Poet-Mapatch in the St eR A ROLL LL LOE GOT ~YRERNAN PAPERS PRAISE. SPEECH OF CHANCELLOR Peace Offer to Russia Treated in Gomment as Outstanding Feature of Address. NO CRITICISM OF HOLLWEG His Attitude Looked on as Point- ing to Common Meeting Ground for Divergent Views. BERLIN. May..16, via London, May 17. —~Press comment today on the Chance!- lor’s speech almost unanimously under- scores the reference to Russia as the significantly ov%etanding feature of the Premler’s utterance. The speech as 3a whole is generally commended as one of the boldest and best that Von Beth- mann-Hollweg has yet made in Parlia- ment, and personal criticism of the Chancellor is conspicuously absent. The editorial discussion, dilating upon all angles of the war aims and peace terms, e:mphasizés the widely divergent views entertained on all sides. In many quarters the speech has had a pro- nounced conciliatory effect and is inter- preted as pointing the way to a common meeting ground. The impression pre- valle that the conservatives came out of the fray badly battered, although the | Chancellor was equally emphatic in dis- owning any prediliction for the Social Democratic program of territorial and indemnity renunciation. Standing guard between these two milistones the block of the middle parties helped the Chan- cellor to carry the day. Thinks Holiwee Won Adberents. ‘‘The ancellor has won adherents and camp followers,’’ says the Vossische Zeitung, “‘and for the first time he yes- terday became a leader.”” The Rund- schau asserts that the Chancellor has not had a day equal to yesterday since Aug. 4, 1914, and that the effect of his ‘speech on the House was most impres- | sive. “The Chancellor's speech,’’ con- cludes the Tageblatt, “which holds many truths and omits others, will hardly serve to alter much in this world of misery, and perhaps no speech could accomplish that.” The chief Centrist organ, Germania, gives Von Bethmann- Hollweg ¢redit for knowing what he wants, being fully conscious of the direction his policy is taking and capa- role of employing every tactic and re- gource needed to achieve his end. The rabidly Chauvinistic Tages Zei- tung believes that the interpellation of the Conservatives has achieved its pur- pose, even if the! chancellor's reply leaves much to be desired. The Lokal Anzeiger offers the most ‘hostile critt- cism of any Berlin paper. It says: “The national fervent desire for a leager in whom the country may trust as the army trusts von Hjndenburg has this day been unfullfilled by.von Beth- mann. A weighty hour, which offered opportunity for big things, was permit- téd ta pass by unutilized. There ie bit- ter disappointment throughout the land.”’ Lacks Hope as to Ra The Vorwaerts is not Leonel if any return from Von Bethmann’s invitation to Russia if it includes the possibility that Germany is attempting to lure Russia into a separate peace, in order to make conquests in the West. The Vorwaerts continues: ‘‘We do not pre- tend to assert that such is the Gov- ernment’s intention, and are rather in- clined to believe that the opposite is true. Yet the chancellor's speech failed to remove the suspicion and this stis- picion is today the greatest hindrance toward ending the war.’’ German ot en oy Saczimtcete Untll y AMSTERDAM, May 17.—The German Reichstag has adjourned until July. 56.

STRIVINGS 7 +i Correspondent Says President's Influence Is Potent in the Stockholm Conferences. DANISH EDITOR’S . VIEW Quotes Dutch Delegate as Say- ing, “It Must Be aKerensky- Wilson Peace.”’ eel By CYRIL BROWS A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and. New York World. (Copyright, 1917, by Press Pub. Co.) COPENHAGEN, May 16, via London, May 17.—Prestdent Wilson is for prac- tical purposes a delegate to the prelim- inary Socialists peace conference now taking place in Stockholm. The spirit of Wilson is a potent and vital factor in the present peace siriv- ings of the Socialists, according to the noted leader of the Danish Social Demo- cratic party, Righmand Bortbierg, who has just returned via Stockholm from Petrograd. There, in his capacity as chief editor of the party organ, Social Demokraten, he imparted the details of the so-called Schneidermann peace plan of the majority German Socialist rarty to the Russian leaders. ‘Wilson's Christmas program was our program and we approved it whole- Leartedly; that, too, was our old solu- tion among the Scandinavian Social Democrats,” Bortbierg told me. “At Stockholm a Socialist delegate from Holland declared recently: ‘the com- ing peace must be a ‘Kerensky-Wilison peace.’ I thoroughly approve of that. “Wilson-Kerensky Peace.’ “I believe that when the Social Demo- cratic peace plan shall have been for- mulated and agreed on, it will prove, in all important points, a Wilson-Ker- ensky peace.”’ Bortbierg is >convinced that world peace can only be won by a democrati- zation of the world, including the thor- ough-going democvratization of Ger- many, and consequently he feels strong- ly over the fact that political reform, or the so-called new orientation, is making headway slowly in Germany. At the same time he senses one of the greatest obstacles to the Socialist peace efforts in the possible increase of the reactionary spirit in Germany. “If junkerdomb only raises its head,”’ he said; ‘“‘if Chauvenistic demands are made; if Bethmann-Hollweg makes even minor concession to the Chauvenists, it will do great damage to our cause. A rapid democratization of Germany, in my opinion, would greatly accelerate peace. “Going Slowly in Germany.” “But things are going so slowly in Ger- many. I believe all the Scandinavian Social-Democracy regrets it, and so do many non-Soclalists throughout Scan- dinavia. Germany must be democ- ratized but the democratization must naturally proceed from Germany itself. It cannot be achieved by enemy armis.”’ “If the people of the warring nations,” the Danish leader concluded, ‘‘could hold a general meeting, with well-chosen rep- resentatives, at which all lies could be dissipated and only truth prevail, I be- lieve peace could be made in 48 hours."’ Demand in Bulgaria for Peace Said to Be Almost Universal. COPENHAGEN, May 17.—Bulgarian Socialists who passed through Copenha- gen on their way to the Stockholm con- ference described the demand for peace in Bulgaria as virtually universal. The people, they sald, were weary of the al- most continuous war since 1912 and eager for a return to peacéful pursuits. They hailed joyfully every sign of a weak- ening in the war fever. Dr. Sakaroff, spokesman for the dele. gation, said a majority of the Bulga- rlans went willingly into the first war against Turkey in 1912, wnwillingly into the second war in 1913 against Servia and Greece, and were dragged into the present war. Bulgaria's debt, he added, had increased nearly three-fold. Dr. Sakatoff was unwilling to give figures concerning the casualties tn the war, but sald Bulgaria's losses had been frightful. Many of the Socialist party's best men had fallen, he declared. American Call for Conference of Sa- of Three Countries, NEW YORK, May 17.—A message to Socialist leaders in the United States.

His mission to New York was mainly to extract some pleasure from life that can best be had in that me- tropolis. There he met, in clubs, some | agreeabdiec mén whom he had no reason to suspect of being other than was claimed for them, namely, boxers. One evening he was taking a taxi ride, the Colonel relates, When, at a point as light as day, the two supposed boxers forced their way into the vehi- cle, jammed a pistol close to him and told him to deliver his diamonds without delay or noise. He did so. For a time he cherished the idea that his acquaint- ances had merely played a joke on him. but that idea he has shifted to the cate- gory of a delusion.

On the ex-| SENATE DEBATES |" TECHNIGALITES IN ARMY BIL Several Would Make Draft for Period of War Instead, of “for Existing Emergency.”’ REED AMONG QBJECTORS Chamberlain Warns Against Sending Measure Back to Conference Again. WASHINGTON, May 17.—When the army bill came up in the Senate today for final action on the conference report it was thrown into & long debate over technicalities which Senator Chamber- lain, chairman of the Military Commit- tee, openly characterized as ‘hair split- ting.”’ The principal contention was over whether soldiers were, being drafted for “the existing emergency” or “‘the war.” “Here we are at war,’’ declared Cham- berlain, “and the Senate is splitting hairs on this proposition with danger at our doors and threatening to send the bill back to conference.’ Some Senators protested against the Seneral language of ‘‘the emergency,” contendjng that it might fasten a mili- tary policy on the country. Senator Chamberlain insisted tre term “existing emergency” was definite enough when considered with cther len. guase in the mcagure, and Senator Fletcher pointed out trat the “existin2” emergency could not be stretched to ccn- tinue men in service for some future exigency. Reed Among Objecto Senator. Chamberiain served notes Oo} the Senate that if it sent the report back to. confer nce there would be no miiltary legislation foc % or 6 days. Senators Smith and -Hardwick of Georgia, Reed of Missduri and La’ Fol- lettee were among those whe raised cb- jections. La Follictte: demanded 2 vote on tre- turning the bill to conference with in- structicns to make it operative only “during the war’ and rot 4uring ‘the existing emergency.”’ Chamberlain reiterated his warning that ereat delay might result and pointed out that the senators delaying the bill were those who lost their fight against the draft, system. Senator Smith of Georgia, however, renewed his attack and argued that returning it to conference would not delay raising an army, as the men being trained to officer it would not be ready for 90 days. “Our real work is being done across, the Atlantic by the navy,’ said Senator Smith. @“We ought to write into this bill an express declaration that the draft system dies with this German war.”’ The House vesterday accepted the con- ference report, with its provision for $30 minimum :pay for enlisted men. The section regarding pay, as agreed to by the conferees, provides that ail officers and enlisted men of .the forces to be raised by conscription shall have the same pay, allowances and pen- sions as the regular army, and makes these increases in the pay of enlisted regulars: Those” receiving $15 to $21 a month an increase of $15 a month; those receiving $24 an increase of $12; those receiving $30, $36 or $40 an increase of $8, and those receiving $45 or more an increase of $6. Plans for beginning registration of those subject to draft have been com- pleted by the War Department, and '!t is announced that immediately upon signature of the army bill by the Presi- dent the department also will outline the procedure to be followed in bringing the national guard into the Federal service. Many details regarding the guard’s mobilization and its status re- main to be completed, and Secretary Baker sai@ the state regiments would not be opflered to divisional or army corps concentration camps, except where a state division exists, until all prepara- tions are made at the camp pites for their reception. Juard regiments now in the Federal service may be retained temporarily at their present local camps, and other units also may be sent to state or local camps for a time, but eventually fhe force wiil be gathered in oig camps, where divisionui or even army corps training can proceed. The commander of each of the six military departments already has been instructed to select a board of officers to recommend five training camp sites. Out of the # thus recommended 16 or more will be select- ed by the department. Tentative Supply Centracts Made. Estimates are being prepared and ten- tative contracts made for the supply- ing of approximately 500,000 men in the first force to be composed of regulars and national guardsmen. The esti- ymates are based on a three-month pe- riod, however, subject to extension as the force increases. All of these pre- parations must be completed and the ermies be well advanced in training before the first 500,000 men selected un- der the draft bill are called to the col- ors. , The department also has under con- sideration the task of selecting’ three new Major Generals and 15 new Briga- diers for the regular army, that num- ber being provided for in the increase of the force to full war strength. Ten of the Brigadiéers will come from the in- fantry, two from the cavairy, two from the field artillery, and one from the engineers. An additional Brigadier aldo will be selected to succeed Brigadier- General Davis, recently retired. The cavairy will supply this. extra officer.

CHICAGO, May 17.—Returns just is- sued by the Interstate Commerce Com- mission and made public today by the Bureau of Railway News and Statistics, show one of the greatest safety accom- plishments in the history of American railways in their record for the summer of 1916 In the quarter from July to September, when the roads hagdled the largest passenger movement in_ their history, only two passengers were killed in train accidents.

The necessity of voting down the resolution was explained by Lord Rob- ert Cecil to be a technicality, inas- much as it presented an amendment Ee to the consolidated fund bill, and ex- ||). pressions of regret that the Housej|i should thus be compelled seeming! to slight Russian aspirations were voiced by Lord Robert, Former. Pre- mier Asquith and others, who declared their sympathy with Russia, but dep- ' pecated the views of the small body of pacificists moving the resolution in such a manner as necessitate its re- jection. War Aims Unchanged. Lord Robert Cecil, on behalf of the Government and Mr. Asquith were em- phatic in their statements that it was, impossible at the present stage to enter into negotitions with Germany, and declared that the war aims of the entente allies ‘as previously an- nounced still held good. . Lord Robert was sceptical regarding Snowden’'s account of the pacific views of the Italian and German Socialists. Fhe latter, he said, had supported their Government right through and had refused to condemn even tbe}. worst atrocities. ; With regard to Snowden’s question _, a8 to whether treaties concluded with Russia before the revolution were still binding, he thought that doubt- leas they were. Until the new Rus- sian Government released the allies from any particular engagement en- tered into with the old Government Great Britain is bound in honor to carry out her engagements, not only with Russia but with all the Allies, he declared. 5 Paying warm tribute to the manner in which the Russian revolution had been brought about, Lord Robert, com- menting on the Socialist plan for peace without annexation alluded to the German colonies. “While it is true,” he said, “that we did not take them in order to res- cue the natives from German rule, but as part of the war operations, having rescued them, are we going to’ give them back?” Natives Tll-Treated, He Says. He then read a long account of the shocking treatment suffered by na- ‘tives in both German: East Africa and ' German West Africa, and said: “If there is any measure of success in the war, I should regard with horror the |, idea of returning natives who have been freed from a Government of that kind.” . Then. there were Poland, Alsace-Lor- raine and Italia“Irredenta. Cottid Great ' Britain commit herself to a policy o2 nonannexation in these cases. he asked. Lerd Robert referred to Turkish cru- — and oppression in Arabia, Armenia Syria, ‘and said he wished to im- préss upon Snowden and his friends that while there might not be good grounds for going to War to accomplish acts of reparation and justice, yet, having done that by war the nation could hardly be asked to abandon the fruits of suc desirable achievements. Then what about Belgium, Servia and Northern France and the destruction of peaceful merchant ships? Was there tv be no reparation? He ridiculed the suggestion that the allies should enter into peace negotiations with Germany. He found no indication in the German Chancellor's speech of an inclination even to state the terms of peace Ger- many was ready to accept—and until! the epirit which characterized the Chan- cellor’s speech was exorcised it would ve ludicrous and undignified on the part of the allies to discuss terms with Ger- many. So far as he was able to judge, the same had happened to many as read often happened before. There was & popular movement and a populer de- mand for reform and an appearance of yielding by the Government. Then fol- lowed @ protest generally couched itn » offensive terms by the junkers and then an immediate surrender to the junkers. “We, at any rate,” said Lord Rob- ert, “are determined not to accept es | peace that will be no peace.

NEW YORK, May 17.~The story of how the American steamship Mongolia fired the first shot of the war for the United States in defending herself from i an attack by a German submarine, was told by Lieut. Bruce R. Ware Jr., com- ik .'t mander of the United States naval gun- ners on board the ship, at a dinner given here last night in honor of Capt. Emery Rice, commander of the Mongolta, and ‘Tieut. Ware. “On April 19 the sun came up. one minute before 5, when we were nine 11). miles southwest of Beechey Headlight, to the surface, in the English Channel, on the south- erly part of the English coast,” said Lieut Ware “We drove into « thick fog which obscured the sun. At 6;21 o'clock a. m. Capt. Rice ordered +a. sounding taken and when the quarter master came back with the reports of his soundings we went into the chart- house to determine our position. “The chief officer, at 6:22 a, m., look- ing from the charthouse, shouted: “‘My! -A submarine; and he’s got us!’ 4 “Capt. Rice cried: ‘Not by «@ aA—— sight!’ and, leaping to the wheel, threw the helm hard starboard and zig-zagged to leeward. “Charged the U-Boats.” “Righting ‘ourselves quickly, we charged the Hun U-boat and made the black snake that attacked us on our port bow submerge. “T Jeaped to the charthouse and shouted into my transmitter for the gun crew to man No. 8 gun and train on the starboard quarter. The answer eame back from the gun crew: “*We sight her wake.’ “ ‘Control’ I shouted, and then gave the range—1000 yards, scale 50. “We saw the thin smoky oil coming te the surface in slow bubbles and sud- denly a periscope apepared. | “Commence Firing!” “ ‘Commence firing!’ I shouted. “‘Tt’s gone!’ was the answer from the gun crew... “Tire at will!’ I cried, and suddenly the blackened shell hurtled forth from the muzzle of the six-inch gun preced- ed by a puff of smoke, and struck the water six inches from the periscope. “I saw that shell plough through the water six inches from the periscope and shatter that slim object. End over end hurtied the periscope the smoke rising 4 while the gun crew fimped up and down ghouting, ‘Hurrah! We'ye got her!’ “Again came the cry through my transmitter, “We've sighted her again, shall we fire?’ “I shouted, ‘No, it’s all over.’ ™ “fa much rather take the Mongolia through the war zone than make a speech,”’ said Captain Rice, when he was called upon. “All I will say is . that I’m ready to go again and I hope I have another chance at a U-boat.” At the Busy Bee Candy Shops Friday.

Missouri with 6100 men in its national guard forces would be required to add 8700 if the Government decides to bring the units up to war strength. Accord- ing to the allotment for states an- nounced recently by the war depart- ment Missouri’s quota of the 424,800 militiamen to be called into the Federal service is 14,800. The apportionment was made on the basis of 800 men for each Senator and Representative in Congress. On this basis New York would be required to furnish 36,000 men, practically an entire army corps. In proportion to population St Louis would be required to furnish only about $500 of the quota of 14,800.

Senator Reed of Missouri was said to have been particularily vehe- ment. ‘Senator Lewis of Illinois: vigor- ously condemned ‘certain activities of the commission, especially regarding the awarding of Government contracts, and offered. an amerid@ment to the law cre-|-oc ating the Defense Council to provide that hereafter men shall be appointed to the Advisory Commission subject to the Senate’s confirmation. Some Senators said President Wilson was not kept properly informed regard- ing supply purchasing. Others declared the President and the Cabinet, without warrant of law, had conferred some of their powers upon the Advisory Com- mission, particularly as to the purchas- ing of supplies. It was asserted that Gen. Goethals op- posed building of wooden ships, favor- ing steel, but had ‘been compelled by the shipping board to proceed with wooden construction. Senator Weeks complained that members of the Ship- ping Board ‘had’ prevented a private shipbuilding company from raising cap- ital and deterred individuals from in- vesting, advising them against putting money into specific corporations. Lodge Answers Critics. Senators Martin, Underwood and Sha- froth were among the few Democrats who spoke in defense of the executive branch. It was pointed out that actual purchases were made only by the Gov- ernment pa and that conduct of investigati and negotiations by the Advisory Commissiog, had resulted in saving millions of dollars on war con- tracts. Senator Lodge replied to criticisms that the Senate had been delaying war legislation. “In observations frequently made we have been called slackers and it has been said we are doing nothing,’’ Sen- ator Lodge said. “Six weeks ago today the war was declared. I have never worked so hard or so much as since the declaration of war. We began by pass- ing four great appropriation bills. We have passed great ‘loan bills; we've passed through both houses a bill pro- viding for selective. conscription. En- gland and Canada have deen discussing conscription for years. e’ve done it in both houses inside of a fortnight.”’ The Senate reviewed other measures which have been passed by the Senate. ‘“T say that remarkable work has been done,” he added. Senator Fall commented on the failure of the administration to inform Congress officially of the presence of the French and British Commissioners and advise and suggestions which they sought for the benefit of this country.. Senator Shafroth of Colorado deplored criticism of the executive departments, saying the various Government's depart- ments have been busy every minute in the day raising an army and preparing for war. — SCHMITZ & SHRODER | Every Item a Rousing Value!!

LONDON, May 17. —Following is the letter sent yesterday by Premier Lioyd George to John Redmond, leader of the Irish Nationalists, proposing 4 settle- ment of the home rule problem: “Dear Mr. Redmond—The Government has been considering for some time what further action they would take to bring about the settlement of the Irish ques- tion. They have approached the sub- ject with a deep desire to jut an- end to a state of affairs which is productive of immense evil, not only to Ireland, but to Great Britain and the empire. “Phe choice of alternatives open to them. however, has: been narrowed by the fact that it is impossible for them, in the crisis of a war in which our safe- ty and the liberty of most of the na- tions of Europe is at stake, to take ac- tion which would revive a violent po- litical controversy, and so weaken or imperil the unity which is essential to the supreme necesity of winning the war.

Immediate Settlement. ‘The desire of the Government has been to try to effect an immediate set- tlement, conceding the largest possible measure of home rule which can be se- cured by agreement at this moment, without prejudice to the undertaking by Parliament of a further and final set- tlement of the questions most in dispute after the war. They are, therefore, pre- pared to put forward proposals on the following lines, with a view to present action: “Firstly: They would introduce a Dill for the immediate application of the home rule act in Ireland, but: excluding therefrom the six counties of Northeast Ulster, such exclusion to be subject to reconsideration by Parliament at the end of five years, unless it is previously ter- minated by the’ action of the Council of Ireland, to be set up as hereinafter de- scribed. “Secondly: With the view of securing the largest possible measure of common action for the whole of Ireland, the bill would provide for a Council of Ireland, to be composed of two delegations con- sisting, on the one hand, of all members returned to Westminster’ from the ex- cluded area, on the other, of a delega- tion equal in numbers from the Irish Parliament, this council to be summoned on the initiative of any six members. “It would be empowered by a major- ity of the votes of each of the delega- tions to pass private legislation affect- ing both the included and excluded areas; to recommend to the Crown the extension to the excluded area by an order in council of any act of the Irish Parliament; to agree to the inclusion under the home rule act of the whole of Ireland, subject to the assent of a ma- jority of the voters in the excluded area, the power to be vested in the Crown in that case to extend the act to al) of Ireland by an order in council; to make recommendatiens on its own initiative upon the Irish questien, including the amendment of the home rule act as finally passed. The president of this Council of Ireland would be elected by agreement between the delegations, or, in default of agreement, would be noni:- inated ae the Crown.’ elopment of Industries. Thirdhe the letter says that the finan- cial proposals of the Home Rule Dill are unsatisfactory and shouid be re- considered. Important objects, such as the development of Irish industries, im- ! tion for the purpose of drafting a Con- | stitution for their country, which would secure a just balance of all the oppos- ing interests and finally compose the un- happy discords which have so long dis- tracted Ireland and impeded its har- monious development? “The Government is ready, in default of the adoption of the present propo- sals for home rule, to take the necessary steps for assembling such @ convention. I should be much obliged if you found it possible to give me your views on this letter in order to allow the Government to consider the matter before Monday.” Hers-Oakes “Quality” Chocolates, 30c Ib.

Edward Spears of 217 Norwood av- enue and John Moss of 586 Odell av- enue, each 17 years old and members of L, Company, First Regiment, ¢n- camped at Maxwelton Park, were ar- rested in Kirkwood yesterday afternoon as they were about to board a car for the camp. Witnesses informed the Marshal they had seen two soldiers abandon an auto- mobile on the Denny road near the Kirkwood car line. The car had run out of gasoline. It was identified as the property of John J. Lynch, 88 Vernon avenue, and it had been stolen from Hamilton and Maple avenues. Spears and Moss denied having been in the automobile. Moss was in a stolen car that was fired upon by detectives several months ago. He was arrested later, but was not prosecuted. prigay i Old n Moned oc.

May 1%7.—Speaking Vice Premier Viviani, Marshal and other members of the war mission, General Coun- Hovelacaque has issued a state- t thanking the American people the reception accorded to the mie- an during its tour of, the eastern middle western states. * ~The whole mission,” he sald, “was sly gratified by the reception it with everywhere and not only “among many regrets there is one mission particularly wishes to sress, and that is, that in spite of S desire 4to do so, it was utterly ‘ahie to visit New Orleans, Rich- ‘ aot 3 : OE TA LOI EIN Ge OT (ap Wee Ire had interided to 40 so bet urgent business recalled it to Washington. _Meuehed Deeply by Reception. ‘The mission hopes that all the towns which so kindly -extendea in- vitations to it wf understand that only considerations of an imperious: | nature could have prevented it from | visiting them. “The reception everywhere accorded to the mission in the middle west was beyond words and touched us al! deeply. It was clear even to a super- ficial observer that everywhere the citizens of the different towns it pqs- sed through were wholeheartedly in sympathy with the mission ang all united in the common cause. It would be invidious to pick out any special ‘region or town as haying manifested its feelings in a more charming way than any other. “The memory that the mission will take away of its hurried trip through toe small a part of the United States will glow in the recollection of all.’ Support Inspires Confidence. “France already knows what a mag- nificent welcome was accorded us every- where, but we hope on our return to bring even more fully home to our fel- low countrymen a realization not only of the feeling that exists for France. but that this feeling is as earnest as it is widespread and of a nature to. in- roe MEN!

All our hearts go out in grati- tude to the different committees which are so successfully pursuing this ad- mirable work and both M. Viviani and the Marshal wish to express once more their deep appreciation of their ef- forts."’ France Expresses Gratitude for U. §. Reception of Mission. PARIS, May 17.—“The French nation and the French Government express their profound gratitude to the people and Government of the United States for the admirable manner in which they received Minister of Justice Viviani and Marshal Joffre,’’ said Jules Cambon, General Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in an interview yester- day. “While the warmth sail enthusiasm of this reception is, in part, due to the personality of our delegates,’ continued M. Cambon, “‘we recognize also that it is a tribute to the French nation for the efforts it has made in support of the cause of liberal Burope, which has now become the cause of the United States, The French nation is satisfied and hon- ored in being so well understood and this event will add to the bonds of af- fection uniting France to America.

SOLDIERS in Correspondence From the British Eye Witness BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN MESOPOTAMIA, April 16.—Nothing mvure efficient than the iines of com- munications and supplies serving the British forces in Mesopotamia can well be imagined. The days of muddle are ended and order has been evolved out of chaos. All that human agency can do has been and is being done to turn past failures to success and prevent fu- ture breakdowns in organization. In communications by road, railroad and river, everything has been laid out and developed on a_ well-though-out plan. Facilities for the loading and un- loading of vessels at Basra are now on an adequate scale. Stores in abundance are available and methodically con trolled. Medical equipment has been introduced on a lavish scale. An ample water supply is assured at every bass and’ camp. Sanitation in Hand. Sanitation has been taken in hand. An anit-fly crusade is being carried on though any appreciable diminution of the fly plague can only be achieved by nerculean effort and after long tinue. The construction of public works, houses, stores, electric light plants, cold storage, wharfage, docks, roads and railways goes merrily on, and on s0 large @ scale and of such solidity that it is not surprising if-the inhabitants of the country. interpret these activities as denoting a determination on the part vf the British visitor to remain permanert- ly in Mesopotamia. The feeding of the truops from the fir- ing line to the base is excellent, and in the army canteens there is an abund- ance of purchasable necessities and lux- uries. ‘ New Boats Success. From Basra to Sheik Saad one may travel in considerable comfort in one of the “‘P” boats of newest design, ad- mirably adapted for their purpose, which is that of a ferryboat. These boats are used for the rapid movement of wounded when heavy fighting is go ing on What is wanted for this pur- pose is as much clear deck space as pos- sible and no frills. The dDoats ere ad- mirably designed, adequately staffed and equipped with every conceiva.. comfort. Sheik Saad is the jumping off place for troops, stores and ammunition brought up and for the transfer from rail and light vessels to larger ships of sick and woundned going down to the base hospitals. Sheik Saad, itself, has two large hospitals, one for Indians and one for Europeans, and also a large cac- ualty clearing station.

Ex- amination. Special Correspondence of the Post- Dispartca. . ‘WITH THE GRAND FLEET, April 2 —~Submarines, mines and gunfire in the last three years have added more victims to the graveyards of the seven seas that in any other period of the world history. It will remain for the diver to clear up the mysteries that surround many of them. Even now the duties of these men, so little brought to public attention, is one of the most exacting of the war. A diver who has had wide experience, and who had only shortly before com- pleted the survey of a wreck declared it. was a difficult plece of work, nad one illustrative of the hardships of the profession. He had found the wreck, but fully a mile and a half from whére the vessel had foundered. A strong current had swept it that distance. ‘Will it be possible to go down to the Lusitania?” he was asked, recalling the discussion in American. marine quar- ters as to the possibility of salving the vessel. “TIT believe the water is too deep where she went down for any diver to reach her,”’ was his answer “Of course there have been many notable diving feats in recent years and new appliances are always being experimented with, though there seems nothing at present which would warrant the belief that a diver could go down to the great liner. It is possible to work at a depth of 150 feet, but no further.” Crab Got Two Fingers. He told of one of the most recent of his diving exploits: “I was sitting on the blade of a ship’s propeller trying to release a cable which it had fouled as she went down. As I finally got the cable free the propeller began to move and pitched me .off. It revolved several times. I thought my number was up, as I believed the blades would cut my air communications, and it was impossible to get to the top. The water was very deep. It didn’t, though, and my only trouble was in regaining my. feet again. It is ex- tremely difficult to get a footing once you have lost it. Sometimes you come up legs first. It was a narrow squeak.” One of the navy divers recently lost two fingers when nipped by crab which, he said, measured fully two feet across its back. There are many stories about divers which they themselves cast suspicion on, but this was not one of them. The fingers were gone when the man came to the surface in an exhausted condition. But working in the cold seas, where much of the diving of the navy now goes -on, there are no such menaces as the octopus of tropical waters. Met an Octopus Once. “Have you ever run across octopus?” the diver was asked. “Yes; it was earlier in the war, when I was doing some work in the Mediterranean. It was not as large as some -I have seen in my expe- riences, but it was big enough to make me particularly happy when it decided to leave the spot where I was at work. It was big enough to have shut off my communications had it wrapped itself around the tube.” ‘While many craft now lying in comparatively shallow water may be patched up and raised when the war is over, its certain that divers will principally be engaged in assertaining the whereabouts of wrecks, the causes which led to their destruttion, end the repairs necesary to attempt ary recovery of the vessels. The pro- fession has been largely augmented during the war. There are great difficulties jn surveying ships, partic- cularly if they lie {n northern seas, where the water is very cold and when they are at a depth of from 125 to 160 feet.

Secretary Houston explained today in a letter replying to an inquiry.. “The single thought in this con- nection,” the Secretary wrote, “Ig that the power might be used as @ club to be applied only in individual cases where it Is clear that an in- dividual. or corporation had estab- lished a corner or was practicing extortion. When that narticular sit- uation was controlled or the abuse eliminated the incident would be closed. “One suggestion which has been made is that the Government be given power to fix a minimum price with a view to stimulate production.

We need not wear costly furs on the Fourth of July. We can economize on our tables. We do not need so many courses at dinner. I think, however, that men as well as women must be taught to live more simply. The man and not the woman is the final arbiter of the menu in the av- erage home. “I have gathered froth the newspa- pers,” Dr. Shaw added with a twinkle, “that in the present crisis women are expected to do three things—to furnish inspiration to men who must fight, to preserve a sweet calm and serenity through all excitement and to econo- mize. If the wife economizes on the table before her husband has become convinced that such saving is essential! ~—well,»I am afraid she will have to fight hard to preserve her sérene calm. “Then womes must not be wet blank- ets to their men.

Y HERD is no moré bewitch- ing expression of the eternal fem!- nine than the dainty, frilly togs in which Mrs. New- lywed arrays her- self when serving the breakfast coffee to her husband. Laces and ribbons and ruffles and rosebuds. emp!oyed lavishly on cap and negligee, tend to make mere man feel awkward and super - masculine even at a glance. The jacket I have designed for such use has as its most appealing feature the row of little tucks around the waistline. These achieve an admir- ably trim and neat appearance for the negligee, which is not possible with models that depend on the careless draping of a sash or ribbon at the waistline to confine their fullness. Georgette crepe or silk mull are suit- able materials in ( almost any pale color, with a prettily patterned lace for the deep shawl collar. Narrow lace edg- ing is frilled around the collar, while finely pleated frills of net picoted in a color to match the jacket, jabot softly down the front and also drop gracefully over the arm. Heavy satin ribbon is tied at the waistline and forms dec- orative bows on the s.eeves. For the bride there is’ a special flow- ered ribbon in rosebuds and polka dots called “trousseau”’ ribbon, which would be pretty to use for the camisole. The ribbon, which is finished in points like Original Designs for BREAKFAST CAP AND JACKET.

The lower part of the camisole may be of crepe de chine, yussy willow satin or satin ribbon. Ribbon is quite a favorite for dainty camisoles where excellent finishing is required, as its edges can be whipped together so neatly. The cap I have designed has loops of the ribbon drop- ping like pétals over lace or net ruffle, while the top of the cap is of net and lace, . = to their sons and husbands.

YOUNG woman deplores the fact that she is like the hidden flower “left to blush unseen and waste its Sweetness on the desert air,” saying: | “I am considered pretty and attractive looking, and go to parties quite often. | But I seem never to be paid any atten- tion, and I am left sitting alone while the other girls are asked to dance. I go to high school and there am treated the same way. “Kindly tell me the cause of this, and suggest what I ought to do.”’ ; There is one prescription for your ail- ment. It ‘s, forget yourself. Get inter- ested in others and other things. As soon,as you do this, you will become m- teresting, and yon will receive the at- tention you now crave. Not even the homely sisters need be Wallflowers these days. In fact, enter any group of young people and you will rareiy find the pretty girl the most pop- ular. It is usually the girl who is alive with life, who sees something to love in each of her friends; who never forgets the personal equation and has something pleasant in the way of greeting for each who comes her way. If you are considered pretty and at- tractive, you are doubly blessed, and somehow you are at fault if you have .no friends. Perhaps you hug your griev- ance close to your heart and your face reflects your disappointments. This al- ways tells. Perhaps as you sit there in the danc4 you look with envy at the girl who has partners and she hesitates to in- troduce you. If you forget to be jealous of the girl who has partners and reflects the smile rather than the frown, she may bring her friends around you. Your manner may be stiff and unin- viting. Or you may not meet people half way, which is always necessary if you would be a part of the party. The only way to overcome this i8 not to think of your loneliness. Become absorbed in things to do. Cultivate girl friends by being gracious, by doing the kind, unexpected thing. Doubtless you hold aloof and are so self-conscious that those who do come to you find themselves strained in your gociety and so keep away. A beautiful blossom of a girl is very often a wallflower because beauty alone does not attract for long. There must be something besides. Some call it charm. Whatever it is, at least it is a friendly spirit that tries to be interested as well as interesting. Then maybe you are bashful. This too may be banished by thinking less of yourself. , ry The wallflower feeling is usually born of conceit—conceit that something in you ought to attract without your mak- ing the effort. This is folly. As I have stated many times in these columns, if you would draw people to you you’ must extend the right end of the horseshoe. You must lose ever- lasting thought of yourself in thinking of those about you. In a word, be yourself and remember others.

As finally prepared, the thin sheets are so pliable that they can be bent double without being injured.

Something that won’t shrink woolens, won’t turn silks yel- low, and launders even the most delicate chiffons. How to use it Pour boiling or very hot water over the flakes, and whisk into a lather. Dip the clothes up and down and work them about in this creamy lather. Do not ryb. .- It is rubbing cake soap on fabrics and more rub- bing to get the dirt out, that wears out your nice things. The Lux flakes dissolve instantly, so there is no solid soap to stick to the threads, to yellow or weaken them, and the thick lather is so cleansing that the dirt comes out absolutely without rubbing. Try Lux just once! You do not need to use Lux several times to learn how wonderful it is. One trial package will prove to you how lovely it leaves your things. Do not risk any more fragile silks or laces with ordinary soap, but get a package of Lux today. Use it for anything that pure water won’t injure.

It is not a dye or stain, but a simple and natural method of reviving the origi- nal color of hair that has turned gray from age, illness or other causes. This is called: “Canute Water for Gray Hair,” an entirely new, clear, clean, convenient treatment. It brings back the natural color by supplying those properties to the hair which have been exhausted, and which must be restored before the color will re- turn. Guaranteed absolutely safe and harmless to use. Does not soil hands nor scalp — contains no sediment, odor, grease or coal tar products of any kind. Apply “Canute Water for Gray Hair” once a day and before you finish the first bottle the youthful color of your hair will be restored. It will then remain that way and oy require a retouching once every w or two.as the hairs grow.

Ponape their breakfast by the barn door, Tim said to Pete: “This is our chance to run down the road."’ Off they ran, those two silly little chicks, thinking they were well able to take care of themselves. “There isn't a thing to be afraid of,” said Pete. “I knew there wasn't, though mother always says that terrible things are to be seen out on the road and that over the hill lives Mr. Fox and Mr. Weasel and many other bad folk.” “I never saw any of them, and I think mother just tries to acare us,"’ sald Tim. “How will we ever grow up if she keeps us under her wing all the time? I am tired of running and hiding every time the wind blows; besides there are #0 many of us she can’t get us ell un- der her wings, anyway.’ “I know it,” sald Pete, “and the other day when mother made such a fuss and called us all, I was the last one get there. so I had my head out an saw a strange dog come in the yard—fust as if we were afraid of dogs, when we have had Rover all of our lives in the yard with us. “Ola Grandfather Rooster laughed at her, but mother told him that strange dogs were not always to be trusted where there were young chickens.”’ “You see how silly she is about us,” said Tim; “‘everybody in the yard ..will laugh at us pretty soon and call us ba- bies. I am glad we ranaway. This will ._prove to mother we are grown up and can take care of ourselves.”’ By this time they had reached the top of the hill, so they stopped to look about. ‘“Phe world is pretty big, isn’t it?” said Tim. ‘Yes, but I am not afraid, are you?” said Pete. @ “Not a bit,”’ answered Tim, and then his eyes grew big, for coming right toward him, and looking very fieree, was a dog and, though he was not as big as Rover, somehow Tim felt afraid. Pete saw him at the same time and drew closer to his brother and there they were, two little frightened chicks, under a bush when the Jog came up to them. He poked at them with his nose and gave a eniff and trotted on, but Tim and Pete were so frightened they tum- bled over on thelr backs, sure they were killed. "It must have been Mr. Fox,” sald Tim; did he bite you?’ “T thought it was a dog like Rover,”’ said Pete, “but it couldn't have been because Rover never does what he di@ I thought he was going to swallow us.”’ “Let's go home,” said Tim. They only had gone a little way down hill when Tim cried “Peep, peep,”’ “I expect they p for certain, Oh, re should not have left mother after all.’’ | Under a bush by the side of the road huddled together sat Tim and Pete, trembling with fright when the strange “Lucile the Waitress By Bide.
