference of f can build 200,000 tons of wooden ships a ‘ and other state representa- re tt ep yesterday that the great destruc- | tion of ships was threatening the. exis- of Great Britain and France and the United States. No one, he id, knew the exact number of ships a recently, but estimates put last week's submarine toll at 400,000 tons. @ter he explained that this estimate was too high.

It will be some time in the fall before the wooden shipbuilding campaign is in full swing. Experts of the Federal departments are working night and day on electrical devices with which it is hoped to com- bat the submarine. Bills were introduced in Congress to enlarge the powers of the War Risk In- surance Bureau to permit it to insure the lives of officers and men on Ameri- cah merchant. fleets. Owners of all vessels would be required to take out insurance on the lives of their employes. Enlargement of the board's powers is sought also to enable the Government to enter into reciprocal insurance ar- rangements with Governments making war against Germany. ‘RUBBING A PROFESSOR wim SAND’ LEADS TO SCHOOL STRIKE Several Mining Students at Golden (Colo.) Suspended, and All but Thirty Seniors Leave Institution. GOLDEN, Colo., May 3.—All students except 30 seniors have ‘‘struck’’ at the Colorado School of Mines here and most of the approximately 140 ‘‘strikers’’ have left the institution, ‘as a result of the faculty’s refusal to reconsider suspen- sion of several students for “rubbing a professor with sand."’ Some of the students have announced their intention of entering the Officers’ Reserve Corps, others are awaiting or- derg from their parents or guardians and 12 Chinese sent to the school by their Government, who left classes with others, are awaiting instructions from their legation at Washington. President Parmalee issued a state- ment declaring the faculty could not re- consider the suspensions. The ‘‘hazing,” of a form customary at the school for years, took place April 23, he said. F. W. Lucht, of the mechanical engineer- ing department, was seized by a party of students who removed parts of his clothing and rubbed his skin with sand.

DR, LAURO MULLER RESIGNS AS: FOREIGN MINISTER OF BRAZIL Noted Statesman Has Been Bitterly Criticized on Ground of Being Pro-German in Sympathies. RIO JANEIRO, May 3—Dr. Lauro Muller has tendered President Braz his resignation as Minister of Foreign Af- fairs. The Government has received in- formation that the Brazilian Minister to Germany has been ordered detaine1 in Berlin, and has ordered the detention of Adolf Pauli, German Minister to Bra- zil, who is on his way to Uruguay. Dr. Lauro Muller as been bitterly criticised in Brazil gince the relations between the republic and Germany first became acute, on the ground that he was pro-German in his sympathies, His opponents accused him of using his ir- fluence to prevent a breach of relations between Brazil and Germany and de- manded his resignation. Dr. Muller was first appointed Foreign Minister in Feb- ruary, 1912, and even at that time was attacked as being too friendly to Ger- many, an accusation apparently based, in part at least; on his German descent. He is one of the best known statesmen in South America and has madé several visits to the United States. PRISONER TRANSFER TO U.

WASHINGTON, May § 3.—American troops that go to France will have to use allied guns and munitions if they are to be of use in fighting against the Germans, Howard Coffin of the advisery commission of the Council of National Defense today told state Gov-! ernors here for a defense conference. The allies, he said are manufacturing more munitions than they can use and can help supply the American soldiers. “If our army is to be of service there,’’ said Coffin, “it must,.use Euro- pean standards. To carry our standards abroad would create endless confusion. We would have to establish factories abroad. Allied ‘contracts are lapsing here now and we can use the output of our own factories equipped to manu- facturing according to European speci- fications. > “We face entry into the: war with the great advantage of having numerous factories working on war contracts and with thousands of skilled men available. This is a tremendous asset. Had we entered the war two years ago we would have had to do what England has done—take over our factories. “The Government will be. able to pro- duce its supplis with as little diversion of other factories to’ munitions manu- facture as possible. Even those to be changed over will not lose their normal percentage, as we hope to change them by percentage and let them continue to carry on their usual business as well as their war business. Otherwise we would cripple industry. Factories can supply the Government with 2% to 50 per cent of their output and continue their or- ganizations.”’ The country will need more airplanes than it can possibly produce, said Cof- fin. The British, he said, some time had as many as 1000 machines in the air ona single front, and kept behind the lines from 15,000 to 20,000 more machines than‘ the Germans possess. More automobiles are manufactured in the United States than the country can use, Coffin said, and he believed it never would become necessary to commandeer private Cars. Rifles are produced now at the rate of 17,000 to 20,000 a day, Coffin said, and more ammunition is being manufactured than the whole worid can uses. Machine gnus, he said, could be supplied as fast as needed. Most of the big bguns tho country makes and will continue to go to the allies, he said, although the American military forces are in need of them. It will become necessary, he said, to increase big gun manufacturing fa- cilities, At the Busy Bee Candy Shops The candy special for Friday will be Our Assorted Milk Chocolates, 30c pougd.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. TOKIO, Aprii 8.—ThHE& entrance of the United States into the ranks of the entente allies has been greeted with great satisfaction by the Japanese, a satisfac- tion voiced by the foreign office in a statement to the Associated Press... The Japanese Government is eager to co-op- erate with America in every possible way, but there is considerable specula- tion as to what form such co-operation could take, Many of the Japanese newspapers pay enthusiastic tribute to the war address of President Wilson. The Yamato calls it a ‘‘sublime expression of the great- ness of the American character.’’ The prompt action of the United States in mobilizing its navy and the measures taken for increasing its sea strength have given renewed impetus to the movement to oe the Japanese -——-— ew NOTHING in the way of etter health can ever come from drinking coffee. € There are millions of coffee users who now drink Postum. “There's a Reason” ‘aaa.

They are urging an increase in Japan’s sea power for-the purpose of consolidating the national de- fense and not necessarily for an aggres- sive purpose: The new proposals to this end will probably be introduced at the next session of the Diet. There are a great number of Amer- icans in Japan who wish to go home and offer their services to the Government for the war.

When Buchanan discussed the peace council with him, Gompers said he first believed that Buchanan, whom he had always considered ‘‘a good, big man,”’ had been imposed on, but that he ‘‘began to doubt his sincerity.” Gompers Cros¢-Examined, Under cross-examination by copnsel for Schulteis and Martin, Gompers con- ceded that general peace proposals were indorsed by labor. j Gompers described as “‘absurd’’ a question by counsel whether his testi- mony was colored by the fear that JSuchanan wanted to succeed him as president of the American® Federation of Labon Another question that aroused Gom- pers’ anger was whether he had ever heard the charge that ‘‘Gompers for years had tried to deliver labor to the trusts,’ Violently hammering the arm ' Of’ his chair, Gompers said he would “not submit to being insulted.’’ No auch charge had ever been made against _Aim, he declared. Yesterday Gompers testified that Buchanan sought to induce him to join in the movement to stop the manufac- ture of munitions and their shipnijent to the entente allies; The witness said that he’ told Buchanan that sich a course would be against the interest of the United States and that he warned Buchanan to be on his guard against any policy put forward in the name of labor that was not sanctioned by ‘the American Federation of Labor in open convention. Publicity Agent’s Testimony. The most startling evidence since the trial began was that of John C. - Hammond, a publicity agent, who yes- terday testified that Rintelen told him that “he would go to any extreme to prevent shipment of munitions and that strikes must be brought about in the ammunition factories.” On cross examination, Hammond said that Von Rintelen came ‘to him with a plan for a campaign of pub- licity in the interests of friendly re- lations between this country and Ger- many. He testified that he notified Secretary Tumulty and the Depart- ment of Justice, “saying that Rintelen had stated to me that he was doing all in his power to embroil this coun- try with Mexico because if this coun- try had war with Mexico it would EEE | WILL START FOR CHICAGO TODAY Which Will Include Visit to St. Louis. WASHINGTON, May 3.—Members of the French Commission will depart at 3:30 p. m, today on a special train fol Chicago, beginning a tour of the coun- try which will last a week or 10 days. They will reach Chicago at noon Friday. Public authorities in cities and states through which the party will pass have been notified privately by the State Department of arrangements for the itinerary, but details will not be , published in advance for safety’s sake. A number of experts of the commission i remain here to work out war ques- tibns ‘with American officials. ‘They will pass through certain sec- tions of Indiana and Illinois Friday morning,”’ a State Department announce- ment says. “The authorities along the route of their procedure will be com- municated with in time to notify the people of the various communities. It is deemed inadvisable at the present time to announce these points. Further announcements will be made from day to day.’’ After being entertained in Chicago, the party will go to Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, I11.—to visit the tomb of Abraham Lincoln—Philadelphia, New York and Boston. From Boston the visitors will return to Washington and resume their conferences. Members of the misagion will take with them much data on which they expect to work while traveling. A public reception to the mission, ad- mission to which will be by ticket, will be held in the Auditorium Theater at Chicago tomorrow night, and on Satur- day afternoon a great mass meeting is to be held in the Bexter pavilion at the Stockyards, which has a seating ca- pacity of 13,000. KOLKSCHNEIDER PUT UP $2318 Brewer Was Sole Contributor te Taxpayers’ Association Campaign. “Henry W. Kolkschneider, a brewer, who is president of the Taxpayers’ Pro- tective Association, was the Only con- tributor to the campaign expenses of that organization at the recent primary and municipal election. According to his report to Recorder of Deeds Joy, filed yesterday, the association’s partici- pation in the elections cost Kolkschnei- der $2318.50. All of this amount was spent for advertising. The General Socialist Committee filed its statement showing that contributions to its campaign fund totaled $1211.68, Expenses, not including $248 in unpaid bills, were $919.61.. William M. Brandt. Socialist candidate for Mayor, was the largest contributor to his party. He gave $6. stop the shipment of munitions to Europe and that it was only a matter of time before German diplomacy would. embroil this country with Japan.” Sinking of the Lusitania. Hammond testified that Rintelen came to him in April, 1915, and they discussed the proposed publicity cam- paign. He saw Rintelen again, he said, the day after the Lusitania was sunk and the German naval officer told him then it would be a waste of time to carry on the campaign in view of that event. Rintelen, accord- ing to Hammond, expressed regret over the Lusitania sinking, and de- clared that it was one of the most foolish aets Germany had done.

MONEY RETIRED Two Months Ago Government Established Metallic Basis —Small Bonds Used. PAPER WASHINGTON, May 3.—The. United States Government has granted the re- quest of the de facto Government of Mexico for the coinage in the Philadel- phia mint of $20,000,000 in gold pieces, the bullion being furnished by Mexico. This step is significant of a decided change for the better in the economic situation in Mexico. The United States has often minted money before tor for- eign countries. Mexico has a factory that can turn out silver money, but none that can coin gold pieces, and wnen the gold standard was established, severa! years ago, the Diaz Government co‘ned $15,000,000 in gold pieces, using the mints of the United States for that purpose. The work is done at cost, as a courtesy to the Mexican Govérnment. Refael Nieto, Sub-Secretary of Finance in the Mexican Government, was in New York for several days arranging: for tle purchase by New York banks of builion received by the Government from min- ing companies and other firms in va: - ment for import and export taxes. ilex- ico’s total revenue from this source wiil reach $100,000,000 this year. Work on Dies Ordered. The Treasury Department of the Unit- ed States, on request of Secretary Tan- sing, tho negotiated with Ramon de Ne- gri, Charge d’Affaires of the Mexican embassy here, has ordered the Phila- delphia mint to begin work on dies. samples of which are furnished by Mex- ico. Mexico possesses both in and out of circulation a total of abgut $15,900,000 in gold coin and $50,000,000 pee moiiey. The former amount is confined to what is known as the “half hidalgo’”’ and “hi- dalgos.’”” The hidalgo resembles the United States $5 gold piece and is worth that amount in American mone;, while the half-hidalgo is the equivalent of $2.50 in American monéy. Much of the $50,- 000,000 in silver coin has been hoarded. some of it has found its way to Cnina, where Mexican silver ts"msed as a basis of exchange. Much of this is coming , back, as the Mexican silver peso is ap- preciating in value and mining compa- nies, which need the metallic currency for their payrolls, are getting back large quantities from the Far East. Mexican Currency Totals 8115,000,000. With the coinage of $15,000,000 in new gold coin and $30,000,000 in new silver money, the total amount of metallic currency in Mexico will be approximate- ly $115,000,000. The plethora of new coin will have a tendency to bring out into circulation much of the hoarded money, and the consequent effect on business transactions and the volume of ex- change can readily be imagined. There is no paper money in circula- tion in Mexico, which accounts inci- dentally for the splendid success that has attended the decision of the Gov- ernment to establish the finances of the country again on a metallic basis. Since the paper money became extinct, two months ago, largely because it was worthless, the Government of Mexico has been paying its troops and em- ployes partly in gold and silver coin, and American money has been accepted, too. , ‘The Government paid the other part of its obligations to employes in interest- bearing Government bonds. These bonds were at first not regarded as of much value, but with the return of public confidence in the Government, the coin- age of more gold and silver coin, they are now frequently used as a borrowing asset by individuals. To Pay Off Debt by Bonds. Mexico intends to pay off its internal debt partly by these bonds, reserving as much coin as possible for gradual payments of external obligations and accumulated interest. The bonds are, however, not being used as a circulat- ing medium. Gold and silver pieces very much like those of the United States, but of dif- ferent values, are now in circulation throughout Mexico. The use of a stand- ard money, really the kind Mexico has always had in times of peace, has done a great deal to tranquillize Mexico and to reopen the channels of intrnal trade and external commerce. Reports from American Consuls throughout Mexico tell of the general resumption of mining and other busi- ness operations. And altogether the Mexican situation has revealed to offi- cials of the Washington Government a gratifying improvement, justifying, in- deed, the policy of patience and friend- ship pursued by the United States Gov- ernment toward-its neighbor across the Rio Grande. ~ Lost Articles Are Restored Usually the same day the lost ad is printed in the Post-Dispatch, if the article is found by an honest person. Finders expect losers to advertise in the Post-Dispatch. The Post-Dispatch prints MORE lost ads than the FOUR other St. Louis newspapers COM- BINED! Travel 4000 Miles to Enlist. PITTSBURG, Pa., May 3.—Stewart M. Walthour and Michael Gordon, former privates in the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Infantry, traveled more than 4000 miles, or from Liverpool, England, ;to this city, to re-enlist in their regiment. The two men deserted several years ago. Col. E. L. Kearns has requested permis- sion of Adjt. McCain to restore the men without trial. La Salle Friday Bargain.

They were made public by A. J.

Hundreds of thousands of moved steadily through all the streets toward the building of the municipa} Duma, where steps were taken imme- diately to organize a committee of 150 to lead the revolution in Moscow.

It Its clear that whiie the whole population of Moscow participated in this first day’s movement, nobody wag sure what position would be taken by the troops of the Moscow garrison. But early in the course of the day groups of soldiers and officers began to come to the Duma Building, pledging their support to the revolution. Shortly before dark the un- certainty was clinched by the arrival of several companies of soldiers, marching with full equipment and shouldered arms, who declared that they had come to safeguard the Duma. This ended the first day. . “On the next day, March 14, a regular movement of troops throughout all Mos- cow began, carrying red flags and signs gimilar to those at by the civilian crowds the day fore. The infantry, artifiery and cavalry all massed about the Duma Building, and stood there in ranks, cheered by the crowds. They were joined by tens of thousands of workers, led by the representatives they had just elected. All that day in. the Duma was devoted to conferences of so- cial committees and of the Council of Workingmen and Soldiers. The streets were full of enthusiastic people, and in the middle of the day a military aero- plane flew overhead flying a red flag. This was taken as conclusive proof that the Military Aeronautical Corps was in favor of, the revolution and aroused fresh cheering. . Change of Commanders. “Late in the evening it was announced that Gen. Mrozovsky, commander of the Moscow military district, one of the foremost reactionaries, had been arrest- ed, and that the president of the Mos- cow Zemstvos, Col. Grouginon, had been elected in his stead. The police force was replaced by militia, and the revolu- tion was accomplished almost without any sacrifices. “The third day was the day of cele- bration. The regiments of the garrison, with their standards, and commanded by their officers, marched before the Duma building, and were greeted by the enthusiastic population. “In addition to the pictures of what happened at Moscow, the Russian pa- pers give an interesting description of the way the revolution was accom- plished in the provincial centers. There is a telegram from Kiev which quotes the message sent by Gen. Brusiloff to Dr. Stradonsky, the newly elected com- mander of the Kiev military district and president of the Council of Social Com- mittees in Kiev, asking him to keep or- der, and saying how necessary it is from a military point of view that Russia should stay calm and orderly under the new regime. Gen. Brusiloff said: “The old army recognizes the new Government, and we all together are the united Russian people.’ Free Russia Expects Victory. “Gen. Radko Demetrieff, commanding at Riga, in an order issued to his troops, said: “The frees country expects from us that we bring it the necessary victory. Let us all, generals, officers and sol- diers, unite in one strong, incontrover- tible union, and the enemy will tremble before the might of great Russia.’ “A telegram from Tiflis states that about 60,000 people, inciuding officers and soldiers, attended the meeting there to celebrate the achievement of Russian freedom. Among the speakers was the Chief of the Field Staff of the Caucasus Army, Gen. Bolchovitoff, who greeted the new Government, and asked every- body to support it. His speech was cheered with enthusiasm. ‘The same kind of messages come from all parts of Russia. It is impos- sible to enumerate everything of the same character that occurred. The con- tents of the Russian papers are sensa- tional from beginning to end, and would fill up ev red American publication.” cialist’s Power. Sack a escribed the scene in the Senate at Petrograd, when Mr. Keren- sky, the new Minister of Justice, a rad- ical Socialist, brought in the original documents of the Czar’s manifesto abdi- cating the throne for himself and his son, and the similar manifesto of Grand Duke Michael, the Czar's brother. The acceptance of these documents by the Senate marked the definite ending of the old regime. In commenting upon Kerensky’s power in the new Govern- ment, Mr. Sack said: “His influence is shown by the fact that he was the only Cabinet Minister who was able to adjust the trouble which arose between the revolutionary gailors of the Baltic fleet and the of- ficers they elected at the beginning of the revolution. He brought them to un- dertstanding and order.’’ Tomato, Cabbage and Lettuce Plants, le each. Grimm & Gorly. Boy Caught in Elevater Drum.

There was every indication that the huge issue would be far oversubscribed. Secretary McAdoo today delivered to the Italian Ambassador the $100,000,000 which the Government has decided to advance Italy to meet her pressing de- mands, : The $100,000,000 for France probably will be similarly: delivered shortly, bringing the total advanced the allies thus far up to $400,000,000. Postoffices, customs and internal reve- nue officials will be authorized to re- ceive applications for: subscriptions to the Liberty Loan, and newspapers, de- partment’ stores,’ express companies patriotic and civic organizations Mc- Adoo has indicated, also will receive such authority. Subscription Closes June 15. Secretary McAdoo announced that sub- scriptions would be received to June 15 ' next. The bonds will be dated July 1, ' and will be ready for delivery on that date. The proceeds of the issue will be deposited in as large a number of banks throughout the country as prac- . ticable and will be withdrawn grad- vally. Interest on the bonds will be payable semi-annually Jan. 1 arid July 1. Detai's _, a8 to their denomination have not yet _ been prescribed, but the lowest denomi- mation. it was announced, will be so small as to place the bond within the - reach of every investor.

Many offers of assistance have been received from women’s organ- _ gations, and as soon as possible, the _ gecretary will organize a woman's com- - “mittee to assist in the work of obtaining _ subscriptions and distributing the issue. In accordance with the provisions of _ the act, the bonds will be convertible - into bonds bearing a higher rate of in- _ terest than 3% per cent, if any subse- _ quent series of bonds shall be issued at _ # higher rate of interest before the end } of the war. ,: The bonds are exempt from tax of any tri | and all kinds. fi\ CABRERA PLEDGES MEXICO's NEUTRALITY IN WORLD WAR Letter te Secretary Lane Also Says Southern Republic Will De Nething to Embarrass U. §, _ WAStiNGTON, May &.—Luiz Cabrera, Carranza’s Minister of Finance, in a let- ter to Secretary Lane, with whom he —s- gat on the Mexican-American commis- _« gion, pledges not only Mexico's neutrai- | ity but his Government’s Antention to _ do nothing to embarass the United » States in the war with Germany. A _ part of Cabrera's letter, made public by ___—s Secretary Lane, follows: “AN Mexicans who know and appre- _ elate the United States are now striving to keep Mexico absolutely neutral in the _. present world conflict, which, unfor- a tunately, has extended to America.

Gardner, at a banquet in honor of the board of directors of the Cham- , ber of Commerce of the United States at ' the St. Louis Club last night, made a _ plea for the adequate financing of the - farms of the country.

These, with their leaders, Schurz, Prince Felix Salt, Sigel and others, contributed muen to the victory of the North. Congress gave al) the invalids a pension based on age and disability. Many of the pen- sio::ers returned to their former homes, partly because they had relatives there and partiv because of cheaper living. The requirement to remain in the United States to draw pensions did not exist ‘“TIntil June, 1916, all these pensions were paid by the American consulates in Germany. Then objections began.

It. has been said, and truly, “There is a time for all things.” and never was the saying more applicable for the use of every thoughtful man and woman in this United States of America than at this particular moment. The “things” for which the present time is ripe can best be understood by their most familiar names, such as patriotism, honor, allegiance, loyalty, obedience, unselfishness, helpfulness, willingness, unity of thought and purpose and devotion, brotherhood in the sense of nation-wide relationship, not as to family, lodge, society or organization. The time is at hand when we must become elastic in mind, in order to stretch out ance oxpand into one large body of purpose—as one, not as a million, but rather as a million melted. into one, and with this one spirit and heart we will move in unison with power for good, without a single hitch caused by self-opinions, selfish mo- tives, selfish aims, and we will find our real selves expressed in one big and mighty self, which will astound our senses. The time for awakening is upon us, and we, with our inborn and innate and natural responsive- ness and courage and assurance simply arise, put on the one garment “America,” which is made after the latest and mose exact pattern of loyalty, and in addition to finding this garment a most becoming one, we find also that we feel perfectly at honre in it and it has this great advantage that it fits us every one. There is, therefore, no time lost in alteration or changing or disap- pointment or delay in being ready for whatever we may be called upon to do in the activities connected with this, our one big home. This is only wisdom on our part, leading and guiding us, and we will find’ourselves all pre- pared for whatever assails. Ready for war, if need We, or ready for peace. And we will have found the peace, within which eomes as‘a natural “result of obedience and self-foryzetfulness, and this peaceful assurance will pervade the atmos- phere of the whole nation, for there is nothing so reassuring as unity of purpose. Turmoil and fighting are not results of war. Exactly the opposite, however, is trie. War is the result of turmoil and unrest and division and strife in the human breasts. We see the re- sults. We do not see the thoughts which lead up to the results. Hence, the necessity of our being of one mind, one purpose, one aim at thi? particular time in our history. Thus we will happily find ourselves prepared for peace—the one condition in which all America joins in heart and soul. During this process, how- ever, we will have passed through “The Melting Pot,” as it were, where we shall have been puri- fed and cleansed from @l! strife and opposition and will joyfully awaken to find ourselves cement- ed together in one solid body, one grand %rother- hood, in a greater America than we have over before known. Let us each feel the touch of brother love, and pass it on to our fellow-man and woman, until the one inevitable spirit of unity becomes appar- ent among us. This is only bringing on earth what we all pray for daily, the kingdom of heaven and in this kingdom there is no war. MRS, tS, JOSEPH B, KENNBY. Con Market Street Loafers. To the “ditor of the Post-Dispatch. Since the police have decided to round up all the loafers in the city, why don't they begin on Market street? There they could find enough “slackers” for an entire regiment and if they will fight for their country as they fight “booze,” they will make admirable soldiers. Vv. Neglect of the Blind. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have teen asked to contribute to the biind fund and most gladly have given what I could, but I wish to at least raise a voice of protest against the outrageous pillage of State funds in the last administration, which makes it necessary for the public to supply money for this humane cause. Has the mill tax ever been paid? What plans are laid for its use? What plans have the grafters in mind? Why can’t $60,000 be paid out of it be- fore the end of this week and assure the blind people maistenance? People arise and insist on it. It is your money. It has long been due and awarded by court. Please for the benefit of the blind publish this and use the power of your great paper to obtain the charge of 4 : staff in the light of the counsel and wishes of our Juable and ponderous works of sculpture were tak- SEND TEDDY TO THE FRONT. Let us make the best possible use of Col.. Roose- velt; let us utilize to the utmost his prestige as ex-President and man of action, his wonderful record of activity, his exhaustless energy, his pa- triotic fervor, his enthusiasm: and coura Col. Roosevelt warf™s to go to the front in France, Let him go. Where else would his figure and influence as a great American and his quali- | ties of alluring leadership count for more in moral effect on our struggling allies, in depression among our enemies, in allurement for Americans at home to join the fighting forces? ; } An ex-President of Col. Roosevelt's quality in derful tonic for the French and British. As a fighting American in the battlefield he would be a flaming banner to young Americans which would help marvelously to rally them to the Who could resist the Roosevelt call to battle? There is no doubt of the sound policy of com- missioning Col. Roosevelt to go to the front and sending him with the first unit. The ‘question is, what kind’of unit shall go— RooseveH volunteers or a contingent of trained guardsmen or regulars. We submit in all wisdom that this question should be decided by the Presi- dent and his war experts. We believe the ques- tion of the contingent Which shall accompany the Colonel! is one that should be decided by the army allied advisers. The conduct of the war should be intrusted wholly to the men trained and selected to handle our war problems. If they are incompetent, dis- place them, but our trained soldiers are our only safe guides in war. Col. Roosevelt has said he will go in any hon- orable capacity with any force selected. The way is open to utilize him. Send him to the front with the first unit. == = — = ALIEN RESIDENT RULES. The Government's stringent regulations pro- hibiting unnaturalized persons of German birth from entering certain parts of the city should be taken by those affected as a sensibie precau- tion of war and not as an expression of enmity. Prompt compliance with them will save trouble. They may involve great inconvenience to indi- viduals, but that is an inevitable consequence of war, It is the part of wisdom for alien enemy sub- jects to report as soon as possible to the author- ities. A form of parole which, should mitigate much of the inconvenience has been perfected by wistrict Attorney Oliver. For each paroled man a “supervisor” will be appointed: who) will act as his adviser and his intermediary with the Gov- ernment, The parole will entitle him to liberty of action provided he does not enter forbidden districts. It is quite probable that special per- mission to enter proscribed territory for satis- factory cause and for a definite time will be ex- tended upon application. All surface indications are that the regula- tions will be rigorously enforced when the plan is in complete operation. ‘Aliens who presume upon the laxity of the authorities will be taking unwise and unnecessary risks. One does not have to wait until he is arrested to ask for a parole. One will save himself and Government officers a great deal of annoyance by applying for the privilege as soon as possible. It must be remembered that ‘first papers” do not grant im- munity. One must be a fully naturalized citizen of the United States to escape the barred zone restrictions. aa Tv? THE FUND FOR THE BLIND. About $14,000 is needed to make up the $50,000 fund to enable the Missouri Commission for the blind to carry on the work of providing employ- ment for blind persons and to prevent blindness in infants. The campaign to raise the fund will end on Thursday night. Sympathy for the blind is universal. It is rec- ognized that, in most cases, blindness is not a pun- ishment. It is a result of accident, sickness, ig- norance and other causes, sometimes difficult to discover. And its victims, when handicapped by poverty, are of all men and women the most help- less. St. Louis will be ¢hamed before the world if this fund is not subscribed, so that the blind of this city may be cared for.as formerly. Failure to make up the full amount of the fund will be taken as evidence that the public cares nothing for the welfare of the blind. It will be used as an excuse for refusing appropriations by future legis- lative bodies. And the blind will become help- fess public burdens. The city cannot afford to permit such a stigma on its reputation. = — —— i i ART TREASURES AND THE WAE. The private and public collections of works of art that adorned the homes and museums of the Belgian and French towns witnin the occupied area are said to be selling at bargain prices in |Berlin and other German cities. The private homes of the French and Belgians have, as we know, been systematically pillaged; it is too early to de- termine the extent of the plundering of the public museums, though it has probably been equaliy thorough. There is small consolation now in citing the usage of civilized warfare which has lent an in- violable character to works of art of the enemy; but the day of reckoning will come as surely to the Germans as it came to Napoleon. It will be re- called that in the Italian campaigns of the French in 1796 and 1797, all but one of the smal] Italian states were compelled to give up their art treas- ures to Napoleon. Not only were the chief cities stripped of their famous paintings, but their val- en away as well. Thus the Apollo Belvedere, the Dying Gladiator, the Medicean Venus, the Laccoon, the Corinthian Horses and other pieces, found their way to Paris and to the Louvre. After “The Hundred Days,” when the allied; the fighting forces at the front would be a won- ] armies entered Paris for the second time, it w promptly made plain to the French that this 1 must be restored. A rule of law even then in ex- istence reeognized such works as unappropriable heritages of civilization. Even the Prussians up- held the British in this stand, citing the fact that Frederick the Great had twice spared the famous gallery of Dresden after it was in his power. + +. rr ball NO MONEY BAR TO SERVICE. The adoption of the bill pending in Congress to pay men who enter the training camps of the officers’ reserve corps would go far to wipe out all difficulties in the way of.keeping the camps filled and would open the officers’ reserve to ca- pable men who are now, for pecuniary reasons, restrained from taking the training course. Paying the men would be just because they enter the Government service when they enter the camps. for service by solving the problem of young mar- ried men with dependents. The business methods of the Government, with regard to men ertlisting for thé reserves should be reformed. As enlistments have been handled here- tofore, in both the army and navy, the applicants have been compelled to advance the money for car fare and for, at* least, temporary living ex- penses. As a result, poor young men, just as capable and qualified as those able to supply im- mediate expense money, have been debarred from enlistment. ; The money for expenses should be supplied at once by the Government to the men who enlist for training camps and training schools. There should be no money bar to service for any young American. With ample funds supplied by Congress the army and navy departments should be able to meet all needs of this kind. = = a The raise in prices recently announced by the coal dealers might be regarded as an unfriendly act by the ice men. Hitherto the month of May has been devoted to the uplift of their business. i A Le , = COAL AT $6 A TON. Another boost sends the price of staple grades of coal] up to the vicinity of $6 a ton in St. Louis. The cost. of some grades for domestic uses has practically doubled in six months, As in the re- cent past a shortage.in railroad cars is given as the cause of the new advance. But what the-pub- lic wants to Know is how much car shortage is required to justify tach $1 of ftmcrease in price. If a scarcity of cars in a certain degree afford an excuse for the $5 a ton of which consumers’ have been robbed during most of the past. win- ter, how much of a scarcity justifies $6 a ton? Why not $10 a ton or $12? It costs no more in freight charges to transport the coal from the near-by mines when cars are scarce than when cars are plentiful. The miners are receiving only moderate increases, over their former wages. Who is getting the money when the price is forced up nearly 100 per cent? A vig- orous proceeding by the Federal District Attor- ney or the St. Louis Circuit Attorney might give the consumer the satisfaction of knowing that. And it might do more. Have all force and ef- ficacy gone out of the law since the local ice com- bine was brought to time and the Lumber Trust disciplined? = L —~ S - The French War Department in a special an- nouncement tells of the fine work of the Ameri- can aviators in the Lafayette Escadrille. The American aviators now training in this country are having an enviable standard set for them. = = Tv SWEDEN’S ANTIQUE GOVERNMENT. Workingmen in Sweden, too, are demanding a closer approximation to popular government. This small country, discreetly governed in the main, presents some strange survivals of antique mon- archial forms. The King is empowered to legis- ldte on nratters of trade and on other subjects and to prescribe police regulations and has other pre- rogatives that ought long ago to have been abol- ished. There is a property qualification for voters and while no issue has arisen lately to empha- size its importance, the principle of ministeria] responsibility to the legislature has never had complete acknowledgment. The Swedish people, accustomed to contrast their own happier state with that of their op- pressed Russian neighbors, are justified in re- minding their King that it is about time for a few progressive changes, now that the Russians are preparing to set up institutions as liberal as any in the world. (= S Vs a ies Complaint made in the Reichstag of the faulty condition of German submarines indicates that Berlin isn’t as satisfied with the results of its ruthlessness as it pretends to be. ha di di : - wa ¢g THE HYMN OF LIBERTY. The “Marsetilaise” hymn which St. Louis schoo! children will sing in honor of the visit of Gen. Joffre and his illustrious compatriots has justly been considered ‘the greatest battle song that ever was written. It is the anthem not only of France but of democracy throughout the world. For more than a century its martial air and its passionate words have been an inspiration wher- ever men were fighting for liberty and honor. Indeed the terrible words of this old, exultant call to sacrifice have but one parallel in litera- ture and that, curiously enough, is an English paraphrase of the same hymn and sung to the same music. It cannot be called a translation ex- cept in the sense that a translation conveys the’ sentiment rather than the phrasing of the origi- nal. Its author is at present unknown, yet sure- ly Rouget de Lisle himself reached no higher plane of patriotic fervor than this forgotten poet did in his concluding stanza: O, Liberty’ Can man resign thee, Once having felt thy gen’rous flame” Can Pi bars and bolts confine thee, Or whips thy noble spirit tame? Too long the world has wept, bewailing That falsehood’s dagger tyrants wield! But Preedom is our sword and shield, And all their arts are unavailing! This stanza indeed seems the superior of its French ancestor. No people which has the words of either the French or the English version en- graved on its heart will ever refuse any sacrifice to uphold so glorious an ideal, : ] It would equalize the opportunity | ‘Naas Wn SR I . oe te ‘ oo _ - - Tt cues ? 4 oe Oy . ye Ree eh Sa re 4 %: ete * = od rhs. 4h ** . ~ 6 “Viet fe § Ste. oe tee’ be! 4 to at) : Bees “Le £5 b) ¢ 3 a > ~* ar, % (we =e Set Fra a se $ «© eo ¢ .

Another prolific source of help in the matter of coloring is to be found in the silks used in Chinese and Japanese embro’ teries. The Oriental «nows exactly how to use his colors. He makes no mistakes, and into a blue or violet design can intro- duce a touch of flame coror tnat ts perfect. He may be classed also, un- ‘fortunately, as among the people who ‘“‘cannot be imitated.” For, although easy to borrowe from, his spontaneity is beyond the grasp of the most artistic Vesterner. We mielt not be invariably wise, either, in tryiag to follow him in his choice of a sudden and startling contrast, for, lacking his quality of spontaneity and his knowl- edge of perfect balance, we are apt to overdo, or leave undone, some subtle and essential touch, some shading and blending of colors that has escaped our notice. Nevertheless, in composing a room where you desire purple to prepona- derate, take all the hints you can gath- er from both the Chinese and Japanese and, @qually, from their brocade or their embroideries. But be careful how you attempt to walk in their steps as regards the use, with purple, of lemon yellow, of orange or red, The introduction into a modern room, which is already principally purple, of lemon yellow or orange, splendid as these colors are in themselves, is apt to prove fatal to the repose of the room and often throws the entire scheme be- yond recall. Beyond recall seems an arbitrary way of stating the case, yet it is a true one, because the eye so often loses its quest while rioting among wrong tones, and does not always suc- ceed in discovering the secret of the mischief and casting out the offender. There is one way only of using yel- low or orange with purple tones, and that is when a post-impressionist effect is desired. Then use, and the freer the better for your purpose, every bit of pure, bright, primary color that can be found, violet, red, yellow, green and blue. The effect will, of course, be far from peaceful, and, as a rule, such a room is quickly exchanged for one where the coloring allows the eye some- where to rest without distraction, be- cause few people will long endure the excitement produced by mixed and pri- mary colors, although many certainly take delight in composing such a room. There are plenty of fabrics being sold this year which are calculated to lead the unwary into the path of a ‘“‘telling,” or bizarre, room. Before many weeks have passed such a room fails to bring pleasure, while the room where purples prevail grows daily in favor. One finds, too, a delight in the discovering of blues and greens, whether in pieces of em- broidery or brocade, in china, pottery or cushions, which mingle beautifully with the purples. Successfully carried out, a violet room is as beautiful, and 8 rich, as the blended colors of the peacock’s tail. Toy Industry in-America Grows Rapidly. ECENT official! statistics show that he the growth of the toymaking in- dustry in the United States since the grandfathers of the present genera- tion were children has been remark- able. While the population has grown but 219 per cent since 1859, the per capita expenditure for toys has increased by 1165 per cent, says Popular Mechanics. The toy factories have increased in number from only 12 in 1859 to 290 in 1914—the year of the latest returns—and the annua] output has increased in value from $184,000 to $13,757,000.

ELENIUM The Miracle Worker N= we are ready to explain what selenium will be able to do in a practical way for mankind. “Already we are able to send the hu- man voice thousands of miles by means of electricity. We can reproduce hand- writing great distances away by means of an ingenious electrical instrument called the telautograph. Selenium en- ables us to transmit photographs over wires, just as sound and writing are transmitted. The instrument used for this purpose ig called the telephoto- graph by its inventor, Prof. Korny 3 German scientist. Prof. Korn’s appar- atus {s not new. It has, been known to us for many years. However, recent improvements have brought it more se- riously before the public. “No attempt will be made here to give a detailed description of the de- vice. In brief, however, a pinhole beam of light is made to travel over a photo- graph in the same manner as a phono- graph needle moves across the record. The reflection of this beam of light is made to fall on a selenium cell, which is simply a series of tiny metal plates separated by very thin layers of seleni- um. The intensity of this reflected light will vary according to whether It travels over a light spot or a dark spot on the photograph. The selenium is af- fected by this varying light and allows a certain amount of electric current to pass through it for each variation of light. This constantly changing cur- rent may be sent many miles through wires, and, by means of ingenious in- struments, may be made to reproduce the photograph with great exactness. ‘‘Already certain European newspa- pers have installed telephotographs and are able to reproduce pictures and pho- tographs taken hundreds of miles away a few moments after they are taken. The identification of criminals can be made to precede them in every town and village to which they may be likely to flee. “Countless uses will be made of. this We shall all live to see the time when American newspa- pers will be able to print photographs taken on the very day of their publica- tion in far-off -Europe.or Africa. “But a greater and more amazing thing has been predicted. Some day, by means of a combination of the tele- photograph and the motion picture, we may be able to) sit in auditoriums and actually watch events taking place at the identical moment in places’ miles away. Californians will be able to wit- ness a Presidential inauguration in Washington, a boat race in the Hudson, or a battle between warring nations at the very moment these things are tak- ing place. It is far from impossiblé; it is probable. “And all because nature provided us thousands of years ago with that evil- smelling brown powder—selenium.”’ Missing Something. RS. MILLIO’V BUCKS: Your maid is getting a. .g in years, isn’t she? Mrs. Thousandbucks: Oh, yes. “Her eyesight is not as good as it used to be I suppose?” “Oh, no. Why, only today she was asking me if there was such a thing as a keyhole with a magnifying giass in THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1917. nti EGETABLE seed for planting should be ordered at once, So a8 to be on hand as soon as the weather end ccndition of the soil make planting possible. Before ordering seed, the home gardener would do well to look over his garden plot, decide on the best location for each vegetable, and deter- mine how much seed he will require fcr the space available for each variety. He will find it nelpful to make a rough plan of his garden, on a large sheet of wrapping paper. On this plan he cau indicate the spaces to be used for each variety and als», by means of colored pencils or symbols,show where a second crop is to bé pidated or interplanted between the growing rows, and also ar- range for the second and third crops which are to follow those previously harvested. Such a plan will enable hit to keep the garden busy all season, sup- plying fresh vegetables during the sum- mer and producinz, in the late fall, root and other crops for winter use. Once the heavy preliminary ‘spading and working of tha garden has been done, it is about as easy to raise two or three crops as to keep the garden clean of weeds to produce only one picking. The specialists advise those who are nov used to gardening, or wish to have their children take an irterest in the garden, to hire a laborer -o do the heavy prelim- inary spading or breaking up of the soil. This heavy work frequently disgusts novices and children, who would contin- ue to take an interest in the garden, if their task were simply to fine and culti- vate soil already broken up. The following amounts of seed the gar- den specialists of the-United States De- partment of Agriculture say are needei to plant approximately 100 feet.of row, or enough to supply vegetables for a Vegetable Seed fora Family of Four | family of four: Beans, snap, 1 pint; beans, pole lima, % pint; beans, bush lima, % pint to 1 pint; cabbage, early; % ounce; carrots, 1 ounce; cauliflower, 1 packet; celery, 1 packet; cucumbers, 4% ounce; eggplant, 1'‘packet; kale, or Swiss chard, % ounce; parsley, 1 packet; parsnips, % ounce; salsify, 1 ounce; squash, summer, % ounce; squash, Hub- bard type, % ounce. The following vegetables, the special- ists say, will undoubtedly be planted in larger amounts than those just men- tioned, and the amounts of seed given will be a guide for ordinary require- ments. Some families may need more of the varicus vegetables and others wil! need less: Beet, ‘4 ounces; cabbage, late, % ounce to 1 ounce; corn, swet, 1 pint; lettuce, 1 ounce; muskmelon, 1 ounce; onion sets, 2 quarts; peas, garden, 2 to 4 quarts; radish, 1 to 2 ounces; spinach, \% pound in epring and % pound in fall; tomatoes, late, % ounce; turnips, % pound; watermelon, 1 ounce. The string beans, bush lim beans, sweet corn, lettuce, peas and radishes will not all be planted at one time, but successive plantings two to three weeks apart will be made, so as to have a fresh supply throughout the season. Of early Irish potatoes, 1 peck to % bushel will be required, and of late po- tatoes, % bushel to 1 bushel, or more, depending upon the amount of ground available for this purpose.

Curie. “It is. said that when she was requested by the President to give a special demonstration of. radium and its marvels before the Shah of Persia, she amazed his serene highness by showing much more concern for her tiny tube of white powder than for his distinguished favor. When the royal guest, who had never felt any particu- lar need of exercising self-control, saw ing his age. the uncanny light that was able to pass through plates of iron, he gave a startled exclamation and made a sudden movement that tipped over the scien- tist’s material. Now it was the lady professor’s turn to be alarmed. To pa- cify her, the Shah held out a costly ring from his royal finger, but this ex- traordinary woman with the pale face paid not the slightest attention; she could not be bribed to forget the peril of her precious radium.

Nineteen years ago two thousand people bought The Saturday Evening Post; today two million buy it. Slowly, steadily, resistlessly, week by week, month by month, “year by year, it has forged ahead, not only in the volume, but in the character of its circulation, until today it is the dominant publication of America. It is big because intelligent America is big and because it faithfully re- flects dominant American ideas. The Saturday Evening Post is not bought for its shape, though most periodicals are following it into the “flat” size. It.is not bought for its make-up, though most periodicals have sincerely flat 2red it in this respect, _.too.- Nor is it bought for a book or any othe premium, because it . is never given away with premiums. It stands f:’m-footed on its merits and its price. It is bought by people who want to read it. The Saturday Evening Post is not a news weekly, because the daily can handle day-by-day news better than any periodical; but in its editorials and special articles written by the men ‘in America and Europe best informed on their subjects, it comments on and supplements the news of national and international importance. - Wherever important things are happening, wherever history is in the making, the trained correspondents of The Saturday Evening Post will be found, getting, weighing and sifting the facts for Post readers. Whenever a big man has a big thing to say, or an important idea to get before the country, he naturally turns to The Saturday Evening Post. It does not publish articles based on half truths. Circulation stimulated by sensations has no solid or permanent value. It is an illustrated but’ not a “picture” weekly. Picture weeklies. are skimmed through. The Saturday Evening Post is read through. ' The Saturday Evening Post is not a “story paper” but it publishes the best stories that are written —those distinctively American stories the country has come to know as Post stories because they deal with the life, work and affairs of the American people in original, vigorous and vital ways: man’s stories—the struggles, the tragedies, the triumphs of the world that works—the tremendous drama of the little fellow in shop, in store, in office—the swift, vivid romance of American business—the strivings of its captains, its kings—their littleness, their bigness, their ruthlessness, their kindliness, their adventures, their battles—the chronicle of the camp followers and guerillas of finance—their “treasons, stratagems and spoils”—stories that lead through wilderness, village and city to the farthest bounds of the seven seas—tragic stories, humorous stories, love stories, but always stories of real men and women—stories with happy and unhappy endings, but never dull stories. ‘The Saturday Evening Post has become the dominant publication of America because it has the American pioneer spirit. It has never been satisfied to follow a leader. It has always sought and welcomed new blood, encouraged and developed new writers and artists. It is always just ahead of the periodicals that follow the blazed trail. Every issue of The Saturday Evening Post is a week of American Life. Every issue has two million man-power behind it, with two million family- buying-power for the advertiser.

The bulletin also includes other striking sta- tistics of vital interest in the present situation. “During the last quarter of a century there has been a startling falling-off in the percentage of Germans in the total number of immigrants who have come to our shores,’’ says the bulletin. ‘With more than 17,000,000 immigrant arrivals since 1890 only 1,023,000 have been Ger- mans, whereas in the 114 years between the establishment of the American: re- public and 1890 out of a total of 1,- 689,000 immigrants there were 5,126,000 Germans—every third arrival a Teuton. “If from the 1,023,000 who have come to America since 1890, the period of greatest influx of foreigners, a proper deduction is made for those who re- turned to their homeland and those who have died since their arrival it wilt be seen that there are fewer than a million former subjects of the Kaiser in this country who have not been here more than 26 ‘years. Of more,than 8,000,000 people of German birth and immediate ancestry among us less than 1,000,000 fail to have the background of birth or long residence in America behind them. What Figures Show. “An examination of the statistics of American immigration shows that since the foundation of our Government the United Kingdom of Great Britaih and Ireland has contributed 8,400,000 of he people and Germany more than 6,000, Ireland with more than 4,000,000; Great Britain, with a little less than 4,000,000, and Scandinavia, with something less than 2,000,000, have, together with, Ger- many, contributed more than half of the total immigration to our shores since the beginning of the Revolutionary War. ‘“‘Austria-Hungary stands next on the list of contributors to the immigrant stream that has flowed from Europe to America. Although Austro-Hungarians began to immigrate in considerable numbers only when the arrivals from Western Europe had begun to fall off, sufficient have come from the dual mon- archy to populate the State of Texas to its present density. Italy has sent us enough of her people to duplicate the population of Montana, Wyoming, Ida- WOLFF.

SAVANNAH, Ga., May 3.-—A year of prohibition in Georgia has worked many wonders, but nowhere in the State has the change for the better been as pronounced as in this city, the largest seaport, south of Baltimore and the greatest seaport in the State. With the name of being Georgia's Wwickedest city, Savannah, in less than a year, has become one of the most law-abiding communities. Prohibition had to fight its way into Savannah. For many.years the city was controlled by Mayors who believed the sale of whisky was essential to the prosperity of, the community. There was one Mayor during that time who believed that liquor should not be sold cn the Sabbath, and his fellow-citizens relegated him to political oblivion at the end of his first term. There was another who believed that, being a sea- port, Savannah should be wide open. And the people kept him in office for something like four terms of two years each. He Enforced the Law. The present Mayor, Wallace J, Pier- pont, president of the Pierpont Manu- facturing Co. and a man of large af- fairs, became the executive through; the death of the man elected to that office. He announced his intention of enforc- ing the new dry law effective May l, 1916. He shut the ‘town up tight, and he has kept it shut. It is harder to get a drink in Savannah now than it is in Atlanta or- Macon or Augusta. The town has become a Sahara. “They can never enforce the prohibi- tion law in Savannah," was the way the politicians—especially the ‘‘wet’’ pal- iticlans—spoke of it. But prohibition is enforced in Savannah. The saloon is|/f gone, the near-beer joint is no more, the speak-easy is almost obliterated, and }. nowhere can a man buy a drink with- out feeling that directly the place is going to be pulled, with him held as a material witness. This 12 months of drouth has brought a better Savannah. Many of the sa- loons of other days have become cigar stores. Some of them have become candy stores. Others are millinery stores and one or more i8 a shoe store. A corner on Broughton and Drayton streets, in the center of the business 2nd theatrical districts, that had been used as a saloon for something like 100 years, is now a fruit store. The barrooms in the hotels have been turned into sample rooms for drummers instead of sample rooms. for tipplers. The lessee of the De Soto Hotel, one of the biggest-and most prominent hostel- ries in the city, says he would not have a saloon in his basement again for any money. And yet for 20 years after the hotel was built much of itg revenue came from this portion of It. Accounts unpaid for years were set- tled in full after the advent of prohibi- tion. The men who owed them could no longer buy booze. The proprietors of one store protested to the Mayor that their business would be ruined. ‘‘We sell to negroes $1500 worth of gin and other liquors a month,” they said. “That money we may as well kiss good-by if we cannot furnish the negroes their drinks.” But they have informed the Mayor that their business has increased under the dry regime. The money the negroes for- merly spent for booze they now spend for meat and bread. Mayor Pierpont, in an address before a prohibition rally in Atlanta just prior to the assembling of the extraordinary “bone dry”’ Legislature, recently ad- journed, read some figures into the pro- hibition record that gives some idea of what a dry Savannah has done for its shiftless and part criminal class. Shows Less Crime. He had figures for about 10 months ot Savannah’s record under prohibi- tion, a8 compared -with the same period for the previous year. These. figures showed a reduction of 49 per cent in arrests for assault with in- tent to murder; burglary cases were cut 47 per cent, and disorderly cases were reduced from 1197 to 348. Lu- nacy trials were cut in half. In fact, all crimes, taking the largest reduc- tions with the smallest, have been reduced 560 per cent through the op- eration, of the dry laws. Charity work has become less urgent. The newspapers and the fraternal organizations that gave away Christmas baskets in Savannah last December found that prohibitio in six months’ time was filling bread baskets that had long been empty and was clothing @#omen and chil- dren who had long been ulmost naked. Where succor had been sought dur- ing the Christmas holidays of 1915, it was declined with thanks during the same period of 1916. The cause was not far to seek. The bread win- ner of the family had quit paying toll to the saloonkeeper. The grocer’s til’ and the cash gregister of the clothing merchant and shoe man, long dontied their proper ratio of the earn- ings of the head of the house, had come back into their vwn, and the women and chfldren were the. gainers thereby. Laws cannot make all men law- abiding. But the anti-liquor law in Savannah is obeyed sufficiently to cut down the ratio of @her crimes to a point that is most acceptable to all who enjoy. liberty in a law- abiding community. The man who runs for office in Savannah in the future on a platform of a “wide-open town” will have rough sledding.

By RICHARD L. STOKES. HEN Arthur Nikisch, assuming W the directorship of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, first heard that astounding organization of virtu- osos play, he exclaimed» ‘‘All I have t do is poetize!”” Nikisch’s'instrument wa Emil Oberhoffer, conductor of the Min- neapolis Sy mphony Orchestra, has con- structed his own instrument, in the 17 years since he founded it, and today can and does poetize upon it with rare warmth and delicacy of imagination. This he proved in a delectable concert last night at the Temple Theater, Alton, where the Minneapolis orchestra opened that city’s spring musical festival and the celebration of the silver anniversary of the Dominant Ninth Choral Society, directed by Mrs. C. B. Rohland. The4 orchestra gives a second concert at the same place thie afternoon, and tonight will accompany the choral club in a ‘“‘Mors et Vita’’ and . ‘‘Redemption.’’ Oberhoffer Has “Heart.” Oberhoffer is not one of the tem- peramental school of: conductors and bears himself on the dais with a dig- nity in which even Max Zach could pick few flaws; but the Minneapolis conductor possesses a romantic fire with which every moment of his inter- pretation is instinct. His handling of the orchestra was like that of a high- ly gifted elocutionist reading a poem— every syllable had its fitting stress and modulation, was uttered in an orches- tral voice of remarkable loveliness and bore its own message of emotion and thought. This feat the director nciniinabtiias’ with an econgmy of motion reminiscent of Dr. Karl Muck of the Boston or- chestra, although Oberhoffer far sur- passes that eminent musician in poetic feeling. The Minneapolis director proved once more that above all mere intellectual brilliance, above the clever- est possible mastery of the technique of music, there stands one quality more precious and more indispensable to the artist than any other, and this is heart and es tenes hestra Responsive to Leader Alt “of Oberhoffer’s truly lyric in nis deftness and finesse, his almost feminine daintiness, OHO 000 HOO HOSPITAL UNIT ABOUT READY Miss Julia Stimson, head nurse of the Louis Base Hospital Unit No. 21 St. | No. F Ay ORCHESTRA CONCERT announced today that the nurses, phy- sicilans and other members of the unit, numbering about 228, will be mobilized a> aE So.

Double Plays That Set the Fans Pop-Eyed. ee INEFFECTIVE Former Tiger-Tamer Lasts Only Three Innings Against the Junglemen. By W. J. O’Connor. John Lavan is hitting much less than his weight; but should his aver- age shrink to the size of his chapeau, he still would be an invaluable asset to the Browns. Defensively he is peerless in his chosen profession and not entirely because he figured in two most dazzling double plays yesterday. There has been cumulative evidence this season to make the first state- ment stand up. However, Lavan was the instigator of one and the middle man in another double-killing, yesterday, that thrilled the 1500 chilled spectators from the end of their toes to the top of their thought towers... It was vicious, per- nicious work, grinding out a tol of dead Tigers like a machine gun trained on a massed formation of Teutons.

Burns came next. He drove a mean grounder at Kenworthy, who came up.clean with the ball. As he did Lavan, who had been playing a deep short, ran towards first. Ken- worthy handed “Doc” John the ball before he reached the bag and John- ny kicked the old cushion, forcing eilman and rifled to Sisler, nipping Burns by the breath of a hair. Jones Guesses It Right. : The spectators stood on their hind legs and screamed their approbation, but as’ Al Jolson gaid: “They hadn't seen nothing, yet.” The piece de re- sistance was to follow. In the sixth inning the Tigers again filled the bases with nobody out. Bad throws by Sisler and Groom to Kenworthy, who muffed what he'might have held, accounted for two of the men get- on.

SEVEREID OVERLOOKS CHANCE TO MAKE COBB LOOK LIKE A BUSHER 8:30 Hank Seyereid could be accused of failing to think in yesterday’s game, and it would take a good lawyer to clear him of the charge. In the third inning, when Groom re- lieved Weilman, with the bases filled and none out, Heiman tapped an easy one té6 Groom, was played the ball to Severeid. Han dec ed to seek the double play at first, d Cobb, who had moved from second to third, took his usual desperate chance. He had rounded third and was stealthily creep- ing along ready to dash home if Severeid threw to Sisler. He-anticipated such a mova. He .was thinking fast. Not so well with Severeid. After he ef- faced the man at the plate he stood looking at first. Austin screamed for the ball, but Cobb was able to scamper back before a play could be made on him. chance here for Severeid to bluff a throw to first, and then ah Cobb. A dead gure chance, too, and nothing would have pleased the fans more. Any time you make Cobb look like a busher, the fans are highly clatgd. here was a TIMELY HITTING GIVES CENTRAL 11-6 VICTORY Central High, aervous from lack of work, tore into Cleveland at High School Field yesterday afternoon and won easily by a score of 11—6. Schulz‘s inability to control the ball with any degree of certainty, coupled with Cen- tral’s savage attack in the pinch, re- sulted in the complete rout of the South Siders. Schulz allowed rine hits and eight of them figured in the scoring. Cleveland also secured nine aits, but they were Scattered over almost as many innings. A single and a triple by Whitbred were the only Cleveland hits that came at op- portune times. The rest were wasted. Schifecher did most of the timely swatting for Centrai, although Larmore and Moroney trailed at his heels. In the first.inning neither team scored but Central seored four in the second or three passes, an error, a hit and a sac- rifice fly. One in the fifth, two in the seventh, three in the eighth and another in the ninth finished the Central scor- ing. Cleveland tallied three in the third ane one each in the fifth and ninth. Weidlich pitched a good me for Central. He was master of the situa- tion throughout. He seems to have over- come his tendency toward the erratic, his steadiness and control being the fea- ture of the game. Centrals vs. Yeatman Today. Central and Yeatman will Play at High School Field teday at 3:30. Central’s victory over Clevelar.d boosts their stock consider- cee b Also with com tive scores as a basis for comparison Central is slightly fa- vored.

The contest will take place at the Harlem’ Sporting as the probable referee. This fight has been transferred often- er than Clarence the Cop, since the lid agitation became acute. Originally scheduled to take place in Oklahoma several months ago, and called off be- cause of .gubernatorial interference, it has, sinee that time, twice been sched- uled in Kansas City and twice in New York. “This match looks like a Jinx for me and perhaps I ought never to meet Moran,’’ Morris said jokingly. ‘“‘But I'll take a chance. I want to beat all these heavyweights who want to box Willard so that I can then force him to meet me. “T understand that he doesn’t want to fight me. I don’t pay myself the compliment of believing that it is be- cause he fears me. He asked me once for a match when he needed it finan- cially, and I/turned him.down.

Column + (Sonetivs McGILLICUDDY is back, partly at least, from the nether bor- derline of the baseball world. Connie is now being credited with owning a workable- outfit, which is everr conceded a chance to finish outside of last place. And, as Connie himself has aaid, | any American League team that can keep out of last place, this season, has a chance to win the flag. So the Mackmen might be argued into a peep at first division. Out here that peep appears to be through the wrong end ot the opera glasses, so distant is the prospect. And yet Mack is winning: games and will win more. Veterans Save Mack’s Club. N improving his club Connie’ has drifted away from tradition which attached his name to a strong prefer- ence for kindergarten talent and ex- tremely raw —and cheap — material. Two of the factors that are expected to add strength to the Mackmen are Ping Bodie, who is .up in the big leagues for the second time. and Cy Falkenberg, a 36-year old hurler who has run the blockade of the minor lentrues and landed in a major port several times. He also pitched the Indianapolis Federal League club into a pennant. The mainatays of Mack’s strength are not men that he has devel- oped from the raw stuff, but hang- overs from his world’s champion- ship team—Joe Bush, Strunk, Schang and McInnis. These men are good enough to be on world’s titlé team.. With a little pitching aid it is conceivable that Mack will at least escape the last_place ignominy, this season. Who.is to be elected to replace it on the bottom affords some puzzling speculation. Washington is the only club that seems weak enough to go below the Athletics, and even then, if Walter Johnson holds his arm, it is. hard to see the Athletics. The Weak Sister. HE National League appears to be approaching a state where it may be alluded to as “‘venerable,’’ without insulting it. There are those who hint that “decrepit’’ is the better word. Facing war times and attendant draw- backs, the hfgh cost of living and a 10 per cent gross receipts tax by the U. S. the organization is strugglin along on some very weak financia underpinning. The Boston National shouldering an League is imposing overhead Batting and Fielding Figures of St. Louis Players expense in the shape of a big salary list, interest on a nuge investment and the necessity of retiring a cer- tain percentage of its bonds. Pittsburg is still suffering from the drain involved in the construction of the big plant at Forbes Field. Brooklyn had to issue popular stock last year, and was none too prosperous despite winning the cham- pionship. : ; Philadelphia was in the clear, last season, thanks to two good years in succession; but it has no overpow- ering surplus. Chicago was almost a loser last year, but has two wealthy “an- in Messrs. Weeghman and Wrigley. Cincinnati ‘“‘got by” last year, but is not a strong club financially. As for our Cardinals, they owe $175,000. They face the necessity of a new grandstand and also need money to buy players. Thus, the only gilt-edxed National League team financially is the Giants. When we add that the race is said to be a runaway event for New York with the East outclassing the Western teams in strength, we merely ham another nail in the hypothetical coffin. i - ‘ American League Stronger. OR will the American escape un- scathed if the war clouds descend instead of lift. Connie Mack: has been dealt some staggering blows in the past two seasons, and Washington is a consistent low-income club.

Louisyare all founded on financial Gibra a. Tie owners of all these clubss have the means to stand an awful financial rap, if need be. There isn’t a weakling or a piker fn this bunch; and at the head of all is the Dictator Ban B. Johnson, to whom we remove our chapeau in ap- preciation of his 16 seasons of able directorship and farsightedness. Quick peace would turn a dubious outlook in both leagues to a fair rospect. But—even the Amerjoean eague, despite the prospect of a i great race, cannot hope for a normal season if war continues; especially if a war tax is levied, m Right Up to Date ——_— BROWNS.

LONDON, May 3.—In the House of Lords yesterday the Archbishop of Can- terbury raised the question of the recent bombing of Freiburg by French and En- glish aviators in retaliation for outrages perpetrated by the German fleet.

Earl Council, Curzon, member of the War replying for the Government, said that after the ‘‘abominable out- rage’ the hospital ship Asturias, the War Cabinet had decided to execute the threat of reprisals made in January. “We consulted the French upon the matter,” Earl Curzon continued, ‘and tney appr»ved of the plan and expressed a desire to co-operate. It was then de- cided to carry out the bombing raid on Freiburg. The Government, however, consulted the imperlal war conference which also concurred, and also was de- cided that no reprisals would be under- taken after this if the Germans ceased their attacks on hospital ships.
