Major-General Pershing wus te command the first American treops p whieh will go to France. “At this moment I have nothing to say,’ the Colonel replied, when ques- tioned about President Wilson's deci- sion not to send volunteers to Murope for the present, “except inat, if tne administration had deemed it ‘vise to grant the request I made about raising division,..three and one half months ago, the division would have been ready to sail ghis coming Monday. “After 6 days intensive training in ’'rance it would not have been distin- guishable from the regulars, and it would have taken away from training of trdops at home only one-twelfth of the number of regular officers that will be taken in the division of regulars sent abroad. “Let em say, however, how pleased J am that Gen. Pershing, with a division, is going over.

WASHINGTON, May 19.—Col. Roose velt's friends in Congress who fought hard for the voiunteer provision in the army bill, expressed deep regret today that President Wilson had decided not to avail himself of the Colonel's offer.

Senator Harding, who wrote the amendment to the army Dill authorizing sending the Colonel's division, issued a formal statement saying he thought ‘t a ‘regrettable mistake’ to refuse the offer. ‘‘There was no purpose to glorify Col. Roosevelt,’’ he said. ‘‘Frankly, we were trying to popularize the war, to do something to awaken the American spirit. But we are enlisted for the war, and a good soldier salutes the commander in chief.” SENATE PASSES $3,342,300,000 in American History Carries by Viva Voce Vote.

WASHINGTON, May tion to prevent future railway strikes was proposed to Congress today Secretary Wilson of the Labor partment. A commission of nine to fix wage rates on all railroads for three-year periods was suggested. A bill submitted provides uniform pay on all roads engaged in inter- State commerce and provides heavy penalties for railroads paying more or less than rates prescribed. The system aims to. eliminate strikes and lockouts by creating a condition under which nothing would be gained by them. Workmen could strike if they chose, but since it would be illegal to pay them more than the amount prescribed by the commission or to change their hours of labor, Secretary Wilson believes there would be no strikes. All wage rates would be based on an eight- hour- law. In the initial three-year period railroads or their ‘employes could appeal for changes in rates if it appeared any were unjust, due to an emergency. The commission would sit in Washington and a continuols compulsory arbitration system would be created, The board would fix wages for water as well as rail sremerrneren systems. 19.—Legisla- by De- ns en ase seowee ‘MAJ, COMFORT OF THE FIRST .

EVENT Election Machinery Will Be Used —Registrars to Serve With- out Pay Needed, pees Y HAVE VOLUNTEERED, Gov. Gardner: Will Proclaim June 5 Public Holiday—Pre- parations for Big Celebration. Definite information has been received from the Government that the regis- tration machinery of the Election Board is*to be used for the registration’ on June 5 under the selective censcription act. About 1500 persons wil be needed to the work of registrars and it is hoped that it will be done by volunteers. The indications today were that this hope would be realized. About 200 had volunteered up to noon, in addition to the 100 already listed, and they were coming fast at both the Mayor's office and the office of the Board of Election Commissioners, in person, by mail and by telephone. All of the Democratic judges and Clerks in the Seventeenth Ward volun- teered today to perform registration service without compensation on Regis- tration Day. The Mayor will be authorized to ap- point a board for each ward, one of the members of which will be a doctor. This board will pass upon the fitness, physical and otherwise, of those who register, and upon claimed exemp- tions, and will have the direction of the selection by lot of those who are to ge. Acting Mayor /loe said today he would co-operate cully with ,Gov. Gardner in the plan to make Regis- tration Day a holiday. It would be necessary, he said, if the registration was to beraccomplished in one day. Chairman V/ilfley of the Election Board said that as the registrars will have to take an oath, the services of notaries would be needed and he hoped they would volunteer Excise Commissioner Lewis said to- day that he would close the saloons on | ttregistritia#r dar if he found that he had the power. He is taking the matter up with attorneys today. The National Security League and War Board of the Chamber of Com- merce will meet Monday and take steps to make registration day the big- gest patriotic event in the history of the city. The National Security League will meet at the Mercantile Club and the War Board at the Chamber of Com merce. The day selected yesterday by President Wilson for registration of all men betwen the ages of 21 and 30 will be proclaimed a public holi- dav in Missouri by Gov. Gardner. It will be celebrated on a large scale in St. Louis, with a great military and civie parade and public meetings. It is expected that the city will be deco- rated as never before with the Stars and Stripes and the flags of America’s allies. and that patriotic enthusiasm will be at a high pitch. All branches of the nation’s mili- tary establishment will be represent- ed in the parade. The army and navy contingents will be reinforced by civic, commercial and industrial organ- izations, and there will be an automo- bile contingent, each vehicle to be decorated with flags. Acting Mayor’ Aloe will issue a proclamation calling for the suspen- sion of business and the participation of all the people in the celebration. It is desired that every business house and every residence in St. Louis be decorated with the national colors, whether they are on the line of the parade or not. The parade will be through the downtown streets and through portions of the West End. STORY OF “BABY THAT TALKED” MAKES ITS APPEARANCE HERE No Proof of Its Accuracy Has Been Obtained in Any Place It Has Been Cireulated. A story about “the baby that talked,” after making the rounds of the cities and large towns of the east, has mad its appearance in 8t. Louis. In the brief span of its existence this baby has talked its way half across the conti. nent. The story seems to gain currency in the channels of gossip wherever it goes. It has many variations. One Is that a month-old baby startled ita mother by crying out: “Mamma, you dropped a plate.” Another is that the precious infant took its toe out of its mouth long enough to tell just when the Eu- ropean war will end. In each instance the story has a sad climax. The baby always drops dear after making its maiden speech. In St. Louis, as in other places where the story has been circulated, no proof of ite accuracy can be found.

Entire Nation in Struggaie. The power against which we are arrayed has sought to impose its will upon the world by force. To this end it has increased armament until it has changed the face of war. In the sense in which we have been wont to think of armies, there are no armies in this struggle. There are entire nations named. Thus, the men who remain to till the soil and man the factories are no less a part of the army that is in France than the men beneath the battle flags. It must be so with us. It is not an army that we must shape and train for war; it is a nation. To this end our people must draw close In one compact front against a common foe. But this cannot be if each man pur- sues a private purpose. All must_pur- gue one purpose. The nation needs all men; but it needs each man, not in the field that will most please him but in the endeavor that will best serve the common good, Thus, though a sharpshooter pleases to operate a trip hammer for the forging of great guns, and an expert machinist desires to march with the flag, the nation is being served only when the sharp. shooter marches and the machinist remains at hia levers. The whole na- tion must be a team on which each man shall play the part for which he is best fitted. To this end, Con- gress has provided that the nation shall be organized for war by selec- tion and that each man shall be classified for service In the place to which it shall best serve the general good to call him. The significance of this cannot be overstated. It is a new thing in our history and a landmark in our pro- gress. It is a new manner of accept- ing and vitalizing our duty to give ourselves with thoughtful devotion to the common purpose of us all. It is in no sense a conscription of the unwilling; it is rather, selection from a nation. which_has_ volunteered in mass. It is no more a choosing of those who shall march with the col- ors than it is a selection of those who shall serve an equally necessary and devoted purpose in the industries that lie behind the battle line. Conspicuous Day in History. | The day here named is the time upon which all shall present them- selves for assignment to their tasks It is for that reason destined to be remembered as one of the most con- spicuous moments in our history. It is nothing less than the day upon which the manhood of the country shall step forward in one solid rank in defense of the ideals to which this nation is consecrated. It is impor- tant to those ideals no less than to the pride of this generation in manifesting its devotion to them that there be no gaps in the ranks. It is essential that the day be approached in thoughtful apprehen- sion of its significance and that we accord to it the honor and the mean- ing that it deserves. Our inddstria! need prescribed that it be not made a technical holiday, but the stern sacrifice that is before us urges that it be carried in all our hearts as a great day of patriotic devotion and obligation, when the duty shal] lie upon every man, whether he is himself to be registered or not, to see to it that the name of every male person of the designated age is writ- ten on these lists of honor.

ISSUES APPEAL TO THEM Provisional Government An- nounces It Is United in Rejec- tion of Separate Peaée. PETROGRAD, via London, May 19.— Minister of War Kerensky has iseuved the following order of the day to the army: “The country is in danger. Each one must do what he can to avert the peril. No request to be allowed to resign, made by officers in high command, with a desire to escape responsibility at a time so grave, will be accepted by me. Deserters are enjoined to return to the army and fleet by May 28. All infrac- tfons of this order will be severely pun- ished.”’ After a conference with the Govern- ment, the Duma Committee and the Council of Deputies, the commanding Generals have returned to the front. The Provisional Government declared today that it was united in the rejec- tion of a separate peace, and that it adopts as its aim the re-establishment of a general peace which will not tend either to domination over other nations or to the seizure of their national po- sessions—a peace without annexations or indemnities. The Government expresses its con- viction that the Ruesian army will not suffer the Germans to destroy Russia's western allies. M. Milukoff, former Foreign Minister, has refused to accept the Ministry of Education because his presence in the Cabinet would involve a responsibility for the projected foreign policy of the administration. He considers this policy dangerous and likely to compromise Russia's relations with her allies. New Cabinet Decided On. The Government and Democratic par- ties have agreed to distribute the port- folios of the néw cabinet as follows: ‘‘Premier and, Minister of the Interior Prince Lvoff; Minister of Foreign Af- fairs, Téreschtenko; Commerce and In- dustry, Konovaloff; State Controller, Godneff; Socialist Labor, Skobeleff; Justice, Pereveieseff; Food and Supplies, Pieschehonoff, Socialist; War and Ma- rine, Kerensky; Finance, Shingaroff; Posts and Telegraphs, Tseretelii; Ways and Communications, Nekrasoff; Educa- tion, Manuiloff. Prof. Grimm is appointed Minister for Affairs concerning the constitutent as- sembly, and Prince Shakhovsky, secre- tary of the first Duma, is Minister of public aid. Minister of War Kerensky, addressing the congress of peasants, announced his determination to introduce an iron > discipline into the army. .He made an impassioned appeal for support in re- storing the morale of Russia's military forces, and his speech was greeted with enthusiastic applause. A great demon- stration occurred after he finished his address. The delegates embraced tne Minister and carried him on their shoul- ders to his automobile. Kerensky said, in part: ‘We must, befote everything, consoli- date the civic liberty the revolution gavs us, and we shall not do this if each does not do his duty to his tountry with com- plete self-sacrifice. Let us show the world we know not only how to destrov, but also how to create. “Soldiers, sailors and officers, I cail on you to make a last heroic effort. iI am your servant. Help me to show the world that the Russian army is not a demolished temple, but is strong and for- midable, capable of making itself re- spected and of defending the free re- public of democratic Russia. Will Introduce Discipline. “It may appear strange that I, a civil- ian, who was never a soldier, have un- dertaken the heavy task of restoring dis- cipline in the army, but I accept it be- cause 1 understand that this discipline is based on your duty and reciprocal re- spect. I have never known what this discipline s, but nevertheless propose to introduce an iron discipline into the army, and 1 am sure I shal) succeed. “This is necessary not only at the front, but aleo in the interior of the country, «n order to bring the liberty which has been conquered thto the co4- stituent assembly. This great national council, invested with’ sovereign author- ity, will show that it does not wish to repeat the sad events of the revolution in 1906, when the peasants conquered the land, but were not abie to keep it in their hands. “T am shortly going to the front. Al- low me, therefore, to say in the trenches that the ..uesian peasants wish to have the land which bélongs to them and that no force shall take it from them. But also allow mé@ to Say that the peasants demand, in order to achieve this object, that everyone shall do his duty in a epirit of self-sacrifice.” Bere With Cottage Cheese. - ee 200 ENEMY ALIENS LEAVE U.

Theodore Roosevelt ice in Franze: I shall not avail myself, at any rate at the present stage of the war. of the authorization conferred Dy the act to organize volunteer divis- ions. To do so would seriously inter- fere with the carrying out of the chief and most immediately import- ant purpose contemplated by this legisiation, the prompt creation and early use of an effective army, and would contribute practically nothing to the effective strength of ths armies now engaged against Ger- many. I understand that the section of this act which authorizes the crea- tion of volunteer divisions in addl- tion to the draft wes added with @ view to providing an independent command for Mr. Roosevelt and giving the military authority an op- portunity to uge his fine vigor and enthusiasm in recruiting the forces ‘now at the western front. Not Time for Compliment. It would be very agreeatle to me to pay Mr: Roosevelt this compli- ment and the allies tne compliment of sending to their aid one of our most distinguished public men, an exX- President, whew has rendered many ronspicvous “public services and proved his gallantry in many strik- ing ways. Politically, tod, it would no doubt have a very fine effect and make a profound impression. But this is not the time or the occasion for compliment or for any action not calculated to contribute the im- mediate success of the war. The business now at hand is undra- matic, practical and of scientific de- finiteness and precision. I shall act with regard to it at every step and in. every particular under expert and professional advice, from both sides of the water. That advice is that the men most needed are men of the ages contem- plated in the draft provision of the present bill, not men of the age and President Tells Why Ofter “es of Roosevelt Is Declined WASHINGTON, May 19. statement issued by President Wil- for the present, at least, to author- to raise an army division for serv- sort contemplated in the section which authorizes the formation of volunteer units, a that for the preliminary te amy the men who are to be drafted we shall need all of our experienced officers. Mr. Roosevelt told me, when I had the pleasure of seeing him a few weeks ago, that he would wish to have as- sociated with him some of the most effective officers -of the, regular army. He named many of those whom he would desire to have des- ignated for the service, and they were men who cannot possibly be spared from the too small force of officers at our command for the much more pressing and necessary duty of training regular troops to be put into the field in France and Belazium as fast as they can be got ready. Regulare Will Go to France. The first troops eent to France will be taken from the present forces of the regular army and will be under the command of trained soldiers only. The responsibility for the suctess- ful conduct of our own part in this great war rests upon me. I could not escape it if I would. I &m too much interested in the catise we are fighting for to be interested in any- thing but success. The issues in- volved are too immense for me to take into consideration anything whatever except the best, most ef- fective, most immediate means of military action. What these means ate I know from the mouths of men who have seen war as it is now conducted, who have no illusions, and to whom the whole grim matter is a matter of business. I shall cen- ter my attention upon those means and let everything else wait. I shall be deeply to blame ‘should I do otherwise, whatever the argu- ment of policy for a personal grati- fication or advantage.”’ a Eee QUICK ACTIONS EYPECTED IN WAR DRAFT. WORK ve | State and City Officials Have Been Given Preliminary Out- line of Their Duties. xw— WASHINGT L.., May 19.—State and’ municipal officjals already have ed given a preliminary outline of the work ; that will fall to them in carrying out! registration for the new armies. Gen. | Crowder, who will supervise the work, believes full co-operation and quick ac- | tion can be relied upon. Allowances must be made, when the military census of men between the specified ages has been completed, for probable variation from Census Bureau | estimates as to the total number of per- sons in this classification. It is regard- | show the exact 10,200,000 persons liable! fixed by the census estimate. Some Delay Because of Absence. There will be some delay also in hear- r ing from men absent from their homes | who will register by mail. The officials , of every State and town, however, have been authorized to issue cards to such men in their communities, in order to avoid the delay of application to home precincts. Anaylisis of the War Department's atatement :egarding mobilization of the national guard shows that equipmens: for all the force is not expected to be ready until August. By that time, how- ever, the redoubled output of Amefiean factories will be able to furnish cloth- ing, small orms and other equipment for the selective army, to be assembied a | month later, as well as for the full} strength of the regulars and the gcuari.

Reserve Battalions. The reserve battalions will be called upon to fill up the first line forces after the training draft has been withdrawn and efforts will be made to have the re- serves under training simultaneously with the active battalions for that rea- s0n. All cavalry units of the national guard will be drafted dismounted. It is re. garded as probable that a number of these organizations will be offered an opportunity to be converted into fleld artillery forces, as the gun divisions must be supplemented without delay. The national guard is far below its proper quota of artillery and even the regular proportion of guns per regiment muat be increased because of the nature of the fighting in Europe.

NEW YORK, May 19.—Seventy-five members of the National League for Woman's Service, in the home of Miss Anne Morgan, were surprised yester- day afternoon when Nathan Strauss suddenly assailed rich folk because of the small financial support they have given the league and other relief or- ganizations A report of the Campaign Fund Committee had shown that most of the $27,000 collected had come from working girls, and Mrs. Charlies Frank- in a plea for funds, mentioned that a millionaire had recently paid $200,000 for a painting. It was recalled that Charles M. Schwab, head of the Bethlehem Steel Co., which had made many millions through munitions con- tracts since the war began, bought a few days ago Turner's “Rockets and Blue Lights’ for the sum named, ‘“‘Maybe we can shame the rich peo- ple of this city who have the name of being charitable,"’ said Straus in the course of his. remarks. “I have given up my horses and my yacht and now my house is for rent or for sale. The proceeds of either transaction to be ed as unlikely that the registration wil! used for the benefit of the war suffer- ers."* Miss Smith took the floor to explain to those present that Mr. Straus’ opin- ions of the wealthy were his own and rot the league's. Miss Parker made this staternent to newspaper reporters: “Mr. Straus had no right to come into a private house and talk the way he did. It is disgraceful. He had no license whatever to give ¢xpression to his per- sonal grievances in that manner. I am tingling with shame all over.’’ At the meeting $500 was given. Of this amount Mr. Straus gave 8230.

Forward. By Marguerite Martyn. FTER six months’ absence from St. Louis—St. Louis that was heutral turns and one scarcely recognizes the old town. Patriotism, anti-Prussianism, seem to have exploded with all the more violence for having been too long and tov forcibly restrained. - I have been out in the Southwest where a state flavoring of war has ex- isted for some time; where the military atmosphere permeates every ‘walk of life; where military preparedness, not only organized but individual, is the or- der of the day; where every ranch house is fortified and every male and many a female citizen (and they have female citizens where I:-have been) has qualified as a marksman if not a sharpshooter of expert and every backyard is a rifle range even as it is a thrift garden here. I recall how when I left St. Louis, la- boring under the admonishment of neu- trality, discretion, never daring to hint aloud a partisanship lest sume German sympathizer fee] justified in protesting, that I had to readjust myself tu the state of simple frankness that existed in Arizona. In Arizona there may be enemy aliens if not Teutons, Mexicans—but, well, you should have heard the merry ha! ha! that went up when the Kaiser offered Arizona to Carranza as a prige. I know if Carranza has the merest rudiments of a sense of humor he musi have smiled deeply at the idea and again thankfully for the interception that res- cued him from having Arizona wished on him! Few Flags Seen in Kansas, Leaving’ the border at El Paso, pass- ing through New Mexico by night, awak- ening in Kansas next morning, one is struck by the sudden sense of somethings missing. Of course you cannot sound « people's mind from a speeding railway train, but there are flags and symbols quite available for signaling scntiments upon the subject which is vopermost tn the public mind. And it was the ab- sence not the presence of these symbols that was so conspicuous. All day long, traveling through Kan- sas, I kept a sharp lookout and did not use up the fingers of one hand enumer- ating the flags in the towns that flashed past. I'd hate to think the attitude of the whele State toward preparedness was refiected in the remark of one of its fair daughters who got on at Pratt. Her hair was the color I've always associated with Kansas, golden, like the wheat and maize and the coins that begin to replace our shabby greenbacks as soon as you get beyond Kansas City. And her eyes were blue and ingenuous. over a bridge at Topeka, she exclaimed: “Did you see those soldiers at the end of this bridge? Isn't that silly? The idea of cuarding this little bit of a river? Why, the Germans never could come up this river!’ St. Louis Like Garrison Town. And the next morning St. Louis burst upon us, bristling with the Firat Regi- ment guardsmen along the river front until it looked like a garrisoned border town again. On countless flagpoles the colors were breaking out to greet the morning, and on out the residence streets it was like passing through a lane of flags. And every man, woman and child one meets is trying to outd» the other in the novelty or attractive- ness of a patriotic buttonhole insignia. And forthwith I am swept into the seething activity of recruiting. Indeed, it is # chance in six short months. nd I am told T may do my bit with any branch of the reeruiting forces--the army, navy, Red Cross, new Fifth Reg'- ment. the marines—that they all nee. men.

When our recruiting flotilla weizhs anchor twice a day at headquarters, the Calumet Building, Seventh and Chestnut streets, and sets sail for a cruise (on wheels) there can be no doubt from the size and attention of the crowds that gather wherever we put into port, of the affectionate re- gard in which the navy is held. But are we such hopeless inlanders, such helpless tlandlubbers that although we've plenty of affection, interest and curiosity, we've little real service to offer our sea-going army” All the ‘strenuous efforts being made by the navy recruiting detachment, the lo hours a day of service being put in by the whole outfit, officers and crew Navy League and women’s auxiliary alike, all the advertising ingenuity that is being drawn upon, all the painstak- ing explanation and educational cam- pafgn being waged by talented orators, all the blandishments and amirable ex- up to the recruiting are not bringing results standard set by St. Louis in the other branches’ of the service. are averaging about day with one-fourth as tances. -But 8t.

Kerry Patch Meetings ‘Scrappy.’ The same amount of blame does not attach to every neighborhood equally and it is interesting to observe from the vantage point of the flagship of the fleet as supercargo how and Whirre sen- timent differs and how some sections of the city are more actively loyal than others. Two evenings we dropped anchor at the corner of Twelfth and O'Fallon. This is Kerry Patch and there was 2 time when you.might expect an audi- ence here to be ‘scrappy,’ no matter what the subject under discugsion. Nowadays the original element that set- tled there is so diluted by “foreigners”’ of all nationalities that the Irish can- aceep- is not man’ from me in the dining car as we passed; that crops out. Sitting across | not be blamed for all the belligerency Both these evenings, however, there were fistic disturbances to indicate that the old spirit hasn't changed. The first was when one man, failing to bare his head during the playing of the national hymn, was set upon by every other man in the as- semblage. Only a swift pair of heels saved him from more varieties of pun- ishment than I knew had been invented or. could be threatened in words until my recent initiation into a sailor's vo- cabulary. Word Slacker Causes Trouble. The next evening another bubble of excitement boiled up in the middle of the otherwise raptly attentive crowd, and another offender was seen to weave his way toward the outskirts and es- tablish a new record in footwork, The rash one it seems had -been overheard to murmur the word “slacker.” It was some minutes before that the crowd would let the speaker an the platform be heard. One man was not to be quieted down until he had made a speech on his own behalf in tones that put all other orators out of business. His wife fastened her arms around his neck beseeching him not-to fight, but he shook her off as well as several stronger arms... . “Nobody had better dare call me a siacker.”’ he roared. “I've got my hon- orabie discharge. | can show vou the papers. | can show them to vou. and it says on them ‘excellent,’ it does."’ While the band is playing on the upper deck and the orator is speaking in the THERE 4S ALWAYS THIS PERFECTLY USELESS BLockabe BROUND THE ENLISTING TABLE , BUT IT IS DOUBTFUL IF TT 1S AN OBSTRUCTION TQ RECRUITING i } amples being set by the women yeomen, | bow and the pictures are being reeled off atthestern and the bluetacket is giv- ing an exhibition of wig-wagging from the turret, the young women yoemei and thé petty officers and other volun- teers circulate through the crowd dis- tributing tracts, explaining the advant- ages of the Navy over every other branch of the service (and that is the easiest ‘hing Jack ashore does), answer- ing questions and asking every one whu looks eligible why he doesn’t join the Navy. Provd Son Is in Army. And you meet with some unexpected types. An elderly woman with a shaw! over her head seemed to be holding 2 group of children in a sort of spell. “You have a son in the army, haven't you, Mrs. Madson”?’’ a little girl said, as if by way of introducing her to me. “Yes,”’ she’ responded. “‘My boy has gone.’ She did not look sad, but smiled and nodded her“head appreciatively at the pictures and patted her foot in time to the music. “Aren't you anxious about him now ‘that we are in war?” I asked. ‘“‘No, he will not be taken unless it is God's will and if it is so, it is the most j} honorable way in which he could go.’’ We | 150 applicants per | t the new, section of |¢@* “But wasn’t it hard to let him go?” ‘‘i4 was, but it would have been harder to have a son who hesitated, who might | be suspected of being afraid. My grand father fought for this country in the Mexican war. my father in the Civil War, my husband was in the Spanish- American campaign ana my son has been with the regulars down on the border for several months. It is a satisfaction to me to feel that in this generation the stock has not deteriorat- ed.”’ Perhaps there is not so much need in the duties and obligations of citizenship in these so-called foreign sections of the city as we are wont to suppose! A youngster not more than seven years old climbed upon the door of our car and shouted in our faces, “I want to fight those Germans!" He spoke with a decided accent and I had so little tact as to inquire, “‘What are you? Italian?” “Dago?” he retorted, “No,” drawing himself up with much dignity, “I’m United States!” A total of 19 men signed up at the two Twelfth and O’Falion meetings. South Side Crowd Thoughtful. On the other hand at Grand and Hart- ford streets, a lively South Side bust- ness corner opposite a large business college which was in full operation next evening, not one signature was obtained. It was a quiet, well behaved outward- ly respectful crowd. Hats came off when the national air was played and every- thing was peaceful. Circulars handed out were often declined with the com- ment, “I have had one.” One man de- clining, said, “Wait until we are at war and I may be interested.” Not even one of Yeoman Norvelle Sharpe's speeches aroused them from their attitude of deep thoughtfulness. And have you heard Sharpe speak? A little profane he may be, but what he lacks in elegance he makes up in energy. rneatness and forcefulness. Sharpe, Steele and Pointack sounds like the name of a vaudeville team, but it ts not.

Men Are Thinking It Over. Men cannot be expected to make the momentous decision to enlist in the hur- ried few minutes left of a lunch hour or in an evening when we unexpectedly descend upon them. Nor do they. The noonday meetings which attract the | largest and most conglomerate crowds do not always bring forward a recruit. although it is inspiring when as on Thursday Major Wheeless of the Army Reserves having finished speaking from the courthouse steps, one man in blue jeans fell into ranks behind the squad - Jand marched back to headquarters and signed up. The parades are expensive and officers working under great strain and anxiety when the response is not instantaneous are apt to become impatient. But glance over one of these crowds and there is ample evidence that many are thinking it over. The thing to do is to keep up the reminder. Each of us can doa bit by reminding every ablebodied young man between the ages of 17 and % whom we meet that his country needs him in the navy more than anywhere else. And the navy already is on the firing line. SENATOR KIRBY'S COUSIN KILLS TEACHER WITH SHOTGUN Declares He Had “Sufficient Reason” for Slaying Man Who Boarded With Family. TEXARKANA, Ark., May 19.—An in- quest was begun today into the slay- ing yesterday of Clyde Merritt, a rural school teacher near here, by William Kirby, a farmer, in whose home Mer- ritt boarded. Kirby, who is a first cousin of United States Senator Wil- liam F. Kirby, killed Merritt with a shotgun in the yard of the school where he taught, at the morning recess period yesterday. He refused to make any statement ex- cept that he ‘had sufficient reasons” for his act. NICARAGUA BREAKS WITH BERLIN Costa Rica and Salvador Only Neutral Central American States.

WAITE FOUND TO BE SANE Executed now New York Dentist to Be Next Week, ALBANY, N.

Whitman, it was announced yesterday. The alienists found that Dr. Waite was sane both at the time the crime was committed in March, 1916, and on May 14 1917, when the examination was made. The report means that the death sen- tence must be carried out unless legal steps intervene, or Gov. Whitman exer- cises executive clemency. LETTER WRITER IS FINED $1000 to sion Man Convicted of Sending Them Women Applicants for Positions. Paul Weber, 4 years old, of 1529 Carr street. was fined $1900 by Judge Miller ir the Court of Criminal! Correction today for sending an obscene letter through the mails. Miller was arrested May 15 at the of- fice of the Globe-Democrat. Women ad- vertising for positions had received ob- acene letters and he was suspécted. One of the letters was found in his pocket. He said then that he did not know why he wrote them. In ceurt he made no ¢e fense. He will serve a year in the work- house. nts MOTHER AND HER Pp DAUGHTER BURNED 10 DEATH IN HOME Mrs. Joseph and Mildred Becker Lose Lives in- Early Morning Fire. FATHER SLIGHTLY: BURNED Girl. Was Engaged to Be Married to Member of First Regiment. Mrs. Joseph Becker and her daughter, Mildred, 19 years old, were burned to death when their home, a frame cottage at 4754 Hamburg avenue, was destroyed by fire about 1 a. m. today. Becker was burned on the face and hands. He es- caped from the house after vainly try- ing to reach his wife and daughter in their attic bedroom. Becker, who is a metal worker, «m- ployed at night, returned home only a short time before the fire started. He told policemen there was a fire in the coal range in the basement kitchen. On reaching home, he said, he went into the dining room on the first floor, di- dectly above the kitchen. When he en- tered this room, he said, he noticed it seemed unusually warm. He took off his coat, he said, and threw it on the dining room table and then sat down on a couch to remove his shoes. A few minutes later, he said he looked up and saw the tablecoth in flames. As he described the fire, i spread rapidly and when he tried to g» up a stairway to his wife's room, flames forced him to retreat. Becker fled from the house and ran to the office of Dr. J. A. Youngman at 5817 Gravois avenue. After receiving emergency theatment here he was take:: to the city hospital. The Becker home was destroyed. Fire- men found the bodies of Mrs. Becker and her daughter in the ruins at 2:30 a.m. The house of John Meyer at 4750 Hamburg avenue, next door, also was badly damaged. Meyer and his wife, Anna, escaped uninjured. The Beckers moved into their home only last Sunday. Oscar H. Dirks of 4852 Mecklenburg avenue, a private in the First Regiment, was engaged to marry Miss Mildred Becker, his mother told a Post-Dispatch reporter today. Death Forecast in Dream. Dirks visited Becker at the city hos- pital today. He confirmed his mother’s statement that he was engaged to Miss Becker. He called there last night, he said,. and remained until about 11:30. When he was about to leave, he said, Miss Beéker started weeping. He asked her why, and she said she dreamed the night before that she was going to die. Dirks said she.seemed greatly depressed by this dream and after bidding him good-by, said: “If I die I want you to put white roses on my grave.” Becker at the hospital today said the house was of flimsy construction and unplastered. The flue from the kitch- en range was in the room where the fire started. KILLS SHERIFF AND HIMSELF Illinois Slayer Ends Life When od . rounded by Mob.

Four hours later Niles killed him- self when a mob whieh had been searching for him surrounded him. Wells Found Guilty of Girl's Murder. COLUMBUS, O., May 19'—Weldon H.

AJOR-GENERAL JOHN M JOSEPH PERSHING (accent on the first syllable) is referred to by his ‘men as ‘‘Black Jack’’ when the General is not near. He is an erect, soldierly man of about six feet, a strict disciplinarian and one of the hardest workers in the army. Many persons, even those who do not like him personally, and who feel no attraction for him in his presence or out of it, regard him as the most capable officer in the army of the United States. Efficiency is his specialty, and the secret of his success. He can- not be regarded as a man of at- tractive personality or of charm of manner. It is doubtful if any one ever referred to him as ‘‘a bully, good fellow.’’ He is not. He is a soldier in every instinct. The warmth that makes close friends is supplanted in his make up by the coldness of efficiency, and the mechanical perfection which has made him a Major-General.

Per thing could be considered almost s the ideal soldier. The men who follow him oversea will know hat they are led by the right in, but he will not tell any fun- vy stories to while away the te ‘lium of the voyage. He does not talk much at any time and when he does talk, it is bout the business in hand. He is a cavalry officer, and hat he has been chosen to lead this division to a task which is essentially infantry work is a tes- timonial to the high regard for him which is entertained at the White House. President Wilson nust have gained his opinion of he officer from his work.. Tite vo men probably had not met before Gen. Pershing was called » Washington a month ago. ltl tlt —— PERSHING HAS NOTABLE RECORD AS A FIGHTER Saw Service in Indian and Filipino Casmpaigns and Was Promoted for Bravery in Spanish War—Native:- of Missouri. WASHINGTON, May 19.—Major-Gen- eral John Pershing, who is to lead America's first battle unit against the Germans, is 5 years old. He was born in Linn County, Mo., and was graduated from West Point in 1886, with the stamp of senior cadet captain, which meant he was highly regarded as a future sol- dier. He went into the cavalry and was sent to Gen. Miles’ forces. He be- haved gallantly in the Apache, Geroni- mo and Wounded Knee campaigns. In the Spanish-American war he was promoted for bravery at El Caney. In 18989 he was sent to the Philippines, where he was made executive officer of the Department of Mindanao and Jolo. In June, 1901, he was sent to the island of Mindanao, where a horde of mur- derous Moro Mohammedans were en- gaged in killing ‘‘infidels.’’ Gave Them Sound Druebbing. Pershing gave them their first check and a sound drubbing and then he went after .the principal mogul, the Sultan of Bacolo—who thought he possessed in the fortress of that town ample se- curity against the American forces. Pershing shattered the fort, routed the Malays and then, as Military Governor of the isiand, won big reputation as a militant; diplemat, for the natives eventually paid him allegiance, elected him as a datto and humbly accepted and carried out his judicial decrees, Later he led commands against the rebelious Jolos and subjected them as thoroughly as he had the Moros. Despite his years of Aistinguished service, 1906 found him with the title of Captain, but President Roosevelt gave him the record army promotion, jumping him over 862 other officers to the rank of Brigadier-General. In 1913 he was again in the Philip pines and completely reduced the. Moros to orderliness by his victory at the battle of Bagbag. He then became command- ant of the Eighth Brigade stationed at the Presidio, California, WJ to the time he was sent into Mexico after Villa. Married Senator Warren's Daughter. In 19% Gen. Pershing married Mias Frances H. Warren, daughter of United States Senator Warren of Wyoming. Thev had four daughters. tn the Pre- sido fife'on Aug. 17, 1915, his wife and three daughters were burned to death. In December, 1916, he was promoted to the rank of Major-General and was re- cently called to Washington to advise in the organization of his new army. Gen. Pershing at one time he intended to be a lawyer, and was graduated from a law course at the University of Ne- braska, but later entered the West Point Military Academy. The War Department's bureau of in- sular affairs was organized by Gen. Pershing soon after the Spanish War and for a time he was Its chief. During the Russo Japanese war he acted as military attache at Tokio and was with Kuroki's army. in Manchuria. ' SLAYER OF COL. B AUGHTER HOME, LONGS FOR Hi His 6 H, J.

The ad- dress touches the heart of loyalty; it thrills the pulses of patriotism; it presents vividly that glo- rious vision of loving sacrifice which every Amer- ican should be eager to make for the country. Moreover, it is an example of moving eloquence, elevated in thought, apt and forceful in expres-— sion. In order that it might have wider distri- bution, Father McClorey, by request, has sent that part of his address relating to the duty and privi- lege of American mothers to the Post-Dispatch for publication ; | between the combatants further increased and the number of hits to shots has been computed as one to sixty.

Peace has gone. War is here. Your souls must change with this change; for better or for worse. Middling virtue which can get by unchallenged in time of peace cannot survive in time of war. It must either expand into heroism or sink into baseness. The alternative presente itself to many of you now. It is an inspiring alterna- tive, fraught with the grand possibility of pa- triotic self-sacrifice. It is a fear-compelling alternative, carrying with it the other possi- bility of failure to rise to the occasion. You have the choice. Will you be worthy of the women of the Revolution and Civil War, who gave their sons, husbands, trothers and lovers, weeping yet esmiiing through their tears, broken-hearted yet grand-hearted, grieving to lose a man, yet proud of gaining a soldier? The women of Europe are gazing at you. Will you: measure up to their heroic propor- tions? Their patriotic sufferings have been a splendogato your éyes. Will you radiate back to them a like splendor? The answer to this question rests with you. It has become a truism that the blood of martyrs must moisten the roots of Faith be- fore fruit can glow upon the tree of Religion. Is not the same true of the blood of soldiers, of the roots of a nation and the fruit of a gen- uine: national greatness? The blood at the root gives the glow to the fruit. Suffering and gZreatness have seldom, if ever, been mutually dissevered either in the individual or the state. For instance, will not our imperfect sense of nationality be made perfect by the. trials of this war? Will not doubtful loyalty be made to blush, répent and transform itself radiantly? In religion, martyrdom is not a slaughter but a triumph, In the state, patriotism unto the shedding of blood is not a calamity tut an apotheosis. The mother of the seven Machabee martyrs urged them to encounter death for their palms. Will any of our mothers hold back their sons from glory? Let tenderness yield to magnanimity. “You are a mother. But so ts Columbia, and she has rights to the son as well as you. She has been in labor with us all that we might see the light of liberty; and what pangs! Do we owe her no return? We have been living on the fat of her land: some of us proscribed from our own land beyond the sea. Shall we have received without being willing to give? Besides, a dead backer of his country is a greater comfort to his mother than a live Slacker. The oné@ is a glorious memory for her, the other an tnglorious reality. And what is thére in the average life of a man with its “tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, creeping in its pétty pace from day to day, often full of sound and fury signifying nothing”—what is there that should make a mother prefer it for her son to the splendor of a youthful military death for country? On the one hand she sees only a a career of labor, amusement, trouble, grief. perhaps wrongdoing, ending in decrepit old agzé; on the other hand an heroic oblation upon which “the gods themselves throw incense.” Were this a war of conquest you well might hesitate, But it ts a war of honor and self- deferiwe. We have a right to course the seas. To maintain that right we ought to be willing to die. A barrier has teen raised to obstruct us. We ghall break through it. or at least be broken in the attempt. Our honor requires this much of us. Our fellow countrymen have been sunk. They cry to us for reparation from the deep. More of them will run the same risk: they ask Columbia to clear a path. And are we so secure at home from foreign aggres- sion? Germany is by no means a conquered nation. Wé may s00n become one at her hands if we sleep on. She has held England, France and Russia for nearly three vears. Let us not exaggerate the“importance of the late allied successes. And the submarine! And the possible defection of Russia; ‘at least her disorganized condition! And Germany’s united persistency! We must take the initiative now or probably rue our negligence later. If Bn- giand hed waked up in time prospects would be better. Let us learn from her that safety lies in immediate action. We are paying a debt of gratitude to France, the land of Lafayette. We are fighting to re- store heroic Belgium and Poland. We may hope that Ireland will profit by our arms. In a word, the lessening of human suffering, the restoration and conservation of smaller states, the course of popular Governments, our own rights, honor and safety are the motives of our entrance into the war. For this we have the solemn statement of our President. His word lends weight t6 the personal views of the case which we may has issued the call to°arms. Hig authority is from God. We are safe in obeying. We are ‘n the wrong if we do not. The President is weighted with a terrific responsibility; let us iessen its pressure by our loyalty, . Hie prefers loyalty even to success. Your church urgés you. Your Archbishops encourage you. Your own sense of honor urges you. Do not say: “War is terrible!" Lost honor is worse. Do not say: “How can we fight if we cannot eat?” For the President has prom- ised to whip food robbers into line.

Anderson of Boston predicted “a social and political upheaval” in case Congress fails to check the outrageous increase in living costs. With the present sentiment in Congress, we may believe that taxes for the support of the war will be fairly well distributed between the rich and the poor. A difference to be recognized, however, is this: Many of the rich will have an oppor- tunity in the abnormal! conditions of war to re- coup the amount of their tax. The poor will have no such opportunity. We need not speculate now as to the form the predicted ‘‘social and political upheaval” will take. But if the poor, in addition to their own tax bur- den, are forced also to pay in increased cost of necessitics the taxes of middlemen and specula- tors and market-riggers, we may be sure that something is coming and that it will be a some-/ thing particualrly dismaying to péeliticians and slackers in high places.

John A. Penton of the Cleveland Iron Trade Re-, view studied industrial conditions in France for four months. To a late gathering of: foundrymen in this country he declared that France's effi- ciency in the iron and stee) industry leads the world, a subject on which he ought to be well qualified for judging: Our data as to the wonders of French wartime achievement are enlarged by this expert view. With all our appreciation of this amazing nation's efficiency ip other directions, we were not pre- pared for this disclosure. The iron industry} maintained itself with difficulty in France in the past. Its ‘ore deposits were limited and costly to mine. Its coal beds were far from ex- tensive. If, with the most valuable’ of its re- sources in both ore and fuel in the hands of the Germans, the nation has been enabled to obtain results worthy of the very highest recognition, we are supplied with a new index of French ingenuity and Frencu capafility. Apparently the oppressive handicap under which the industry now suffers has only furnished a greater incentive for fulfilling the conditions on which true efficiency depends: France, stricken with a coal famine, but undauntedly making its lean ores an intensive agency of the most des- perate national need, is a picture worthy of the study of our own pampered steel magnates. s&s + & i. a a The vegetable tops are leaping from the ground these warm days and the lame backs and cal- loused hands are forgotten. s+ A. AW —— ae BRITISH ARTILLERY. heavy artillery at the Italian front is too laconic. It merely asserts that the guns are there and that they have given ‘material assistance.” What the world is anxious to know is something that will indicate how numerous they are. It would throw great light upon the news from the Isonzo. For many months reports from the French front indicated a growing strength of British ar- tillery and visitors expressed amazement at the mountains of ammunition they saw at supply bases. Then came the news of the terrific bom. bardments that preceded’ the fighting on the Hin- denburg line, when British guns established a marked superiority over those of the Germans. If the British have enough of the same kind of artillery to spare to their Italian allies, the new operations against Trieste may speedily develop into one of the war’s major campaigns, and Brit- ain once more will have amazed the world at her tremendous resourcefulness.‘ — a a Note the. subtlety of the German War Office: .\For two weeks it announces daily that all British attacks on Bullecourt Were repulsed.

Go- through the street, passirig one shop aft r another, she has a chance to com- women. |} pare prices, and if her tradesman is overcharging her she finds it out. More- over, if she sees her meat weighed she gets’full weight, and she gets everything that is coming to her—the bones and trimmings as well as the meat. House- wives who telephone to butchers have no means of telling whether or not they get full weight. I am sure it is reason- a@ble to state that not one housewife in twenty weighs the food that is sent to her. All Asked to Help. “Since I came to New. York I have talked with representatives of several leading stores, and they Say, that if women will carry home their parcels much of the cost and all the difficulties of distribution will be eliminated and the housewife will get better merchan- dise and more of it, since she wil! be sure of full weight, and that prices might be lowered when the item of dis- tribution is minimized. ‘Nothing. could be easier than for a woman who has her own automobile to carry home her purchases. In Newport, where I have a store and am brought into contact with the women of society who have their summer homes there, I have talked with a great many ladies on the subject, and they have all said: “*Why, certainly, we will be glad to do it. The car rung to and from the house four or five times a day, anyhow, and we might just as well do our own mar- keting as not.’ ”’ Women who have no cars will be all the greater patriots if they revive the market basket which their mothers and grandmothers were proud to carry, and the fact that they have to get out and walk every morning will do their com- plexions and their figures a lot of good. Badget Is Advocated. If, in addition to carrying home her purchases, every housewife would under- take to run her home on a budget, hav- ing a fixed sum to cover all items of expense, saying to herself, ‘‘I have so much a week divided into so many por- tions, and I must make it do, because I can't get any more,’’ just as men sgy in running their business, they would be do ing additional patriotic service.

The Use of Black in Decorations .’. JRING the last few years there has D been a marked increase in the use of black in house decoration, and, when black is judiciously employed, in conjunction with bright color, the result may be good; but care and taste are needed, if this kind of decoration is to} be realiy successful. The mixture of black and bright col- ors, if the amount of each which is used is not well balanced and the plac- ing judiciously done, may have a restiess effect, and so render the room which is treated in this way anything bu! a pleasant place in which to spend much time. Indeed, a certain restiess- ness and overuse of ornament seems to be the chief fault of some of the most modern decorations. Small quantities of bright colors, when really skillfully used, are delightful in connection with black, but, if their em- ployment is overdone, the effect becomes dazzlirg and wearisome. The colors used with black should be, as a genera! rule; really bright, the most vivid reds, blues, purples, greens, and so on, or the effect may be dingy; though, occasion- ally, the result of an extensive use of a single color, such as blue, in a quieter tone, may be happy. An effective room may be arranged for those who like this scheme of deco- ration, in which all the woodwork, in- cluding such part of the floor as is not covered by a carpet and rug, is painted a dull black. The walis may be hung with a pale gray paper, having a rough surface. The carpet or rugs in such a room should be gayly colored, preferably Eastern; a Turkey carpet would be suit- able. If there are loose covers on the chairs, they may be baick, made with a piping of some bright colored material, and a three or four inch border round the lower ed@e.of the cover of the same stuff as the piping. A good effect is gained, in such a room, by having the window curtains hung on wooden rings from a fairly thick wooden pole, both pole and cur- tain rings being painted whatever gay color is most suited to harmonise with, or accentuate, the general effect. The curtains might be of black, with applique or stenciled borders in bright colors. Painted or black furniture is most suited for such a room, as the rere a pn vernon = — oe eee — RE out with the course on practical salesman- ship, opportunity will be provided for students to enter stores as saleswomen on part time, that they may have prac- tical experience of their own. ‘The teacher of salesmanship must be what is popularly known as a good mixer. She must be democratic and not hold herself aloof from her pupils; she must be able to see their problems and help them get the solution, “Also she must get the employer's point of view, that work paid for by him must be of definite, practica) value to the store. Also the teacher should be too big and too well trained to see only the immediate end in view; she must realize the difference between quick ‘efficiency methods’ and the educational ones which require more time but have, also, more real permanent value. “and the teacher must often help the employer to see that difference. It takes a broad-minded woman, with the social viewpoint, to know how to distinguish between welfare work which is purely paternal—and which the girls dislike. for they do not erijoy being patronized —and co-operative educational work which is helping them to help them- selves “A good teacher is the best kind of welfare worker for the whole store, em- ployer, employes and all. And the more experience she has had in other typos of work, in the teaching of other sub. jects, the more background she has to take with her, the more successful «he will be.

A quieter scheme of decoration than that outlined would be that of a room in which the paint wag of the same dull black, but the walls, carpet and hang- ings of different shades of ‘blue, the carpet being, of course, of a considerably deeper shade than the walis. The same coloring might be carried out through- out the room, and there might be quite a lot of difference in the shades of blue employed, as long as they really har- monized, and a little purple might be effectively introduced. Monotony weuld be avoided by small touches of contrast- ing color, which might come in the shape of pottery, cushions, mirror frames and so on. Black china is being much more used at present than has been the case for a long time past. The famous black basalt, made by Joseph Wedgwood in Staf- fordshire in. the Eighteenth Century, and so much admired by his contempo- raries that it was exported in large quantities to the Continent from England had for many years appealed to few people beside china collectors. Now, however, the old patterns are be- ing copied and the quality of the modern work is so high that it is hard for any- one, who is not an expert, to tell the difference between the original and the reproductions. Certain kinds of flowers look well in the black china, and extremely effec- tive table decorations can be made in this way. These small arrangements of black and bright colors have this advan- tage, that they can be introduced with good effect into any ordinary room. Placing the Blame.

N the ever-fasci- nating history of dress, which has reflected mor- als, manners, epochs, battles and religions — and re- flected them in such a way that apparel has . be- come the symbol of th® world’s ups and downs—the role of juvenile dress has only recentiy been placed: Scme. where, somehow, in the last century there has b a strong upward movement, begun by some mental or moral force that changed women’s ideas concerning juvenile apparel and turned children from ugly imita- tions of their elders into adorable yuung folk with a style of their own. Ifhave designed two dresses, for the ore for practical daytime wear and the other for parties. Striped ting- ham, voile and otb- “er such fabrics are suitable mediums for the model at the left. Dull blue striped with white would be pretty a combined with plain white batiste for the sleeves, and white linen trim- mings, such as neckband, belt and skirt- band.

LITTLE GIRL: by means of their contrast. Two or three tiny cordings finish the neck, and at the front a purely childish decoration of a ribbon bow is given unusual] charac- ter by being pulled through two slits in the net. The ribbon girdle, with its trappings of looped streamers and pock- ets attached, is made entirely separate from the frock, so that it can be worn with other simple little frocks, to give them a somewhat festive air. —_, /Servian Styles Shown by Dressed Dolls N exhibition of dolls, dressed in A Servian national costumes, whicl, has been sent recently to the United States, is particularly interestin,s just now because of the various points of. similarity noticeable between their dress and feminine fashions sent by Parisian designers to America today. First of all, there is the apron; not a fluffy, fetching creation of Georgette Crepe or silk, as the French dressmak . er sends it forth this season, but a solid affair of bright-colored wools. skirts, too, are another distinguishing feature, and so are white sleeves. And, moreover, it would be difficult to find more vividness of color than these cos- tumes exhibit, even in this colorful year. One of these Servian dolls wears 43 skirt striped with many colors, rather dark in general effect, in spite of rich green, blues, magentas and other bDril- liant hues. This is turned back, tunic fashion, over a white skirt which is edged with a narrow lace and finished off with a row of fancy stitching in orange-colored wool just above the hem. Above that is a band of embroidery, red flowers and green leaves, the green stems being couched on with the orange-colored wool. The sleeves of the white blouse are gymilarly decorated and over this is worn a sleeveless bolero of purple velvet, embroidered around a!! edges in gold. The apron worn with this costume slightly resembles an American Indian blanket. It is of dark biue wool, striped with red and green and narrow lines of gold. It is fringed with red, blue and green wool. A worsted bag. attached to one wrist, is knitted of dark-blue wool, with a conventional design in mauve and green and yellow, and is finished off with tassels not unlike many of the gay little hand bags seen in American an‘ European shops this spring. The stockings, too, are gay affairs. They are knitted of bright red wool, and worn with soft leather sandals. The veil-like headdress is of cerise. with a nagrow edge crocheted in gold thread and various gilded meta! orna- ments. Blue flowers, resembling Ddacn- elor’'s buttons, adorn each side and the whole thing is fastened under the chin by black velvet straps. Several strings of blue, white and orange Seads, worn as necklaces, complete this costume. A second doll wears one of those popular striped skirts, in red, yellow, black and white, and her white under- dress is elaborately embroidered in bright blue, red and yellow. The bolero of green velvet, worn over tHe white- sieeved blouse, is embroidered lavishly in gold and her purple stockings are em- broidered im green and red. Her apron is of brick red, striped in black, white and gold, and she wears a necklace and bracelets of gold beads and medallions. Her hoad-dress is a gariand of red and blue flowers and green leaves. Cross-stitching isa the decorative mo. tif of the costume worn by a third doil. An almost geometrical design in ve'- low, green, blue and red is embroidered between two rows of red, all in cross- stitching. The white sleeves of the blouse, under the goki-trimmed bolero of bright dark blue velvet, are similarly treated. This costume includes an apron of white cot. ton. With a gay-colored conventiana’ design out'ined in biack. anti «a hem- atitched hem above which are ‘ines of that running stitch so popular just now. in yellow and biack., Striped Another somewhat simpler costume shown is of plain white cotton, em- broidered in red and blue, with lines of yellow. The white apron is striped near the bottom in yellow, red and black. The bolero is of black cloth em- troidered in gold. A flowing head-dress of white, hem- stitched and fringed, surmounts a flat military cap of red embroidered in gold. This doll, too, wears the universal foot- gear, the opanka, a sort of leather sandal. Still another doll appears in the dress of a Montenegrin lady. This includes a handsome flowing robe of cherry sat- in, with much gold’ lace for trimming. lhe white blouse is embroidered in golé, and the lone, loose coat of white broaa- cloth is edged with red with a line of gold. Her stockings are of plain black silk. The long coat and’the graceful black lace head-dress are said to be quite characteristic of the ladies ‘of | TD At the Club. ig: “You look tired, old man.” Jack: ‘‘Well, why wouldn't |?

Two New Lysol Products Giving time-proved protection Lys0h Toilet Antiseptic contains the famous Lysol Antiseptic, and therefore protects the skin from germ infection, Ly9 Shaving Cr makes razor and brush antiseptically clean, keeps ine fection from cuts and flesh exposed by shaving. These two new products give the same protection to your skin that Lysol Antiseptic gives to the Hos- pital, the Doctor, og the Surgeon. They destroy all disease germs before they can work injury. No matter how careful you are, your skin is never free from tiny breaks, scratches, cuts or chapped places where poisonous germs fhay enter. Before the innumerable, minute wounds heal, they should be made antiseptically clean—germ free—to guard against irritating soreness, blood poisoning and skin diseases which leave permanent blemishes, ; Lysol Toilet Soap not only gives this protection, but is also healing and soothing for the most delicate skin, leaving it wholesome and sweet. As a shampoo it cleans the scalp of Dandruff and makes the hair soft and lustrous. As valuable for baby’s bath as for hard- ened and roughened skins. Lysol Shaving Cream gives a refreshingly cool, soothing shave with no after-effect of smarting or skin stiffness. But, best of all, it destroys the germs seek- ing entry into the tiny cuts and scratches, and cleanses the skin for quick, healthy healing. It gives the anti- septic shave. Ask for these Lysol products at any dreaniat s, and for your skin’s health accept none other than those bearing the signature ef Lehn & Fink, sole makers, found my wife had in put her time to- day varnishing all the chairs.” | ar a Whenever or wherever you buy it, it is certain to be smooth and extra fine, Look for the sign, St. Louis Dairy Company : the name spells “Guarantee,’’ come from pure cream butterfat— St. Louis Dairy Company’s Ice Cream is so much richer thanordinary ice cream because it contains so much more cream butterfat—made strictly according to the State and Federal Government Standards for Ice Cream.

COPENHAGEN, May 19.—Destruction of the Zeppelin J.-22, reported without detalis in an official British announce- ment on Monday, occurred off Esbjerg, within sight of the Danish coast, ac- cording to the accounts of eyewitnesses from villages on the shore. These accounts Indicate that not one but two Zeppelins were destroved on that day, inasmuch as the exp @sion of an airship off Terschelling was reported from Holland, at a point too distant to cover the same case. The loss of the second airship is attributed to lighthing. The L-22 was seen off Esbierg while making one of the customary dally ob- servation tours up and down the coast of Jutland. It was engaged by a Brit- ish airplane which presumably was looking for Gertnan destroyers that of late have heen fishing up British mine fields in this region. The Zeppelin was not far from shore and was plainly visible. Its opponents could not be seeh, but their presence was made known by the booming of guns Witnesses saw the airship dart upward after the first round of shots. hen they heard a second salvo. The Zeppelin endeavored to manétiver itself out of range, but with the third broadside it went down, mortally hit. At firet it sank slow/y and then plunged fown at great speed into the sea below the horizon. _.... AEE MRT Brings cooling, soothing eomfort to tired, swollen, burning feet.

AN INTERESTING WAR BIT. B ten about by practically every writer in the world and thou8ands Who aré not posed concomitants of war. A little book called ‘‘One Young :Man,”’ by J. E. Hodder Williams, lished, approachés the war from a new angle—it narrates the é6xpériences of an average young man in the war. There is nothing in the volume about Victoria crosses, daring deeds or the usual spice of the average war story. At this time when we are about to send our own young manhood to the trenches, the booklet is peculiarly timely. The young man of thé book is merely a London clerk. His eéxpériénces§ in training camp, back of the lines and in the trenches are described with fidelity of detail and with no attempt to gloss ovér thé uhhéroic parts. The young man goes through the fight- ing at the Ypres salient and in the first battle of the Somme is wounded, losing the sight of an eye and the use of one hand. He goes back to clerking. That's all. It is merely the unvarnished story of the average youth who has done his bit, but it Is a true-story and far moré interesting than the dreams of war writ- érs who use their imagination freely to fill out dull spots in the narrative. (Doran.) THE NEWEST CARD RULES, It seems that the fules for card game3 change, just a& the styles for shoes and neckties, so up-to-date publications are as necessary for card devotees as for baseball fans. Thé ohly objection to be found is that thése new rule books do not indicate the changes nor on whose authority they are made. The latest book on card games is issued under tie rather familiar title ‘Hoyle Up-To-Date. Official Rules of Card Games.’’ The volume is editec by R. F. Foster. ‘Va'- ter H. Barney contributes the whisi rules and David A. Curtis the puker rules. There are rulés for more games than most persons knéw 6xisted wend , he undertakes to show, profoundly in- fluenced St. Jérome, a dominant figure of the period which witnessed the down- fall of paganism, and Dante, a dominanr figure of the period which constituted the nexus between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The achievements of these two men he attributes, to a degree which some may be inclined to question, to the in- fifence of noble women friends. Eustochium and her daughter, Paula, gre assigned as the great inspirers of St. Jerome, watching over him for mnrre than a third of a century with the most tender solicitude, developing to the ut- most all thé reSources of his matvtiless intélle¢t and converting the retiring and diffident monk of Chalcis into the bright- est luminary in Christendom. Beatrite is the guiding star assigned to Dante. In reference to Beatrice he takes sides with those who think that she was a real person and argués it with ability. He concludes that because Dante’s method was to base his alle- goriés on charactérs, either historical or mythological, that had a recognized ex- istence, that Beatrice, the leading char- acter of his works, Was not a mere in- véntion. He says: ““‘To have made, in the case of Béatrice aloné, an exception to all thé canons of art which he always 86 scrupulously followed—to have all the action of his immortal works revolve about a mere abstraction—would have seemed to Dante nothing 1688 than a lit- erary monstrosity.’ The author accepts. however, the teaching of D’Ancona, that capacity, a8 a woman, as a living per- scnification and as an animated symbo!

Moroney is regarded as one of the best disciplined players in the league. Without Moroney it is extremely doubtful if Central can defeat Yeat- man. Moroney’s absence leaves but two good hitters in the Central lineup -~-Larmore and Schleicher. Weldlich or Larmore and Schleicher will form the Central battery, while Roettger and Green will work for Yeatman. In the morning gous today Cleveland tackles Soldan. leveland has yet to win a contest and hopes to get started at Soldan’s expense. Soldan is in sec- ond place with four games won and one lost. Schulz and Veinfurt will be Midkiff’s selection, while Coach Cook will rely on the undefeated Bobby Jones and Gazzolo to win for Soldan. LL...

The proper solution is to fine the offending player and see that the fine is paid, Jennings believes. “It isn’t treating the public fairly and it is not treating the club squarely to suspend the stars of the game.”’ Jen- nings said. ‘“‘People come out to see the stars play. We know that, for every time Ty Cobb is out of our line-up the wate receipts take a big tumble. And every time Walter Johnson is advertised to pitch in Detroit the receipts jump about 30 per cent. "What does a club get when a star is suspended? aA financial loss. And what does the star get? Nothing more fhan a vacution. Paseball clubs should fine the player for every day that ‘e's out of the line-up. ‘‘Raseball clubs have been in the habit of paying the fines of their players, and in thie they are uliar, for in no other business does a firm fail to dock its «m- ployes, especially if they are trouble- makers. Any time a player's pocket- book is hit, you hit his weak spot. And that ie what should be hit: not the club that has his contract or the public, which pays the price to see him play.” SOLDAN OVECOMES EARLY LEAD TO BEAT CLEVELAND Boldan defeated Cleveland High in their game this morning at High Schoo!

The season wil finished with a aix- club circult, the magnates announced after a meeting here yesterday. ——- = Jones and L. ay the American Association. It’s a All the misery has been attributed to war, which is said to have submar- ined the box office to the point of frightfulness. Investigation, how- ever, leaves Old Man Mars guiltless, comparatively. The wretched outlook for this AA boat appears to be due to bad weath- er originally, and to Indianapolis, sec- ondarily. Storms and cold completely submerged all box offices for several weeks. Now that this trouble has in a measure de- parted, the season has been rendered un- interesting by the runaway race of the Hoosiers, who, with 25 games won and 6 lost, yesterday, and only 112 games in the schedule, this year, seem to have the flag in escrow. oe + 7 Mutiny Aboard, Too. ORSE than weather ahd the Hoosiers, however, is the threat of mutiny now looming blackly on the quarterdeck. President Hickey, who thinks the first half of the season is already ruined, has rearranged plans and says he is at work on a new sched- ule scheme. This is to abandon the much-talked-of inter-league post season series with the International, and to divide the present schedule into two sec- tions, the champions of the two sections to play off for the title at the close of the second section. In this way the seeming walk-over for Indianapolis may not ruin the entire year’s prospects. Another club, such as the ambitious and fast-climbing Bresnahans of Toledo might have a chance at the second series, thus keening alive interest in the organi- zation. - B = Is Ban Johnson in the House? But other members of the association do not favor pumping artificial life bel- lows-fashion, into the moribund organi- zation. It is said a majority of club owners is opposing President Hickey and threatens to scuttle the ship rather than let his plans go through. Thus, tossed by the storm, threat- ened with being submarined by the heartless war, and with its officers ready to fly at each other's throats, the leaky old vessel is drifting on to a rocky lee shore... And the helmsman doesn’t seem to be very clear as to the course. Call for friend Ban B. Johnson! - An Eye for the Future. Cc HARLEY BARRETT, whom De- troit filched from under the nose of Phil Ball, has just returned from a scouting trip for his new employer, Own- er Navin of the Tigers. He says the woods are atill full of acouts, but that all the money they spend in purchasing players wouldn't pay for the French fried “spuds” used in Berlin on a potato-leas day. “Owners are not signing men to con- tracts, now.’ Barrett declares, ‘‘with the possibility that conscription might anatch them away quickly. The bushers we pick up we place with minor league clubs and agree to pay a certain sum, say $300 each, to those clubs if we ever want to pull them back. I have about 22 men placed in this way. ll hands to man the pump, boys, or the old boat will surround more of the sea of trouble than she can-carry. “Tt surely looks like a bad yedr for those minor leagues which have been accustomed in the past to rely on the sales of players to major leagues for their incomes. It now appears that retrenchment will yet be adopted by the big fellows and that very lit- tle money will change hands.” * s . Mike Was Wise. HE-v poor minors! Mike Cantillon knew something when he declared that he doubted if there would be a minor league in existence, under the class AA standing, by July 4. Some of them will be done before June 4, it ap- pears. Bush makers. either the playthings of sportsmen, or advertisin mediums used to exploit smaller cities. War aqueezes all the water and all the sentiment of these organizations. The major leagues, founded on a more sold basis, are not subject to the same wrecking influences. Let’s Modernize, Ban. HERE'S one feature about baseball today toward which Ban Johnson seems to have turned the glassy and frozen eye. It is the system of official scoring now in vogue. The system. may seem all right, but it shows a fatal weakness here and there, which need not exist under different conditions. In this city and in certain other major league centers the scoring is done by a number of newspaper writ- ers, each taking turn, and the four or five splitting the $600 or $700 paid for the service. Formerly one man landed the plum, which caused many envious and sometimes jealous eyes to he cast upon the scorer. The split payment is supposed to quiet the storm in the bos- oms of the eligibles. It is not necessary to dwell on the unfavorable points in this system. Suffice to say that it is defensible neither on the score of efficiency nor of impartiality. The only proper way toe handle this matter seems to be to estab- lish a ataff of scorers, just as is done with umpires, under direc- tion of a chief of staff and the president of the league, Who shall order them to shift from point toe point. leagues are seldom money- They are, for the most part indiv dual CORING and the statistical end of baseball have developed to im- portant proportions and it is right that the handling of this branch should be in the hands of men who have no other duties to distract their attention and who will, at all times, be able to devote their full time to painstaking, unbiased scoring of all contests. There is seemingly no reason why a scorer in the pay of a home clab owner, should be permitted to judge contests at his home park only. If he in a capable official and the job suite him, he should be atteched to the league staff and sent from city to city. Jack Smith Still Tops N. L.

With Allen Lincoln, the track star of the high schools of the State, and his team-mate, Eddie Hart, running true to form, the Webster High Schoo! easily annexed the annua! track meet held by the county schools at Francis Field yesterday afternoon,, counting 68 points. The nearest competitor, Kirkwood, tal- lied only 27 points. Webster failed to capture only two events, the pole vault, which was won oy Huckens of Kirkwood, and the 880 yard run, with Kenyon of the same school winning. Outside of these two. events Webster reigned supreme. When a rival neared the Webster total, the 8S O 8 was sounded for Lincoln and he always responded nobly. He put Web- ster in the lead at the start by winning the 100-yard dash. In his trial heat he broke the existing record of 10.28, trav- eling over the stretch one second fast- er. In the final he tied the record, winning easily. Lincoln Wins Again. Lincoln’s next triumph came in the 2%-yard dash, another mark being smashed to smithereens. . The record was formerty held by McKeel of Well- ston, who made 23 1-5e and had endured for four years until Lincoln lowered It. His time was 22.48. A discus hurl of 111 feet, a scant 16 inches behind the record, was his third victory. His last triumph of the day came in the shot-put, he ae the sphere # feet 5 inches. In the four events that he entered he captured first place in all of them. This was the best individual performance of the day. Eddie Hart was another brilliant per- former. He won the broad and high jumps and also both hurdles, tying t record in the 22-yard hurdles. The only black mark against his other- wise per day was a fourth place gained in the pole vault. Hamman was another Webster star. He equaled the record held by himself in the 440-yard run. Lincoln, Hart and Hamman were also members of the winning relay team.

MILLION Rate at Which St. Louis Is Ex- pected to Buy Bonds Up to. June 15 The War Board of the Chamber of Commerce this morning called upon 150 civic organizations of the city to mob- lize their efforts and surplus funds for the purchase of [Aberty Bonds. Acting President. Richard Hawes has request- ed that.the various organizations place the matter of the purchase of bonds be- fore the membership before next Thurs- day. Hawes sald he expected St. Louis to reapond to the call at the rate of $1,- m.900 a day from now until June 15, in order to take up the issue allotted to the city. Hawes said that more than 1,250,000 stickers had been purchased by. busi- nese houses in two days that 56000 flogan placards had been distributed, that grocerymen were wrapping up fiogan slips in every package, that every laundry was carrying the slo- gan aticker, and that enough of the stickers had not not yet been printed to supply teh demand from all over the State. Thousands of the slips and stickers are being printed daily and distribution will be made as fast as possible. “We have ordered ,enough stickers,” said Hawes, “to supply whatever deficiency there may be.’ The appeal to the civic organizations of the city was made unaer the battle ery of “Do It Now—Be a Minute Man,” and was closed with the statement: ‘The man who shirks his duty now is in the samme position as the sentry who leaves his post.’’ According to Hawes, the city never faced as important, as imperative a situation. It is expected that at least $250,000 worth of bonds will be purchased by fraternal orders of St. Louis. A sub- committee of the Ward Board, com- prised of James C. Jones, chairman; M. lL. Wilkinson, Hollis E. Suites, Jo- seph Schiecht, Fred Hugo and Charlies ‘EB. Golterman, will have charge of re- Gelving the purchases. The War Board has received promises from the majority of the business houses to include a sticker, “A Liberty Bond in Every Home,” in each pack- age.

Greathead Thinkist immediately began work, and in due time the line was equipped, all train crews were dis- charged, and the office boy given a few brief directions for the operation of the expense re- that started from Pittsfield was stopped at Lenox by the boy, precisely as the specialist said it would be, started again in accordance with expectations, and proceeded down the line and back on perfect schedule. Great was the pleasure and satisfac- tion of the president and d tors when they saw the new scheme put in suc- cessful operation. They refused the of- fice boy's request for a %-cent increase in salary. Then the unexpected happened. When the office boy started a car from Pitts- field one morning he surreptitiously re- moved from his jacket a copy of Old Cop Collier's iatest work, entitied “Cross-Eyed Sam, the Terror of the Weat, of the Hero of Dead Man's Guich.” The boy soon became eo thoroughly engrossed in the portrayal of the hero's escapades and thrilling experiences that he forgot his duties, and the car sped on and on, the phonograph wildly pro- claiming the names of the stations past which the car whiazed at full apeed. | Suddenly the boy realized the gitua- tion, sprang wildly for the switch, and brought the car to a stop as it was crossing the bridge over the Housatonic River between Sheffield and Ashiey Falis. He also touched the button operating the Lenox seat jacks, and one by one the passengers who should have alight- ed at that station slid from the car and fell into the water. Providence so willed it that a pleasure boat was in that vicinity at the time, and no lives were lost. The car was started again. only to come in contact with a work train at Ashiey Falls, demolishing the car and injuring several of the passengers. After discharging the boy and settling the damage suita, the road returned to |the old and expensive regime of train tives, and the fate of the two children was a sad one, indeed, for both were de- voted and longed to be again in their old home, which was now falling into ruins. Instead of being treated as a member of the family, Wanda was placed in the position of a servant. “You are so siow, Wanda,” snapped Minno when her cousin entered. ‘‘What in the world makes you look sq serious? Why don't you put on some style?” Wanda made no reply. What was the use? She had no home, no money, and was a helpless dependent. It never, en- tered Minno’s mind to do anything for her cousin's pleasure. Nothing except her own ease was ever thought of, s0 Wanda went patiently back to the kitch- en to work at peeling apples for sauce. ‘‘Wanda,’’ came the aunt's voice, “drop the apples and straighten up the gwarret at once.’’ Up the steps went Wanda, giad to be away out of the sight of prying eyes. The attic was dusty and full of strange- looking bundles, trunks and boxes, but somehow the girl liked to be up here alone. The sun was getting low. Across the field she could see the home in which Hal stayed, and not far off the wide fields which still belonged to her and her brother, but brought in no money. The child began to put things In order. There were silken hoods, old wrappers and curios of all kinds from various parts of the world. In the bottom of a broken box Wanda found a yellow nut resembling a walnut, only it was quaint- ly carved and had a strange odor. As she examined it she noticed that it could be opened, and in a moment she had unscrewed the top. Within was a bit of silk, and on it, written in blue ink, was the verse: Hold this nut within your hand, In the sunset glow then stand. Wishes three to you I'll give That you may always happy live. Wanda atared at the nut. The warm light flicked in through the dusty cur- tains. The strange emell of the shell grew stronger and stronger. It was sun- set now. Already its glow was turning the hills into crimson and painting the distant esky. crews, locomotives, ete.. and J. Great- head Thinkist ended his days in an in- sane asylum, having lost his reason by brooding over his failure to insist upon a atipend when his invention was adopt- ed, instead of agreeing to accept a aes of the saving’ in operating ex- penses. | (Copyright.

How happy she and Hal would be to live again in their own house. She would wish for that. So interested was she that she did not hear a step in the room or notice that Minno had returned, and was sneaking into the attic to spy on her cousin. Minno hid behind a heavy screen, from which she could see all that happened. Wanda stood in the rosy sunlight by the window. “IT wish that in my fields there would appear a handsome house, all furnished. with a cow and a horse in the stable and fhowers in the yard,"’ she said. That was as far as she got then, for to her astonished eyes there came a strange sight. Over in the field was a beautiful home, a large cottage, with porches all around it, flowers blooming in the yard and a nice stable, out of whose neat windows a horse and a cow poked their heads. “Oh, my! Isn't that splendid?’ ex- Claimed Wanda. “I was so excited that I forgot to finish my wish—but it does not matter, as I have two more. Now my second wish is that my brother Hal will come riding up to our new home on a black pony.” Sure enough, right down the winding road and up to the pretty gate around which clustered pink roses rode Hal on a beautiful, sleek pony, shining black as a coal. “You greedy girl!’ cried Minno, rush- ing out from behind the screen and grabbing the nut roughly: “you are taking all the wishes yourself—I mean to have the last one.” “Oh! you are welcome, Minno,” ex- claimed Wanda. “Indeed, I did not mean to be selfish. Only I am so un- happy and wanted a home.” Minno took her stand in the sun, f the light was getting low. : “I wish,” she began—and just then Fido, her poodie, came bouncing in and the nut almost fell from her han@—*‘T wish you were in China." she crie® in thoughtiess anger. Out of the window flew poor Fido, and the two girls could see him disappear— a speck in the distance. “Get out of this house!” shrieked Minno to Wanda. “You wicked giri to get me into this trouble’ You may be sure Wanda was very giad to go, and within helf an hour she was safe at her new home and happy watching Hal ride Ris pony around the yard. night in the back room of a cigar store raising the ante.
