Machine Guns Posted in Trees Retard English Ad- vance in Center of Long Front. By Associated Press. LONDON, May 4.—The British last night made progress northwest of St. Quentin and northwest of Haricourt, @eapturing Malakoff Farm, the War Office announced today. On the Arras front, the British have main- tained their hold on Fresnoy and all the positions captured in that neigh- borhood in yesterday’s drive. The British were compelled to fall back from ‘the advanced positions captured yesterday in the neighbor- hood of Cherisy and astride the Ar- ras-Cambrai road, the statement adds. The official statement reads: “The village of Fresnoy and our post- tions which we had captured north and south of it were oo es to severe hostile counter-attacks yesterday even- ing. All our positions in this neighbor- hood were maintained and the enemy repulsed. “Severe fighting has taken place im] the neighborhood of Bullecourt. East of the village the enemy made a heavy counter-attack last night upon the sec- tor of the Hindenburg line captured by us yesterday. The attempt failed com- pletely and the enemy's attacking “Fighting also took place during the night in the neighborhood of Cheris, and astride the Arras-Combrei road. In . these areas our troops were compellec ‘to fall back from the advanced posi- tions captured by them during the day. “We made further progress during tre Might northwest of St. Quentin and northeast of Hargicourt, where we cap- tured the Malakoff farm.”’ : Points Fiercely Contested. Reuter’s correspondent at British headquarters telegraphs this morning that on the south bank of the Scarpe the British pushed forward, overcoming the resistance of machine-gun posts which abound all along this ground. They have established themselves in the sunken d, near Pelves Mill, which has a dip of nine feet and offers possibilities for offense and defense. At Roeux, which is directly opposite this new position, the Germans still remain in the fiercely contested chemical works, but the Brit- #ah have a series of posts astride the ground east of this place. East of Bullecourt, the Reuter corre- Spondent adds, the British are in Strength right across the Hindenburg line, a sector of which they hold run- ning i:: the direction of Queant.

McLaughlin of @116 Easton avenue pleaded gullty to coloring oleo- margarine in the Federal Court today and was fined $3000, which he paid. Oscar Holzboog, a baker, of 6118 Eas- ton avenue, who was jointly indicted with McLaughlin, joined the Missouri Naval Reserves a short time ago and was not in court. When Assistant United States Attorney White explained that Holzboog was at present at the Great Lakes Station in Chicago, Judge Dyer facetiously remarked: “Well, it would probably be just as well for him to go up there and get shot as to face this Court.” Holzboog will be brought to trial next week if the Navy Department will per- mit it. Otherwise the case will probably be postponed until after the war. WOMEN MAY GET PLACES OF RAILWAY CLERKS WHO ENLIST Majority of Transportation Workers, However, Are Expected to Be Exempted.

MASS, MEETING HERE 10 WELCOME FRENCH MISSION Marshal Joffre and Vice Premier Viviani to Deliver Addresses Sunday Night. PRESENTATION - Hero of Marne Will Bestow Em- blem to New Fifth Missouri Regiment. FLAG Arrangements have been completed for a public mass meeting. af the Coliseum Sunday night to extend a great welcome to Field Marshal Joffre, Vice Premier Viviani, Admiral Chocheprat and the other members of the French War Com- mission. Speeches in® French will be delivered by Marshal Joffre and M. Viviani, and then interpreted. The change in plans, which made pos- sible the Coliseum meeting, came as 2 result of an alteration in the time sched- ule of the French party’s itinerary. In- stead of arriving Monday morning, as originally intended, the distinguished visitors will reach St. Lowis at 7:30 p. m. Sunday, giving them an additional 12 hours in the city. Their departure will be at noon Monday, as originally planned. The arrangements vor the mass méet- ing were made last night by the Ex- ecutive Committee, of which Selden P. Spencer is chairman, in response to: a request from Marshal Joffre and M. Viviant that they be given an. oppor- tunity to meet the people of St. Louls, Coliseum to Open by 7 P. M. The Coliseum will be open to the gen- eral public, so that there will be ac- commodations for at least 12,000 persons. The doors will open by 7 p. m. or earlier, and exercises will begin at 8 o’clock, Upon its arrival the French war Mission will be driven immediately to the Coliseum. It is expected that 2000 school chil-j dren will be in seats to the rear of the platform. They will sing songs and wave flags. The Coliseum will be elab- orately decorated with French and American flags. One of the interesting features of the meeting will b> the presentation by Marshal Joffre in the name of the French Society of St. Louis of a United States flag to the officers of the new Missouri Fifth Regiment, now being recruited. On behalf of the French So- ciety, the flag will be handed to Marshal Joffre by Eugene Felix, veteran of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, the past president of the St. Louis Society. The Marshal of France will then present the flag to the regiment. Chairman Spencer said today that he hoped St. Louis would respond to this opportunity to extend a great publie welcome to the disetinguished guests. He hopes every seat in the Coliseum wi)! be occupied. Members of the Reception Committeé. mounted police and cavalry will meet the special train at some point not pub- licly announced and escort them to the Coliseum over a part of the route laid out for the Monday morning parade. Where Night Will Be Spent. After the Coliseum meeting, some of the members of the French Commission will go to the home of Third Assistant. Secretary of State Breckenridge Long, at 5145 Lindell boulevard, to spend the night, and others will be taken to the Hotel Jefferson. Some members of the commission may spend the night on board the special car provided for them by the United States Government.

Waves Red Cap, Bringing Repeated Bursts of Cheer- ing From Spectators. CHICAGO, May 4.-—The French en- voys arrived here at noon today for a two days’ stay. Marshal Joffre and for- mer Premier Viviani were greeted with cheers as they stepped: from the train. Major-General Barry, commander of the Central Department of the army, and his staff, and Mayor Thompson wel- comed the visitors to Chicago. Despite the precautions to keep secret the station at which the visitors would arrive there was a considerable crowd outside the train shed attracted there by the police detail and the detachment of the Illinois National Guard, the offi- cial escort. Crowds lined the streets as the procession traversed the down- town district and a roar of cheers greeted the Frenchmen when for the first time Chicago saw the military uni- form of France and the figure of her Marshal. The red cap of Marshal Joffre, waved in salute to the crowd, brought repeated burgts of cheers. Members of the mission rested on the special train during the first stage of the Middle Western and Eastern tour on which they started from Washington yesterday. As the route of the party was not made public, only a few persons knew of the passing of the distinguished Frenchmen. At Harper’s Ferry, W. Va., a brief stop was made for the party to view the scenery. At other points where stops were made for engine changes, small groups gathered about the party. At one place Gen. Joffre, through an in- terpreter, asked if the Mayor of the town was in the group. The Gencral was disappointed to learn he was not. A great crowd grouped at Union Sta- tion in Washington saw .the .party off. Gutsid2 on three tail flagstaffs the tlags of the United States, France and Great Britain were fiving. When the Visitors and their escort stepped from nutomobiles and walked to the train entrance the crowd separated, leaving a broad path, and cheered and applaud- ed. BUILDERS AND CARPENTERS SIGN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT Work Not to Step Pending Adjust- ment of Disputes; Raise in Wage Scale.

GERMANS HAVE FOOD FOR TWO YEARS, HOOVER DECLARES Says Bad Crop Is Only Chance of the People or the Army Starving. NEW YORK, May 4.—Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the American Commission for Relief in Belgium, be- fore leaving for Washington to make his teport on food conditions in Eurype to President Wilson today, declared there was only one chance of the German peo- jple or the army starving and that was a bad crop. He said the Germans were consuming food on a strictly scientific basis, but that even if they were to live on a much more liberal scale than at present they would have enough food at least for two years. For a year or more, he added, they have been using only the surplus of the cattle, keeping the base of the herd intact.

READY FOR THE SENATE House Committee Approves Measure Providing for Sur- vey and Curb on Speculation. WASHINGTON, May 4.—Representa- tive Lever today sought assurance of House leaders that action would be ta! €n next week on his administration bill authorizing the Government to. exercise broad powers over food production, dis- tribution and prices during the war. A Similar bill is ready for presentation to the Senate and both are supplementary to measures pending in Congress provid- ing for a survey of food conditions and looking to prevention of speculation. The purposes of the new Dill, Repre- sentative Lever explained, are ‘‘to stim- ulate production, to reduce waste, clear the channels of distribution, to to eliminate injurious speculation, to pro- hibit evil practices on exchanges, and to protect the public against extortion.’’ Administration officials believe the measure would have the effect of pre- venting the evils it seeks to eliminate, without the exercise of the powers au- wirtawe ovisions of New Bill. In re Dill it is proposed to empower the President under the war clause of the Constitution to take these measures whenever in his opinion the national emergency shall require: To fix maximum and minimum prices for food, clothing, fuel and other neces- sities, and the articles required for their production; To prescribe regulations to govern th: production of these commodities and, if necessary, to requisition the producing factories, mines or other ments; To compel holders of necessities to re- lease them in amounts insuring oe ble distribution; To regulate exchanges in such as way as to eliminate market manipulation; To compel railroads to give preference to the movement of necessities: To levy such importation duties as he finds necessary to prevent excessiv3 “dumping” of foreign products; To impose limitations or prohibitions upon the use of grain in the manufac- ture of liquor. In addition the Secretary of Agricul- ture would be empowered to establish standard food grades, to license and control the manufacture, storage and distribution of foods, to prescribe the percentage of flour to be milled from wheat and to regulate the mixing of wheat flour with other flour in the mak- ing of bread and other food. Committee Appreves Earlier Bill. The food measure introduced in the House earlier in the week, providing for-.a survey of the country's food re- sources &nd conferring certain powers to prevent food speculation, was or- dered favoratly reported from the Agriculture Committee yesterday. The committee reduced the appropria- tion carried from $25,000,000 to ap- proximately $20,000,000 and eliminated a section authorizing the Secretary of Agriculture to order the immediate sale of any food in such condition that unless promptly disposed of it would become unfit for use. The section will be incorporated in a coming third measure which is to con- fer broad powers on the Council of National Defense. “Factories, plants, mimes or other es- tablishments engaged in producing ne- cessafies may be requisitioned and op- erated by the Government if it be es- sential,” said Lever of the new Dill. ‘Just compensation for the use is pro- vided. The Government is further au- thorized to purchase, produce or other- wise to procure necessaries and to sell them at cost. ‘‘Powe: is granted to compel holders tc disgorge and put on the market neces- saries held by them in excess of amounts reasonably needed to supply their legiti- mate individual or business requirements for a reasonable time. The President may regulate exchanges, including their practices, quotations and the like, so as to avoid their employment as instru- mentalities to effect unjust market ma- nipwlations, injurious speculation and undue enhancement of prices. “The President is empowered to fix minimum prices, assuring fair and just relations to producers or owners, when- ever, In an emergency, he finds such action essential in order to encourage greater production. In such case, the Government will guarantee producers of necessaries within the United States, who act in reliance upon the guar- antee, that they will reecive not less than the minimum price prescribed for their products. Anti-Dumping Clause. “The bill also contains an anti-dump- ing clause. This vests power in the President to find what rates of duty on the importation of necessaries, for which minimum prices have been pre- scribed, are required to prevent fiood- ing of the American market with such excessive importations as to defeat the practical operation of the minimum price plan. When he determines these rates, by force of the statute itself they go into tmmediate effect. “Whenever ‘the President shall find that an emergency exists requiring such action, he is also empowered to fix {maximum prices of necessaries, if es- }sential in order to prevent extortion,” | 5 te’ prevent hoarding, to assure fair prices, | establish- GERMAN ARMY ‘5. | Minister Against Whom Petrograd Demonstrations Are Directed OPIOID, LIND IO PI.

MILIUKOFF. -" STRONGER THAN EVER” London. Times Military Writer Puts Present Man Strength at 6,000,000. LONDON, May 4.—Col. Repington, military expert of the London Times, back from the Western front, says: “In order _to understand the nature of the task set out for Field Marsha); Haig this year it is necessary first of all to realize the nature of the oppo- sition’ which confronts us, and our French and Belgian allies. “The Germans still are very strong, in fact stronger than they ever have been before. We must reckon their strength at 4,500,009 men in the field on both fronts, 600,000 on the lines of communication ‘and 1,000,000 in the depots in Germany. They have in- creased the number of divisions on the Western front to 155 and of this num- ber there are 68 between the North Sea and the Oise. The German strengths are fairly well maintained and the companies average 200 rifles. “To still be confronted with 6,000,000 German fighters makes the later stages of the war a serious matter for all of the allies. We have besides tu reckon with 600,000 men of each successive Ger- man class as it is-called up. The 1918 German class is already incorporated into the armies and the 1919 class is in the depots. | “On the other hand it is a fact that the German method of combing out Ger- man, industries for fighting men is prac- tically at an end. The only drafts hence- forth’ available are those from the younger classes and the _ recovered wounded. These will not be enough, if the fighting continues on the old scale, to keep the ranks full.” CHANCELLOR TO SPEAK ON PEACE IN REICHSTAG SOON Insistent Demand by Members for More Information on Foreign Affairs. COPENHAGEN, May 4.—Parliamen- tary correspondence in the Hamburg Fremdenblatt confirms the report that the German Imperial Chancellor, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, is to speak at an early date in the Reichstag on the for- eign situation, with particular reference to the peace question. The Chancellor's renewed appearance in the Reichstag so soon after nis recent speech on foreign affairs is due to the insistent demand of the members of the Reichstag for more information, they not benig satisfied with the communica- tion of Dr. Alfred Zimmermann, the For- eign Secretary, and Vice Admiral Cap- pelle, Minister of the Navy, and other Government representatives. The present session of the Reichstag is likely to be short, and members will discuss the budget me taxes and then adjourn for the su r. The Prussian Diet also probably li adjourn for the summer.on May 15, thus giving the Gov. ernment a free hand, undisturbed by parliamentary, debates, during the time when important developments in the food problem, the conduct of the war and perhaps the peace question are ex- pected. -* INVADE.

Conn., May 4.—‘‘Uniess the United States marshals all her re- sources, both military and industrial, Nand does it immediately, there is a great probability. that we shall see German troops in this country within a year,” said Judge Lucien F. Burpee, chairman of the State Military Emergency Board. on his return with Gov, Holcomb today from the conferences’ of the Nationa! Councii of Defense at Washington. ‘This, Judge Burpee said, was “pretty well demonstrated,”’ at the conferences. “I have never believed this probable or even possible,”” he continued, ‘‘but the facts presented by Government of- ficials were convincing and those from the English and French officials visit- ing this country make it plain that the situation in England and France is desperate both economically and in re- spect to military matters. Germany has a strangle hold on England and if that cannotgbe loosened both countries will be thrgttied.’’ Gof. Holcomb said the situation was Very) serious.

Think They Should Have Been Consulted on Com- munication -—- Induce Troops to Return to Bar- racks. PETROGRAD, May 4.—Demonstrations by soldiers and workmen against For- eign Minister Mitukoff occurred yester- day. Detachments of soldiers and citi- zen paraders gathered in front of the headquarters of the provisional Govern- ment carrying red flags with inscrip- tions demanding the resignation of the Minist'r and the provisional Govern- ment. 3 After extended conferences between the executive committee of the work- men’s and soldiers’ delegates and the council of the provisional Government the executive committee decided that no reason was apparent for demanding the resignation of the Government. . The soldiers engaged in the demonstration were persuaded by the committee to re- turn to their barracks. War Note Cause of Trouble. The new Government's note to the al- lies, in which prosecution of the war was promised; -was the direct cause of | yesterday's outbreak, although discon- tent has been smoldering in some quar- ters for some time, on account of a doubt that the Foreign Minister was in full sympathy with the viewpoint of the soldiers and the workmen. Their dele- gates thought they should have been consulted before the anes to the allies was sent. Milidkoff, who is considered to be one of the strongest men in the new Gov- ernment and a thorough friend of the allied cause as a. whole, addressed the demonstration in front of the Govern- ment palace from a balcony yesterday. When he saw the banners inscribed with the words “down with Miliukeff,”) fe said he was fearful not for himself but for Russia. If the inscription interpret- ed the feelings of a majority of the citt- zens, he asked, what would be the con- dition of Russia? The entente allies would say Russia had betrayed her al- lies and had struck her name from the list of allied Powers. “The provisional Government cannot accept that view of things,’” continued Miliukoff. ‘I declare to you that the provisional Government, and myself, ae Minister of Foreign Affairs, will defend a position in which no one will dare to charge Russia with treason. ‘Never shall Russia consent to a sepa- rate peace. Government a “Sailing Vessel.” ‘The provisional Government is a sail- ing vessel which can only move with the help of the wind. We look, then, for your trust, which is the wind that is to make our ship go forward. I hope you will supply us with that breeze, and that your confidence will aid us in propelling Russia toward liberty. and prosperity, and in upholding the dignity of our great, free country.” The words of the Foreign evoked hearty cheering. Some of the banners carried by the paraders were inscribed “Down with Guchkoff” (The Minister of War), and “Down with the Provisional Gov- ernment.” Gen. Alexieff, Commander in Chiet of the Russian armies, has arrived on the Riga front. An order of the day issued by Gen. Brusalloff warns the soldiers against having relations with the enemy. I¢ says: “The enemy is seeking to establish }guch relations and taking advantage of this to gain information of the Russian defensive organization.” The Executive Committee of the workmen's and soldiers’ delegates dis- cussed Miliukoff's note to the allies all Wednesday night. It adjourned at daybreak yesterday without reaching a decision. Later in the day the com- mittee sat in special session with the Couneil of the Provisional Govern- ment for a discussion of the Govern- ment’'s motives in issuing the note. There also were demonstrations last ovening in favor of the Government. M. Rodsianko, president of the Duma, ex- horted the people to continue the war until the atiainment of victory worthy of the Russian people.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 4, 1917. ‘St LOUIS POST-DISPATCH transmit the following communication: “The provisio.ial Government of Rus- sia published on April 27 a manifesto to L:ussian citizens, wherein it explained the views of the Government of Russia ab regards the objects to be attained in the war. The Minister of Foreign Af- fairs instructs me to communicate to you the contents of the document re- terred to and to add the following con- siderations: “Our enemies have striven lately to show discord among our allies by propa- gating absurd reports regarding the al- - leged intention of Russia to conclude a eeparate peace with the central Powers. The text of the document annexed will form the best refutation of such in- tentions. The general principles there- in enunciated by the provisional Gov- ernment are in entire agreement with the ideas which have been~ expressed repeatedly up tu quite recently by emi- nent statesmen of the allied countries. ‘These principles were expressed lu- eidly alsc in the words of the President of our ally, the great overseas republic. "he Russian Government and ihe old re- gime certainly was not prepared to ap- preciate and snare these ideas as ito the Mberating character of the war, the es- tablishment of a stable basis for pacific co-operation of nations, the freedom of oppressed peoples, etc., but emancipated Russia can now use language which will be understood by modern democracies 2nd hasten to add her voice to that of her allies. “The deciaration of the provisional Government being imbued with the new spirit of free democracy naturally can- not afford the least pretext for as- sumption that the demolition of the oid structure has entailed any slackening on the part of Russia in the common strug- gle of all the allies. On the contrary, the nation’s determination to bring the world war to a decisive victory has been accentuated owing to the sense of responsibility which is shared by all in general and each one of us in partic- ular. “This spirit has become still more active by the fact that it is concentrat- ed on the immediate task, which touches everybody so closely, of driving back the enemy who invaded our territory. It is understood, and the annexed doc- ument so expressly states, that the pro- visional Government, in safeguarding the right acquired for our country, will maintain a strict regard for its en- gagements with the allies of Russia. “Firmly convinced of the victorious is- sue of the present war and in perfect agreement with our allies, the provi- sional Government is likewise confident that the problems which were created by this war will be solved by the crea- tion on a firm basis of a lasting peace and that, inspired by identical senti- ments, the allied democracies will find means of establishing the guarantees and penalties necessary to prevent any recourse to sanguinary war in the fu- fture.”’ Ietrograd Extremist Organs Severely ‘riticise Note to Allies, LONDON, May 4—A Petrograd dis- patch says that the Novaia Zhizn, the organ of the Social Democrats, and other extreme left newspapers severely criticise Foreign Secretary Miliukoff’s note to the allies, asserting Russia's de- termination to vigorously push the war against Germany. The note will be discussed this evening, at an extraordi- nary general meeting of the Council of Workmen’s and Soldiers’ Delegates. Allied Miesions in U. volt ans ssian Pevelopes .

Machine guns were perched in trees at various heights while lines of uncut wire were discovered in gullevys which concealed them from direct observation as well as from the searching effect of the barrage. TERRIFIC FIGHTING GOES ON UNDER A SUMMER HAZE Battlefields Dry and Dusty and Combat Is More Intense Than on the Somme. By Associated Press, BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, via London, May 4, 10:03 .a. m.—The Germans mad« desperate coun- ter attacks througiiout the entire night against tne positions won by the Brit- ish yesterday, but were everywhere re- pulsed. All tnrough the brilliant moorlit night and again tvday Brit'sh soldiers were fighting on a wide front, tenaciously nolding the positions won yesterday jn the face of the headlong counter attack; of their foe. In some places the fight- ing ebbed and flowed as in the old days in the Somme campaign, when the casualties inflicted ‘on the enemy were regarded as more important than spe- cific gains of ground. The present fight- ing, however, is more intense. The latest reports from the hattle front show that the Hindenburg line was pierced both northwest anc south- east of Bullecourt for long distances. Th: Germans bitterly defended these strong points and attempted several times to retake them, but once the Brit- ish were in the deep trenches they held 1 on. The men fought so -teadily that :here wat neither time for nor thougit of food. The battlefields were very dry and dusty, however, and water bottles had to be replenished time and again, whenever it vas p: ssible to do sc.

WASHINGTON, May 4.—On instruc- tions from his Government, Ambassador Aldunate of Chile submitted to the State Department yvesterday an emphatic de- nial of a report from Buenos Aires that a secret alliance exists between Chile and Germany, accompanying the state- ment witha copy of Foreign Minister Huidobro’% pote warning Germany that Chile could not submit to the submarine campaign restrictions. Foreign Minister Huidobro’s note to the German Government said: “Such measures in the opinion of the Chilean Government mean a restriction of the right of neutrals which the coun- try cannot submit to because it would be contrary to ancient prniciples conse- crated to the welfare of countries for- eign to the armed conflict. The accept- ance on the part of Chile of the meas- ures taken by Germany would separate her also from that line of strict neutral- ity which she has followed during. the present conflict. “Chile in consequence reserved to her- self the liberty of action .o claim re- spect of all her rights in the moment in which may be committed any act of hostility against her ships.”’ LONDON, May 4—A Berlin dispatch by way of Amsterdam denies the unoffi- cial report in the Dutch papers that the Chilean Minister at Berlin has asked for his passoprts.

WASHINGTON, May 4.—The British mission today began wider and more public conferences with American offi- cials. Rear Admiral Sir Dudley R. S. e Chair conferred with the House Naval Committee and Foreign Secretary Bal- four conferred with the Council of Na- tional Defense. The conferences were to afford opportunity for questions by the American officials. Mr. Balfour after a visit to Secretary Lansing went to a joint meeting of Brit- ish embassy and mission members which took up shipping, food and munitions. Now that the extent and means of American co-operation has been outlined it is necessary for the various interests within the British mission to agree among themselves as to the propor- tional share each shall receive, Invitations from all parts of the coun- try are pouring in upon the mission but as yet no final plans have been made. BRITISH LABOR LEADERS ARRIVE AT AMERICAN PORT Will Proceed to Washington and Advise American Federation on Course Daring the War. NEW YORK, May 4.—British labor leaders, appointed by their Government as official advisers to American labor in the conduct of the war. arrived in the United States today and will pro- ceed at once to Washington. The delegation includes the Rt. Hon. Charles W. Bowerman and J. H. Thomas, members of the British Par- liament, and H. W. Garrod, who repre- sents the Labor party in the Bureau of Munitions. They have come at the invitation of the American Federation of Labor. The labor representatives said em- phasis would be placed in their confer- ences with Americans on the necessity of avoiding blunders made by British labor bodies, so that the United States might profit by the mistakes and that it would be pointed out that the questions of hours and wages should be subord!- | pated during the war, \Gees to New York hanes of eeeernnstthe Line BT SAILS, Is ont caw AN TELLS COUNTRYMEN 10 OBEY U. 5.

I take with me the firm conviction that my countrymen will also hereafter honor the land whose hospital- ity they enjoy and in which they earn their livelihood, and they will readily obey its laws to the full extent.” Speaking to newspaper men, Count Tarnowski said thatehe could not “but express my sincere regret at leaving your nice country.’’ “I suppose,’”’ he continued, “I am a unique figure in the history of diplo- matic relations between countries in that I arrived at such an inopportune moment, Dut while never having the op- portunity to present my credentials, I still conducted the official business of the Austrian embassy. “When will the war end?

By a Staff Co mdent of the Associat BRITISH “HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, May 3, via London.—After four days of calm, fighting on a large scale was resumed along a wide front today and more fmportant stategic points fell into British hands, including the village of Fresnoy, several miles north of the Scarpe River, and the ground about Cheritsy. Between Fontaine-les-Croisilies and Bullecourt about 600 yards more of the original Hindenburg line, which ran from Queant in a northwesterly direc- tion toward Arras, was penetrated and rolled up. This fighting was close to the Queant-Hindenburg line new emer- gency trench system, extending -north from there to Drocourt. Work on this new system is proceeding with feverish haste, according to prisoners, and the stubborn resistance the Germans now are offering is to prevent the necessity of their occupying the new line before it is ready for prolonged defensive ac- tion. Fighting on 18-Mile Front. Today’s range of operations "covered virtually 18 miles, although the pressure was not exerted over this entire front. There .was artillery activity at, all points, however, and the stronger Ger- man “positions were fairly deluged with shells. i The fighting be@&an before dawn and continued throughout’a day of sunshine. The troops moving to the firing line passed along roads whose overhanging trees were tipped with the first green leaves of spring. The fields back of the battle front were yellow with cowslips and dandelions; birds were singing joy- ous melodies. A warm east wind stirred up great clouds of dust, and the men were white with fine chalk powder. As the marching columns reached ths battle. zone, however, all was changed. The trees became black skeletons; the fair fields had been pitted and scarred under the shell fire. The only melodies were deep-throated roars of cannon, the whine of shells and the whistle of bul- lets. y Begins at Dawn. Under hs ight of a May moon the British guns roared the artillery prep- aration at intervals during the night, but it was not until the lunar rays hed disappeared that tne real bombardment began. In ite intensified form it was of short duration. Then the guns set- tled into barrage work as the troops stole out froin their forward aires or shallow shelters. It was still. half an hour before dawn. and the morning mists gave a deeper density to the darkness. There was stiff fighting from the very first, and everywhere along the line th¢e Germans offered desperate resistance. Since the battle of Arras began on Evs- ter Monday the Germans have concen trated great numbers of guns opposite the British and lately they have been firing with almost reckless extrava- gance. Much of the shooting has been absolutely blind since the British took all the high ridges, the Germans being unable to get more than momentary 9b- servation with airplanes and ballvons, Canadians Take Fresnmoy. . This morning the British creeping barrage fire, which swept like a great trellis work of exploding shells in fror.t of the attacking troops, was met by a furious defensive curtain of fire, and for half an: hour or more the artillery display was one of the most wonderful seen during the war. At the north of the line the Canadian troops who occu- pied Arleux several days ago pushed forward and took Fresnoy. Arleux and Fresnoy had been swathed COLLEGE HONOR FOR JOFFRE The Lafayette, in Pennsylvania, to Confer Degree Upen Him. EASTON, Pa., May 4.—Lafayette Col- lege, one of the greatest memorials to the Marquis de Lafayette in America, will confer on Field Marshal Joffre and the siarquis de Chambrun, a_ great- grandson of Lafayette, the honorary de- gree of doctor of laws. This action was taken by the board of trustees yester- day.

The Fresnoy garrison fought with great bitterness, and it was rot until the Canadians had virtually surrounded the village that the survivors, cut off within, surrendered. The number of prisoners taken was 2) men and seven officers. Germaas in Better Spirtts. One of the officers spoke excellent En- glish, and as a Canadian officers was conducting him to the rear, he asked to see the positions from which the Ger- mans were driven during the storming of .Vimy Ridge, April 9. He marveled at the situation and asked what Canadian division took the particular position he saw. When told it was the same division wh.ch captured him at Fresnoy today, » he laughed and said he could not believe it. He could not believe that any divi- sions in the Vimy fight would be able to go on now, and shook his head in- credulously when told that all the divi- sion were still at their battle stren This. same officer asserted that the morale of the troops opposite the British front were better than during the battle of the Somme. He said that the German soldiers now see their airplanes avout. They also seem to be getting sorely needed artillery support during the last three weeks. There had been much com- plaint about lack of this support, and the infantrymen had begun to regard themselves merely as targets for the British artillery. The officer declared that the feeling was all changed now and that the Germans believe their ar- tillery equal to any. Counter Attack Pian Upset. Oddly enough, German shells begun to pitch about the prisoners’ collecting sta- tion with deafening reports, so charac- teristic of the German high explosives, and the Germans had to be moved. The prisoners taken at Fresnoy were ail Prussians. Two fresh regiments had come into Fresnoy trenches last night for a great German counter attack on Arleux this morning. - Needless to say, their plans were upset by,the British attack. Good progress was Guemappe along the Arras-Cambrai row@, ani British troops, pushing through Cherisy, south of that road, swept several hundred yards beyond their first objectives. There was heavy fighting about Fontaine-Lez-Croisilles and Bulleccurt, in which the Australians took part. There also was more fighting about Oppy, to which the Germans are still clinging. . The wood west of this village is very dense and is bristling with machine guns, some of which have been mount- ed in the trees. This wood also is one continuous tangle of barbed wire. The Germans are holding desperately to two woods east of Monchy Le Preux, known as the Bois Du Sart and Bois Du Vert, and have connected the two with elab- orate trenches. Heavy counter attacks were attempted time and time again during the day, and from every section of the battle front came echoes of the never-ceasing artil- lery duel, made east of Missing Boat From Torpedoed American Steamer . With .. Fourteen Men, Found. s: LONDON, May 4--——-The admiralty reports that the missing: boat. from the American steamer Rockingham, with all 14 men. has been picked up by a British steamer. This Hfe dDoat contained Third Ofifcer McKenny and 13 American gunners. Capt. Charles Edwards of the Rock- ingham said in an interview at Liver- pool that the submarines in the attack on his ship dived almost as soon as they were observed and that the ship was torpedoed a few minutes later while the guns were trained on the spot where the periscopes were expected to reappear. Captain Comes in Barefoot. Capt. Edwards was barefoot when re arrived at Londonderry, Ireland, late. Wednesday night, and 22 members of his crew who were with him were scan. tily clad. They were cared for by the. American Consul. Capt. Edwards said that he sighted two submarines on Tuesday afternoon at a distance of five miles and attempt- ed to escape by steering a zigzag course, A. torpedo struck the ship near the en- gine room on the starboard side and killed two men. One of the vessel's four lifeboats was smashed, but the others got clear just before the steamer sank, Refused to Tow Boats. One of the submarines came close to a lifeboat and asked the destination. and tonnage of the Rockingham. Edwards asked the questioner to tow the lifeboats toward ignd, but the man pretended not to understand although he spoke. good English. He finally refused to give any help, told the refugees they could get ashore as best they could and the U- boat submerged. “We were hit at 2 p. m., Tuesday, 10 miles from land,” continued Capt. Bdé- wards. ‘I was on the bridge at the time. ‘Five minutes before the torpedo- ing I noticed through the haze two specks en the horizon, one on the port bow and the other on the starboard bow. I immediately called them to the attention of the gunners, who were at their posts both fore and aft, and they immediately trained their guns in the direction indicated. The visibility was so bad it was impossible for any of us to say whether they were submarines or patrol boats. ‘While all eyes were straining through their glasses to penetrate the haze, both the specks disappeared. Then we knew they were submarines. We were already steering a zig-zag course and the gun- ners were ready at the sight of any tar- get to fire on the enemy. Suddenly there came a terrific explosion, the Fre- sults of which made it impossible to handle the guns. Our ship sank In less than 2) minutes. The gun crew on the Rockingharn@ was in charge of Chief Petty Officer Arthur Wood.” The three lifeboats kept together until nightfall when one got separated. A patrol rescued the men in the two boats which had remained in company, but could not find the third.

Postmaster-General Burleson made futile attempt to get enough votes fo the censorship section. At the same time the Senate was der bating the espionage bill and President Wilson's approval of the export embargo section was read there. | Representative Graham of Pennsyl- vania, author of the House motion té strike out the censorship section, dur- ing the debate today said: “Let us take the people into our’ confidence. They are the sovereigns. This is their war and they have to make the sacri- fices.’’ Representative Kahn today offered his amendment to create a Board of Cen- sors to be composed of trained news- paper men and representatives of th? State, War and Navy departments. In closing argument for the censor- ship section, Chairman Webb of the Judiciary Committee declared he had just received word from President Wl- con that the section would’ be necessary to the defense and success of the coun- try. “Was that message brought down by Postmaster-General Burleson, who is al- }ways snooping around here?” demand- ed Representative Norton of North Da- kota. Webb taunched into an attack on newspapers, who, he said, were not standing by the President. Power would have been given the President under the section to suppress b ‘oclarnation any news relating to matiobal defense. In a futile effort to save the section, Webb amended it to only prohibit ‘‘pub- lication’’ and not ‘‘communication” of news suppressed by presidential order. Speaker Clark, Republican Leader Mann and Representative Jeanette Ran- kin voted to strike out the section. Dem- ocratic Leader Kitchin was a promi- nent advocate of the section. Amend- ments by Representative Kahn of Cali- fornia to provide for a board of cen- sors and one by Representative McCor- mick of Illinois-to limit suppression of news to movements of troops and ships end similar information were defeated. Speaker Clark, Republican Leader Mann, Representative Kahn of Califor- nia, Representative McCormick of Illi- nois and a dozen other Representatives attacked the censorship section yester- day. They declared unequivocally that they were opposed to any proposal to muzzle the press. Other than Chairman Webb, Repre- sentative Dyer of St. Louis was the only member who defended the section, “We are at war,"' said Dyer, “and we do not know what may be necessary to keep information from getting to the enemy. The newspapers of the country in the main are honorable, but their writers are human and they are as prone to err as others."’ Bevo With Club Sandwiches. > ; .

Scotland, May 4.—S. 5S. Harris of the American tank steamer Vacuum, which was sunk by a German submarine Saturday, and four survivors from that steamer who landed with him on the Scottish coast, suffered terribie hardships after ieaving their vessel and are now in a hospital for treatment. Only three out of 18 men in the Cap- tain’s boat survived their experiences. while in another boat in which there were nine men two died of exposure Capt. Harris, in talking with an Asso- ciated Press representative today, said that in less than three minutes after the torpedoing the entire complement of the ship, with the exception of the four of the enginee room staff, who prob- ably were killed by the éxplosion, were off the ship. During the afternoon the captain’s boat capsized. Fortunately the men were able to right her, but about an hour later she again turned over, and this time four men perished. It was intensely cold when night fell and 10 of the 14 men remaining in the boat died from exposure. The boat was Overturned twice in the darkness and it was only by superhuman exer- tions that the sailors were able to right her each time and get aboard again. The second mate died soon after the last of these experiences. About noon the next day, Capt. Harris came across the No. 3 boat. The cap- tain and his comrades were transferred to the No. 2 boat, making up her crew to 10. They landed the next morning, ; but one of them died soon afterward.

TLOUIS POST-DISPATCH a ~IMATURE MEN IN ESPECIAL DEMAND BE OFFICERS ‘They Will Have Preference in Selection of 10,000 to Drill First Army Draft. CAMP PLANS OUTLINED Work Which 40,000 Applicants in Attendance at Sixteen Places Will Undergo. WASHINGTON, May 4.—An outline of plans for training and selecting th: 10,- 000 officers for the first 500,000 troops raised by selective conscription was made pubiic today by the War Depart- ment. After three months’ instruction at the training camps, the 10,000 officers for 16 infantry and two cavalry divisions will be selected on merit from the to- tal of 40,000 to be trained and assigned to reriments which will be called to the colors a month or two later. The other 30.000 men who are found to be ‘qualified will be commissioned in the Officers’ Reserve Corps and Called out for duty as needed. For the first of their training the of- i ficer candidates will be organized into 14 infantry companies and drilled as such by regular and national guard of- ficers, and such of their own number as may be qualified for command. Then they will be organized by individual fit- ness into nine infantry companies, three batteries of artillery and two troops of cavalry. The department’s statement lays great stress on the fact that mature men, schooled for responsible positions, will be sought, particularly in selecting the first 10,000. In later training camps younger men are expected to predomi- nate. While reports from all sections of the country indicate generous response to the call for candidates, and there is a probability that each’ of the 16 camps will have its full quota of 2500 men, it is pointed out that many @f the candi- dates do not come up to the desired Standard. Realizing that many desi'- able men may have been kept away be- cause they could not af‘ord to attend the camps, the War Department also announced that all who go into train- ing will be paid $100 a month in addition to subsistence. “The difficulties of administration in the selection of candidates are bein: adjusted,”” says the statement. ‘‘The question of pay for the men in training is expected to be settled shortly bv Congress, with provisions for regular pay for reserve officers, and $100 a month fcr candidates. All men found fit for commissions at the end of the three-month course will be commis- sioned in the Officers’ Reserve Corns. even if not immediately needed for the first increinent of troops. ‘There room for iniprovement in the quality of the applicants. Men of proved capacity in civiljan life are need- ed. Mature men of this kind, from £5, to 44, especially if unmarried, are urged to consider the matter at once and 2n- roll for the first series of camps. Theve is plenty of room for men of the right qualities.’’ In 2 supplementary statement it wa¢ is portunity for men under 27 years of age to obtain commissions in the regular army. At the close of the camovs exam-' inations will be -held for appointments as Second Idjeutenants in the regular army. The War Department warts 400° of these officers for the expanded regular army, in addition to the 10,000 officers whose special task will be the traizi- ing of the new army of conscripted men, This means that the younger men, who are not likely to be commissioned to train the neW army, will receive corr- missions and be called on later to serve in the expanded regular army. Thos: who nave taken the course at. the camps will be exempted from examina- tion, if approved by the camp. com- mander, in everything except adapt- ability and physical condition. a —— 466 Here Pass Examinations for Offi- cers’ Reserve Training. In St. Louis 466 men have passed the examinations as candidates for the of- ficers’ training camp at Fort Riley, Kan. Up to today Maj. Goode has accepted 307 applicants, and Capt. Caffey at the First Regiment armory has passed 159. None ot ‘these will be finally admitted to the camp except upon notification from the Cominandant at Fort Riley. Maj. Goode passed 42 candidates yesterday. Abvuut 200 applications were received yesterday at the old Custom House, Third and Olive streets, making the to- tal number thus far nearly 600. The ex- amining officers will continue to test all comers until orders to stop are re- ceived from the War Department. Fort Riley can accommodate 2600 men, to be chosen from Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming. 15,000 Shi Builders F Regi ingen tee WASHINGTON, May announc- ing that Department of inal employ- ment agencies throughout the country had registered 15,000 skilled shipbuilders for work on the great wooden merchant fleet, Secretary Wilson said this achieve- ment was ‘“‘only a minor step in the nation-wide mobilization of labor.’’ With the Trees Trimmed the Lawn Sodded and Flower Beds Full of Color the old home takes on a new aspect. “Now for the interior renewal.

Rg a et a il A public meeting designed to give im- petus to naval recruiting in St. Louis will be held at the Wednesday Club, 4506 Westminster place, at 8:30 o'clock this evening under the auspices of the local branch of the Navy League. Among the speakers will be Lieutenant- Commander E. 8S. Root, inspector of naval recruiting in the Central District; J. W. Stayton of Washington, repre- senting the Navy League, and L. J. Smyth, who conducted a successful re- cruijiting campaign in Kansas City for the Navy League. One of the features of the gathering will be motion pictures on the develop- ment of the submarine which will be ex- plained by Commander Hoot. A general] call for the public to attend the meeting has been issued by Albert Bond Lam- bert, vice president of the local branch of the Navy League, Joseph O'Neill, chairman of the St. Louis organization, and Mrs. Virginia Chase Stedman, chair- man of the Women’s Division. Those at Meeting. Commander Root was the guest at honor yesterday at a luncheon at the Missouri Athletic Association given by Lieut. E. D. Langworthy, in charge of the naval recruiting office here. The other guests were; J. W. Stayton, S. W. McEwan, assistant surgeon in the navy; Commander E. L. Bissett, Joseph Pulit- zer Jr., Lieut. Nelson Thomas, Fred G. Condict, John E. Tiedeman, James E. Smith, Joseph O'Neill, Paul Bakewell Charles E. Bascom, Charles H. McKee, H. H. Wallace, J. J. Broderick, Albert von Hoffmann J. D. Perry Francis, Albert Bond Lambert, Elmer Donnell, and L. J. Smyth. Commander Root spoke at the lunch- eon. He declared that the charge that St. Louis was a ‘‘slacker’ city was not true. He said the average German- -ame¢crican was more American than some Americans and that the slowness in re- cruiting was not due to the jJarge popu- lation in St. Louis-of citizens of German stock. Prediets Long War. “St. Louisans,”’ he declared, “‘are so far removed from the scene of the con- flict they do not seem to realize we are at war. There is a belief among the average citizen the war will soon end. It won't. The best-informed military and navy officials have eX®ressed their be- lief that the war will last three years longer, and that the services of the army and navy will be required for one year of reconstruction at the close of the conflict.’ The speaker said the recruiting re- sults in Kansas City were due to the liberality of the business men, who gave tens and hundreds of dollars. This money was not handled by the navy, but was spent by the various organiza- tions aiding recruiting. “Chain System” in Recruiting. The “chain system” of recruiting is to be adopted by the United States Navy. Orders were received at the navy recruitiny office, Seventh and Chestnut streets, this morning by Lieut. Lang. worthy, providing that each recruit, as soon as ne is enlisted and given con- densed trnrining, sheil be seturned to his home town, at the Government's ex- pense, for the purpose of obtaining re- cruits. Statistics show that the passage of the conscription bill has more than doubled applications and enlistments in the navy. During the week 825 men have applied and 142 have been enlisted. In addition, 259 men were told to return for further cxamination. Yesterday 170 men applied and 86 were accepted. An innovation in recruiting will be an automobile truck with screen for mov- ing pictures. The machine wil! be car- SE LE TO ce o DANDRUFF SURELY DESTROYS THE HAIR Girls—if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by al! means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don ’t. It doesn’t do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dis- solve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gen- 3 gp the finger tips. 7 most if not all, of rhs dandruff will be gone, and three or four more snuileatlens will com- pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better.- You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have.

She had had three opérations without gaining permanent relief. Her con- dition grew worse and worse. She had fierce pains that at times caused her to scream. Her bowels were in . bad condition.

VOICE IN BRITAIN'S FOREIGN RELATIONS War Conference Also Declares for Imperial Preference in Frade. RECOGNITION FOR INDIA Readjustment of Relations on Full Recognition as Autono- mous Nations. LONDON, May 4.—The Imperial War Conference, which has been in session for several weeks and has been attend- ed by eminent representatives from all parts of the empire except Australia, is nearing the end of its labors after considering questions covering a wide field and adopting resolutions on mat- tera of far-reaching importance. Secretary of State for Colonies Walter Hume Long says that some matters dealt with are of a very confidential character at present and it probably will not be possible to publish resolu- tions or debates on these subjects until the end of the war. However, he quotes a number of important resolutions, among which is one approving imperial preference in the matter of trade. Another resolution expresses the opin- ion that readjustment of the constitu- tional relations of the component parts of the empire is too important a sub- ject to be dealt with during the war and should be taken up in an imperial conference as soon as possible after the cessation of hostilities. Autonomous Nations. The conference places itself on rec- ord as holding that any readjustment should be based on full recognition of the dominions as autonomous nations of an imperial commonwealth and of India as an important part of the same, and that the right of the dominions and of India to an adequate voice in Great Britain’s foreign policy and foreign re- lations. should be recognized. It is worthy of note, says the Secre- tary, that in every case the decision of the conference was unanimous, and on no occasion was it found necessary to take a division or withdraw a motion because an agreement could not be reached. Resolutions Adopted. Among the resolutions adopted are the following: First. That the Admiralty be request- ed to work out immediately after the conclusion of the war what it considers the most effective scheme of naval de- fense for the empire for the considera- tion of the several Governments sum- moned to this conference with such recommendations as the Admiralty con- siders necessary in that respect for the empire’s future security. Second. That the imperial War Con- ference desires to’ place on record its view that the resolution of the imperia: conference of April 2, 1917, should be modified to permit India to be fully represented in all future imperial con- ferences. z Third. The Imperial Conference is of the opinion that a readjustment of the constitutional relations of the component parts of the empire is too important and intricate a subject to be dealt with during the war and that It should form the subject of a special imperial con- ference after the cessation of hostili- ties. The conference deems it its duty, however, to place on record its views that any such readjustment, while thor- oughly preserving the existing powers of self-government and complete contro: of domestic affairs, should be. based upon full recognition of the dominions as autonomous nations of-an imperia) commonwealth, and of India as an im- portant part thereof; should recognizo the right of the dominions and India to voice in the foreign policy and for- eign relations and should provide effect. ive arrangements for continuous consul- tation on all in.porcant matters of com. mon imperial interest and for such con- certed action fuunded on that consulta- tion as the several Governments shall determine. Mineral Resource Buregu. _ Fourth. That it is desirable to astab- lish in London an imperial mineral re- sources bureau, upon which should he representatives of Great Britain, the don-inions, Indic. avd other parts of the empire, the bureau to be charged with the duties of the collection of informa- tion regarding the mineraj resources and metal requirements of the empire ani of advising what action, if any, may appear desirable to enable such re- sources to be developed and made uvail able to meet the metal requirements of the enipire. Fifth. That the conference, in view of the experience of the present war, calls attention to the imuortance of de- velopirg in adequate capacity the pro- duction of naval and military material, munitions and supplies in all important parts of the empire, including the coun- tries bordering on the Pacific and In- dian Oceans, where no such facilities at present exist. and affirms the im- portance of. clore co-cneration between India, the dominions and the United Kingdom with this object in view. Food and Natural Resources. ence obtained in the present war, the conference records its opinion that the safety of the empire and the necessary development of its component parts re. quire prompt and attentive ccnsidera. tion, as well as concerted action, with regard to the following matters: The Production of an adequate food supply and arrangements “or its transportation: control of natural resources ®.vailable within the empire, especially those es sential for necessary national Purposes. whether in peace or war: the economical! utilization, of such ratural resources through precesses of manufacture car- ried on within the empire.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 4.—Dan Shay of Kansas City, manager of the Milwaukee (American Association) base- ball team, shot and fatally wounded Clarence Buell, a negro waiter, in the Hotel English here last night, in an | argument over a sugar bowl. The wait- rested and the police are hunting for a woman who is said to have been with Shay at the time of the shooting and the only witness. A charge of murder was placed against Shay. The trouble, it was said, started when Shay complained of the amount-of sugar served and the waiter’s manner in tak- ing more to the table angered the base- ball man. Shay has had a long career in baseball both as a player and manager. He is 40 years old. He was shortstop for the St. Louis National League team in 1904 and two years ago became manager of| the Kansas City team. NINE KIRKWOOD BOYS TRAVEL AS HOBOES TO ATHLETIC MEET JEFFERSON CITY, May 4—Nine ath- letes from Kirkwood High School, trav- eling as hoboes, arrived in McBain about 1:30 this morning on their way to the high school athletic carnival at Columbia tomorrow. They came on different railroads. Some had “blind baggage” berths, some “rode the rods,”’ and part lay face downward on top of coaches of the “Katy Fiyer” all the way from St. Louis. At McBain the boys bought tickets to Columbia: One of them who attempted to leave the flyer before it stopped rolled — 40 feet through the mud. His hair and clothes were plastered with Boone County real estate. All were drenched from the rain and blackened by smoke and flying cinders. BELL-ANS Absolutely Removes Indigestion.

POLITICIANS AROUSED TP BOVERNOR FINDS EFFICIENCY PLEDGE TS HARD 10 KEEP Putting Both Oppo- | has not hesitated to express MMs dissatis- faction. One of the surprises to politicians !s the failure of William E. Leach of 8t. Louis to get. an appointment worth -while, Leach is a traveling salesman and succeeded in lining up many travel- ing salesmen for Gardner. They asked that he be given a good appointment. Leach wanted to be warden of the pen- itentiary, but told his friends that he cared less for a place with a large sal- ary than he did to be recognized by the Governor with a position of honor. The Governor offered him a place as deputy hotel inspector ata salary of $100 per month. Leach refused it and the Governor then offered it to his son. The son also refused the offer, and Leach is now among those who have no good words for the Governor. Another surprise has been the failure of the Governor to offer Omar D. Gray ot Sturgeon a position of importance. Gray was the Gardner campaign man- ager and it generally was predicted that he could have any position he desired. He wanted to be a member of thé Pub- lic Service Commission, but failed to get it. He then wanted to be a member of the State Prison Board, but instead the Governor named Kelly Pool, who resides in the same county as Gray. He would have been satisfied with a place on the State Tax Commission, but the Governor has said that he intended to give the two Democratic places on the commission to Cernelius Roach and James Y. Player. ‘All that Gray has receivéd so far is an appointment as a, member of the Board of Managers of the Lincoln In- stitute at Jefferson City, a State school for negroes. There have been many applicants for minor jobs in State institutions and de- partments, and many of them have left Jefferson City dissatisfied. They have said at hotels that they came with the indorsement of their Senators and that the Governor has sent them to: Stats departments with notes instructing the head of the department to put them to work. This was impossible in many cases because there were no jobs va- cant. These job hunters have expressad some wonder as to whether the Gover- nor knew there were no vacancies when he sent them to the departments. The «Governor's action in providing good jobs for his opponents for the Democratic nomination for Governor has caused much comment. William R. Painter, who probably was the most bitter in his denunciation of Gardner during the campaign, was appointed chairman of the Prison Board.

Civil- tan telegraphers have been sent to half @ dozen points along the border to cen- sor all messages and news reports cross- ing the internationa! line. Open Saturday night until | 10 o’clock NEW YORK, May 4.—A cabie to the Times from Amsterdam gives additional quotations from an article by Maximilian Harden, the noted German editor, in de- fense of the course of the United States. Harden begins a long article with praise of England. He sets forth the “inestimable worth of freedom of speech in press and Parliament” in England, and even has a good word to say for the publication of the Dardanelles re- port; “for only by such light can a na- tion which governs itself live,” He proceeds to show haw a little while ago the United States stood ror peace and was a peace’ oasis in a world stiff with ermor. A professor, a Democrat and a pacifist was President. His first Secretary of State—Bryan—and his clos- } est friend, were pillars of peace. Nine- tenths of the United States were against war. A long list of democratic associa- tions of all sorts and prominent men of all parties were for peace. When Roose- velt came forward as a war champion he suffered a severe defeat, rent his party and involved Hughes in the same fate. Yet, despite all that, on the first day of the life of the new Congress, Mr. Wilson announced his decision to throw the military and economic strength of the United States into the war against /the German Empire. Quotes Wilson’s Speech. How was such a change possible?” Harden asks, and he supplies the an- swer by quoting in full Wilson's his- toric speech to emphasize the reply. He quotes from the declaration by the great entente statesmen in Europe-- Poincare, Ribot, Deschanel and Lioyd George, referring to the latter as “a genial, ultra-strenuous man of action.” “‘Perhaps,’’ says Harden, ‘“‘Wilson can- || rot reach the heights of those four ora- tors ofthe first rank, but nevertheless his speech will soon stand in the school tooks with those of Demosthenes, Cicero, Pitt, Mirabeau, Robespierre, Bis- marck and Gambetta, and will outshine all previous and contemporary declara- tions, because it came from the lips of the head of a state who spoke as none had spoken before in the world’s his- | tory; who was made bold by a creed of idealism, which had not become flaccid and who found courage for new things. Peace and Then War. “On Jan. 23 the world heard Mr. Wil son’s peace offer and in it the first voice which indicated in clear, pro. found, and considered words, not veiled with halting wishes, the way to lasting peace. On April 3 we heard from the Same mouth a declaration of war like none since the Crusades.”’ | Harden proceeds to pour scorn on those of his countrymen who now have noth- ing but scorn for America, bitterly at- tacks the German policy and argues at length that it was really her ideal of peace which drove America to act. He then goes on to refer to the entente reply to the January peace offer, say- ing: “In this shrill and defiant answer I do not find a single trace of that de- rision and scorn so often attributed to ge : Then heavy blows are directed against Zimmermann and the offer to Mexico and Harden g0es on to say: “Bismarck used to declare that the ° worst diplomatic error of Mis experi- ence was that committed by the Duke of Frammont when he did not regard Leopold's renunciation of the Spanish throne as a French triumph and so avoid war and the downfall of the em- pire. This error of July, 1860, was ex- ceeded by that of East Prussia in July, 1914, by the whole extent of the differ- ence between that war, which at the ° end of eight weeks practically ended in ; SW KIESELHORST MUSIC ROLLS Patriotic Selections EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY AND SING Call—Phone— Write— Get Them TODAY BAmerica (with the words) Hail Columbia (with the words)..

Government Food Control. 3 the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. k ’ There is a tremor of uneasiness among food gpeculators in consequence of the proposed Gov- i rnment regulation of foodstuffs and necessities uring the war. This is doubtlessly the begin- ihg of the end of a practice that has been termed “good business;” consisting chiefly in forcing up prices. Some men scoff at the idea of real control of prices of commodities. It is more difficult to ulate the prices of foodstuffe than to control ‘cost of transporting them. Railroad officials legislators scoffed at the latter idea, at the ime freight charges were not based on cost of transportation, but on how much the traffic would ear—all that could be squeezed out of it. To- ay gees Lut the beginning of the regulation of freight rates. - The business man says today of coal: ‘Cars are scarce and the demand is heavy, we cannot et enough coal to fill the orders, therefore the rice of coal must increase.” Let us see how his flimsy argument or pretense would apply “unregulated freight rates. The railroads are ort of coal cars, and cannot furnisk what the ines ask, therefore, it will cost more to hau! coal. ‘The price of transportation would advance, due to the increased demand for cars. The Government ys, however, no matter if you have orders for a @usand cars and have only ten cars to furnish hé freight rates is so much per 100 pounds ween this and that district; not one cent more less. here is only one class of speculators whom we w to speculate—and we speculate along with m. They are the farmers. We must pay them cost of production plus a reasonable profit their investment and labor. They speculate h the elements over which no human has con- J and if they are short we must pay for the reased cost, well and good, on account of h a shortage in production. To none outside of ge speculators dO we owe more than a reason- @ profit over cost and cost of handling com- ities. The prospect of a future crop has no ing on the adisn of a erop harvested and in _f Recruit Willing Convicts. the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. y wouldn't the convict who is willing to en- st in the army or navy make a good soldier? He mere fact that he has served time ought not y him the privilege to live and come back,’ ther in the army or the navy. I say give the ‘Sohvict a chance to make good. M. J. Te Would Eliminate Band Concerts. a the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. at would suggest that a little economy be prace eed by our city fathers and the Park Depart- ¢nt. We are offering everything such as golf nks, tennis courts, baseball grounds, swimming Is, ete., which are all for the good of the pub- ean there is no objection to this. But since 4 taxpayer carries all the load he should have something to say in the matter. I believe we uld let it go at that.; The band concerts, I , could Le dispensed with, which would mean baving from $15,000 to $20,000, which could be on the drives in our parks, which everybody ws are in the worst condition they ever were, no one seems to consider the man sho pays @ hcense to have his vehicle shaken to pieces, not @ ices anything about himself being tossed about until worn out and a fit subject for the hos- tal. TAXPAYER. s : ' ‘Die Amerika Blustering. Bo tne Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The organ of the pro-German element in St. uis is trying to intimidate loyal Americans by tening what the 25,000,000" Germans in this untry will do if they are “persecuted.” Die Amerika has a peculiar notion as to what perse- Mition is. That paper attacks the Government of th United States and any Amertean official who * or does ‘anything against the German Gov- ri ment, and then when loyal Americans resent Die -Amerika’s utterances it talks about being puted. It is an arrogant blusterer. In truth p are not 25,000,000 Germans in this country, ors the percentage of disibyalists among the mbes that are here is not as high as Die Amerika | It is a case of the wish being father to wught with the local organ of Kultur.

Two unusually good addresses were made at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon to the offi- cers and directors of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. President Rhett and Director Filene stated with singular clarity and force the high purpose in defense of democragy.and humanity and in pro- motion of enduring peace which brought our country into the war, and the great part the United States will play in our splendid adventure. Unselfishness of aim and efficiency of action were the central thoughts both speakers devel- oped. Mr. Rhett outlined the organization and ob- jects of the National Chamber of Commerce. He described it as the creation of the new spirit actuating the business men of America-—-the spirit }of co-operation for the general welfare, for the | public as well as for the business man, which has superseded the old narrow spirit of combination for individual profit. Mr. Filene pointed out the essential things necessary to utilize our great strength for the war and to assure success. They are: “ Unity, solidarity of thought and effort under wise leadership. o-operative efficiency, the co-ordinating of forces to accomplish common ends, swiftly and thoroughly. Every American should realize that he is a part in the great American war organization and do the work. that comes to his hand; he must work with every other American to accomplish the essential tasks of the nation. Designating himself as a shopkeeper—he is head of a Boston department store—Mr. Filene sen- sibly advised the people to put judicious re- straints upon their own wants while so many necessaries are required by the Government for war purposes. He advised individuals to sub- ordinate their wants to public needs and thus free railroads and factories for Government serv- ice. Unity, co-operation, unselfishness, three essential things. THE PRINCIPLE OF CENSORSHIP. The principle which should govern in the fram- ing of press censorship lawe for the war is ab- solute freedom for the publication of legitimate ‘opinion and criticism; suppression only of facts the publication of which might defeat or inter- fere with military plans or give aid to the enemy. Deviation from this principle in laws govern- ing the press will be harmful, not helpful. Facts cannot be suppressed and freedom of speech re- stricted without danger to public interests. Publicity is as necessary to public safety in war as in peace. these are = = = — a U-BOAT PROBLEM’S BASIC TERMS. After being officially and at times almost con-! temptuously minimized by London for many weeks, Berlin claims as to the U-boat campaign are at length conceded. Indeed, reports much more alarming than any that have come from Berlin are given publicity from allied sources. If, as Secretary Lane says, information indicates that 400,000 tons of ship- ping were sunk last week alone, or if half that amount was sunk, the result of the great war may come to depend wholly on the ingenuity to discover a more effective means of combatting submarines. From what direction is the tremendous prob- lem to be approached? What are the general lines along which inventive skill must search for a solution, the basic conditions that must be fulfilled to obtain success? An agency which, like the U-boat itself, can fight in three dimensions will obviously have a great superiority over guns on merchant craft, destroyers, cruisers, battleships, other present means of defense against submarines. A new form of submersible construction which would enable one U-boat to pursue and attack efficiently a hostile U-boat would seem a solution of the jproblem. But what changes will make such a form possible? Manifestly the aeroplane has a great advan- tage in being able to locate its adversary by sight. | But may not devices for locating a submarine in the depths by hearing, so much more delicate than any now known as to prove a substitute for sight, overcome this great handicap? = = —_—— COAL IS DIFFERENT. It is not patriotic to fill your cellar with food, because -that creates scarcity and causes high prices, but there is nothing more patriotic than filling your shed with coal. The case of coal is different from that of food. There is plenty of coal. Filling the sheds in the summer against the winter’s need is not going to create scarcity and cause high prices. Failure to fill sheds, how- ever, while the filling’s good, will have precisely those effects. It is this way: While the supply of coal is bounteous, the production and distribution of coal have limitations. For one thing the coal miner is uncertain. He may strike. For another thing there is a scarcity of coal cars. For months most of the mines supplying St. Louis territory with coal have not been able to work much more than half time because of lack of cars. Next winter, if the war in Burope continues, the condition will be worse. Notwithstanding the uncertainty of the miners and the inadequacy of the car supply, the mines can turn out and the railroads can distribute enough coal for everybody if they can spread the production and the distribution througy the year. They cannot, under conditions now exist- ing and likely to continue, produce and distribute enough in Bix months or less time for a year’s requirements. | A If war continues through next winter the world will need all the coal that the mines of America can produce. Great Britain is already short 15,000,000 tons. France’s plight is worse. [This country is now mining nearly 60 per cent f Next winter our domestic and industrial require- meuts will be greater. The railroads will need more than ever before. The navy, which fights on its furnace, needs twice as much coal in time of war as in time of peace. - = = = — ae Maximilian Harden, whose paper was suppressed almost weekly in the early days of the war, is now permitted to express the most radical sentiments without hindrance. Has Germany reached the point where the voice of democracy is too loud to be silenced ? hs —_—_————_——_—_ $-o— MUST HAVE THE DIET’S HELP. After steadfest@y refusing since the beginning of the war to convoke the National Parliament, the rulers of Austria have at last decided they can no longer delay it. The Emperor’s decision to summon that body is plainly causing many misgivings in Germany. It seems to be another indication that the power of the German party in Austria is rapidly weakening. The Parliament has not been convoked hitherto because the aristocracy has been afraid to con- voke it. At all times one of the most discordant political bodies in the world, the assembly at this time should be harder to handle than ever. To their normal disputes the irreconcilable factions will add the greater dissensions that have come with war weariness. The Slavs and Czechs undoubtedly will be emboldened to ask embar- rassing questions because of the success of democ- racy and the cause of local self-government in Russia. The Hungarians will have a bill of com- plaint to file about the unsatisfactory conduct of hostilities. Above all, the old, perennial discon- tent of all other factions against the civil and military dominance of the German influence is bound to flame into new and brighter resentment, The session will afford the first real test of the powers of leadership of the new monarch. If Kaiser Karl can patch up some measure of har- mony and obtain at least a fair outward show of mutual trust and co-operation, it will be no longer possible to doubt that even a bigger man than Franz Joseph has ascended the throne. >. Lr. Lr > Ai A A ORGANIZING FOR A LONG WAR. President Daniel Willard of the B. & O., mem- ber of Mr. Wilson’s National Defense Council, is helping to destroy some fatuous illusions in warn- ing the country to prepare for a long war. If peace comes within the next few months, it will be due to unexpected factors and probably will be influenced more by Germany's interior than its exterior situation. All the indications that now justify optimism point to progress at a slow rate and a bitter, stubborn contest. “Just imagine the effect if Russia were to effect a settlement with Germany,’ says Mr. Willard. “Two and a half million men woyld be released to fight on the western front.’ But perfidy to the ailies on the part of Russia would mean more than that. It would mean relief for irksome conditions that are seriously affect- ing German fighting power. It would mean great stores of food from Russia’s wide areas for half- rationed Germany. It would mean supplies of metals and many other things whose lack now handicaps the Kaiser. Mr. Willard’s statement that the entire rail- road system is now operated by a central head at Washiffgton shows that American transportation is prepared for’a long war. A large measure of relief from congestion is to be looked for. No other allied nation entered the war with so high a degree of national organization as that with which the United ‘States will enter it. a == - i i 4 FALSE IMPRESSIONS. El HeraYdo of Parral, a Mexican journal, said last year, mistaking our patient, watchful wait- ing: Germany has answered the demands of. the United States for the sinking of the Lusitania with the sinking of the Nebraska. Hoch! Hurrah for the insolent pirates of the uncul- tured hearts, devoid of all pity"! Germany’s brutal defiance of the United States passes affront. Never in the history of the world has a so-called strong nation been so insulted with another with so much premeditation and such disdain. The gauntlet thrown in the face of the transatlantic country (the United States) will not be picked up by the latter; ‘it will stick in its face like: bloody saliva; the sun of all the centuries will not dry it. And this offended country, unable to seek refuge in war, will seek refuge in rhetoric. It will not fight; it will talk. And yet, to this day, there are a few Americans who are giving foreigners the same impression this foolish Mexican journal had. = = ™ i i Gen. Joffre’s English vocabulary now consists of “Thank you” and “I don not speak the En- glish.”” By the time he leaves St. Louls he ought to be able to say: “That was a wonderful recep- tion.’' ¢¢e¢ WRECKING OF TWO RAILROADS. The general facts in the wrecking of the Pere Marquette and C. H. & D. railroads have been known to the public for years. That the Inter- state Commerce Commission now submits a re- port on them belatedly is due to a request of Congress expressed in a resolution. The report makes this particular chapter in frenzied finance a matter of official record and adds a few new details. An interesting feature of what the commission has to say relates to the manner in. which great railroad magnates unload unprofitable properties which they acquire in unguarded moments. The Prince interests began the wrecking of the Pere Marquette and then, after profiting largely by watering the securities, sold it at an advance to the Zimmermann interests of Cincinnati. The latter kept right on with the wrecking and then wished the system off onto Mr. Morgan. When the great trust-maker -discovered he had been imposed on, did he pocket. his losses and smile? Not at all. He passed the buck by unloading the road onto the Erie, which he controlled. How- ever, when the minority Erie interests strength- ened themselves for a row he took the road back and unloaded it onto the B. & O., which he also controlled. Of the successive transactions that water- logged the two roads, the report says: “Only a court of crimina) jurisdiction could deal ade- quately with them.” Why was it that a court of criminal jurisdiction did not deal with them? { of the world’s output but that is not enough.

JT. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH ——— ee eee LEONEL FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 4, 1917. ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH —- Se a ee Dorey, Bex Every Woman Wants a Man Who Will Master Her, Yet Make Her Feel That —SAYL- She Is a Queen. 1 7 HE third way in which a wife would like to be treated is like a cave ‘woman, yet a suffragette. peste: In one of his stories, Booth Tarkington says that the desire ; pet every man is to find a woman who will bé ice to all the balance of the =," pe world, but fire to him. an A i i to the balance of the world, but soft as putty in her hands. Every woman's desire is to find a man who will be hard as adamant More than that, she wants a man who will master her, yet make her feel that she is : queen, If I were to pick out the one quality that makes a man a desirable nusbahd from a woman's point of view, I should say that it is the quality nat makes a man a good whip. »mething that we call “a hand.” He He must know must have that subtle, undefinable how to drive with a light rein, when to give the gray mare her head, and when to pull on the bit; when to hold her steady and when to let her bolt; when to coax _her and when to urge her on. But, above all, he must make her feel, as the ® good driver does his horse, that there {s a bigger intelligence, a stronger ) will than hers behind her, guiding and protecting and directing her along the road of life. T is because men so seldom possess | the right sort of hand and drive the matrimonial team 80 clumsily, go brutally, or so carelessly, that 80 “many wives kick over the traces, or ‘ turn balky, or run away and upset the } apple cart. , In spite of feminism and women’s rights, there is one right that no wom- an wants, and that is the right of superiority over her husband. Every woman wants to look up to her hus- band. She wants to feel that he is bigger and broader and wiser than she is, and that she can lean on his ‘strength and depend on NBs judg- ment. That is why the easels families are those in which the wife begins every sentence with “John said,” and while it is true that women do often display great affection for men who are weaklings, that love is not the real passion*of a woman for her mate. Jt ig the pitying, protecting maternal) love of a mother for a defective child.

Then came silence. All soris of yarns went around, you :know: but she held her head right up, I tell you. Then she got a clipping from some cheap news- Paper out West telling about an acci- dent he had been in, and with the clip- ~ ping was a letter from a friend of his, saying that he had died since the ac- cident. It threw her off her head, I guess, for since then she’s been going to the postoffice just the same. She’s all right other ways—one of the best G@resemakers in town, so the women tell me. Yes, it’s kind of a sad story. Some figure there’s something queer - about. the way she got,the news of his _ @eath—might have married somebody else, and put up.a job on Martha.

Marshal was tem)ted to get out and get out quickly; but he had -spent money and effort. and he decided to see the thing througi. He touched the silent ficure. [Ic stirred, and the eyes vopened—faded and empty. “Does Clarke Marsh2l arked. He bent co catch the faint whisper. Shertnac live here?’ “Why—yes—I am—Clarke Sherman— yes.”’ Marshal's heart picked up its beat. “Did you ever know a Martha Lane?’ The faded eyes. sserned to darken and the lean figure to stiffen. “Martha Lane of Reedsboro?’ the whisper asked. ‘‘Yes—sne died—2%0 or more years ugo.’’ “No, she didn't,”’ Ma ‘shal ssid bluntly. “She’s living now and wei'ing for vou. I’ve seen her. I know.’’ Beating down tnrough the failing mind, the “urds went like.the summors that brings i!fe within the tomn: a faint color gathered in the wan cheeks, and the whisper caine stronger. “She is! She is! '‘ But’’— the color beran to fade and the shadows deepened in his eyes, ‘‘—she didn’t write.’’ At Marshal's answer the figure turned convulsively, ‘‘Why didn’t you write? She’s been waiting all these years to hear from you.”’ The shriek of the automobile horn drew his attention. He turned to face the raging Seeker. “What are you doing here? or you'll get thrown out!”’ Thankful for the warning of his friend in the car, Marshal faced Seeker—and realized that he still held the wrench in his hand. “Careful, Seeker—’’ With an oath Seeker jumped at him, and Marshal met him half way. Get out Once more in his hotel room, in spite of a throbbing head. Marshal wrote a letter to a business friend in the New England village; and in it were these paragraphs: “The whole mystery is now clear. Sherman fell into the hands of this Seeker, who after Sherman’s injury, took charge of him, and managed to get hold of his affairs. Learning that Sherman was planning to return East, I am fully convinced he fixed up some scheme by which he made Sherman cer- tain that his sweetheart was dead, and, of course, it was easy for Seeker to try a similar scheme on Miss-Lane. Sher- ‘Man was crippled in an accident, and is an invalid now, but he was far from killed. Seeker is a man of ferocious disposition, and everybody left him sev- erely alone, I guess. I gave him a pret- ty sound drubbing, and have starte:] legal action against him here; and I’m going to see that it’s pushed through! “Sherman is under the doctor’s care here. He's strong enough to go East in a short time. Seeker had control of Sherman’s money and place, but we'll get it back, and I think there’s enough to keep the couple in comfort as long as they live. And, by the way, he man- aged to write a letter to Miss Lane. ! imagine it will arrive on the afternoon mail. Just to oblige me, won’t you go over to the office and watch her when she receives the letter? You'll see, if I am not mistaken—the dream of a life- time come true!’ Why not a commission of women from the allies? FOR COMPLEXION: USE FRESH LEMONS Any girl or woman can prepare a quarter pint of this splendid lemon cream for few cents. Many women use just the juice of lemons to bleach or whiten the skin, but pure lemon juice is acid, there- fore irritating, unless mixed with orchard white. At the cost of a small jar of ordin- ary cold cream one can prepare a full quarter pint of the most wonder- ful lemon skin bleach, skin softener and complexion beautifier, by squeez- ing the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice through fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. It really will bleach and remove such blemishes as pimples, freckles and tan and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier which ab- sorbs readily and is not sticky or greasy. | Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this harm- less lemon lotion and apply it daily to the face, neck, arms and hands. It brings back to any skin the white- ness, the sweet freshness and flex- ibility of which it has been robbed He stepped in—and | ic conditions.—ADV.

Seaplane Recalls Interview = With Albert Bond Lambett. ; _- The announcement that the British ‘Steamer Gona was sunk May 1 by a tor- 0 discharged .from a German sea~- ‘Mlane recalls the statement made by f « rt Bond Lambert in an interview ‘@th the Post-Dispatch a year and a ‘BRIf ago, to the effect that Rear Ad- jiral Fiske’s idea of an aerial torpedo being developed ty experiments in Navy Department. is At the time, it was stated that Ger- many was known to be working on a similar plan, which, judging from the “Sie of the Gena, has been carriedj . * out with some success. One of the spec- “a tive possibilities of the incident {fs at the German seaplane settled down ntar the water and released its torpedo much as a destroyer or cruiser might do. ‘This supposition gains support from the "Ht that a second seaplane, aiding the fivst, was destroyed by the Gena’s guns. An aeroplane, diving near or resting on ‘the waters would be an easier mark than one in the air, though it could af- ‘ford this risk in view of the superior ~mpeguracy of a torpedo over a bomb. > ie fsceording to Lambert, Admiral ke’s idea was eventually to develop Ve aeroplane which would itself be a Y) torpedo, flying in the air instead of oe #wimming in the water. The machine ld carry no crew, would be aimed 4 stabilized with mechanical devices, and fiy from six to ten feet above the “wépter to its target. The aeroplane “would be wrecked in the explosion when it struck its target, just as a sub- marine torpedo now is. By the use of such a contrivance, said Lambert, a t blockading New York could send edo aeroplanes over Sandy Hook and sink ships in New York harbor. °* "That the Germans did not use such a device may be indicated by the fact that the report does not mention the qafestruction of the machine which tor- fp aioed the Gena, but does say that the machine had a crew, The British Admiralty has announced at the method of launching torpedoes iytrom seaplanes was first successfuily cticed by British naval hydroplanes, ch sank several ships in the Dar- | SOCIETY HE garden tea which Mr. and Mrs. Bugene H. Angert were to have given last Sunday at their place in the county on the Kent road, just off the Clayton road, was postponed until next Sunday on account of the bad weather. The first of the Spring Flower Bridge parties will be given at Mrs. Angert’s tomorrow afternoon.

Mrs. Charles Cummings Collins of 2 Lenox place has returned from a week’s visit in Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Lucian Dutilh Cab- anne have announced the engage- ment of Mr. Cabanne’s youngest sis- ter, Miss Emilie Maffitt Cabanne, to Lieut. John Murray Jenkins Jr., U. S. A. Miss Cabanne is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Sarpy Carr Cabanne and a niece of Maj. George W. Goode. The date of the marriage depends. wpon military conditions, as Mr. Jen- kins is in camp with his regiment, the Eleventh Cavalry, on the border, but it probably will take place in the early summer. Miss Cabanne returned a short time azo from a visit to her sister, Mrs. Austin A. Parker and Capt. Parker in Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and has been visiting her nieces, Misses Isabel and Dorys Cabanne at 4515 Berlin av- enue. They will depart May 17 for their summer homé in Alexandria, Minn., to join their parents who have just gone, and Miss Rubaiine will return to Fort Leavenworth to stay with Mrs. Parker and will be married there. Mr. Jenkins belongs to an old cav- alry family. He is the son of Col, Jenkins of the Eleventh Cavalry, the grandson of Gen. James F. Wade, re- tired, and the nephew of Capt. John P. Wade. Mr. Jenkins’ mother is Mrs: Charles C. Crosby of Ashtabula, O., and will go to Leavenworth for the wedding. Mrs. Jacob Fraley of Chicago is visit- ing her mother at 4...

A man who registered at the Hotel Jefferson April 22 at L. H. Brownlee of Los Angeles, ‘Cal., and who killed himself with carbolic acid last Sunday, was identified today as L. H. Baker of Lawrence, Kan. The identification was made by detec- tives through a photograph of Baker sent by members of his family, and the body will be sent to Lawrence for burial.

The great war credit measure just enacted by Congress sends our debt up nominally to $7,971,000,000; actually, how- ever, it may be said that the perma- nent increase in our public debt con- templated by the $7,000,000,000 authoriza- tion is only $2,000,000,000. Of the §$7,000,- 000,000 provided, $3,000.000,(00 are to be ex- changed for a like amount of bonds of our allies, which, presumably, will %e redeemed in 20 to 40 years; and $2,000,- 000,000 are in the fiature of a one-year loan, anticipating revenues payable in the current year. At the outbreak of the present war the public debt of Great Britain was $5,500,000, 600, a reduction of $1,000,00¢,00C from the period of the Napoleonic wars. The wealth of Great Britain was esti- mated at §80,000,000,000. Great Britain today is $19,550,000,000, or nearly 25 per cent of her nationa! wealth. The British daily expenditures have jumped from $2,750,000 previous to August, 1914, to over $25,000,000 a day. Germany Raised Little. The national wealth of Germany in 1914 was estimated at $50,000,000,000, with « bonded debt of $1,172,000,000. Sie has made successive loans of from $2,000,000,- 000 to $3,000,000,000 every few months un- til her debt Nov. 1, 1916, stood at $15,- 260,000,000, and is today nearly $20,000,000 - 000. Germany did not greatly increase her taxes at the beginning of the war, as did England and France, but relied almost entirely on the issuance of bonds, which was proposed to liquidate by indemnities levied upon her vanquishe’4 enemies. England. however, is now paying 29 per cent of her expenses out of current taxes. France had an estimated wealth at the outbreak of the war of $55,000,000,000, with a debt of over $6,000,000,000, of which more than _ $2,000,000,000 repre- sented indemnities raid the allies in 1815 and to Prussia in 1871.

Its developed wealth is es- timated at $50,000,000,000, with a war debt of $10,000,000,000 to date. _ Wealth of U, 8. $200,000,000,000, Beside these figures it is consoling to reflect that the national wealth of the United States is estimated at $200,000,- 000,000, nearly as great as that of Great Britain, Germany and France combined. Yet of this vast sum it is* computed that one-sixteenth, or about $12,000,000,000, is represented in the property of charitable and other institu- tions which is exempt from taxation. Nevertheless, before the public debt of the United States reaches the ratio to its wealth that the war has brought upon the foremost European belliger- ents, we can increase cur debt to nearly $50, 000,000,000. The consensus of opinion in Con- gress during the debate upon the war- credit measure seemed to be that our part in the war shouid be financed to the largest practicable extent out of current taxes, and the British propor- tion of 23 per cent in taxes to 75 per cent in loans appeared to be acceptable. Assuming the war will last, our ex- penditures will soon increase to a rate in the vicinity of $10,000,000,000 a year, with between $2,000,000,000 and $3,000,000, - 000 raised annually through taxation. Our normal annual revenue is about one Dillion. : These are staggering figures and that coming generation will bear tremendous burdens from the financial operations necessitated by the war cannot be doubted. Yet the increase of wealth in times: of peace is no less startling. Past British Experiences. The financial burdens created by wars of the past have invariably caused ecn- temporary statesmen to declare that ¢ach would end in bankruptcy. Thus the British experiences of the past are set down by an English historian: “‘A million a year will beggar us,’ safd the patricts of 1640. “*Two millions a year. will grind the country to powder,’ was the cry of 1660, ‘* ‘Six millions a year and a debt of ten millions!’ exclaimed Swift, ‘the high allies have been the ruin of us.’ ““*A hundred and forty millions of debt!’ said Junius. ‘Well may we say that we owe Lord Chatham more than we shall ever pay, if we owe him such a load as this.’ “**Two hundred and forty millions of debt!’ cried all the statesmen of 1783, in chorus. ‘What abilities or what econ- “my on the part of Ministers can save a country so burdened!’ “We know that if since 1783 no. fresh Gebt had been incurred the increased resources of the country would have enabled us to defray that debt at which Pitt, Fox and Burke stood aghast, and that with much lighter taxation than that which we have actually borne. On what principle is it that when we see nothing but improvement behind us, we are to expect nothing but dettrioration before us?” The great indemnity of 5,000,000,000 francs imposed by Bismarck upon France in 1871 was inténded as a load under which France should be crushed for all time. The actual results were that France became thrifty and pros- perous under it, while Germany suffered a financial collapse through inflation in- cident to her sudden enrichment.

Light, durable, sturdy aluminum cook- ing utensils have supplanted the un- sightly black iron kettle, the lead- glaze and poisonous earthenware, the always cracking and chipping enamel! pots and pans.

= LOUIS POST-DISPATCH FRIDAY EVENING, TT ABR SRN a A EC WIFE SAYS MAN SLAIN BY “HUSBAND HAD ATTACKED HER Mrs: Vawter Discloses Their Rela- tions in Effort to Save Professor _ Accused of Murder. CHRISTIANSBURG, Va., May 4.— Pestimony in the trial of Prof. Charlies E. Vawter; charged with mur- Gering Stockton Heth Jr., apparently drew to a close today. Mrs. Vawter, who yesterday testified in defense of her’ husband, completed her recital Vv. The outstanding features of Mrs. Vawter’s testimony were that she ac- knowledged intimacies with Heth while under the influence of intoxi- cants; that she repelled him at other times. and that Vawter was aware of her acts and upbraided her. Heth had attacked her, she said, the night he was killed. Mrs. Vawter’s description of the tragedy in her home on the morning of March 13 follows: “IT was awakened by my _ child’s coughing and ran into the hall for medicine. I heard Heth call ‘Come in here; I want to talk to you,’ I re- fused and he grasped me. -“Soon I heard Vawter moving about in his room and I ran toward the room of our children. He went downstairs for his revolver and I fol- lowed pleading with him to let me kill myself, but to no avail. Coming upstairs in the darkness I felt him sway and say ‘Turn me loose.’ Then I heard Heth’'s voice saying ‘I won't.’ Shots followed and I found Heth ly- ing on the floor. I told him it was my fault and he answered that it was all his. Then I went into the chil- dren’s room and found Vawter talk- ing to them.” 28 AUTOMOBILES DONATED FOR U, S, AMBULANCE FIELD SERVICE Attempt Being Made to Provide Two Sections of Twenty-Five Ma- chines and Men Each, Individuals, clubs and business or- ganizations have given automobiles to the St. Louls Committee of the American Ambulance Field Service, which is trying to raise enough money and cars to equip two complete am- bulance sections of 25 cars and men each. Marion lL, J. Lambert and Sid- ney T. Bixby yesterday gave a car each and volunteered to be their drivers. Twenty-eight machines al- ready have been provided for. Among the donors of machines of the money necessary to purchase them are Racquet Club, two; Mrs. Newton R. Wilson, two; one each by Leg Cabin Club, Rotary Club, Mer- chants’ Exchange, Mrs. George W. Niedringhaus, Dwight F. Davis, H. H. Langenberg, Daniel K. Catlin, Ed- ward Mallinckrodt, Mrs. Julia M. Waleh, Edward J. Walsh, J. P. Tirrill, Charles Wiggins, George O. Carpen- ter, the English War Relief Society and ank P. Crunden. \ The cost of an ambulance and its maintenance for a year is $1600. The eost to the drivers and members of the section for their service, which must be paid by themselves, is put at $3765 each for six months service. To raise funds for the ambulance motion pictures ot tre battle of the Somme and of the English navy w be shown at the Odeon in tne after- noon and evening of May 14. GERARD DECLARES THE WAR WILL BE LONG AND BITTER Iittie Likelihood of Revolution in Germany, Where Workmen Are of “Class Born Every Minute.” CHICAGO, May 4.—James W. Gerard former Ambassador to Germany, told members of the Chicago Bar Associa- tion at a banquet last night that the war ‘with Germany would be “long ard bitter."’ Gerard asserted that there wa3 little likelihcod of a revolution or up- rising in Germany. “Many persons in this country be- Heve that we are not actually in this war,” Gerard said. “There is danger in sucha view. _ “I do not believe the German people » will ‘rise. There is no people in the world who come more within the class who are said to be born every minute than the German working man. Tne Reichstag is nothing but a debating sc- ciety, in which none but a member of thé Government may introduce a bill. The people have been too Jong a part of the efficient German system to rise and assert themselves. An uprising is impossible because all the able-bodied men are at the front and those who are at home can do nothing because of the police, who ure recruited from the noncommissioned officers of the army.” MARRIAGE LICENSES, mer Hoff ir Fimer ee ighland, 4 oil a Hart pomahe Cc Wolf ec Stella a elt St. Charles, 1488 i ee Gage.
