JEFFERSON CITY, May 11.—Go Gardner, in a formal] statement today deploring the action of Republican seekers after state patronage in cir- culating petitions to submit to a ref- erendum the inheritance tax law passed by the “ast Legislature—an action which threatens to prevent the State from borrowing $2,150,000 from St. Louis banks to pay the deficien- cies of the Major administration—an- nounced that he would use the full executive and legal powers of the State Government in an ceffort to block the referendum. The Governor announced he would ad- vise the Secretary of State to refuse to file the referendum petitions, on the ound that the inheritance tax law is éxempted from the operation of the ref- erendurm by a clause of the Constitution providin that emergency measures af- fecting the peace, health and safety of the State cannot be submitted to a vole of the people, Arguing that the«loan of more than $2,000,000 is required to enable the State to pay its debts and maintain its cred- 1t, the Governor pointed out that to sus. pend the operation of the inheritance tax law would deprive every State insti- tution of funds required for their main- tenarite, would deprive the public schools of $500,000 a year and woulg prevent the State from supporting the national guard¢ He contends these are emergencie? within the meaning of the Constitution, and that. the emergency can be declare‘ either by a section of the bill when passed or by the courts of the State. If the Secretary of State refuses to file the petitions those circulating them may apply to the courts for a writ of man- nus to compel him to file them. This 18 throw the whole question of the referendum into the court. The rfer- endum act never has been construed by the Missouri Supreme Court. Tlie Governor urged all loyal. Mis- sourians to refuse to sign the petitions, and asked that those who already had signed them write to the Secretary of State instructing him to withdraw thei: names. Threat of Extra Session. He. threatened to call an extra session of the Legislature if the referendum should be invoked against any of the revenue laws, to re-enact the laws, and to institute a legislative investigation of the circulation of the petitions. He saii such an investigation would disclose whether mcney had been used and wh» supplied it. | The Governor branded the men behind the circulation of the petitions as “a . handful of reactionaries acting from selfish motives, who are trying to tie the mente of the State.’’. Fan waa eee Announeemenst Made by st. Louis Clearing House Association. The St. Louis Clearing House yester- day announced that it would not make a loan of $2,150,000 to the State to meet the deficiencies of the Major administra- tion if petitions are filed submitting to a referendum the inheritance tax meas- ure or other revenue-producing measures passed by the last Legislature. Announcement was in a letter writ- ten to Gov: Gardner after Clearing House officials had learned that Repub- lican politicians were circulating peti- tions to submit the inheritance tax law to a referendum. The Constitution requires that to sus- pend a law under the referendum pe- titions signed by five per cent of the voters of at least two-thirds of the congressional districts of the State musi be filed with. the Secretary of State within 9 deys after the adjournment of the Legislature. This makes June 17 the last day for filing the petitions. Tf filed legalty the petitions will sus- pend «he ’aw automatically and no reve- nue can be collected under it unless 1: is approved by a majority of those voting on the proposition at the gen- Even " be made for the period between the passage of the bill by the Legislature band its approval by the voters. The Governor, before adibornsient | of the Legislature, personally — ob- tained from the Clearing House a promise “that the St. Louis banks would wurchase warrants issued for the deficiencies and carry them at 4 cent interest for 18 months. The e in effect was that the banks lend the State . more than 900. at «4 as ged cent. Over Form eof Warrant.

Guchkoff, provisional Min- ister of War and Navy, in a speech at *the ‘Duma yesterday at a celebration commemorating the first assembling of the Duma. His speech, as weil as ad- ‘@resses made by President Rodzianko of the Duma and Premier Lvoff, was re- ctived with applause. The War Minister said; “Unfortunately the first feeling of ra- @fant joy evoked by the revolution soon gave place to one of pain and anxiety.

(Copyright. 1917, by Press Pub, Co.) PETROGRAD, May 10.—The con- gresses now in session here have @ bearing on the political situation. First, delegates of the soldiers at the front are in convention. They are heckling the. Ministry of War and the high command of the army, accusing them of controlling the army as it was ruled under the old regime— ‘that is, é6f ‘using up reams ef paper} and producing no results.” This mili- tary convention™s summoning before it mang generals and all the@assist- ant ministers of war. ‘ The second congress, under the leadership of Bylehiviki, Lenine and Zioniviez, of whom the last two re- turned from exile in Switzerland by way of Germany, has created intense surprise by refusing, by a unani- mous. vote, to take part in the Social Democratic Congress in Stockholm on June 10. Yet at the same meeting these radicats condemned the Govern- ment and demanded its downfall. Bulshiviki, the most radical of So- cialists, plans for very /radical terms of peace, similar te those brought here by Borgjberg, Danish delegate to the Stockholm convention. Never- theless, Bulshiviki's congress refuses to receive Borgjberg. saying he was associated with Phillip Schiedemann and other German Socjalist® who have been won over by thé German Gov- ernment. Two other situations interlock. with these described. The right of citi- zens to have arms in their possesson, which the soldiers deputed from the front vehemently deny, is supported by Solokoff, a member of the Execu- tive Committee of the Council of Workmen and Soldiers. This question has a potential future, as the “red guards” (thé armed workmen) are tenaciously holding their weapons. There also is the food problem which, most likely, will cause @ pol- itical upset. The Pravisional Gov- ernment frankly ackn@wliedges it cannot inereage the food resources without stronger public support. This is significant, for those deter- mined to turn the Government into the hands of the proletariat could ask for no greater assistance than the Government's present inability te move foodstuffs to the cities.

WAR ARWYY BILL EXPECTED TO PASS CONGRESS QUICKLY Draft Registration Will Be Ordered Within Two Weeks After Measure Is Signed and Men Will Be Called Out m September. Imprisonment Is Penalty for Attempts to Evade the Law or for Aiding Anyone ‘o Escape Duty. Friends of Volunteer Provi- sion Will Try on Floor of Senate to Have It Put Back Into Bill. WASHINGTON, May 11.—Although it is generally beliewed that Congress will promptly approwe the conference report on the wae army selective draft bill, the Roosevelt division is- sue may again be revived in both Hougze and Senate. The Roosevelt volmnteer ;rovision, put into the bill by the Senate, was stricken out of the compromise Dill as finally drawn up by conferees of the House and Senatie. The fight to retain the provision will now be carried to the floor of the Senate, it is said by Republican champions. An effort in behalf of the Roosevelt plan was made in the House today by Representative Hulbert of New York. He Introdaced a bif]l proposing to amend the laws organizing the District of Co- lumbia militia so as tto authorize the President to raise and maintain by vol- untary enlistment four infantry divi- sions. Officers would be selected in the manner provided by law. There could be no enlistment in these additional forces of men Hable to draft under the selective conscription bill, and no such volunteer force could be accepted in any unit smaller than a diwision. The conference agreement was pre- sented to the House today and it was agreed to consider it tamorrow. Within a fortnight after President Wilson approves the bill, the War De- partment will set in motion vast ma- chinery for registration of those eligible for conscription. Men be- tween the ages of 21 and 30, inclu- sive, would be selectediunder the pro- visions of the new bill . Penalties for Draft Law Evasion. To dispose of any fear that county and city registration boards will ex- ercise favoritism in enrolling soldiers unmfer the selective draft act Gen. Crowder, Provost Marshal, has issued a statement declating such . practices would be virtually impossible because of the explicit terms in which the act is drawn. He warned registration of- ficials that favoritiam easily could be detected and would be punished with heavy penalties. “Every precaution,” says the state- ment, “will be taken to make it cer- tain that the registration will be con- ducted with exact justice. The law is epecific and allows no latitude to the boards, either in the matter of regis- hing ‘tration or in the later matter of ex- emption from service. In fact, the law is self-executive. Every man within the age limits fixed by the selective service act must register, and the penalty of the law for evasion of registration will fall not only on the man who fails to appear, but on any member of a registration board who may be shown to be in collusion with the person who attempts to escape his duty. “Further than this, the registration beards will never act as exemption boards, except in certain specific cases, such as where a young man who has registered shall claim.to be employed in a Federal, State or local o*fice, and thereby does come within the exemption clause of the statute, in a case like this the fact must te entered officially and attested. “So far as the other reasons for exemptions under the law are con- cerned, exemptions for men engaged in pursuits in which their work is more valuable at home than in the service, the authorit, will Ne with a Lreard of higher jurisdiction. “The law provide. the penalty of imprisonment with no alternative of a fine for any official or any regis- tered man who shall make a false re- turn or connive at such a practice. The safeguards against favoritism or evasion are ample.” Although there has been no direct authoritative expression from the White House regarding the Roosevelt volun- teer proposal, administration opposition to it has been inferred from the fact that no provision for volunteers was contained in the bill as sent to Congress from the War Department. Mearings on Exemptions. The section dealing with exemptions from draft was rewritten in part by the Conference Committee and provision was made for hearings in exemption applica- tions before local civil tribunals, with the right of appeal to a second tribune! and finally to the President. Two of the House conferees refused to sign the conference report. Representa- tive Anthony of Kansas would not ac- cept it because the Roosevelt amend- was stricken out. Representative + a of California would not agree to the prohibition amendment, contending that it reflected on the moral standards of the nation and that regulatory pro- visions should be left to the President. ‘The prohibition provision agreed to exclude liquor, beer and wines from any a post, but does not forbid sell- giving these beverages to soldiers wihten in uniform.

Exemptions from the selective draft are left virtually as originally suggest- ed by the general staff. Those abso- lutely exempt include officers of the United States and any state or territory, ministers, students of recognized divin- itv or theelogical schools, and members of ‘‘any well-recognized religious sect or organization at present organized’”’ whose “existing creed’’ forbids partici- pation in war. The last class are not exempt from noncombatant service. Others Who May Be Exempted.

The fight which is now developing, !n a manner which threatens the finances of the State, and which may leave the Gardner administration in a worse financial plight than the Major adminis- tration, was begun during the Legisla- ture in a scramble for jobs. Under the old ca@liateral inheritance tax law the State Auditor had the ap- pointment of attorneys on a fee basis in every county in the State to look after the collection of the tax. The new bill abolished this system and provided for attorneys in the larger cities. Republicans Demands Rejected. The Republican legislators demanded that the naming of the attorneys should remain with the State Auditor, who is a Republican, while the Democrats in- sisted that the Attorney-General, who is a Democrat, should name _ them. There being a Democratic majority in both houses of the Legislature, the power was given to the Attorney-Gen- eral. It is reported in political circles that Edward W. Forigtel, attorney for Audi- tor Hackman, is interested in having the petitions circulated. Foristel was to have been the inheritance tax attorney in St. Louis if the State Auditor had been permitted to name the-attorneys. The Taxpayers’ Protective Associa- tion, a small group dominated by Henry W. Kolkschneider, a brewer, is aiding in the circulation of petitions to refer the inheritance tax law, and ig circu- lating petitions to refer the law creat- ing a State Tax Commission, Kolk- schneider said hig league had the sup- port of a similar organization in Kan- sas city, and that its principal interest was in the tax commission law. Gov. Gardner attempted to rescue the State from a condition of virtual bank- ruptcy. There was not sufficient reve- nue in sight immediately to meet the deficiencies and at the same time pay the current expenses of government. The Governor caused the Legislature to pass several revenue-producing bills, which, when they should come into full operation, were expected to furnish about $4,500,000 each biennial period. As the returns from these measures would be small during the present year, the Governor figured that by obtaining a loan for 18 months to cover the deficien- cies there would be sufficient funds in the meantime to meet current expenses, and the increased revenue next year would be available to pay the loan. Clearing House Letter, The letter fro mthe Clearing House to the Governor was written by N. A. Mc- Millan, its president. He informed tha Governor that the Clearing House wo: not take any of the warrants until aft, er June 17. If at that time the p-titic-ns shall have been filed and the operation of the law suspended, the Clearing House finally will reject the proposed loan, McMillan wrote, but if the peti. tions shall not be filed, the loan will be made. McMillan pointed out that the action of the bankers would be the zane in respect to the suspension tin.ler the ,eferendum of any of the other re enue- producing measures. These are ineasures taxing incomes, soft drinks, capital and surplus of cor- porations, and creating a State tax com- mission to increase assessments and ferret out personal property which hae not been returned for taxation. a ANTI-KAMNIA (A-K) TABLETS.

St, Louis coal dealers have been noti- fied by Illinois mine operators that on next Monday the price of standard soft coal, delivered in the St. Louis yards, will be increased from $8 to $3.2 a ton. This means an increage to the consumer from $ to $4.25 a ton. Medium grade soft coal will register an increase from $42 to $4.50, but the highest grade will remain at $6 a ton. Edward Devoy, a wholesale dealer in the Equitable Building, declared that coke ‘“‘has simply soared out of sight, to prohibitive prices.’’ Coke that used to retail at $6.50 to $7.50 a ton is now $11.25 to $12 a ton. Only a few cars of anthracite coal are now arriving here each month, he said, and the price te consumers has advanced from $9.75 to $10.75 a ton. About 150,000 tons of anth- racite coal are used here each season. “The explanation given to the deal- ers,’’ said Devoy, ‘‘is that higher prices are being offered at the mines for all the coal they can get out. Much of the Pennsylvania and West Virginia coal] is going to ~ irope or South America. Moreover, the Government factories are running day and night, and the navy is demanding more Western coal than ever before. “The North and Northwest are buying unlimited quantities of coal from Mid- dle Western mines. “The second factor is a shortage of railroad cars, common to all industries, Because of this scarcity, the mines in this district are putting in on an aver- age only two and a half effective days a week. In addition, it is particularly difficult for the railroads to get back the cars sent to the North and North- west. The St. Louis dealers are paying high prices for coal, and their profits today are less than when the prices were low.’’ LEMONS GREATE } LOVELY, WHITE SKIN Use the juice of fresh lemons and mix with Orchard White to make a cheap lotion. An attractive skin wins admira- tion. In social life and in business the girl or woman whose face and hands show evidence of constant care enjoys a tremendous advantage over those who do not realize the value of a healthy skin and a spot- less complexion. At the cost of a small jar of ordi- nary cold cream one can prepare 4 full quarter pint of the most won- derful lemon skin bleach, skin softener and complexion beautifier, by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing th’ ee ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice threugh a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will xeep tresh for months. It really will bleach and remove such blem- ishes a8 pimples, freckles and tau and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier which absorbs readily and is not sticky or greasy. * Just try it! Get three ounces of rchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this daily to the face, neck, arms and hands. It really does soften, freshen, bleach anc bring out the roses and beauty of any skin.—ADV. | - ape . — a ee aed Telephone your want ad to the Post- Dispatch direct if you rent a phone.

The second roster of St. Louisans nom- inated to take the three months’ course of training at Fort Riley for commis- sious as Reserve Officers, Las been made public by Col. T. R. Kivers, com- meadant of the encampment. The num- ber is 143, which, with the 19 cames of the first list, issued Tuesday, makes this city’s contribution 341. its quota, based on population, was estimated at 216. According to dispatches from fort Riley, today’s list is the fina! selection of St. Louvisans for that camp. Ma). Goode,’ who was in charge of the exam- inations’ of applicants here, said today that he had no information on this point. ‘However,’ he said, “1 am confident that eventually every man who passed the tests will receive training, if not at a second camp at Fort Riley, then at some other camp, i! received.a long cir- cular letter from the War Department during April, in which the inference was clear that the department will utilize ali men who passed the examination and form training camps for them.” Examinations for Fort Riley were closed at 10 o'clock last night, on or- ders from the War Department. Dur- ing the day and evening about 300 men were examined and 245 accepted, mak- ing the total of those who passed tho tests here 1358. The total number of applications in St. Louis was more than 3000. A considerable number of the new list of men are expected to leave tomorrow afternoon on a specia) train, arriving at Fort Riley Sunday morning. The course of training will begin Monday. A notice sent out by Col. Rivers com- plains that the camp is overrun with men who never took the examinations or even made applications, and that others have arrived to enlist in the new ngineeer regiments, under the erroneous impression that these are to be organ- ized at Fort Riley. He repeats that no one should set out for the camp without a postcard notification signed by the Adjutant at Fort Riley, or else an order from the Central Chief of Engineers. Verbal or written notifications from recruiting officers or examining officers are not sufficient authority to gain entrance. First Contingent There. The first contingent of St. Louisans, to the number of 160, arrived at Fort Riley at 6 o’clock this morning. having left this city on a specia! train of eight cars at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon. They were guests at a reception in Mex- ico, Mo., where a stop was made for dinner. More than 1000 persons, including parents, sweethearts and _ friends, wave the candidates a rousing send- off at the Unfon Station, where the train was held half an hour after the starting time announced to give an opportunity for farewells. As the train started, the crowd mighty cheer. Some of the men were in uniforms, but many were not, having been un- able to procure uniforms here. Some wore a mixture of military and civil- fan attire. Former Adjutant-Genera! John B. O’Meara was present to bid good-by to his grandnephew, J.

Patrolman Isaac A. Kidwell was killed and Patrolman George 2. Geisler was wounded in a revolver fight last nignt with a negro in ‘a hallway at 1423 Clark avenue. The slayer was wounded, but escaped. The policemen were walking their beat at 8:45 o’clock and as they approached Fifteenth street and Clark avenue two negrves, who had been chatting with a negress, ran inte the street and boarded a street car. While the policemen were questioning the’ negress, one of the negroes, who had leit the street car, ran past them and entered the house at 1428 Clark. Kidwell ‘followed. When he reached the doorway the negro, who was about to ascend a flight of stairs, turned and be- gan firing. Kidwell returned the fire.” Four Bullets Hit Kidwell. Geisler ran to his partner's side and the negro ran up the steps, firing at the two policemen. Kidwell and Geisler emptied their revolvers. The negro fired eight or ten shots: He escaped by run- ning to a porch and jumping into Ilift- teenth street. Four of the negro’s bullets hit Kia- well. He was wounded in the abdomen, left shoulder and both legs. A _ buliet grazed Geisler’s abdomen, inflicting a flesh wound, Kidwell’s wife, although in fee.wle health as the result of a recent o tion, joined him at the city hospital! remained at his bedside-until almost 1 a. m., when he said he wished to sleep. Shwe left his cot and 4 few minutes later he died. ee, 4 Mrs. Kitwell was escorted to her home, 3662 Laclede avenue, by police- men. Geisler, after making a written report of the shooting, went to his home. Police Hunt for Suspect. An order was issued for the arrest of Adolph DL, Fuller, a one-eyed negro, 2 years old, of 1412 Spruce street. He and his wife disappeared last night. Wit- nesses told the police that the Fullers figured in a quarrel at Fifteenth and Clark a few minutes before the shoot- ing. A trail of red spots in the Clark avenue house convinced the police the negro was wounded. Kidwell, who was 41 years oid, had walked the Clark avenue beat for sev- era' years and was feared by the ne- groes. A year ago he was transferred because threats to kill him had been made, but he was sent back to the territory at his own request. He at- tracted attention about eight years "age by trapping a negro messenger who had kilied Mrs. Bridget Mullally, a white woman, in her home at Fifteenth and Market streets. Kidweil located the slayer in East St. Louis and iured him to this side of the river with a decoy telephone message. The negro was sentenced to life imprisonment. 13 YEAR OLD GIRL HELD ON SUSPICION OF KILLING CHUM Chicago Police Believe Shooting Was Over Love of Boy; Prisoner Says it Was Accident. CHICAGO, May 11.—Thirteen-year- old Dorris Anderson is held by the police on suspicion that she shot and killed Grace Hagerman, her school- girl chum, also 13 years old, over the love of a boy. Grace Hageman wags killed in the areaway of a house on the Northwest side late yesterday afternoon. She was shot in the back. Doris was the only one who saw the shooting and Grace died without recovering con- sciousness. Neightors ran to the scene and found the Anderson girl standing over the body of her wounéd- ed chum. She insisted that Grace shot herself. Discrepancies devel- oped in her story when under exam- ination by the police. She said that “TI was just pointing it at her and it off accidentally.” Later she retracted this statement, saying she made it while confused. Examination of the dead girf's clothing revealed no signs of powder marks. ‘Physicians also said it would have been impossible for the Hage- mann girl to hdid the revolver be- hind her in such a position as to de- liver the bullet in the direction tin which the missile entered the girl's body. The theory of the little girl's affee- tion for Rhine Fleck, a boy friend, is held by the police as a possible mo- tive. DR. STARKLOFF REAPPOINTED AS HEALTH COMMISSIONER) Director of Public Safety Schmoll, on taking office yesterday, succeeding Emil N.

Italy Will Make No Separate Yleace. “Never mind peace talk, or separate peace,”’ he replied, with considerable emotion. “Italy will not make a sepa- rate peace in any case. “We wish particularly to complete our national independence by joining with our Italian brothers of the Trentino and other districts in which Italian national- ity is in greatest preponderance. “As for food, our next harvest will be ready at the end of June, so we have only one month and a half to provide for.

Agents of his are said to have been buying July and September wheat as fast as they dis- posed of May Grain. The unusual situation in the wheat market ted several Board of Trade firms today to refuse new contracts for delivery of wheat in May. A smaller 'number applied the same restrictions to the July delivery. There are only 160,- 000 bushels of wheat in Chicago which can be delivered this month. May wheat was bid up 10 cents to $3.23 today, with little actual business. All grains have for some time been selling at prices without paraliel in American history.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I read an account -of the transfer of Officer James C. Neece and hope you will allow me to use some space in your valuable paper to say a few swords in regard to the difficulties of policemen. While I have met this officer, I am only slightly acquainted with him and am not writing this as a personal friend tut as one who loves justice. The article stated that he walked that beat for 16 years. That certaintly would indicate that he is an efficient officer. The article might also have stated that this was the first time he was called before the board. The Captain stated that his long service in that ncighborhood had ..ade him avtocratic and over’ earing. As near as I could get at the case of the trou- tle it seems the officer was charged. with using poor judgment in dealing with some 20 or more boys who were playing ball on an empty lot near the residence of an old lady who had complained of the noise. While we like to see boys playing ball we know of the noise made in playing the THREE GREAT WAR MEASURES. The incomprehensible thing about the agree- ment of the conference committee on the selec- tive draft bill is the delay on account of the Roosevelt army and the age for registration. One would think the Roosevelt scheme more important than raising a great trained army and that there was @ome vital question in the age limit for draft. Fortunately the debate. is over and the com- pleted bill is ready for a¢tion. It should be put through the two Houses, signed by the President and enforced at the earliest possible date. With the final adoption of the conscription bill || the United States will demonstrate that America, contrary to foolish German opinion, is a weighty factor. Three great mefsures have been adopted which prove conclusively the determination and the capacity of America,to count decisively for victory: The $7,000,000,000 war chest to finance our military needs and those of our allies. The 1000-ship program to supply ships lost through the submarine for the transportation of food and war supplies to our allies. The selective draft measure, which assures re- serves of trained soldiers to continue the war to a victorious conclusion. We have now a lively hope of supplying a de- vice which will wipe out the submarines, and’ the country is organizing its vast resources in farms, factories and men to produce food and munitions. It has been charged by the enemy that the entrance of America into the war was necessary to reinforce the waning strength of the European allies. Whether this is true or not, America’s en- trance makes yictory for democracy sure. We have the men, the mon¢y and the material: we have the genius and the will to win and we shall win. The defeat which the German autocracy has invited will reach the Kaiser. én = = = — a a PROGRESS AGAINST SUBMARIN ES. _ Gearded statements by Secretary Daniels and other navy officials as to the progress being made towards a solution of the submarine menace are none the less reassuring from the fact that pre- cautions are taken to prevent too much optimism. They indicate that if the remedy has not already been found it is near at hand. The public was inclined to discount the first announcement of Chairman Saunders of the Nava! Consulting Board. The feeling was general that, if the way had been discovered, military prudence would keep the fact secret. Anything like ade- quate information is still wanting, but the author- ities have lifted the veil enough to show they are convinced they.are on the right track. A mechanical contrivance by Elmer A. Sperry, inventor of the gyroscope compgss, is believed to figure importantly in the solution. Sperry’s own attainments are sufficient warrant that whatever he has suggested is worth while. All eyes, too, : known to the professional in every business which escape the.amateur. The desire to ¢ollect a bill is always laudable. But collecting bills through | literature is a difficult and troublesome matter at best and' ought to be attempted only by experts. = = RUINOUS POSTAL POLIOY. Don C. Seitz of the New York World offers a convincing argument against the new zone postal rates of the war tax bill when he points out that instead of increasing revenue they will reduce the revenue, because they will force publications to cease using postal facilities and turn to express and other meana of shipment. The rates proposed are prohibitive and will not only seriously injure the newspapers and other will reduce postal revenues. It is not wise to resort to postal increases to raise general revenue, hgcause Government postal facilities are the mediums of communication for all kinds of business. They are designed and en- larged to facilitate and encourage business. Asa rule low postal rates are more profitable than high postal rates, so that to lay heavy rates on postal matter is to check business, without compensat- ing returns for the Government. Why develop the parcels post for the convenience of rural communities and strike down the great business activities of the country, and especially curtail, hamper and destroy the press? There are vast resources to levy taxes upon without destruction of business. = = * Si mans in America for their attitude since the. dec- laration of war by the United States, aparently does not exchange with Die Amerika. 4». rr USE THE RIVER. The solution of the traffic problem is contained in the message which Secretary of War Baker sent by Brig.-Gen. Black to the business men of St. Louis and the Mississippi Valley: Don’t send a pound of freight. by rail that can be sent by river. The reason that the Mississippi now flows un- vexed by commerce to the Gulf is that for twenty years the business men of St. Louis and the valley have not sent one pound of freight by river that could be sent by rail. It cost more and took longer to ship by rail, but the mercantile mind was obsessed with the idea that the railroad was the last word in trans- portation and that up-to-date shippers could not afford to bother with such obsolete things as steamboats and barges. And they really thought that:the freight train was faster than the steam- boat. They thought so because everybody knows that a freight train can run faster than a steam- boat. But there are no sidetracks for steamboats and while freight cars lie on sidings the steam- boat keeps chugging along and, according to ex- perts, delivers freight four times as fast as the freight train. If the shippers send by water every pound of freight that can be sent that way, water carriers will multiply by leaps. Freight congestion will be relieved, the country’s peril will be met ang waterways and railways, correlated and co- operating, will Pr wanently solve the traffic problem. publications, driving many out of business, but | The Berlin Kreuz Zeitung, which assaiils Ger-j. | prgtal rabies, opiec om . éM “Vere ah ie i a + . as cured byer sage ing on crude petroleum: ano . “_ tea.

M, Williamson, Hilisbero: Fox ‘hunting used te be a great sport in this county, and there were several famous packs of fox hounds here. To an old fox hunter the bay of the hounds is the sweetest music in the world. I used te know an old fox hunter who lived up hear Witt who would go without his meals if his hounds got after a fox, for he loved to chase foxes more than he loved @ good metal of victuals. He had a fine pack of hounds and spent much of his time hunting foxes. I remember one winter they had a big revival at “Crazy” school house, and the fox hunter I am speaking of was one of the converts. He was very much in earnest and took an active part in the reylval services. One night I attended the revival, and they called upen the old fox hunter to pray. He launched out in a very earnest prayer. He prayed very loud and with much feeling. Right in the middle of his prayer the hounds went by the school house baying loudly. The old fox hunter stopped praying, cocked up his ear and cried out: “Amen! The hounds have jumped a fox,” and he sprang up from his knees, rushed out of doors and joined the hounds DEVOTO.—Write Sec. of Navy. P.—Civil service, 3d and. Olive THANK YOU.—No free plowing. T.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Just at present we are having what might be called a national seed-sowing campaign. For those of us who cannot serve at the front, food produc- tion and conservation cannot be too strongly em- phasized as a commendable way to show our American patriotism. Statistics are given us to show that the datly waste of a single ounce of food in each one of our homes would reach a loss of 1,300,000 pounds a day: In fact, everything is being done to educate the housewife to cultivate thrift and a-oild waste. But there are so many other modes of food con- servation which have not been touched on. Is th no way to prevent the waste of whole or- cnanae of applies and other fruits which have teen t up by commission firms and the fruit al- lowed to rot on the ground, in order that the sup- ply May,not become too great and prices thereby lowered? The fruit from these trees the rmer may not use himself or even give to a passing stranger. Now, witi: plenty of time ahead, it seems to me the Post-Dispatch could do a wonderful work to prevent the waste of fruits and vegetables, for ‘» @t a nation, with our tremendous energy are one producers but poor conservcrs. MRS. J. 0. WILKINSON. Apartment Dweller's Garden. + To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.’ During the past year the people of the country. especially those in large cities, suffered greatly on account of the high price of food. It has peen suggested in the daily press that all who can should have their own vegetable garden. Yresh vegetables at little expense appeals to the thrifty housekeeper and the added satisfaction of watch-. ing the growing plants will more than compensate for the labor expended. Why not broaden the field? If a food crisis seems possible, if not probable, why not utilize ali the ferces available to meet it? A plan. which I think would appeal to some of our citizens, especially those living in apartments or flats and who hartor the “back-to-the-land” idea, is: Rent a plot of ground near the city, put & competent man in charge, preferably a student or teacher of agriculture. Then organize city Gweliers who are willing to give some of their spare time to the cultivation of the soil. Make tever other provisions necessary to make the rk efficient. The physical benefit the city ks would get, the instructions given and the lowering of food prices to them would, I believe, be sufficient compensation for the labor and time ‘number of we get a half holiday on Sat- and we might spend-a few hours of it in to provide for our wants, thereby lessen- to some degree the demands made on the ble small crop. And further, it would help to — prirves to the ordinary consumer. % a. F,.6 A GOOD GERMAN LANGUAGE PAPER. In suspending publication of their paper, which has been printed in the German language since 1887, the editors of the Sedalia Journal said this by way of valedictory: Since the declaration of existence of a state of war between our country and Germany, the attitude of Americans of German birth has undergone a change, and they are the same true, loyal American citizens as though they had known no other land than the United States, no other flag than the Stars ‘and Stripes. The sound sense, patriotism, good taste and gen- eral tone of the utterance are respectfully com- mended to the careful consideration of a few other German-ldnguage editors who seem to have forgotten the United States as “our country,” they write of it in terms of “your country.” = = i i ee The, Fyankfurter Zeitung is right when it says that sinking of American merchant ships without warning is not a warlike act against the United States. The word “warlike” connotes something of courage and bravery, and the suggestion of a fair, stand-up fight. = = A GOOSE FEATHER. If a shoemaker should stick to hig last, it stands to reason that a teilor should stick to his goose. For failure to live up to this bit of homely phil- osophy, a St. LA@is tailor has got into trouble with the postal. authorities. He is doubtless a most excellent tailor and a man of some wit and determination as well. W hen one of his debtors went away to another city, neglecting the little formality of paying his bill before he did so, the versatile maker of clothes undertook to shame him into paying by resorting to the pen. There is no doubt that his letters were master- pieces in their way. The style was pithy and pointed. There was a certain literary flavor to it, witha], an epigrammatic pungency that would fmake the fortune of a professional advertising writer. Unfortunately, creative zeal got the mas- tery of the author and led him so near the danger zone in such matters legally established that he has indicted on a charge of violating the postal 1 tions. It is probable that this unfortunate man made a far better showing at the writer's trade than the general run of writers could make at the tailor’s trade. But that's the way things go. There are always a few matters af technique the submarine attacks, can Germany put into ex- ecution? She cannot send her navy into the open sea, nor transport an army to our shores. She is whging against us the only mode of -warfare she is waging against Great Britain, éx- cept on the Western front, where her soldiers are fighting British soldiers, sent to attack her armies. Germany will soon be resisting American soldiers. There is no merit in Germany’s restricting her warfare against us to U-boats, Lecause that is the only kind she can wage. The Germans would wage a different kind of war if her army and navy were free to move. In this case military necessity is ‘yerne the other way. = = * i i Any thin-skinned patriots who still believe there is a stigma attached to joining the army under the selective draft system are reminded that the navy is in need of several thousand men and that conscription does not apply to this branch of the service. —— — | a i i NOT PARSIMONY BUT WASTE. In urging women to practice effective thrift in their households, Secretary of Agriculture Hous- ton simply preaches the doctrine of food conser- vation as a national policy to be achieved through individual! effort. The time has not come, if it ever will, to make a fetish of parsimony. On the impulsé of the moment many persons might be led into thinking it a virtue to pare down expenses of living fur- ther than is wise. Indiscriminate economy, if carried out on a wide scale, would tend to disor- ganize industry, arrest the flow of trade and throw out of employment large numbers of workers, It would produce some of the worst effects of a panic, and all unnecessarily, through a miscon- ception of the needs of the situation. The world supply of certain staples is abnor- mally low for this season of the year; the @on- sumption is high because of the war. - The ob- vious course is to exercise foresight in husband- ing food resources, in view of the uncertainty of the future. It is not a campaign of money hoard- ing that Secretary Houston urges, but merely ra- tional economy through prudent use of food mate- rials and the elimination of needless waste. If his words of caution were misinterpreted it might be disastrous for the business of the country, Careful management in the kitthen should not be taken to mean miserliness elsewhere. = s _ @vuous noggin, did, With a couple of kings? =a me MORE FRIGHTFULNESS., From the Jersey County (Tll.)

As the Japanese language one which Western people do not, as a rule, include among their linguistic at- tainments, many importers of these beautiful embroideries have found it the wiser and better plan, in most cases, to employ some well-established com- mission firm in Kobe to act as agent for them.

LONDON, April 28.—A number of wounded Canadians and Americans who participated in the battles of the past fortnight on the western front have been brought back to British hospitals for treatment. Although the use of names is still forbidden, the American correspondents have been allowed to visit some of these men who are in hos- Ppitals near London. The number of wounded arriving in England has thus far been very much Smaller than has always been antici- pated when operations of this magni- tude were considered and therefore the task of dealing with that has been much earlier than was expected. Agreat spirit of confidence in victory pervades these men fresh from the trenches. This spigit is far more mani- fest than it was in the case of the wounded men brought back last year from the battle of the Somme... Their confidence is contagious, for it is no mere careless, haphazard confidence; it is a quiet, unassailable, indubitable spirit based on what they have seen be- hind the British lines as well as on what they have learned by going ‘‘over the top.”’ It is the confidence not of the casual observer but of the man who really knows. Believe in Allied Organization. These men are invartably satisfied that the allied armies possess greater strik- ing power than the German, that the or- ganization behind them is infinitely su- perior, and that man for man Germany can produce nothing to equal the lrench and British troops in morale, training, fighting efficiency and staying power. The popular conception of the returned warrior shows him pre-occupied exclu- sively with the conflict from which he has just emerged—the actual 4ighting. Some of the wounded men from Arras are like them. But others, and these, the great majority, are mentally quite remote from the matter of combat and bloodshed. Their minds are dominated by an odd, detached interest in some side line, somé external manifestation of the fighting, such as the marvelously effective organization of the supply and meuica!l departments, the color effect of the. bombardment or the star shells, some characteristic feature of some French village or some suddenly re- vealed angle of their enemies’ charac- ter. 4 e 7 "é ’ tests—thousands because the The Same Quality at the Same Price Everything is high in price and going still higher.

These screaming cries for help coming from all parts of the horizon made you think the whole world had gone mad.

From that ipolnt on the Ger- man shells fell behind us only and their gSunners showed extraordinarily wild and erratic gunnery. “Only for a few minutes at the start of the plunge were their machine guns really effective. We were all over them in the twinkling of an eye and every one of the men that manned those ‘Emma Gees’ were either dead or doing well—that is, a prisoner. “Like Sleeep Chasers.” “We went over the parapet at 5:30 a. m., like sleep chasers, and were up the ridge before we knew we had started. The Germans didn’t show much fight where I was. The first one I pinned was so astonished that he hardly got his bayonet up. As for the second one, I've seen month-old recruits put up a better show at high parry and low. Our men got plenty of evidence that they knew the right way to use a bayonet. “Of course a large part of the credit for the dazed condition of the Germans is due to our artillery. Their trenches were just a mess of craters. We walked right through to our company objective, which was their third line, and we cleaned it right up—not a German left standing. “We ought to have stopped right there and it was bad soldiering not to do so. But we could see Germans scuttling away from the far slope and orders or no orders our men simply broke away and hit it up for those retreating enemies for all they were worth. I was hit during this pursuit and crawled back up the slope to a dressing station.” “Perfect Organization.” A Canadian Sergeant who was a real estate man in an American Great Lake city before the war, expressed keen ad- miraticn for the technical side of tre British performance. “It ie a great push,”” he said, “and the reason of it, in my opinion, is that nothing was left to chance.

Louis in 1916 was 9.3 per cent lower than ii, the years from 191i to 1915, according to» Frederick L. Hoffman, statistician of the Prudential Insurance Co., writer of an article on *“The Tuberculosis Death Rate in 1916," published in the current issue of The Spectator, a New York weekly insurance journal. é From 1906 to 1910 the mortality rate in St. Louis from the disease was 177.9 per 10,000 of population. From 1911 {eo 1°15 it was 187.0. In 1916 it was 124.3. The average rate in 35 of the larger cities of the country is 146.8. The mortality, according to Hoffman. shows an almost continuous decline in the United States from 1906 to 196. ‘The statistical evidence,” he says, ‘‘is quite conclusive that the disease is gradual- ly on the decline, and there are no sub- stantial reasons why the decreage in the tuberculosis death rate should not con- tinue, although the complete elimination of the disease is, in all probability, a hopeless anticipation.”’ The decrease has been accomplished, he says, by associated action and the intelligent co-operation of governmental, ccrporate and other agencies, methods end means, aiming at the more or less cemplete control of the circumstances or conditions responsible for the spread of the disease and its pre-eminence as a cause of death in modern times. The number of institutions and organ- izations in the United States engaged in tuberculosis work has increased from 15¢ in 1995 to 2500 in 1916, and the num- ber of sanitoria and hospitals has in- creased from 100 poorly equipped and inadequately supported institutions in 1905 to 550 in 1916, while the number of special tuberculosis clinics and dispen- saries has increased from 2 to 460.

Boston and the Browns have material- ly bettered their positions. Washington ed and littke hope is held out for Griff’s men this season. Neither is Cleveland seriously considered, as the Indians have had their team up to full war, strength all spring. ‘But the Browns demand considera- tion ‘because they have been plugging a2l0Ong on two cylinders from the start.

Barry, are Sauploping, a pace that threatens to follow for the present at Barry has his team running ly as it ever did under Car- nd, stranger still, he has muceeeded in making a catcher out of Sam Agnew, who was regarded a to- tal loss, last season. Agnew Has Made Good. Agnew has been behind the bat in most of the games pitched by Dutch Leonard, giving the lie to the popu- Jar belief that only Carrigan could catch the famed southpaw success- fully. WLeonard and Ruth have been consistent winners, but whethcr they will stand up under the strain in the estern series remains to be seen. Indeed most of the strength in the American League this season, rests in the Western wing, and we will be better able to estimate Boston’s pen- nant possibilities after the first in- térsectional skirmish is over. . The Browns got away nicely in the in ral brush with the Eastern ere by nosing out the Athletics, -2—1, yesterday. The victory was doubly swéet because Dave Davenport went the route and pitched keenly in many tight places. It is essential that Davenport get and take his turn, this sea- son. He was virtually worthless the first three months of last year and that was one reason why the Browns ot away to such a rag-time start. Fi ever, if Long Dave is ready at this tender date he will be a bie help ne Jones, helping Fielder to forget “tthe fact that Carl Weilman jis num- bered among the missing. ‘BROWNS RELEASE BIGLER Manager Fielder Jones of the Browns announced today that Ivan Bieler, the young infielder, had been released to the Wichita club of the League under an option he 4 ia ak.

TONIGHT Over Finnish Challenger for ‘ Lightweight Mat Title. Jack Fisher, the Oklahoma lightweight wrestler, will enter his third title match in St. Louis tonight, at the Moose Club hall, where he is billed to oppose John- ny Makie, a native of Finland, itn a catch-as-catch-can match, best two falls in three. Makie, Fisher’s opponent tonight, is dangerous enough to appear a possible winner. This belief is based on his form as shown in matches with Owen Dailey and Billiter, both of whom he defeated over a year ago. Fisher and Dailey have wrestled twice, for a total of six hours, without either man being able to gain a fall from the other. Makie tossed Dailey twice in about one and one-half hours. Tonight's match is winner-take-all the gate receipts, $500 side wager, ringside weight 135 pounds. George Baptiste will referee the contest. Fisher’s local friends have made him a 10 to’8 favorite in the betting, a fact which the champion, deplores, as he says it is an even match, on the face of the returns. - — } .

Gunther Meier, and that the Captain had not reported the incident to officers of the First Regiment. Because Urges Baking Bread at Home.

Preferred is Net: Income Your income from Union Electric 7% preferred stock— if you buy any of the 5,000 $100 shares offered our customers. only at par—will be 7% NET. You'll have no taxes to pay on it, unless you are in the ¢ super-taxed class. This answers explanation: ® * Missouri law classifies corporation capital stock as personal property, out it is not assessed as such in the hands of share-holders. The Missouri Supreme’ Court has ruled that since the property represented by the stock certifi- cates ie taxed in the hands of the corporation, a tax on the certificates as personal property in the hands of their owners would be double taxation and therefore invalid. Dividends on this stock are net oabjoct to the present normal income tax in the bands of share-holders, because the Company pays the nor- mal income tax on ite act ca neluding these dividends. Existing law levies a super-tax en a question asked by several. Here's the incomes above §20,000 a year. For war revenue it is now proposed to start the super-tax on incomes over $5,000 a yaar. ' Others ask just how this stock is “preferred.” Holders of Unfon Electric 7% preferred are entitled to draw 7% yearly dividends on their steck, out of the Company’s net earnings, before any dividend can be paid on the common stock. In ease the Company should be dissolved, they are entitled to get $100 per share out of the pro eceds, before anything can be paid to holders of common stock. While the $500,000 allotment lasts, any customer of Union Electric can buy any number of shares, up to 20, at the Company’s sales offices. The price is $100 a share for cash, $102 a share on the 10-payment monthly installment plan. Visit, write or telephone any ‘of our sales offices. — - Better do. it today, or you may be too late. With only $500,000 offered the first three days’ sales were: Monday, $43,300 Tuesday, $47,300; Wednesday, $54,200—total for three days, $144,800. Number of buyers, 155.
