WASHINGTON, May 12.—By a vote of 215 to 178, the House today, after Stormy detate, voted to instruct its conferees on the army bill to restore the Senate amendment which would permit Col. Roosevelt to lead a di- viston to France. The House *vote had nificance indicating that the hard foughs amendment will stay inw 4 bill because it directed the conrer iJ @0 accept the provision exactly as voted in by the Senate, where it car- ried by a heavy majority. Does Not Direct Acceptance. However, the amendmen® does not direct the President to accept the div- ision; it merely authorizes him to do so. All the weight of the President's expert advices is against it. The lan- guage of the amendment follows: “The President is further authorized to raise and maintain by voluntary enlist- ment, to organize and equip not to ex- ceed four infantry divisions, the officers of which shall be selected in the manner provided by paragraph 2 of section 1 of this act; provided, that the organi- zation of said force shall be the same as that of the corresponding organization of the regular army and provided further that no such volunteer force shall be accepted in any unit smaller than a division.’’ . Amid applause from both sides, Rep- resentative Gallivan, Democrat, of Mas- sachusetts chided his colleagues for fail- ure th} show the same patriotism as he said Col. Roosevelt had. Despite the Colonel's request to his friends not to delay passage of the act, Representative Anthony, leading the debate on the R®t®publican side moved to recommit ‘the bill to the Conference Committee with instruc- tions to reinsert the Roosevelt amend- ment. Two hours of debate on that proposal were agreed upon. Chair- man Dent of the Military Committee objected to any change in the con- a double sig- volunteer amendments, “We went into that conference in- structed not to insert the Roosevelt amendment by a House vote of 170 to 106 and we stood by our instructions,” said Chairman Dent. “I can’t under- stand how men who voted against the volunteer system in the House can turn around and advocate the svstem for some special person. If byou make an exception you are g0- ing against your declarations.” In eliminating the Roosevelt amendment the conferees, he said, had carried out the expréssed declar- ation of both houses of Congress. Representative Anthony declared that it would be impossible to meet the request for troops immediately, which he believed Marshal Joffre had made of the War Department, unless resort was had “to the services of the 100,000 patriotic Americans who are ready to enlist under the banner of the one great American competent to lead such an army.” “Joffre,” he said, “has told the War Department—and we know it to be a fact despite the expurgation of his statements—that a foree of vol- unteers’ could be raised here and with one or two months’ training in this country could be sent abroad and that after four months of training in Europe they could be sent into the trenches.” “American People Favor It.” Representative Sherley, interrupt- ing, declared that Marshal Joffre had fold him trained troops should be sent. “Is the General the Roosevelt asked. “1 do not know as to that, but | do know the American people favor it,” replied Anthony. He added that Col. Roosevelt was the one man for the command of such a division and drew laughter and jeers from the Demo- sponsored in favor of he Staff amendment?’ ference livin’ ted ret sere he originally ee ee oe nd 84, 900 IN ST.

The sttuation differed from a corner in that the told-j;! ors were scattered, whereas in a muanip- ulated corner the supply is congested in the hands of an individual, or . grup of speculators acting as one man. .A& a matter of fact the allied Governments through thelr Food, Commissioners, had a national corner.

This Government wanted a %0,000- bushel cargo of wheat and sought to buy it ‘over the eounter.’’ The counter, however, was bare and as an alterna- tive 300,000 bushels of May wheat was bought around $3, with the intention of insisting on delivery of the actual grain. The contract aloné called for 81,00 bush- ele more than there are in public eleva- tors. Thus the agents of this Govérn- ment, had not the board stepped in, might have insisted on any settlement price with the sellers that it wished on May 31, the last day for delivery.

He related some recent féalts of gallantry and resource on the part of our patrols, which had accounted for German submarines, He expressed 4 wish that he could publish every one of them, and explained the reasons why in the higher interests of- the war it was desirable to refrain. ‘We described the vast area over which the operations of the navy were daily and kourly carried on, and asked that trifling incidents should be criti- cised with a true sense of their per- spective. He gave information about activity and ability in organization of the anti-submarine warfare, the co-op- eration of the naval air service with coast patrols and attention being given to mercantile ship building. “The tonnage losses of the aliies and neutrals fot each of the last’ three months were given to the House.

Albert T. ‘Perkins, chairman of the Misso€ri, District of the Military Train- ing Camps’ Association, had received nw reply this morning to a telegram sent f 24 flours before to Col. T. R. Rivers, commandgnt of the camp at Fort Riley, asking if a third list of St. Louisans would be called. Tt was announced last night’ at Fort Riley that all of the Missouri assign- ments to the training camp have been completed. The telegram sent by Per- kins read: Pasa “Kindly wire if third list of men will be called. Considerable number of ‘men over 30 years old, with excellent experi- ence, whom we urged to apply on ordérs from Chicago headquarters to get more matured men, are’ not on lists. it is important te notify them at once wheth- er they should resume bugfness affairs, which they have been closing up at great sacrifice.”’ ‘T had been asked,’’ Perkins explained to a Post-Dispatch reporter, ‘‘to wage a campaign in the State to get mature men to join the Officers’ Reserve Corps. Many patriotic men arranged to give up their business to attend camp. When the lists were given out at Fort Riley their names were ignored for much younger men. I hope that the men ig- nored by Col. Rivers will get a chance at a second camp.” Many disappointed applicants have called Maj. Goode here to ask why they were mot selected, although they Had college education and military ex- perience, some of them having taken the training course last year at Platts- burg. Maj. Goode could give no explana- tion, but held out hope that a second camp might be organized.

Most of the contingent from Washing- ton University were put into’ the Fourth Company, which will be Known as the “University Company.’ The men were required to unload their own trunks from the baggage cars and: get them to their appointed quarters as best they could, The first meal was Served at noon, consisting of beef, imashed potatoes, gravy, cornbread, coffee and rice pud- ding. Supper@was the same except that prunes were substituted for the pudding. Thus far there have been no drills. These are expected to begin Tuesday. Second Contingent Due. The St. Touls boys are eagerly await- ing the arrival of their second contin- gent, which will be here Sunday after- noon. A bulletin of general regulations signed by Col. Tyree R, Rivers, commandant, which is posted near the main door of all barracks, gives the daily program of the camp as far as it has been devel- oped. It is: 6:30, reveille: 6:30, break- fast; 12 o'clock, dinner; sundown, re- treat; 10 o'clock, taps. Aside from making their own beds and caring for their squad rooms, all ofsthe work of the students will be either in the field or classrooms. One hundred cooks and waiters were ‘ ” 7 brought from Kansas City to augment the force of #@ men adapted to that work found at thé post By Col. Rivers. That will relieve the candidates for commissions ef practically every re- sponsibility except that of learning to lead soldiers, a. 1650 Now in Camp. Six hundred and forty-one men reached Fort Riley yesterday, making a total in camp 1050. Another 600 men are expectéd today. ; The general regulations forbids any one to have spirituous: or malt liquors in his possession; forbids gambling and further says: “Students must remember that they are being trained to be. of- ficers in a part of the first troops raised for the defense of the principles of our Government. The time is short, and the task is difficult for all.

She had denied that her first vote against the declaration of a state of war with Germany was accompanied by the tears, sobs and fainting which were attributed to her. On the other - hand newspaper men who witnessed her | war vote still assert that it was accom- ‘panied by all the hysterical phenomena \which they described at the time. ' I shall not attempt to determine just how Miss Rankin cast that first mem- erable ballot. All I know is that when 1 heard her vote she voted like a lion, as I told her later on, when I urged ner to make some explanation to the pountiy. ? e Miss Rankin’s Attitade. I told Miss Rankin that the enemies woman suffrage are making capital pe of the incident in which she figured and that she owed it to suffragists, par- ticularly in New York, where we have a big fight on our hands, to explain or to deny those tears and sobs. But. she looked at me smilingly and shook her head. She must keep ott of the news- papers, she said. She wants the men in Cc to get used to seeing her there and not to feel that she seeks undue prominence by rushing into print all course Miss Rankin is mistaken in at attitude. For she placed herself unpopularly before the public by the melodramatic manner of those gasping words: “I want to stand by: my country, but I cannot vote for war.” Too much has been made of this vote, } be sure. Much nonsense has been Aritten and talked about it. It was the s of one woman and should be tak- ska as sUch. The women of the whole “Sountry are nv» more to be judged by the Lady from Montana, Miss Rankin, than the men of the whole country are to be judged by the speech of the gen- —tleman from Illinois, Mr. William Ma- vari repeatediy that it was the men “an well as the women who elected her. - wa LR : _ 4 pea beautiful. ; ‘#0n. ~ There is.no more reason, no. more ty, for every woman repudiating Rankin’s mistaken pacifism than - for’ every man repudiating Mr. Mason's cena on President Wilson.

And in this con- it must be remembered that | Rankin is a Congresswoman at that she was elected not by the ¥ote of @ single district but of a whole a State which has 150 men to 100 women, and she herself has TP can believe this the more readily, I Miss Rankin is a type of wom- } far more generally pleasing to men I do not mean that allure, deceuse she is extreme- » and her face, save for very but mot very deep blue eyes, It is mobile, hardly | 8 om and turns toward a brother Sa oad addresses a remark to her Woman Mem-!

There can be no doubt that her broth- ers in Congress think Miss Rankin at- tractive. Years ago, when I was a little girl and read novels in which the heroine Was surrounded at her first ball by a horde of madly eager men who almost fought each other to write their names on her dance card, I decided that was what I wanted to happen to me when I grew up. It never did happen. T never saw it happen to any other wom- an in» a ballroom either. But it is happening in the Hall of Congress every day to Miss Jeannette Rankin. When one of her 434 confreres vacates a seat by her side, there is always another gallant member to fill it, and somie- times you can see Miss Rankin talkirg with half a dozen Congressmen at once. You do not have to search very far for the reason. For Miss Rankin typi- fies in her slender figure, her simple soft black dress, her turnover white collar, the kind of woman who seems to the unsophisticated male the finest flower of gentility. She is the average man’s ideal of everything a lady should be. The men of Montana voted for Jean- nette Rankin for the same reason the | cowboys in Bret Harte stories always fell in love with the ‘“sehoolmarm.,” The women voted for her for the same reason that they subscribe to the Ladies’ Home Journal. Now, this cult of the “lady,”’ by men, has always seemed to be a rather pathetic thing, for because of it great minds are held in leash hy little ones and men of brilliancy and power bow the knee to small female souls decked out with a few parlor tricks and accomplishments, A Woman of Scruples. Miss Rankin may have brains tucked away under her carefully waved brown hair. She may have power and elo- quence, strength and fire. I don’t know In quite a long private conversation which we had after her vote on: Apri! 27 she proved to me merely that she is a very pleasing woman, very anxious to please. She is spirited and conscien- tious. I should. say that she has per- haps more scruples than ideas. But however this may be, Montana elected her to Congress and the mén of Con- gress flock about her chair because the Lady from Montana IS a lady. Is she a’ woman? {Is she an intelli- gence? Is she a force? The future will furnish its own an- swers to those questions. -And what Ir think about them does not matter. ——_— eee _ —— et ‘ Betsy Ross and Our Flag .°. Z otf ETSY ROSS sat sewing ina little upholstery shop at what is now 229 Arch street, Philadelphia. It was the summer of 1776. She looked up and suw three gentlemen enter. They were George Washington, Commander in Chief of the American Army; Rot- ert Morris ot the Continental Congress, and Col. George Ross: of the American forces. : “Can you make a “flag, asked Gen. Washington. Mrs. Ross replied that she Mmever hac attempted such work, but was willirg to trv. One of the three men producec the rough design of a flag having 13 stripes and 13 stars in the upper left hand corner. The stars had six points and were to be set in white upon a bive ground. Mrs, Ross examined the design and remarked that the stars would have a better proporiion if made with five points. Her callers agreed. but suggest- ed thet it would be more difficult to mare a iive-pointed star. Reaching into her work basket, Ross brovght forth a pair of sciss-rs and found a bit of white cloth. This she folded and cut into a star of five points. Her callers complimented her skill and voted for the new star A few davs later they returned and viewed the result of her handiwork, a files with 13 aiternate’red and white stripes and 1} stars arranged in a circle. Oid Glory had been born. According to some aceounts the stars were set in five rows, the first ‘having three stars, the second two and so on through five rows. evidence inclines to the circle, and it is certain that this design was soon in gen- eral use. Other early American flags also continued to fly above the growing Revolutionary forces. The navy inclined to a flag having simply 13 red and white stripes. In some cases the maritime colors would appear to have been white and yellow, or black and yellow. An old B madame?’ | print from a magazine of that time shows the famous engagement fought Sept. 3, 177%, between the British ship Serapis and the American man-of-war Bonhomme Richard, with a flag of 18 stripes fiying from the Richard. Some accounts would ma«e this flag one with the stars and stripes combined. By .egrees the banner of Betsy ..oss was coming to be the universal symbol of liberty in America. On June 14 1777, Congress voted the following historic resolution: “Resoived-—-That the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white, that the Union be 13 stars, white i a blue field, representing a new con- Mrs." But the weight of stellation.”’ June 14 has been adopted as a national flag day and is now celebrated throughe- out the counttry. There has been a good deal of discus- sion as to when the Stars and Stripes first saw actual service. One account places this event at Fort Stanwix on Aug. 8, 1777, where the new colors are said to have been run up after the Brit- ish defeat in the battle of Oriskany. It is certain that the flag was carried at Brandywine the eleventh day of Sep- tember. Thereafter -. was unfurled upon many a Revolutionary battlefield and became the raliying point for the forces of liberty.

Before modern methods of marketing, storing and. preserving made it possible to have vegetables throughout the year, these plants were eagerly sought for by housekeepers to furnish relief from the monotonous win- ter fare. Even now they will form a welcome change, and, above all, they may ha had for the trouble fof picking, as sub- stitutes for purchased greens. Foremost’ among these plants is the dandelion, says a bulletin of the United States Department cf Agriculture. Its use as a vegetable is so common that it is sold in many city markets. Occa- sionally it is cultivated by market gar- deners, but much more frequentiy the plants sold are wild ones and ought cost less than cultivated greens. W someone in the family can dig sae near home, there can be no doubt as to the economy of using them. If they are taken from the lawn, there is the further advantage of removing @ troublesome weed—providing always that the digging is carefully done. Only the dandelion should be pulled, not the grass around it, and the root should be removed, not proken off at the top, else several crowns of leaves may grow in the place of one. As in most stem and leaf vegetables, the texture and flavor are both best when the plants are young. Growing as they do, close to the sur- face of-the ground, dandelion greens are likely to be full of earth and grit, and must be carefully washed and rinsed in several waters. .The water in which they have just been rinsed should never be poured out of the pan over the greens, but the greens should be lifted out of the water so that the dirt which has settled to the bottom may not get back gn he leaves, and for the same reason the cooked ‘‘greens’’ should be lifted out of the water in which they are boiled. The most common way of using dande- lions is as a potherb or greens. As with most green vegetables, it is a mistake to cook them more than is needed to make them tender. If they are boiled with % teaspoon (level) of cooking soda to each quart of greens used, they will keep their color better. Young dandelions may also be used uncooked as salad, a.custom less common in this country than in Europe, where the tender plants are sometimes blanched like asparagus. If more dande- lions are available than can be used while they are fresh, they may be pre- served for future use.

Studies in Summer Home Interiors | ) T this time of year the merchants A of the large department stores in St. Louis are vying with each other in their disp!ays of model summer homes. One such display in the East exhibits a model cottage, beginning with the dainty pergola entrance, hav- rambler rose running over its vide arms, displaying in minute detatl he appointments of each room in the house, even to the rustic out-of-doors lounge, overlooking the ocean. The morning room ig effective, with its red brick walls and white enamel woodwerk. The windows are covered with closely fitting net inner curtains; over these, in panel arrangement are salmon-colored cotton voile draperies. The furniture is mahogany, with Chip- pendale legs and backs, upholstered in rose pattern cretonne, like the design in the border of the furniture. Upon the floor igs a golden brown rug, with a Chinese pattern in blue and salmon. Over the double doors, opening frorm this room into the living room, are rose pattern cretonne, draperies. The room is in rose, lavender and brown. The walls are an indistinguisnable mixture of all three tones. The furniture ts Iwc tone gray wicker, upholstered in mul- berry and black. The carpet is drab. Over the large window, in the middie of the long wall opposite the’ breakfast room, is a lambrequin of deep rose vel- our, with side draperies of the same. Bencath these, in three pane!ls, sides at middle, are pink silk curtains, so caught near the bottom as to give the effect of urns. Just above them, between the lower sash and the arch of the window, is the rose pattern cretonne, giving the effect of two urns piled high with flowers. The effect is simply produced, yet moxt artistic in its appeal] to the feeling of joy which the riot of flowers gives. Leading from this another daring, yet harmonious, combination of colors. The furniture and trimmings of the wouod- work are a greenish brown, teuched tp with a lighter shade. The carpet is an art square plush of deep blue, grading into a two-tone lighter shade border: The walls are gray, and the draperies turquoise blue rajah on Japanese poles, with cords; the hems are stitched with gold silk. Leading out of this room is a lounging porch, cozily furnished wit two-tone gray wicker chairs, table and window boxes, the chairs upholstered tn blue and rose cretonne, with blue nuns’ veiling over the cream net pane curtains. The foundation of the porch is brick. sealed with white ename! woodwork. These are striking contrasts, yet, as ‘one wanders from one part of the bun- galow to the other, the various partes connected by little passages, there is no jarring note—that is, after getting ac- customed to the unusual combinations. It is a unity of color, emphasizing , brightness and joy. From the dining room one is conduct- ed through a soft grayish little passage into a rose and green bedroom. Every- thing here has the conventional! meda!- lion patiern; that is, in draperies, carpet and upholstery. The carpet is a rose } sround velvet, with medallions of green garlands. The same pattern is carried out in the cretonne of the draperies over the doors and windows, with inner cur- tains of green silk. The beds are covered with lace spreads, having a filet pattern: over green silk. The mahogany furniture carries out the rather dignified effect of the heavy draperies and conventional pattern. Through a sort of outside hallway, or alcove, which might be used as sun par- lor or lounge, done in corn color and black-striped cretonne, one comes sud- denly tnto a veritable : poeesy garden of At first, the large bouquets of azeleas moon flowers, columbine, deep pir.& roses and a few sprays of wistaria in the paper are ali the eye can take in. Then one notices the rainbow silk cur- tains of dainty stripes of blue. pink, lav- ender and green, e0 draped 4s:\to ‘give the effect of ripples of color flowing gracefully across the top and down the sides. The furniture is in plain yellow, as is also the rug and the silk beneath the lace bedspreads. It is interesting to watch the effect of this room upon the Various people who come into it. Ali are startled at first, but the general er- fect is that of joy and brightness. One feels as if in a bower of flowers and growing things, for the colors are ricn and beautifully blended. It ig a daring stroke by the interior decorator, in vio- lation of bedreom traditional colo schemes, out, after all, why not live in a riot of harmonious color? Perhaps the most striking feature uf the bungalow is the out-of-doors ball- room and summer house combined. It leads out of the large living room, and is upon a raised platform. The entire floor is tiled in red, covered with deep grass-green Moquette rugs. Broad steps lead down to tie long, low room, the whole a mass of green—floor, rugs, wil- low lounging chairs, tables. floor vases and lamps, leading up to the plain tan walls, divided into narrow panels by red Japanese cords. The roof is a Spanish canvas of green, striped with red. Hang- ing trom the ceiling are Persian lan- ters of unusual applique pattern, in red and green.

ADVANCE HERE MONDAY Fuel ‘Genditions as Revealed by Investigation Made by Post-Dispatch. Big operators in the Illinois coalWelde, St. Louis’ source of supply, frankiy state through the present era of ‘harvest, after a 108s. they expect, high prices, to reap a three lean years of mining at two-thirds of the tonnage last year havr- {ng been produced under receivers. The operators assert that they now see their fest chance in several years to make a winning, and will take all the money they can get. What the operators’ profits at present are may be judged from the calcula- ifon that standard soft coal can be pro- duced at the mines at a.cost of $1.3 a ton, and from the fact that the average selling price at the mines today ranges from $2.25 to $2.50 a ton. On the other hand the operators maintain that the prices are not fixed by them, but by the purchasers, who, owing to enormous'!y increased demands for coal, bid against cne another for every ton mined. The operators therefore regard their profits as legitimate business winnings. Advance in Prices Monday. These views were stated to a Post-Dis- patch reporter, who yesterday undertook to gather information about the coal gituation from operators, wholesale an‘ retail dealers, and railroad men. The announcement has been made that be- ginning Monday the price of standard soft coal, delivered in the St. Louis railroad yards, will be increased from $8 to $3.25 a ton, which will result in an increase to the consumer from $4 to $4.25 a ton. The coal trade is befng investigated b>; the Federal “Trade ‘Commission, which last week held a session in Chicago, at which the testimony or representatives of the Illinois operators was heaid. Ac- eording to dispatches from Washing- ton, Congressman Dyer of St. Louis has introduced a resolution demanding a Congressional investigation, and Attor- ney-General Gregory has stated that tne Government will ask indictments against many coal operators throughout the country, on charges of ‘‘combining to maintain prices or control the output of coal,’’ Attorney H. A. Gleich, of th» Chemical Building nas offered his serv- ices free as prosecutor in the cases, de- elaring that™the people of this city are being ‘“‘held up”’ by the dealers. Conditions Revealed by Inquiry. The Post-Dispatch investigation has brought forth the following conditions: The operators are charging a price for coal at the mines which local wholesale and retail dealers denounce as “‘outrageous’’ and ‘“‘beyond rea- son.”’ The operators are able to get these prices because of an unparalleled ex- pansion in the consumption of coal, dué directly to the war—increased exports and increased consumption in manufactures. The East alone consumed 73,500,000 tons more coal] last year than it did in 1915. Conditions now are such as they were’ during the great anthracite strike—coal normally consumed here is being shipped East to supply the deficiency in that section. The situation is aggravated by a shortage of coal cars, which prevents the mines from running full time. igures for Wednesday of this week show that out of 75 mines in the I- linois district, 15 had no cars at all, and 2 were operating only two to six hours a day, the normal day being eight hours, It ie charged that some of the rail- roads are making discriminations in favor of certain operators, and threaten, if they do not receive cut prices for coal, to refuse cars to re- calcitrant operators. Such allugations are made in suits pending in the Btate and Federal courts in St. Louis. There has been an increase in the cost of production averaging vetween 3s and 40 cents a ton, due to in- creased wages to miners and en- hanced cost of material. The cost from retailer to consumer has been increased by an advance in the cost of hauling. This was for- merly 30 to 62% cents a ton: it is now 42% cents to $1,12% a ton. The haul- ers say the price of oats has gone up from 31 to 74 cents a ton, and that the cost uf wagons has soared fron) $235 to $360 or $370. Have Chance to Make Voney.

Nota single bid was received, the operators not being willing to tie themselves up While the car situation is so unsettled. “Factories here which formerly had a hard time running eight hours a day are now running 24—meaning multiplied coal consumption. The same thing is true of factories all over the country. “The cost of mining has increased. The miners .recently gat a raise of 26 cents a ton.

In my opinion, conditions are likely to grow worse as the war proceeds.”’ Thomas P. Brewster, general manager of the Mount Olive Staunton Coal Co., in the Federal Reserve Bank Building, another large. operating concern, de- clares no exception can be taken if the operators, after losing money for years, take advantage of the present situation to recoup. “But the operators do not set the price,” he asserted’ “Since last Oc- tober coal has been at auction, the purchagers—such as the railroads, big consumers and wholesalers—bidding for all the coal in sight. ‘For three years the coal mining busi- ness has been on a losing basis in Illi- nois; last year two-thirds of the tonnage produced there was under receivers. Now we see a chance to make some money, through legitimate business profits. A responsible Chicago firm offered us $2.50 a ton for our entire output at the mine; we refused it in order to protect our old customers, and are keeping the price at $2.26. “There is a grave deficiency of coal cars, which compels the mines to run on short time. On Wednesday 20 out of 76 Illinois mines were running only two to six hours, instead of the normal eight hours. Of these 75 mines, 15 had no cars at al), Brewster asserted that the Coal Op- erators’ Association of the Fifth Dis- trict of Ilinols, with offices in the Fullerton Building, of which he is pres- ident, ig not an organization of opera- tors for the purpose of fixing prices and controlling production. The association's sole function, he asserted, is adjudicat- ing differences with unton labor. Joseph D.

LONDON, May 12.—Reorganization of phe admiraity tending to separate the work of supply, repair and equipment from the strategic control of the fleet as a fighting unit, has been carried into effect, according to the Times. Lloyd George is given chief credit for the re- form. The effect of the reorganization, the Times says, wiil be to give Sir John Jellicoe, First Sea Lord, powers as chief of staff analogous to those possessed by Sir Willlam Robertson at the War Office. He and his colleagues, the Sec- ond and Fourth Sea Lords, have been relieved of the greater payt of their former responsiblities in connection with the navy’s shore establishment, . and hereafter will devote their whole atten- tion to strategic problems. 7 “In general,’’ the Times says, ‘‘the re- forms mean the return to conditions at the admiralty before the civil adminis- tration of the navy was confused with the purely military administration, leay- ing each branch of the service in the hands of men whose experience and training has especially fitted them for its administration.”’ Duties of New French Chief of Gen- eral Staff Outlined. PARIS, May 12.—President . Poincare has signed a decree defining the status of the new post of chief of the general staff, to which Gen. Petain has been appointed. Gen. Petain is ‘‘the delegate of the Minister of War for the study of all technical questions concerning military operations and for the direc- tion of military services in French ter- ritory,’’ the decree reads, and continues: “He gives to the Minister of War technical advice on, first, the general conduct of the war and the co-operation of the allied army; second, on the gen- eral plans of operation drawn up by the generals-in-chief, whose duty it will be to carry them out; third, on the pro- grams for the construction of war ma- terial (artillery, aviation, railroad); fourth, on the distribution of the re- sources of the country in effectives an materials between the different theaters of operation; fifth, on the use of the means of transportation in France as re- gards the movements of troops and ma- terial and general on all questions submitted to him by the Minister of War. “He will centralize the questions of staff and general officers and will have authority over the military missions and military attaches abroad.’’ ae ee 4 U-BOAT SURVIVORS REACH U.S. ame eee em Three of Men Rescued Twice Ships Were Sunk.

Deena ARM .ON Served as Deputy to Father, Then Sheriff. of Fremont County, lo. LOST STAGE “Col.” Houston N. Morgan, lawyer, actor, playwright and politician who wus appointed yesterday to succeed Capt. Frank J. Primavesi as superintendent of the ‘Workhouse, will take the position with the resolve to continue the prac- tice of his ‘“‘rule of life.”” That rule, hg explains, is ‘‘never to let @ day pass without doing some act of kindness to his fellow man.”’ Among the 422 priséners in the Work- house, including 33 wemen, there are few who will not respond more readily to kindness than to harshness, Mor- gan believes. There will be strict disci- pline, without favoritism and withou~ brutality, he promises. Was Deputy Sheriff in lowa. Although he goes to his new place from the peaceful ranks of inspectors In the street department, Morgan is not unacquainted with the care aiid com- mand of offenders. Nor is this know!- edge merely that of the _ theatrical “sheriff,” a part that Morgan played in his days as an actor. He was deputy to his father, Major W. W. Morgan, when the latter was sheriff of Fremont County, Io. At 18, Morgan took a pris- oner, convicted of murder, from Sidney to Ft. Madison, and earned the dis- tinction of having been the youngest police officer to perform that duty. In an attempt at breaking jail another prisoner shot Morgan twice in the head. After a career as deputy sheriff Mor- gan decided to take a less dangerous means of making his livelihood, and en- tered the offices of Anderson & Mitch- ell, attorneys, at Sidney, Io. A few years before that, Frederick W. Leh- mann of St. Louis, former Solicitor-Gen- eral of the United States, hdd studied law in the same office. Turns From Law to Stage. After his admission to the bar Mor- fan went to Texas to practice, but be- came acquainted with vaudeville per- formers and other folk of the stage and temporarily forgot the law. When he finally resolved to become an attorney he went to Dallas to present a letter of introduction to Robert Cowart, a lead- ing member of the Texas bar. As Mor- gan entered the courthouse at Dallas he heard the report of a revolver and a moment later found Cowart had shot Judge Thurman. Morgan didn't continue his efforts to be a lawyer, but returned to his friends of the stage. Taking small parts first, Morgan be- came “Davy Crockett’’ in a popular play of the name and traveled over the country for several years. On Oct. 16, 1894, he was playing the part of Luke Faye in “Uncle Josh Sprucebry,”’ at Maringo, Ill. In the scene in which Faye lays his wife on a log, with the object of letting her be sawed in two in a-saw miil, Morgan lost his right arm. After the saw had been started he missed his footing and in an effort to steady himself threw his 4rm in front of the saw. Loss of Arm Helped Him. Although mangled and shocked, Mor- gan finished the scene, and then walked five blocks to a hotel where a surgeon amputated the arm. Morgan says this accident was at first a blow to him, but subsequently became a blessing ag the thousands of ‘“‘notices’’ he received in the daily and the theatrical pfess brought him Into prominence and great demand in his profession. Turning from ‘‘parts,’’ Morgan became a press representative and finally man- ager of various shows. Later he wrote “The Irish Aristocrat’ and the “Wizard of Wall Street,’’ which had some vogue and earned some money. Morgan ex- plains that he made several unfortunate ventures in backing shows on the road and lost thousands of dollars. On com- ing to St. Louis in 1907 he became man- ager of a moving picture theater and operated two others. He lost an addi- tional $35,000 in these enterprises, he Says. Morgan proudly declares that he has known personally hundreds of Mayors of large and small cities in the United States. Finally Becomes Politician. His political activities here began about five years ago, when he organized a club of young men in support of the Progressive party. This organization i Man j became the “Junior Citizens” and in the f recent Republican campaigns in St. Louis gaye help to Mayor Kiel and his faction. The recent moving pictures showing ‘‘civi@ activities’’ in St. Louis and giving Mayor Kiel credit for them, orginated with Morgan, who superin- tended the taking of the views and ther exhibition. Mra. Morgan, who was Miss Bessis F. Fichtegam, daughter of a formes superintendent of the city sanitarium, was leading woman in various plays for 18 years. She and Morgan appeare.! together in several different shows. Morgan’s specialties were “heavy” barts, in some of which he appeared as an exceedingly ‘bad man’’—a type much worse than he will find among his charges at the workhouse. Morgan says he will use all the ava'l- able ground at the workhouse for grow- ing vegetadlew for the prisoners and for the inmates of other institutions if thare ‘s a surplus. He is 59 years old and lives at 2354 Lafayette avenue. He has been twice president of the local Order of Eagles. PRESIDENT PRAISES PATRIOTIC ACTION OF CATHOLIC HIERARCHY Cardinal Gibbons Makes Public Letter Thanking Him fer Declara- tion of Fealty. BALTIMORE, Md., May 12.—Cardineal Gibbons has made public a letter he received from President Wilson thank- ing' him for the declaration of fealty made by him and the other members of the Catholic hierarchy at a meeting at the Catholic University a short time ago. The letter follows: “My dear Cardinal Gibbons: The de- mands of my time incident to the arri- val and entertainment of the foreign commissions now in Washington have delayed my replying to your gracious letter. 1 am sure you will understand and I beg that -yrou will pardon the de- lay. ‘The very remarkable resolution unan- imously adopted by the archbishops of the United States at their annual meet- ing in the Catholic University on Apri! 18 last, a copy of which you were kind enough to send me, warms my heart and makes me very proud indeed that men of such large influence should act in so large a sense of patriotism and so admirable a spirit of devotion to ou, common country. “Cordially and sincerely yours, “WOODROW WILSON.” TRACTION WORK FOR WOMEN IN EVENT OF WAR NECESSITY Motormen and Conductors on East St. Louis Line Say They Will Make No Objections, If, in the event of war emergencies, it becomnes advisable to employ women conductors on the East St. Louis & Sub- urban electric cars, there will be no ob- jection from the motormen and con- ductors. An agreement to this “ig | was announced this morning by Gen- eral Manager Parsons, who said tlie men objected at first, but yielded when the matter was put to them on patriotic grounds. The men have rejected the company’s proposals concerning wage increases and will notify the officials, at a confer- ence Tuesday, whether they will sub- mit the question to arbitration. Méét- ings of the men will be held meantime to ascertain their attitude on arbitra- tion. If they refuse it, a strike will be called next week; unless the company makes additional concessidns. WOMAN SWINDLED OUT OF 50 CENTS FOR COAL “BEQUEST” Was Told Her Mayor Kiel Dying and Had Given 1000 Bushels of Fuel to Poor. A middle-aged. man called this morn ing upon Mrs. Kate Rodenhaugen, 154° South Seventh street, and told her Mayor Kiel was dying and wished as a bequest to give away 1000 bushels of coal to the poor. He showed a booi: with a long list of names of bene- ficiaries.’’ All the expense the recipient Would be under, he said, was 50 cents for haulinz the coal. Mrs. Rodenhausen gave him 50 cents and he put her name in the book. An hour later she decided to tell the police. At the Mayor’s office it was said he was improving, and that the tale of his bequest of coal was a swindle. a a eed a a a OE es ee oe 6s ae ee en ——~e- SKINNER’S Uses" FOR EAGLE STAMPS 1 ome for ach f rom tte Tt Package. ar Ae Recilatiie wt afore °° | ion, This body, | hope, wil! order the * gps lines to send Us some empties." 4. . es “ Shen ae . os a ag * se 2 a a Pa ¥ ae ty if ES eee ES te Ste cae ay az is ‘ aes # Pare pe a psy Sue fh et: gee pila a. ign ‘e Rij So eae ai ae : ‘ Pe ag > came oe ; Peas. > 3 nyo Bs maine DE ; ts F st =< aigammaai <a ae — ‘ Py 3 circulation and a wide marionic Ee Figures as to the circulation two daily German-language St. Louis show that, in the last 16 their circulation has The American Newspaper Directory gives the preéent ¢’ of the Weetliche Post as 2,%8 £ dally edition, and 25,358 for the # edition, called the Mississippi In 1907 the same directory on culation of 4,18 for the daily Post and 69.8% for the Sunday p The other German-language Amerika, is credited with a culation of 18,250.

Carpenter Nata the best automobile possible for the human brain to conceive and mechanical ingenuity to construct—a $25,000 car—was known as the “HOUGHTON.” aes ; Suppose it was such a surpassing piece of automobile achievement that nothing had heretofore equalled it; that it was not only the last word in motor cars, but that nothing in the future could possibly improve upon it. _ ; Now suppose you saw a ‘‘HOUGHTON’”’ ear in all its magnificence of appoint- ment and perfection of construction awaiting the pleasure of its owner in front of his palatial residence on the Avenue. ra f And suppose you noticed a nut drop from this marvel of m ieal perfection, and suppose you wandered over and while the chauffeur wasn’t looking, slyly and ‘surreptitiously appropriated that nut. Just suppose that, having nothing but the nut yon had appropriated, you claimed you had a ‘‘HOUGHTON CAR,”’ and proceeded to build a garage to house Said nut which you called a ‘‘HOUGHTON CAR.’’ Would it be surprising if your friends and acquaintances looked with amaze- ment at the nut and then at you and significantly said, ‘‘You’re another?’’ ‘‘Nutty sort of talk,’’ you may probably call thia, but is it? There may be method in its madness. Here is the organization of E. F, Houghton & Company, as perfect am organiza- tion as is possible to obtain from the human unit. It is seasoned by time—as all ef- ficient organizations must be—in this case a half century, plus. Every now and then some minute part of the HOUGHTON ORGANIZATION works loose and falls off. - Then along comes some competitor and slyly appropriates the? part to Ais own use, and immediately begins to boast that he has obtained the HOUGHTON ORGAN. IZATION. & Like unto the hypothetical automobile, this boastful competitomhimmenty “obtained an insignificant and unimportant part—a nut. To carry out the simile further, the chauffeur was unaware of the Yets of the nut, it: being such an insignificant part of the machine that he didn’t see or hear it work loose and drop off, and proceeded upon his way, without inconvenience. And so with the HOUGHTON ORGANIZATION, It proceeds withont interrup- tion and inconvenience when it loses a nut. The nut, of course, most likely must be replaced, as it constitutes @ part of the complete machine. But the replacement of a nut is an infinitesimal matter. No im- portant part of a high-grade automobile or organization ever works loose and drops off. Such parts wear with time and serviee, of course, but are replaced before they create difficulties. No nut drops off unless it is defective or does not properly fit, or perhaps abuse has worked it loose. But no matter what the reason it dropped off, a defective nut that has fallen off one car cannot render proper service on another car. Likewise, no o ization can succeed, nor even work smoothly, which is dependent for its success wholly or partly upon the defective nuts which have fallen from a competitive organization. ° So the HOUGHTON ORGANIZATION speedily and rhythmically whirrs along the business roadway, its mechanism unmarred by any loss of such un- important parts, but so perfect in its construction that not by a single lost revolution nor “miss” of its engine does it betray the dropping of a few nuts, which lie in the road until picked up by some deluded competitor.

a HLETICS 4 HITS |~ BUT BROWNS LOSE Southpaw Hopes to Win a Game Some Day When His Team- mates Make a Run for Him. “BULLET JOE” IN FORM Browns’ Hitters Unable to Con- nect With His Shoots With Men on Bases. By W. J. O’Connor. If Grover Cleveland Alexander had Earl Hamilton’s luck he would be a great pitcher like Tim McCabe. Ever since the night that the Eads bridge ran into Earl’s automobile he has had things all his own way, like Belgium. Yea, brother, life is just one big laugh for Hamilton. All he has to do is to warm up for seven or eight innings ev- ery afternoon in the bull pen, hit fun- goes to the outfield and pitch a few past the alien batters, after the bases are filled by a a faltering flinger of his own clan. Just to keep Hamilton from feeling that he's excess baggage, Manager Jones picks a soft spot for him occa- sionally, such as the‘Athletics, with Joe Bush up, or the White Sox with Eddie Cicotte In the saddle. Tt was Bullet Joe Bush against Ham- ilton, yesterday, on the loca! terrain and up to a late hour last night there°was no way of explaining how the Browns managed to get one man as far as third base. Bush was better than he ever has been against the Browns, due entirely to the fact that Hamilton was picketing Hurling Hill. It’s hardly nec- ess to mention that the Browns lost, i—0, although it is essential that we ex- plain how it happened. Jinx Floors Mr. Hamilton. Hamilton operated fgr seven innnings. In that time he held the enemy to four hits, three of them infield scratches that were as ferocious as’ onewinged light- ning bugs. None of the hits figured in the composition of the lone run that de- cided the combat. Indeed, not. Had the Athletics batted in their run we would never prate about Ham’s hard luck. But witness the facts: With one gone in the second inning, W. Johnson tapped to E. Johnson, who escaped Connie Mack at a time ‘when Connie was cornering the market on Johnsons. FE. Johnson promptly took W. Johngon’s grounder and threw it at his name-sake, EK. Johnson, who was sitting next to R. Johnson on the Philadelphia bench. Whereupon W. Johnson gallo rejoicingly to second base. .McInnis pop- ped a puny fly to Austin and there were two dead birds in the pit and everything looked ukaelele for Parl. ut at that moment Ham’s Jinx spilled the beans and it was the neatest exhi- tion of bean-spilling geen here this ason.

MAGNATES WILL PROBABLY DECIDE NEW YORK, May 12.—At a special meeting here today of the National League of baseball clubs, Va- rious phases of the baseball situation which have arisen since the opening of the season were tc be seaald ered. Among the subjects to be discussed by the club owners and league offi- cere is the Government tax upon gate receipts; the possible conscription of players for army service; reduction .of club rosters and reports of condi- tions in the cities represented by senior league teams. President John K. Tener was ex- ected to outline a plan whereby the Po per cent tax upon admission charges to balI parks would be as- sessed on\ the purchasers of tickets. In a general way it is proposed to levy an additional charge, beginning next month, upon all admission and seat coupons equal to 10 per cent of the present price of tickets. Under this plan a 50 cent ticket will cost the purchaser 55 cents and a $1.50 seat $1.65. Free admissions will carry a flat tax of 5 cents each. The proposed conscription of men of the army between the ages of 21 and 80 years of age is expected to deprive the various clubs of the serv- ices of one or more of their players and provision will have to. be made to replace such members of the teams by men drawn, from either the minors or other sources Branch Rickey, the new president of the St. Louis team, and J. C. Jones, one of the largest stockholders, are here to attend the conference. is their first opportunity sinco entering the National League to meet -the other magnates of the RS ee eine tere.

The three matches which have been wrestled in this city by lightweight champion Jack Fisher, concluding with the one last night against the Finland wonder, Johnny Makie, have not only been bitterly contested, but have been held under unfavorable attendance conditions, with the men competing largely for their own money. Last night’s contest was no excep- tion. Scarcely $50 in paid admissions were in the Moose Club Hall when the match began. The men had wagered a sum slightly in excess of $500 in all. But the resulting contest was prob- ably the finest bit of mat wizardry seen in this city since the days of George Baptiste, who refereed, by the way. The match was for the title, rather than for the money, and was a cham- pionship contest in every sense. It was unfortunate that the many fans of the city missed this real treat. When one thinks of the amazing sums certain four-flushing boxers and safety-first mitt artists are paid for risking nothing and suffering lit- tle, it seems a pity that the deserving wrestlers should break ribs and un- dergo real punishment for a pittance. It’s the old story—“Unto him that hath shall be given; and from him that hath not Shall be taken away.” The Case of W. Johnson Again. HIS morning we rise again to call attention to the fact that Ear! Hamilton’s alleged Jinx is a piker, compared to the Nemesis of Walter Johnson, the Fireball King. Here's the story of Walter, this year, briefly told: Johnson has pitched 59 innings, représenting seven games, approxi- mately. In that period he has allowed 30 hits, about one every other in- ning, or an average of less than 5 per nine-inning game. He has allowed 15 runs in 7 games. And yet, Bo, he has lost five out of the seven, including his Iast . .four appearances. No doubt fans will begin to say Walter is wt | ole ae $ but the brakes should be applied to his support, not to Walter. who would still be a master of masters, if he had a few runs back of him. | Our “Slugging”’ Teams. [Use of hitting again seems the bane of St. Louis clubs. In the last two days local teams have gone scoreless in three out of four games, the Browns managing to make two runs off the weak Athletics in their first contest here. Pitching is the great factor, of course; but as Walter Johnson's case shows, pitching can’t win, no matter 18 STARTERS WILL RACE IN 43d KENTUCKY DERBY, LOUISVILE, Ky., May 12.—The forty- third renewal of the historical Kentcuky | Derby, the richest classic in America, fand now that racing has been suspended in England, the oldest stake in the world. will bring to the barrier at Churchill Downs this afternoon one of the greatest fields in the history of the event.

O wonder the American Associa- tion wants to close its gates. On top of a prolonged and rainy Spring. weak attendances and the war distraction comes none other than the Indianapolis Baseball club with a record of victories that gives it an almost hopeless lead. The Association Indians have won 22 games and lost 4, to date. And that isn’t all—the season has been shortened to 112 games, so that the race is now almost one- fourth over! Unless the Indianapolitans slow down to a whisper, there won‘t be enough in- terest in the race to keep the mascot awake. . « Incidentally, the association struggle now looks like what many persons pre- dicted the National League marathon would, when the New York Giants set- tled into their stride— a walkover. The Giants are doing well, thank you; but thus far they haven't hopelessly discour- aged the opposition. ne e Baseball Will Miss Collegians. " by woes MACK’S baseball kinder- garten system has been wrecked by the war and other causes, With the colleges fairly emptying themselves of students, now swarming from. class- room to recruiting offices, the chance of picking up $100,000 infields out of $1® collegians is gone—for several seasons at least. The college man will probably con- tribute mext te nothing to major league baseball for the coming year — and who knows how many more? C. Mack is wise—he read the hand- writing and bolstered his club with such veterans as he could pick up— and fared well, at that. Bodie, Schauer and Falkenberg are among the major league discards now dis- ee collegians on the Mack ma- chine.

Batting and Fielding Figures of St. Louis Players Right Up to MAKEE BREAKS RIB AND ? OSES TITLE MAT BOUT Finnish Wrestler Forced to Quit After Accident in Losing First Fall to Fisher. Lightweight Wrestling Champion Jack Fisher successfully, defended his title, last night at Moose Club Hall, when he won from Johnny Makie of Norwood, Mass., gaining one fall on his opponent in 27 minutes 7 seconds, with a body scissors hold and an arm lock. Makie exerted himself so strenuously in trying to get out of this hold that he wrenched a rib loose from the car- tilege and was ordered not to continue by a physician. Up to the fall Makie had had all the better of the contest. Seemingly out- weighed several pounds by the cham- pion, the lad of Finnish birth was the aggressor all the way and had Il isher on the defensive all thé time. Only twice in 26 minutes did Fisher momen- tarily assume thé offensive, so busy did his active opponent keep him. Makie displayed an astonishing va- riety of unusual holds and only Fisher’s great strength and courage enabled him to break some of them. The fall came like a flash from a clear sky. Makie had been forcing the bout, as usual, when Fisher spun out of a hold and came up with a body scissors and an off-arm lock. It was seen at once that Makie was in a dangerous position. He immediately bridged and strained to break loose. Twice he al- most succeeded, but the inexorable scis- sars both times clamped around him and crushed his ribs in. Makie was unable to arise without as- sistance. After a ring examination it was announced that a rib was dislocated and the match was stopped, the referee awarding the stakes to Fisher.

Harry Hempstead of the Gidhts recently signed McGraw to a three- year contract at $580,000 a year, and invests annually in about $100,000 worth of ancient and modern base- ball brie-a-brac.

TRIALS SET FOR TUESDAY Accused of Trying to Collect Additional $8 Per Man After $2 Was Authorized. Police Sergeant Stephen Collins of the Newstead Avenue Station and four pa- trolmen, members of the special salary committee of the Executive Committee of the Police Relief Association, were suspended from duty by, Chief Young yesterday afternoon on charges growing out of the attempted collection of a fund to obtain the passage of the police salary increase bil! at the last Legisla- ture. The patrolmen suspended were Wil- Ham McCormack of the Central Dis- trict, John Sanders of the Angelica Street District, John McCaffrey of the Carr Street District and Charles Dumont of the North Market Street District. Chief Young said last night that he called the men to his office and notified them of their suspension on charges of disobedience of orders in attempting to collect $8 from each policeman after the Board of Police Commissioners had is- sued an order that only $2 should be col- lected for an expense fund in obtaining the passage of the salary increase bill. The men were served with coples of the charges, which made four typewrit- ten pages. False Reports Charged. Tt was Jearned at poiice headquarters that some of the men also were charged with having made a false report in that they denied knowledge of the collection of the fund, whereas evidence has been obtained that all had knowledge of 1%. and discussed it secretly. ? Patrolman Ray Cummins, former sec- retary of the Police Relief Association, also Was a member of the Salary Com- mittee, and was, suspended two weeks ago. He will be tried at a special meet- ing of the Police Board Tuesday, which viso is the date fixed for the trials of the men suspended yesterday. It is ex- pected that al! except Cummins wil! ask for a postponement of théir trials. : Bach of the suspended 'men was nvti- fied by the Chief that he could have a separate trial or that all could go to trial together. No Criminal Law Violations. The Chief said last night that he did not believe the evidence in the posses- sion of the Police Board indicated that any of the men had been guilty of viola- tions of the criminal laws, and that he new of nothing which would call for any further action than that of trials before the board. All of the evidence has been submitted to City Counselor Daues, who will con- duct the prosecution of the men before the board. The evidence was obtained by President Mansur of the Police Board and Chief Young, after publication of the attempt to collect an additional $8 from each policeman after the original @2 authorized by the board had been oollected. It is learried from a reliable source that the evidence obtained is that prior te the beginning of the last session of the Legislature, a lawyer residing in a rural county informed members of the Police Department that the salary in- crease could be obtained on the payment of $40,000 by policemen. The %40,000 proposition was rejected, but a movement to collect a fund for “expenses’’ was started. The original had been to. ask an increase of $15 @ month for each man, and it was pro- posed that each policeman should do- mate his first month's increase to the fund. Later the demand was reduced to #10. Collection of 82 Authortecd. The former Police Board refused to ganction a collection of $10 per man, and in a apecific order authorized the coliec- tion of $2, and no more. On this au- thorization a fund of $3121 was collected and the most of it was paid to Joseph J. Crites of Rolla, a lawyer, who was @ candidate for the Democratic nomina- tion for Lieutenant-Governor in the last primary. Crites was employed to draw the salary increase bill and to go to Jef- fersen City to look after the progress of the bill. After the bill had passed and the Legisiature had adjourned, it became known at police headquarters that mem- bers of the salary committee were so- ligiting an additional $ from each man in the Central District. Policemen said they considered they owed a debt of honor for the passage of the bill and that they belleved they should make the additional collection. here has been no evidence made public as to which members of the Legislature Were to receive the fund. Only $850 was collected before the investigation was » and the collection stopped. It | said the board has been unable to jearn what became of this money. REFUSAL TO PARTICIPATE IN RUSSIAN.

Otto F. S8tifel, president of the Union Brewing Co., said, when told of the Senate amendment, that such a regula- tion would mean prohibition, so far as the breweries are concerned. They can- not make beer without cereals, he de- clared. He estimated the number of workers affected as being more than 10,000 and said the indirect effect of a disaster to the brewing interests would involve many others. Charlies W. Staudinger, advertising manager of the Anheuser-Busch Brew- ing Association, who has been active in circulating statistics bearing on ths controversy as to the use of grain in liquor-making, said the Senate regula- tion, placed in force, would put the St. Lotiis breweries out of business. ‘‘Barliey and rice are essential in the manufacture of beer,’’ he said. “If we are forbidden to use these cereals, we will be thrown back on our reserve stocks of grain and beer, which will not last long, even in the case of the iarge breweries. The small breweries have practically no ,reserve, and the supply of beer as a. whole would not last more than a few weeks. No Large Reserve Stocks. “The case is different with the distil- lers, who have large stocks of whisky in bond. Beer is not made to keep in- definitely, as whisky is, and the high price of grain hes kept brewers from ac- cumulating any large reserve stocks lately. I assume that, under this law, the brewers would be permitted to use what grain they might have on hand. “T suppose the manufacture of non- alcoholic cereal drinks would be per- mitted to continue. However, the stop- ping of the manufacture of beer would be a very serious thing for &t. Louis. It would throw thousands of men out of work, from 4000 to 6000 in the Anheuser- Busch establishment alone.”’ Staudinger recently collected statistics to show that the total consumption of cereals by the brewing and distilling in- terests was between 60,000,000 and 7,- 000,000 bushels a year, but that fully one- half of this goes back to natural use, in the form of improved feed for cattle. Some'of the breweries use corn, he said, but it is not used by most of the St. Louis breweries.

He said, in his Setter, that the closing of the breweries would throw thousands of persons out of work, and would make families dependent. He declared that the conservation of grain which would follow the proposed measure would save less than one ounce of flour or.meal a day for every person in the country, and that this saving Would be in part offset by the loss of the feed for stock now furnished by breweries and distil- leries. No wheat is used in the manu- facture of liquor, he said, but only bar- ley, corn and rice. Cereals Used in Liquors. The Post-Dispatch two weeks ago pub- lished figures obtained from the De- partment of Agriculture and the In- ternal Revenue Department, showing the quanity of cereals used in the mak- ing of whisky and beer. This total, for the fiscal year énding in June, 1916, was shown to be 106,748,892 bushels. In the manufacture of distilled spirits the following quantities of cereals were used: Corn 32,069,642 bushels, rye 3,116 - 612 bushels, wheat 3373 bushels, mait 4,480,588 bushels, barley 148 bushels, oats 9807 bushels and other cereals 68,822 bushels. This makes a total of 39,748,892 bushels of food cereals used by the dis- tilleries. In the brewing industry there was used 48,000,000 bushels of barley, 17,000,000 bush- els of corn and 2,000,000 bushels of rice. Hops, being partly an imported prod- uct, and not strictly a food cereal, is not listed by either of the Government departments. The articles most extensively used in both distilling and: brewing are barley and corn, 48,000,148 busheis of barley, and 49,069,542 bushels of corn. The total amount of corn raised in the United States for the year ending Dec. 15, 1916, was 2,683,241,000 bushels and of barley 180,927,000 bushels. From these figures it appears tiiat the brewing and distilling industries use nbout two per cent of the corn crop and about 27 per cent of the bariey crop. The total rye crop was 47,383,000 bush- els, of which about seven per cent went into the manufacture of distilled spirits. Five per cent of the rice crop of the UniteG States, which amotintred to 41,000, - 000 bushels last year, Went inio beer. The amount of wheat used by the dis- tilleries was minute compared to the total production of 640,000,000 bushels. Molasses is used largely in the liquor industry, more than 152,000,000 gallons being taken by the distilleries last year. RAILROAD DETECTIVE KILLED BY MAN HE HAD ARRESTED Special Agent Brogles of Vandalia Suspected Man of Being Car Thief. John J. Broyles, 36 years olds of 4022 Lucky street, a special agent for the Vandalia Railroad, was shot and fa- tally wounded last night at the end of the east street car approach to the Eads Bridge, by an unidentified white passer in the East Side railroad yards. The shot was heard by George W. Cone of 4055 Page boulevard, a dispatch- er tn the freight neuse of the East St. Louis & Suburban Railway, 100 feet away. Cone found Broyles lying on the ground. Before losing consciousness at the Deaconess Hospital, Broyles told briefly that he suspected the man of being a box car thief and arrested him, and started to walk him to the police sta- tion without searching him. When they reached the end of the bridge approach, he said, the man suddenly grappled with him and shot him. He said the prisoner uged a revolver which he took from his pocket. Broyles died a half hour after reaci- ing the hospital, PARIS, May 12.—Now that sugar is scarce, the jewelers of the Rue de la Paix are offering gold boxes, each only big enough to contain two lumps of sugar to women who go to afternoon teas.

An unidentified robber, about 19 years old, was killed shortiy before midnight last night when he and a companion at- tempted to hold up the saloon of John H. Fahien, 2201 Cass avenue. The sec- ond robber escaped. Henry Ahrens, 61 years old, of 4133 Kennerly avenue, the bartender, was back of the bar and seven customers were in front of it, when the two rob- bers entered at different doors. Each robber had a revolver and im- mediately on entering the barroom they commanded everybody to hold up their hands, In preparation for robbers, Pahien had constructed a low partition at the end of the bar and had placed back of it a double-barreled shotgun. Ahrens jumped behind the partition and as he did so one of the robbers fired. The bullent went wild. Ahrens fired both barrels of the shot- gun over the partition at the robber, who had entered a door at the corner of Twenty-second street and Cass avenue. The charges of shot struck him in the forehead, killing him almost instantly. The other robber fled out a door on the Twenty-second street side of the saloon, where he had entered. There was nothing on the dead man to identify him. He wore a brown suit of clothes and a cap, and he had 65 cents in his pocket. An hour before this attempted rob- bery twogmen, one of whom had a re- volver, robbed Ignats Bialik. a grocer at 9% Cass avenue, of $14 in his store. H.C.

WASHINGTON, May 12.—The legislative step toward conservation of the nation’s food resources, and a long advance toward an absolutely dry Unit- ed States, was taken tonight by the Senate in approving, 38 to 32, an amend- ment to the administration espionage bill forbidding during the war the use of cereals or grain in the manufacture of intoxicating liquor. The amendment was introduced by Cummins of Iowa. The prohibition amendment was adopt- ed undér a rule limiting debate sharply, and there were only brief speeches on each side. Jugt before the Senate had voted down, 47 to 2%, an amendment to forbid sale, of intoxicants during the war. Effective Sept. 1, the Cummins amend- ment is calculated to confine sale and consumption to whisky and other grain liquors already in stock, and to wines, brandies or other drinks that depen:! upon other materials for their main constituents. Another opportunity to vote on it will be offered when the Sen- ate takes the bill with the amendment from the Committee of the Whole, but opponents of the prohibitory provision are not confident that they will be able to overturn today’s action. Estimates during the debate were that at least $200,000,000 in annual internal revenue would be iost if the amendment stands. Text of Amendment. The amendment reads as follows: That on and after Sept. 1, 191%, during the period of the war with the Imperial German Government, _ it shall be unlawful to use or employ, directly or indirectly, any cereal, grain, sugar or syrup in the produc- tion of intoxicating liquor in any form or of any kind: provided that nothing in this section sha!! prevent the use of sugar or syrup in the manufacture of wines as now author- ized by existing laws: provided fur- ther, that this section shal] not be construed to make unlawful the man- ufacture of alcohol or intoxicating liquor for industrial, mechanical, medicinal, sacramental or scientific purposes under rules and regulations to be established by the Secretary of the Treasury. A violation of this section shall be punished by a fine of not more than $5000 or imprisonment for not more than three years, or both. Vote on Cummins Amendment. Senators who voted for the amend- ment were: Democrats—Ashurst, Beckham, Gore, Kendrick, King, Kirby, McKeller, Mar- tin, Myers, Phelan, Pittman, Shafroth, Sheppard, Shields, Smith, (Georgia), Swanson, Thompson, Trammell, Varda- man, Walsh, Williams, Wotcott—22. Republicans—Brady, Cummins, Curtis, Gallinger, Hale. Johnson alifornia), Jones (Washington), Kenyon, Norris, Page, Poindexter, Sherman, Smoot, Sterling, Sutherland, Townsend—16. Against the amendment were: Democrats — Bankhead, Broussard, Fletcher, Gerry, Hardwick, Hollis, Hus- tig, James, Jones (New Mexico), Lewis, Overman, Pomerene, Ransdell, Reed, Robinson, Simmons, Smith (South Caro- lina), Stone, Underwood—19. Republicans—Drandegee, Calder, Fall, France, Frelinghuysen, Harding, Ke!- logs, La Foleltte, Lodge, Nelson, New, Wadsworth, Weeks—13. An amendment by Senator Gronna prohibiting the use of grains and other necessities of life in the manufacture of beverage alcohol was beaten 4 to %4.- Another by Senator Weeks to per- mit the use of grains and cereals in the manufacture of alcoho! used inthe manufacture of tobacco was beaten. 39 to 37. There was much discussion of consti tutionality of the Cummins amendment, and many Senators complained that the Senate was undertaking the most im- portant sort of legislation under a limit- ed debate rule. Supporters of the pro- posal emphasized strongly the fact that the nation and its alifes need every bushel of grain they can find to carry on the war. Discussion of the censorship and pro- hibition sections prevented a final vote on the bill. It will be taken up again Monday.

PRESIDENT ‘ House Reverses Action and Au- thorizes Wilson to Permit Colonel-to Lead Volunteers. SENATE ALREADY FOR IT Attitude of General Staff Ad- verse, and Administration Has Closely Followed Its Advice. WASHINGTON, May 12—The way was cleared in Congress today for Col. Roosevelt, if he receives authorization from the administration, to raise a di- vision of volunteers fof service in France. Reversing its previous action, and overriding the Conference Committee on the army draft bill, the House voted, 215 to 178, to empower the President to extend authority for recruiting such a division. This sent the army bill back to conference, but the Senate already had adopted a. similar authorization during original consideratio of the measure and its conferees are expected to agree quickly to it pow. Whether the necessary authority will be given Col. Roosevelt by the admin- istration is problematical. The Army Genefal Staff, whose advice President Wilson has followed closely in the con- duct of the war, is strongly opposed to such a plan, declaring that volunteer unifs of that character have no place in the great war army. Action After Stormy Debate, The House voted the authorization aft- er a stormy debate. Representative Anthony led the fight for the Colonel, fmoving to recommit the army Dill to conference with instructions to accept the Senate’s Roosevelt amendment. Chairman Dent of the Military Commit- tee and many other Democrats and Re- publicans fought the proposal. Forty- five Democrats and four independents were among those who voted for it, an: tnere were 30 Republican votes against it. é When the action of the House was re- ported to the Senate, Chuirman Cham- berlain of the Military Committee with- drew the conference report for revisioa and announced that the conferees would meet Monday. | ment included is expected to receive conference approvak without de- lay and go to the President for his sig- nature by the middle of the week. The language of the amendment fo! lows: “The President is further authorized to raise and maintain by voluntary enlist- ment, to organize and equip not to ex- ceed four infantry divisions, the officers of which shall be selected in the manner provided by paragraph 3 of section 1 of this act: provided, that the organi- zation of said force shall be the same as that of the corresponding organization of the regular army and _ . provided further that no such volunteer force shall be accepted in any unit smaller than a division.”’ Amid applause from both sides, Rep- resentative Gallivan, Democrat, of Mas- sachusetts chided his colleagues for fail- ure to show the same patriotism as he said Col. Roosevelt had. ‘, am told that the war lords of the Cabinet and some of the high officials of the war department oppose his going on the ground that he is incompetent,” said Gallivan. ‘‘How many of you have ever tried to get real information out 0” our war departmer.t officials? Have you ever found a really competent man in the whole place? All of you have had the Kame experience I have had. We are all for Teddy.’’ Representative Sherley replied to Gal- livan. “By this amendment,”’ he said, ‘“‘we are asked to disrupt the Government's plans for raising an army. We are asked to substitute sentiment for ef- ficiency. 1 would rather make the ex- ception for Rovosevelt than for any per- son I know, but I am not willing to pay the price which the exception will ‘coct.’’ “Would Demoralise Force.” Representative Fitzgerald declared that any one who knows Col. Rouwse- velt’s personality, ‘‘knows that were he sent abroad as a Brigadier-General he would demoralize the whole force in two weeks.”’ ; Any force sent to France should he regulars commanded by a regular army officer, and he suggested Gen Pershing. “To send a nondescript army of 80,000 would bée to send them to slaughter,” he said. “T hope that if Congress cor- mits the colossal blunder of authoriziny the ralsing of these four divisions, Pres- ident Wilsen will have the moral cour- age to resist public clamor and not al- luw Roosevelt to go to France."’ Speaker Clark directed that his vote be recorded against the amendment. Democratic leader Kitchin and Repub- lican leader Mann voted against it. Rep- resentative Rankin, of Montana, was umong those voting for it. Despite the Colonel’s request to his friends not ‘to delay passage of the act, Representative Anthony, leading the debate on the Republican side moved to recommit the bill to the Conference Committee with iInstruc- tions to reinsert the Roosevelt amend- ment. Two hours of debate on that tproposal were agreed upon. Chair- man Dent of the Military Committee objected to any change in the con- ference report, although he originally sponsored volunteer amendments. “We went into that conference iIn- structed not to insert the Roosevelt amendment by a House vote of 170 to 106 and we stood by our instructions.” Continued om Page 2, Column 4 | | Continued on Page 2, Colume 6.

It is significant that it should be dedicated to the wom- en who served to alleviate suf- fering, and to comfort those who were in*need during our Civil War, because their thoughtful, disinterested, self-sacrificing de- votion is the spirit which should always illustrate the services of the Red Cross. “The Red Cross needs, at this time, more than it ever needed before, the comprehending sup- port of the American people and all the facilities which could be placed at its disposal to perform its duties adequately and effi- ciently.

It will be our instrument to do the works of alleviation and of mer- cy, which will attend this strug- gle. Of course, the scale upon which it shall act will be great- er than the scale of any other | duty that it has ever attempted to perform. “It is recognition of that fact that the American Red Cross has just added to its organization a small body of men whom it has chosen to call its war council— not because they are to counsel, but because they are to serve in this special war those purposes of counsel which have become so imperatively necessary. Great Fund Needed. “Their first duty will be to raise a great fund out of which to draw the resources for the performance of their duty, and I do not believe that it will be necessary to appeal to the Amer- ican people to respond to their call for funds, because the heart of this country is in the war,; it’s heart will express itself in the gifts that will be poured out for these humane purposes. “T say the heart of the country is in this war, because it would not have gone into it if its heart had not been prepared for it.

Not a War for Amateurs. ‘‘And I think it not inappropriate to say this: There wilk be many expressions of the spirit of sympathy and mercy and philanthropy, and I think that it is very necessary we should not disperse our activities in those lines too much; that we should keep constantly in view the desire to have the utmost conéentration and efficiency of effort, and I hope that moat, if not all, of the philan- thropic activities of this war may be exercised, if not through the Red Cross, then through some already- constituted and experienced organi- zation. This-is no war for amateurs. This is no war for mere spontaneous impulse. It means grim business on every side of it, and“it is the mere counsel of prudence that in our philanthropy as well as in our fight- ing we should act through the instru- mentalities already prepared to our tasks which are going to be as- signed to them. “There is another thing that is sig- nificant and delightful to my thought about the fact that this building should be dedicated to the memory of the women both of the North and of the South.

The divisions which were predicted have not oc- curred and will not occyr. The spirit of this people is already united and when effort and suffering and sacri- fice have completed the union, men wilt no longer speak of any lines either of race or of association cut- ting athwart the great body of this nation.

WASHINGTON, May 12—President Wilson said in a public address here to- day that the*struggle against Germany ‘‘means grim business on every side of it,” but that America had put its heart into the task and would respond as a united nation to the call to service. Speaking at the dedication of a Red Cross memorial for the women of the Civil War, the President predicted that the present struggle not only would ob- literate the last division between the North and South, but would wipe out “any lines either of race oF association cutting athwart the great body of the nation.” Former President Taft introduced Mr. Wilson as the nation’s leader in the greatest war in history, “a war whose sacrifices we cannot realize."’ Secretary Maker formally presented the memoriai building to the Red Cross Society and the President's address was made in accepting it as honorary head of the society. The building, a handsome $409, - 000 structure boilt by the Government was dedicated to both the women of the North and South. Senator Williams of Mississippi spoke on “tte Women of the South,”’ and the Rev. Hortpe Percy Silver, chaplain of the West Point Military Academy, on "The Women of the North.” After the exercises, which were held in the Daughters of the American Revo- lution Building, the President and Mr. Taft reviewed about a thousand mem- bers of the “Women’s Volunteer Aid Corps.” led by Mre Hugh L.

Representative Rainey of Illi- nois, ranking Democratic member of the Ways and Means Committee, took 1 up most of the time today defending the measure. The increases in second-class postage rates were attacked from many quar- ters, and Rainey said the committee simply was trying to get back part of the annual loss which the Government suffers through tarrying newspapers and periodicals through the mails at 1 cent a pound. “Those of us who drew this bill knew that the life of the nation is in danger,” said Rainey.

You make no distinc- tion here between the grossest and slightest evils. You will utterly. de- stroy the business of every farmer—and there are thousands of them—who have all they own invested in vineyards. If you prohibit the use of all ‘edible things’ in makig alcoholic beverages you include grapes and peaches and ap- ples also. I think we ought to give this matter a good: deal of careful consid- eration.’’ Senator Wadsworth said he favored the eventual prohibition of the manu- factaire or use of hard tiquor in this country, but had not reached the point where the manufacture of wine and beer; should be ferbidden. Supported by Kenyon. Senator Kenyon of the Agricultural Committee said while that committee had similar legislation before it, He did not know when it might get to the Senate and he believed that fn the in- 4 - fornia and that the elimination of the industry would affect the employment of many persons and cut off Federal revenue. Senator McKellar, Democrat, said he did not believe in “debauching the American people to raise revenue for the Government.” Asked by Senator Stone if he would be willing to tax cotton $2 a bale’ to make up the deficit if the liquor reve- nue were cut off, the Tennessee Sen- ator replied he would vote for any form of property tax that would result in prohibition. $80,000,000 OF ‘LIBERTY’ LOAN BONDS "FOR THIS DISTRICT Representatives of 10 of the 18. clear- ing houses in the St. Louls Federal Re- serve Bank district, at ad meeting at the Planters Hotel yesterday, prepared plans for obtaining subscriptions to the $5,000,000,000 Libefty Bond issue to be offered by the Government in June.

WITH FEELING OF WELCOME IN U.S 1It Has Moved Our Hearts as Nothing Has Moved Them Before,’’ He Says in New York. ENDED VISIT | THERE Methbers of Mission Entertained by Chamber: of Commerce and at Carnegie Hall. NEW YORK, May 12.~The . British War Commission concluded a two-day vieit to this city tonight. Foreign Min- ister Balfour admitted at a private re- ception in hig honor this afternoon that before their departure from England some of hig asSociates may have felt misgivings ag to their reception in the United States. Speaking with evident emotion, Mr. Balfour declared that “‘if any doubts existed they exist no more.’’ “We never conceived or belleved,’’ he said, ‘‘that there would be such a uni- Versal outpouring of sympathy and every mo- mept of our visit.. Not one of us had the amallest expectation of what was to happen here. The spontaneous ex- welcome from every class has moved our hearts as nothing has every moved them before."' The entertainment here of the British miesion haa been somewhet less spec- tacular than that arranged for Rene Viviani and Marshal Joffre, but their welcome has been no leas earnest and sincere. The streets through which they have passed have beén filled with cheer- ing thousands and they have been made te feel that they are regarded as allies in every sense of the word. The appearance of Mr. Balfour and his colleagues at the luncheon of the Cham- ber of Commerce this afternoon was the most important public event of the day and they spent the evening more as pri- vate citizens than as the envoys of a great nation. Mr. Balfour was entertained at a pri- vate dinner at the home of Joseph H. Choate. -He and the former United States Ambassador to Great Britain have been warm friends for vears. Oth- er members of the mission dined at cluba or with friends, in private. Mr. Balfour attended an entertain- ment given at Carnegie Hall tonight for the benefit of the British Red Crass and was given an enthusiastic greeting by the sons and friends of England, who had assembled there. Gen, Joffre Makes Probable Laat Ap- pearance in American (City BOSTON, Mass., May 12.~New En- giand welcomed Marsha! Joffre today and from the time of his arrival from New York this morning until he left for Canada tonight he was applauded continuously by crowds massed along the streets. On Boston Common the Marshal re- ceived from Little Mary Curley, daugh- ter of ithe Mayor, a parchment announc- ing that through the Marshal the schoo! children of Massachusetts and the cit‘- zens of Boston and New England de- sired to present a sum for the care of the children whose fathers have died for France. This sum tonight had reached a total of $175,000 with con- triputions stili pouring in. At Harvard University Gen. Joffre wae invested by President Lowell with the honorary degree of doctor of laws. The university had voted to confer a similar degree on Rene Viviani, but the head of the French Mission hag been called to Canada, and as the de- @ree could only be conferred in person, it was automatically withdrawn. The neighboring city of Cambridge aiso shared in the welcome. At the City Hall Mayor Wené@ell D. Rock- wood's iittle daughter, Jeanette, pre- sented the Marshal with a purse of gold for the fatherless children of France, fram sahoo! children of the city. A silk flag, the gift of the schoo] teach- er6é, was given to him by the young daughter of Prof. L. J. A. Mercier, of Harvard, who waa himself a partic- ipant in the battle of the Somme. Four thousand other children sang the Marselllaise and the Star Spangled Banner. At a atate banquet Gov. McCall, Gen. Clarence KR. Hdward, commander of the newly created Northeastern mili- tary distriet; Mayor Curley and other state, city, and military dignitaries joined in a welcome to the French visitore. With Marshal Joffre were his ald, Lieut. de Tessan, Vice Ad- miral Chocheprat, and his aid, Lieuten.- ant-Commander Simon, Emil Llovelsque, Inspector-General of Public Instruc- tion in France, and Lieutenant-Colone!) Fabry, known as ‘The Blue Devil of France." BALFOUR MAY STAY INU. S. UNTIL END OF THE WAR Question Being Discussed By High Officials in Lendon, Pail Mall 3: Gazette Says. - LONDON, May 12—Forcign Secre- tary Balfour may: remain in the Unit- ed States as special representative, of Great Britain until the end of the war, according to the usualy well informed Pall Mall Gagette. . “By high officials in London,” it says, “‘the-question is being discussed whether Mr. Balfour should not con- tinue to be the connecting link be- tween Washirgton and London until the end of the wr .” There have been rumors of some such possibility in the House of Commons. From dispatches published here it ‘'s evident that Mr. Balfour made a de-' cided hit with both officials and people in the United States.

TOKIO, May.12.—The inaugural dinner of the new American-Japanése Society was G@ttendéd today by 300 members, among them were many of the most prominent men in Japanese public life. Viscount Kaneko, former Minister of Justice, presided, and the princtpal speech was delivered by Baron. Goto, former Minister of Communications. Baron Goto said in part: “There are few questions of such a vital moment to the welfare of mankind as the relations of Japan and the United; i States. The era of the Pacific promises the Atiantic. All the:-forces pf the Haat and West will meet. Will ti®y unite or clash? I believe it lies in the power of the United States and Japan to answer that question, on which the future hap- piness and progress of the world will depend. ‘For this reason the relations between Japan and the United States are of su- preme importance,” With the awful re- sponsibility. that they owe to mankind, will Japan and the United Staees work hand in hand, or will they turn their backs on each other? I hope the nations will find principles on ‘which to base abiding relations of mutual trust.” — Premier Terauchi said that Japan and thé United States had never, in the his- tory. of their intercourses, ceme to such a path as to endanger cordial relation- ship.

MAKES ANNUAL REPORT Patriotic Meetings Arranged for This Summer at Various Com- munity Centers. Playgrounds and _ athletic § fields and facilities provided by the city will be useful during the present war and-will contribute to the fitness of youth for future military service, Park Commissioner Cunliff says in his annual report filed with Acting Mayor Aloe yesterday. If qa larger use of the city’s recre- ‘ation and athletic opportunities had ‘been made by the youth of St. Louis in the past, Cormimissioner Cunliff says, there would have been fewer rejections because of physical dis- | abilities than there have been dur- ing the present recruiting for the army, navy and marine corps. Municipal playgrounds will be of. great value.during the progress of the war, Park Commissioner Cunliff jexplains, by supplying or supplement- ing parental control. Experience in Europe has Shown, he says, that war begets and increases the tendency to ‘delinquency among children. To foster patriotic sentiment among ‘young and old, Commissioner Cunliff promises that during the current year and especially,this summer, his de- partment will conduct meetings in the various community centers, and will arrange for the singing of na- tional] songs, and for other exercises jthat will emphasize the need of loyalty. Nine New Social Centers Established. Nine new sdcial centers were es- , tablished last year in the Ashland, Chouteau, Glasgow, Cleveland High, Patrick Henry, Madison, Shaw and Walnut Park schools, and at Zion Church, At these different centers classes in sewing, cooking, singing, dancing and music were formed and instructed under. the auspices. of the Park Department. There were also instructions for the naturalization and Americanization of foreigners. Commissioner Cunliff says that the attendance of men on special hights set apart for them at the Cleveland High School center averaged between 80 and 100. The attendance of women was above 100. The gymnastic and other recreational facilities of the kind that is provided at Cleveland High School will te furnished in other schools during the present year. Playgrounds and community centers have proved an effective antidote against the “gang spirit’ that pre- vailed among St. Louis youth in the past, Commissioner Cunliff says. City Received Gifts of Land. In the last year the city has re- ceived as gifts from St. Louisans a total of 140 acres of land for ad- for the machine—15 days after purchase. ditional parks. D. R.
