RIO JANEIRO, May 22.—President ’ Braz has sent a message to Congress ' recommending the revocation of the ' decree of neutrality in the war be- | tween the United States and Ger- many. Congrss is expeced to accept the recommendation by a large ma- jority. The message declared that the or- der to the Brazilian authorities en- joining the observance of neutrality was intended to have effect only un- til Congress met. It continues: “Today, in consideration of the fact that the United States is an integral part of the American union, in con- sideration also of the traditional! pol- icy of Brazil, which has.always been governed by a complete unity of view of the United States, and, finally, in consideration of the sympathies of a great majority of the Brazilian na- tion, the administration invites Con- gréss to revoke the decree of neu- trality.” i 5 es THERE Py NSE em cea: "Wy ei CN eh asl 8 ee ee 4 rs ee .. mexico saipTo z AGAINTS U-BOATS Report Follows Long ence Between Minister and German Foreign.

The purpose of the mass meetings, as set out in the proclamation, is to help place a Liberty Bond in every Missouri home. ‘To lend ourselves to the task of bringing this about.’’ the Governor says, “is as patriotic as to shoulder a gun and move toward the trenches.”’ He suggests that at the mass meeting the slogan, “‘A Liberty Bond in Every Home,"’ be adopted, that such measures be taken as will forward the movement and that every letter written from now to June 15 have the slogan on it. In suggesting that the church services next Sunday morning be of a patriotic character, the Governor says: ‘‘The peo- ple of our State should thank God for the blessing of a free Government which they have enjoyed and pray-for His aid in their struggle to maintain it.’’ Advertising Campaign On. Many advertising plans are being adopted for pushing the sale of Liberty Bonds in St. Louis. In addition to newspaper advertising, 150,000 small fold- ers are being distributed in factories and homes. Display cards are being placed in the factories, urging the purchase of the bonds, giving details regarding the issue and particulars about the time- payment plan. Street cars wil) carry posters in the national colors advocating the buying of liberty bonds. Large banners 444x2 feet, wording on which can be read a block away, are being placed across the street in front of 19 banking institutions. At Broadwav and Olive street a set of banners will serve for several banks. Cards making a strong patriotic ap- peal to buy Liberty Loan bonds, stating that detailed particulars can be had at institutions exhibiting the card, are placed in banks. Every buyer of a Liberty Loan bond will receive a button schools urging the children to take the circular home and give it to their par- ents.

The accident is described in the state- ment as follows: “The guns were of the six-inch caliber, for which the shell and powder are loaded separately into the gun. The powder charge is contained in a brass case and there held in place by a paste- board wad, distance pieces and a brass mount cup that fits closely, thus mak. ing a moisture-tight joint in order that the powder may also give the velocity and pressure intended. When the gtin is fired this brass cup is propelled some distance, sometimes whole and some- times in pieces, but always in front of the gun. ‘Several nurses who were watching the firing were sitting on the promenade deck some 175 feet abaft and 10 feet above the gun. On the third shot the brass mount cup struck the water pe. broke. Its pleces instantly killed Mrs. Ayres and Miss Wood. The firing was stopped it once and the vessel returned to port to land the bodies. “This method of sealing the cartridge sad one could occur had not been even considered by ordnance experts. “An investigation has been ordere:i and its findings will enable the depart- ment to fully ascertain the cause aru) provide the remedies to prevent a pos- sible recurrence of the acciden:."’ 150.DANISH SHIPS LOST IN WAR Destruction Accompanied by Death of 210 Seamen.

Doubted. STOCKHOLM, May 22.—Even those persons in Sweden who heretofore have regarded the submarine campaign with indifference or even apologetic eyes are beginning to see the consequences which have been brought sharply home to Swe- den, and to realize the true nature of Germany's policy. Comments of the press of the whole kingdom, with un- fmportant exceptions, are couched in a similar vein to comments already quot- ed from the Stockholm papers, and in- dignation is not lessened by the Ger. man Minister's expression of regret to the Foreign Office or by the apparent- ly semi-official explanation published in the Aftonbladet, which terms torpe- doing of the Swedish vessels ‘“‘purety accidental.’’ This view of the case is emphatically repudiated by the director of the Trans- Atiantic Co. of Gothenburg, ewners of the Viken and Aspen. The director de- Clares that Germany learned all the da- tails concerning the Swedish ships in English ports, where they were lying, thelr tonnage, cargoes and dimensions, in the course of negotiations whicn were conducted with the German Gov- ernment in April and resulted in Ger- many granting safe conduct if the ships Jeft England by the first of May.

ALLIES’ GREAT WEAKNESS IS LACK OF CENTRALIZED. CONTROL, SAYS CHURCHILL! Former First Lord of Admiralty Declares United War Direction Is Responsible for Effici- ency of German Endeavors. a. “All the resources of these states, themselves combined in each case in the hands of one or two men, are now gripped effectively by ‘main ‘fread- quarters,’ and ‘main headquarters’ has gradually focused itself into Hin- denburg and the Kaiser. “The allies have made much slower progress toward unity of war direction, and in this respect even now stand at an incomparably lower level than their opponents. * * * The mere gather- ing together at occasional conferences of military and political delegations from all the allied states will never pro- vide an instrument of war direction comparable with that which is being used against them by their enemies Trust in one another, faith in their Cause, loyal and unselfish effort, op- erating by telegraph, can at the best produce only imperfect results. In peacs wisdom may be found in a multitude of counselors; in war the reverse is true. Allies Lack Initiative. “If the allies could get the leading men of each of the four great allied Powers, whether sovereign, general or Statesman, to sit in constant conclave at some central point, and each sup- ported by the unswerving obedience of his nation, that fact itself would be worth more than a million soldiers a year to the allied cause, and it would probably conduce to a speedy victory. The enemy has had this, or something very like it, for many months; we are still far from it. But we are making progress toward it and we shal] some day attain it unless the war comes sooner to an end.’”’ Churchill declares that if any one of the allies could discover and develop a successful form of initiative, a united war direction might be more speedily brought about. He points out the dif- ference between the initiative and the offensive, the latter by no means im- plying the former. The Germans have nad continuous possession of the strat- exic initiative in the west, he says, as the British navy has had the initiative on the water. Success in the Dardanelles campaign would have developed an initiative which might have brought victory, Churchill says. The Champagne-Loos offensive of 1915, he holds, had no chance of succeed- ing, and might better have been post- poned until another season The Modern Battlefield. He reviews the Somme battle at length, saying it eaved Verdun, but did not pierce the German line, and that Ger- man operations in other war theaters were not greatly hampered. He then gives these picturing paragraphs. “Let us examine the anatomy of these vast modern battles as exemplified by Verdun and Somme. You select a bat- tiefield. Around this battlefield you build a wall, double, triple, quadruple, of enormous cannon. Behind these you construct railways to feed them and pile up mountains of shelis. All this is the work of months. Before long the ene- my learns what you are doing, and he in his turn makes hie gigantic concen- tration of artillery Thua the battle- field is completely encircled by thou- fands of gune of all sizes. and a wide Oval space is prepared. “Through this awful arena all the divisions of each army are made to pass in succession, as if they were the teetn of interlocking cogwheeils grinding one another, and battered ceaselessly by the enveloping artillery. In the end, nearly every division in the west, British, French and German, is ‘put through the HE urgent need of the allies for a centralized control of their war move- ments is the principal theme of a notabie articie, ** iteflections in the Strategy of the Allies,’?’ by Winston Spencer Churchill, First Lord of the British Admiralty, in-the May Century. Churchill points out the great advantage which Germany has gained from its centralized control, which was operative on Austria from the begin- ning of the war, and now includes Bulgaria and Turkey. formerly He says: mill,” and is in the process cut down by half or more of its fighting men. Some are put through two or three times as the cogwheels revolve. Every object in the arena is pulverized. The surface of the earth is changed. The |. very soll is blown away. Somme Offensive a Success. “For month after month the cease- less cannonade continues at its utmost intensity, and month after month the gallant divisions of heroic human be- ings are cut to pieces in this terrible ro- tation. Then comes the winter, pouring down rain from the sky to clog the feet of the men, and drawing veils of mist before the hawk eyes of their artillery. The arena, as used to happen in the Coliseum in those miniature Roman days, is flooded with water. A vast sea of ensanguined mud, churned by thou- sands of vehicles, by hundreds of thou- sands of men and millions of shells, re- places the blasted dust. Still the strug- gle continues. Still the remorseless wheels revolve. Still the artillery roars. At last the legs of men can no longer move; they wallow and flounder help- lessly in the slime. Their food and their ammunition lag behind them along the smashed and choked roadways. The of- fensive is suspended until spring.’’ He considers the Somme offensive the most important, in its results, of the al- lied undertakings in the west. The morale of the Germans has been affect- ed, he believes, by the consciousness of the superiority of their enemies in num- bers and munitions. He mentions, in this connection the ready surrender of large numbers of Germans as prison- ers in recent engagements. The futile attack on Verdun is cited as an instance of German unwisdom and as a great help to the allied causa, Machinery Will Determine Result. The incident of Rumania’s entrance into the war is discussed by Churchill as ‘‘one of the tragic surprises of his- tory.”’ Russia's help was ro: what had been counted on; the central Powers showed unexpected strength; anJ] Ru- mania’s own plan of campaign was rad- ically faulty. Greece, he coutinues, could at four different times hav.» been prosperously and honorably brought into the war on the side of the allies. The failure to take advantage of thease op- portunities is attributed to “‘the diffi- culties of truly concerted aciion among great and separate allies, an] the lack of any primacy of leadership or cont’ol. “It Is surely to method and machin- ery, he says, “rather than to nuinbers and heroism, that the allies must look in the long succession of red inontas that are before us.” FIFTH REGIMENT FILLED BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE A COOK mee ee Among 989 Enlisted None Can Qualify for Piaces and Appeal le Issued for Culisary Experts.

Foreign Minister Tereschtenko discussed the matter with the allied Ambassadors Saturday. The correspondent says that Russia, in her negotations, will try to define precisely its desire for peace without annexations or contributions, and will make clear that Russian workers, while not desiring a separate peace, cannot support the allies in their present war program.. A revision of treaties between the allies and Russia will be requested and it is believed the allies will call a conference to consider the whole ques- tion of Russia’s future in the war. TRADE BOARD ADVISES FEDERAL REGULATION OF COAL PRICES Report to Congress Charges Fro- ducers and Brokers With Exacting Exorbitant Prifits, WASHINGTON, May °2,-—Govern- ment regulation of the coal industfy, including fixing of prices, was pro- posed by the Federal Trade Commis- sion yesterday in a report to Congress charging producers and brokérs with exacting exorbitant profits and blam- ing coal shortage at consumption points on inadequate transportation facilities. “The price. of bituminious coal, which is a necessity, should be fixed,” said the report, “according to the same general prindiple which Sas been established in the conduct of public utilities.

' ; | ; ; t ’ ; That prices for news print paper are |made by the manufacturers a month in | advance of delivery was brought out to- | day at the first hearing in the investiga- tion instituted by Attorney-General Mc- | Allister of Missouri. Testimony is being | heard at the Planters Hotel, before for- mer Supreme Judge Charles G. Revelle, las special commissioner. The object of the inquiry is to deter- mine whether the business methods pur- ‘sued by the manufatturers of print pa- “per or jobbers who sell the product is ‘such as to justify ouster proceedinga on ‘the part of the State under the anti- acti laws. | 8 L. Willson, vice president of the | Graham Paper Co. of St. Louis, was the first witness. He testified’ that his com- pany, a Missouri corporation, with a capitalization of $1,000,000, deals in all kinds of paper, but manufactures none, and is not interested in any mill, except one which makes board paper. This paper is not used in the printing trade. Willson said.that, so far as he knew, no officer or director of the company had an interest in any print paper mill. In 1916, he said, his company could not maxe any contracts for paper and was {little depression.”’ forced to deal in the open market. An arrangement was made with a number of mills for the delivery of a certain ton- nage, but no arrangements as to price could be mada. The Graham Poper cocC., he said, had contracts to furnish paper to 2% or 30 publishers. These ranged from 50 to 3000 tons a year. The paper was shipped direct from the mills to the publishers, the present prevailing price being 1.9 to 2 cents a pound. The price of paper, Willson testified, was fixed by the demand in the open market. At present, he said, there is ‘a He asserted that no such condition prevails as in the grain and stock markets and that speculation does not control print paper prices. More than a year ago, he testified, there was talk of higher prices for print paper, and at that time many publishers “ran to cover." The mills, he said, would not permit them to order more than the amounts stipulated in their contracts for monthly delivery. When publishing re- quirements exceeded the tonnage pro- vided for in the contracts, the publishers bought paper in the open market. The prices thus paid, he said, established the price which the mills charged the job- bers. The rise, he said, began in Feb- ruary, 1916, and the price then was 2.60 cents a pound. Wilson testified that on Jan. 1, 1916, the Graham Paper Co. had on hand its normal supply of print pa- per, amounting to 150 to 250 tons. This is about a six-months supply, and a little more than half is kept in St. Louis warehouses, he said. No price was fixed for purchases in 1916, he declared, but shortly before the first day of each month the mills would notify the company what price they would charge for deliveries for that month, Attempt to Show Monoply. The Attorney-General questioned Wil- eon about a visit to the Graham Paper Co. by H. S. Mead, an officer of a paper manufacturing company, at the time the Missouri Press Association was in session in St. Louis. Mead had agreea, to furnish the association with 100 tons of paper and suggested that the Gra- ham company handle it. The questioning was in an effort to draw the admissions that the Graham Paper Co. had a monopoly on certain business within the State, but no re- sponses justifying that conclusion were obtained. Willson, responding to questions, said that he had tried to buy paper from mills which were among those which several months ago requested the Fed. eral Trade Commission to fix a reason- able price for news print, but that he had been unable to get a price as low as that fixed by the commission, which was 2.5 cents per pound for paper in rolls. 6 Willson admitted that the Graham Pa- per Co. had sold in tonnage about the same amount of paper in 1916 that it had sold in 1915 and that it had been able to meet the demands upon it for paper. He said that no regular customers had sufered and thatthe company was pre- pared to fill orders from publishers who rad not been regular customers. From this the Attorney-General asked argumentative questions seeking to show that there had been no actual paper shortage. Willson said that the amount manufactured had been greater than in previous years, but said that he did not know whether the manufactured supply had been stored at the mills and prevent- ed from getting onto the market.

WASHINGTON, May 22.—The British navy paid tribute today to the memory of Admiral Dewey when a floral wreath was placed on his tomb by Rear Ad- miral de Chair and Commander Law- ford, the Admiralty representatives with the British mission. The wreath was placed under instructions from London, both to commemorate the friendship between the two great fight- ing forces and to express the British navy’s gratitude at the arrival of Amer- ican destroyers in British waters. The wreath, laid in the presence of Admiral Benson and other American officers, bears the following inscription: “A tribute to the undying memorf of George Dewey, Admiral of the United States Navy, with respectful homage and esteem of the British Navy.” Admiral Dewey probably was closer to the British navy than any other American naval officer because of the historic incident in Manila Bay when a German sqaudron behaved in a hos- tile manner and the British naval com- mander there gave unmistakable signs that he would support Admiral Dewey if necessary.

Hope, however, is-based in some ‘quarters on the attitude of the Mar- quis of Lansdowne and on the speech of Sir Edward Carson, which is re- garded as a better augury than that ‘of Sir John Lonsdale, secretary and “whip of the Irish Unionist party. “fatisfaction is expressed by several -of the editorial writers that the set- ‘thement of the Irish question has been removed from Great Britain's hands and that Ireland has been given the opportunity to work out its own des- tiny.. | Lonsdale said the Ulster party would submit the convention propo- sal to the people of Ulster and recom- mend its careful consideration; he and his colleagues would not take the responsibility for closing the doors upon the experiment. Nationalists Welcome Convention. The proposed convention is warmly welcomed by almost all sections of the Nationalists in Ireland. The Constitu- tional Nationalists, who are now op- posed to John Redmond’s party, and who have marked their temporary dis- tisfaction by voting for Sinn Fein can- fates, are in favor of it. -Count Plunkett and other extremists fepudiate the proposal as a trap, but there is reason to believe that Sinn Fein leaders now in jail disapprove of their conduct regarding the movement, so that they do not represent the .real body of extremists. The Unionists express delight at the convention. They are strongly opposed to the partition of Ireland, which would isolate them, und are anxious for an op- portunity to make claims for special ‘treatment, which so far have not ‘been It ® definitely formulated. Bay ister have : “ee itt Lt bee A oy re ’ ’ verning bodies, The Orange newspapers of Northeast “een extremely hostile to _the idea of any convention to shape a _tonstitution for. Ireland, but Nattonal- ists contend that if Northeast Ulster re- jects the convention the Government can hardly allow it to hold up all settle- ment. Some settlement is imperative from the fact that the home rule act Is on the statute book and must come into operation before the end of the war, ag /Was provided in suspending the statute ‘Act. Although it may be altered, it tould not be repealed by any Govern- “ment. If Ulster were to enter the convention, Which is considered in well-informed cir- les as being doubtful, it is probable that terms could be arranged to meet its fears and thus render a continuance of frreconcilable opposition untenable. Continued Deediock Predicted. Sir John Lonsdale in his address in the House of Commons predicted the tame old deadlock, declaring thut Ulster ‘Would not be driven into a home rule Parliament, and predicting that the Na- Vonalista would not consent to the ex- lusion of six Ulster counties. Both houses of Parliament discussed Treland yesterday, with hardly a ripple Of the old animosities and feuds. “The patient must administer to him- if,” said Lioyd George, and a note- Worthy feature of the discussion was an ‘*8reement that politicians must play a ‘Secondary part to the men from other Walks of life. The Premier specified ithe Nationalist factions, of which John Redmond and William O'Brien are the Teaders; the Ulster Unionists, the south- tro Unionists, and the Sinn Feiners as Political bodies which should be rep- Merented in the convention, but said that tthe Government considered it most im- Portant that representatives of local the churches, trades “Pions and commercial and educational Merests should participate. mond agreed to this and even of- ‘Hered to obliterate himself in the inter- “te of harmony. The House, however, ‘Wfused loudly to- acc ept his offer. Even Lord Lansdowne, who has been iged by some with the wreckage of ™~ George's previous work of recon- mMation, told the lords that the road hes home rule had been traveled too far ot turning back, and referred to the portance of facilitating the task of who are our friends in America.” “Tne conception of the convention for Ireland finds tts inspiration in the “Ng of the union of South Africa er the Boer War, when the British the Afrikanders, whose enmity (hen nly equaled that of the Irish fac- ‘ but ous were able to thresh out age F¥r the eon of chairman of the tion, a colonial might wieid influence for harmony, and Baron Messy, president of the Canadian © Railroad Co., who was born in Mited States of Irish parents, is 7 A> whe mentioned, as also a re-ex-Premier quith and Lord Donough Moore, quiring large parllamentary experience and much diplomacy. It is expected that the selections for the membership of the convention wil! be made within a week. The sessions will be behind closed doors, for which the Premier cited as precedents the framing of the Constitu- tions of the United States, Canada und the Union of South Africa. Carson Supports Premier. Sir Edward Carson explained that az a member of the Government he natu- rally was a party to the Premiers’ pro- posals, and he considered that by allow- ing six counties to remain out, while creating a general council and bringing all Irishmen together, they would be making the best advance toward the ul- timate reunion of all Ireland. That pro posal had been rejected, but not by Ulster men, who he said had been wrongly accused of rejecting all ad- vances. The Ulster leader declared that it was advisable that the convention should be approached with no misappre- hension. As to the Suggestion that cx- clusion of the six counties should be ruled out of consideration by the con- vention he said: “T understand that that is not the case, but that every. possible solution which may be put torward should oe considered by the convention.”’ He understood, and it was his wish, that they should enter the convention perfectly free, without stipulated condi- tions; otherwise he would not be a party to it. If everyone entered the conven- tion with freedom and an honest desire to do his best for the country and the empire, it migat be successful, while on any other terms it would certainly fal.

ST.LOUIS POST-UDISPAICH VISIT TO PRISON SHIP SUCCESS’ OF A DOUBLE VALUE Will Show Reform in Prison System and Assist Pure Milk and Ice Fund. Opportunitv to obtain liberal educa- tion on the reform in prison system from barbaric to humane, along with aid to a cause that is even stronger in its appeal to the highest sentiment, is found In the opening of the British convict ship “Suc- cess” to the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund next Saturday.

WASHINGTON, May 22.—Senator Reed made a particularly violent attacl on the appointment of a food dictator for the United States in debate on th2 food control bill in the Senate yester- day. Reed asserted that in the desire to regulate conditions the Senate mighs do more harm than good. He warned also that “‘The most dangerous thing ever attempted is to have uninformed men to undertake to interfere with the business of well informed men.’’ He charged that probably the state- ment sent out by the Gecretary of Ag- riculture bemoanifg the ‘‘shortagt of the wheat crop,’’ the solemn assertion by Herbert C. Hoover that “we must have somebody to control the situation or we are going to starve’ and “the ery of alarmists, shouting, ‘Woe, woe, woe.’’’ is as much responsible for the high price of foodstuffs as any othcr one thing. Against “Interference.” | Reed asserted the regulation of the food and other industries proposed in the bill would do more to destroy these industries than {it would to help them. “Instead of interfering because they interfered in Europe,” he _ declared, ‘where the enemy are thundering at their gates, we ought to stand here and encourage the business of the United States. There is no necessity for shack- ling business. “T grant yvou,’’ he continued, ‘“‘that if we could have a man as food dictator who was wise enough to look with in- finite sweep of vision into the homes and hearts and lives of people and ap- preciate their wants and guard with the wisdom of the infinite God all of the energies of this carth, then there would be some use in having a food dic- tator. “But there is not a farmer scarcely of ordinary intelligence between the At- lantic and the Pacific, the Canadian line and the Rio Grande, who is living on a farm that he has worked for ua year or two who does not know better how to run that farm and get results than the Secretary of Agriculture does. He knows more about it than any expert that is down here in the Agricultural Department. Management of Far No man at the Agricultural Depart- ment is capable of managing this busi- ness for the American farmer or the American business man. I have the ut- most respect for the Secretary of Agri- culture. In his own line and in his own business as the teacher in an agri- cultural college I think he is a very fine man, but to talk about taking the business of farmers from their hands and put it into the hands of a man who never saw their farms and who does not know their business is an infinite absurdity. “When you propose to take the busi- ness of many and put it in the hands of a few you are proposing a thing mon- Strous, horrible and destructive.’’ Reed concluded by declaring that ‘‘the man who goes about the United States preaching that we are on the “verge of starvation is a false prophet.’’ ANTI-KAMNIA (A-K) TABLETS...

Perhaps the most steadying influ- be worth something as indicating Amer- ence of all was lent by the attitude of Secretary of War Newton Baker, who has requested several schools to en- deavor to go ahead with their regular schedules, on the theory that it would be for the best interest of the coOun- try.

This percentage will surely in- clude enough material to make uP several teams, whether it be football, track or other sport. It seems for the best interest of the students and the country both that these players go through with the us- val athletic activities, developing the men physically in case of need. . - * Not All Were Stampeded. HE Western Golf Association, the Amateur Athletic Union, the Missouri Valley Conference and the Big Nine (as a body) have played safe on the cancellation proposition. Tt is now likely that all will go through with their fall schedules, al- though many exhibitions will be in the form of benefits for Red Cross, the athletes er | content to win bronze medals an titles instead of - valuable prizes. = - British Preserve Golf Links. — in England, cramped agricul- turally by want of acreage, they must be amused at Americans whose zeal to help in the war has carried them to thoughts of plowing up their golf links to raise produce. The vast untilled acres available tn America on all sides would, to Britons, doubtless make laughable the thought of ripping up courses, costly to con- struct, for the purpose of raising cab- bages and peas that could be produced in so many other localities. The country has more unused acres than men tv till them. As badly off as England appears to be for food, at this time, no cultiva- tion of golf courses has as yet been undertaken, although the war is now almost three years old. + a Here Is England’s View. O F this subject Henry Leach, a Brit- ish golfing writer, says in a letter to an American friend: These stories of golf links under the plow are merely stup?t@ and sensational reports, and they are just a form of our funny war ways. Tnere ts a demand for many more golf balls than it f@ possible to make. Thie arises from the fact that the Government now controls certain of the golf ball manufacturing plants, where there are being turned out things that fly further and. faster and do much more damage than a golf ball. In the case of the old ball manufactories which were left to continue their work, labor is very scarce. Hence the shortage. On the other hand, there is much more play on the courses at the present time than there was during 1915, when every- body ewore off everything regardless of health and all other considerations. One of the most distinguished Generals of the British army was home recently and vie- ited hie favorite Moke on the outskirts of London While there he expressed himeelf many times as pleased that golf was being so weil maintained during the war, as he was satisfied that there was nothing se good as golf for the people whe had te work so hard in thede times and upon whom such « strain wae laid. Surely Engiend'’s experience ought to | ica’s procedure, under war pressure. * Let the Freshmen Play. W ITH Secretary of War Baker hoping for “an athletic revival among colleges’ and “counting on just such a move” as the Post-Dis- patch outlined Sunday, for sharing the receipts of foothall and other col- legiate and academic activities, many directors of sports are pegianing to think about the form their athletics will take, next fall. They will probably find sadly de- pleted ranks among the athletes, du to enlistments, as a large majority oO college recruits to the various arms of the service consisted of football stars, Oarsmen and runners. There is one easy way to heip off- set these losses—that is by suspend- ing the freshman and the one-year rules. As matters were last year in the larg- er institutions, neither first-year men nor students entering from other colleges were permitted to take part in athletics, unless a One-year resi- dence had been established. Present conditions warrant the suspension of this more or less ef- fective. method of preventing “re- cruiting” of athletic talent in nor- mal times. Under war conditions there is lit- tle to fear that athletics will be (tainted with cash purchases of track, field or feetball talent. The freshman class in all schools is its largest, numerically, and ac- ceptable teams could be filled out from the upcoming students who are for the most part under military years by a considerable margin. * 7 . The College Athlete’s ‘‘Bit.”’ OLLEGIANS under age don't have to go to the front to do their little part for Uncle Sam. The ath- lete, by keeping up his games, and the undergraduate, by assisting them with his presence and ticket pur- chases, can throw hundreds of thou- sands of dollars into the war relief and Red Cross funds. If dollars can help win this war, college students and athletes can throw a considerable ponderance of iron mén into the scale. The report of the Princeton Ath- letic. Association—by no means the leading money earning institution in athletic fields—shows that it received $665,000 from footba'l alone. One ame brought in $45,000. The Ath- etic Association's report of the prof- its for last year showed $18,000 had been cleared, notwithstanding that a number of dead sports like rowing, were carried. By schools like Harvard and Yale, Princeton's nigeres were considerably surpassed. he receipts from the Harvard- Yale netted about $125,000! If the high schools and univer- sities of the country would retrench, dropping the costly sports or hand- ling them in an inexpensive manner, while conducting football and the profitable pastimes with a view to giving Uncle Sam all over expenses, upkeep and interest on debts, ae rev- enue of between $1,500,000 and §832.- 000,000 would be available for the war fund.

The fire started in a warehouse on Decatur and Fort streets and drove first ‘due north and then northeast at some ' mile in width. points a block wide and at times half a It crossed Ponce de Leon avenue at one point. On ‘the south side of Ponce de Leon avenue, a wide residence street, the burned area extended from North Jack- : on street seven blocks east of Peachtree Street, the principal business section, ou: almost to the baseball park. It was the greatest fire in Atlanta’s history since Civil War days, when Gen Sherman, terming it the backbone. of the Confederacy, decreed that it musi be burned. In property loss and hard- ships it was even greater, for the city that Gen. Sherman destroyed had oniy 10,000 inhabitants. Destitute Are Cared For. Destitute persons from the burned area, which included negro homes and costly residences of white people, were cared for by the local Red Cross anid the Associated Charities. Hundreds were fed last nignt and are being (ed today, and lodging was provided in «he Auditorium Armory, the Negro Odd l*e}- lows’ Hall, churches, private homes and hotels. Preparations have been completed to- day to feed 5000 people. Relief work got under way early, several thousand Joi- lars béing subscribed in a few. hours. A meeting of the city’s representative men was Called to provide relief for those needing it. Mayor Candler and Fresi- dent Ivan E. Allen of the local Chamber of Commerce agree that no outsid> aid will be needed. Both expressed their appreciation of scores of telegraph offers. Woman Dies From Shock. Only one person is known to have died as a result of the fire. Mrs. Bessie Hodges died of shock after her home was destroyed. Injuries were remarkably few. The people fled before the flames as from an invading army. Heat drove out hundreds of people who sought to save their personal effects. Here and there fire brands blew ahead of the blaze, firing houses a block ahead of the wall of fire. Gradually the flames advanced north- ward. Before them went hundreds of persons. The flames grew to.a roar when within a distance of a block Or more, Men who had comforted their fam- ilies with statements that the fire would not reach them realized at the last moment that their homes were doomed. Automobile trucks, express wagons and all conceivable vehicles were pressed into service. Gathering what belongings they could, the peo- ple fled. After the fire reached within a block or two of Ponce de Leon avenue, an hour before dark, order began to come out of confusion. Companies of the Fifth Regiment Georgia National Guard and prospective United States army of'i- cers from the training camp at Fort Me- Pherson took charge, under personal di mander at Fort McPherson. People Flee Before Flames. As the soldiers took charge, abandun- ing of homes in the threatened districts was carried out. Automobiles by hun- dreds carried people and their most val- vable belongings to other parts of the city. The soldiers on guard duty re- mained al! night Furniture, bed clothes and all the odds and ends from the many homes littered the streets, which were made impassable in many cases by fallen wires and splinters from dyna. mited houses. The soldiers allowed nothing to be moved during the night and biocked cl- villians from the fire zone and a wide area around it. Only. one case of at- tempted looting was reported and that resulted in an arrest. Besides actua! relief work today there is a tremendous task’ ahead of Atlanta in getting its scattered citizens togeth er. Members of many families are sep- arated. A man advertised for his 20- year-old grandmother. Another ,sought his wife and baby through the want ad section of the morning papers. There are scores of similar cases and it is ex pected that:-a clearing house to carrv out this work will have to be estab- lished. Beundary of Burned Area. The burned area is roughly defined as including all that territory be- tween Fort street on the west, and the boulevard on the east, between Decatur street and Ponce de Leon avenue. It its much narrower near Decatur street and from Highland avenue out to Ponce de Leon avenue. the burned district is five blocks wide, Fort street being the western boundery and: part of the biock to the East Boulevard being destroyed. rection of Col.

In his violent attack on the food control bill and the appointment of a food controller, Senator Reed exclaimed: “There is no necessity for shack- ling business.” There is no proposal to shackle any business ex- cept the business of robbing the people by corner- ing the necessaries of life and manipulating food prices. No legitimate business will suffer.

Senator Reed sneered at the attempt to have uniformed men undertake to interfere with well The phrase marks the Senator's insincerity and his effort to make political capital out of a serious situation and a sincere attempt to handle it to public advantage. No intelligent man can read the President's ex- planation of the purpose and method of the plan of food control without understanding that the object is to avoid bureaucracy and its arbitrary methods and to obtain the co-operation of well- informed and well-intentioned business men with an organization of experts for the wise conserva- tion and distribution of food. The Senator indulges in a bombastic flight of oratory praising the American farmer as a man who knows more than all of the experts put to- informed men. -Post-Dispatch Average circulation entire year 1916 Sunday, 356,193 Daily, 204,201 sg" The POST-DISPATCH sells more papers in St. Louis and Sub- urbs every day in the year than there are homes in the city. =I) gether and denouncing those who would attempt to interfere with and regulate his business of pro- This outburst of political guff is worthy of a one-gallus statesman from the head- waters of Bitter Creek. .

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Should a prospective recruit expect courtesy from a recruiting officer? A short time ago the writer sought information about the Officers’ Re- serve Corps. Not knowing exactly where to go for that information, he walked to an army Trée- cruiting station. There were about 25 or 30 young men assembled in the hall waiting to be taken care of by the recruiting officer. One of the re- cruiting force not in full uniform asked the pros- pective recruits if there were any who had not been examined. He then addressed the same question to a fine looking fellow standing right ™m front of him. The young man could not readily understand English and muttered something. In feply he was shouted at in a way that was en- tirely uncalled for. When again the young fellow was asked if he had been examined and a second Bime the recruiting officer could not understand “tram, the recruiting officer gave him a shove that nearly knocked him from his feet and landed him about four feet in back of where he had been standing. The recruiting officer then turned around as if to go back into the room he had come from, and the writer, fearing that he would have no other opportunity asked the recruiting officer where he could secure information regarding the Of- ficers’ Reserve Corps. The reply took the form of a shove which in appearance was just as dis- courteous as the one the prospective recruit re- celved, but this time it was accompanied by the reply, “Aw, get out of here, I haven't got time to fool with you.” The writer's first thought after that kind of treatment was that Uncle Sam's army could go to thunder. But it was only a mental flash, for down deep the writer does not feel that way— never has and never shall. But what about these hundreds of young men who are probably receiv- ing the same kind of treatment when they stand before this recruiting officer or examiner, or whatever he was, which is as much as to say and signify that “I now stand ready to give my life for Uncle Sam.” Those young men, some of them from our city, some of them from the farm, are evidently being made to feel antagonistic against the service even before they get into it. Can anyone doubt but what some have written,.to friends telling them of this kind of treatment —triends who had intended to enlist? And if so, will the telling of those ex- perience make those men more willing to en- list? Surely, even though military operations demand discipline, common courtesy should be expected and practiced by Uncle Sam's ‘representativ es. This certain man whom the writer has in mind may be the only one of his kind in our country, Lut the harm that he is doing to offset the re- cruiting efforts of those who are working for Un- cle Sam heart and soul to bring the military forces to the necessary strength for this great conflict should be curtailed. ~, ©. 2. Food Must Bs Regulated. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Tan't it about time our Uncle Sam !g doing some- thing for us? This skin-game has gone- far enough. We and our children need food and we are going to get it. RUM-DUM. How to Get an Army Manual. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Possibly the following information may be of some service to L. W. Snyder, whose letter telling of the difficulty in obtaining an army manual was published recently. The Superintendent of Docu- ments, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C., will mat! for 456 cents a copy of document No. 476, which is @ manua! for noncommissioned officers and privates of infantry of the United States army. E. 8, T. e Wine and Beer Sold in Ruasia. Te the Editer of the Post-Dispatch. T wish to correct a prohibition article «which appeared in your paper on May 16. Vodke is the only Mquor prohibited in Russia, wines and beer etill being obtainable. Vodka is very much stronger in alcohol than whisky and very cheap, so the evils of ite use can readily be seen. Why won't these prohibitionists confine themselves to the truth? They even manage to “pyll the wool” over the eyes of our good old Post-Dispatch and get their articles printed. MRS. I. M. Democracy. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. With wheat selling around $3 a bushel, farmers are advertising for harvest hands at nothing less than $2 a day. When wheat was selling for $1 harvest hands were getting $3 a day. Organised labor is being emasculated all over the world and yet we are told ware produce democracy.

To hold dramshops under a special surveillance is a part of the Sheriff's duty. Mr. Bopp may be sure that proper vigtlance supplemented by raids at timely hours will put the keepers of the more notorious county resorts in a position where they will be too busy keeping out of jail to think about civil suite. Disappointment over the present county offi- and, after diligent effort on their part, such rea- sonable guarantees should be refused, the Irish question would appear in a new light. On the other hand, if Ulster should refuse to participate |: or, participating, should oppose with pettish ob- stinacy every effort toward reasonable compro- mise, ite forfeiture of al! claims of the far-fetched consideration it has been shown in the past — whe utters the bunk. SIDNEY AVERILL. Vigua, Mo, tion on a pledge of efficiency, has led to a re- number of dramshop keepers, prepared to obey the law, but exasperated over the injustice to 'them worked by immunity for blind tigers, lid clubs and gambling dens operating at all hours, have joined themselves with clergy, political lead- ers and many mothers for the betterment of con- ditions. Paltering officers have more to fear from this movement than from a suit on their bonds. which, at best, is only a cheap excuse. The exist- ence of some county dens can be explained only by complaisant official tolerance. DOMINATION OF THE AIR. It is gratifying to note that among other prep- arations for war the Government is organizing the manufacture of airplanes and the training of aviators. We are pleased with the news of the prompt beginning of this important work, but woefully disappointed in the aircraft proposed as the first year’s product. Plans for 3500 aircraft and 5000 aviators seem greatly below the number which will be needed or might be used to tremendous advantage. The development of aircraft not only as nec- 2ssary means of observation, but as efficient war machines, has been as significant as that of sub- marines. As the newer invention it has been more sensational. Germany, on account of her peculiay position as the only maritime nation without ships on the ocean, has a monopoly of submarines. Is there any reason why, with our great resources com- bined with those of Great Britain, France, Italy and Russia, we should not gain a practical mo- nopoly of aircraft and complete domination of the air? Aircraft are now the eyes of the armies. De- cided superiority in the air would enable us to put out the eyes of enemy armies and multiply our own and the advantage of the result would be inestimable. Perfected aircraft, however, with the effective cuns and bombs now used by them, might be made tremendously efficient war machines. Fortifications and trenches do not stop aircraft. They can be stopped only by superior aircraft. might be used with vast effect in destroying Fleets of airplanes might 1 be used with greater Aviators trained and equipped in regiments in- - -¢0@--—— ————.

We have been married more then a year and John grows more-considerate every day. Last hight John did the most wonderful thing. The poor boy had some work to dc down in the office.

I am so sorry I woke you LD.” “es didn’t you come home when sou finished?” “Dearie,”’ said the déar boy, ‘I know vou are a light sleeper and I was afraid 1 would wake you up. So I went toa hote!l.”’ I’ kissed him. “You should have stayed there and had breakfast downtown,” I exclaltined. “You tired child!” “What! cried John, “and begin the day without seeing you and kissing you good-by. I would rather lose a year's sieep than miss having breakfast with vou. I think I'll sleep here for an hour.”’ The poor boy looked so tired John never was able to sleep in a strange bed and most of those hotel beds are so un- comfortable. an’t he the most considerate hus- MAY 18—Some women are the most spiteful.and hateful things. I told Mrs. Smith yesterday about how John had acted. She laughed and said: “That's a new one. Bill hasn't sprung that one on me yet.”’ “What do you megan?” I asked in- @ignantly. “Are you insinuating that John didn't tell me the truth?’ “Did John say anything about cards?" asked Mrs. Smith. “He did,’’ I answered with a smile. At breakfast the day before John had told me al] about a new card-index that he wae putting into the office. That was one of the reasons that he had stayed downtown that night—to get it into working order. Mrs. Smith laughed and walked away. Her husband is in the same business as John and naturally she’s jealous of ev- erything progressive that John does. Maybe her husband tells her lies. I know mine doesn’t. MAY 14.~—I am not going to buy that dress that I saw at The Peerless. It Was priced at $78 and it is a bargain. John showed me today that it would be wrong to buy that dress now when the Government needed all the cloth it could aet for blankets and uniforms and such things.

It pleases John. That is enough for me. I felt ashamed when John told me how many things the Government would need. He studies those things so deeply. I think that he could be a great help to President Wilson in buying things for the army. He has such a fine taste. I think I will suggest on Saturday that John cut down my allowance $5 a week. He shouldn't be the only one in the fam- lly to have the country’s welfare at heart. MAY 17.—That hateful Mrs. Smith is doing her best to make me distrust John. I have to laugh when I think of what she tells me. Of course, she doesn’t know John as well as I do, so natural- ly she thinks he is like all men. Imag- ine, the dear boy like other men. “I see your husband has hired a new blonde stenographer,’’ Mrs. Smith told me at the Palmer whist this afternoon. The simpering thing. ‘John had forgotten to tell me about that. He has been so busy lately, but I did not let on. T' asked the dear boy about it iast night. “Oh, yes,” said John. “I hired her vesterday.’"’ “Ie she a blonde?” I asked. He said yes. “Don't you like brunettes any more?’ T asked playfully. I am quite dark. John laughed. “Do you know why I hired her?” he asked. “A lot of girls applied for the job, but I took the blonde girl because she constantly reminds me how beaut!- ful brunettes are, and that recalis tv me, dearest, that you are the most MUTT AND JEFF (IN I TELL You WE DON'T NEED A BIGNANN!?
