The German logic was naive—if the alrmen knew there were allicd prisoners near, they might not try to «et the station, and even if they did, the prisoners were more apt to get the bombs than the station, the camp was so much larger and there were so many more of us to get.

NEW YORK, May 12. “y OU _ admit that I know what hunger is ?”’ Sir Ernest Shackleton asked the ques- tion in response to one I had put to him, “What is your message to the United States?’ As the explorer had several times almost starved to death in his South Polar explorations, the only possible reply was an affirmative. “Well,” he said, ‘“‘my most urgent message is, { guard against hunger. The first and most impor- tant thing which Americans must do is to stop wastage and economize in food. “You are going to feel hunger. “You will feel it to such an extent that it will] your armies in the field IF YOU DO NOT CON- UMIZE. “I do not mean that America could ever starve. but the world must be fed by her today. She must not only feed herself, but help to feed her allies. Millions of men have been called from the pro- ducing of food to the consumption or destruction of it, and millions more may be on the point of plunging into the fight. The U-boats will not win the war, but they are making it hard for us to win. They are helping to ‘create a shortage of food. ' “Before England learned the lesson of food economy, the wastage there was great. that in the United States it is worse. “It must stop. “They talk about thé shortage in crops in terms of millions of bushels. America can goa long way toward making up for this shortage by stopping the waste of food. —————— Wastage of Bread in the United States Appalling “I do not suppose such statistics would be prac- tical, but it would be interesting to compare the shortage in bushels of wheat to the number of bushels of bread wasted in one year in four great American cities, say St. Louis, New York, Chi- cago and Philadelphia. “TI would like to see a comparison in bulk of the shortage of beef and the wastage in meat for the same period in the same cities. “You must remember that I am speaking as an individual. It would not be right for an indi- vidual to try to dictate to any Government, much less for a Britisher to dictate or to suggest a course of action to the United States, but I cannot express too strongly my opinion as an individual that first of all America should send more guns and supplies to Europe and simultaneously econ- omize in foodstuffs and eradicate all wastage. “Nothing should be thrown away, especially fats. Save everything. Don’t throw away bits of copper, brass, lead and other basic metals. And make use of every bit of food. meal. Some men get along nicely on one meal a day. Others feel that they require three, with four | or five courses to one of them. as he is accustomed to doing, so that he gets the of living, so that he is less efficient, but whether he eats three meals a day or one, let him econ- omize in each one. “Don’t eat more than you really need, and use what isn’t eaten in some form for’another meal. “The most critical hour of the war is at hand. There is a long uphill fight ahead. Remember that I know what hunger means and I say that men cannot fight or do the things they are capable of too long when they are hungry, and you must fight against hunger as relentlessly and as fierce- ly as you fight against the Germans.” “America Is the Keystone of the Arch of Liberty” Anyone who could have heard Sir Ernest pro- hounce these words in his blunt, sailor fashion would feel guilty if he threw away a scrap of any- thing edible or got up from dinner feeling “stuffed.” A man who can speak More convinc- ingly, more feelingly, it would be hard to find. Quick as a flash, he yet weighs every word he utters. If he has no opinion on a subject or does not think himself qualified to express one, he says so.

They look upon him as the typical fighting American. Germans Think Roosevelt Stupid but Regard Him as Indomitable “fam not so sure that it would not dishearten the Germans in the trenches, either. The Ger- mans, I have been told, think Roosevelt is stupid, but they feel that he will do whatever he says he will do, and they are in a way afraid of him. “The French fighters cannot be figured in thé same way that British and Americans are. Your Frenchman is just as likely as not to rusb out, and, single-handed, attack 1500 men, and, of course, be annihilated, stamped out of existence. The Britisher or American would not be so fool- ish. By not letting his enthusiasm run away with him, he might in the end accomplish the defeat or death of the 1500 men, but without some result in view he would not rush upon them. I do not mean that he would be afraid to die. If by walk- ing deliberately to his death he was going to do some good, he would not hesitate. “But what I am driving at is to show the type of the French mind. Men who fight like that, and with enthusiasm like that, would be made wild by the presence of Theodore Roosevelt and his band of Americans fighting shoulder to shoulder with them. “Of course, for the great American armies which must be raised, I favor the selective draft. This system is going to win the war. Nations in- variably have to resort to some form of the draft before the end and the United States is saving herself a lot of trouble by adopting it at the start. “If it were going to be a short war, things might be different, but I believe there wil] be three years more of war. A besieged city can hold out for months and months on rats and horsemeat. Arctic explorers live for an incred- ible time and accomplish wonderful feats on dog flesh.

An ex-Pregident of the United States fighting in France as Lafayette and Rochambeau fought in America, would appeal to the Gallic mind so strongly that I don’t believe barriers or lead could stop the ‘poilus.’ “The number of men in Roosevelt's force might be entirely insignificant. They might be only a drop in the bucket.

In New Zealand they have selective draft and out ‘of a population of 1,000,000 they have supplied 70,000 men and are sending 2400 every month to keep up their forces.

In the present article I purpose to take up in some detail the allied strategy, first on the broader side and then in the local operations. In the frst place, the situation was created by the German retreat of March. Over a front of some 80 miles between Soissons and Arras the” Germans, about March 17, began a general retreat. For purposes of illus-~ tration we may regard the whole German line from Lens to the Argonne as the front of a single army.. We may then say that the Germans, standing firm on their two flanks, one between Arras and Lens and he other between, Soissons and the Argonne, drew back their center.

There was only one possibility of miscalculation in the German pins. The escape from the cceadly em- brace at che Somme was rea- sonably sure, ab- solutely suis, as it turned out.

They are making real progress on both flanks, and on both flanks there are situations developing which may Compel a general German retirement. But neither ‘on the British nor on the French front has the decisive moment been reached, and we bave yet to. wait.for some time, perhaps for several months, before i¢ will be clear whether there has been a vietory in the larger sense, preven by a general German re- treat, or merely various local gains, revealed in the capture of considerable territory and many thousands of prisoners and many hundreds of guns.

After their first chorus of cries they re- mained silent for some little time, looking at one another. Tren the efficiency man spceke again. “Nevertheless,” he said, “I am not disposed to be harsh; merely just. .I am not here to tear Gown or destroy; simply to reorganize and regulate. While I feel that even a reduction of 50 per cent in your allowances does not fully meet this extraordinary situation, I shall not press the matter further at this time. Miss Brooke and Mr. Brooke, you will hereafter receive $3.33 per day each. Alice, you will be paid $1.66. All payments vr ll be made “ .ily, at 3:30 o’clock in the morning tm this office, and vouchers will be duly signed by each person receiving the same.” Constance was turned into a stony image. Alice was trembling, with a telltale quiver of her lips. Billy stormed. “We won't stand for it!” he cried, fist across the desk. Whereupon the efficiency man asked a famous question: “What are you going to do about it?’ “Fight!” "Very good. How?” “Why—why, simply refuse to put up with it!” “You mean rather than accept less than $200 a month you will take nothing? Is that it?’ Billy hesitated and felt Constance pulling at his sleeve. “Because,” added Hedge, “if that is the case, I shall be greatly gratified. I really cannot see why you children need any money at all, living as you do and being fully provided for. If you refuse to accept a reduced gratuity it will mean, of course, that I shall save 100, instead of 60 per cent, on this item of household waste. I should be glad to make such a saving. Are you With me or against me?” “Against you!” I¢ was the shrill and quivering voice of Alice that cried out. The efficiency man sighed. “Weary well,” he said.. “All allowances are re- @uced by one-half, to go into effect without fur- ther notice.” Constance rallied from her stupor. “We accept this humiliation,” she said bitterly, “because, until our father returns, we can do nothing else. We are helpless. You have insulted shaking his us by calling it a gratuity. Weare not beggars— but we are again helpless. But we do demand that our allowances, or such part of them as you see fit to pay, shall be given to us in the regular manner, in a lump sum monthly.” “A month in advance?” said the efficiency man, elevating his eyebrows. “Why? Do you spend it all the first day?” “Of course not. But that does not alter our right to receive it all at once.” “Too much temptation, ” said Hedge, shaking his head. “Besides, it’s not economic. Perhaps you do not know it, but many banks pay interest on dally balances. This is the case with the bank In which your father left an account for this household. That account is under my sole charge. By paying the three of you $250 a month in ad- vance, an appreciable amount of interest will be lost. By paying you $8.32 per day, the remainder of a considerable sum, reduced, of course, by daily drafts, remains at interest. That is the policy that I shall follow. You will be paid in checks, each morning.” “This,” said Constance, stonily, “is the crowning outrage.” “I’m sorry you look at it that way, Miss Brooke. It is simply good business. However, I’m willing to put it this way, if you object to a daily check— I will make weekly payments, at the end, however, r@ther than at the beginning of the week. If you accept this arrangement the first payment will be made a week from today.” Constance wavered. She had $2.79 left. Per- haps for a week she could stand it. But Billy and Alice were to be thought of. They were destitute. No; the pride of the Brooke family would have to grovel before this creature. It was the daily wage or bankruptcy. “We wish to talk it over,” she said. “Certainly,” assented Hedge. Constance led the way across the hall, through the big reception room and into a far corner of the music room, where they were safe from prying ears. It was Billy who spoke first. “You made a fine mess of it, Alice!” he ex- vdaimed. “Alice did her best,” declared Constance defen- sively. “Would you have done any better?” “Well, why couldn’t she have given him the idea we earned this money, or something like that?” “Barn it!” jeered Alice. “A lot we do earn it, : and you know it.” “He talks as hes we were panhandlers,” growled Billy. “Tt—it was “like standing on a bread line,” groaned Alice, _ “Come,” interrupted Constance. decide.

Now, listen: you'd better take this 60 per cent offer, because if you don't, Billy, you won't have a cent to your name.” There was an inarticulate rumbling in his throat. “And you'll be in the same fix, Alice; all of us.” continued Constance. “We can’t go around like beggars; you know it. For my part, I'm going to take mine.” “Can't we borrow the rest somewhere?” “Billy!” The proposal shockes.Constance, because it as- sailed her Brooke pride. * “None of us will ever borrow, if I can help it,” she said stoutly. Then, after a pause: “Well, now that we've accepted half, shall we take it by the ® day or by the week?” “Let's go back and fight for it by the month in advance,” said Billy. Constance shook her head. "It would do no good," she said. “Don’t you see ae ‘he’s got us? He hee all the money and we've only } got $2.79 between us—and that's ‘7 it. by the week.

The efficiency man greeted the returning confer- ees with a friendly smile and nod. They ranged before him, Constance in the center. “We accept the half rate,” she said coldly, “not because it is fair or even decent, but because we cannot help ourselves. And”—she choked for an instant—“we have decided to take it by the day.” “Excellent,” sald Hedge. “Good business. Thank you, Miss Brooke,” “I do not care to be thanked, if you please.” “Very well. Withdrawn.” Constance shot him a fierce glance, but checked a retort. There was still an item of business. “Our money was due today,” she explained, “dus we are not to be paid until tomorrow morning, I understand. There will then be two days due. Billy and myself will be entitled to a check for $6.66 each instead of $3.38, while Alice will get $3.33, instead of $1.66. Is that agreed?” “Quite correct,” nodded Hedge, as he made a memorandum, Alice and Billy sighed softly and looked in ad- miration at their sister. Neither had thought of that. Connie had saved them a day’s pay! As the three Brookes retired once more from the scene, there was something like approval in the eyes of the efficiency man, as their glance fol- lowed the central figure in the greup. He ad- mired good business, CHAPTER VII. And Demosthenes. ATILDA ARAMINTA JONES was @ person with an obsession. The obsession was Constance Brooke. Matilda came from New England, which signifies that the obsession was of the most virulent type. It extended not only to Constance, but to all things over which Constance exercised dominion. There- fore it included Demosthenes. And when Matilda, who was Constance’s maid, saw Demosthenes held at arm's length by the scruff of his neck, she went forth to battle. Demosthenes was a Pomeranian philosopher who enjoyed the distinction of being the personal prop- erty of the chatelaine of the Brooke mansion. But he was not in a philosophic mood when H. Hedge stepped on him in the library and thereby made the discovery that he was an inmate of the house. He was even less philosophic when he launched four pounds of palpitating dog flesh at the heels of economy and efficiency, in retaliation for hav- ing heen used as a rug. H. Hedge, being quick with his hands, laid hold of Demosthenes with a little or no delay, and re- moved him from the vicinity of his heels. He shook him quite roughly, and was still shaking him when Matilda entered the room. “Stop!” said Matilda tragically. H. Hedge stopped the shaking process, but still held Demosthenes pendent by the scruff. “Put him down!’’ commanded Matilda. “What is it?” asked the efficiency man, calmly surveying the struggling philosopher. “It?” repeated Matilda in an awful voice. ‘TIt!* That is Miss Connie’s dog!” “You mean to say that this is really a dog?” Matilda choked. In her soul she prayed that Demosthenes might not hear the insult. “Put him down,” she commanded. “IT think not,” remarked H. Hedge, calmly. “He wants to bite me. And, whether he is a ) dog or arat, Ido not care to be bitten. I /| think I shall dispose of him.” Matilda turned pale. Demosthenes was to be disposed of. Some horror was afoot. She fled from the library and sought her mistress upstairs.” “He is killing Demosthenes!” cried Matilda. Constance waited for no more. She raced downstairs, two steps at a time, sure-footed as a mountain-goat, yet apparently risking her neck at every stride. The efficiency man still had the small black creature at arm’s length when she appeared on the scéne. “Drop him!” cried Constance. H, Hedge turned and surveyed her with great gravity. “If I drop him, he will bite me in the ankle,” he said. “I object fo being bitten in the ankle. I broke one once, and that is sufficient.” Constance dashed across the room and gathered Demosthenes in her arms. He was a very small bundle, but he snapped angrily at H. Hedge and snarled in a manner that would have terrified a stout-hearted mouse. “Does that thing belong to you?’ demanded H. Hedge. “Thing! He is my dog!” “What is his name—Molecule?”’ “His name is Demosthenes.” “Why so much name for Bo little a dog? It's disproportionate—inappropriate.”’ The efficiency man devoted another moment of brief study to his late assailant. ’ “In fact,” said Hedge, ‘“‘why keep the dog at all? A dog has no place in domestic economy. It con- tributes nothing to wealth or comfort; it is a non- producer. It is sometimes dangerous, usually an annoyance, and invariably an expense. What does it cost to feed this dog?’ Constance uttered an exclamation of contempt. “Cost! Do you think I have nothing to do but inquire into the cost of keeping Demosthenes? What difference doés it make anyhow? All that I know is that he cost $500 when he was new.” “And how long have you had him?’ “A year, at least.” “We'll mark off 20 per cent for depreciation,” said Hedge, after a swift mental calculation. “T doubt if he would even bring $400 now.” “sir!” “No second-hand or even slightly used dog is worth as much as a new one. That's simply busi- ness. But in spite of depreciation there is, of course, no reduction in the cost of upkeep. There- fore, we are maintaining an entirely useless and steadily depreciating anima) at a cost that rapliily increases in proportion to actual value.” A second-hand dog! Constance was speechless. Unconsciously, she hugged Demosthenes closer. “TI do not think I am justified in consenting to an expenditure for such a wasteful purpose,” add- ed Hedge, eyeing the dog with complete disfavor. “You are perfectly preposterous!” said Con- stance. ‘But scientifically “correct,” he replied imper- turbably. “I think I shall have to ask you to dis- pose of the dog. I will endeavor to obtain the best price possible." “Price! For my dog! Do you think I would sell him at any price? “I should certainly advise it. In fact, I should be quite willing to credit the proceeds to your personal account.” Constance glared at him. “You are not possibly serious’ ~ “Quite.

OHN BROOKE, manufacturer of hardware, is well pleased with the way the Economy and Efficiency..Corporation has stopped the leaks in his business and effected a saving of many thousands of dollars through the introduction of efficiency methods. In @ conversation with the president of the corpora- tion he throws down a challenge to the latter when he remarks that “there is one thing you can’t reform, the dusinesg of running an Ameriean household.” The Eff- clency Expert takes him up. Brooke departs for an extended business trip and at the Brooke home there appears a young man who introduces himself as H. Hedge, Efficiency Engineer. and the servants. The household consists of three spotled children, Constance, Alice and Billy, The introduction of efficiency methods begins. The butler is told that he takes too many steps between the dinner table and the sideboard; the efficiency man announces, when he discovers strawberries on the table in December, that there- after he shall purchase all food; he informs Billy and Constance that they must go to work and Alice that she must walk to school, and as if this were not enough, he calmly tells the now thoroughly angry children that their allowances are to be cut. —_—OOOCO_— are a thousand and one trtvial sources of expense in this household. “Tl am chceking them as I encounter them. Al- though none may be great tn itself, the effect of each is to inculcate wasteful habits and destroy a sense of true economic values, while the total expense of all is a very considerable sum. I am here to do my duty by your father.” “Do you know that my father gave me this dog?” inquired Constance triumphantly. The efficiency man did not seem abashed. ‘I am not concerned with the source of origin of any given thing in this house,” he said. “I merely consider it as a desirable or necessary part of the establishment.” “Suppose my father had given me a St. Bernard or a Dane instead of a Pomeranian?’ observed Constance with fine scorn. “Do you Know how much §t. Bernards eat?” ‘'T have never had occasion to inquire, but I p.esume I could readily learn,’’ answered the ef- ficiency man so gravely that Constance was un- certain whether she was being treated seriously. “Well,” she said, “if you ever attempt in any way to interfere with my dog—mine, understand—lI shall immediately get several very large dogs and establish them in this house. Then you will have -) 4 y “It? repeated Matilda in an awful voice. a chance to find out exactly how much they eat. The idea! Why, even you will have to admit that Demosthenes is more economical than a Great Dane!” “Probably true, Miss Brooke. Nevertheless,-if you persist in keeping this animal, I shall ask you maintain it out of your allowance. I am not justified in permitting it to draw supplies from the general account,” Demosthenes, who had been eying the efficiency man with obvious disquiet, at this instant voiced a small growl. “And by the way, Miss Brooke, I have observed a large aquarium in the conservatory, in which are a number of goldfish. While these fish are also nonproducers and are of a quite useless type, not being edible, what I chiefly criticise is the fact that there is a steady flow of water through this tank night and day. “At an estimate of half a gallon per minute, this tank is consuming 720 gallons of water per day. Do you know that this house pays for water according to the meacurement of a meter? That tank alone is consuming over 260,000 gallons of water per year! It cannot be permitted.” “Indeed? And do you Know what my father will do if you attempt to get rid of it?” Hedge shook his head indifferently. “He will probably kill you,” said Constance calmly. “Those are his goldfish. They are his hobby. He breeds them; he.shas developed several new types. Why, he has teen offered as high as £100 for a single specimen!” “He took it, of course.” “Most certainly not. But he has presented sev- eral specimens to the public aquarium and to sci- entific societies.” “IT am glad you mentioned the matter,” said Madge, making a memorandum. “I shall at least feel justified in disposing of a sufficient quay to defray the cost of water and food.” “You try it!’ said Constance significantly as she turned her back upon him and walked away with Demosthenes. Fifteen minutes later, behind the locked door of her den, Constance and Demosthenes were en- gaged in a most curious rehearsal. Ata given sig- nal Demosthenes, with ever increasing readiness, would how! plaintively, Ne on his side, roll over on his back, indulge in @ brief simulation of agony, and then become perfectly still, counterfeiting a dead dog. The signal was the word “Hedge,” hissed sibilantiy. Yet Constance realized that the resetle of De- mosthenes and the gallant stand in behalf of her father’s goldfish were but a poor offset to the assaults of H. Hedge against household happi- ness. She unburdened her soul to Matilda. “The wretch!” she cried. “He says Demos- thenes is not efficient. All ‘he talks is efficiency— or what he says is efficiency!’ Think of it, Ma- tilda! He says he eliminated 26 lost motions in laying a brick pavement.” ttl = ella ioe ——_—— Be “It’s improper,” said Matilda. “And he says he showed a department store how to save 18 minutes in delivering each parcel.” “The—the rascal!” “And he showed them how to serve coffee and cakes in some restaurant so that they saved nearly a cent a cup.” “It’s sinful!” “And something about carpet- tabke-ntle, dear, Y forgot exactly what. Something about saving 36 1-5 seconds in making each tack.” Matilda stiffened and became rigid. “It’s immoral,” she affirmed earnestly. “And” Constance paused for breath. “And he says we do not co-operate!”’ “God forbid!” said Matilda. “He Oh, oh! I can’t bear it!” “What has he done, deary?’”’ “He has stopped our charge accounts!”’ Matilda gasped. She dil not fully realize the enormity of the offense, tut it was something ab- horrent to her mistress, and that was enough, “It! That is Miss Connie’s dog!’? “We can’t charge anything any more,” wailed Constance, “unless we go to him first and tell him what we want, and have him make out a re- quisition. And if it costs very much we can’t have it at all.” “We shall perish,” said Matilda gloomily. “He has been telephoning to all the stores, tell- ing them they won’t be; paid unless we fill out regular forms. He calls it standardization.” Matilda winced and flushed. hear such a horrid word in the mouth of her mis- tress, even though it was but a quotation. “Standardization!” repeated Constance, “That's more efficiency. The beast!’ Down fn the library, however, He’ ge was peace- fully oblivious to the commotion in Constance’s boudoir. He was studying a photograph. He had found the picture in a drawer of the big mahog- any desk. The serene, gray eyes of Constance looked out from it. Under it was written: My little girl. The efficiency man recogrizes the bold hand- writing of John W. Brooke. He studied the pho- tograph for some minutes, and finally slipped it into his pocket. “A rather good sentiment, succinctly expressed,” he observed. But.there are sentiments—and sentiments. H, Hedge came upon another one. In a moment of inspiration that morning, under the burden of a thought that the Brooke children falled to’co- operate inthe scientific management of their domicile, he wrote on a sheet of paper: A house divided against itself shall surely fall. He had pinned the sheet of paper against the wall, being eminently pleased with the quotation. When he next looked at it another line had been added, in a hand that was unfamiliar to him, yet distinctly masculine; The line read: A house subtracted from its bank-roll has al- ready fallen. He folded the sheet of paper and placed it in his pocket, next to the photograph. “Bill is trying to slip me a sarcastic remark,” he mused. “But I like the old man's stuff better.” CHAPTER VIII. A Question of Keys. T was early morning in the living-room al- lotted to the servants of the Brooke house- hold. But the efficiency man was there. He: was always early. He was viewing with all the fervor of a crusader a strange engine that had been affixed to the wall, As he stood worshiping it Mary, the cook, and Elvira, her assistaat, entered, on thelr way to the ‘cessity, of course. It shocked her to: kitchen. Of Mary it is useful to know that she had been employed in the Brooke family for 18 years. She was a short, sturdy spinster of middle life, loyal, opinionated, bellicose on occasion. El- vira, being youthful, was less colorful. “Ah.” said H. Hedge. “I was waiting for you. Observe this. Each morning you will insert a key in this clock—so. It registers the time at which you assume your duties. Each evening, when you have ceased work, you will duplicate the opera- tion.” '*“Fur the love av” “No,” interrupted Hedge, “for the purpose of recording the exact number of hours and minutes you have worked during the day: In this way, after possibly a week, I shall be able to determine accurately just how many hours are necessary in the performance of your duties. I shall then fix a stated schedule of hours, to which you will closely adhere.” Mary studied the clock with close attention, and then made an equally careful scrutiny of the ef- ficiency man. “I’ll punch no clock,” she said. “But I think you will.” “I’m thinkin’ ye’re wrong, young man,” she an- swered dispassionately: “Eighteen years I've wurruked for Misther Brooke, and for the missus before she died, God rest her. I punched no clock for the missus, and I'll punch none for yes. I've no time for foolishness or palaverin’. Why should I be standin’ here ivery marrnin’, wastin’ me time on a crazy clock, when there’s wurrk waitin’ me in the kitchen?” ‘It may very easily result in reducing your hours of work,” observed Hedge. “Am I complainin’ about me hours? Whose business are me hours, except me own? Is anny- body kept waitin’ for breakfast?” “That's not the point? What I am trying to get at’ ‘Don't thry,” interrupted Mary. “’Tis useless. I’m a settled - woman, respectatle an’ sober. Are ye takin’ me fur wan of thim foolish facthry gurris, with ivery spare penny goin’ on their backs, that I’d be punchin’ a clock marrnin’, noon, an’ night? An’ you, Elvira” Mary turned upon her assistant with a baleful look. “I'll have none av this nonsince, from ye, ayther. There'll be no clock punchin’ for you nor me.” Elvira was silent, but apprehensive. “There are the keys,” said the efficiency man, laying them on the table. “It’s punch the clock or no pay.” “No pay!” echoed Mary, her voice rising. “Listen, me little man: I’m paid be the month, on the firrst. I’ll be paid on the firrst av nixt month, if God spares me. Mr. Brooke niver” “As Mr. Brooke is away,” broke in Hedge, “and as I am the only person in this house authorized to pay bills or wages—in fact, the only person able to—you will see the necessity of obeying my orders. I have full authority to pay, hire and fire.”’ “Fire, is it?’ shrilled Mary, her chin thrust forth. "You'll be firin’ me, thin? Fire away, for all the good ye'll git av it! There's no man livin’ excipt Misther Brooke, cama fire me. Mind thot, now!” “If you mean that you cannot be ejected from the house,” remarked the efficiency man evenly, “you are quite mistaken. I should regret the ne- But I shall insist on an ob- servance of rules.” “Rules!” repeated Mary, “Rules, an’ rigula- tions! ‘Tis rule this an’ rule that. "Tis ‘Walk this way, Mary; it saves shtips.’ ‘Tis ‘Write this in a book, Mary; I must know the price. av coffee an’ tay.’ "Tis ‘Fill out the card, Mary; tis need- ful fur me to keep thrack av yer conduct.’ An’ I'm writin’ in books an’ fillin’ out cards whin ‘tis me that should be cookin’. An’ ye’ve got Elvira thot crazy with litherary wurrk that the dishes shtand without washin'’. Thim things have I done for ye, Misther Hedge—thim things, but no more! I'll walk in me own way as lohng as me ould legs carry me. An’ Elvira, do ye be Walkin’ as the Lord intinded, dacint and contint. An’ we'll. punch no dommed clock.” “The clock will “Please remember.” An efficiency man, instaNed with full authority to recognize human activities, always wins, That is one of the fundamental laws of efficiency, So it happened that H. Hedge won in the matter of the time clock. He was not, however, aware of his victory until 8 o’clock.. At that hour he was seated in the din- ing room, and the three Brookes were also at table. “You may serve, Horace,” said Constance. “Breakfast is not ready, Miss Brooke.” “Not ready?’ “Not cooked yet, miss.” The voice of Horace was unemotional, but there was a meaning in the glance he bestowed upon Hedge. 7 The efficiency man, without a word, rose from his place and went downstairs to the kitchen. It was empty. He ascended the back stairs and entered the servants’ living room. Just inside the door he paused and listened to the sob-choked voice of Mary. “Thry it agin, Elvira. ‘Tis shame an’ sorrer an’ the work av the divil, but thry! "Tis an hour gone now an’ no kittle on the shtove. Haven't ye the thrick av it yet? Don’t be answerin’ me, but thry. I've thried until me fingers are achin’ an’ there's no sinse In me head. “Thry, or I'll be fired.

An’ what would Misther Brooke say, comin’ back an’ findin’ a sthrange woman feedin’ the poor darrlin’s? "“Thry it agin, ye fool! Are ye thot clumsy? Here; give over the key, an’ I'll thry it mesilf. May the divil fly away with a clock iike thot!” . But the devil did not fly away with it, despite the earnest prayer of Mary Monahan. Instead, he backed out of the room and made his way back to the dining hall, where the three Brookes were in whispered consultation with Horace. “Where is our breakfast?" demanded Billy, ris- ing at the entrance of the efficiency man. “Apparently it is on the knees of the gods,” an- swered H. Hedge placidly. “Are they eating it?” Hedge tgnored him and turned to the butler. “Horace, do you understand anything about « time clock?’ “|—er—lI've seen them, sir.” “Don't say ‘er’—it’s meaningless.” “Very good, sir.” : “Can you punch a time clock?” “IT think so, sir.” “There ta one in the servants’ hall. Go out and punch it, in behalf of Mary and Elvira—for this time only. Hereafter they will punch it them- selves,” “Yes, sir.” be punched,” said Hedge. The efficiency man took his seat at the table and smiled blandly at the three Brookes. They did not smile at hi. “What's all this stuff about a time clook*’ de- manded Billy. “It concerna the servants.” “It concerns us, {f we can't get anything te eat.” “Be patient.” “Patient! Say, Mr. Efficiency Engineer, 'm as patient as anybody—but I'm hungry. So is Con- nie. So is Alice. We want breakfast.” : H. Hedge viewed Billy Brooke with a glance of ill-disguised pity. “A little fortitude,” he counseled, “is a rece site part of character. _Cultivate it" . “Oh, fine! But a little breakfast has got forti« tude beaten by 10 lengths. I want my grub.” “Imitate your sister; she is not complaining.” Constance turned a scornful glance at the effi-+- clency man. Her morning gown was particularly charming} the flush in her face even surpassed it. H. Hedge carefully noted both. “If I omitted to complain,” she satd coldly, “7 do so now. This ts abominable!’ “And you?” inquired Hedge, turning to Alige. “It’s flerce!” The author of the time-clock was in wih 3 dismayed at the discouraging attitude of’ three Brookes. “A slight temporary inconvenience,” he said, “will resukt in a pérmanent benefit to us all. I am putting this house on a business tesis. As soon as the servants are accustomed to the new System there will not only be an absolutely prompt service of meals, but all other funvtions ac- and helé her there = was coulda later The three will be performed with fidelity and accuracy.” | “I want my strawberries,” enapped Alice, “Prunes,” ree ane H. Hedge. “This is prune day.” Alice made an teal grimace. “You're @ prune yourself,” she said outleniy. “Alice!” It was the voice of Constance, who felt that the colloquy was becoming undignified. The entrance of Horace diverted the attention of the efficiency man. “Did you punch the clock for Mary?’ he asked. “No, sir.” “Why not?” “Er—I beg pardon, sir. Mary will not anew me to punch the clock, sir.” H. Hedge frowned. “Had my orders, didn’t you?’ “Yes, sir: but” Horace coughed and shuffled his feet. “But what?’ “Well, sir, you see, Mary is—er—beg pardon, Mr, Hedge—but Mary’—— Horace paused again. “I would like to ask, sir, if you are well quainted with Mary?” . “I do not yet enjoy that honor.” “Then, sir, perhaps you will not understand, But Mary—well, Mary says she will punch the cleck herself, sir, or it will not be punched at all,” “Send Mary here!” Horace disappeared quickly, » The three Brookes exchanged glances an@ Be~ came expectant. When Mary entered the dining room her sous face was moist with perspiration and ber arms were folded resolutely across her ample bosom. “Is the clock punched yet?” asked the efficiency man. “"Pis not.” | a “Do you know how?” reer “I do not.” “I sent Horace to punch it for you, for this morning only. He says you refused to allow him to do so. > “! até,” “Why?” Mary took a step forward and came to a eec- ond halt. Her cold, blue eyes met the glance of the efficiency man without a quiver. “Me little man,” she said, “’tis ye thet towld me I'd be punchin’ the clock mesilf. An‘ againat the hour I ptnch that clock there'll ‘se no treake« fast. The rules an’ rigulations are none ay my makin’. ‘Tis ye yersilf inyinted thim. An’ ri have no Englishman butler tellin’ me how I'll be puttin’ a key in a time-clock. No, nor no Bye- talian furnace man, ayther.” H. Hedge viewed her without emotion, but the three Brookes were displaying lively interest. “I did not ask Giovanni to help you,” remarked the efficiency man. “An’ 'tis a mercy for him. I’ve done me own wurrk in this house for 18 years, Misther Hedge, an’ no odds from annybody since I had the lum- bago, three winters gone. ‘Tis not me put the clock in the house.

ISIMONDS EXPLAINS GREATER STRATEGY OF ALLY OFFENSIVES Continued From Page One, in this case the British wedge was fixed on the Monchy Hill, rising out of the Douai Plain, the strongest po- sition for miles around, and one flank was practically covered by the Scarpe River. In any event the German tactics failed promptly. They could not regain ground and they could not break the sides of the wedge. Two days later they had shot their: bolt. Widening the Wedge. j Meantime the Briti8h tactics were plain. It was esential to widen their wedge at once.: Thus they began at- tacking out from the sides of the wedge even before the Germans had given over their attacks aimed inward. By the end of the first ‘week of the battle the Germans were beginning tq retire along the sides of the wedge; it was becoming wider and wider at the apex until we reached the present situation, in which the wedge has entirely disappeared and eI net ee bye tere” .. watt tt gota?

When the British penetrated the German lines as far as Monchy they had in front of them at the point of their wedge only the last Ger- man line, the Drocourt-Queant line, of which one hears s0 much, But it was quite impossible for’ them to continue their attack through the very nar- row gap they had cut in the German Support line, the Oppy line. As for the Germans, since their Drocourt line was still incomplete, it was neces- sary for them to hang on to the vil- lages and to the fragments of the Oppy line still in their hands and by counter-attacks on Monchy and elsewhere hold back the attack upon the Drocourt line to the last mo- ment. Here is the story of the four weeks of the battle of Arras. Today the British are again operating upon broad front parallel to the Germans and more than four miles, in points more than five, in advance of their Théir old wedge has dis- appeared: they can now safely mass guns and men in the conquered area without fear of flank attacks; they are about in a position to make upon ; the Drocourt line exactly the same sort of attack they made four weeks ago upon the old German front be- fore Arras. Lens Will Fall Soon, In such an attack they have the advantage of facing weaker positions, speaking only of the topographical elements. There is nothing like the Vimy Ridge before them in the Dro- court line. They have the further ad- vantage that the new German line necessarily lacks the perfection of construction that two years and a half of occupation made possible for the other front. On the other hand, they have not now, as a month ago, the advantage of surprise; the Ger- mans know where the blow is to fall and are able to mass men and guns against it. Meantime the position of the Ger- mans in Lens has become precarious; sooner or later, the Germans will draw out of the city, which they are holding mainly for the purpose of de- stroying the adjacent coal mines, When Lens falls then the new front will run straight.from Loos all the way south to Croisilles and with but little curving, right down to the French battle ground, north of the Aisne. Ac- cordingly, any further British progres will begin to open a new wedge right into the last German posSition, and eight to ten miles of advance, less than twice as much as has been made the last four weeks, will threaten the whole German center and compel it to withdraw to‘the frontier. This is the larger strategic conception of the British attack. The French Operations. Now turning to the French operations far down on the other flank before Rheims: The German retreat has been on a front from before Soissons to the environs of Arras. All along this front there could be no immediate attack >e- cause of the destruction of roads. But just before Arras the Germans and French faced each other in lines that nad endured since 1915. Just east Oa Soissons the German line crossed the Aisne in front of Fore Conde, then re- mounted to the north along the Craonne Plateau, the summit of which, crossed by the famous Chemin-des-Dames, was in German hands ali the way to Cra- onne, where it ends. But the French held the lower slope of the Craonne Plateau north of the river, and the Ger- mans at Fort Conde were in a rather narrow salient. East of Craonne the German line turned south . toward Rheims and rested wvon four old forts situated on commanding hills in a semi- circle about the town. From these forts the town was steadily shelled. East of Rheims the German line took a due easterly course and rested upon the Moronvilliers hills, Mont Carnillet, Mont Haut and Mont Sans Nom. French Two Advance Between Salieuts. This German positon, from Soissons to the Moronvilliers Haights, resembles the lettter ‘“‘W,”’ with the halves represent- ed by the salients toward Soissons and toward Rheims. ‘This fact dominates the French strategical conceptions. Ac- tually the Germans held two salients penetrating deeply into French lines. A French advance between these two sa- lients on the Craonne Plateau would still further narrow them, while an attack upon the Moronvilliers Heights, if suc- cessful, would narrow the Rheims sal- ient still more. Accordingly, the French attacked, April 16, upward toward the summit of the Craonne Plateau, eastward between the Craonne Plateau and Fort de Bri- mont and finally northward upon the Moronvilliers Heights. The immediate effect of the attack was far less considerable than that of the British. The Frer.ch did not imme- diately master the Craonne Ridge. In fact, after three weeks they have only just taken Craonne, but they advanced so far that the Germans at Fort Conde and south of the Aisne had to clear out. They pushed a wedge right up to Fort de Brimont above Rheims, and still fur- ther to the east they took the Moron- villiers Heights. ‘ salient about Laon is becoming awk- ward. Laon is within reach of French artillery and is slowly being encircled Even more serious is the situation of tha Germans in the forts before Rheims, of which Brimont is the most northern. Here the French have drawn a narrow- ing loop, and it is clear that a little more progress eastward between Cra- onne and Brimont and a corresponding progress a little more to the northward from the Moronvilliers Heights wit! compel the Germans to quit the forts above Rheims and the whole Rheima salient. But such a withdrawal would affect their line all the way to the Argonne, and perhaps to the Meuse, and compel a retreat on a very wide front. Such a re- treat, too, would mean the further ex- tension of the circle about Laon and lead certainly to an ultimate withdrawa’' from this salient. If the French, having taken Craonne, can also take Fort de Brimont. they ‘will have inserted a wedge between the Germans about Lao: and those before Rheims, a wedge re- calling that which the British drowe in at Monchy, in the Arras battle.

A Large Objectiv in gum, the French conception is this by driving’ north and east between Laon and the forts above Rheims to force the Germans to draw out of both | ons. Ir addition, by attack east of s, they are threatening the Ger- Mans in the Rheims salient on the othor side. A very little further progress east and west of the forts of Rheims wiil cértainly compe! a local German retire- ment from Rheims, and any loca! retire- fient would eventually involve the whoie German front from the Olse at La Fere to the Argonne or even to the Meuse below Verdun, ‘The French, as the Germans said is thetr official statement when. the battle began, are aiming at a far larger im- mediate objective than were the British a im their attack. They have, moreover, a far wider field over which to operate, _ @nd it is certain that it will take them much longer to reach a decision than Were the British in getting Vimy Ridge and the positions about it. But while the British advance, even if it pierces the new Drocourt line, may a be held up before Douai and on the line of Lille-Douai-Cambrai-St. Quentin for a long time without compelling any large change in the German front, the French cannot make any further mate- rial progress without forcing the Ger- mans into @ new retirement on a very wide front and with consequences which must be exceedingly interesting and cheering to the French. ~ Germany Secks Decision on Water. But again it is necessary to recognize the facts. The Germans are now seek- ing a decision not on land, but on the water. They are trying to fight a de- laying battle in France in the belief that the submarine will win the war. Hence, if they are able, under pressure, to draw back successfully to the line of the Meuse, keeping their armies intact and destroying communications as they go, they may succeed in postponing a mili- tary decision in the west for the present year and end the campaign still in pos- EE F NR EN Oe A ANS RIO ACN TE getnion of Gi) 6 takai’ and the ‘tans district of France. On the other hand, if they are forced to retreat under immediate pressure, it is conceivable that the retreat will lead to disaster. This is always a possibility in retreats. It is a greater possibility now that the German army {s manifestly weaker in morale than two yeare ago, when its retreat from the Marne was a marvel of military effitiency and soi- dierly achievement. Summing up the facts of the two allied attacks, it is worth while recalling once more that the allies, through the refusal! of the German center to fight, and its retreat, were forced to fight on the flanks. They are making real progress on both flanks, and on both flanks there are situations developing which may compel a general German retirement. But neither on the British nor on the French front has the decisive moment been reached, and we have yet to wait for some time, perhaps for several months, before it will be clear whether there has been a vietory in the larger gense, proven by a general German re- treat, or merely various Jocal gains, re- vealed in the capture of considerable territory and many thousands of pris- oners and many hundreds of guns. We are at the beginning of a campaign, and for the allies it has opened well: but it would be extremely easy to exaggerate the gain to date, for this gain can be decisive only if it proves to be the foundation for other gains in the near future.

Because butter fat alone, of all commercial fats, is available for human consumption without first killing the animal that produced it. Because no other palatable food has such a high percentage of lecithin—the growth-producing ele- ment—a property which comes only from the living protoplasm. Hence, beside butter, all other commercial fats are “dead.” Because butter fat alone, of all commercial fats, possesses a volatile substance which aids and promotes digestion. Because butter gives to every other article of food-with which it is used its unequaled appetizing flavor and its great energizing properties. Because no other palatable food is as productive of energy as butter —3,400 to 3,600 units per pound. The human system demands 3,000 to 4,000 units every day, or 90% of its total food needs. Because it is the only palatable food that has no waste or prepara- tion expense. Almost all other foods have from 50% to 75% waste in di- gestion or preparation. Because butter meets so com- pletely the requirements of a perfect civilized food that world maps show- ing areas of highest civilization and of greatest butter production prac- tically coincide.

ELSAH, Ill., May 12.—Peace is mo longer being waged here. All efforts to establish a coalition ministry have failed and the war party is now firm- ly intrenched. Elsah had been wag- ing peace with great success for many years and the sudden reversal of pol- icy is considered no less. startling than the Russian revolution. Noth- ing but a victorious war will now meet Elsah’s demands. This change in front is especially gratifying to some of the older citi- zens. As nobody ever dies here, the town is all cluttered up with cente- narians. The competition has been so fierce that some of.the old boys think they might as well be in the trenches as sitting around half the day waiting for their turn on the mu- nicipal croquet grounds. While everybody here is enthust- astic about the war, only the younger fellows are now rushing to the colors.

Are you going to be included in this year’s tollf Why, you will exclaim, do so many die, why are the health authorities so concerned; the answer is, we bolt down our food, take no exercise, neglect our sleep and otherwise subject our system to all sorts of abuse. Is it any wonder then the kidneys become diseased and fail in their duties of poison elimina- tion? Poisons are constantly being created in our bodies and if the kidneys fail to carry them off they are absorbed by the blood causing i! health and misery in the form -eadaches, backaches, tired fecli: igestion, ete.

The nathes of the men at the head of the company have not yet been discussed but it is understood that they will be men of vary considerable prominence i: the motor car industry, and that every department of the organization will be manned by thoroughly experienced ex- ecutives. The development of the Dobie steam car has. béen one of the sensations of the motor car industry. The firet car. was displayed at the New York show in January. The in- terest created at that time was so tre- mendous that it resulted in an aval- anche of inquiries from all over the country. The better class of dealers everywhere showed a peculiarly keen interest in the new car, and there was immediately such a demand for terri- tory that the sales organization cover- ing the entire country was organized in an incredibly short time. This sales organization is now prac- tically complete. It includes, without exception, men who have proved them- selves to be marked successes in motor car selling. Actual signed contracts have already been reeeived for more than $12,000,000 worth of cars net value, and additional orders are coming in steadily.

In the metropolitan cities where style is a factor, there are thousands of Studebakers in daily use. In ratio to power, the Studebaker SIX is most economical in gasoline consumption.

Where people prove motor car value and quality by the continuous test of twelve months in the year service, they probably buy in greatest tires—Studebaker owners frequently get from 8,000 to 10,000. miles on a single set of tires. Studied accessibility reduces inspection, adjust- ment and repair costs to a minimum. Therefore, if economy is to be your watchword, buy a Studebaker. Buy it as an investment—not as an expenditure. If you want to sell it, or trade it in, it will bring a higher re-sale price in ratio to first cost, than most other cars.

His wife, Mme. Yvonne Leglaive has lived in St. Louis whfle he was at war, earning her own living. On the morn- ing of Aug. 6, 1914, he received a notice from the French Consu! directing him to report for military duty. “What shall I do?” he asked his wife, who had been in this country but a few months, and was unable to speak En- glish. “Go back to France and do your duty,’’ she said. Here is how a part of that duty was performed: Arrived in Time to Retreat. “Someone has said that the war is only a vast revolution,” he said. “That is true for nations as well as individ- vals. Since 1914 I have met with sur- prise after surprise, and the strangest of all is that I find myself again in the good city of St. Louis after 33 months of absence. And stranger still, I. have laid aside my gun to use the pen to write of my experiences in the horrible tragedy unfolding yonder in Europe. “It was on Aug. 6, 1914, that I left St. Louis, and the 24th when I arrived at Peronne, France, the depot of my regiment. Two days after, just having had time to dress myself out in my uniform, then blue and red and .offer- ing a superb target for the enemy, I was compelled, with all the soldiers of the regiment at Peronne, to. entrain precip- itately and flee from the enemy, before which the entire French army and the ‘miserable little English army,’ which has since become formidable, were beat- ing a retreat after the unfortunate bat- tle of Charleroi. “That is my saddest recollection of the war. We climbed into the train which was the last to leave Perrone, behind us coming the émgineering corps blowing up the railroad. Already along the roads could be seen the long lines of poor people fleeing before the invader, the more fortunate being in carriages with the principal pieces. of their fur- niture, and the more unfortunate fol- lowing along painfully, sometimes with children in their arms. We went to Ancenis, near Nantes in Loire Inferior. There the base was organized. “Tt was Sept. 9, the day of the be- ginning of the battle of the Marne, that I was sent forward to re-enforce a reg!i- ment. There were 400 of us, and in de- barking in a village of Haute Marne, we heard the news of the Sreat French victory. Pursued Turns Pursuer. “We had an opportunity to picture in our imaginations what this battle had We were forced to march four days before finding our regiment, which was participating in the chase of the German army. During these four days the rain never ceased day or night, and as we were passing through towns en- tirely destroyed by the Germans, such as Maurupt and Cermaise, we could find no shelter. Having no tents, as the Germans then had and we have now, we were wet to the bones. Several times I had to take off my shirt and wring it out, as we could not march all the time, and at night, stopping along the edge of the road, we tried to eat a box of corned beef or ba ey in the water. ‘The spectacle before our eyes as we marched through the country where this celebrated battle had been fought gave us, newcomers that we were, a clear conception of the horrors of the tragedy into which we were being drawn. “To console us, one of my comrades said that one could not make omelets 4 same 1 found that ‘there were a few too many to break. Of the houses of the villages through which we passed there remained standing only parts of the walle and the roads were bordered with the bodies of soldiers, already turning black. In fact, all the civil equipages had been requisitioned to bring to the, roadside the bodies of the men who had fallen at random on the field of battle. Afterwards came the carriages crossing our road, always filled with their dismal loads transporting them to the cemetery. “Y was struck by the pose of one dead | comrade. If his face had ot been black I should have believed him liv- Sitting under a bush, with his back ageinst the wail, one could see terday’s Poet-Dispatch. He is a native-| that at the moment he had received his mortal blow he was in the act of ban- daging his leg, which, no doubt, had received: his first wound. Only the memory of the heroic attitude of some of these stricken men enabled us to live over again the different scenes of that terrible combat. Army Fed eshasantly Then. ° “At last we joined the regiment at Cheminon, where, to reorganize and await us it had remained for two days. At that time the mounted kitchens were not in existence, and in the farmyards the soldiers made their soup in the largest pots they could find. “One could not believe, on seeing these men, that for more than a month, they had been in the thick of desperate com- bats, and had been forced to make a long and painful retreat, before they were able to advance. I was only necessary to see these brave soldiers, at this moment, full of good hunior, animation and joyousness, to understand that our country could never be con- quered. Here came an order of the day from Gen. Joffre explaining our victory, and citing the glory of all France. Deep joy was reflected in the eyes of all. “We resumed the march in pursuit of the retreating Germans. Along the roads and in the fields we could see abandoned munitions, great quantities of shells, thousands of bands contain- ing each 300 machine gun rtridges, tools, arms, demolished . automobiles, sometimes a quarter of beef which the ‘boches’ had not ben able to cook. Wounded horses were everywhere in the fields. Whenever we passed near a wood we could smell terrible odors indi- cating that there were great numbers of unsepulchered men and hotses in them. Everything indicated that the rout of the enemy was complete. “At one place we were told that the Germans had departed in ranks of eight. We thought the war was going to be ended by this victory, and every- body was filled with joy. But the sec- ond day our march was less rapid. “There were frequent stops. At length we arrived in sight of the dense forest of the Argonne and we could then foresee that the enemy was going to make a stand there. In one village we were told that we were only two hours behind the enemy, which had fled with all of his cav- alry and troopé. Nearly Caught the Crown Prince. “When we arrived at St. Merichould the battalion which was leading my regiment just missed capturing the Crown Prince himself (“Rabbit face” as he is Known to the French sol- diers), who had, without doubdt® re- served for himself the honor of being the last to retreat from the town, and who* in the Mayor's office, had. been enjoying a little fete. “But for the intervention of the Mayor, who warned the Crown Prince and helped him to escape, my regiment would have had the honor of capturing him. A% compensation for his treason, the Mayor was seized and immediately shot. “We arrived in battle formation at the foot of the Mountains of the Ar- gonne. The cannon began to grow!) loudly. Until now I had never heard the hissing nor seen the bursting of a shell. It was annouftced that my hun see with my battalion at the head, would attack Binerville on the crest, where the enemy was en- trenched. Those who were already skilled in warfare showed no excite- ment whatever and were perfectly natural, but as for me, I confess I was a little anxivus to know what was going to happen. Aftera painful enough ascension we arrived in sight of a giade in the edge of which we concealed Ourselves among the trees. From the scou@s in front there was a sudden fusillade and it- was here that I heard the bullets whistle for the first time. There were those who, ‘perhaps, paid no attention to this un- pleasant music, but for my part that, sharp and crisp hissing of bullets penetrated to the depths of my being. “T made my first salute to the bul- } lets here, my (Balute being a quick ducking of the head, byt since then f have heard so many of them that i weased to pay them the honor of saluting. poor little 75 guns, which, singe the beginning of hostilities, had spit out so many shells, had very few left for each piece, and that the artillerymen were reduced to the point of firing blank ¢artridges to meet the exchange of the enemy. In our company all the officers fell and an, adjutant assumed command of the 200 survivors, About 6 p. m, as night was falling, after different. little maneuvers and attacks, the order of assault was given. . Im- mediately the drums began beating and the musicians all along the line began to sound the charge. Every one stood heroically, With hearts swelling with hope, we rushed for- ward, singing. But our ardor was fruitless. We had to rush across a plain and through a small. wood, in which the enemy was entrenched. In crossing the plain several of my com- rades fell, killed by busting shells and rifle balHs. I had my canteen shot away by a fragment of a shell. “We penetrated the woods and en- gaged the Germans in hand to hand fighting, that fs, bayonet fighting. In a few minutes we found ourselves op- posite to a group of great devils, dis- armed, who raised their arms and cried: ‘Kamarades.’ While we par- leyed with them, for they told us that others were going to surrender if they were assured that their lives would be saved, a strong force of the enemy, taking advantage of the dark- ness, were surrounding the woods towards the side from which we came, and if our adjutant had not perceived the maneuver in time to give us the order to retire quickly, from that am- bush, I’ should have, from the begin- ning of the campaign, with 90 of my comrades, been eating the Kaiser's war bread. First Charge a Failure. “We had failed to take Binarville, and we had sustained heavy. losses. The Germans, outnumbering us two or three to one, had plenty of shells and we had none, On our left, to- ward the center of the attack, our success was much greater. Gen. Cor- donnier, now commanding an army in Saloniki. after having taken a gun with a bayonet from a wounded sol- dier, charged at the head of his brigade. “Forced to yield ground after the first attack, he ordered'a second charge, and fell wounded in the leg with a rifle bullet. He refused to be led to the rear, and drawing his revolver, he threatened to shoot the first man who retreated. But we were unable to retain our posi- tion in the face of greater German forces, and we commenced to dig our. selves into trenches to shelter ourselves from the enemy fire 200 méters away.* The Germans also dug themselves into trenches, and I believe that from that day to this the line has varied very little. “Pollowing this battle, during which I fired more than ®O shots, was chris- tened as a warrior, and became accus- tomed to all the usual) noises of com- bat, I felt myself ready for other things which happened soon enough. “There was disorganization in our ranks, men of different regiments find- ing themselves thrown together. If the ‘boches’ had not been in the same sit- vation, they surely would have attacked us during the night and cut us to pieces. After the clarions had sounded the ‘cessez le feud (cease firing) and the ‘ressembiement,’ if it had not been for the killed and wounded, many of the latter calling for help, we might have believed that we were in maneuvers. Each man began seeking out his own regiment. We felt a painful lack of of- ficers. With my section, I had to traverse at night the same road we had gone over during the morning, for sev- eral kilometers. Almost at every step, in the darkness, we either stumbled or actually fell into shell holes. Through out the night tain fell in torrents. ‘ “In our camper we tried to light fires, but cauld not do so. @ was overcome with fatigue, but With the emotions. of the day's ghee rupning through my “Now the artillery thundered louder.

Pig : B scti ing, just before daybreak, when we were reassembling to return to our posi- tions, 1 heard suddenly above my head a crisp and strange noise, which caused me to look upward quickly. ‘Therfe was a loud explosion, which warned me that what I had thought was a trail of aerial fire was a great German ‘marmite’ shell destined for our supply trains. There was a peculiar difference between it and the 77 German field gun shells, which we had been facing the day be- fore. “Shells of the same kind followed ach other so thickly, that we were soon under a dome of bursting steel. The supply trains could -no longer follow that route, and had to take a bad, circuitous road: It became neces- Sary for the soldiers to: help the con- ductors clear the road,and the horses belonging to my section were em- ployed to help haul the trains. “It was not until the approach of evening that we were able to remount the hills toward our new trenches. Each soldier, myself included, * was given a heavy load of food to carry to the company in the trenches. In addition to my haversack, I had to carry ten bundles of: bread. I felt at times that I should never be able to ascend the steep hill with my heavy load. Enroute, not having had any- thing to eat all day, I sat down and ate a pound of raw meat, not having had any chance to cook it. And al- ways the rain was falling. Fortu- nately the weather was not yet cold. I recall that we were ordered to make a change of places and sent to a deep ditch which, formed a natural trench. We remained all day and al! night in this place, with the* water up to our knees. We made a shelter of foliage from the trees, cutting off branches and intertwining them, which gave us a picturesque hiding Place, but no protection from the ele; ments. Our guns were in a sad state, and we fired them frequently to ‘as- sure ourselves that they were in working condition, and also to keep ourselves awake, because, under the great fatigue, I found, and others did also, that one could sleep very well even in the cold water. Some one hag said that appetite is the best season- ing for food, I belleve that fatigue makes the best bed in the world. And from that day I learned to do as the gendarmes do—sleep with one eye shut. German Ambush Destroyed. “During the night we had no alarm, but daylight brought the Germans, just as we were sending out our scouts. The wood was so thick and heavy that it was necessary to be right upon the enemy before he could be seen. “But we were in the same fortunate position. Thirty Germans came with- in 15 meters of us and fell into our ambuscade, hot one escaping. There was one wounded German who howled so loudly that it was necessary to put an end to his existence with the bayonet, as we believed that he was trying to warn his comrades of our position. “If I had known then that one day I should be permitted to return to St. Louis where souvenirs of the war are appreciated, I should have been able there to commefice the collection of helmets, guns, ete. but f satibfied myself with taking fro ma Gead Gers man soldier a superb pair of boots to replace mine, which were leaking badly.- At various times I received from captured soldiers their helmets, |} watches or other articles which they ) wisited to dispense as souvenirs among their captors.

It was not until some time later that 5 ad és | a. Ss : : : = , | a" lottanns Press aie ie ee the heavy German artillery enjoyed |= the pleasure of razing completely the | fa superb forests of the Argonne, with- “= « out, many times, forcing us to éevacu- ate our positions. However, there is @ rude cemetery in one corner of this great forest where numbers of my comrades repose, having been the victims of this artillery fire. Wounded in the Right Foot. “It was here in this forest a few weeks later that I received my first and only wound of the war—a bullet through the right foot as I was Making a bayonet charge upon Ger- man lines. I was sent back to the hospital, and owing to an infection of my wound, it was mofiths before I could return to the trenches. “When I left the front April 8 to come to St, Louis to see my wife and my friends, my regiment was in the Champagne. I could not keep from thinking that I was receiving a most Gelightful gift on Easter Sunday—per- mission to come back again to the good old United States. My. regiment was preparing for the great, offensive at- tack, since delivered, the first news of which I heard by wireless telegraph while I was on the ocean. From the beginning of my service in this regi- ment I had many friends, and I had to spend half a day telling these brave comrades good-by. I told them that I felt that I was an ingrate to leave them at such a serious moment, and that, for ‘ a little, I would remain with them and participate in the offensive. “They told me that I must be crazy, and that if they were In my place, they » would not lose a second in laying aside thelr arms and uniforms and starting on a furlough. “ *Wor the rest,’ they said, ‘we are do- ing nicely here. Our numbers are large enough to make quick work of the Ger- mans.’ In fact the last news received at front, while I was there, the Russian revolution and the declaration of war by the United States against Germany, had plunged the entire front into a de- lightful cheerfulness, and had greatly improved the morale of our army. “The last trip I made toward the front, in the Champagne movement, was very different from those I had been accustomed to making. In view of the approaching offensive, we made long removals. Here is what I wrote in my diary April 1 Slept as They Marched. “*T am worried at not knowing wheth- er I am going to get my furlough to go to St. Louis. However, that worry serves to distract my mind and to draw me into reveries of my voyage to America, which, I am sure, must be forthcoming soon. At midnight, March $0, in torrents of rain, we embarked in wagons @rawn by artillery horses and began to push ahead. All of our equip- rent was also loaded into the wagons. ‘Ve continued to move for 24. hours be- tore arriving at our destination. The following midnight, with the rain still falling in sheets, ‘we began to marvh toward the cantonnement, which we reached after a 10-mile hike. Some of us slept as we mechanically pushed for- ward, loaded like pack mules. What a pleasure it was, after having eaten a few mouthfuls of food, to throw my- self into the straw for an hour's sleep! Yesterday, repose—today, Sunday, we are cleaning up the camp grounds, which consist of a big barnyard, with stalls and stables. When the atables and stalls were cleaned, we made beds of fresh straw for ourselves, and were ‘goon as happy as the little Jesus fn the manger. . ~ “After the sort of.life I had been liv- ‘ ‘ing at the front, you may imagine tha c my voyage to America by steamer and rail was an enchantment. “T boarded the steamer L’Hspagne at Bordeaux, the day before the French commission sailed in a faster steamer. Our ship wag armed with two cannoe and was followed by an escort of 20 merchant ships while we were passing through the danger zone. While we were in this zone all safety precautions were taken, and we were ordered to sleep fully dressed, with e life preserver around the body. That order caused me no trouble whatever, nor the other 1) soldiers en furlough on board, for we never knew what it was to undress for sleep at the front. “In the open thefe was no danger. but when we were one day out from New York, we took the same precautions as on leaving France. We were told that during our last night on board the cap- tain of the ship discovered that he was being pursued by a submarine, and put on all possible speed to escape it.” ag Rare ghee I had to come to Amer.

MORNING, MAY 13, 1917. 7 Tgp OPERATIONS ON DIALA FRONT DELAYED BY A MIRAGE Werld-Old Conditions Still FPiay a Part tn Campaign in the Far-East. CAIRO, May 1.—“Operations had to be temporarily suspended owing to a mirage,”’ says an official communication from the Diala front, describing a minor strategic movement there. It is a reminder that, despite modern war inventions, there is at least one front er eat where wold-old conditions still play a dominating part. Thirst, heat and mirage are among the most important factors to be considered in Far Eastern campaigning, just as they were 20 cen- turies or more ago. Although the why and wherefore of the mirage is better understood now than then, the British troops in Sinai and Mesopotamia have frequently been held up and mystified by the vision of lakes and trees, just as were the sol- diers of Joshua or Alexander. On the occasion referred to in the communication, the mirage was of | minor character, preventing reliable reconnaissances. On a similar occasion some time ago, it produced the effect of the appearance of big Turkish rein- forcements whidh necessitated caution until their phantom character had been established. Mirages seriously interfered with Na- poleon’s Egyptian campaign, and it was due to the investigations of a French scientist who accompanied that expedi- tion that they were first traced to tricks, of atmospheric refraction.

OPERATORS SAY THEY EXPECT Ble PROFITS ON COAL —_ a Illinois Dealers Frankly State They Will Obtain Best Prices They Can. CONSUMER IS BLAMED High Prices Are the Result of Them Bidding Against One - Another, It Is Declared. Operators in \the Illinois coal fields, which virtually are the sole source of St. Louis’ supply, yesterday after an announcement was made that the price of soft coal delivered in the St. Louis railroads would be increased tomorrow from $8 to $3.25 per ton, frankly stated that they expected during the next few months to make big profits. They said that coal can be mined at a cost of $1.2 per ton, and that they expected to obtain for it what they could get, a price which they admitted the- present outlook ‘indicated would steadily advance from the present range of ast" to $2.50 at the mines. ay Profit Is Legitimate. The pone MA contend tat the exces- sive profit is legitimate and that they are entitled to it because, they say, they have sold coal below cost for three years. They also contend that the prices are not fixed by them, but by the con- sumers, who, they say, are bidding against each other for every ton of coal which can be delivered. An investigation of the coal trade has been begun by the Federal Trade. Commission, which last week heard testimony from representatives of Illinois operators. Congressman Dyer several days ago introduced in Con- gress a resolution asking for a Con- gressional investigation of the sitla- tion, and Attorney-General Gregory has stated that the Department of Justice will ask for the indictment of many operators on charges of com- bining to maintain prices or control the output of coal. Attorney H. A. Gleich in the Chemical Building has offered his services free as prosecutor. A Post-Dispatch reporter interview- ed several operators, wholesalers, re- tail dealers and railroad men on the coal situation. Have Chance to Make Money. “I’ve been in the coal business 380 years,” said W. 8. Scott of Ferguson, ‘president of the Missouri-Illinois Coal Co., Railway Exchange Building, one of the big Illinois Operators, “‘and in the next five years I expect to make some money. Why not? For several years the operators have lost money; now they have a chance to recoup. We can pro- duce coal at the mines for $1.25 a ton if we run full time; the price we are get- ting at the mines today is $2.50. “Prices seem high partly because in the past coal prices were too low. Last year we sold coal at the mines for % and 90 cents a ton which cost $1 to mine. Coal was too cheap before. ‘In the East last year there was an increased consumption amounting to 73,500,000 tons. These increases were dis- tributed as follows: iallroads, an ir- crease of 10,000,000 tons; cotton mills, 4,000,000 tons; new factories, 15,000,009 tons; munition plants, 20,000,000 tons; ex- ports, 4,500,000 tons; coke, 10,000,000 tons; and automobile factories, 10,000,000 tons. In consequence the East is draw- ing on the mines of Ohio, Indiana, I)li- nois, West Virginia and Kentucky. We are for the tirst time getting inquiries from dealers in Louisville, Memphis and the like, normally supplied by Ken- tucky. “The shortage of coal cars is a most gerious factor, as it prevents us from operating the mines at full capacity. The Terminal Association’s coal contracts expired April 1, and it sent letters to the operators asking bids. The Termi- nal uses 40 to 4 carloads a day. Nota single bid was received, the operators not being willing to tie themselves up while the car situation is so unsettled. “Pactories 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 got a raise of 26 cents a ton. Powder has gone up from $1.16 to $1.80 a keg; rails have increased from $20 to $45 and $50 a ton; spikes have increased from $2.25 to $11 a keg. 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 price,” he asserted. “Since last Oc- tober coal has been at auction, the purchasers—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 $2.25. “There is a grave deficiency of coal ears, which compels the mines to run on short time. On Wednesday 2. out of 7% Illinois mines were running only two to six hours, instead of the normal eight hours. Of these 7% mines, 16 had. no cars at all. Brewster asserted that the Coal Op- eratore’ Association of the Fifth Dis- trict of Tiinols, with offices in the Fullerton Bullding. of which he ts pres- ident. ig not an ofganization of overa- tors for the purpose of fixing prices and controlling production. The association's sole function. he asserted, is adjudicat- ing @ifferences with union labor. Joseph D. Lumaghi. 66% Berlin ave- do not set the : nue, secretary of the Lumaghi Coal Co.. the mines and § per cent railroad fa- making nothing out of the increased cost another operator, when asked the cause of the present high price of coal, re- plied: “We have 100 per cent efficiency at in a nut- cilities. That's the answer shell.” Retailers Blame Operators. Coal dealers seen by a reporter, while admitting that the operators are under additional expense of production, assert that the increase is not sufficient to justify the prices charged at the mines. These retail dealers declare they are to the consumer, and that their profits are less than when the price of coal was low. “The mine operators are openly say- ing,’’ eatd one of the biggest of these dealers, “that “We are paying all our old debts this year.’ I can see no ex- cuse for the present high prices, and consider them an outrage on the pub- lic. Eighteen months ago 7 per cent of the Illinois operators were bank- rupt. Now they are planning to get rich in a hurry.” John Cannon, general superintendent of the Missouri Pacific and Iron Moun- tain, said, when asked about the short- age of coal cars: ‘‘There is always a shortage of coal cars at this season, and it is aggravat- ed, this year, by the demand for coal from the North and Northwest. West Virginia and Kentucky coal, which used to supply this Northern and Northwest- ern demand, is now being shipped to the Atlantic coast, and the North and OS 0 —e Ce AOE et oe Northwest are Gate | more hanvtiy on our field of supply. “Our line has the cars to meet about 7% per cent Of the present demand. We are loading about as many cars as we were this time last year, but the demand is sO much greater that we are unable to meet it. Apparently buyers are stocking up on coal. “I expect some relief to come from the meeting of the National Car Service Commission, now being held in Washing- ton. This body, I hope, will order the Eastern lines to send us some empties.” Liquor Dealers te H port The Liguor Dealers’ als me t Aseo- ciation, Council No. 1, will hold their regular meeting today at 2:30 p. m. at 200 South Broadway, when reports from the State and national conventions will be made by the delegates. : >| $12 Linoleum Rugs, 9x12 Se a = Boys’ $4.00 Suits Made in the latest models of Norfolk and pinch-back styles; sizes 5 to 17; real $4.00 value ee ee.

Part of the side of his face was torn away, his eye was dangling down over his check, and his nose was partly gone, and I didn’t recognize him at first when } went up to him. He oegged me to give him morphine, first. Then he got to his knees and pleaded to be shot. “For God’s sake, Zabriskie,” he kept repeating, “shoot me.” I helped lift him in our lifeboat when we were taken off, and he kept beg- ging me to kill him all the way over to ‘the raider. | “Abandon Ship Immediat ely.” The German finally gave us the “M. N.,”" the signal to “abandon ship imme- diately,”” and we scooted for the boats without having time to get any personal effects together or additional clothing. Capt. Sargent and Chief Officer Phew were the only members of t crew to get away with their belongings, and even Mr. Moore, second officer, got into a boat like the rest of us, as he stood. He had three shrapnel wounds in his leg, having been hit?’ when one shot struck the bridge. Gellicoe, the appren- tice, who had been at the wheel when the first shot struck, and had been turned completely around and thrown to the floor, tried to chop one of the boats loose that had been jammed, but gave it up and crowded into another al- ready overloaded boat. I was in boat No. 2, in only my underwear and an ul-| ster which I was lucky enough to save. Wecame away.in all styles and degrees of clothing. One horseman saved a pair of trousers, nothing else. Quite a few were without shoes, the majority with- out overcoats—and it was December, in open boats and freezing. We knew we were in for it. At no time had we been able to send an S. O. 8., as the German operator had jammed our wireless be- fore the firing began. A launch then put out from the raider, a number of Germans boarded the Mt. Temple, dumped the accumulator itn the wireless room, took what ship’s papers were left—we had thrown the main pa- pers, leaded, overboard—looted the cab- ins and then placed bombs set with time fuses in different parts of the ships to sink her. Our Dead Go Down. We were in the bdoats an hour when a launch picked us up and towed us to the raider. It took four hours to sink the Mt. Temple and when she finally went down, with Gilbert and the Nor- wegian sailor, mangled and torn, and dead, still aboard, we were on the deck of the German, watching. A number of horses managed to get clear before she sunk and we saw them swimming about, some in circles and two straight for the raider. I saw one horse, badly wounded, swim about quite close to us and then suddenly drop from sight. The two horses making for us were shot by the Germans as they came near. The French-Canadian, with his foot still dangling by a ragged piece of skin, was attended to by a German ship’s surgeon, a smart, skillful man, but Baker died aboard the raider the next day. The rest of us were given in the coal bunkers and on the poop deck. After that first night aboard the raider we began to realize what German warfare anad efficiency meant and knew that we were in the clutch of the Prussian mailed fist, help- less on the high seas and bound for Kingdom Come for all we knew. The raider was a ghost ship. She never showed an outside light. The electric lights were adjusted so that the instant a door opened the light In that room went out. The few neutrals were ‘allowed a little freedom and were identified by white bands tied to their arms, but the instant anything was sighted on the sea or the wireless pick- ed up a message from approaching ship, we were locked down in our quar- ters and remained there, huddled and shivering, in the stinking, foul air in the blackness. Shivering Prisoners. The following day. Dec. 7, locked in we felt the ship swing sharply and then heard several dull booms. It was the disappearing guns. A little later the bulwarks dropped. We heard the dull banging along the sides and knew there was another victim. It was the Cambria Range. Her crew was crowded in with us, their ship gone to the bottom. Next day the same thing occurred. We heard the dropping bul- warks, the scurrying above, and more shivering, half clothed men were piled into our quarters. .The King George it was, this time. The following day it was the Dutchess of Cornwall, a sailing vessel from Newfoundland, with fish for Gibraltar. Sunday, the 10th, it was the Georgic, out of Philadelphia, with 1200 horses, cotton and ofl. It was 7:30 in the morning and I was up on deck when they were Waiting for her to sink. She refused to go down and the raider swung a torpedo tube out and ended the business. We could see the streak the torpedo made, hitting the surface of the water several times, as she zipped through and hit the Georgic. That meant 140 more men, the Georgic’s crew, for our already putrid, crowded quarters. We steamed about for two days without getting a vessel, and I had an opportunity to see something of this ghost ship. She was the Moewe. She had eight disappearing guns, two in the rear, two forward, two at the No. § hatch, cne each at No. 1 and No. 6 hatch, together with four torpedo tubes, two each on the starboard and port sides. She was painted black, had no name on her and there were evidences that she might be either the Puyme or the Moewe, both names appearing on arti- cles in different parts of her. The second torpedo man aft, a _ stocky, fierce looking German, intimated that she was the Puyme, and many of the prisoners in the coal bunker seemet to think so. But she was the Moewe, all right.' A German, an ordinary sea- man, told me so. Youngenge, his name was, and he gave me a cigarette and this information as we stood talking near the engine room. He was a tall, straight man, with a black beard and he kept ‘ingering the lettering on his belt which all the Germans have an) which spells “Got Mit Uns,”’ as he spoke in broken English On a Long Journey. The Yarrowdale was baxged the 18th and we were taken aboard her and put under a prize crew from the Moewe. The prisoners now included the crews of the ships sunk while we were on the raider, the crews of the Voltaire and Holberg, already aboard the raider when the Mt. Temple was sent to the bottom and the Yarrowdale. It was a motely mob. Sailors, horse- men, stokers and officers from almost every clime and port were herded be- low and jammed together. Several Arabs were picked out and made to help stoke the ship. The prize crew from the Moewe were picked men and meant business, and let us know it dale, the Moewe had sighted two other vessels, but had to let them go and we knew then that we were in for a long journey to some port. Lieutenant Berg, in command, verified this later. “You are going on a long, cold journey, but will be landed in a safe harbor,” he said, “if any ally battleship doesn't send us to the bottom.” Berg was as fine a looking specimen of man as I’ve ever seen. He spoke perfect English He was a trim built straight chap, a ‘trifle cocky, as most of those German officers were, with a Van Dyke beard and cold, snapping eyes. He looked like efficiency, plus, and bit his words off short as he spoke, yet he was cour- teous and suave in manner. Berg was right. The journey was long and it was cold. The trip lasted 18 days.

Spaniards, French-Canadians, English, French, Americans, we huddled in our quarters In the dark, half clothed, shiv- ering, and dirty. The cold was bad enough, the dirty sleeping quarters were worse, and the food was vile. We thought the food on the Moewe was bad. They gave us fat-backs and some canned stuff there. It was worse on this journey. But even here, foul and little as it was, we had still to learn what really rotten food is. We learned that later, in the German detention camp. The Crazy Officer.

We turned south from Iceland and came along the coast of Norway. After passing Bergen we knew we were bound for no neutral port, but were being taken to Germany. The last day out, Yahride, a gunner of the Georgic, and Yenssen, quartermaster, quietly gath- ered pieces of wood together, fastened them in some way and made a break for shore. They got the improvised raft safely into the water and were several hun- dred feet from the Yarrowdale before their absence was noticed. Badewitz was the first to miss them. He swore and raved and had the searchlight flashed over the sea, but hadn't picked them out, when one of the men, Yenssen, seeing the flashes, gave a yell. The two were pickeg up and dragged on deck. The Germans then beat, cuffed and kicked them, handouffed the pair and put them in solitary confinement. Swinemuende was reached Dec. 3ist, and it ended the sea irip. We landed there New Year's day, an unkempt, dirty, grotesque crew, glad to be off the reeking quarters of the ship. But our troubles had only begun. We ex- pected better food and mos of it. We got worst and less. 1 was put in the officers’ camp, but the treatment accorded the men was the same _ in both barracks. It was bitterly cold, there was no heat and the quarters were wooden shacks, hastily thrown up. One-third of a loaf of bread and a amall piece of blut wurst was the day’s ration per man. I inquired of an officer the next day when the neutrals would be released. I said I was an American. He laughed and swore in German. We were kept at Swine- muende until the fifth of January. At 4 a. m. on the fifth we were taken from the barracks and told we —e e eO ever Setting gies getting glasses.

There wasn’t a warmly-clothed pyris- oner.in the lot. I wore @ suit of thin underwear, shoes, trousers and my ul- ster. I had no socks, overskirt or coat beneath my ulster, but was conmpara- tively fortunate. Three horsemen stood in the snow waiting in their bare feet. A Spanish stoker was elothed in only a suit of underwéar, one boot and one shoe, and a cap. Shivering, undernourished, a number of the men sick, a few still suffering from wounds received from the raider, we finally boarded the train. At Alt- dam we each received a dish of rice. It was our breakfast and dinner, It was near midnight when we reached Neustrelitz, with the thermometer at 13 degrees below zelow and the ground cov- ered with ice and snow. One of the men, with socks, but no shoes, com- plained that he couldn’t walk. His feet wereturing black, frozen from the exposure, and later one foot was ampu- tated.” The barracks were unheated, but we.did receive two blankets each—soak- ing wet, from the snow. I felt exhaust; ed and weak from lack of rest and foo/, but when I got under the wet blankets found I wasn’t tired enough to sleep. I walked up and down the barracks until I fell, entirely exhausted, and then at last, in spite of the cold and damp- ness, I got to sleep. The food given us was merely re- cooked garbage with a little bread. Rot- ten as it was, there was so little of it that it wasn’t long before we were glad to eat all we could get of it. Occasion- ally we had turnips, a small portion for a day’s ration, and sometimes a black mixture of water and boiled berries or decayed herbs called coffee. We were getting weaker and thinner each day, almost visibly. A ship’s doctor told ms that if that kind of fare was continued it was impossible for a single man to exist over six months. -He said that there was so little food value in what little food we received that a half year’s time would see every man dead of slow starvation. | The fifth day there, three of us, a Spaniard, Norwegian and myself—we thought it best to have neutrals do the talking—protested “to one of the officers about the meager rations. We told him it was starvation by inches. He was courteous, but explained In very good English that it was impossible to im- prove things. I told him he evidently didn’t realize the conditions. Some of us were neutrals and we were being starved. He smiled. ‘‘You are now in the hands of the German Government,” ‘he said. ‘“‘We are under orders from Berlin. These orders are absolute and cannot be changed except by Berlin.” He smiled again and walked away. The smile made me shydder. We were in the iron clutch of the Prussian mailed fist. The intense cold continued. Some of the prisoners, without shoes, others without trausers, and most all without heavy coats of any kind, were already half dead, \They would lie, numb and in half stupor,\in the barracks for 24 hours at a time, too weak to take exercise to keep warm. We did finally receive a. few articles of clothing, taken from dead Russian prisoners. Zero Weather Exposure. At last we got word to prepare to leave Neustrelitz. We had been there a month. It seemed like a year. We neu- trals were happy. One chap went partly /out of his mind and became hysterical. | We felt sure we were to be released, but , it was a vain hope. On Feb. 5 we left for Karlsruhe and arrived there the 8th. We were on the train 53 hours, there was no heat in the coaches, and almost no food was given us. The Karlsruhe concentration camp— Fe arrived there at 3 p. m.—had the same conditions as the Neustrelitz camp, | except for one thing. We were provided | with excitement at Karlsruhe, and didn't have to wait long for it. | On the second night we heard steam sirens blowing and screaming. It was the signal for the people to rush to the cellars. For Frenchmen wére mak | ng an air raid and had begun dropping _ bombs, The sirens weren't meant for ‘us, however. We had no cellars to go | to. In fact, we learned that it was the railway station the Frenchmen had been |after repeatedly and that the detention camp had been moved near the station ias a sort of protection to the latter. ‘The German logic was naive—if the air- ‘men knew there were allied prisoners near, they might not try to get the sta- tion, and even if they did, the prisonere were more apt to get the bombs than the station, the camp was so much larger ‘and there were so many more of us to | set. ; At intervals the sky brightened with ' flashes from the airmen’s rockets, which | were sent with the bombs to show where the hits were made, and the alternate potions of the bursting bombs and the anti-air craft guns played a duet that threatened to become a dead march, The bombs burst with a dull, booming sort of sound and air guns encored with a sharp, barking sort of noise. For raids occurred when we were in the camp, and three men were injured and one was killed. The Germans were giving us every chance to meet our Maker, and must have figured that if we per- sistéd in living in ‘spite of the food and the bombs, it was our own fault. I was repeatedly trying to get word to the American and British Consuls, attempting to get interviews with: the commaff¥ant of the camp°and writing letters almost daily. The letters were never sent. ._But on Wednesday, Feb. 21 ‘the commandant sent for me and I went to his office in the barracks. The commandant spoke with only a slight trace of accent. He was a cav- alry officer, had been wounded in the right leg by a saber slash and walked with a limp. He stepped to the table, , spoke to one of the two young Germans, both in uniform, there, in German, and then addressed me in English. Theret was a stenographer, a woman, who must have weighed 20 pounds—I wondered what kind of food she was getting—and an interpreter, an arrogant Prussian who looked like a Frenchman. The Commandant explained that he thought the neutrals were going to be released shortly: said he had been in communi- cation with Berlin and gave me a glass tt Dr. Snyder of Atianta, Ga, from the Voltaire; Dr. McKim of Watertown, N./} miyself, and « Norwegian officer—ltett Karisruhe. First Real Meal in Months. We left Wuenemunde, on the German }border between Germany and Denmark. and crossed the ferry to Gedse, Den- mark, on the 2tth, in neutral tersitory, out of the clutch of the iron hand of Germany, at last. At Gedse we went into a restaurant for our first real mea] in months. While waiting for our orders to be cooked, we other feod when it was brought our famished condition is was too m for us.

This is because, he says, the people of St. Louis are not acquainted with the life and conditions of these people and for that reason Americans do not appreciate the difficulty of the new Americans in getting in touch with our ways. He says that we should feel differently had we at some time stood helplessly in some foreign country, not able to speak the lan- guage. Industries also, he said, can do much to stimulate- Americanization of immigrants. What Mr. ter Braack would like to see above anything else is the abol- ishment of the “foreign colonies” in St. Louis. The district known ag “Dago Hill” is a typical example of how people from one section of the world have come to the new world and instead of being assimilated have clannishly con- eregated together and formed their own city within a city. This was,not contemplated, Mr. ter Braack says, when, back in the ’80s, the United States threw open her doors to the people of the whole world. It has taken the entrance of the United States into the war to prove that these people are intensely loyal to this country. in two weeks more than 200 men of Bohemian birth enlisted in the United States army in St. Louis and many more are enlisting. In two days 19 Rumani- ans became members of Battery A. Croatians, Albani- ans, Greeks and scores of men from the Slavic and Latin nations have given up their vocations to follow the flag. Three weeks ago Mr. ter Braack attended a play pre- sented at the Croatian Educational Hall, 1441 Chouteau avenue, by foreign-born residents of St. Louis. For more than a year these men and women, who are em- ployed for the most part in St. Louis factories as wage earners, had been rehearsing. The, first thing that im- pressed Mr. ter Braack was the perfection with which the people depicted an incident which occurred cen- turies ago. He found real histrionic talent there. But he carried home with him the memory that the Croatian musicians who furnished the music for the oceasion did not play one native tune. They gave only “The Star- Spangled Banner,” “America” and other American airs. The principal difficulty Mr. ter Braack has found in extending a welcome to the United States and St. Louis to immigrants has been in obtaining a sufficient num- ber of volunteers, men and women, to work among them. The first thing they crave when they arrive in this country, is a welcoming hand and a smile. Next, they want to learn the language. Inasmuch as virtually all of them must obtain work in order to live, this is a dif- ficult problem. When the facilities of Mr. -ter Braack’s department were exhausted some months ago, a group of young foreigners clubbed -together and rented a flat on the South Side, where they congregated three or four times a week to study English. One of the Y. M. C. A. charges, a young married man, came to Mr. ter Braack and said that he would like to have his wife learn sewing in order that she could make her own clothes and those of their children. A group of girls and young women have formed a piano class, but they are sorely in need of instructors. ‘Here is an opportunity,” Mr. ter Braack said, ‘for the clubwomen of St. Louis te accomplish some : real good. Many women have come to me and asked ‘What can we do?’ My answer always has been, ‘Go in these communities and you will find out.’ It is not necessary to know the language, for a smile and an indication of being willing to help can be communicated in any language.” Mr. ter Braack is a sort of buffer between young foreigners in St. Louis and discour- agement. One of them, who makes heels in a shoe factory, came to him one day and complained that he felt that he was nothing but a laborer and that he was accomplish- ing but little in the world. Then Mr. ter Braack carefully pointed out to him that he tion of that plant. “that the entire factory would heels, for the man who sews the soles on the uppers would be unable to do his part in turning out the finished product if no heels were to be had. He went back to work with a different idea of his importance in that establishment.” “It ie for this reason,” Mr. ter Braack con- tinued, “that I want to arouse the business men of this community to the needs of the foreigners. I have recently suggested what I call an employers’ co-operative plan, in the hope of working out a plan among indus- mare ter Braack. tionship between employers and employes. It is an established fact that we do not trust a man before we know him and we think more or less of him as we learn to know him better. This same principle is true with respect to employers and em- ployes. The latter will have a high- er“esteem for the employer through manifestation of good will. “It is acknowledged by all lead- ing men in the industrials that some way must be devised which will bring operatives and employes in closer touch with each other, to come to a better understanding. One of the first steps brought out to help solve the problem has been the safety movement. The lunch coun- ter or simply a serving of coffee or milk is another fact of thoughtful- ness of the employer to the employe and is appreciated. In differences with the foreman or superintendent regarding their working conditions, employes ought to feel that the way ig open for them to aprpoach the president or general manager of their company.when they cannot reach an understanding with the officials mentioned. “When a company does efficient employing it will greatly cut down its labor turnover. Industries not having an employment department to take charge of all the employment work ought to educate their foremen or department heads who take charge of employing help for their departments. These men should be good judges of the physical and intellectual ability and fitness of the applicant. Industries should have application blanks An immigrant wanted his wife to learn to sew. filled out by every employe, stating age, whether they bave any persons dependent upon them and if they are foreign born. The addresses of the men should tf? verified, they should state what nationality they are, how long in this country, whether they read and write English, whether they are naturalized; if not, if they have first papers and how long, and if they could have been nat- uralized before, why they did not apply for it. “Insurance for employes, either life, accident or both, paid in full, as some industries do, or in part, is proof of good will. An advisory board, made up of the best men, foreign and native, with officers of the company Sere. am bition, thrift-and saving give. a promt field to work in during the noon hour. Helping an immigrant to choose his vocation. to direct, wiN render a service the importance of which cannot be measured in a few general statements, as the field of usefulness will widen with every meeting. “Monthly meetings of foremen and superintendents, with a definite program for each meeting, is one of the essential things in modern industries. These men have had a too indefinite idea about the general pol- icy of the company and have in some cases caused great losses instead of constant increases in the operation of their departments. The companies would do well to have their policies laid before these men im a definite form; plans of employment, handling of employes, in fact,-all such discussions that will bring to the atten- tion of these men that they are spokes in the wheel and that the wheel that is well put together has its spokes tightened in the hub as well as the rim; that the tire fits the wheel to hold it together in perfect shape. Many men do not grasp the. importance of their positions in the organization of the company, which makes it necessary for them to have a definition convincing them of their important relation to this unit. “Education of employes is a question of vital impor- tance. First, with foreign born, to guard their lives in the industries and protect those depending upon them. We ought to request foreign-born men to learn En- lish and become citizens after they have been in the country a certain time. Many of them will readily re- spond when the opportunity is brought to them, but most of them fail to go after it because of their inabil- ity to make themselves understood. “Morals, ambition, thrift and saving give a great field to work in during the noon hour, in five to twenty min- ute talks. This is done in several industries in this city and has met with the approval of employes as well as employers. The attendance at such talks, in industries employing from 300 to 350 men, have run as high as 200.”” Whenever Mr. ter Braack has an opportunity to come into personal contact with a young immigrant, he helps him to choose a vocation. “I hand him,” he declared, “a list of all the trades. and professions I can think of. Then I tell him, ‘Now, Pietro or Hans or Miguel or Josef,’ or whatever his name is, ‘take this list home with you and study it ac- cording to my directions. If the word at the top of the list is ‘‘machinist,” sit back and think about that trade for a long time. Think, not whether you would like to follow that trade for a year, two years, five years, -or even 10 years, but try to make up your mind whether you would be happy and contented to do that kind of work all.the rest of your life. Go all the way down the list, and when you have picked out the work you think you can do best, come back here and tell me about it.’” Since the Industrial Department of the Y. M. C. A, was started, many thousands of immigrants have been met at Union Station by persons working under the di- rection of the department. In less than two years this number was 23,106. Of these, 20,109 Were rendered a definite service and 2369 have remained.in St. Louis. Of this number 222 were aided in obtaining employment. In one winter 27 English classes were conducted under the auspices of the department, in which 343 men were enrolied. Several, who were unable even to read and write their own language, have learned the use of every- day English. Classes are conducted in foreign clubs, boarding houses, public libraries, barber shops, bedrooms, a doctor’s waiting room, a foreign chureh, the Y. M. C. A. and even in saloons. But, according to Mr. ter Braack, the field has scarcely been touched. In this connection, Mr. ter Braack does not belittle the work which the night schools are doing for the in- struction of the immigrant, especially in learning the English language, but in his opinion it is not properly organized. He believes that instead of be- ing thrown together indiscriminately they should be divided into three classes—an ad- vanced class consisting of those who read and write their own language and who have a smattering of English, so that they can make themselves understood by speaking brokenly; a secondary class consisting of those who have a knowledge of their own language, and the primer class, or those who ean neither read nor write either their own language or English. In the first three months of this year 11 English classes, three citizenship classes, one Sunday school class and one piano class were conducted by the Y. M. C. A. Industrial Department. Foreigners have been aided in obtaining their first and second papers, shop talks have been made at noon, motion pictures have been provided, entertainments arranged and family visite made. In all, 1029 persons have been aided one way or an- -other. - Nearly 2000 persons attended the various classes. On account of the war, few immigrants are coming into St. Louis now. In Decem- ber, 1913, when Mr. ter Braack took up his work, the average number of immigrants passing through Union Station in a month was about 2100. Now the average is from 23 to 26. Im December, 1913, 265 of the num- ber who passed through became residents of St. Louis. In January, 1917, seven remained. De a eae Ao ae RS UP se SPORE 2g" 2, 2, aes aS -

R Hn eo REE any ; a 97 Years Old, bu St. Louis business man tells how he built and maintained a powerful physique through the space of nearly a century—Sleeps well, eats heartily of all wholesome food, exercises daily and never worries— Performs difficult feats in local gymnasium to demonstrate his claim to being “the best man” of his age in St. Louis 3 : NTRODUCING Alexander Baptiste, 97 years old, citizen and business man, who arises at 6 a. m., goes through.a half hour of physical culture stunts; supplements the average man’s & k- fast with three to five eggs, gets to his. ce of business at 8 o’clock and performs & day's work; who possesses a grip so strong that po- licemen on the beat decline to grasp his extended hand; 98 years old and still hale and hearty, with a capacity for work equal to that of the man two-score years his junior, a citizen with whom time has deak so kindly that there appears to be no end to his endurance. The way of the simple life is the road to longevity, is the rule of Mr. Baptiste, and this means mild physical exercises in the morning, eating plenty of wholesome food, temperance in all things and giving the night to rest and sleep, not to fatiguing pleasures. Mr. Baptiste is proprietor of the Alexander Baptiste Tent and Awning Co., 612 North Third street, and is at his place of business every working day of the year, getting over the three-story building by way of the stairs as often as occasion demands, which is sometimes frequent. For 68 years he has pursued this daily rou- tine, and now declares himself, with the enthusiasm of youth, ‘‘still on deck and full of business and interest in life.”’ One who desires to live happily and long should never meditate upon the accumulating years as enemies of life, he warns, for to do so would be like spending a happy hour by sorrowing over its end before it had quite be- gun. Mr. Baptisté is a tentmaker, and, like Omar Khay- yam, the romantic Persian philosopher and tentmaker, believes the least we can do to get the most good out of life is to “make the best of what we yet may spend, before we, too, into the dust descend.” Mr. Baptiste lives with his wife at Lackland and Walton avenue. He has been twice married and had four children by his first wife. He was born in Athens, Greece, the son of a furrier, At = ga ere Athletic and a Giant in Stren an early age he went to seaand [4 became a sailmaker. In 1849 he tame to St. Louis and entered the employ of Pierre Chouteau, who conducted a steamboat trade with the Indians. In 1851 he was left at Fort Pierre, 8. D., to help de- fend it- against Indian attacks. For two years he carried on a trade with the Indians for buffa- lo robes, and fought with them when necessary to defend the fort. During those stirring times, he relates, his physical prowess saved his scalp on many occa- sions in hand to hand combats with the redskins. Returning to St. Louis he en- gaged in the tent and awning business, in the neighborhood in which his present factory is lo- cated, and soon became well knowrr for his feats of strength. At one demonstration, for the benefit of friends, he raised 1200 pounds dead weight from the floor, he declares. A@ that time he weighed about 200 pounds and was 5 feet 6 inches tall. This weight he retained until a year ago, but vigorous exercises last fall and winter reduced him to 165 pounds. “So -much weight was becom- ing too great a burden to lug around,” he explained, ‘and not being as strong as in my youth, I decided to take it off. I reduced about 30. pounds, and now feel mueh better and can go _— my work with more snap.” Mr. Baptiste today has few gray hairs. His sib has a healthy glow and he is otherwise remarkably well: preserved considering his age. His son, George, who is engaged in business with his father, formerly was a champion wrestler. He is 51 years old, but retains his fine athletic physique. When asked how he compared in his youth with his: son for physical strength, Mr. Baptiste replied. “George, at his best, was a mighty man, but I do not want to run him down. It is only natural that he should inherit some of my strength, you know.” During his long business career Mr. Baptiste made friends of many policemen who walked the beat along Third street, and claims acquaintance with at least a score. He always has a cheery good morning for the officers. “But,” he added, “I never can induce one of them to : shake hands with me.” ¥6 There’s a reason for this reluctance to clasp his hand, as those who have had that experience well know whatever his many years has caused him to lose, Mr. Baptiste still retains a powerful grip, which he delights to exercise on his young friends, particularly on police | officers. “| inherited my physique from my father,” Mr. Bap- tiste stated. “He was a powerful man and was well known in Athens as an athlete. Then my years at sea, during my youth, tended further to strengthen my viahe ity, and with the hard work which usually falls to the lot of a sailor, f had opportunity further to develop: natural strength. ; ow =rations with ‘the boys.’ These things tend to hasten the inevitable end. So have I avoided associates who could not make me feel the better for knowing them. “Old age is the period of life when one is called upon to pay off the debts of the folly of youth. I believe the nervous, palsied old man who suffers from insomnia could trace his condition to some misstep earlier in life if he cared to accuse bimself. I have seen many men lose ihe battle of life—men I knew in youth to be more or less indifferent to the laws of nature-—break down and pass away in the 50s or 60s, con- vincing me that we cannot hope to escapé retribution here on earth for infractions of these laws. ~“True, I have the advantage of some by ors were doing 80 I contented myself with retresh- sound body, but what is good for me Fac ing sleep, the greatest ences ia ape LY MAGAZINE- “ST, LOUIS POST- CH- (Conti RS RES ta linia pe ate seeder or

Reeve OU’VE heard of such things as cancer houses, I suppose, Prof. Kennedy?” It was easly in the morfiing and “This is a most unusual case,” commented Craig thoughtfully, as Lionel went over briefly the family history. “If it can be authenticated that this is a Craig’s client, Myra Moreton, as she cancer house, I am sure the medical profession will be introduced herself, had been waiting at the laboratory “door in a state of great agitation as we came up. “Well,” she hurried on as she dropped into a chair, “that is what they are calling that big house of ours ‘ gt Norwood—a cancer house, if there is such a thing.” Clearly, Myra Moreton was. a victim of nervous prostration. She had asked the question with a hectic eagerness, yet had not waited for an answer. “Oh,” she went on, “you do not, you cannot know, what it means to have something like this constantly hanging over you. Think of it—five of us have died in less than five years. It haunts me. Who next? That is all I can think about. Who next?” Her first agitation had been succeeded by a calmness of despair, almost of fatalism, which was worse for her than létting loose her pent-up emotions. Kennedy watched her sympathetically. “But why do you come to me?” he asked gently. “Don’t you think a cancer specialist would be more likely to help you?” “A specialist?” she repeated with a peculiar hopeless- ness. “Prof. Kennedy, five years ago, when my Uncle: Frank was attacked by cancer, father: was so foolish as to persuade him to consult a specialist whose advertisement he saw in the papers, a Dr. Adam Love, on Forty-second street, here in New York. Specialist Oh, I’m worried sick every time I have a sore or any- thing like this on my neck or anywhere else.” She had worked herself from her unnatural calm almost in hysterics as she displayed a little sore on her delicate white throat. “That?” reassured Kennedy. “Oh, that may be ‘ ncthing but a little boil. But this Dr. Love—he must be a quack. No doctor advertises’’—— “Perhaps,” she interrupted. “That is what Dr. Goode interested, for they seem to be divided into two camps on the question!” “Authenticated?” hastened Lionel. “Well, take the records. First, there was my Uncle’ Frank, who was father’s er in the factory. He died just about five years at the age of 51. That same year his wife, my Aunt Julia, died. She was just 48 Then my other aunt, Fanny, father’s sister, died of cancer of the throat. She was rather older, 54: Not quite two years afterward my .cousin, George, sonof Uncle Frank, died. He was several years younger than I, 29. Finally my stepmother died last week. She was 49. So, 1 suppose we may be pardoned if we believe that it lurks in the house.” . . sR We had come down the wide staircase into the li- brary, where we joiged Myra, who was resting on a chaise-lounge. “I should like very much to have a talk with Dr. Goode,” suggested Craig. : “By all means,” agreed Myra eagerly. “I'll go over to his office with you. It is only next door.” “Then I'll wait here,” said Lionel, rather curtly, I thought. I fancied that there was a coolness between Lionel and Dr. Goode and I wondered about it. Across the sparse lawn that struggled up under the deep shade of the trees stood a smaller, less preten- tious house of a much more modern type. That was where Dr. Goode lived. We crossed with Myra through a break in the hedge between the two houses. As we were about to pass between the two grounds, Kennedy’s foot kicked some- thing that- seemed to have rolled down from some rub- bish on the boundary line of the two properties, piled up evidently waiting to be carted away. Bt ‘out at Norwood tells me. But father has faith in him,® Craig stooped casually and picked the object up. It even has him at the house sometimes. I cannot bear the sight of him. Since I first saw him my uncle, his wife, another aunt, my cousin have died, and then, last week, my—my mother.” Her voice broke, but with a great effort she man- aged to get herself together. “Now I—I fear that my father may go next. Perhaps it will strike me—or my brother, Lionel—who can tell? Think of it—the whole family, wiped out by this terrible thing. Can it be nat- ural, I ask-myself? Is there not something back of. it?” “Who is this Dr. Love?” asked Kennedy, more for the purpose of aiding her in giving vent to her feelings than anything else. “He is a New York doctor,” she reiterated. “I be- lieve he claims to have a sure cure for cancer, by the ‘use of radium and such means. My father has absolute confidence in him—visits him at his office and, as I told you, even has him at Norwood. In fact, they are quite friendly. So was Lionel until lately.” ‘What happened to shake your brother's faith?” asked Craig. athine, I imagine, except that Lionel began think- ing it over after someone told him about cancer houses. You must admit yourself that it is—at least strange. | wish you could see Lionel. He knows more about it than I do. Or Dr. Goode. I think he has made some kind of test. He could tell you much better than I ean all the strange history. But they don’t agree— Lionel and Gafl. Oh—it is more than I can stand. What shall I’-— . She had fainted. In an instant I was at her side, helping Kennedy bring her around. “There, there,” soothed Kennedy several min- utes later as her deep eyes looked at him appeal- ingly. “‘Perhaps, after all, there may be some- thing I can do. If I should go out to Norwood with you as soon as you feel better, wouldn’t that be all right?” | “Oh—will you?” she cried, overjoyed. SIf you would—how could I ever thank you? I feel bet- ter. No—don’t-stop me. I’ve been living on nerve. I can do more. Please—let me telephone Lionel that we are coming.” It was scarcely an hour before we were on the train and in.the early forenoon we were met by her brother at the station in a light car. Through the beautiful streets of the quaint old Connecticut town we rode until at last we stopped before a great stone house which had been the Moreton mansion for several generations, It was a double house, a gloomy sort of place, surrounded by fir trees, damp and suggestive of decay. ~ Darius Moreton, her father, happened to be at home to lunch when we arrived. He was a man past middle age. se as Myra introduced Kennedy as interested in cause and treatment of cancer, and especially in the tracing down of a definite case of a-“cancer house.” “No,” he shook his head grimly, “I’m afraid it is heredity. My friend, Dr. Love, is the only one who understands it. I have the most absolute confidence in him.” He said it in a way that seemed to discourage all argument. Kennedy did not antagonize him by disagreeing, but turned to Lionel, who was a rather interesting type of young man. Son of Darius Moreton by his first wife, Lionel had gone to the scientific school, as had his father, and, grad- wating, had taken up the business of the Moreton family—the manufacture of optical goods—as a matter of cotrse. Myra seemed overcome by the journey to the city to see Kennedy and, after a light luncheon, Lionel undertook to talk to us and show us through the house. SUNDAY Pee Pra was a queer V-shaped little porcelain cone. He gave it a hasty look, then dropped it into his pocket. s Dr. Goode, into whose office Myra ted us, was a young- ish man, smooth-shaven, the type of the new generation of doctors. He had come to Norwood several years be- fore and had struggled up to a very fair practice “Miss Moreton tells me,” began Kennedy after we had been introduced, “‘that there is a theory that theirs is one of these so-called cancer houses,” be The doctor looked at us keenly. “Yes,” he nodded, “I have heard that theory expressed—and others, too.” I was watching both the young doctor and Myra. She had entered his office in @ way that suggested that she was something more than a patient. A glance at the solitaire on Myra’s finger convinced me. They were engaged. se “You don’t believe it, then?” asked Craig quickly. The. young man hesitated and shrugged his shoulders. “You have a theory of your own?” persisted Craig, determined to get an answer. “T don’t know. whether I have or not,” he replied non- committally. “Ig it that you think it possible to produce cancer artificially and purposely?” shot out Craig. “I’ve heard of cases,” Dr, Goode ventured finally, “where X-rays and radium have caused cancerous growths. You know several of the experimenters have lost their lives in that way—-martyrs to science.” I could not help, somehow or other, thinking of Dr. Love. Did Dr. Goode refer indirectly to him?

But was he a scientific villain? . ‘Phat may be true,” pursued Craig relentlessly, evi- dently bound to draw the young man out. “But it is, after all, a question of fact, not of opinion.” Myra was looking at him eagerly now and the doctor saw that she expected him to speak. It was more pres- sure than he could resist. : “I have long suspected something of the sort,” he re- marked in a low, forced tone. “I’ve had samples of the blood of the Moretons examined. In fact, I have found that. their blood affects the photographic plate through a layer of black paper. You know red blood cells and serum have a distinct power of reducing photo-silver on plates when exposed to certain radiations; In other words, I have found that their blood is, apparently, ra- dioactive!”’ Myra looked at him aghast. “If that’s the case, who would be the most likely person to do such a thing?” shot out Craig. “I wouldn’t like to say,” he returned, though we were all thinking of Dr. Love. | “But the motive?” demanded Craig. could there be?’’ : “Darius Moreton is very intimate with a certain per- son,’ he returned enigmatically. “It is even reported in town that he has left that person a large sum of money in his will in payment for his:services, if yau call them so, to the family.” He had evidently not intended to say so much and, although Craig tried in every way, he could not get th doctor to amplify what he hinted at. | : We returned to the Moreton house. Kennedy appar- ently much impressed by what Dr. Goode had said. | “If you will permit me,” he asked, “I should like to have a few drops of blood from each of you.” “Goode tried that,” remarked old Mr. Moreton. “I don’t know that anything came of it. Still, I am not going to refuse, if Myra and Lionel agree.” Craig had already taken from his pocket a small case containing a hypodermic.and some little glass tubes. There seemed’to be no valid objection and from each of them he drew off a small quantity of blood. As he worked, [ thought I saw what he uad in mind. Could there be, I wondered, an X-ray outfit or perhaps radium concealed about the living rooms of the house? First of all, it was necessary to verify Dr. Goode’s observa- tions. We chatted a few moments, then took leave of Myra Moreton. “Keep up your courage,” whispered Craig with a look that told her that he had seen the conflict between loyalty to her father and to her Jover. " Lionel drove us back to the station in the car alone. Nothing. of importance was said by any of us until we had almost reached the station. “I can see,” he said finally, “that you don’t feel sure that it is a cancer house.” Kennedy said nothing. “Well,” he pursued, “I don’t know anything about it, of course. But I do know this much: those doctors are making a good thing out of father and the rest of us.” The-car had pulled UP. “I've got no use for Love,” the young man went on. “Still, I’d rather not that we had trouble with him. I'l) tell you,” he-added in a burst of confidence, “he has alittle girl who works for him, his secretary, Miss Gold- er. She comes from Norwood. I should hate to have anything happen to queer her. People used to think Goode was engaged to her before he took that office next to us and got ambitious. Father placed her with. Dr. Love. If it’s neces- sary to do anything with him, I wish you'd think whether she couldn’t be kept out of it in some way.” “T'll try to do it,” agreed Craig, as we shook hands and climbed on the early afternoon train back to the city. ‘ Kennedy’s first move was to go downtown 4o the old building opposite the city hall and visit the postoffice inspectors. “I've heard. of the Government's campai against the medical quacks using the matte” 6 said, when we at last found the proper inspector. “I wonder whether you know of Dr. Adam Love?” . “Love?” repea the inspector, O'Hanlon, who was in charge of the investigation which was then in progress. “Of course we know Love—a very slippery customer, too, with just enough science “ command to make the case against him dif- cult. | “I suppose,” went on O'Hanlon, “you know that in Europe the popular furore about radium and its applications appeared earlier than it did here. “What motive “I think Td Ii<e to visit the doctor’ and his museum hes ventured Kennedy. “Very well,” agreed O'Hanlon. “Our cases against ah (Continued on Page 9.)

[?’s all a question of not losing your head, declares “‘Todger” Jones, who has received the Victoria Cross and many other honors for his exploit —Just at the time when things were most serious for him he recalled a funny incident he had seen at a@ music hall and he was forced to lean against the trench and roar with laughter—His ability to shoot his rifle from the hip also helped to gethimthrough :: :?: HEN Private ‘“‘Todger” Jones, Cheshire Territorials, appeared before King George to be decorated with the Vic- toria Cross, that monarch, startled out of his royal dignity, dropped “into common human language. ‘‘How the dickens did you do it, Jones?’ exclaimed King George. The answer which Private Jones made to the King has now been related by ‘“‘Todger” to newspaper men in London, and the question expressed by King George and felt by thousands of other men on both sides of the Atlantic at last has an authentic reply. Just why everybody who ever heard of Private Jones wanted to ask him, “How the dickens did you do it?’’ may be learned by reading the following cold, matter-of- fact narrative which was published in the official London Gazette: “The Victoria Cross has been conferred upon Private Thomas Alfred Jones -(11,000), Cheshire Regiment, for most conspicuous bravery. He was with his company consolidating the defense in front of a village. and, noticing an en- emy sniper at. 200 yards distance, he went out, and, though one bullet went through his helmet and another through his coat, he returned the sniper’s fire and killed him. He then saw two more of the enemy firing at him, although dis- playing a white flag. Both of these he also shot. “On reaching the enemy trench he found four occupied dugouts and, single- handed, disarmed 102 of the enemy, in- cluding three or four officers, and marched them back to our lines through a heavy barrage. He had been warned another in the thigh. Peeping over the parapet, Pri- vate Jones saw over the enemy what appeared to be a white flag, and this enraged him. “Can I go out and have a packet at ’em?’’ he asked his officer. ’ “The orders are to consolidate this position,’ replied the iatter. But Jonés jumped up and called out: “If I've got to be killed I'll die fighting, not digging.”’ So, flinging down his entrenching tools and jumping out of the trench with his rifle, Jones started across “No Man’s Land” towards the Bosche trenches, a couple of hundred yards away. They saw him coming. [n a moment one bullet went through his steel helmet, and during the rest df the adventure, Jones says, “it buzzed around in my headpiece like a marble in a basin, finally galloping down my back.” There was a sniper in a tree, and Jones finally,got him. - after four bullets had passed through his tunic. He kept on going, and at last came to a ‘“‘bay,” or traverse, leading to the German trench. In the traverse were three Germans. The Briton jumped into*the ditch and took advantage of the American art of firing a rifle from the hip. Before the first German could aim, Jones had him: he dropped the second a moment later, and, slip- ping a new cartridge into the breach, shot the third at a range of a yard. On marched the intrepid Jones into a second traverse, when he ran plump into five Germans. One of them How a British Private Caphuted 102 Germans could muster whether either of them could speak English. One of them cried out that he could. So “Todger,” through the interpret- er, ordered the other two to climb out of the trench on the side to- ward the English line. Then waving his hand towards the dug- outs, Jones asked the German whether his companions hiding there wanted to be killed or not. “They’re helpless now,” said the ; German, and Jones- rrivate Jones, gave him these in- pe A ie structions: “Go tell them they can either be killed or taken prisoner, and they can bloomin’ well please themselves about it.’”’ The interpreter delivered the message and came back to say they all agreed to be taken prisoners. “Tell them,” said Jones, “they can come out when you call, but only one at a time, and any one of them that has so much as a penknife on him he will be shot dead straight away. Tell them my mates are coming across in Zz £ thousands in a few minutes, and if the: find anything wrong with me they’! cut you to bits.” When his prisoners began tumbling out, One at a time, with hands upraised, Private Jones was the most astonished man in the world. He had expected ’ about 15, but they kept pouring forth and climbing out of the trench until there were nearly 150 in all. Jones threw a few bombs into the dugouts to be sure no snipers had been left be- hind, Then, remembering that the prison camp would be cold, he told his prison- ers they might fetch their greatcoats. going back two at atime. They did so, anxiously saluting him as each pair passed. He became suspicious of’ one man, and told the interpreter he had a mind to shoot him. “Don't,” exclaimed the English-speak- ing German; “he’s a very good man.” But when the “very good man” went for his overcoat, he made a dash for liberty. Jones shot him fair and square in the head and he rolled over like a rabbit. He then turned to the inter- preter. “Ask them if any more would like to escape,” he said.

One man was hit in-the head and oo - from the hip, made for him with the bayonet, but the Tommy bowled him over with the old trick of firing from the hip. By quick shooting and taking advantage of the Germans’ surprise, he shot all five of them. They made awful noises, he says, screaming and squealing. Others farther along in: the trench, hearing the firing and commotion, thought a party of British had pene- trated into their stronghold, and bolted for the dugouts... Jones was there alone. “T knew I had them then,” ‘he declares. “Ht was just as if you were in a coal cellar and [ was waiting in ‘the street to pot you _ as you came up.” There were loud shouts and acreeches from the dugouts, and every time Jones saw a move- ment he let fly. Just then he saw a pile of bombs on the floor _ Private Jones ue. his bullet-riddied helmet to his parents. , SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST.

He then pointed his pistol at the grandfather clock, shout- ing, “Hands up!” and immediately the hands of the clock whizzed around. “It looked so comical,’’ “Todger’” adds, “‘to see all those Germans with their hands up, with me playing a lone hand—more than a hundred of them, hoping that Private Jones, Kamerad, wouldn’t shoot.”’ Just then, Private Jones saw someone coming out of the British trenches. It was his chum, who had just learned where Jones had gone, and was starting out with the intention of bringing him back, dead or alive. Three other men—a Sergeant-Major, a Corporal andea stretcher bearer, went across with fim. Finding Jones alive, his chum smacked him soundly on the face for causing so much worry. ihe trip back to the British lingy was made through ' ns . ‘ é tRNA lle yates ass an Rain

J., who was cast for the part, but flatly refused to play it. His refusal was quite friendly, but absolutely blunt. “Tf I'm going to talk with you,” he said, “you'll have to promise to—to can the glory stuff.” So the glory stuff is canned here, and you will never hear what it was that young Mr. Fisher did in France that led the French republic to honor him in a very signal way, though he was just a downy- cheeked, pink-and-white-skinned, blue-eyed American boy, with the powerful hands and wrists of a seasoned motor driver, who had wandered over their way and volunteered his services as pilot of.an American Red Cross ambulance. * abi Six months ago Everitt Fisher was learning the automobile business with his older brothers, who have been selling motor cars in New- ‘ = Some of es Impressions of Young Everitt Fisher, of Newark, Just Returned From Five Months’ Service as a Volunteer Ambulance Driver With Bk F rench First Line. - } got his car loaded up with wounded, _ when the Ger- mans began to shell it: As he was turning round his engine stalled and before he could start it again the Bosches got the range, He and his wounded got into a trench and ‘the Germans shelled that am- bulance more or less aljJ night. They spread the en- gine all over Verdun. “In the morning all the part of his car that the fellow could find was the magneto. That wasn’t hurt, and hé took it back with him, and a few pieces of the differential. “They gave up that poste, and-after that we did ourspick-lips about one mile back of the line, which g. ve us a six-mile trip, and a funny kind of a trip until you got used to it. We weren’t allowed any ark for. a good many years. And all at once, as he’ put it, “I got an idea I wanted to see a little more ef the world.”’ So the captain of a freighter took him across the Atlantic as a guest, and he landed in Havre in the middle of last November. “T got a job in the steel company there,” he said, “but I couldn’t keep from wondering what it was like up at the front, so pretty soon I went up to Paris and signed up with the French Government for six months —volunteer driver with the Amer- ican Red Cross. They gave me my uniform and kept me in Paris a week, then shipped me out to Ver- dun, “It’s a hundred and forty miles and we took two days for the trip. 1 landed in Verdun at noon, and right off the bat they gave me 24 hours on duty. That’s the way we worked, one whole day on and then a wiiole day off to rest. “Our section was a new one—you know what an ambulance section is? Twenty motor ambulances, and one big camion—a motor truck that will carry 25 ‘sitting-up cases,’ and a field kitchen; some repair cars and — two touring cars for the French Lieutenant. and .the French -Cap- , tain in~ ¢omimand of the section. Each section has about 25 volun- teer drivers, Americans. They work in pairs. “Well, our section was a new one and I- was the newest thing in it. When I went out to do my first taxicab work I’d never heard a bul- let whistle or a shell explode. I heard plenty that night, and when we got back my comrade said he. wasn’t going any more with me. He accused me of being a human mag- net, because eight high-explosive shells had happened to burst in a radius of 200 yards around us. Next day the section had a song that started, ‘Why do the Bosches pick on Fisher?’ “About a third of our cars were Fords and the rest were a sprink- ling of various heavy ones. In the American ambu- lance, which is a different organization from the American Red Cross, all the cars are Fords, and all the time fellows were transferring from the ambu- lance to us because they thought they’d enjoy it better driving the bigger cars. We let them have them and welcome. The Fords were so small that if you took up the floor boards you had plenty of heat, whereas in the big fellows, where you were constantly shifting gears, you got half frozen. It was a mighty cold winter, you know. I've still got my ‘Verdun bark’—that was our name for the coughs everybody had. “ *Taxicabing’—that was the name for picking up the wounded from Dead Man’s Land and toting them back to hospital. When a man was hit in the first- line, trenches they fixed him up roughly at the first dressing station, enough to control the bleeding, and then, with a dog and cart, or maybe a stretcher- mounted on two wheels, they carried him to the Poste de Secours, far enough back so it was supposed to be safe—and that avas a good husky piece of suppo- sition. We picked ‘em up at the Poste de Secours and carried them back six or eight miles to the hospital. “} remember one Poste de Secours they had to give ap.

Every once in a while a star shell would go up. They burn about eight. seconds and light up three or four square miles, because the parachute acts as a reflector—and while it lasted you would be men able to rush forward as mfch as @ hundred feet... Driving by star shells is quite an experience, | “Every once in a while, too, you’d,cross a narrow- gauge railroad track.

It was a bright, moon- light night, and we’d made good time to the Poste de Secours in our ‘measle-germ’—toat was the pet name for a Ford. We had‘been sent for a wounded man who had to get to hospital at once if he was going to live, and while my comrade was turning the car, I went into the trench for him—under the road and about 200 ‘yards along. The two stretcher bearers picked our man up and I followed ‘along behind. When we got to the road there. wasn’t room to carry him under and we climbed. up’ on the bank. And right then, about three seconds before it landed, we heard that shell coming our way. “It lgnded about five feet ahead of the front stretcher bearer, in a heap of loosé earth, went in about half its length, and then exploded. It was a big one, and the first sen- sation I had was that I was up in the air somewhere in France. The next I knew, I landed in the trench about 20 feet from w I had been standing. And the funny thing was that the shell only killed one of the four of us, the front bearer. “A splinter went right through his breast. The wounded man was only scared and scratched. They had set the stretcher down when we heard the shell. The rear stretch- er bearer wasn’t wounded, but the concussion knocked the senses out of him. He just stood there, hold- ing to his side, and tried fo talk and, . couldn’t. We carried him back, and - when I left France he was a raving maniac from the shock. But they thought he’d get over it after a while. bat 3 “Me? It only blew my helmet off! My face stung me like blazes, and when we got back to the hos- pital they found some gravel had been blown into it. But the doctor greased it up.and I was all right to finish out my 24 hours. After that I felt so well acquainted with shells . that they didn’t trouble me much, “But the gas attacks were mean. The chlorine comes at you like a cloud of smoke,¢. First your eyes - begin to water, and then you smell . it—like hot bread right out of the oven, There’s a new kind of gas . too, that they use in shells, that you can’t see or smell or feel at all until you faint. Any kind of gas is bad. If you don’t get your mask on be- fore the first real whiff, it seems to shrivel your lungs up and you're through, The men don’t seem to suffer much, just froth at the mouth, but many’s the gas case that turned our ambulance into a hearse. We'd put ’em in alive and pull ’em out dead. I just said they didn’t seem to suffer much. That is equal- ly true of all the French soldiers. It would be hard to say too much of their courage after they were wounded, I’ve carried thousands hurt in every imaginable way—erms or - legs blown off, facés almost shot away—and never a yip out of them. The only one who as much as groaned was a poor devil whose bladder had. been stopped up for three days. He couldn’t lie down and he couldn’t sit up, and he was down on his bands and knees for the 15 miles I had to carry him to the place where they had instruments to make the puncture.” Fisher was asked how he passed the time in his days off duty. “Rubbering ‘round,” he said. “There were lots of different kinds of troops to see.

N fact, in battle, the man with the shoulder strap (he wouldn’t wear that insignia of rank then, at all) and the plain private appear ex- actly alike. Fof this there are two reasons— the enemy likes to pick off the officers with sharp- shooting, or by the sniper’s ready aid, while the officer tries just as hard to blend himself with the mass of his men. In other words, the American officer and en- listed man live up rigorously to the definition of the word “uniform,” which means, “alike.” In what way, then, does the layman tell the difference?

Not until the President, in 1883, sent a commission of army and navy officers to Europe to inspect gun factories in En- gland, France and Russia, did we make proper advances in big gun manufacture. On the recommendation of this commission the Government established a gun factory at Washington and the army factory at Water- vliet, on the Hudson. Thus began the evolution of big gun manufacture in the United States. The first important process in turning out a big gun — is performed in the shrinking pit, 45 feet deep, where the inner tube and jacket, in the rough casting, are shrunk together. It requires 36 hours of baking to bring the jacket to its prdper temperature of 675 degrees Fahrenheit, for it weighs from 30,000 to 50,000 pounds, varying in weight according to bize.

Unless the jacket is exactly centered over the tube, it would bind when lowered, as there is only four-one-hun- dredths of an inch play all around. The jacket is then let down over the tube. Eighteen hours are allowed for the tube and jacket to cool, the process being hastened by cold water circulat- ing inside the tube. In cooling, the ket contracts and compresses against the tube so firmly that the two actual- ly become a single solid piece of steel After the jacket come the hoops, and gradually there grow around the cen- tral tube—which is the foundation of the structure— layers of great steel bands, until finally the gun begins to take a definite shape suggestive ‘ot its final form. Then the heavy cranes again grasp it, its weight being now about. 75 tons, and place it in the powerful lathes. to be smoothed and polished, and bored and rifled, until the metamorphosis is complete and the rough, unsightly mass of metal has been ground down into the impressive. ~peacemakers of the world. at While this marvelous evolution has been taking place © under the glass and iron roof of the gun shop, bammer and forge and slotter and miller in other shops have been ceaselessly at work building the powerful car- riages and bases upon which the big guns must be mounted. For when a 12-inch gun, for example, opens: its mouth, enormous forces are instantly released that must be immediately controlled, and the gun carriages must be strong enough to absorb without failure a - tremendous BDiow from the recoil of 40,000 foot tons. From the foundry ‘where huge 5000-pound brass cast- ings send up their spluttering fountains of fire, to the forge where the 75-ton hammer throbs the ground with its great fofte, night and day, without ceasing, the grim — : work of prepafation for war that peace may prevail goes on. ~~ After being trimmed on the lathes to the required per- fection, both inside and out, the great gun is mounted en its carriage and shipped to the proving grounds, at, Indian Head, 23 miles from Washington, where the guns are fired and tested before acceptance for service. Standing behind a 12-inch gun, for example, it will require but little practice to follow with the eyes the projectile in flight. If the gun be elevated to 20 degrees, the projectile will be seen as a black speck tc rise one mile above the earth before it begins to de- Ingot for the barrel of a fourteen-inch dreadnaught gun. United States at least, for no high-power gun has ever been tested to the limit of endurance, but it is possibile that a 12-inch gum may be fired 300 times without being more than 40,000 foot-tons, but so cleverly is the mount seriously damaged. The injury which results from. firing is mainiv a me- ea sig Hollow forging a twelve-inch gun tube. Open hearth steel ingot, weighing 222,300 pounds, for a sixteen-inch gun coast defense. chanical erosion caused by the rapid rush of the powder gases around the base of the projectile. When it is remembered that a 12-inch gun costs $40,000, and that the expense per. round of firing is approximately $750, and that erosion from firing lessens the life.of the gun, the importance of correct construction becomes evident. As the life of a battleship depends upon her heavy guns, these must be first thoroughly inspected ard so placed as te obtain as large an arc of fire as possible. To this end they are mounted in. pairs, in heavily armored steel turrets. The eight-inch turrets are disposed between the main turrets, while the seven-inch battery is located on the deck below in armored casements. The small guns are distributed on the bridges, along the decks, and in the fighting tops. | The concussion of the explosion of a 12-inch gun is tremendous, afid that of still larger guns proportionately greater, but no disagreeable effect is experienced by those in the turret, the noise being all outside. The gun recoils%in the turret, however, with a speed of five and one-half feet a second, with the tremendous energy of designed that this marvelous force is checked in a dis- tance of 36 inches by absorption in heavy steel springs, which immediately return the gun to firing position. After the firing test on the Government proving grounds at Indian Head, the guns are returned to the gun factory, where they are finally inspected and care- ful note made of the effect of first firing. Then they are shipped by rail to whatever branch of the service they were intended. Guns damaged by firing can be rebored or rerifled. About 15 years ago a 13-inch shell prematurely exploded in one of the Kearsarge’s guns, while she was at tarcet practice in the Gulf of Mexico. It was returned to the shops and made good as new with a new tube, or barrel. Few people realize the destructiveness of modern gun- fire. Our fleet at Santiago accomplished what it did with four per cent of hits, and at“that time our navy had the reputation of possessing the best gunners in the world. Since then both ordnance and gunnery have been so improved that guns and methods good enough for 1898 would invite disaster today. Owing to the enormous weight to be moved at every operation, big gun manufacture is naturally very slow work, particularly so in a country such as the United States, which has not specialized in the business of pre- paredness for war. Consequently, until very recently, it required six to ten months to complete the manufacture of a gun firing eight-inch shelis or greater. With Beth- lehem Steel Co. and other great plants supplementing the Government shop’s output, however, theredre at present ample facilities for many times the output of big guns of a few years ago. aoa *§ ale ee Ee ee eee te ee Starting to bore out the barrel of a big cali*re rifle.

The Cancer House the quacks are just about completed. I've heard @ great deal about you, Mr. Kennedy. I think I may trust you.” . The inspector paused. ‘’Tomorrow,” he added, look- ing at us significantly, “we have planned a simul- taneous raid of all of them in the city. However, there’s no objection to your seeing Dr. Love, if you'll be care- ful to give no hint that something is about to be pulled off. I’m sure any new evidence we may get against him will be quite welcome.”’ “I’d like to see him in action before the raid,’’ hastened Craig. “Well, I think the best way, then, for you-to get at him,” advised the inspector, ‘‘would be to adopt the method my investigators use with these fakers. I mean for one or the other of you to pose as a prospective pa- tient. Only don’t let him treat you too much with any of those electrical things of his.” Craig glanced over at me whimsically. “Oh,” 1 said, good-humoredly, ‘‘I'1l.be the goat, if that’s what you're going to ask me.”’ Craig laughed. : . “Come in tomorrow,” called the inspector as we left. “I'd like to hear what happens and I may be able to add sometbing to what you find out.” We found Dr. Love established in a palatial suite of offices in an ultra-modern office building. Outside was what he called his “medical museum.” it “That,” he explained to me at length as he worked, “is what is known as a Berkefeld filter, a little porous cup, made of porcelain. The minute meshes of this filter catch and hold bacteria as if-in the meshes of a microscopic sieve, just like an ordinary water filter. It is so fine that it holds back even the tiny bacillus. These bacilli measure only from a_half to one and one-and-a-half. micromillimeters in diameter. In other words, 130,000 germs of half a micromillimeter would be necessary to make an inch.” “What has it been used for?” I.yentured. “J cannot say, yet,” he returned, and I did not pur- sue the inquiry, knowing Kennedy’s aversion to being questioned when he Was not yet sure of his facts. It was the next day when the postoffice inspectors, the police and others who had been co-operating had set- tled on the raid not only of Dr. Love's, but of all the medical quacks who were fleecing the credulous of the city out of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year by one of the mest cruel swindles that have ever been devised. For the time, Kennedy dropped his investigations in the laboratory and went down to .O’Hanilon’s office, where a thick batch of warrants, just signed, had been received. Quickly O’Hanlon disposed of his forces so that in all EB Pe ae ee a — ee eS Continued From Pa e 40) patrol wagon with the: rest of tu baibidred casei a. Whom was she shielding? All we had were the sec- retary, a couple of cappers and half a dozen patients, regular and prospective, who had been waiting in the of- fice. We had a wagon load of evidence, including letters and circulars, apparatus of all kinds, medicines and pills. But there was nothing more. Craig did not seem especially interested in the mass of stuff which the »po- lice had seized. In fact the only thing that seemed to interest him was the man who had disappeared. We had his hat and the package of filters. Craig picked up the hat and examined it. “It’s a soft hat and consequently doesn’t tell us very much about the shape of his head,” he remarked. Then his face brightened. “‘But he couldn’t have left any- thing much better,” he remarked complacently, as he went over to one of the little wall cabinets which the towel service companies place over wash basins in of- fices. He took from it a comb and brush and wrapped them up carefully. Other raids in various parts of the city proved far more successful than the one in which we had par- ticipated and O’Hanlon quickly forgot his chagrin in the reports that soon came piling in. As for ourselves, we had no further interest except in the disposition- of this case, and Craig decided shortly to go back to work again in the laboratory. was a grewsome collection of wax figures and colored charts, well calculated to pre- pare one for the worst. At the end of the room was a huge sign bearing his name and words, “Positive Cure for Cancer Without Cautery or the Knife.” There were no cappers or steerers about the place, though I have no doubt he had them working for him outside to bring in business. Instead we were met by a very — pretty, fluffy-haired girl, evidently the doc- tor’s secretary. She, I gathered, was Miss Golder, whom Lionel had mentioned. Love’s offic. was elaborately equipped. There were static machines, electric coils, high frequency appliances, X-ray outfits, galvanic and faradic cabinets, electric light reflectors of high power, light bath cab- inets, electric vibrators, high-pressure nebv- lizers, and ozonizers—everything, as Craig expressed it later, to impress the patient that Love could cure any disease the flesh was heir to. I know that it impressed me. The doctor himself was a pompous man of middle age, with a very formidable beard and a deep voice that forbade contradiction. “T’ve come to you on the recommendation of a patient of yours,” began Craig, adding hastily, “not for myself, but for my friend here, who, I’m afraid, isn’t very well.” The doctor eyed me through his gold-~ rimmed spectacles. Already 1 began to feel shaky. “My friend, Mr. Darius Moreton of Nor- wood. [| suppose you remember him?” “Oh, very well, very well. A most pecu- liar case, that of the Moretons. I fear that they haven't all followed my treatment. There is a young doctor out there, I believe, whom they have also. That isn’t fair to me. | wonder whether you are acquainted with my methods of treatment?” Kennedy shook his head negatively. “Miss Golder,’ the doctor called, ‘‘will you give these gentiemen some of my book- lets on the Love Method?” , Miss Golder took from a cabinet several ‘ae tA re o_D / a H A P , - A: ll ay “scl i in tte | HH if i] i HL HI “I will leave you to follow the cases against the quacks, particularly Dr. Love \Y and Miss Golder, Walter,” he said. “By the : * way, you saw me take that hairbrush. I S wish I had a collection of them. In some IN way you must get me a hairbrush from Dr. iN Goode. You'll have to take a trip ou. to | | Norwood. And while you are there, get “ll the brushes from Darius Moreton and Li- Be onel. I don’t know how you'll get Goode’s but Myra will help you with the others, 1" m sure.’ I was surprised to run injo O'Hanlon him- self in the train out to Norwood. The fail- ure to get Dr. Love troubled him and he had reasoned that if Darius Moreton took the trouble to write a letter about his fri2n'l he might possible know more of his where- abouts than he professed. We discussed the case nearly the whole journey, agreeing to _ Separate just before we reached the station in order not to be seen together. It took me longer to carry out Kennedy's request than I had expected. I found Myra alone, very much excited. “Someone called me up from New York this morning,” she said, “and asked whether father and Lionel were atehome. I thought they were at the factory, but when’! Called there the foreman told me they hadn't been there. And Dr. Goode is out, too—hasn't seen any of his patients today. Oh, Mr. Jameson, what does it all mean? Where have they gone?” I was a poor one to comfort her, for I had no idea myself. Still, I did my best, and incidentally secured the brushes, though I must confess I had to commit a little second-story work to get Dr. Goode’s. — As I waited for the train that was to take me back to the city, the train from New York pulled in. Imagine my surprise when I saw Miss Golder step off nervously and hurry up the main street. I watched her, debating what to do, whether to let Kennedy wait and follow her, or not. handsomely printed pamphlets extolling the skill and success.of Dr. Love. Like every- thing else about him, no expense had been spared to impress the reader. As Miss Golder left the office, Dr. Love began a rapid ‘examination of me, using an X-ray machine. When he finished, he shook his head gravely. Of course, I was threatened. Still, if it were not attended to immediately it was only a question of a short time when I might be as badly off as the wax figures and charts outside. I had fortunately come just in* time ‘to be saved, “IT think that with the electrical treatment we can get rid of that mtalignant growth in a month,” he prom- ised, fixing a price for the treatment: which I thought was pretty high, considering the brief time he had actu- ally spent on me, and the slight cost of electric light and power. { paid him $10 on deposit and after a final consultation we left the doctor’s office. [ was to return for a treat- ment in a couple of days. We turned out of the entrance of the office building just as scores of employes were hurrying home. As we reached the door, I felt Kennedy grasp my arm. I swung around. Theré, in an angle of the corridor, I caught sight of a familiar figure. Dr. Goode was standing, evidently waiting for #omeone to come out. Kennedy drew me on into the doorway of the build- ing next door, from which we could observe everyone who went in and out of the skyscraper in which Dr. Love had his offices. “Tt wonder what he’s down here for,’ scowled Ken- nedy. “Perhaps he's doing some detective work Of his own,” I suggested. “Lionel Moreton said that Miss Golder and he used to be intimate,” ruminated Kennedy. “I wonder if he’s waiting for her?” ~ We did not have long to wait. Miss Golder and Dr, Goode came out and turned in the direction of the railroad station for Norwood. He was eagerly question- ing her about something, perhaps, I imagined, our visit to Dr. Love. What did it mean? . There was no use and it was too risky to follow them. Kennedy turned and we made our way uptown to the laboratory, where he plunged at once into an examina- tion of the blood specimens he had taken from the More- tons and of the peculiar porcelain cone which he had picked up in the rubbish pile between the two houses. Having emptied the specimens of blood in_ several little shallow glass receptacles which he covered with black paper and some very sensitive films, he turned his attention to the cone. I noted that he was very par- ticular in his examination of it, apparently being care> ful to separate whatever it wes he was looking for on the inside and the outside surfaces. SUNDAY MAGAZINB- -ST.

Dr. Love’s stood first on the list of those which O’Hanlon decided to handle himself. “By the way,” mentioned O’Hanlon, as we hurried uptown to be ready in time, ‘I had a letter from Darius Moreton this morning threatening me with all kinds of trouble unless we let up on Dr, Love. It’s pretty hard to keep a big investigation like this secret, but I think we've planned. a little surprise for this morning.” With the postoffice inspector we climbed into a patrol wagon with a detail of police who were to make a gen- eral round-up of the places on Forty-second street. | Quickly though the raid was executed, it could not be done without some warning commotion. As we en- tered the front door of the office, we could just catch a glimpse of a man retreating through a back door. There was something familiar about his back and Kennedy and I started after him. But we were too late. He had fled without even waiting for his hat, which lay on Miss Golder’s desk, and had disappearee down a back stair- way, which had been left unguarded. “Confound it,’’ muttered. O’Hanlon,,as we returned, that?” “I don’t know,” replied Craig, pitking up the hat, underpeath which lay a package. He opened the package. ‘Inside were half a dozen Berkefeld filters, those peculiar porcelain cones such as we had found out at Norwood. ‘ee. Quickly Craig ran his eye over the mass of papers on Miss Golder’s desk. He picked up an appointment book and turned the pages rapidly. There were several entries that seemed to interest him. I bent over. Among other names. entered during the past few days I made out both ‘‘Moreton” and “Dr. Goode.” I recalled the letter which O’Hanlon had received from Moreton. Had he or someone else got wind of the raids and tipped oft Dr. Love? . Above the hubbub of the raid I could hear O'Hanion putting poor little Miss Golder through a third degree. “Who was it that went out?’ he shouted into her face. “You might as well tell.

I can’t seem to find any- one in this town now. Perhaps.she knows where Love is,”’ “If you get on the trail, will you wire me?’ I asked. “Here’s my train now.” O’Hanlon promised; and as, | swung on the step I caught a glimpse of him sauntering casually in- the di- rection Miss Golder had taken. .

Kennedy the brushes I had obtained, and he started me out.again to keep in touch with the prog- ress made in the cases of the quacks, particularly. the search for Dr. Love, which seemed to interest him quite as much as tke bailing out of Miss Golder. It was after dinner and I was prepating to follow cases on into the night court, if necessary, when one of O’Hanlon’s assistants hurried up to me. “We've just had a wire from Mr. O'Hanlon,’ he cried excitedly, handing me a telegram. I read: ‘Love captured Norwood. Darius Moreton hiding him ~~ in vacant house outside town.

The ‘ caption is: ‘British official photograph showing “Todg- er’ Jones, V. C., bringing in his ‘bag’ of 102 German prisoners, : ‘“Todger’’ was an old volunteer of the Cheshire Bat- talion, and the skill acquired as a marksman 16 or 17 years ago caused his being employed at the front as a bomber and sniper. By trade he is a fitter, and he is 36 years old. He tried to join the engineers at the be- ginning of the war, but as a territorial reservist was eventually assigned to the Cheshire Regiment. He was sent to the front in January, 1915, and took part in the bloody battle of Ypres. He has had many narrow escapes, besides the bullets that bit his helmet and tunic as he marched alone to capture a German trench. A bullet once went through his pouch, the heel of his boot was blown off and the explosion of a shell hurled him 10 feet in the air, lodg- ing pieces of shrapnel in his shoulder and knee. He is almost as proud of an fron Cross which he cap- tured in battle as he is of his Victoria Cross, the high- est honor which England can give a soldier. It was at the engagement of Mouquet Farm, when his regiment stormed a trench which the Germans had held against four attacks.

One cannot win at anything without putting forth the best efforts. “Il am not a food faddist, nor do I base my hopes upon denying my body its natural demands. Give me what I want of vegetables, fruits, eggs and sea foods, of which I am very fond, and I'll supplement this with clean liv- ing and guarantee to keep in fine trim for the exactions of this life.” Mr. Baptiste is not nervous. He signs his name with a steady hand, and maintains that the shaky hand is an indication of failing health, due in most cases to loss of sleep at a time when the tissues required rebuild- ing in the period of repose. Ninety-seven years, he in- ' gists, is not too long for any man to remain and be useful to the world. “I’m still on deck,” he declares, ‘and right here at my business to prove it. Early in life I set out to live long and knew that to do so I must live simply. Had I persuaded myself to be turned from this purpose, I would no doubt have followed many of my friends who have gone before. Barring accidents, I see no reason why I should not remain active and useful for many more years.” He is a thirty-second degree Scottish Rite Mason and has been a member of the order for 50 years. Mr. Baptiste posed for the pictures on this page in the gymnasium of the Missouri Athletic Association, where a number of gray-haired so-called old men were going through light exercises. They marveled at his muscles, and the more adventurous tested his grip. -He informed x 4 (Continued From Page 3.) them that he was far from being through and expected to eclipse the record of his father, who, he declared, lived 118 years. He_refused to don a “gym” suit, but wished it to be known that he would take on any of the young men in a test of strength. His challenge was not accepted. into a fine big fellow, an officer of the Prussian Guarda, full of fight. The Prussian lunged with his bayonet. but Jones shot him. The Iron Cross, in its little case, dropped from his pocket as he fell. Evidently the officer had not yet had time to pin it on his coat. He explains his nickname as follows: At football, when a boy, he was so tricky and artful that his com- panions‘calied him “Dodger.” As his first name was Tom, the two were combined and formed “Todger.” He was “Todger’ at-school and the nickname followed him to France. The town of Runcorn, “Todger’s’” home, is proud of him. Thousands of his fellow citizens met him on his return from the front, and a marble tablet is to com- memorate his deeds. His employers have settled an an- nuity of $250 on his parents, and he has received from admirers a gold watch, framed photographs, a smoker's cabinet, a silver wrist watch, a silver teapot, a case of cutlery, field glasses and a host of other things. He has had a civic reception at Chester and been entertained at dinner by the Cheshire Regiment. But he remains the quiet and unassuming ‘“Todger,” a man entirely without what the British call “side” or “swank.” Taxicabing Around. Verdun One day a German plane was absolutely blown to pieces by an anti-aircraft shell that struck it square. It just disappeared; nothing dropped at all. And one day I saw a French sausage balloon get hit by an incendiary bomb Gropped from a German plane. It burst into flames, but the observers hopped off with their parachutes and came down safely. “But after a while—three or four months—I got so I wasn't eating well and my sleep didn’t rest me because I dreamed so much. I hadn’t even known I had a nerve in my body till then, but the doctors said I’d better go ‘en renos’ for a while, and sent me back to Paris, and there they told me to take a little leave in the United States. I hadn’t been hurt at all at the front, but in my hotel there a wardrobe toppled over on my head one morning and all but finished me, but not quite. and I’m planning to go back again in a couple of months.” “Red Cross again?’ he was asked. “IT don’t know.

If you want to know how and why the French honored the blue-eyed boy from Newark so signally, you'll have to consult the official records. The Cc Cancer House ow (Continued From Page 9.) . PAGE TEN — “Of course,’ he began, laying his leather case on the table and unlocking but not opening it, ‘‘references to cancer houses abound in medical literature, but it may be said to be an open question, with the weight of opinion against it. Such physi- cians as Sir Thomas Oliver have said that the evidence in favor is too strong to be ignored. Others equally brilliant have shown why it should be ignored. “In the absence of better proof—or rath- er in the presence of other facts—perhaps, in this case, it would be better to see whether there is not some other theory that may fit the facts better.”’ “Dr. Goode thought that the cancers might have been caused artificially by X-rays or radium,’’ I ventured. Craig shook his head. “I have taken a piece of filter paper, saturated with a so- lution of potassium iodide, starch paste and ferrosulphate and laid it over a sam- ple of blood, not four millimeters away. The whole I have kept in the dark. “Now, we know that blood gives off peroxide of hydrogen. Peroxide of hydro- gen is capable of attacking photographic plates. The paper can be permeated by a gas. No, that was not a case of photo- activity observed by Dr. Goode. It was the emission of gas from the blood that affected the plates.” “But suppose that is the case,’”’ objected Dr. Goode hastily. “There are the deaths from cancer. How do you explain them? It is not a cancer house, you say. Is it mere chance?” “Anyone may be pardoned for believing that cancer houses or even‘cancer districts exist,” reiterated Craig. “Indeed, some ob- servations seem to show it, as I have said, though the opponents of the theory claim to have found other causes. Here, as you hint, five people, living in close asso- ciation, have died in five years.” He paused and drew from the satchel the little porcelain cone which he had picked up between the Moreton and Goode houses. i “I have here,” he resumed, “what is known as a Berkefelt filter.

Truss things can pass through it, something that we cannot see, a clear, watery fluid. That something in this case is a filterable virus.” Kennedy paused again, then went on. “Although the filterable viruses have only recently come to attention, it is known that they are of very diverse character. The study of these tiny particles is now one of the greatest objects in scientific medicine. “Are they living? It seems so, for a very little of the virus gives rise to growths from which many others start. . It may, of course, be chemical, but it looks as if it were organic, since it resists cold, although not heat, and can be destroyed by phenol, toluol and other antiseptics. Perhaps t]e virus may be visible, but rot by any tRa@ns yet known. Still, we do know that these things which no eye can See may Cause some of the commonest dis- “In recent experiments with cancer in chickens,” continued Craig, ‘‘tumor ma- terial ground fine and treated in various ways has been filtered through these fil- ters. Cancers have been caused by this agent which has passed through the filter. “On the inside of the filter which I picked up behind this very house, near the boundary of Dr. Goode’s, I have found the giant cells of cancer. On the outside was something which I have been able to develop into a virus, these micro-or- ganisms that belong to the ultra-invisible. I do not pretend to know just how this ‘bacteriological dwarf has been used.’ But I know enough to say that someone has, without doubt, been using some sort of filterable virus to induce cancers, just as the experimenters at the Rockefeller In- stitute have done with animals. : “Naturally, in the Moreton family, this person found a fertile soil. Perhaps he waited until he saw what looked like a favorable wound, or traumatism. It is well known that cancer often can be traced to a wound. Perhaps he introduced this virus surreptitiously into a cut, now and then. For experiments show that the virus is strikingly dependent for its action ‘on the derangement of the tissues with which it is brought in contact. “This person must have had a high per- centage of failures in his attempts to in- the virus successfully. But by per- sistence and taking advantage of every predisposition afforded by nature, he suc- ceeded. At any rate, this person must have been intimately acquainted with the family, must have had some motive for seeking their deaths—for instance the family fortune. . “Tt makes no difference whether the vic- tims might have had cancer sooner or later, anyway. Even if that were so, this cold-blooded villain was at least hasten- ing the development, if not actually caus- ing the frightful and fatal disease.”’ Myra Moreton shuddered, and I looked at Dr. Goode anxiously as Kennedy pro- ceeded. I have here a soft hat which he left behind in his hurry to escape, as well as some filters he was carrying.” He turned the hat inside out. ‘You will see,’ Craig pointed out, “that on the felt of the inside there are numerous hairs, from the head of the wearer.” I leaned forward, breathlessly. I began to see the part I had played in building up his case. : “Human hair,” he remarked, ‘differs greatly. Under the microscope one may study the oval-shaped medulla, the long, pointed cortex and the flat cuticle cells of an individual hair. The pigment in the cortex can be studied also. “T have taken some of the hairs from the inside of this hat, examined, photo- graphed and measured them. I have com- pared them with a color scale perfected by the late Alphonse Bertillon. In fact, } in France, quite a science has been built If you are everstout do not ONLY AFTER REDUCTION HAS DR.

The hairs in the hat which was left over the package of filters have furnished me with a slender but no less damning clew to a veritable monster.” One could have heard a pin drop. “Dr. Love is guilty of being one of the most heartless of quacks, it is true,’”’ Ken- nedy’s voice rang out tensely, as he faced us. ‘But the slow murders, one by one,_ bringing the family estate nearer and nearer—they were done by one who hoped to throw the blame on Dr. Love, by the man whose hair I have here—Lionel Moreton.” ; (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure ‘News- paner Syndicate.)

The cargo capacity will be 3500 tons and the ship will draw 12 feet of water. It will be a steam vessel and use crude oil for fuel. HE above drawing is from a blue- print of the plans adopted by the Government for the fleet of 1000 wooden merchant’ ships, which‘ next fall will begin carry- ing supplies from the United States to the allies. Nothing like this veseol, now plows the seas. The fleet will be supplemented by an undetermined number of steel ships. Each of the thousand wooden vessels will be 290 feet long, 46 feet beam and 26 feet depth. The cargo capacity will be 3500 tons and the ship will draw 12 feet of water. They will be steam vessels, the power being furnished from engines with old-fashioned water tube boilers, using crude oil for f¥si and with some burning = i itt igi Saas NN A Aa il A Ay i il i Se Sl salt anand . a oo device for reducing to a minimum the amount of visible smoke. The ordinary cruising ca- pacity will be 10 knots an hour, but the ship will be capable of 12 or 13 knots in the danger zone. In addition to the engine for motive power, each boat will be equipped with eight hoisting engines for the operation of the hoist- ing derricks seen in the picture. This will make for quick loading and unloading of cargoes. It will be noted that everything which would militate against her being that for which she was designed—cargo carrying—has been elim- inated. Her masts are a part of the derrick loading system. She will carry no sails be- cause of their visibility.

A crew of 35 men will man each vessel. There will be on board, in addition, a gun crew large enough to man the rifles seen at the bow and stern. The suggestion has been made that these gun crews should be made up of young men from the semi-military schools and col- leges of the Middle West, so that at the end nf the war they may carry back to the inland communities word of Uncle: Sam’s need for a great merchant marine. The cost of building and equipping each wood- en vessel will be $300,000. This is about one- half the cost of a steel vessel of the same ca- pacity. One billion board feet of timber will be ‘ be needed, required to construct the entire fleet of a thou- sand boats, but the country’s: annual supply of lumber can easily provide this. Last year around 40,000,000,000 feet were cut in this coun- try. In the Pacific coast yards Oregon fir will be used; the South, long-leaf yellow pine, and pine on the New England coast. While there is no problem of materials, there is one of labor. The wooden ship-building industry in this country long ago went into a decline and there are said to be no more than from 15,000 to 25,000 wooden ship-building me- chanics in the United States. Fully 100,000 will but it is expected that under the supervision of experienced men, carpenters fa- miliar now only with other branches of the a trade, will in a short. time qualify themselves for their new work. At least 100 yards on the Atlantic, Pacific and gulf coasts are petitioning for the work. Their capacities range from the building of one to 25 ships at a time. The wooden fleet is the outgrowth of the simultaneous ideas of two Americans eager to contribute something toward the defeat of Prussia, F. Huntington Clark of New York conceived the idea of building steel ships of standardized parts and shapes, so that they could be put together much in the manner of an automobile, but he soon discovered that the steel would not be available in the required quantities for quick emergency work. The mind of F. A, Eustis of Boston was working along the @ame lines. Clark substituted wood for steel The ordinary cruising capacity will be 10 and submitted his plan to P. A. S. Franklin and | © J. P. Morgan & Co. They advised him to hurry — to Washington and advise the Shipping Board about it. that Eustis was ahead of him with the same evolved the above plan under the the Shipping Board. When first broached the et wooden ship idea was scoffed at. : The work of building is in charge of = Emergency Ship-Building Corporation, of } Major-General Goethals is the head.

Lur is pure essence of soap in flake form What LUX is Lux is the modern form of soap for fine laundering—pure essence of soap in flakes. Why soap for fine laundering should be in flakes. Soap should never be rubbed directly on a delicate fabric— it coarsens the fabric and grad- ually turns it yellow. Use Lux which dissolves instantly. Lux is made in the form of flakes because in these tiny flakes is condensed more real cleansing value than is possi- ble in any other form of soap In this way, Lux can be kept absolutely pure concentrated soap; inthis form there is no need for any air, any moisture, or any kind of “fillers,” which have no cleansing value. Lux needs only to be used in small quantities owing to its absolute purity and wonderful richness. It can’t injure anything which pure water alone won't injure. Try Lux just once No matter what soap you use now for fine laundering, try Lux—get it at your gro- cer’s or at any department store. See for yourself what a re- markable difference it makes.
