SCHEDULE ON | v AUTO LICENSE TAY “SUBSTITUTED FOR LEVY AT FACTORY Senate Committee Decides Shift Charge From Manufac- turer’ to Possessor. to —E This Feature of War Revenue Measure Expected to Yield $533,000,000 a Year. WASHINGTON, May 26.—Elimina- tion of the 5 per cent manufacturing tax on automobiles in the war tax bill as passed by the House and sBub- stitution of a license tax, at a rate yet to be fixed, upon motor vehicles, payable by those having possession, was decided upon today by the Senate Finance Committee. The committee is considering a grad- uated license tax ranging from $1 or $2 upon low priced cars to $10 and $20 on more costly vehicles. The committee’s action is said to be the forerunner of further reductions o/ the 5-per-cent taxes on special indus- tries. The Senate Committee also rejected the tax on motor cycles and on auto- mobile, motor cycle and bicycie tires and tubes. Under the House bill it was ex- pected to raise $80,500,000 from the motor vehicle industries, and $66,000,- 000 from the we ge amendments. The income ta section as first drawn, including the 2 per cent nor- mal tax, and the House Committee's surtaxes, also were adopted by the Senate Committee. It struck out, however, the increased sutaxes in in- comes over $40,000 added in the House on amendments by Represen- tative Lenroot of Wisconsin. The income tax schedule, as adopted by the commitee, is expected to raise $533,000,000 annually, $161,- 000,000 from individuals and _ $372,- 000,000 fn@m corporations. The retroactive tax of 33 1-3 per cent upon incomes taxed in 1916 had previously been eliminated by the committee. : Committeémen said they now ex- pect no further changes in the in- come tax rates, which will stand vir- tually as drawn by the House Ways and Means Committee. As final enactment of the measure by Congress before June 1 is im- possible, the date fixed in the House bill when increased railroad and Pull- man tickets, freight and express taxes would go into effect, the Senate Committee plans to substitute a later date rather than have the taxes re- troactive. The revision agreed upon today entails material reduction of revenue to be provided by tho bill, but the loss is expected to be made up by the new motor car license and other tax charges under consideration. MASQUERAY, CHIEF OF DESIGN FOR WORLD'S FAIR HERE, DIES Artistic Success of Exposition Due in Large Part to His Skill—Suc- cumbs in St. Paul. ST. PAUL, Minn., May %.—Emmanua!

INCOMES, ~ [ORDER PROHIBITS |f ‘TREATING’ MEN IN MILITARY FORCE Unlawful to Serve Liquor to Militiamen and Sailors as Well as Soldiers. An announcement made by United States District Attorney Oliver today and a ruling sent out from Washington by Attorney-General Gregory, make it clear that the serving of any intoxicat- ing drink to a United States soldier, ma- rine or sailor in uniform is a violation of the law. The District Attorney said there had been a false impression among saloon-. keepers and bartenders that a man in uniform could be ‘'treated’’ and thit serving a drink to him under such cir- cumstances did not constitute a sa'e. This, he says, is not so and the law for- bids the serving of the drink. Attorney-General Gregory in his rul- ing holds that the law against serving drinks to ‘‘the military forces’ of the United States includes members of ‘he militia and naval reserves, whether or not they have been mustered into the Federal service. The penalty for each offense is a fine of $1000 or one year in jail, or both: Many 8t. Louis saloons have posted signs on their bars announcing they will not serve drinks to officers or privates in uniform. Some Have been selling to sailors and militiamen and others have served drinks to soldiers when civilians were the purchasers. NAVY WANTS 2000 DOCTORS Examination of 377 Candidates Set for June 2.

The first raider to arrive was the leader of a squadron of five.

The raider was followed by the ether four at a slightly lower elevation. They sailed in a bee line across town, dropping bombs continuously.

ADMIRAL TELLS HOW FRANCE HAS FOUGHT U-BOATS Minister of Marine Says Nearly 600 Small Patrol Boats Are Operating. HAS 170,500 CURTAIN NETS Lacaze Speaks Optimistically of Situation——5,400,000 Tons of Shipping Lost. BY Associated Press. PARIS, May %.—Replying to inter- pellation on submarine warfare last night in the public session of the Cham- ber of Deputies, Rear Admiral Lacaze, the Minister of Marine, gave an ifiter- esting outline of the means of defense France had adopted against the under- sea boats. “T gee no reason why I shoeuld not speak of these methods in publig,”’ said Admiral Lacaze. “It would be childish to think they are unknown to the en- emy. They consist of @ system of pa- trol boags, of arming merchantmen with guns and fitting them with wireless: of seaplanes, nets, mines, smoke-raising devices and dragnets. “IT sought to get patrol boats buiit here and buy them abroad. I scoured the world over with missions, covering the ground from America to the North Cape, from the Cape of Good Hope to Japan, but England had been‘there be- forehand. .When I entered the ministry I found 24 patrols. Now we have 562.”’ (A Bocialist voice: “It. is formidable.’’) To Increase Patrol Boats. “I do not say it is formidable,” con- tinued the Minister, “nor have suffi- cient, and I have drawn up a scheme which will increase the figyre to 900. T continue to buy in London, the world's center for shipping. I am obliged to do so because our ghip yards had been almost completely abandoned: because, as a result of that short war theory which weighed sO regrettably upon all decisions taken at the outset of the war, the yards had been transformed into war material factories to meet the press- ing need of the national] defense. We have now got back most of the ar- senals and a number of private yards, together with skilled workmen. “The guns we mounted on the patrol boats have peen referred to disdainfully, but you gannot put 10- centimeter guns on a smal)! vessel. A patrol coast on guard, armed with 95-millimeter guns, met two subma- rines armed with 105-millimeter euns, sank one. and put the other to flight. - “We have 1200 dragnets as well as 170,500 curtain nets and 6000 20-foot float nets. which indicate the presence of submarines. We have special bombs for submarines and apparatus to throw them. “We have organized seaplane hosts ali around the coasts so that the zone of action of each post joins that of its neighbor on either side. By October ail merchantmen and patrollergs will be fitted with wireless and all merchant- men supplied with guns of as heavy Cal- iber as possible, for which measures programs have been drawn up even beyond what was thought possible.’ ‘Our enemies.’’ he began, “have said that they would bring England and France to their knees. | have said and I repeat it, the submarines will not conquer us.’’ ‘The losses of the first four months of this year may be totailed at 2,600,00) tons,”’ the Minister deciared. ‘*‘Taking into account the new boats building, and without any optimiam whatever. the loss at the end of this year with the same intensity of destruction woud be 4,500,000 tons out of a tetal of more than 40,000,008 tons.

KERSTING CASE DISCUSSED Head of Local Organization Says He Was Virtually “Kicked Out.’ Dr. Charles H. Weinsberg of 283 La- fayette avenue, Missouri president of the German-American Alliance, speak - ing at’a meeting of the &t. .branch at 1508 Chouteau avenue Ilart night, told the members they should re- frain from eriticising the United States Government at their meetings. He adéd- ed that the alliance had no contro! ove. what the memoers might say outside the meetings, as that was a matter which was left to their own individual respon- sibility. In his speech Dr. Weinsberg called at- tention to recent resignations from the organization and said there would be more of these unless speakers at the méetings refrained from discussing war topics. Resignations From Alliance, Dr. Weinsberg today told a Post-Dis- patch reporter there had been five or six resignations recently, but. he did not know the names of those who resigned. I’. W. Keck, president of the St. Louis branch of the Alliafice, said the only resignation resulting from discussions as to the lovalty of Alliance members was that of Henry A. Kersting, Associ- ate City Counselor. Kersting was dropped from the rolls at last night's meeting. As Keck today expressed it, he ‘‘was the same as kicked out,”’ in accordance with a rec- ommendation made by the board of di- rectors at an exciting meeting a week Ago. Keck said the only other recent res- ignations were those of three or four members whose withdrawal was not due to the loyalty controversy. Wonld Diseuss War Tepics. The Rev. H.

A public school holiday on June 6, registration day for the selective dra<t. has been declared by the Board of Edu- eaticn. This step was taken after acting Mayor Aloe requested of Superintendent Withers that the schools be dismissed tu impress upon the childten patriotism and to enable teachers to act as inter- pretcrs at registration places. Supt. Withers at first opposed the idea of holiday on the ground that Reg- istration day could be more appropriate- ly observed in the schools by holding but after confer- ences with members of the board, he dnnouficed the holiday. In a formal statement, outlining his position, he said that personatly he believed that R egistration day was a solemn occa- sion in the affairs of the country, and that it should not be observed in a holi- day spirit, but that the board had de- cided -to close the schools because of the decision of State and city officials to proclaim a holiday. The Acting Mayor has estimated that ‘nterpreters will be needed in at least 56 of the 500 precincts. He issued a call for volunteer interpreters. Rules as to Registrution. Associate City Counselor Hamilton gave an opinion to Acting Mayor Aloe and City Register Witter that men who are required under the law to reg- ister June 5, and who know they are to be out of the city on that day, may register in any county seat*or city having 90,000 or more inhabitants at any time before June 5, the only require- ment being that their registration cards be returned to St. Louis by that day. ‘A youth who said he was a resident of Holland, tou in the United States,, calied at the ster’s office to ask where he should register. He was told thet as he had no residence in the United States he could select his own place of registration. He finally de cided to call the first hotel in New York at which he stopped his piace oi residence. George Sisler, first baseman for thé Browns, was another caller at the City Register’s office. He said he woyld be in Canada June 5. There ts no provi- sion for the registration of men who are absent from the country SONG BUT NO FUSS ON Considerable Humor, Some Funk But no Heroics, Among Aus- tralians on Balarat; All Saved Corresponience of the Asaociated Press. ILONDON, May 16.—What happens when a transport loaded with troops is torpedoed by a German submarine is graphically told in the story of the sinking of the steamer Ballarat, which was torpedoed April 2%, while carrying Australian troops to England, and sunk without the loss of a man. Drill, discipline and tradition counted. There were no heroicsp fuss or panic, but considerable humor and much ef- ficiency. As the vessel did not sink for four hours, there was ample time to save even the ship’s pets and thé sol- diers’ mascots. It was Anzac day and the officers }were planning to hold a memorial serv- ice. The commanding officer wae deal- ing with a remanded case. ‘‘And what have you been doing?” he asked. Then came a dull crash, a sound that seemed, as he said, ‘to lift the skin off your face,"’ and the ship began to take a list. The “alarm” was instantly sounded by the bugies, instantly followed by the "advance." Without confusion of any kind the men in four minutes fell in at their beat stations. During the voyage they had been told the stories of the Southland and Birkenhead, of the be- havior of the troops and men on these occasions. Those men who hed used flowery and fluent parts of speech con- demning the previous boat drills, now used equally literary expressions in | praise of them. “Old Man's on the Bridge.” “It's all right, boys,’ a man calied out, “the old mian is on the bridge."’ ‘Don’t sing too loud,” said an officer, laughing, ‘because I can't give orders.” The order to ‘stand easy" was given out. The turn. of the ndvy came now. The mén knew instinctively that the navy would turn up. It turned up. Destroyers and trawlers appeared like magic.

It is expected the list of 1100 registrars will be completed this evening. The liat for half the wards were presented t» the ward boards yesterday and the re- mainder will be presented today. Two changes were made yesterday in ward boards. Dr. Aibert E. Taussig, [038 Washington avenue, was appointed to serve in the Twenty-eighth Ward im the place of Dr. W. #. Leighton and Dr. Grandison D.

While waiting for the boats to Le lowered some of the men sang, some settled down to play cards, and most of them smoked. The nurses remained with the medical staff until all the patients had been provided for, and the whole medical staff remained with the patients until they were safely placed in boats. Every pet was saved, with the ex- ception of some of the ship’s cats, and cats, as Kipling says, prefer to walk alone. Over the side went Bill An- zac. an Australian parrot in a cage: a gray squirrel had the run of a raft: a fox terrier and her puppies are the guests of the officers of a destroyer. And it was all done decently and in order. The bandmaster, who was wont to call upon his band to fall in by means of a certain call on his cornet, had saved that instrument, and, when the men were in the beats, they heard from a destroyer the old familiar cor- net sing out, and across the water came a great noise of laughter from all the boats because the little joke had struck home. The men had lost their ship, were miles from any- where, in open boats, but they could see the humor of it. “We Do the Thine Well.” It wasn't éxactly courage, because heaps of the men werd in a funk; and it wasn't exactly bluff, because you can't put up a biuff tn a sinking ship. and the sea looks awfully big when one can't see any tIand, and there's just a handful of officers run- ning the job and enough boats, and a fearful ignorance of maritime geog- raphy. It is a thing which ts very difficult to define. It was the voice of the empire speaking to each man and saying. “We do the thing well, and we always have, and we are al- ways going to. Are you game?’ The men were splendid. They were landed with promptness and dispatch, and some set foot on England for the first time without Loota. The submarine was never seen. But the British navy was there and took a very great part; prompt assistance, up to time, and no fuss.

VOTE ON DRY RESOLUTION Jones of Washington Will Ask for Committee’s Discharge Un- less Early Report Is Made. By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May 26.—Senator Jones of Washington caused a flurry among Senate leaders yesterday when he announced if the Judiciary Commit- tee does not make an early report on his joint resolution proposing a prohibi- tion amendment to the Constitution, he will ask that it be discharged from further consideration and the matter be voted on without committee action. The threat of Senator Jones is approved by the prohibitionists, who would pro- ceed with their program against liquor regardless of the war or war measures. ‘IT desire it known,’’ said Jones, “‘thar unless action is taken by the commit- tee within a reasonable time, I shall make a motion to discharge the com- mittee from the further consideration of the subject that it may be brought before the Senate for action.”’ The Jones FKesolution. The Jones resolution, which is indorsed by the prohibition leaders of the na- tion, provides for the following amend- ment to the Constitution: “Section 1. The manufacture, sale, disposal, or transportation of intoxi- cating liquors within, the importation thereof into, and the exportation there- of, from the United States and all ter- ritory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes are hereby pro- hibited. “Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appro- priate legislation, and nothing in this article shall deprive the several states of their power to enact and enforce laws prohibiting the traffic in’ intoxicating liquors."’ Discussion of the question of war- time prohibition took place at the conference among French and Brit- ish mission members and American official, it -was learred today. It is understood that the opinion was ex- pressed by both Jriti-h and American officials that prohibition may eventu- ally become a necessity in both En- gland and the T'nited States.

ARCHITECT LOSES SUIT AGAINST MILLIKEN FOR MAUSOLEUM PLAN Jury Decides Check for $1550 Which Manufacturer Exhibited Was for Payment in Fall. The jury which heard the evidence !n William H. Gruen’s suit against John T. Milliken for $1670.66 for mauso- leum plans in Judge Calhoun’s court yesterday decided that Milliken did not owe Gruen anything. A check for $1550 won the case for Milliken. He testified that he gave it to the architect on Dee. 10, 1915. It was introduced in evidence. It bore the notation: “Payment in full of all claims to date.” Gruen said that was for factory plans, but the jury decided otherwise. Gruen testified that Milliken not only engaged him to draw a mauso- leum but wanted the plans in three months. Milliken said Gruen made the plans on his own responsibility and denied that he was in a hurry to die. That was the slowest thing he wanted to do, he said.

Three Brothers to ‘‘Renovate Their Americanism. ”’ Meeker made public in Washington last night a letter he had written to three St. Louis brothers who made a demand upon him to vote for the immediate repeal of the “outrageous Congressman unconstitutional conscription act.’’ The three brothers are Edward C. Herman, over 3, a painter; Walter Herman, 26, a former actor, and John L.. Herman, 28, a teacher of piano music, all living at 3540 McKean avenue. In their letter to’ Congressman Meeker they declared that the conscription law was in violation of the Thirteenth amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits involuntary servitude, and that the Government was falling into the ‘‘throes of militarism” and ‘‘vield- ing to the iron will of a few Mars- maniacs and a general war-made press.”’ John L. Herman explained to a Post- Dispatch reporter today that he and , his two brothers had sent the letter to Congressman Meeker and had also sent numerous letters to Senators Reed and Stone, Speaker Clark and Congressman Igoe. He said that he and his two brothers were born in St. Louis, and that their father was also born in this country. “IT am in favor of letting those fight who want to fight, while those who do not want to fight remain at home,’’ Herman said. ‘‘I am opposed to killing. If I should be put into. the firing line, I would not have the courage to kill one of the enemy. I would not even kill a man if I knew he intended to kill me. I-could not even kill a bug.”’ Herman added that he was not a Ger- man sympathizer, but was opposed to all wars. Congressman Meeker advised the three brothers to “renovate and overhaul their Americanism.’’ He wrote that the founders of the nation evidently never dreamed that anybody would appreci- ate its privileges so lightly as to take the ground that compulsory military service is involuntary servitude.

REPLIES SYMPATHETIC Summer Offensive Against Chan- cellor and Count Czernin Be- cause of Peace Attitudes. COPENHAGEN, May %.~—The Pan- Germans have settled down to’ steady summer offensive against Chancelics von Bethmann-Hollweg. The plan f campaign, as disclosed by the German papers, includes a day by day appea! to Field Marshal von Hindenburg, through telegrams of greetings from local meet- tings of the Pan-German League, to tn- duce him to come out openly ‘or the Pan-German scheme of annexattons and against the Bethmann-Hollweg peace program. The Chancellor’s opponents aré con- fident that, if they can array Von Hin- denburg against Von Bethmann, ‘tne fate of the Premier is sealed. P The published replies of the Field Mar- shal to some of the greetéings indicate that he shares the views of the Pan- Germans to some extent. The telegrams, however, have been worded so skilfully that they permit Von Hindenburg io answer sympathetically. without com- mitting himself on the questions at is- sue. Pan-Germans Confused. A secorid part of the campaign, name- ly, a great patriotic appeal against the Socialists, on the strength of neide- mann’s threat of revolution, s€éems to have been thrown into complete conf .- sion by the disclosures of the Vor- waerts and the Tageblatt that the |’an- German leaderg used the same threat, although in an exactly opposite discus- sion. A third and all important side of the campaign is agitation against constitu- tional reform. This has developed main- lv in conservative gatherings, where. it is sure of a sympathetic response, and here the outcry against the Chancellor is voiced without the slightest reserve. The most violent abuse is hurled arainst the Chancellor in speeches by the Conservative Deputy von Graefe and the ‘‘uncrowned king of Prussia,’’ Von Hleydebrand, who insistently demanded his retirement. Count Czernin Asaailed., Side by side with the anti-Bethmannh campaign, the Pan-Germans are assgail- ing Count Czernin, the Austrian Foreign Minister, for his attitude in regard to peace. The courtesy as usually affect- ed by the two countries is ignored and roost virnlent language is used. The Tages Zeitung says that it is cred- itably informed that Count Czernin’s last mevement to headquarters was for the purpose of winning the Kaiser and Von Hindenburg to his view and that the results are unknown. Vice Chancellor Helfferich, Foreign Secretary Zimmermann and Minister of Finance Roedern are expected to visit Vienna next week, ostensibly to nego- tiate a new commercial treaty and to discuss other important economic ques- tiens. “% BANK OF LEBANOK CLOSED State Commissioner Said to Be In- vestigating Securities.

At the same time he is publishing solemn warn- ings against an underestimation of the intentions of the United States. In tne Zukunft of May 5 Harden, adopting his favorite literary trick of replying t° an imaginary correspondent, writes: “T have received as something long expect your advice not to include America in account as a real military factor. I have received it with as much calm and amusement as possible. ‘In this late spring of terrible death, the most fearful period of war that there yet has been, the Congress of the United States, a country inhabited by 100,000,000 people, has resolved, has rv- solved by two-thirds majority, on uni- versal military service.

Ruzsky, who has arrived here after relinquishing the command of the Rus- sian army on the northern front, spoke hopefully of the improvement in, the morale of the troops on that front. He said thut there was no fraternizing with the enemy now and no deficiency in the shell supply, but that owing to local con- ditions an offensive on a large scale was impossible. If the improvement continues and the Russian armies fulfill their duty toward their own country and their allies, Gen. Ruzsky believes the Germans can be beaten by autumn and forced to accept thé allies’ peace terms. Gen. Ruzsky places great reliance on the personal in- fivence with the troops of Minister of War Kerensky. Addressing a congress of 200 delegates representing the military forces on the Rumanian front, Gen. Stcheroatchoff. commander of the Rumanian forces at Odessa, said: ‘‘While the principle ‘of peace without annexations or indemnities is highly moral, it should not alter the course of the war. It is a principle to be real- ized at a peace conference, not by the armies in the trenches. Whoever sin- cerely desires peace should aim at vic- tory, especially after the _ revolution, when victory is indispensable in order that we shall not lose our newly gained liberty. The. country is in danger. Let us help it to know that never ‘were we so strong as now and never wag the enemy so weak. “T am telling you the truth and 1 call upon you to undertake a vigorous of- fensive: but for that a high warlike spirit and strict military discipline must be restored.”’ Reports that an attempt was made on the life of Minister of War Kerensky early this week are without foundation.

U.S. GIVES UP. vs a € # WOODEN SHIP PLAN, WILL USE STEEL Manufacturers Promise Ge Goethals That They Wil Furnish Material. \ CONFERENCES ON Program to Build 1000 Wooden Vessels in 18 Months Declared . to Be Hopeless. NEW YORK, May %.—The ships chat the American Government will build to beat the German submarine and carry supplies to our European allies will be constructed of steel instead of wood and the men who contro! the output of tron and steel in this country have given their pledge to Maj.-Gen. George W. Goethals to furnish the necessary ma- terials. Informal conferences were ex- pected to be held here today by the iron and steel manufacturers who are spend the annual convention of the American Iron and Steel Institute which closed last night with the annual dinner. Gen. Goethals’ appeal for the co-op- eration of the iron and steel manufactur- ers found an enthusiastic and patriotic response at the dinner after he had told them that the proposal to build one thousand 3000-ton wooden ships in 18 months “is simply hopeless.” Wooden Prearem ane “Gentlemen,’ — Goethals, “when we cessation ths » we birds are now nesting in the trees that were to go into these ships and that these ships must have a speed of not leas than bt, knots if they are to escape the subma- rines, the proposition was simply hope- less. “In that, contingency I came to New York and saw Mr. Farrell, president of the United States steel corporation and was assured by him that steel was prwo- curable. I then announced the impve- sibility of the wooden ship program and asked for permission to change to steel. I fully succeeded in getting it.” Then Goethals emphasized the ‘uct that no small task had been undertaker He informed the steel men with empha- ris that the job would require the rapid manufacture of tremendous quantities of structural forms as well as the mate- irial going to make the hulls of the vee- sels. There would be plenty of work for the fabricating mills, too, he stated and it was at this point that the mem- bers of the institute leaped to their feet to pledge the full resources of their plants to the work of the shipping board. Wants M ‘Gen. Goethals ‘sald he Enew that the ehipyards were full and other means be- sides the yards must be employed if his steel program was to be carried out. He added that he wanted legislation to prevent the yards from laying down ships for any one except the Govein- ment.

I refer to your happily chosen editorial ‘in Wednesday's issue, captioried, “President Wil- ; ne son's Critics.” Just before the war resolution was _ adopted ty Congress, Senator Lodge of Massachu- _ Serts, an ardent Republican, who bitterly opposed ~ the President's re-election, mafie this statement: 4 “Speaking for myself and, I hope, for my associ- “ates generally on this side of the ehamber, I de- . ¢ gire to say that in this crisis, and when the coun- try is at war, party Hnes will disappear.” This is, indeed, a common-senge, logical view of a situation fraught with grave possibilities and ie shared in general, I believe, by members of the Opposition party in both the House and the Sen- ate. Despite this excellent example set by the | Senator from Massachusetts, we find persons in t ” s » * of 4 ® all walks of life who even now seize every avail- able opportunity to assail the President's policies . and the national administration from an angle of petty politics. This deplorable lack of insight ranges from the shrewdly conceived utterances of »a reactionary press and the yawping politician &: hg Ps toy seeking political capital out of a critical stiuation, to the disgruntled and thoroughly unreasonable rémarks of those in ordinary walks of life.

When a woman comes to me to learn about how to manage her property, the first thing I dc ig to teach her what she does not krow. by a series of simple questions which any property owner should be able to answer, but which few women who have inherited money can answer. If a woman owns an apartment house, for instance, I ask about the number and quality of her tenants, the desira- bility of the neighborhood, etc., and many other related things. It would astonish you to find out how few wom- en property owners are able to answer such questions when they first come to meé, “Many of my clients, however, are women of the home, who come and want to learn how to make their house pay as a business proposition. “A woman should not run her house- hold at a loss any more than hér hus- band should conduct his business at a loss. And she cannot tell whether the home shows a profit or loss unless she keeps household accounts, putting down in separate columns for rent, food, clothes, recreation, emergencies, etc. “Every woman should carry a pocket accoynt book; setting down every morn- ing the cash in her pocketbook and noting every expense, no matter how small the amount incurred. It is only by applying business methods to the home that the housewife can tell wheth- er she is managing her household prop- erly.

But if it prompts being made. al- persons of OMPLAIN'IS are ready that if well-to-do continue to buy the cheaper cuts meat they will create a famine in the articles which poorer families have beei: accustomed to purchase. ‘The rich are eating up the food of the poor,’’ a hotel man declared to me bitterly the other day. “Waste is bad, but undiscriminatin.: economy is worse,’’ Howard E. Coffin, member of the Advisory Commission of the Council for National Defense, an- nounced a few days ago. ‘“‘We_ need prosperity_in wartime even more than when we are at peace. Unemployment and closéd factories brought about through fitful and ill-advised so rates for public and private economy ill prove a foundation of quicksand for the serious work we have at hand.’’ HERE are signs already that Cof- fin's warning was much needed. A Fifth avenue house which specializes in garments for women who do not care what they spend, who are, in fact, thrilled by being asked to pay $100 more than a gown is worth, turned away 300 employes last week because its wealthy customers had suddenly withdrawn their patronage. Such disasters may be re- peated and general unemployme1.t among saleswormen result if the well-to- do undertake senseless and unpatriotic hoarding. . To spend money is not to waste it. The movement for household economy is excellent provided it reaches the right persons. But it is quite obvious that if families which have been buying turkey and squab take to eating braised oxtail and Irish stew there won't be anything for persons of limited incomes to con- sume. ; Tt seems equally clear, as Mr. Hoover has pointed out, that the way for the rich to help patriotically is by consum- ing perishable products that cannot be exported, such as game, fish, poultry and shell fish.

HE only wav T the really poor can economize is by consuming every particle of food they buy instead of throwing it away. Such economy ben- efits the individuals concerned, and so far as it affects merchants, they should find profit enough in supplying the real needs of the public. If our wealthy women want to follow the fashion set by Lady Colebrook and work for money, let them, as she did in England, work in munition factories. Then at least the industries of peace will not suffer from an oversupply, and the poor districted housewife might be able to keep a cook or housemaid more than a jweek at a time. Very patriotic ladies might offer their services in a muchMeglected field. I got a letter last week from a farmer who asked pertinently: s* UV HAT is the use of shipping farm hands to the farmer, of turning out the high school boys in squads to work the farms if the farmer's qwife can't get anybody to help her cook for the hands?” Amone the thousands of women who have offered to run ambulances, G0 scouw duty in aéroplanes,.'take finger prints or X-ray pictures.: I have. not heard of a single volunteer for housework or for cooking on a farm.

To get up at dawn pie t fry griddle cakes for a host of hungry farm hands is another picture. tet this is what the real dilettante of patriotism should be willing to do.

When he came to die the Countess Lichtenau removed it from his hand. Frederick stirred un- easily, and said: “Her den ring.’ “He is asking for a herring.’ quick- ly said the Countess, and those about the monarch’s bedside thought the re- quest nothing more than the vagary of a dying man. The loss of the ring, according to the legend, resulted in the disastrous de- feat of Prussia by Napoleon. The Count- ess, mindful of the old monarch’'s be- lief, finally yielded the ring to Fred- erick Wiihelm in 1818, whereupon the tide of fortune turned. ’ When Kaiser Wilhelm came to the throne he inherited the ring along with other jewels, and is said to have become a passionate beilever tn the old superstition.

When he fied from Sweden last Jan- wary part of his baggage was seized by the Swedish authorities and found to contain a large quantity of high ex- plosives packed in tin cans marked “corned beefg’ It remained, however, for the Norwegian police to uncover the real extent of his equipment.

LOUIS Fust-DISPATCH ENGI BOMBS AND [DANGER TO NAVY ~—BAUILLE CARRIED STIRS NATION 10 SEARCH OUT SPIES Admiral Sims Reveals Germany Knew Destroyers Were on Way to Europe. MINE - STREWN HARBOR Removed Before Ships Reached Queenstown—Daniels Denies Loss of Any Naval Vessels. WASHINGTON, May 26.—Admira] Sims’ report from London that Ger- means learned that were bound for many by some American destroyers European waters at least four days be- fore they reached Queenstown strength- ened today the Government’s determina- tion to search out spies and close chan- nels of military information which ap- parently still exist between the United States and Germany. That the Quenstown harbor entrance was strewn by submarines with mines intended for the American ships was considered by officials as proof that the German infurmation eoncerning the de- parture and destination of the boats was accwrate. The seriousness of the dis- closure was not greatly ameliorated by the fact that the German plan was dis- covered in time and the destroyers saved. Sims’ Information Positive. Rear Admiral Sims in his dispatch to the Navy Department said his informa. tion was positive. Immediate publicity was given the fact, the department making clear that its purpose was to let the people know of the activity and success of Teutonic spies and to emphasize the necessity for absolute secrecy in connection with naval operations or shipping movements. The destroyers, now aiding in the hunt for submarines in European waters un- der the direction of Admiral Sims, put into port at Queenstown on May 16. How long they were in crossing the Atlantic or from what port they sailed never has been announced and until word of their arrival came by cable only a few persons in the United States even knew of the Government's decision to send warships to Burope Vigilance to Be Redoubled. The result will be to redouble the vigil lance of the censors and of every agen- cy of the Government engaged in root- ing out the spy system. Every German known to have been connected with the espionage work of his Government already is under arrest or under surveillance. Other arrests may follow at any time, and now that the country is at war and the revela- tion of its secrets may mean death t> its sailors and soldiers, swift punish- ment undoubtecly will be dealt out to any convicted epy. Men now in custody operated when the United States was ai rettral. Spying now is a very different thing and is likely to lead to the gallows in- stead of to comfortable detention quar- ters. In announcing Admiral Sims’ dis- patch, the Navy Department, through the Committee on Public Information, said: “The department calls attention to this fact as proof that the German spy sys- tem ifs still at work in this “country, making imperative the need of secrecy in connection with our naval operations. The premature y;-ublieation of ship move- ments is particularly a source of dan- ger."’ Denien U. 8. Ships Are Sunk, A categorical denial that any Amer: lcan naval vessels have been sunk in the war was issued by Secretary Daniels to counteract a ‘‘campaign of vicious ru- mors that is being carried on so indus- triously Dy persons unknown.”’ “It is with deep regret,"’ said the Sec- retary in a formal statement, ‘‘that I note the daily stream of false reports with regard to the sinking of American ships. Brokerage wires are a particu- lar source for those baseless rumors that cannot but be the cause of needless dis- tress to every true American as well as tu the mothers and fathers of the nation who have sons at sea. “The department has given repeated assurance that ite policy is to be one of absolute frankness with respect to dis- aster. If it should be that ships are sunk, full information will be given out officially and quickly. “The reason for these false reports cannot be ascertained. The one hope is that the press will refuse to aid this campaign of vicious rumor that is being carried on so industriously by persons unknown.” PUBLIC SERVICE BOARD PLANS TO BUILD CITY GARBAGE PLANT President Kinsey Saye Materiel Can Re Obtained and Work Com- pleted by September, 1918.

In addition to her participation in all the program numbers she has a duet with a mandolin, also two solos. The music program will be concluded about 10 o’cléck, when the floor will be cleared, and the dance privilege be open to everyone present. This part of the entertainment will be continued until midnight. In thus exteacing aid to the Post-Dis- Patch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund the Greek Mandolin Club is but pursuing a« policy that is one of the fixed principles of the organization. It does not seek in any of its undertakings to make money for itself, but is at all times ready to lend aid to a deserving cause. eee IDEAL VACATIONS IN WISCONSIN.

FARM HOMES '- LEVELED Special Train From Wichita With Physicians and Nurses Goes to Scene. WICHITA, Kan., May 24.—A tornado late yesterday tore a jagged path through two counties and took a tol! of lives which late reports give as between 27 and 30. Andale, a village of less than 90 In- habitants, was the chief,gsufferer with sixteen identified dead. Country dis- tricts to the northeast near Sedgwick, reported nine fatalities while two dead were identified near Newton, still to the northeast. More than a half huna- dred persons have been injured. The twister arose in the Southwest and struck Andale with a suddenness that prevented any organized escape Resi- dences and business buildings of the town were reduced to splinters with the accompanying loss of life. The tornado swept on through what is known as one of the richest farming districts of the state, leveling standing grain and farm houses and outbuildings. Sedgwick on the northern edge of the county barely was missed by the storm. only a few buildings in one corner of the city falling. The twister dissolved as suddenly as it developed near Newton. A special train was rushed from here to Andale with physicians and nurses. The dead and seriously injured were brought here. The victims and injurad in thg other localities were attended without outside aid. State Senator S. T. Danner was probably fatally injured at Newton. Army Consiguments Lost; Other Fires Reported. AMSTERDAM, Tageblatt, a copy of which has been re- ceived here, describes a big fire in the Moabit freight station in Berlin. There were repeated explosions of tanks of benzine, petroleum, oxygen and hydrv- gen, says the newspaper, and great de- struction was wrought to the sheds an4 the goods in them and also to some ariny consignments. Some sia, has been destroyed by fire. A fire in the railway station at Stettin, graph, ing of fruits and vegetables. other fire in a basket factory at Halle. and that incendiarism is suspected. 7 BERLIN FREIGHT HOUSE BURNS May %.—The Berliner The Berliner Lokal Anzejger prints a dispatch from Breslau saying that tne small town of Osjory, near Grodno, Rus- near Halle, on the Saale, says the Tale- resulted in the destruction of a quantity of baskets used in the forward- This news- paper adds that there also has been an- WOMAN SERGEANT-MAIJOR, IN LETTER, TELLS OF WOUNDS “The Serbs Are Fine Comrades,’’ Writes Former Nurse, Now a Soldier, Who Is in Hospital Recovering From 24 Wounds. LONDON, May 10.—The story of Miss Flora Sandes, the English woman who served as a nurse in Servia and later joined the army of that country and was wounded at Monastir, hag been told by correspondents. But here is a letter re- ceived by a London friend of Miss Sandes a few days ago. She omits to say in this letter that she holds the rank of Sergeant-Major and that she was struck as she was leading her men into an enemy trench. She has received the gold and silver cross of Karageorge—a Servian badge given only for conspicuous gallantry in the field. Her letter follows: I daresay you've heard that I got knocked out by a Bulgar hand bomb, so I never got into Monastir after all; but I’ve had a very good run for my money al! the time, as I had three months’ incessant fighting without a scratch. The newspaper account of the fighting was all off the line, The fighting was a sight that day, but, unfortunately, I only saw the start of it. There was deep snow on the ground, the bugle was blowing the charge, and we were going up the steep hillside while the Bulgars, hid- den by the early morning mist at the top, were firing down on ys. The ulgare had -coynter-attacked at dawn and driven our men back, and everybody was mixed up. There were no trenches or ane#thing like that. My compawy were peacefully sleeping in the snow behind a rook, as we were Battalion Reserve that night, when we were calied up at dawn as reinforcements. Battalion Reserve is a rotten job. You get all the shell fire that’s going, and you never know what's going on in front until you are suddenly roused out and plunged into the thick of it, as you're only a few hundred yards back and you sleep with your rifle in your hand. There's first a shout of ‘—— Com- pany forward,’’ and everyone's off like a streak. When we arrived on the scene the men were rallying for a counter-attack. The buglier had got ‘‘eol@ feat,’’ ard an officer had taken the bugle and was standing up agaist the skyline, where everyone could see him, a mark for every bu!- let, blowing for all he was worth. ..@ wasn't blowing a bit the right notes, but everyone knew what it meant. We knew the position had. to be retaken at any cost, as it meant the fall of Monastir if we could. We went anyhow we liked, taking cover as we could. An officer ana about a dozen men and myself got to the top, when some bombers dodged behind the rocks and hurled bombs at us at close range and scat- tered us. I was left alone, as.I couldn't move, but the officer crawled back right up to the enemy's lines and dragged me back over the snow by my hands to where two of my ‘“‘noncoms.’’ if * Wil if gt, , “Me if Ns) a) Me | Men fa hy! 743.704 Raat- 300 N.

NEW YORK. May %.—What is char- acterized by Health Commissioner Em erson of this city as “a promising de- velopment” in the search for a cure for infantile paralysis je described in the current issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association by Dr. M. Nustaedter and Dr. E. J. Banzahf. For six months they have been Carry- ing on experiments with monkeys at the Health Department laboratories. They have had such favorable resuits with the use of a serum derived from the blood of horses that Dr. Nustaedtec says: “The five neutralization experiments were positive without exception. The serum protected one monkey completely against a rnther slow-acting virus of the eighth generation originaly recovere l from a human patient. On acount of the «carcity of monkeys we could not make as many experiments as we woul! wish to, 80 we report the facts without drawing conclusions. We feel, however that we are justified in using the serum in human cases.” DR. ANNA SHAW CUTS HER MENU Her Suffrage Leader Eete Less 4s Part tn the War. PITTSBURG,. Pa..

Herschin ci MEDIATELY after the crew swung i aboard the moving train two men ‘eprang out of.a hiding place on the @ark side and made a dash for the blind baggage. They caught it easily. To their disappointment, however, they found that the narrow space be- tween the two cars was already pre- empted by two nonpaying occupants. Plainly these last mentioned men were physically capable of holding their ad- Vuntageous position. They were just out of Ashland, the southern end of the longest coast divi- gion on the Southern Pacific, which, with Roseburg. as the northern termi- nal, embraces 144 miles of Southern Ore- gon territory. One of the tramps lay prone at the ventilator over a lamp inside. He pulled his arms close up into his coat sleeves, doubled them around the little stack, and, with a quid of tobacco in his mouth, settled himself in anticipation of the coming cold. -@nd blurted into a thick, woozy * edge of worse to come. alr, * The other sat on the hump with his back to the wind and dosed himself with occasional long, deep ‘‘pulls’’ at a bottle of whisky. He offered his companion some. “Have a jolt, Billy,’’ he urged; heat y' up. Better than layin’ freezin’ stiff.” The prone one raised his head. “Nothing doing,’’ he refused. ‘I don't want it. Sling it away! What kind of a nut are you, anyway, boozing up here on a rambler? Gone dippy? Ditch it, or you'll flop off!’’ The convivial one growled angrily and muttered something about ‘“‘the gall o’ some people with their temp'rance lec- tures."" Then he took another ‘‘shot’’ ‘*bes’ “it'll there, band in th’ land!”’ “All right,” his mate said, ‘“‘you tank up if you want to; but for me, I can't stand it on the ground, let alone guz- gling on a top deck.” “Come on an’ hear; come on an’ hear, It's th’ bes’ band in th’ land!’’ was the foolish response. It was an ink-black night. The stars looked down with a cold steady stare. It had grown colder gradually, and now in the up-country the snow-chill and wind, stirred by the moving train, penetrated the tramps. Billy’s hands felt it first. Being cramped and awk- ward he withdrew them from his sleeves. He slapped them aroypd his body, on the roof and Against fie ventilator to induce a little warmth. | But it soon be- came wearisome, and when the lights inside were turned low it put an endo this source of comfort. His legs and feet pained. He jerked them up and down, trying to Keep the blood lively—without avail. Then all his body took to shaking; trembling nervously at first, then vio- lentiy with the increasing cold. He groaned—groaned with the bitter, icy, windrdriven cold, and the know!l- It was drawn from him without any effort on his part; just a natural involuntary objec- tion to the pain. Like a confused muttering he heard his friend still harping on the inane, “Come on an’ hear, come on an’ hear!” A merciful half-consciousness wae upon him. They were now at the high- est point on the right of way and were taking the down grade. The train took away on a swift run. Away she went—lurching now on this side, now on that. All this time the second tramp was conaciertiously feeding his appetite with whisky. A concluding “pull” at the hottie—and away it went through the propelled by a vicious drunken heave.

One day Pussy Cat came along to Toby Dog's house, where he was snooz- ing in the sun, looking very sad. “What is the matter, Puss?’ asked Toby. “You look as though you had lost all your friends."’ “Toby Dog,” said Pussy Cat, sitting down beside him, “I am worried and ! do feel sad.”’ “Whatever can make you worry. Puss?’ asked Toby. “You have plenty to eat and a nice place to sleep and the farmer and his wife treat you kindly. What more can you ask?” “Yea, I know they are kind most of the time,”’ sald Puss, with a far-off look in her big yellow eyes. “Oh, yes, I know they did take away your kittens,” said Toby, who had nev- er been a mother himself and did not know how Pusey Cat's heart ached when all her babies but one were taken Joint an’ have a , = —_ | Sway end she never saw them again. a BY MRS. PLA. WALKER AND PUSSY CAT, “lt am not worrying about those kit- tens,’ said Pussy Cat, “but some others. I have five of the prettiest little white kittens you ever saw, Toby Dog, hidden in the woods, and that is why I am worried.’ “You have!" saia Toby, sitting up and pricking up his ears. ‘get me see them."’ “I will, Toby Dog, if you will be very careful the farmer or his wife does not see you going to the woods.’’ “But what worries me is that they will be cold out there tn the woods pretty soon and I do not dare bring them into the house or barn for fear of losing them. “Once I had my kittens in the attic, but the farmer's wife thought I went there too often, so she followed me, and the next day they were gone. What can I do, Toby Dog, to save my’ babies?’ Toby looked at poor Pussy Cat and shook his head. “Il don't know. Puss. I am sure, but I will think it over and see if I can help you.” Puss ran off to her babies and the | next morning Pussy Cat. was at his ee house bright and early. “I think I can help vou,” said Tobr Dog,"’ but you will have to stop catch- ing the mice for a while and live on what the farmer's wife gives you.”’ “She does not feed me any too well,” said Pussy,, “for fear I will not catch the mice.’’ “IT think she Toby. “You must come every morning to the barn for your milk that the farmer pours in your pan, and then run down the road away from the woods until you are out of sight of the house, then you must craw: carefully through the grass until you can get back to the woods to your babies.’’ “But the milk is not enough. I have to feed five little ones now," said Pussy Cat. “Every morning I will take a pleee of my meat to the woods; they won't watch me, said Toby Dog. 3 “And I will take the old coat that 1 sleep on to the woods, too, and you can have it until you come back here to live. That will keep your babies warm these chilly nights."’ Pussy Cat lid just as Toby Dog told her, and for seven weeks she was seen only once in a while around the farm. “IT can't see what has happened to Pussy,’ said the farmer's wife one Ga: “I do wish she would stay at home and catch the mice about the house. We shall be overrun soon, if she doesn’t.”’ “I think Pussy should have more toe eat; she gets tired of catching mice’ said the farmer. “I will give her'‘a big- ger pan of milk after this, and see if that will keep her here.”’ Toby Dog overheard this taik, and off he ran to the woods. “‘Now is the time for you to come home with your chil- dren,”’ he told Pussy. “The farmer’« wife misses you.” “But the kittens are so big: they wl! follow me.

The farmer's wife was standing in the doorway when Toby Dog and Pussy Cat came up the path. Toby was wagging his tail and giving little sharp barks, as though to say, they are bie! “See what Puss has brought you,” and Pussy Cat walked with the air of ua Queen, followed by the five white kit. tens. “Well, if here isn't Pussy Cat,”’ said the farmer's wife. “So this is why vou have not vee. around here lately. Well Puss, you deserve to keep your babies this time, and there are enough mic« around here for 10 cats.
