L. Saun- ders, chairman of the Naval Consult- ing Board, announced here today that the board had forwarded. to Wash- ington plans for dealing with the submarine problem, which it was be- lieved had solved the problem suc- cessfully. Saunders, who has been chairman of the Naval Consulting Board about two months, supplemented his announcement by saying that while the submarine problem cannot be considered in reality to have been solved until the U-boats have been destroyed, nevertheless num- erous experiments had been made along the Atlantic coast with highly encour- aging results which led the board to feel confident that a successful solution had been reached. It looks as though the desde CIFF problem had been solved,“ Saunders said, not only in theory, but on the strength of practical tests on the At- lantic coast.“ Saunders added that 500 inventions for U-boat suppression had been submitted for the consideration of the board, and experiments with many of them justi- fled, he believed, the asertion that a plan had been found by which the sub- marine peril could be eliminated. Saunders was unwilling to go into fur- ther details of the board’s experiments. all data on the subject having Been for-! warded to Washington, but he said the public had a right to be informed of the progress made toward modifying the depredations of the German under- sea craft. — — JOFFRE INSISTED ON WAITING HIS TURN IN BARBER SHOP Refused, in Chicago Club, to Accept Offer of Two Men to Take Their Turn. CHICAGO, May 5.—A barber at the Chicago clyb is telling a story to illus- trate the democracy of Marshal Joffre. Two men. were awaiting their turn to be shaved when he entered. The barbers and the men who were waiting begged the Frenchman to get immediately into a chair. „But,“ said the barber, do you think he’d move in out of his turn? Not he! He just sat down and insisted on await- ing until he was next.“ ICE MAN PUT “G'S” ON GATES Marked 3 on . Route: Did Not Stand for Germany. A mystery was cleared today when the Schroeter Coal Co. explained Whey the letter ‘‘G’’ was found marked in yellow chalk on the alley gates of many St. Louis homes. The cabalistic letter did not stand for Germany, but for Gessler. An ice wagon driver of that name employed by the company had been transferred. to an- other route and he marked the gdtes of all homes on his route list so- that his successor would know where to de- liver ice.

AMSTERDAM, via London, May 5.~—A restriction of the power of the Emperor of Germany has been decided upon by the Constitution Committee of the Reichstag, according to a dispatch from Berlin. The committee had decided to alter article XVII of the imperial consti- tution as follows: “Ordinances and decrees of the Kaiser will be issued in the name of the empire and will require for validity the counter- signature of the Imperial Chancellor or his representative, who thereby assumes responsibility to the Reichstag.“ The decision of the committee was in accordance with a joint proposal by the Centrists, National Liberale and the Pro- gressives. Four Conservative members voted against the change. The committee also adopted a resolu- tion by the same proposers demanding a bill fixing the Chancellor's responsibility for any violation of his official duty and the verification of such violation by a Senate tribunal. The Constitution Committee has re- jected Dr. Bernstein’s proposal re- quiring the approval of the Reichstag when treaties are being instituted and | concluded, when war is declared, and when peace agreements are being set- tled, the Berlin dispatches state. The committee also has rejected the proposal to introduce a bil] giving the Reichstag power to dismiss the Chancellor when it, wishes, the ad- vices add. a Philip Schiedemann, Socialist lead- er, was recently appointed president of the committee ‘which was chosen by order of the aKiser himself to rec- ommend changes in the German form of government. Its recommendations must be approved by the Reichstag | itself and presumably also by the Kaiser. French Flag to Fly From Postoffice.

WASHINGTON, May § 5.—President Wilson occupied a seat in the executive gallery of the House today while Brit ish Foreign Minister Balfour and mei.- bers of the British mission were re- ceived on the floor. It was the first time, as far as Capitol historians could find, that any President of the United States had appeared in the galleries. President Wilson entered the execu- tive gallery unnoticed while Represen- tative Estinopal of Loulsiana was read- ing, in French, a message from the President of the Chamber of Deputie of Rumania. The message said the Chamber of Deputies hastened to ex- press to the representatives of thr American house its warmest congratu- lations on joining the war against Ger- many. After the President had been in the gallery five.minutes, he was dis- covered, and members stood up and cheered. The President rose and bowed while the galleries joined in the de- monstration. Balfour Addresses House. Then the House turned its attention to Mr. Balfour and his party, who were escorted into the chamber to handclap- ping and cheers. Mr. Balfour was im- mediately introduced by Speaker Clark and addressed the House. “Will you permit me,” he began, to offer you my most sincere thanks for the honor done me here today. Mr. Balfour spoke as follows: “Will you permit me, on behalf of my friends and myself, to offer you my deepest and sincerest thanks for the rare and valued honor which you have done us by receiving us here to- day? We all feel the greatness of this honor, but I think to none of us can it come home so closely as to one who, like myself, has been for 43 years in the service of a free assembly like your own. “T rejoice to think that a member, 1 very old member, I am sorry to say, of the British House of Commons, has been ih Bü here today by this great sister assembly with such kindness as you have shown to me and my friends. Oldest of Free ‘Assemblies. Ladies and gentlemen, these two as- semblies are the greatest and the oldest of the free assemblies now governing great nations in the world. The his- tory, indeed, of the two is very differ. ent. The beginnings of the British House of Commons go back to a dim historic past, and its full rights and status have only been conquered and permanently secured after Centuries of political struggle. “Your fate has been a happier one. You were called into existence at a much later stage of social development. You came into being complete and per- fected and all your powers determined and your place in the Constitution se- cured beyond chance of revolution, but though the history of these two great as- resents the great democratic principle to which we look forward as the se- curity for the future peace of the world. All of the free assemblies now to be found governing the great nations of the earth have beed modeled either upon your practice or upon ours, or upon both combined. Mr. Speaker, the compliment paid to the mission from Great Britain by such and assembly and on such an occasion. is one not one of us is ever likely to forget; but there is something after all even deeper and more significant in the circumstances under which I now have the honor to address you, than any which arise out of the interchange of courtesies, however sincere, between two great and friendly nations. “We all, I think, feel instinctively that this is one of the great moments in the history of the world, and that what is now happening on both sides of the Atlantie represents the drawing to- gether of great and free peoples for mutual protection against the aggres- sion of military despotism. Future Peace of World. “I. am not of those, none of you are among them, who are such bad dem- ocrats as to say that democracies make no mistakes, All free asemblies have committed crimes. Why is it-then that we look forward to the spirit of free in- stitutions and especially among our present enemies, as one of the greatest guarantees of the future peace of the world? I will say to you, gentlemen, how it seems to me. “It is quite true that the people and the representatives of the people may be betrayed by some momentary gust of passion into a policy which they will ultimately deplore, but it is only a mu- itary despotism of the German type that can through generations, if need bo. pursue steadily, remorselessly, unscrup- ulously and appallingly the object of | dominating the civilization of mankind.

M. R. Bevington, chief naturaliza- tion officer in St. Louis, today an- nounced that the Government “will oppose the appearance of Kurt von Reppert as a witness in any natural- ization case.“ The full text of Bevington's written statement, given out for publication, is as follows: Upon inquiry of the naturalization office as to the attitude of the Govern- ment with respect to Von Reppert, M. R. Bevington, chief naturalization ex- aminer, said that the newspapers during the past weeks have carried articles at- tributing disloyal, anti-American and rro-German statements to Von Reppert. He was given an opportunity to come in and state his side of the controversy. He not having taken advantage of this offer and on the assumption that his silence is an admission of the truth- fulness of the reports carried in the papers respecting his attitude, the Gov- ernment will oppose his appearance hereafter as a witness in any natural- ization case. “If a witness himself be disloyal to the Government, the is not in a position to testify to the loyalty of any other person.“ The announcement followed the action of Jacob Heim, an architect, of 3646 A Arsenal street, in asking that his ap- plication for second papers be with- drawn because he had been informed that Von Heppert, one of his witnesses, was disloyal. Judge Dyer personally ap- proved the withdrawal of the applica- tion and granted permission to Heim ta file a new application. Von Reppert Was Witness, Heim came to the United States from Germany in 1907, and sometime later declared his intention to become a cit- izen. He applied for his second papers about six weeks ago, his witnesses being Von Reppert and Rembert von Muenchausen, a reporter on Die Amer- ikea, a German language newspaper. Several days ago Heim went to the naturalization office and said he was worried because of newspaper acounts of disloyal utterances: by Von Reppert at meetings of the German-American Alliance and elsewhere. The department decided to call in Von Reppert and question him as to his loyalty. A card was sent to him asking him to call in person at the naturaliza- tion office. He did not appear there, but instead he sent a letter in which he said he was naturalized in the St. Louis Criminal Court Oct. 10, 189%. He said nothing as to the allegations that he had expressed himself disloyally since the deciaration of a state of war. Language used by Von Reppert at a meeting of the German-American Alliance recently caused Henry Kerst- ing. Associate City Counselor, and former president of the alliance, to resign from the organization.

ERMAN GUNS ING’ TOWNS LOST IN BATTLE es Artillery Grinding Down Gav- relle, Bailleul, Arieaux, Fres- “SCENES OF FIGHTING Pee Far Over 4 By a Statt Correspondent of the Associated Press. BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, May 4.—Infantry attacks and counter-attacks having subsided for the time being, there came from the battle front tonight only the dull roar of the never-ending artillery duel. nere was stiff fighting all through last night and early today as the Ger- mans threw heavy reserves into coun- . ter-attacks which cost them dearly. These counter-attacks succeeded only in the neighborhood of Cherisy, where the British troops fell back from the more advanced posts occupied early yester- day. “ The British line on the war maps has the appearance of a jig saw puzzle and really reflects the severity of the fighting which has surged back and forth during the last 48 hours. There ~ are various “‘pockets’’ in the front that ‘remain to be cleared out, and the ar-, *tilery today was paying particular at- “tention to them. The guns also make life very unpleasant for the German in- ‘ Rabitants of Oppy wood. Canadians Hold On. The Canadians resisted all attempts to drive them from their newly won posi- tion at Fresnoy, and further south the British troops which penetrated another sector of the Hindenburg line were hold- int tight to their gains. New Germa units constantly are being identified Among the prisoners taken. ’. Meanwhile the German artillery is making targets of the villages wrested from the Germans in the last two weeks. Gavrelle, Bailleul, Arleux, Fresnoy and Monchy are being ground to powder by the thousands of high-explosive shells, in accordance with the German custom of “strafing’’ every place from which they are driven. „The scene of the fighting has become more visible since the British took so much high ground during the first phase om the battle of Arras. It now is posst- e to look far over the Douai plain. em the Vimy Ridge and the heights bout Monchy the war spreads out be- low in a great panoramic picture. A e ett of the German ar- Stillery lent far more color to the scens. The entire battle zone seems at tima “to be canopied by flying shells. The barrage curtains set up here and there appear in the distance like immense sts’ palettes daubed with splotches ot red, brown, white, black, gray and pink. There is real artistry in a well- laced barrage and under such a one tish infantrymen advance with a ess. born of ever-increasing confi- ence in the efficiency of their gunners. It is possible from the heights to look fon pretty little French villages far back of the shell fire area, to see cities like Doual. Cambrai and even Lille, and one bannot but wonder what will be their rate as the occupying Germans are brok- en loose from their nearly three years’ ogrip on this industrially wealthy section of France.

By ARNO DOSCH-FLEUROT A Staff Correspondent ef the Post- Dispatch and New York World. (Copyright, 1917, by Press Pub. Co.) PETROGRAD, May 4, via London May 5.—The first demonstration against a member of the provisional Government occurred in St. Isaac Square last night against Foreign Minister Miliukoff, on account of his nete to the allies pledging Russia’s adherence to the treaties signed by the old regime. It was followed about midnight by an impressive counter- demonstration in which 20,000 per- sons, after parading the city, gath- ered before the Marinsky Palace, crying “Down with Lenine!” (Nikolai Lenine, the Russian radical Socialist, who returned from exile in Switser- land by the grace of the German Gcvernment, and is accused of pro- German peace agitation), and pro- claiming their support of Millukoff, dcmanding that he stand firm againet the Council of Soldiers’ and Work- men’s Deputies. This was also the first demonstra- tion against the Council. After the first demonstration last night the Soldiers’ and Workmen's Council, its 2800 members in execu- tive session, demanded that the pro- visional Government withdraw its note to the allies, agrecing to sup- port all the treaties of the old re- gime, public or secret; that all treaties be promptly published, and that active steps be taken toward ending the war. Soldiers Before Palace. Barly in the evening, two regi- ments of soldiers rapidly joined by others, massed before the Marinsky Palace, where the Council of Minis- ters was meeting, to demand that Miliukoff resign. The Government had been yielding to\the demands of the Council of Soldiers’ and Work- men’s Deputies on all internal ques- tions, with the idea of right of democracy to decide, but considered themselves forced to stand by the treaties in spite of the protests of the soldiers and workmen. “I will not retreat under fire; I will not resign because a crowd de- mands it.” declared Miliukoff, appear- ing on the balcony of the Marissky Palace, in the open air, before the vast throne. “T see that placards demand my resignation; that people are crying against me because I sent a note to the allies saying that Russia will keep her obligations. I have done my duty, I have confidence in the country and I mean to stay Minister. ent forget that I exposed qStumer; that I defied the old Govern- ment, and I am not going now to let our work be ruined by a small part be forced into seeking peace, retract our treaties with the allies, or fail In our obligations.“ President Rodzianko of the Duma and Deputy Shingkarieff spoke in the same vein and all were loudly facclaimed. Then, at midnight, fully 20,000 persons of all classes, after parading the city, flowed into the square to proclaim their support of Miliukoff and demand that he stand firm. The Government, however, by the speeches of Miliukoff, Rodzienko and Shingkarieff takes a firm stand against the demands of the council of Soldiers’ and Workmen's Deputies, calling for a trial of strength for the first time since the revolution. Although previously the council had forced the ministry and the min- istry had always yielded the speech- es last night were all devoted to showing that this time it could not yield to the pressure, as Russia's honor was at stake in the issue. ‘The meeting of the councn last night followed an all night session on Wed- nesday, and when I left at 10 o’clock it looked likely to last another night. Ore significant point was that permission was refused for Lenine to speak. The meeting was held in the navai cadets’ hall, presided over by Tscheinize. Scores of Others Speak. Scores of speakers repeated identical sentiments, showing the determination of the most powerful at present in the country to force the hand of the Gov- ernment at all costs. It is the first time the Government has balked the Uouncil and while there are speake's supporting the Government as well as against it in the mass meetings going on on every corner, the indications are that the Government will find it diffi- cult to resist the pressure. I noticed that the speakers, both in the streets aud in the Council, were more openly urging peace measures than ever before. ; Another notable feature of the pres- ent demonstrations is that the street cars are running and every business continuing without fear of interrup- tion, despite the great crowds. The greatest cheers were for the motor trucks loaded with militia, touring the streets as on the first nights of the rev- olution, for the first time since then. There are continuous crowds before the Marinsky Palace, where the min- istry is holding its usual evening meet; ing. The temper of the crowd is re- assuringly reasonable, although firm. — 1 FRENCH CAPTURE CRAONNE IN THEIR DRIVE ON LAON Centinued From Page One. a broad valley leading to the Frencn goal.

ERMAN troop movements of G the utmost significance, pos- sidly harbingers of Hinden- burg spring offensive, are believed to have been taking place. Since Friday no Berlin papers have reached Copenhagen, and no other German papers with the single exception of a belated Hamburger Fremdenblatt this morning. Prac- tically no mail is coming out of Germany, practically no private telegrams, and few press messages. Seldom has the German border been more tightly sealed and be- hind these extraordinary precau- tions against leaks one is justified in seeing the hand of Ludendorff manipulating the figures on the strategic chess board. In the West, fine dry weather is a vital factor in the closely guard- ed Hindenburg-Ludendorff plan, owing to its basis of technical and tactical novelties, and the fact that spring has apparently come to stay tends to confirm the evidence of the closed German border that there is something doing.

TWINS ARE INJURED One Cut on Hand and Other on Face in Home at 2822 Park Avenue. For the third time in four days an armed intruder entered homes m ene central southern portion of the city early today and slashed young women with a razor or a keen-edged knife. Miss Garnett Garrett, 19 years old, daughter of Mrs, Margaret Garrett, was awakened at 3:20 a. m. in her home at 2742 St. Vincent avenue, and found a man kneeling beside her bed. When she ‘screamed the man punched her in the face and then ran out and escaped through a kitchen window. When Mrs. Garrett entered the room and turned on a light she found that her daughter had been cut. There was a deep slash three inches long across her upper lip. At the time she was struck by the intruder she did not realize she was being cut. The man stole 30 cents. Miss Garrett's sister, Pearl, who slept with her, was not molested. Two Slashed in One Home. About 4 a. m., Miss Clara and Miss Odelia Paish, twins, % years old, of 2822 Park avenue were awakened and found a man kneeling by their bed. He whispered if you holler I'll kill vou.“ He caught Odelia by the wrist and cut her across the palm of the left hand. She screamed and aroused her sister. Clara attempted to run to the next room but the intruder intercepted her and struck her a heavy blow on the left side of the neck. He tnen fled through the kitchen. When a light was turned on it was found Clara had a five-inch gash on the side of her neck. The in- truder drank a quart bottle milk, but took nothing else. Cannot Describe Man.

In addition there will be two separate cavalry divisions which probably will be situated in the Southwest, near the Mex- lean border. Officers for the cavalry divisions will be trained at all the 16 officers’ training camps, which wil! open within a few days with 0,000 prospective officers under training. Each infantry division will consist of nine full regiments of infantry, three regiments of field artillery, one regi- ment of cavalry, one regiment of engi- neers, one division hospital and four camp infirmaries. The total strength of the 16 will be 15,022 officers and 439,792 men. The two cavalry divisions combined will have 1214 officers and 32,062 fighting men, including mounted engineers and horse artillery units, and each will have also its divisional nen and camp in- firmaries. and Artillery Units. The proportion of coast artillery troops to be provided out of the first | 500,000 will be 6666 officers and 20,000 men, With requisite medical troops.

In preparation for the enormous task of training this great army, the exigst- ing regular establishment ahd national guard is being brought to full war strength. The regulars, when all five additional increments provided for in the national defense act, have been ad- men of all arms.

WASHINGTON, May 5.—An official outline of the method by which military the selective conscription bill was made public today, with an appeal from the War Department for the voluntary serv- ices of State election and other officials in order that there may be no delay in enrolling and classifying millions of men for army duty. Careful preparation has been made to place the whole task in the hands of civilian officials of the states, and to remove evéry suggestion of military force in putting the measure into effect. The only function of the Federal Gov- ernment will be supervision through the office of the Provost Marshal-General. The department’s statement follows: “There was a time in the count- try’s history when military enu- merators backed by bayonets went out among the people to take a compulsory service census. Today, under the principal of uni- versal liability to service, the ex- ecution of the law is put into the hands of the people. Scheme for Registration. “The approval of the new national army bill and the President's procla- mation thereunder will be coincident. All persons within the age limits pre- scribed will be required to present themselves for registration at the customary voting places in the voting precincts in which they have their permanent homes, on a day which the President will announce. The probability is that from 10 to 15 days will elapse between approval of th® bill and registration day. “The Governor of each State will be the chief of registration therein. The machinery of registration in each county is to be in charge of the Sheriff, the County Clerk and coun- ty physician, acting ex-officio, unless a different board shall be announced by the Governor. In cities contain- ing populations of more than 30,000 the registration will be under control of the Mayor and selected boards of registration. In order that the des- ignated county and city officials and the people generally can get a clear understanding of the census methods the following brief outline is given: “The Sheriffs or other designated officials, immediately upon receiving notice from the Governor, shall ap- point registrars for each voting pre- cinct. “The proportion of registrars shall be one for each 170 persons to be reg- istered, Each age to be registered will comprise about 1 per cent of the population. If, for instance, all men between 19 and 25 years of age in- clusive are to be registered, the reg- istrar would have to enroll about 7 per cent of the precinct population. It is desirable to accept the serv- ices of competent volunteer regis- trars to serve without compensation. All registrars must be sworn. Boards to Be Named. “The voting place in each precinct must be prepared for registration. registration is to be carried out under — Full printed instructions covering every detail of registration will be in the hands of Sheriffs and Mayors on the fifth day after the President's proclamation. “The Mayor of a city containing more than 30,000 inhabitants, or the cials designated by the Governor therein shall with approval of the Governor appoint for each ward or convenient minor subdivision contain- ing about 30,000 persons one registra- tion board and shall designate one lcer of each board to perform duties similar to those imposed upon the Sheriff, as heretofore outlined. If the Mayor desires he may appoint a central board to co-ordinate the work of minor boards. “On the fifth day after the Presi- dent has issued his proclamation, clerks of counties and cities of over 30,000 must secure a supply of blanks and copies of the registration regula- tions from the Sheriff or from thu Mayor. Absentees and the sick will apply to such clerks to have their registration blanks filled out. In no case shall such persons be given reg- istration certificates. They are to be instructed by the clerk that the bur- den is on them! to see to it that the cards reach the registrars of their home precincts by registration day. “Persons absent from their home counties may be registered by mail. If so, absent, a man should go to the clerk of the county where he may be staying on the sixth day after the President’s proclamation. If he is in a city of over 30,000 pop- ulation, the City Clerk is the offcial to whom to apply. The absentee will be told how to register, but he must mail his card in time to reach his precinct by registration day. Provisions for Ill Persons, “Persons too ill to present them- selves for registration must send a competent peraon to the County or City Clerk on the sixth day after the issuing of the proclamation. The Clerk will give instructions for regis- tration. Officials of educational, charitable and other institutions, should apply for instructions to the County or City- Clerk on the sixth day after the date of the’ proclamation as to a convenient method of registration. “The wardens of jails, peniten- tiaries and reformatories should ap- ply to the County or City Clerk for instructions on the sixth day. “Five days after the date of the President's proclamation, complete regulations will be in the hands or all Sheriffs and of the officiais or cities of over 30,000 poplation. The President is authorized to call upon all public officers to assist in the execution of the law. It is ex- pected. that patriotic citizens will offer their serivces free as registrars. Such services will be gratefully ac- knowledged. Volunteers for this ser- vice should communicate immediate- ly with the proper oficials.”’ — second lleutenants including the first 153 will become captains. The result of this expansion will be to create 6461 vacancies in the grades of first and second lieutenants in the army. More than a thousand youths in civil life already have applied for ex- amingtion for second lieutenant and 4000 will be selected from the officers’ training camps. To provide general officers to com- mand the 18 divisional training camps, that number of army Colonels may be examined. As there exists already one vacancy in the grade of Brigadier-Gen- eral, 19 new general officers must be appointed in the near future, and the army bill provides that the President may select these men from any source. A uniform grade of Major-General, senior and junior rank, also has been proposed, doing away with the grade of Brigadier-General. In any event, the present general officers of wide experi- ence probably will be selected so far as possible to command the divisional camps. National Guard Strength. The full strength of the national guard units now existing will be 9847 officers and 329,94 men, giving a total regular and national guard force to be whipped into shape before the new army is called of 21,080 officers and 622,964 men. New units myst be created, however, to fill out tactical organizations, and probably the total of this first force will exceed 700,000 active troops, backed by about 250,000 more in the regimental recruit battalions. From this force will be formed 18 divi- gions, corresponding to the organization of the first new army. From it also, early in September, will be drawn some 200,000 officers and iasioried of- ficers, who will constitute the frame- work on which the new army will be shaped. They will be, with, the 10,000 of- ficers to be selected from the training camps, the instructors of the first army, and on their efficiency rests the whole military fabric that ia to be dullt up. ——— cornea all ran | WASHINGTON U.

CHICAGO, May 5.—Joseph Jacques Joffre, Marshal of France, has smiled his way into the heart of Chicago and the Middle West. Not understanding # @quickened sense of the signifi Zaclish. he met the throngs which be- set the French mission on its every turn today with a kindly, courageous smile—a smile that seemed to explain ‘the title “Papa Joffre.’ And it was with this smile illuminating his face that he stood before the mass meeting last night; after it had clamored for an expression from him, and entwined two small flags, the Tri-color of France and the Star-Spangled Banner of the Unit- ed States. Rene Viviani, French -Minister of Justice and head of the mission, was acclaimed no less enthusiastically. His eloquence brought to Chicagoans a nee of the war and their responsibilities in it. His. e to his American broth- ers “come under your glorious —8 4 to fight for the democracy of the world, to show our men that when tho rights of a single nation are vio- lated, the rights of all nations are npled under foot,’’—the official text which was given out at the home of R. T. Crane Jr., where members of the mission spent the night—was said to have been one of the most dramatic ever made in Chicago. Toast to the President. In the address, made at a dinner to the commissioners, M. Viviani toasted the President of the United States. He pointed out that the common ideals bind democracies together far more closely than alliances of blood bind royal families. He said Lafayette brought—back’ from America many of the ideals which are now dear alike to Frenchmen and Americans. “If we had our doubts as to the jus- tice of our cause, he added, we should not have doubted any longer when, gazing across the vast expanse of sea, we saw all thinking Americans turning to our side and, so far asg they could, by their sympathy, by the bene- fits they showered on the heads of our dying, our orphans, prove to us ‘the ardér of a sympathy which in those tragic hours raised and lifted us above. our very selves. “And if from the first you gave*us in- ~ estimable benefit of your moral support, it is because you are a great democracy, it is because we are a great democracy, because in Europe or in France there are free men who were thus agreed to raise yet higher the flag of democracy before the rampart of an autocracy which is tottering to its fall. Already with fire and sword, by the valor of our children, the strength of our arms, we have passed beyond the wall and above it sent the radiance of all the ideas of liberty.

Along Michingan avenue for blocks the crowd was 30 dense that occupants of office buildings could neither get into nor out of them. „Statement as to Tickets. Statements that bozes and seats for the Friday night welcome to the French mission were sold through scalpers for enormous prices were met today by a formal statement from the committee in charge of investigation that no tickets were sold to any except repre- sentative citizens. Some of the expenses were met by selling boxes for $100 each to represen- tative citizens. The tickets for the main body of the house were distributed, the statement said, through the foreign con- sulates and public and civic organiza- tions. The statement adds that there were less than 4000 seats to be distributed and the committee received many times that number of requests for seats from in- dividuals and organizations.“ Marshal Joffre responded briefly to repeated and vociferous demands of las: nixht's mass meeting for a speech. He brought the cheering throng to its feet amid waving flags by asserting that the French and the American flags, which he entwined as he spoke, would never separate while the struggle for liberty continued. 2 At the behest of M. Viviani the French war “chief, in full uniform, stepped to the front of the rostrum, nolding a French flag in one hand and an American flag in the other. He spoke in French, waving first one flag and then the other, finally entwining the two banners. The words of the famous French Mar- shal in part were: “My friends, I am proud to have in my hand the American flag, which Is to the American people what the French flag is to the people of France—a symbol of liberty. I hold in my other hand the flag of France, who has given of her best, her staunchest and her bravest, and which also stands for lib- erty. I had the honor to carry the French flag on the field of battle and I am glad to join this flag of many battles to the flag that has never known defeat. With this flag I bring to you the salute of the French army to the Aemrican people, our stanch ally in the common cause.’’ It was when M. Viviani referred to the first onrush of the German army almost to the doors of Paris and the order of Marshal Joffre to take the of- fensive that drove back the enemy 30 miles that the hero of the Marne brushed the teats away with his clenched fist and rose impulsively to embrace the orator. M. Viviani said: “In coming into this hall tonight I was deeply touched by the applause which rang out as the national air of France, was played, and also that of America. I have also been very deeply impressed with the talks made by Chair- man Bancroft, the Mayor of Chicago and the Governor of Illinois. „In 1871 fate was against us and we Alsace and Lorraine, but we will have it back tomorrow. ur country has been very patient in spite of many provoca- tions, of which I might mention Tangier, Casa Blanca and others, but it was not until 1914 when it became imperative for us to defend our rights. Germany, who had been preparing herself for this war for a period of 4 years, then came for- ward, expecting to conquer in a few hours, a few days, or a few months, but all of our children answered the call as they would that of their own mother, and while the enemy was temporarily puccessful, as fate was again against us, we withdrew until our General had com- pleted his plan of defense. He then gave us the word: ‘En avant!’ “Then our soldiers with blood in their eyes and determination in tneir hearts, responded bravely, and 50 kilometers of France had been retaken, Americans’ Part tn Wear. | | “Tt u with the greatest of pleasure | suffered heavy losses and they took our that I can recall the part that your country played right from the opening of the war, as I recall seeing the first 54 American ambulances entered in the service. I also remember the beautiful sight of your American women leaning over the beds of our wounded and dying soldiers. I also recall the beautiful work done right from the start of your Amer- ican doctors. “While you were a considerable dis- tance from the seat of war, and while, owing to the censor. the true history of the battle of the Marne, never reached you, it is impossible that you did not have some idea of the battles of the Marne, Yser, Somme and Verdun, where you should have seen the French army as it really was. “There we could see our own sons bleeding and dying by the roadside, and notwithstanding this sight, our army kept up its courage. Inspired by the feeling of democracy, which has an- imated the hearts of their brethren in responding from this side of the At- lantic. It is this spirit which will lead us to the abolishment of autocracy. That is the reason the people of this country responded so freely to the call of your President for the freedom of the world. In closing I am glad to extend the thanks of the mission to you who have received us as brothers.” The French Mission arrived here yes- terday morning from Washington on its tour of middle western and eastern cities which is to include Springfield, III., and St. Louis, and was given an enthusiastic reception by cheering crowds at the railroad station, along the streets on the way to the hotel and whenever the party appeared in public. Hospital Farm Branch Closed. Oak Ridge farm, the county branch of the St. Louis Childrén’s Hospital, has been closed and the farm is to be offered to the Government as a hos- pital for convalescent soldiers. Mrs. Robert McKittrick Jones, president of the organization, announced that the action was necessary as most of the doctors and nurses had enlisted as members of the Barnes’ Hospital unit to go to the front. The 35 children at the farm have been brought to the city. This Diagram up to May 2nd SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 5, 1917. a — eee — ENTIRE.

The building will be open at 7 o'clock and for an hour there will be a patriotic concert, with band music and singing by school children. For the breakfast Monday at the Mis- souri Athletic Association the number cations for more than that number of seats have been received. Each of the visitors who does not speak English will be seated at the breakfast with a St. Louisan who speaks French. The principal speakers will be Vice Premier Viviani, whose ad- dress will be in French, and M. Hove- laque, Inspector-General of Public In- struction, who will speak in English. The first five members of the Commis- sion, in point of rank, will be quartered during their stay at the home of Breck- inridge Long, 5145 Lindell boulevard, by orders of Secretary of State Lansing.

The only thing eternal“ about love is its eternal change. The woman who holds a man’s love forever is the one who offers him neither devotion nor indifference but just a mild, tepid interest, which piques his vanity; appeals to his curiosity—and at the same time lulls all his fears of mixtrimonial designs. A hero is a man who can keep on forever telling a woman that he loves her without showing her how tired it makes him. A teary wife, a chilly wife or a stormy wife, like bad weather, invariably drives a man off in search of a sunnier feminine atmosphere. Marriage is the electric switch by which the light of happiness is turned on or off. ** — — RomAaNce }= And the Story of Its Origin * HE word Romantic loses almost all its meaning and value when it is used to characterize whole | periods of our literature,“ said Sir Walter Raleigh, of Oxford, in one of the lectures upon Romance delivered by him at Princeton University. “Nevertheless, the very name of Romance has wielde:l such a power in Human affairs, and has so habitually impressed the human imagination, that time is not misspent in exhibiting its historical bearings. These great vague words, invented to facilitate reference to whole centuries of human history Middle ages, Renalssance, Protestant Reformation, Revival of Romance—are very often invoked as if they were ‘pomething ultimate, as if the names themselves were a sufficient explana- tion of all that they include. ; e. an imperfect terminology is used to gain esteem for an artificial and plata conception of things which are „ © fluid.

From being rem- nantg and memories they became live models; Latin poetry was revived, and Italian poetry was disciplined by the ancient masters. “But the Renaissance, when it 9 reached the shores of England, so far ; i: from giving new life to the literature ty run clear again for a century. rt was a strong tributary to the stream it found there, at first degraded it. It - killed the splendid prose school of - Maltory and Berners, and prose did not of our national literature; but the popular usage, which assigns all that is good — the national literature of the seventeenth — | * to a mysterious event called the Re- naissance, is merely absurd. Modern scholars, if they are forced to find a beginning for modern litera- ture, would prefer to date it from the wonderful outburst of vernacular poetry in the latter part of the twelfth century, and, if they must name a birthplace, would claim attention for the court of King Henry II. In some of its aspects, the Roman- tic revival may be exhibited as a nat- ural consequence of the Renaissance. When the poets of France and En- gland, to name no others, had learned as much as they were able and willing to learn from the masters of Greece and Rome, the work of the Henaissance was done. By the middie of the eighteenth century there was no notable kind of Greek or Latin literature—historical, philosophical, poetical—epic, elegy, ode, satire—which had not worthy disciples and rivals in the literatures of France and England. Nothing remained to do but to go further afield and seek for new mas- ters These might easily have been found among the ppets and prophets of the East, and not a few notabie writers of the time began to forage in this direction. But the East was too remote and strange, and its languages were too lit- tle known, for this attempt to be car- ried far; the imitation of Persian and Chinese was practiced chiefly oy awy of fantasy and joke, “The study of the neglected and for- gotten matter of medieval times, on the other hand, was undertaken by serious scholars. The progress of the medieval influence reproduced very exactly tho successive phases of the classical Re- naissance. “At first there was study; and books like Sainte Palaye’s ‘Memoirs of Ancient Chivalry,’ and Paul Henri Mallet's ‘Northern Antiquities,’ enjoyed a Euro- pean reputation. Then followed the pe- riod of forgery and imitation, the age of Ossian and Chatterton, Horace Wal- pole and Bishop Percy. Lastly the poets enrolled themselves in the new school, and an original literature * ° was formed by Sir Walter Scott, Coleridge and Keats. It was the temper of the antiquary and the skeptic, in the age of Gibbon and Hume, that begot the Ro- mantic revival; and the rebellion of the younger age against the sprit of the eighteenth century was the rebellion of a child against its parents.“ } Custard and Fruit Mold. | CALD 1% pints milk, add sugar to taste, about 1-3 cup, and lemon peel (thin) to flavor, % ounce isinglass dissolved in the milk, 3 well- beaten eggs, added slowly while being | stirred, as soon as the milk is off the Stir until thick and strain. ger or other fruits and pour into a mold.

Bread is worth today one-half cent an ounce, and the total of daily waste of the bread would be in money about $15,750. Save the dried crumbs and make use of them.

The cost of this loaf at retail price of materials did not include fuel, and if fat had been used, the cost would have been reduced. In Experiment (2), the same rule was used, omitting the sugar and fat, and all water was used instead of one half milk. This loaf was to all intents and purposes like that of Experiment (), and cost $.04056. The bread of both ex- periments was coarser grained than the ordinary white bread, but that has its advantage from a digestive standpoint. Bread made in this way was found to keep well, made very good toast, and was certainly a way of making bread which was nourishing and good, and yet it presents one way of conserving wheat. Cornbread, or as some call it Johnnie cake, and the Southern spoon bread should be considered in the day’s menu. Rye flour and meal are almost as ex- pensive as wheat flour, so they cannot be reckoned with as substitutes. There is much food value Jost in the making of cereal breakfast foods. Min- eral matter is especially lost. The simple use of a coffee grinder and fireless cooker saves money, fuel, and food values. Look over very care- fully whole grains of wheat, corn or oats. Wash thoroughly and dry, then grind in a coffee mill. Cook them for the table as you would Any cereal. All cereals need much longer cooking over hot water than is’ generally allowed or given them. This home ground variety takes even longer. Cook them in a double boiler for at least three hours if a coal range is. used, otherwise in a fireless | cooker over night. More Kernels Are Needed in Flour From Mills. We are fortunate in having in this state a man who will grind to order corn, fine, medium, or coarse, and also Graham flour from the whole grain of wheat. If only the millers could give us more of the kernel wheat in flour, and at the same time we could educate ourselves to the use of thig flour in bread and appreciate the difference be- tween it and the whitest of flour, then indeed would we be getting ors food value from wheat. The same can be said of sien: if all rice used could be the brown rice and not the polished white article on the market, rice then would have value for something more than just starch. There is no vital necessity for buying breakfast cereals in packages. Many can be bought loose at a much less price per pound. Perfiaps one will be more certain of buying fresh loose cereals from a gro- cer who turns over his stock often, or in other words one who sells much and has constantly to buy a new supply. Corn in its many forma, grits, both coarse and fine, and hominy can be used ~* ce 4 LE AER RACE INES!

Bread is worth today % a cent an ounce, making a total loss of $15,750, The question now is how to use every piece, scrap, and crumb of bread. In the first place the bread can or jar mast be washed, scalded, and dried in the s at leach once a week, and never must bread be allowed to mould. Pieces which cannot be used for toast, should be made into puddings, croutons for soup, grated for scalloped dishes, or dried in a moderate oven, then ground in a meat grinder or rolled on a board with a rolling pin.. Sift them and place in a jar or can for future use. Many Uses May Be Made of Dried Crumbs. These dried crumbs have generally been used only for crumbling articles to be fried, but many more uses can be found. They can be used instead of flour in thickening soups, white, brown or tomato sauces. When once you have tried this, your taste for flour thickening will be spolled. he proportion of crumbs to the liquid used is greater than that of flour to the liquid. To get the same results use four tablespoons of crumbs to one cup of liquid. Dried crumbs can replace white flour in Boston brown bread, and even in white bread. When used in popovers the flavor is most acceptable. Rye bread crumbs can be used to very good advantage in making plum pudding. A prize was offered in St. Loujs for recipes giving directions and quantities for the best use of all forms of stale bread. This compilation is most inter- esting and instructive, and gives in- numerable ways of using fresh, stabio and dried bread. One often forgets that stale loaves of bread can be bought for less than fresh loaves. Try the experiment of buying one of these stale loaves, sprin- kle it with water, place between two pans or in a closed paper bag, and heat in the oven.

WASHINGTON, May 6.—Prevailing retail prices of anthracite coal are un- warranted and the supply for next sea- son is adequate, the Federal Trade Con- mission stated today in a preliminary report based on a partially completed investigation ordered by Congress last winter. The commission warns con- sumers against buying larger quantities of coal than usual this summer, saying there are symptoms now of such a buy- ing panic as that which enabled spec- ulators last winter to force prices above normal. No good reason exists, saye the report, that May prices should not be subject to the usual summer discount, but “if the public is again so deceived as to indulge in a scramble for coal, the favorable situation may be nullified” The commission is keeping in close touch with the anthracite situation ard promises to expose any unscrupulous wholesaler, jobber or retailer who seeks to mislead the public into belief that exorbitant prices are justifiable, or that there is any necessity to join in a fren: zied bidding to secure immediate deliv- ery for far future needs.“ “The United Mine Workers’ new wage scale which went into effect last week in- creases production cost between 24 and 30 cents a ton, and is a beneficial and steadying factor in the industry,” savs the commission. Leading operators’ prices at the mine for May provide for this wage increase and there is no jus- tification for a larger increase to be passed on to the consumer.” Prices for May at the mines are quoted at $3.61 a net ton for egg, $3.64 for stove and $3.93 for chestnut coal. Referring to evidence that speculators, by storing coal in cars, paying demur- rage or reconsigning it, tended to in- crease prices materially last winter, the commission's report recommends action by Congress or some authority to be fesignated by Congress on the follow: ing: “First, the elimination of the element of speculation and the charging of an exorbitant price, or the withholding from use of this necessity of life; and, second, the imperative need of keeping coal moving from point to point of pro- duction to its final destination, and of preventing coal cars from being held out of use for the purpose of speculative storage.“ When the report was presented in Congress Senator Hitchcock, author of the investigation resolution, declared it “shows the people have been robbed by speculators and consumers have contrib- uted to it by their panicky condition.” He expressed the hope that wide pub- licity would be given to the report from a governmental agency that there is abundandi of anthracite and no warrant for increasing prices.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau eof the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON. May §.—The Ways and Means Committee of the House has virtually given up its attempt to draft a taxation bill carrying the $1,800,000,000 requested by the Treasury Department. When the committee heard the fi- nance committee of the Senate had de- termined to hold restricted hearings. which will mean the bill may be entirely re-written, it was decided to put the measure before the House with but little change in the form adopted by the sub- committee. Work on the measure will be finished today or Sunday, and it will go to the House on Monday. It will contain some- thing like $1,600,000,000 in revenue provis- ions. The excess profits tax remains to be settled, as does the question of whether it will be advisable to levy consumption taxes. This will be taken up today after the mail rate jacrease is finally ad- justed. Representative Doremus of Michigan, appeared before the committe and said the automobile tax of five per cent was confiscatory, and would ruin many firms. It was finally moved to reduce the tax to 3 per cent, but the ‘motion was defeated by a wide margin. The tax, as it now stands, will levy 5 per cent on the price at which automo- biles are sold to the dealer. Nearly all the taxes are made to ap- ply from June 1, but the committee ex- pects the date will be changed to July 1. when it is seen that the bill cannot be passed by June 1. Ample provision is made for the dis- position of liquor and tobacco stocks already on hand. Bach dealer will be allowed a certain exemption and the wholesalers also will be allowed a slight exemption. Liquor and tobacco in the hands of he manufacturer will be taxed from the time of the passage of the bill, The 5-cent movies have been exempt- ed. „The committee finally has voted to put a 10 per cent stamp tax on all other forms of amusement tickets. It was decided to put in the bill pro- vision for stamp taxes on many miscel- laneous articles, such as cosmetics, per - fumery, face powders and toilet waters. A heavy tax on proprietary medicines, which will be applied later. The commit- tee is considering the patent rights on certain medicines, the patents of which are held in Germany. ' When it meets today the members will consider a proposal to make the 2- cents-a-pound rate on second-class mail apply to both the first and second Zones. ENTRY OF CHINA INTO WAR SAID TO BE INEVITABLE President Opposes Course, bat House of Representatives and Mili- tary Demand It. PEKIN, May 6. (Passed by Censor After Deletions.)—The entry of China into the war at an early date seems inevitable. President Li Yuan Hung and the Senate are opposed to such a step, but the House of Representatives, the premier and the conference of mili- tary governors are urging war. A dtesolution of parliament is threatened if parliament fails to de- clare a state of hostilities. Owing to the great power exercised by the military party, the Senate probably will yield to the war party. Hsu Ship Ying, minister of com- mtinications, has resigned. FRENCH WOMEN AROUSED OVER BARRING OF RICE FACE POWDER PARIS, May 6.—New regulations which prohibit the diversion of food- stuffe for other use than as rations are causing a tremendous stir among Paris- fennes, because they prevent the manu- facture of face powder from rice. French women face an epoch of shiny noses, since the importation uf luxuries is prohibited, and the existing stocas are slight. They have already started laying in supplies. As 4 result many shops are sold out and prices have been raised. It is estimated there are 2,000,000 wom- ren in France and 10 per cent use pow- der, averaging two grams daily. In 4,- 000,000 grame of face powder there are 6000 kilograms ef rice. « ration amounts to © grams, so the women of France have been wasting 100,000 rations of rice E HOW ST, LOUIS RANKS N ARMY REGRTING Fourth in Proportion to Popula- tion in Ten Largest Cities. St. Louis ranks fourth among the 10 largest cities of the country in the num- ber of recruits obtained for the regular army during April, in proportion to its population and the presgribed State quota, According to the figures of the War Department, Missouri was to furnish 6586 recruits. Figuring the population of St. Louis as about one-fifth of that of the whole State, the quota for this city would be 1317. Of this number the city has already provided 931, or approxi- mately 7 per cent of the total required. Only threeecities rank ahead of St. Loufs on the proportionate population quota basis, Chicago, Detroit and Pitts- burg. The first two have already en- listed more than 100 per cent of what was required of them. Pittsburg, with a quota of 1073, had up to May 1 enlist- ed 1039. By this time, no doubt, the bal- ance and more have come forward. The poorest showing of the 10 cities during April was made by Baltimore, where only 17 per cent of the quota was furnished. New York, with a quota of 9133, enlisted 1998, a percentage of 22, which is surprising in view of the great amount of war enthusiasm that has emanated from the metropolis. Boston and Philadelphia, the next two largest cities on the Atlantic seaboard, also make a poor showing, with 45 and 33 per cent, respectively. Cleveland and Buf- falo have each provided about half of the men required of them. ORDER ISSUED TO WIND UP CASUALTY COMPANY'S AFFAIRS New York Court Action Instigated by Board Because of Judgment Against It. > NEW YORK, May 6.—An order was granted in the Supreme Court late yes- terday directing Jesse S. Phillips, State Superintendent of Insurance, to take possession of the assets and property of the Casualty Company of America for the purpose of liquidating its business and winding up its affairs. The prem- lum income of the company for the first nine months of #916 was approximately $5,000,000. The Casualty Company of America was incorporated Sept. 23, 1903, and has been engaged in writing general casual- ty and surety lines. Its volume of busi- ness has been large, its premium income since 1912 having averaged more than $3,000,000 a year, Phillips said. The court action was instigated by the Board of Directors, Phillips said, be- cause of the fact that a judgment of $198,277 with in terest from Feb. 20, 1918. was entered against the company on April 26 last by the Suspuehanna Coal Co. A stay of execution on this judg- ment will expire next Monday. The assets of the Casualty Company are largely non-liquid, it was said, and could not readily be turned into cash for the purpose of procuring an undertak- ing to stay execution on appeal and to pay other claims which are now due or which soon will become payable.

POLICEMEN WHO DRINK TO EXCESS WILL LOSE POSITIONS Board Puts Ban on Intoxication After Three Patrolmen Are Found Guilty of Such Offense, There is no room on the police force for men who drink to excess. This was announced by the Board of Police Com- missioners after three patrolmen were found guilty of intoxication at yester- day afternoon's meeting. The first policeman “on the carpet“ yesterday for intoxication was fined $19, the second was fined $20 and the thira $0. Then the board adopted a verbal resolution that henceforth an absolute divorce from the job will be the lot of any member of the department found guilty of the charge. Twelve years ago a former Police Board adopted a similar policy. Some 16 or 20 patrolmen lost their positions and then intoxication became a rare vice on the police force. A succeeding board pursued a more lenlent policy and fined patrolmen a month’s salary for intoxication.

Corresposdenee of the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, April 8.—Sergt. Frederick William Palmer of the Royal Fusileers has been awarded the Victoria Cross and promoted to Second Lieutenant for most conspicuous bravery, control and determination. During the progress of certain opera- tions, all the officers of his company having been shot down, Sergt. Palmer assunted command and, having cut his way under point-blank machine gun fire, through the wire entanglements, rushed the German trench with six of his men, dislodged the machine gun which Had been hampering the British advance, and established a block. He then collected men detached from other regiments and held the barricade for nearly three hours against seven de- termined counter-attacks, under an in- cessant barrage of bombs and rifle gre- nades from his flank and front. During his temporary absence in search of more bombs an eighth counter- ettack was delivered by the enemy, who succeeded in driving in his party, and threatened the defences of the whole flank. At this critical moment, although he had been blown off his feet by a bomb and was greatly exhausted, he rallied his men, drove back the enemy, and maintained his position. “The very conspicuous bravery dis- played by this noncommissioned officer cannot be overstated, says the official order in the case, approved by the King, and his splendid determination and de- vction to duty undoubtedly averted what might have proved a serious disaster in this sector of the line.’’ LUXURY OF PRIVATE ART MUSEUM FOR FRENCH MISSION Breckenridge Long’s Uncempleted Gallery Being Put in Shape for Distinguished Visitors, Gen. Joffre, Minister Viviani and the other leading members of the French mission will enjoy the luxury of a priv- ate art museum while being entertained at the home of Breckenridge Long, at 5145 Lindell boulevard. The sumptuous museum adjoining the Long home was not to have been com- pleted in its interior arrangements for two months or more, but in accordance with a telegram from Long, Guy Study, the architect, has had a force of men at work since last Monday installling the lighting system and otherwise giv- ing the museum the semblance of com- pletion. Most of the pictures owned by Long are now in Boston, but paintings and tapestries have been borrowed from the St. Louis Art Museum for use during the short Visit of the distinguished Frenchmen. Joins Federal Reserve System. The Mississippi Valley Trust Co. yes- terday became a member of the rederal Reserve System, acquiring 3900 shares of stock of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, based on its $6,500,000 of cap- ital and surplus, as provided in the Fed- eral Reserve act. Application for admis- sion into the system was made at this time in the belief that in the tnification of the banking resources of the country through the Federa! Reserve System, the financial institutions of the country, in- dividually and collectively, could offer better and broader facilities in financing the requirements of the Government and the business interests of the country. HURT IN FALL DOWN STEPS Edward Sweeney, 50 years old, of Ken- wood Springs, a supervisor on the Ho- diamont branch of the United Railways, was found unconscious at 12:30 o' clock this morning at the bottom of a flight of steps leading to the basement at 6123 Easton avenue. He was taken to the city hospital, where it was said he had concussion of the brain and a possible fracture of the skull. The police say that Sweeney was af: flicted with rheumatism and that while in a crippled condition he fell down the steps. He had gone to the Easton avenue address to get a basket which had been left in the back yard for him. A — — — r rr YUCATAN is YUCATAN.

Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch, ROME, April 7,—Naval Lieut. Gius- seppe X. of the Italian forces is a smart naval gunner. In the hot days of last year’s “Frightful Expedition.“ when men went down like files in and around Monfalcone, when fighting was so fierce that Austriana and Italians butchered each other over the counter of the local shipping offices, he was up in the Dev- il’s Tower, just outside the city, direct- ing the Italian artillery fire and bear- ing, so the Austrians thought, a charmed life. The “frightfulness” was driven back; Cadorna’s troops took Gorizia: Autumn turned into winter, and Giuseppe found time hanging somewhat heavy on his hands. So he hatched the plan that forms the burden of my tale. One day he sought out his command- ing officer, who was writing reports in a wooden shack no bigger than a sleep- ing berth on an American railroad, but fairly safe from Austrian shelis. The commander, whose name may not be told, is a fatherly looking man, and he beamed upon Giuseppe. Good gunners are apt to be favorites in modern war- fare. Well, Gluseppe, what's the new?“ he asked. Plan Carried Out. I've got a plan for laying my hand on every spy now in Austrian pay in Italy.“ be answered. And he set forth his ideas. The commander was not very keen about the plan when he first heard it. He was loath to lose so good a gunner on such a dangerous errand. But Giuseppe is eloquent, and finally he per- suaded the older man to promise he would lay the plot before his own su- perior officers. Giuseppe's plot was ap- proved. Details were prepared with every pre- caution to ensure secrecy. And one day, after a bit of a scrap, Giuseppe was seen to walk toward the enemy’s trenches. “You'll get a taste from them,” cried one of his friends, thinking he was mad. “I’ve had enough of it,“ he shouted back, and walked on. Welcomed by Austrians. The Austrians also were watching the “deserter’’ with intense interest. At first they thought it was some joke. But when the Italians opened fire on Giu- Beppe they saw he was really trying to desert and they welcomed him warmly, Taken before the Austrian commander he talked quite freely of the ennui of trench life and his desire for change of air—and occupation. * “If you make it worth my while,”’ he remarked, I can give you some rather good information.“ Then he proceeded to tell the Austrians things about the Italian forces, the position of batteries and other matters which made the lis- teners’ hearts rejoice. The information seemed so good that they could not be- lieve it was true till they had verified the young gunner’s statements; and everything he told them proved to be correct enough. They were more than pleased. Many a long day had passed since they had culled any such informa- tion. He was allowed to remain with the General Staff, and they frequently referred to him when they wanted to worry the Italians. One day he went up to the commander. “I’ve told you all I know about the Isonzo front,“ he said. ‘‘But if you send me to Vienna I can tell your naval peo- ple things they might find useful,” ‘And to Vienna they sent him. He proved quite useful there, knowing a great deal about the Italian navy—far more than the Austrians guspected. And meanwhile he was learning a good dea) about both the Austrian army and the Austrian navy. Kapionage of Cleariag House. One day he went to the man in charge of a certain branch of the “Intelligence Department at the Ballplatz. “If you send me to Zurich and pay me well,” he said, 1 can put you iu communication with people in Italy who will be even more useful than I am.“ After some parley they let him go to Zurich to work under the Austrian Con- sul-General in that city. This once Swiss town has become about as Ger- man as Berlin, being the center of the German-Swiss and of thousands who took out papers of Swiss citizenship when war broke out. It is also the clearing house of the central Powers’ elaborate spying system and there are more spies, plots and countef plots theer than in any other European city, which is saying a good deal, Giuseppe was therefore attached“ to the Austrian consulate in Zurich. His work consisted of freating with new spies who were willing to work in Italy for the benefit of Germany and Austria. At first hia employers had him watched eafe, a barber's shop, to church or to haved so well that after a few weeks’ vigilance was relaxed. Wasted a Boergiar.

In this safe were the pa- pers connected with the men and wom- en who have been spying for Austria in Italy. For a long time Giuseppe tried to get those papers. But the officer kept them so carefully locked up and was 80 watchful with-the key that he could never find a chance. It was Sunday. Zurich was keeping the holiday with more noise than usual because it happened to be the last Sun- day before Lent and the city had a sort of carnival. The Austrian consulate was closed. A dentist who lived overhead thought he heard noises in the office below in the afternoon, but he put it down to the carnival jollifications, and thought no more about it: An Empty Safe. Monday morning, when the military officer entered hig office, a strange sight met his gaze. His safe gaped open, it was empty. Every scrap of paper he had put there and locked up so carefully on Saturday night was gone. Gone, too, were several thousand francs’ worth of bills with which he intended to pay some spies that day. He called in the Swiss police. They, too, were astounded, for they soon saw that the robbery had been committed in a way hitherto unknown in honest Switzerland, with tools and solvents used only by modern expert thieves. The outer doors of the office had been opened with false keys, though the Austrian Consul fondly thought them too intricate to copy. His first thought was for Giuseppe. They hunted for him at his hotel, his favorite barber’s, his favorite cafe. But in vain. That Sunday night, immedi- ately after the theft, he had crossed the Swiss frontier into Italy with a diplo- matic pouch containing the papers stolen from the safe. The haul has enabled the Italian po- lice to lay their hands on no less than 70 men and women who were spying here for Austria’s benefit. They are of all classes, high and low. Some are the Austrian wives of Italian civilians and officers; one keeps a sacred image shop, another is a journalist; others are civil servants employed on the frontier.

ROCHAMBEAU FIRED 12 SHOTS AT OBJECTS TAKEN FOR U-BOAT Stewards Assembled Passengers on Deck About Life Beats, but There Was No Excitement. .- PARIS, May 5.—The Gaulois publishes the statement of a passenger who ar- rived on the French line steamer Roch- arbeau that a shot was fired from that vessel on Sunday afternoon as a sus- picious streak of foam was observed in the Rochambeau’s ‘wake. The pas- senger stated that another shot was fired at an object observed about 800 yards distant from the Rochambeau on the starboard side, although the mist made it difficult to determine whether the object at which it was aimed was a submarine or a whale. In all 12 shots were fired. The stew- ards assembled the passengers on deck about the lifeboats, but there was no excitement, the paasengere remaining calm. The suspicious object finally disap- peared. FAULTY COMPLEXION CE Skin Diseases (acute and chroste). DR. A. S.

Form Branch of League and Sew for Sailors. Albert Bond Lambert, vice president of the St. Louis branch of the Navy League, addressing a meeting of several hundred men and women at the Wednesday Club auditorium last night said: “Sooner or later the German navy will be at our doors and we must bring our sea forces up to a degree of efficiency at which they can operate.” The meeting was called by the Navy Teague to stimulate recruiting and to interest St. Louisans in the efforts now being made to man the ships of the navy. Lambert said one-third of these ships are now tied up in port because of lack of men to operate them. As 9 teault X N last night's meeting a woman’s branch of the Navy League will be formed in St. Louis. Its members will sew and make jackets, mittens and mufflers for the sallors. Lieutenant-Commencer E. 5. Root, in- West, gave an :llustrated lecture on the history and development of the subma- rine and motion pictures of various naval activities were shown. Lambert in his speech predicted that if England is starved by Germany the United States will be left defenseless, becgauge Germany's navy is twice as large es ours. 150,000 Men Needed. He pointed out that recent news dis- patches have shown that Germany has can sink ships with aerial torpedoes. This dea, he said, was first conceived in the United States two years ago, but Germany was the first country to put it in operation. J. W. Stayton, Western representative of the Navy League, said there was an u it call for 160,000 volunteers for na- val ans he urged St. Louis wom- en to do their share in stimulating en- ligtment by urging young men to do their bit.“ He called attention to the fact that the draft will not apply to the navy, which must rely solely on the vol- untesr system in obtaining men. , ITALIANS TOLD VISIT OF “MISSION WILL PLEASE U. 8.

Chicago is here for six games in ’ five days, the double-dose probably being reserved for Sunday, although no official announcement has yet been made. So far this season the Browns have succeeded in winning two games out of seven from the Sox without having yet made satisfactory explana- tion.

Since April 24, when Jim Scott defeated Cleve- land, 1—0, the Sox have lost five out of seven games, releasing first place to the d Sox, who are humming along at a 700 pace or better.

The calling off of the Intercollegiate Athletic meet was made necessary by the belief that there will not be enough track and field stars left at the universities to make a meet possible. * * * Entire Teams Enlist. OR example, in one bunch 13 mem- bers of the Minnesota football squad were pindges to Uncle Sam. En- tire crews of astern schools have been wiped out. Track teams in some of the univer- sities are so shot, or will be, that dual meets have had to be canceled. Unknown and famous athletes are scurrying to the enlistment booth side by side. In some cases real sacrifices are being made, as with Harry Le- gore, the Yale star, who is said to have refused a $10,000 bonus and a bi contract with the Browns, in or- der to join the aviation corps. Almost every Eastern school and many Western institutions are vir- tually military training camps, at the present time. Over 200 Cornell men and 100 Princetonians, as well as numerous squads of men from Harvard, Brown and Williams are studying for the mosquito fleet at the Newport Na- val Training Station—1500 men in all. Captains, coaches, and graduates, too, fill the mail bags with applica- tions for the officers’ reserve corps. In short, a complete vindication of education and athletics as developers of high ideals, has been already in- dicated by the war’s developments. J * 8 95 Per Cent of Officers Are Collegians.

The remarkable feature of it all ia, that D5 out of every 100 En- gliish university athletes men- tioned in the casualty lists have been officers of the rank of sec~ ond lieutenant or better. This is taken to mean either that a vast majority of college men won of- ficers’ chevrons, or that a remarkable mortality among commissioned officers existed. + — * This much is certain: That the pick of America’s young men will be found among the first batch of recruits trained for Uncle Sam's new army: the class“ MERICANS have reason to feel proud of university undergraduates, particularly of the athletes, as to their attitude toward Uncle Sam in war time. As if by a preconcerted signal, collegians went in for military preparation and enlistment, which will send thousands of the flower of camps next summer. according to physical, mental and moral standards. The country can hardly offer better material than will make up the First 600,000.’ * * * “Big 9”’ 80 on to Be “Big 10.” | other times the Middle West would still be chattering over the probable return to the Big Nine confer- ence of the truant Michigan University. The Ann Arbor authorities have al- ready voted to this effect and there is practically no doubt that the insti- tutfon will be readmitted to the West- ern conference, from which it seceded about a decade ago. The next meeting of the Western Conference is set for June 9, At this gathering the Big Nine” will become the “Big Ten” It will be the second time the West- ern has had to change its nickname, the entrance of Ohio State, changing its former caption, “Big Eight.” Wolverines Were Just Tramps. ICHIGAN found the going very rough “outside the pale.“ Annual games with Pennsylvania, Cornell and Syracuse involved at least two long hauls and. many bruising battles—too many for the success of the eleven. Then, too, it had no championship out- look and was a sort of unattached tramp among the orbits of the vari- ous collegiate constellations. A defi- nite aid lends a lot of zest to any school's athletic struggles. This Is Worth Copying, Bo. Birr charity with golf has been solved by the New Tork Newspapermen’s Golf Association, in a scheme which promises to benefit the dependents of soldiers and sallors, and to improve greatly the carelessness of some players. The idea is to tax faults of play and impose penalties of cash; or use- ful articles will be received at a booth on the course of the organiza- tion. . This scheme is founded directly on misplays. For topped shots penalties are charged for each mistake. The loss of a match results in a cash impost, Thus, the player who starts on a round may find himself out the equivalent of several pounds of coffee or half a dozen cigars before he finishes. For more than three putts the club expects the | victim to contribute 5 cents; more than two is worth one cent: making a hole under par costs 6 cents. Making a hole in the turf—well, what's the equivalent of capital punishment, in money? The contribution 2 serve as an incentive to correct mistakes on the part of some golfers, for the penal- ties are strict enough to make cer- tu im that no member or guest who makes the round can escape without SOME contribution, CHICAGO, May 56.—George Sisler, the left-handed first baseman with St ‘Louis, is pressing Tris Speaker of Cleveland, the 1916 batting champion, for hitting honors in she American League, unofficial averages released today show.

C. bantamweight, and Young Sammy Sandow of Cincinnati, are scheduled to box 12 rounds tonight in the feature bout of the show to be staged at the South Broadway A. C. The contest should develop some in- teresting boxing as both boys are of the fighting type, 1 to mix it rather than stand off and box. Sandow has appeared in this city once before, that being in March, When he defeated Harry Kabakoff at the Future City in 12 rounds. In this contest Sandow sent Kabby to the mat with a.swing to the jaw but was unable to put him out. In his last contest, on April 20, Sandow knocked out Johnny Ritchie, one of the best boys in the bantam division, in seven rounds. Murphy fought his last contest at Oklahoma City on April 23, when he boxed Nate Jackson. Reports on the outcome of the battle varied, some Siving Jackson the decision and others calling it a draw.

It praised Denny for ‘‘clean’’ fight- ing.

fllt TO MAKE | NEW STATEMENT TO FIND TENANTS: ADVERTISE IN THESE COLUMNS—ST._ LOUIS’ BEST 1 “ON PEACE TERMS Copenhagen Dispatch Says Chancellor Will Make „Hainer Declaration.“ WEEKS WITHIN TWO Bitter een in Germany Among Factions Over An- nexation Question. = COPENHAGEN, May i.-—A plainer deciaration of Germany’s peace condi- tions will be made by Chancellor von “* Bethmann-Hollweg within a fortnight. * Soetalists. Dr. Karl cellor, announced yesterday that an an- swer would be made within this time by the Chancellor to the interpellations presented by the Conservatives and the The Chancellor’s decision to define Germany's aims was the result of pressure exerted from all sides. The silence of the Chancellor concern- ing Germany's peace terms, if, as de- Clared, is based on a desire to avoid dis- rupting the unity of feeling in the coun- try by discussion of contentious ques- tions and not, as some uncharitable Ger- man critics assert, on the absence of a definite Government peace policy, has troversy failed of its object. An acrimonious con- is now raging in Germany be- tween the big annexationists, the little annexationists and the advocates of na ' annexations and indemnities whatever. The Pan-Gerinan League has sent cir- * culars to its branches throughout the mere a.) — “v2 1 e ant ) * country asking them to organize meet- “ings everywhere in the interests of Ger- man peace amd against the Socialist peace program. The Conservatives have introduced an i: terpellation in the Reichstag in an en- dea vor to smoke out Von Bethmann- Hollweg and force hirh to declare him- self for or against the Scheldemann pro- gram. The radicals ‘have introduced a similar interpellation in the Prussian diet. Imperialistic Activity. The revival of the activity of the im- perialistic organizations of agriculture -and industry, who were responsible for the famous suppressed circular of the ’ six leagues with a sweeping annexation- ist program in 1915, is marked by the _ issue of a stiffly worded pronunciamento — from a long list of agricultural, indus- trial and even religious organizations. The Pan-German League and the army and navy leagues are demanding peace with indemnities, increased territories and greater power for Germany. : 7 +. ** 7 i «7. 41 The Socialists meetings, on the other hand, are making and strengthening public opinion for a peace with no in- ‘demnities and no annexations. The So- clallst leaders obviously are endeavoring to Sweep the Government and the Im- perial Chancellor into a declaration of 5 the German peace alms on similar lines n Which could be used at the Stock- “oe holm conference. —— — 4 > — * oA ay The moderate elements, who favor taking what can be gotten, are assailing Von Bethmann- -Hollweg for weak-kneed >. shrinking from trouble, and demand in tesolutions adopted by the Liberal party and in the editorials of such papers as the Vossiche Zeitung that the Chancellor now make a clear and def- _inite statement of policy as a step to- ward inner and outer peace. Conservation Interpellation. The conservative interpellation in tke Reichstag declares that the Soclalist . in 7 * — * . resolution for peace without. annexations ulld indemnities, together with the ab- dense of a definite announcement on the Imperial Chancellor's part, has evoked deep disquietude in wide circles of the German people because such a peace would be incompatible with Germany’s vital interests, and asks the Chancellor to state his attitude on the Socialist peace program. The last phrase clearly — 1 Shameful to all patriots. is @ play against the recent Socialist © assertions that they had won the Chan- cellor and the Government to their pro- gram. e pronunciamento of the imperialis- tie organizations declares that the So- clalist proposals are depressing and Germany, it says, needs and must have indemnities for her enormous sacrifices and to de- 1 telop economic, cultural and social life ‘(© after peace is declared. Germany must a) as ow wecure better protection for its frontiers, land for settlement and food production, the strenghtening of its naval position and the improved condition of its indus- tries by greater supplies of raw mate * rials. This in turn makes sure and. neo osgary armament for defense of the ta- therland.

The resolution was offered at the close of a speech by former United States Senator O’Gorman, by Richard F. Dalton, a young Long Island City lawyer. Chief Magistrate William McAdoo; chairman, refused to allow Dalton to read the resolution, and cries of Free speech! Gag rule! and other forms of disturbance started in all parts of the hall. Coroner Timothy F. Healy, one of those who arranged the meeting, charged the trouble to an organized effort on the part of German sympathizers to break up the meeting. BECKWITH PREDICTS BRIGHT FUTURE FOR ART MUSEUM New York Artist Here on Visit Says _ Proposed City Ald Should Make It Best in Country. Carrol Beckwith of New York, known as the dean of American portrait painters, is in St. Louis studying the collections of the St. Louis, art museum. He told a Post-Dispatch ‘reporter his belief that with the proposed municipal contributions to the art museum that the museum here would, in time, rival any in the land. Beckwith, who was born at Hannibal, Mo., was an intimate friend of Mark Twain in his later years. Beckwith crossed the ocean with Clements in 1892, spending a summer at the baths of Aix-l.es-Bains, France. He is: a’ member of the Na- tional Academy of New York and {s re- turning to that city after a winter in California. He received his education in Paris and has painted the portraits of numbers of prominent Americans. He is 45 years old. ARGENTINA ACCEPTS GERMANY REPLY AS TO SINKING OF SHIP Republic’s Claims Over Torpedoeing of Steamer Monte Protegido Will Be Allowed. BUENOS AIRES, May 5.—The Coun- cil of Ministers has examined into the reply of Germany concerning the sink- ing by a submarine of the Argentine Steamer Monte Protegido and has reached a decision that the controversy has been settled. The Foreign Minister has, cabled the Argentine Minister at Berlin to hand to the: tmpertal German Government the following note: * _. The Argentine, Government duly ap- preciates the attitude of the German Govérnment’ as stated—that the Ger- man Uovernment ‘recognizes the fair- ness. ef the Argentine Republic’s claims and will. give. satisfaction on all the points in controversy. Consequently the Argentine Government accepts the sat- isfaction given and reciprocates the ex- pression of friendly: feeling between the two countries. TURKEY REPORTED TO HAVE | SENT PEACE TERMS T0 U. S, Sultau, tt Is Said, Would Withdraw From War in Effort to. Keep Constantinople. LONDON, May 6.—Talaat Pasha, who has just arrived in Vienna from Ger. man headquarters, is quoted in an in- terview published here in a Vienna dis- patch, states that Turkey lately has communicated to President Wiison the full conditions upon which she will ac- cept peace, even separate peace. It is reported here that the Turks’ greatest fear is that Russia, supported by England and France, will insist on Constantinople as compensation. There. fore, Turkey is appealing to America. 14 ENLIST FROM BIBLE CLASS EVANSTON, In., May 6.—One class in the Sunday school of the First Presby- terlan Church here has furnished 14 men for enlistment in the national serv - ice, it was announced today. The men have entered the aviation, marine, offi- cers’ reserve and regular army branch- at a distance of 60 feet has been perfected by Dr. Guy Otis Brewster of Dover, N. J. Twice in two days Dr. Brewster, wearing his metal suit, per- mitted a man, armed with a Springfield .30, the regulation American army rifle, pepper him with shots at that distance, and so well did the suit ‘“‘stand up” to all claims that the armor was not even dented. Army and national guard of- ficers witnessed the tests and, as a re- sult of their favorable findings, the ar- mor may be worn by our soldiers in Europe's trenches, The upper photo- graph shows the tests under way and the lower gives a good idea of the ap- pearance of the armor.
