GARDNER AND COUDREY TRIAL LIKELY TO BE PUT OFF AGAIN Former is Suffering From Paralysis and Latter From Broken Leg, Their Attorneys Say. The case against Harry B Gardner and. former Congressman Harry Ccud- rey, charged with using the mails to defraud in promoting insurance com- panies, set for June 4, in the United States District Court, probably wil) be continued again. A continuazce ‘was asked several days ago by their ;:ittor- neys, on the ground that neither is able tc appear {fn court. Judge Dyer told. them to produce proof. The attofneys were at the Federal Building today with affidavits - that Gardner is suffering from paralysis and that Coudrey is incapacitated at ““hurles- ton, 8. C., with a broken leg. Judge Dyer is out of twon. The afftdavits will be presented as soon as he returis. Gardner and Coudrey were convicted at a former trial but the case wus re- manded by the Court of- Appeu's on a technicality. At the last term:-cf court the case was continued because the de- fendants’ former lawyers had wil::drawn and the new ones had not had tine to ac quaint themselves with the case. 14 MORE ST, LOUISANS TO FRANCE Will Depart This Week to Join Wash- ington U.

The cabdlegram announcing the wherc- abouts of the party, last heard from in July, 1916, was signed by Dr. H. J. Hunt, surgeon of the expedition, whvu has reached the Faros Islands on his way to Denmark. It follows: ‘“‘MacMillan, Comer, Small and Hovey are-at Etah. Steamer Denmark (the second relief ship sent after the Mac- Millan expedition) is at North Star Bay (150 miles from Etah).

He arrived at Thorshaven, Faroe Islands, today. The trip from Etah to North Star Bay may be made by sledge, and it is be- lieved MacMillan and the remainder of the party will take ship there. SENATE COMMITTEE VETOES 10 PER GENT TARIFF INCREASE Proposes Direct Taxes on Specified Commodities as Substituted in War Revenue Bill.

In some Western cities there are evi- dences of an effort to defeat the :cxis- tration, but the Department of Justice, it is officially announced, is ful’, pre- pared to deal with the offenders under law and the new espionage bill, now nearing completion in Congress, which imposes heavy penalties for such oifenses. Scattered over the country are spo- radic efforts to interfere with registra- tion, but officials here do not believe they are connected. The Texas case, an. influencé Bcleer--|. ly established, and the arrest >f two 4 Mountaineers in Southwestern Virginia are the most conspicuous instances of the efforts. The two Virginians, William McCoy and J. W. Phipps, both well-known characters in the feud region, are in jail at Roanoke and Government agents Bay they have complete evidence to show they plotted organized resistance to the draft, as well as a wholesale at: tack upon the landed people of the vicinity. As the day of registration draws near the Department of Justice and othe agencies of the Government are care fully watching for evidences of resist- ance to the law and are prepared to deal with them promptly. “These arrests,’’ said Attorney-Gen- eral Gregory,:in an official statemen* referring to the- proceedings already under way, “should be accepted by the country generally as a warning against interfering with the enforcement of the provisions of the new army law. They ‘merely demonstrate what the Depart ment of Justice proposes to do in every case where attempts are made to hin. ‘der or discourage registration.”’ A section of the espionage bill deal- ing with interference with army regis- tration provides penalties of 20 years’ imprisonment and $10,000 fine. ! |ANTI-DRAFT INQUIRY AT KANSAS CITY KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 29.—A spe- cial Federal Grand Jury, to meet June 6, was called here today by Federal Judge A. 8. Van Valkenburgh. Francis M. Wilson, United States Attorney for Western Missouri, in asking that the jury be called, said it was necessary to investigate the cases of persotis who ‘were advocating non-compliance with the registration provision of the army , draft law. Calling the Federal grand jury pre- ceded by only a few minutes the filing ‘in the State Circuit Court here of in- ' junction proceedings asking that city, county and State officials be preventei from enforcing the registration law at Kansas City. The injunction was filed in the name of the Federal League for | Democratic Control, ahd was asked on l the ground of unconstitutionality.

Men past 31 should not try to register, as they will be refused and will only confuse the system. Marriage and the Droft. Men will not necessarily be exriuded from the selective draft becaure they ere married, Gen. Crowder said. “Only those whose dependents must rely sole- ly on them for support should claim exemption,”’ he gaid. “The. act extebiehing,.the. selective draft authorizes the President’ t: ex- clude pr dischapre from the droiay in a status with) pespect to p ss pendent upon them for support which | renders their’ exclusion’ or diécharge edvisable. The census estimate shows that almost half the men availe!.i«c for craft are married and any sweeping ex- clusion of married men, therefors, would be inadvisable.”’ Regulations to govern exemptions are being worked out by Gen. Cre wder with a number of prominent lawyefs, although the plans are not yet complete: Jury Wheel System. It is probable the jury wheel system will be followed in selecting those who are to go into the first army of 500,- 000 and not until the names hav been drawn and each registration district has provided the number apportioned to it, will exemptions be considered. Az each individual drawn reports, his cla:ms for exemption will be passed upon ard, if he is exempted, another will be drawn to fill the vacancy. The law provides for local Te SOR boards in each county and for cach 3,- 000 in city populations. Boards of re- view also will be established cn the basis of one or more to each Federal judicial district. All the boards will be composed of civilians. Secretary Bak- er said the process of selecting them had not been worked out. Groupings Being Made. In attempting to get at the classes subject to possible exemption for vari- ous Causes, some grouping has been made by census officials. There is hearly an equal division between mar- ried and single men, the single com. prising 53 per cent of the _ total, or 5, 327,400. If only single men are to be taken, then one out of five or six will be drawn. But it is certain that a con- siderable portion of these will be ex- einpted, some on account of physical disability, and a greater number be- catise of employment in some industrial occupation classified as necessary to conduct of the war. It is possible in some states that there will not be enough single men left after exemption to supply the quota and therefore the married men class will have to be drawn upon. There is one class certain to6 be at the top of the list and that is the 600,000 men reported by the census as “not gainfully occupied.” This means -young Trieste TRIESTE Plateau road to Trieste, which c HE advance of the Italian forces has brought them within two miles of Duino, which is the most strongly fortified point on the Carso is the main Italian objective. Duino is protected by Mount Querceto; which bristles with Austrian guns. Further south the Italians have moved onto San Giovanni on the Gulf of Trieste. —— ‘(eee British Do Not Inquire Where | May Be, Says AMSTERDAM, May 2. MPEROR.

EXPENDITURES TO DATE $900,000,000 OVER LAST YEAR WASHINGTON, May 29.—The Govern ment’s expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30 so far reached $1,600,000, - 000 today, more than $900,000,000 In excess of last year’s expenditures up to the present date and a new high record in American history. The chief item of the increase, $607,500,000, was purchase of the obligations of foreign Governments ‘in exchange for loans advanced to the al- lies. The sum does not represent by ap- proximately $140,000,000 the total amount authorized in loans. An increase of ap- proximately $245,000,000 in the ordinary disbursements of the Government, chief- ly due to military and naval needs, also is recorded. Ordinary sscnniin also show an in- crease of more than one-third over last year, the total to date being }§°18,000,000. The chief item of increase is the in tax, payment so far this year having reached the total of $155,000,000, as com- pared with $28,000,000 last yeas.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCK, May 2.—The old adage of “all work and no play’’ has its appli- cation in war.as well as in peace, The baseball season on the western front is in full swing. . Under;the very shadow of Vimy Ridge a great game was played resterday afternoon before an all-khak! audience on a bit of the battle field cn which the shell holes had been filled in and a rough grandstand erected for the officers and other spectators, includ- ing Gen. Horne, commanding the First British Army, who has become an en- thusiastic fan. The game was between teams repre- senting two Canadian brigades. As a matter of fact, all the teams in what may be called the World War League are now composed of representatives of the numerous Canadian bodies, and all the players aré anxiously awaiting the arrival of the American forces to arrange for an inter-league series. The Second Canadian Brigade beat the Third by the score of 7 to 1. The Second Brigade had a great ieft-hand- ed pitcher whose delivery the Third Brigade batters could not solve. The Third Brigade team also ha4 a good boxman, who formerly played with Ot- tawa in the Canadian League. The catcher was unable to hold his The gafme was retharkably free from errors, considering the battieficic dia- mond on which it was played. All the equipment had been brought from | ica, Including the base bags. As a side show it was possible is ae grand stand to see an occasional Ger- man shell dropping haif a mile away. Airplanes were humming overhead, but assuming them to be friendly ne one looked their way except when a fly ball happened to be hit.

The negro took $22 from the other man, Fred E. Ryan of 549 North Thirteenth street. This increased the excitement, and a part of the crowd, going south on Main street, stopped a street car and, taking two negroes out of the car, handled them roughly. They then proceeded to Broadway, and to Trendley avenue, where are a number of negro saloons and barber shops, and broke the win- dows of some of these places.

St. Louis has been allotted $25,000,000 of the bonds. The Liggett & Meyers “Tobacco Co. vesterday subscribed for $1,000,000 worth of bonds, to be distributed principally among its 15,000 employes.

He was dismissed. by the company because of his agitation against measures relating to the war. The Grand Jury is to be convened the day following the registration date, su that it can consider the cases not only of agitators, but also of men eligible for the army who may fail to register. Both Judge Van Valkenburgh and Wilsou said all persons concerned with failures to register would be prosecuted fully. “IT some times have shown leniency in sentencing offenders,’ Judge Van Valk- enburgh said, “‘but that will not be done in the cases of those who fail to register. or who conspire to defeat the draft law. they may expect the maximum prison sentences.’ Contentions in Injunction Sult. The injunction petition in the state court names Gov. Gardner and Mayo: Edwards of this city, in addition to the local Board of Election Commissioners, which actually will handle the registra. tion here. Involuntary servitude is created by the draft act, the petition states, and adds that the question is whether citizens “may be taken by force and enlisted in a foreign war." “If this does not destroy the republic and establish in its place a military em- pire, then that is impossible to one done,’ it states. ‘“‘No public necessity exigts and thus it creates revolution, for it destroys all the protection of the Constitution.”’ The registration also violates the Mis- souri Constitution, the petition declares, as State officers, in carrying out the enrolling, will hold Federal positions. As this is claimed to be illegal, the peti- tion save quo warranto proceedings will be instituted to oust any State officer who aids in the draft registration. It closes by stating that Gov. Gardner and the Federal Attorney refused to join with the petitioners in testing the legality of the draft law. The petition was presented by J. D. Showalter of Independence, Mo., who in 1910 opposed Senator Reed tn the Democratic primary for the nomination, and campaigned through the State on horseback.

CUTS APPROPRIATION Would Reduce Cost of Food Sur- vey From $14,770,000 to $12,250,000. WASHINGTON, May 29.—Immediate consideration of legislation to prevent undue storage of food hy dealers was directed today by the Senate Agricul- } tural Comitteee. It substituted the Levey food bill, passed yesterday by the Jiouse, providing for a food census And prohibition stimulation, for a simiUar bill the Senate has been considering and added an amendment by Senator Pindexter ‘to penalize storage of food- stuff and other necessaries with intent to limit supplies or enhance prices. The bill as amended then was report- ed for debate, with one amendment, by Senator Kenyon, to exempt farmers an: other original producers from operation of the storage provision. Howse appropriations for various items were generally reduced, bringing the total of the bill from $14,70,000 to about $12, 250,000. Cuts Free Seed Fund. The committee reduced from $5,77,- G0 to $2,500,000 the House appropriation for free distribution of seeds and changed the Heuse bill so that the de- partment may buy but not commandeer seed supplies, sell them for cash, but not credit. For employment of persons to carry out the food census and other aéminis- trative work of the bill, the Senate com- mittee increased the House aprpopriation of $547,000 to $1,200,000.

Texas “Farmers’ and Laborers’” As- sociation Issues Statement. DALLAS, Tex., May 29.—Counsel for the Farmers’ and Laborers’ Protective Association of America has issued a statement saying it is believed by the association that the cause of the inter- vention in its alleged anti-conscription propaganda is the activity of the Na- tional Manufacturers’ Association, or some kindred organization organized to destroy union labor organizations. The statement says: “After an examination of 200° wit- nesses in Haskell and adjoining coun- ties, the Government has failed to find even. a shadow of proof of any disloyalty to the United States Gov- ernment. If any haréh words were spoken it was prior to the time the conscription law went into effect.’ Explaining the organization, the statement declares that the body was purely of farmers and laborers for protective p oses, and adds: ‘Strange Say, the Government agents were unable to discover the Bible as the fundamental book of law for the order, and the American flag, the emblem of liberty and justice, to which each member was required to show his fealty before admission to membership.” ° Circulars Opposing Draft Registration , Distributed in St. Louis. Edward J. Brennan, in charge of the St. Louis bureau of investigation for the Department of Justice, said today that no arrests had been made in St. Louis in connection with the agitation against registration for army draft He admitted that circulars against registration had been distributed in St. Louis by a Chicago organization, and that he had made an investiga- tion.

WASHINGTON, May 23.—Plans for en- listing the interest of persons in every walk of life in the sale and purchase of Liberty Loan bonds have bee an- nounced by the Treasury Department. In making public the program for ‘‘Lib- erty Loan Week,'’/which will begin next Saturday, the Treasury Department also gave out a statement by Samuel Gom- pers, president of the American Federa- tion. of Labor, requesting all mefhbers of labor organizations to buy bonds and Kelp the Government to make a suc- cess of the loan. ; | tiere is the program for Liberty Loai week: Saturday and Sunday, June 2 and 3—Liberty Loan days in the churches. Clergymen will preach sermons on behalf of the loan. Monday, June 4—-Merchants and manufacturers’ day, on which the merchants and manufacturers will unite in alding the sale of the issye. Tuesday, June 5—Profeesional and insurance men’s day. Every insur- ance agent in the country is expect- ed to devote the entire day to solicit- ing subscriptions to the bonds and professional men also will devote much of their time to the same cause. Wednesday, June 6—Labor and automobilists’ day. Thursday, June 7—Farmers’ day. Members of Granges and other farm- aers’ organizations throughout the country will make a concerted ef- fort to obtain subscriptions. Friday, June 8—Women’s day. Saturday, June 9.—Children'’s day. This program will be carried out in every community in the United States, and the Treasury Department expects that it will result in very large subscriptions. Every effort is being made to popularize the loan, so that practically every citizen of the United States will buy a bond and thus make a direct contribution to the success of the country’s war effort. In urging members of labor unions to buy the bonds, Gompers said that they are a safe investment, and that it is a patriotic duty to subscribe for them. He said he would do every- thing in his power to make June 5, _organized labor day for buying bonds, a notable success. Former President Taft, president of the League to Enforce Peace, is- sued a statement declaring that the Liberty Loan should be first in the mind of every citizen as the most pressing step to a victory and the establishment of a lasting peace. No greater service could be rendered the country and the cause of permanent peace than the purchase of the bonds, he said. *. - Exchange offers in books, musica! in- struments, typewriters, etc., in the Post- Dispatch Want Columns.

All male citizens between the ages vf 21 and 8, inclusive, in the United States, are required to register June 5, 1917. under the recent conscription ac. of Congress. The law provides severe penalty for failure to register. — ; The national, State and city Gov- ermaments are co-operating to have a complete registratior and to appre- hend anyone within the age limits of 21 to #, inelusive, whe fai's to regis- ter. The place of registration for partics residing in this building is ——. “21 to 30 Inclusive.” . The term “21 to 30 inclusive!’ means that the individual has passed his twenty-first birthday. and has not yet reached his thirty-first birthday. A man who will be 31 years old on the following day, June 6, will be re- quired to register. The 600 precinct polling places will be used for registration, with the ex- ception of those in 60 precincts, where other places have been obtained. The registration booths will be open from 7a.m.to9p.m What to'do with deaf mutes who can neither read nor write was puzzling Acting Mayor Aloe. Some deaf mute interpreters will be needed to aid these men in registering. Aloe said that they ought to be accompanied to the regis- tration places either by relatives. or teachers. , M. E. Green, executive assistant to Aloe, said many more interpreters wil! be needed for registration day. Some of the interpreters who have volun- teered speak from five to 10 languages Dr. J. J. Houwink, Consul for Holland, who has volunteered, speaks five lan- guages. The city would also want the use of a large number of automobiles as the machines will be needed to carry in- terpreters and other registration of- ficials from one part of the city to another. Up to 11 a. m. today 400 registrars had been sworn in at the Election Commissioners’ office. City Register Witter said that 500 had registered at his office as absen- tees. These absentees are not. 8t: Louisans, but men from other places who are in St. Louis on business. T, R. ARRAIGNS “OBJECTORS” Says They Needn’t Shoot; He'd Put Them Where They’d Be Shot at. NEW YORK, May 2@.—Addressing a recruiting meeting last night, Col. The- odore Roosevelt arraigned the ‘‘conscien- tious objector,’’ saying that if he had his way he would instantly cut off his vote. “But that is only preliminary,’ add- ed the Colonel. ‘In the next place I would take him to the front anyway. If his conscience forbjds him to shoot I would rot interfere with his’: con- science.

Comptroller Nolte has prepared figures the city institutions have advanced in the last year. Ninety-two articles are listed in the comparative statement and in no case is there a decrease or even the maintenance of the same price. — Saverkraut, for example, which the city bought last year for $2.70 per barrei of 30 gallons, now costs $20 for the same amount, an increase of more than 640 per cent, Other articles, with their prices, and percentage of increase, are: Chicory—1916 price, 5% cents per pound; 1917 price, 18 cents per pound, an increase of 234 per cent. Graham Fiour—1!916 price, $3.5 per 100 pounds; 1917 price, $14 per 100 pounds, an increase of 330 per cent. Matches, 1916 price, $1.20 per gross of boxes; 1917 price, $4.80 per gross, an increase of 300 per cent. : Onions, 1916 price, $1.28% pe bushel; 1917 price, $3.25 per bushel, an increase of 153 per cent. Irish potatoes, 1916 price, 87 cents per bushel; 1917 price, $3.65 per bush- el, an increase of 204 per cent. Sweet potatoes, 1916 price, 80 cents per bushel; 1917 price, $3.25 per bush- el, an increase of 306. per cent. Milk, 1916 price, 19 cents per gal- lon; 1917 price, 22 cents a galion, an increase of 16 per cent. Bread, 1916 price, 3 cents a pound, 1917 price, 6 centg per pound, an in- erease of 100 per cent. Last year the total cost of the #2 sta- ples provided to the city institutions was $369,997. For this year $410,400 has been appropriated. Comptroller Nolte says this sum will only last about 10 months. The Comptroller had the comparative statement made to show the necessity ef economy in city expenditures.

TO° COORDINATE WORK Various Organizations Will Be Enrolled to Prevent Over- lapping of Activities: Missouri women met yesterday aiter- noon at the Public Library to form a Missouri Division of the Women’s (Com- mittee of the Council of National De- fense. Headquarters are to be opened ‘n the business district, in charge of a salaried director and assistant director. It is expected that all the rest of the work will be done by volunteers. The plan of organization as outlined by the Women’s Committee of the Coun- cil of National Defense links , together in working co-operation existing or- ganizations of women. The object is to co-ordinate wornen’s organizations and their working forces in order to enlist at once the greatest possible number in the service which the national crisis demands. Duplication and overlapping are,to be avoided. The suggested departments are: Finance, Registration for Service, Ilome Relief, Allied Relief, Production, Con- servation and Thrift, Educational Prop- aganda, Protection of Women Workers, Conservation of the Health and Welfare of Children, Medical Section, Courses of Instruction, Conservation of Morai and Spiritual Forces of the Nation. Penny Registration Fee. ‘It was decided to make the registration fee in Missouri ‘1 cent up,’ with 1 cent as the minimum, and the maximum de- termined by the liberality of the person who registers for service. Melville Committee of the Council of National Defense cautioned the women against suggesting that’ attempting too much, they would better do a few things and do them well. At his suggestion, Will- jam H. Lee, treasurer of the Men’s Com- mittee, was also elected treasurer of the Women’s Committee. Permanent organization was not com- plete yesterday because Mrs. Philip N. Moore, the temporary chairman, had taken pains to avoid a cut-and-driei! program and the 75 delegates were un- willing to choose a permanent chairman without more time. Organization will be perfected at an adjourned meeting to be held Friday at 2 p. m. at the same place Mrs. Moore was continued as tempo- { rary chairman until that time, and vice- chairmen to represent other parts of the state were named temporarily, subject to final action at Friday's meeting. Mra. Moore Tempvurary Chairman, Mrs. Harry January, Mrs. W. FE. Eischel and Mrs. Ben F. Gray Jr., the nominating committee, were unable to agree on a recommendation for perma- nent chairman and to avert a majority and minority report recommended the continuance of Mrs. Moore as temporary chairman. ._Later Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Fred D. Gardner, wife of the Governor, were elected honorary chairmen for the state. The vice-chairmen elected under the Mrs. John temporary organization were N. Booth, St. Louis; Mrs. W.

C., May 23.—Major- General Leonard Wood, now command- ing the Southeastern Department of the army, which émbraces all the Southern States except Virginia, West Vircinia, Texas and Oxlahoma, has received from the Southerners a welcome such as has not been accorded an officer of the United States Army since the Civil War. On his arrival in CWarleston, great crowds turned out to greet him, and Gov. Manning told him that if the men of the South go to France, as they want to. they want to go under Gen. Wood. More. than 20,000 people acclaimed Gen, Wood on his arrival in Charleston, and two days later a much larger neers wel- comed him to Atlanta. In his speech to the Chiehininbichand Gen. Wood said that the United States would probably have to train more tha-i 150,000 officers for its armies before the war in Europe could be brought to an end. Gen. Wood said that the people must be brought to’ realize that~ they were in for a long war, “a war,” he added, ‘that may last as long from to- day as our own Civil War lasted."’ *Back up the Government,” said Gen. Wood, “fill up the armies, and stop all waste. We are all facing a serious an.j a critical sjtuation. I do not think that there is any doubt ag to how the thine will eventually come out, but we have got a hard and a long contest befor us.”’ . “I believe that the time has come when we must speak no more of Irish - Americans, Italian - Americans. German-Americans and all other kinds of hyphenated Americans,’ Gen, Wood continued, and added, ‘“‘exeept simple, plain Americans. ‘“‘We must keep our pride of race for home and domestic consumption and our pride of nationality should be put into the country where we live.’’ Gen. Wood ridiculed the statement that “a million men in this country would: spring up overnight.” ‘Such taik is murder,’’ Gen. Wood de- clared. He added: “If we could pick up such an army and had arms to give them they would not know how to uge them. I feel confident that South Caro- linians would die for an ideal. But we are a stupid. and criminal lot if we do not. give them chance to fight ef- fectively and efficiently.’’ Shy itn Equipment, The ., eaker t called attention tv the standardization of caliber for this war for United States troops and told of how almost impossible it was ree} —eaee + ee el A — ene ets Bie wae —EoeoeEeEeEeEeE>EeEeEeEeEEEEeE>——EE—E es Gen.

AJOR-GEN ERAL LEUNARD WOOD, in an ~ address here on assuming command of the Southeastern Department of the army, recalied a conversation which took place while he was at- tending the maneuvers of the German army as the guest of the Kaiser several years ago. * “Emperor William said to me:” Gen. Wood said, “in the course of our conversation: “*How are my German getting along in America” “I asked him if he wished me to answer him diplomatically or to give my personal opinion. “With a directness that could hardly be matched by any man’ than Mr. Roosevelt,” | Wood continued, “the Emperor e —_—— one ee ee OO people - DIF Se eer eee a i a in plied: “ "Why, tell me the truth.* “‘l believe, sir, that they are among the most dependable of our new citizens,” I replied. “‘Do you mean to say that théy have forgotten their Fatherland? the Kaiser interrogated. “ ‘No, sir, I replied, the General added, and then told him: “ ‘They have not forgotten the Fatherland, but they look back on {ft as we ) of English and of other descent, | all of whom have taken the oath | of allegiance to the United States, look back upon their works, their , accomplishments and their deeds, | and view with pride their achieve- ) ments.’ “‘If they have taken the oath , Oi a ee ee eS eee —————— meneame Yous — — —_— er, ee ee ee ‘? of allegiance, they must be " good , citizens,’ "’ the Emperor replied. munition makers in this country to put out supplies for the allies.

Few big guns were built for the forces in Europe until recently, he added, an:j to date not a single one has been made for “our own army.”’ He emphasized the fact that the smallest number of calibers should be used and told why the English rifle should be adopted for this army om ac- count of using some gun that either England or France is using. This ia necessary, he declared, so that when American troops are on the firing line that ammunition made for Bnrglish troops may also be used “by them. ‘Let us get ready,” added Gen.

Railways of the United States, the report says, were forced to spend §104,- 791,00 more in operating expenses and taxes to handle $79,000,000 more traffic during the first quarter of 1917 In com- parison with the same months of 1916, Net operating income remaining after taxes, in spite of the addition to grogs revenues, fell $25,971,000 under a youn, ago. The increased expenses are due . tw higher taxes, increased cost of ma- teriale and higher wages, the last due principally to the Adamson law. 4 French Soctaliats for. Stockholm.

The Women's Central Committee on Food Conservation has decided to open, jin co-operation with the Third street } commission men, a cannery at 806 North waste products of Commission Row wil. be canned for winter consumption. Use of the four-story building has been donated by McAdaris Estate. The Women's Committee will finance the undertaking, making the necessary re- pairs and furnishing the machinery and equipment of a model Cannery. The cannery proper will be installed on the second floor, the first floor being used as a receiving and storage room, and the third and fourth floors as a drying department and for the storage of the canned products. Commission men each day will deliver after market hours their surplus stock to the cannery, where it will be sorted, culled and canned according to the latest and most approved methods, under the supervision of experts from the Home Economics department of the State Uni- versity. Women employed at the can- nery will be paid for their labor partly in raw material and partly in the can- néd goods they have helped to put up, thus reducing largely the capital re- quired for the financing of the under- taking, the amount of the wage being figured according to the cost of the fin- ished product. The number of women who have al- ready applied for work in the co-opera- tive canery has been sufficient to’ assure ine success of the undertaking from the standpoint of labor. . Several women from Neighborhood House and of King: dom House asked that they might be placed at work there at the earliest op- portunity. Fifty thousand glass jars have been contracted for tmmediute de- livery. Mrs. Clarence Beck and Mrs. Fabianson Carlander have bean ap pointed managers of the.cannery. Others Who Have Signed Up St. Louis housewives are sigoing up by the hundreds for the three-course. dinner program launched by the Wom- en’s Central Committee on Food Con- servation. Mrs. Fred D. Gardner, wife of the Governor, was among the first to re- turn the signed enlistment card sent out last week by the committee, pledg- ing herself to the plan of food husband- ing by promising to observe the follow- ing conditions: There shall not be served, even when guests are present, more than three courses at any meal. All waste in the kitchen shali be elim- inated. ° There shall be one ieuiattode day each week. The consumption of food shall be lim- ited in every reasonable way. That these restrictions shall hold good during the duration of the war. Mrs. Gardner’s enlistment blank, duly signed and sealed, was returned last Thursday. Her enlistment does not mean that the gubernatorial table sha! be deprived of luxuries, but that, while the war lasts, she déngages herself to prevent any undue waste. Altogether some 800 women from ali walks of life have signed up for the fight against waste on their tables and | in their kitchens. Others Who Have Signed Up. Among the number are: Mesdames Moses N. Sale, J. B. Nichols, William Bray, T. P. Conant, Thomas B.. Harlan, lf. J. Pettingill, John lL. McDowall, If~renzo E. Anderson, Vol C. Turner, Richard Morey, A. Séligstein, P: J.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 7-_—_—-_oorr oan" MONKS IN RUSSIA MAKE DEMAND FOR THE BALLOT TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 29, 1917. EN ae — RT most famous monastery, Troitsa-Lavre, near Moscow, which withstood sieges by Polish armies in the seventeenth cen- tury, made bonfires last week of re- actionary pamphlets in the tnonastery courtyard. One report says the monks danced around the flames. The father superior of the Moscow Monastery of the ‘Passion has condemned: all auto- cratist propaganda literature and has forbidden its use, even for the wrapping of parcels. Still greater revolutionary enthusiasm has been displayed in Kiev’s celebrated Pestchera monastery, in the catacombs of which repose the bones of hundreds of saints of the church. Burn Anti-Liberal CLiteratere and Hold Revolutionary Demonstra- tlons at Monasteries. PETROGRAD, May 2%.-—The inmates of the Russian monasteries, in an ex- ces of revolutionary zeal, are demand- ing equal political rights with the lay population, including the ballot. In order to prove their fitness for citi- zenship, the monks have destroyed their stores of anti-Liberal literature.

S. WILL RELIEVE STRESS Tokio Official Expresses Hope That America Will Join in Advance to China. TOKIO, May %®.—The heavy move- ment of gold from the United States to Japan was explained today by Kazue Shoda. Minister of Finance, as being due principally to the fact that the !n- debtedness of Great Britain and France to Japan is being paid partly through America. Shoda revealed that Japan is nego- tiating with Great Britain and France with the purpose of making war loans to them, while private Japanese con- cerns, including the specie and indus- trial banks, are planning the purchase of British and French securities held in the United States. These operations will reduce the outflow of American gold and relieve the burden of Japan's accumulating supplies. Shoda emphasized the fact thaf the trade balance was not an exaét guaxe of the situation, pointing out that Japan now has’a yearly income of 300,000,009) yen ($150,000,000) from abroad in the form of ocean freights, insurance an: remittances from Japanese in other countries. He also called attention tu the fdct that British discount restric- tions made necessary the sending of specie to India in settlement of the im- portation yearly of cotton to the valite of 200,000,000 yen. Japan's specie holdings are increasing at the rate of about 67,000,000 yen month- ly, M. Shoda estimated, the present total being about 838,000,000 ($419,500,000). Only 15,000,000 yen gold has been imported from America since Jan. 1, he said. The loans to be madé to Great Britain and France will give important aid to the entente, in the opinion of Shoda. He was hopeful that Japan's proposal to the United States to join in the Chinese loan group and her suggestion that American capitalists co~operate with Japan in China would be adopted. “The Government is convinced,’’ he said, ‘‘that the mutual interests of Ja- pan and the United States would be served by co-operation in China which relations and permit of adjustments in times of crisis.’’ FINAL MEETING CALLED ON REGISTRATION DAY PARADE Session Friday Night at Mercantile Club; Many Socicties Ask for Piaces in the Line. A final meeting, to decide the details of the parade and other patriotic cere- monies planned for registration day, next Tuesday, will be held Friday night at the Mercantile Club. All representa- tives of organizations or units which will take part in the parade have been invited to attend the meeting. Slavic, Polish and Bohemian “«ocieties will parade, their officers have an- r.oounced, if the holiday extends to the manufactories where many of them are employed. A. J. Cejka, head of the as- sociated Slavic societies, has asked the National Security League committee, in charge of the parade, to endeavor to get permission for the men to leave their employment long enough -to take part in the parade. A number of Chinese, who have been drilling in the hope of being permittéd to enter some branch of the army. have asked permission to march in the pa- rade. ; The Chamber of Commerce is consid- ering a plan to march in a body. High school military training corps, now in uniform, will form a division. Brigadier-General E. J. Spencer, grand marshal of the parade, expects to an- nounce detailed plans for the parade Thursday. -: He said today that he be- lieved the number in line would he Jarge- ly in excess of that in the preparedness parade of June 3, 1916. Cheekers count- ed 27,412 at that time, and the line was two hours and 55 minutes in passing. The route of the march will probably be the same as that of last year's pa- rade, namely out Locust street and Lin- dell boulevard from Twelfth street to Vandeventer avenue.

ERMAN HOPE 13 TO SMASH FRANCE, ‘BEFORE WE GO IN Chicago Tribune Writer Says That This Is Teutonic Plan to Win the War. ‘GREAT DRIVE EXPECTED Fresh Army of 1,000,000 or More Reported to Be Ready for Von Hindenburg. CHICAGO, May 2%.—Arthur Sears Hennings, in today’s Chicago Tribune, in a dispatch from Washington says: “Smash France before the States gets in. “This is Germany’s chief hope of vic- tory, and it is the policy on which the German Government is concentrating all its energies. A revelation of the power of Germany to carry out this program is expected within the next six weeks. “The situation is viewed as desperate by many American army officers. he Allies are weakened and war weary and waiting for the United States to come in and give Germany the coup de grace. ‘But the United States will not get ti effectually until next year. The Govern- ment does not contemplate sending more than 100,000 men before snow flies. Sv with the submarines on the sea and Hin- denburg on the land, Germany has near- ly a year in which to carry out her of- fort to wrest victory from impending defeat. U. S&S. Has Startling Facts. “The American Government has come into possession of a vast amount of startling information concerning the war situation in which the United States is involved, but the contents of this dis- patch are all that I am at liberty to present in print under the terms of vol- untary censorship. “The administration has learned that Germany has:a new army of between 1,000,000 and 1,500,000 men who never have been in the trenches, but have been under intensive training for severa) months. These fighters were released from the factories by the industrial re- organization resulting from the German man-power legislation and by the labor of the Belgian workmen deported to Germany.» ; “The American miktary authorities believe that Von Hindenburg, reinforced by this fresh army, is about to launch a terrific onslaught on the western front. United Stripping Eastern Front. The Germans are stripping the east- ern front of their crack fighting or- ganizations for the further rein- forcement of Hindenburg in this drive. It now appears that the re- ports of a German movement against Russia and a German drive on Pe- trograd originated in Berlin and were put forth to deceive the allies as to the true objective of the German pro- gram. “Russia, torn with revolution and anarchy, is out of commission in a military sense. Russia evinces a dis- position to let Germany alone if Ger- many will let h.r alone. Russia is furnishing some food to Germany and may furnish more. The situation is as acceptable to Germany as would be a separte peace with Russia. Ger- many is free to turn with full furce on her western foes. “It is known that Germany expect- ed the United States to enter the war with the resumption of the ruthless submarine warfare and planned then to strike a mortal blow at France before America could come to the rescue. British Stopped Hindenburg. “But the British struck Hindenburg before he could prepare his onslaught. He was compelled to retire. “Now, however, the allied offensive appears to have spent itself and American military authorities are beginning to see signs of the matur- ing Hindenburg plan. The great German General] is striking here and there, feeling out the strength of the allied resistance. It is estimated that it will take Hindenburg from three to six weeks to prepare fully for the great offensive. “France is exhausted in man power and, moreover, is withdrawing sev- eral hundred thousand men from the trenches to revive ship building and extend factory work. The Brit- ish began diverting men from the army to the factories almost as soon as the United States entered.” Busy Bee Bake Shops This Week. Fleur-de-Lis Coffee Cake, l5c. RUSH IN U. S. ENGRAVING PLANT It Is in Operation Day and Night, With 1200 Extra Employes. WASHINGTON, May 2.—The Liberty Loan and other war finance measures compel the Bureau of Engraving and Printing these days to work 24 hours a day and employ 1200 extra workmen and clerks to produce the 2,700,000 impres- sions which now are turned out daily. Director Ralph estimated today that the bureayp thie year would make 3,- 000,000,000. rrotes and certificates of vari- ous kinds, compared with 5,000,000,000 last year. Heavy additional] weight is created by the Liberty Loan bonds, 3,000,000 of which have already been printed; certificates of indebtedness ad interim, war tax stamps, extra postage stamps required by the prospective in- crease in letter rates to 3 cents, army officers’ commissions, postal savings certificates and Federal reserve bank notes. $12 Reund Trip te Chicage Via Chicago & Alton.

Committee Wanted by Women Preo- bably Would Be Created, It Is Said, If Sentinels Were Removed. WASHINGTON, May 2.—Chairman Pou of the House Committee on Rules said today the chances would be good for a woman suffrage committee in tho House of Representatives if the women would take their pickets away trom th» White House and the Capitol. “If the pickets were removed,’’ he said, “I think I could get authority from the Rules Committee to report favorably the resolution creating a commitice. -he members do not approve of the pickets.” Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Woman Suf- frage Association, has sent an open let- ter to Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the National Woman's Party, calling upon her, in the interests of the suffrage cause, to remove the pickets. The na-| tional association always has been op- posed to the picketing, which is carried on by the National Woman's Party, for - merly called the Congressional Union. and which is separate from th: national association.

If you are.one of the few who try to make the most of your hair, remember that it is not ad visable to wash the hair with any cleanser made for all purposes, but always use some good preparation made expressiy for shampooing. You can- enjoy the very best by getting some cantbrox from your druggist, Gissolve a teaspoonful in a enp of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liqvid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. Dandruf?, excess oil, and dirt are: dissolved an entirely disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy that it will look much heavier than it is. Its luster and softness will also delight you, while the stimulated scalp gains the health which insures hair growth.—ADV.

The round was only a minute and 16 seconds old when the champion’'s end came. The end came at a seemed to have Leonard entirely baffied. The longer the fight progressed the chance there seemed to be for Leonard to land a finishing blow.

Our inform- ant’s view of the situation is this: “At least part of the opposition to the Western Association's atymie rule is due to its wording. A little different phrasing might have enlisted a lot of support from persons who see technical objections to the rule, as it star. ds. “This states specifically: ‘When both balls are on the putting green, the ball nearest the hole must be played first.’ The mis- take in the wording of this con- sists in that it contains aw provi- sion for conditions under which the balls are on OPPOSITE sides of the cup. The rule should con- tain the phrase: ‘only when both balla are on the same side of the cup.’ “Here's how the rile might work as it stands now: If A pitches closer to the hole than B, and B is on the green jin three while his opponent has a four, A is unjustly required to play his ball FIRST merely because of his lie. Every player would prefer to .have his rival play first and reserve for himself the edge of shooting last. The balls may be in such positions that a stymie would be absolutely impossible; but it would be a violation of the letter of the law and involve a penalty of a hole in match play, or- two strokes in medal play, to play the nearest ball last.” It’s all right. Bo. No doubt it's tough luck. But to us golf pa- gans on the outside of ‘the know,’ it would appear that whether you win before or after the other fel- low has had his last gasp, doesn’t make a world of difference.

I am going to be very con- servative in my estimate of the new ex- plosive which resulted from this acci- dent.

JOSEPH PULITZER. > | “GERMANY’S EXISTENCE.” The acid test of the German Government's claim that Germany is fighting for existence ig found in Germany's attitude towards peace. There has been much talk in Germany about peace and the German Chancellor has proposed peace parleys, but there has never yet been an authoritative intimation that the German Gov- erhmment would accept peace on terms which guaranteed the continued existence of Germany. The German Chancellor has persistently re fused to state or even hint the terms upon which Germany would make peace. There is an ele- ment in Germany, submerged and powerless po- litically, which suggests peace without annexe- tions, but the dominant, ruling element insists upon victory with indemnity and expansion. These elements, close to the throne and consti- tuting the backbone of German imperialism, in- sist that Germany fight to complete victory and use her victory to gain expansion of territory, increase of political domination and greater fight- ing power for further victories. Pan-Germanism is.in the governmental saddle and there is reason to believe it has the enthusi- astic support of German rulers. The defense offered for this is the ingenious plea that Ger- many’s existence depends upon her expansion 2nd her continued growth in territory, power and fighting strength. In short, in order to extst, Germany must expand at the expense of other peoples and dominate the world. This is an admirable tonic for home consump- tion and for the promotion of imperialistic pride and ambition, but it is poison for the remainder SSS Post-Dispatch Average circulation entire year 1916 Sunday, 356,193 Daily, 204,201 ‘tw The POST-DISPATCH sells more papers in St. Louis and Sub- urbs every day in the year than there are homes in the city.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. - As necessity is the mother of inventions so also has the present situation brought forth a great many new ideas, not to mention schemes to con- serve the food supply. Mr. Griffith of the Chi- cago Board of Trade stated that there were more people volunteering to regulate food prices than there were volunteering in the army. Food con- servation has reached a hysteria which is full of dangerous possibilities, which may terminate ser- fously. Agitators are urging people to atLandon the use of pure wheat bread, such as we are now using; and substitute bran bread and whole wheat bread and enterprising manufacturers are seizing this opportunity to place on the market small wheat grinding machines for family use so that the housewife will buy wheat instead of flour in future and will grind the wheat into whole wheat flour and thus save the manufacturing cost, etc. Mr. Hoover, our official food regulator to be, sounds a special warning regarding whole wheat and bran bread. He stated that in Belgium the whole wheat bread was tried out, but immediately discontinued as the death rate increased alarm- ingly. And ‘this is easily understood when we consider that bran and wheat bread are recom- mended as laxatives and hence must he harmful when substituted for food to be eaten three time a day. The public health demands that we continue our mode of living as hitherto and await the advise of some competent Government official like Mr. H-over, or whoever our President may designate fo> the important duty, and not take it upon our- selves to introduce any pernicious food conserva- tions innovations. Yours very truly, E. M. FRAMEY. . * ‘For a Choate Memorial. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The undersigned blind women of the New York Association for the Blind have asked me to act as @ memorial for our beloved president, Joseph H. Choate. We all feel that Mr. Choate’s death is a personal loss to each of us for he was truly vitally interested in helping to bring light through work to the blind. The first time that Mr. Choate came to the Lighthouse it was my privilege to take dictation from him. He was then solving for us a very weighty problem and the letter was an important one. After the letter was finished Mr. Choate looked at the yards of dots and said in a puzzled way, “What will you do with it now?’ “Wait and see,” was the reply. I read the letter back and when I stopped Mr. Choate came over and gave me ® couple of approving pats. I have treasured these pats always. That was really the beginning of his interest in us, It was a privilege to have known him, as we a}! did here in the Lighthouse. The Blind Women's Club has voted $10 towards the memorial and the undersigned have each subscribed 50 cents for the fund. Sincerely yours, MARY E. KEATON, For M.

In behalf of that system’of law which I have followed and practiced for more than 20 years, I must protest against the charge brought against it by Associate City Counselor Griffin in his letter eoncerning the relative rights of chickens and backyard gardeners. It may be true, as Griffin asserts. that we have no ordinances or statutes prohibiting chickens from running at large; but what of that? Has he never heard of that ancient maxim of the law. “Ubi jus ibi remedium?" Has he entirely forgot- ten the law of self-defense’? Did he never read in Blackstone that self-preservation ts the first law ef nature? Does he not remember that old So- “When its a chicken not a~- chicken”’ “When ft becomes a nuisance”. And have we no jaw Sgainst nuisances? Must a chicken te a)- lowed to wander over into the neighbor's back yard, sit down in his onion bed and scratch and scratch. ad libitum, ad damnum and ad infinitum? Does he think that our learned chancellors would sit idle Anewer: fellow citizens to defeat the Kaiser were being ruthlessly ruined by the predatory chicken? gy JOHN F. GREEN. rs ‘Phe Platinum Wedding Ring. Frem Woman's Home Companion. of the plain gold circiet, there is the plat- of diamonds for its setting. Other a- tions are silent on the best method of repulsing 'to do, he says, is to give up all the territory they call attention to the readiness of hostile and secret willing to withhold information that would be of of the world. When it is backed by ruthless as- sault on all the world in opposition and by bar+ ’baric attacks on the foundations of civilizaticn, the only possibility of relief from devastation ‘ind security from worse assaults is to smash the mil- itary power of the German Government and thus render it helpless. When the German autocracy has been deaten and the German people take over the task of gov- ernment there will be a guarantee of just and en- during peace. Within a month after the German people contro! their Government, fair peace will be assured. Instead of trying to bolster the German im- perialists by attempts to paralyze our will and aims in the war and undermine our efforts to win for democracy, the German sympathizers in this country would do better to laber unceasingly. for the democratization of Germany. The organiza- tion by German-Americans in New York of a society to work for a German republic is a huje ful sign of sanity among our friends of German origin. As Americans, this is the best. service they can render their former country, and their present country, and is the one sure road to peace. = = — ee PIONEERS IN NEW WARFABE. The American Expeditionary forces under Gen. Pershing will show a distinct profit, apart from the sentimental and moral] effect its presence in the fleld will have on friend and foe. When this division takes its place in the trenches, the men will learn the new trade of war. High explosives and concrete trenches have rendered useless many of the old text-books. Our division is going to Flanders as to a norma! school. Out of this first division we should have 20,000 teachers who will take the men of our new army in hand some- where back of the lines and teach them the things the pioneers learned under the arc of heavy shells. All of our soldiers of all grades are going to learn a new science. Our Field Service Regula- a gas attack.

Capt. Richard Hobson, whose specialty for sonie years has been warnings of various sorts, sounds a new alarm on danger to the allied cause in France. The Germans are fooling ’em, he asserts. They have gathered a great force, in part made up of withdrawals from the Russian line. Pres- ently the allies, if they persist in going forward despite Hobson’s warnings, will find themselves trapped and overpowered. However, he does not present his diagnosis without indicating safe- guards and remedies. The thing for the allies have won at great sacrifice since last July, go back to their old lines, dig if again and wait till the gathering storm is over. But why is the essential element and active principle of safety to be found in the line of last June alone? If the allies are only walkin; farther into a trap every time they go ahead, why not give up also the territory won under the Joffre nibbling policy? Indeed, if the allies are to go into the business of retreating with vic- tory, why not make safety doubly sure by going back to the line of the Marne? Is the same sort of a trap closing slowly ani inexorably around Italy, too, which, as the war commentators have repeatedly pointed out, is the only entente nation fighting wholly on the soi! of the enemy? Must Italy retreat to a victory south of the Austrian boundary? | = = - —- HOW RUMOR MONGERS WORK. | mors widely circulated that American ships had | been lost in a naval battle. The denial serves to influences in our own country to do all they can to embarrass the administration in its conduct of the war. The public should not be deceived as to the scope of the voluntary censorship American news- papers have imposed upon themselves. They are military value to the enemy, but neither they nor the governing authorities have so little confidence in the steadfastness of the people that they wil! deliberately suppress information as to the re- sults of battles. een gold artistically engraved. : | sent from Nippon to Russia should almost elin.- inate insomnia in California. “Sweet and seemly it is to die for one’s country,” is being called into service wherever men are being exhorted to take up arms for the honor of América. too, for the rest of that immortal song is ad- dressed to them. Perhaps it is worth repeating: Secretary Daniels has taken pains to deny Pa his skin for the while, but he has disappeared from the earth and the only remembrance of him that remains is that his cowardice inspired these im- morta! lines. sufferers of Illinois by the Red Cross shows that even @ vast war cannot impair the efficiency of est kind of reports reach every newspaper office. Where there is any probability of truth in them they are quickly investigated, but not one out of a thousand has any basis in fact. Generally speaking, the public may rely upon the press to give the first and most accurate ac- count of news of importance. For if the news- papers are dealing fairly with the Government, the Government is also dealing fairly with the newspapers. REASONABLE CENSORSHIP. Of the 20 censorship rules suggested for the guidance of the press during the war, 12 relate to military orders.and the movements and operations of the army and navy before the object is gained. One touches threats and plots against the life of the President on the ground that they tend to influence weak and hysterical persons to commit criminal acts. ” Secret police activities which might be handi- capped by publicity, the movements of alien labor, which might cause disorders, are taboo. Information concerning the fixed defenses of the country is to be withheld with news of the movements of merchant ships, their ports of entry and departure, which might supply information for hostile submarine operations. There cannot be objection to the suppression of information of this kind, the publication of which would aid the enemy and might lead to the frus- trating of military. plans or the destruction of our defenses or forces. Nor would there be objec- tion to rigid restraints on the publieation of such information and penalties for violating the reg- ulations. Objection lies to the suppression of information of military operations after the event, whether they fail or succeed; the suppression of n2ws of blunders or corrupt practices and the suppres- sion of criticism and opinion concerning policies not bearing on immediategoperations. Neither the Government nor army officials, from the highest to the lowest, can be exempt from criticism for bad judgment, incompetence or wrongdoing. Opinion must and will be free. The people must be taken into the confidence of the Government without danger to the safety of the country or its forces. whenever it is possible ip.

During the two years ending Oct. 31, 1916, the total-amount contributed by the people of the United States towards relief of the Belgian war sufferers was $8,747,138. This represents the re- sponse of 100,000,000 poople to the heart-rending appeals made for sufferers in the country about which most was known. In about the same period of time the 3,000000 persons of Jewish origin in America raised and distributed a total of $8,200,000 for Jewish war sufferers in Europe and Asia. The story of the raising of this great fund is told in a pamphiet, “American Jews and the War,’ by John W. Schmidt’ and Cromwell Childe, two non-Jewish New York newspaper men, and is well worth reading. It will be remembered that, so great, was the suffering among the Jews of the warring coun- tries, due to war conditions and persecution, that President Wilson proclaimed Jan. 27, 1916, as a special] day for the collection of contributions to aid the destitute people driven from their homes and in thousands of cases actually starving About $100,000 was collected on that day. The $8,200,000 collected by the Jewish relief organizations, from their own people, include the large gifts of the wealthy and the dimes and nickels of the drudging sweat-shop worker. All classes have responded with a generosity that has again shown the warm-hearted, sympathetic quality in the Hebrew character. The Jews of America, however, are not satis- fied with this record. The work of raising a new fund of $10,000,000 is under way. About half of this amount is already pledged. The tragedy to be met is colossal, but is developing a. spirit which is inspiring to others. = = = ~~ a _ The presence of the Japanese fleet in Eurorean waters and the prospect of a large army being a a ° i i HORACE ON SLACKERS. Once more the famous. old saying of Horace, Probably there were slackers in Horace's time, Sweet and seemly it is to die for one’s country. Yet death overtakes none the less the runaway, nor spares the limbs cnd coward backs of faint-hearted youths. True worth, that never knows ignoble le- feat, shines with undimned glory, nor takes up nor lays aside the axes at the fickle mob’s behest. True worth, opening heaven wide for those deserving not to die, takes its course by a path denied to others and spurns the vulgar crowd and damp earth on fleeting pinion.

Now, I don't say that the who lives ‘in a New York flat ieee pee eggs to preserve in water glass, for she would have no place to keep them. But every housewife in the sub- urbs who has the space to store them should buy her eggs for the winter now. Eggs are # cents a dozen, to be sure, twice as much as last year, but just imagine what they will be selling for next winter. Eggs should be candled before they are placed in water glass.”’ Here Mr. Goudiss explained the egg preserving process in great detail, but as this seemed impracticable for the New York City dweller, I asked him to make some general suggestions for food economy. 1 UY less meat and buy the cuts Which supply the most for the money, the round of beef, the shoulder of mutton,”’ the food expert ad- vises. ‘“‘Learn to eat sugstitutes for meat occasionally. Rice and baked beans supply exactly the same kind of nour- ishment as meat and potatoes, Serve rice with fish—with herring for instance, which is 8 cents a pound. Serve baked or fried bananas as a cheap vegetable. Bananas in their jackets are baked ex- actly like potatoes, but not so long, and are dusted with a little powdered sugar if preferred sweetened. Unsweetened baked apples or fried, broiled or roasted apples are excellent, eaten as a veg- etable. “Americans have been in the habit of throwing away beet, radish and carrot tops. These make excellent greens. Not an inch of any vegetable shou'd be thrown away. Portions too nard to serve should be minced or shredded and put in the soup stock. In serving onions nearly all the flavor is lost if they are boiled, while the best way to usc onions for flavoring is to mince them very fine and allow to cook in butter or fat for a few moments. EVEN MILLION DOLLARS a year S is wasted in-this country in bread alone,” Mr. Goudiss added. “‘No par- ticle of bread should be thrown out. Stale bread should be dried and pounded into crumbs, which can be used for breading —or should be made into toasted squares for soups or used for puddings. Whole loaves of. bread that have become stale should have one end sliced off, the in- terior hollowed out and dried for crumbs. Then the hollow loaf should be filled with any mixture of vegetables or fish and the end slice put back and the loa: heated in the oven for a few minutes, If the bread is very dry, a little water, milk, strained soup or sauce can be poured. over it.

Writing in the Woman Voter, Ruth Litt, in an article en- titled “The Woman Farmer and Farming,” gives an interesting ac- count of her experiences in this field, and of the opening which she believes it offers to women for a splendid work. According to her, many wom- en in the Eastern States are conduct- ing poultry or squab farms, or are specializing in raising certain varie- ties of early vegetables and small fruits, while, in the Western States, many others are managing farms and ranches on a large scale. “Farming has always appealed to me-as a vocation for women,” writes Mrs. Litt, in part, “and I mean for the woman who must earn her way, as well as for the woman with an in- come who goes into farming as an investment. Note that I Bay ‘a voca- tion’ for women, not an amusement, for farming, like everything else worth while, demands good, hard, honest effort. In spite of much good- humored raillery and some criticism from my friends, I have backed my belief by running a farm on practical. lines. I have been amply repaid, and have demonstrated the worth of my attempt, Because I so strongly be- lieve that farm life offers a field of occupation for women, I give, here a little of my own experience. “My farming experience has been that of the woman with an income to whom the initial investment was not a hardship. I have had my farm for i2 years, and, in the early -days, I did much of the superintending and some Of the actual work myself, as it was difficult to find a superintendent who quite fitted in with my views. We always fell out over the propos!- tion that it was the farm that,was to be superintended and not the owner. ' heavy hauling and planting. I took care of the greenhouses, started all the seeds, propagated the plants for the flower garden and planted a good part of them myself. I also raised vegetables for table use-in the green- houses, so my knowledge is practical, not theory or ‘book learning,’:as one of my men put it. ‘During the starting period, I would have given much to have been able to secure a good, practical, sensible woman to carry out my ideas, The difficulty with most men is that they scorn the little detils which, to my mind, are so essential to perfec- tion in every line of work. “We have about 30 acres under cultivation, and this includes hay and corn land for the stock, and vege- table gardens of perhaps two acres, | producing all varieties f vegetables except cauliflowers, which we can- not raise because We are too near the salt water. Our specialties are as- paragus, potatoes, small fruits, such and blackberries, apples, peaches and grapes. We raise under glass all the fresh vegetables we can possibly use for the table during the winter. A part of our products is preserved as jellies and,jams and as canned vege- tables. “We handle our plant on a practical basis—just two good cows, two farm horses and a small flock of chickens. We must have just so much return for time and money expended. If the bal- ance at the end of the month is not just what ff should be, we look for the cause and remove it by changing our rlans or. by doing away with whatever necessitates extra expense or labor. “Now a word about the woman with- out the income, and her chance in farm work. Her opportunity comes by first acquiring knowledge and some experi- ence at one of our free agricultural col- leges, or by practical work on a farm or estate, ‘under a competent gardener, The latter method commends itself, to my way of thinking. Then, having ob- tained her training, she may begin by securing a position on some large farm, adding to her knowledge and progress until she is fitted for the management and practical handling of one of the for efficient, economical help. The sa}- ary from such a position is ample, a good house with modern comforts is provided, with heat, light, running wa- ter; the garden supplies the table, leay- ing only the staples to be purchased. Prudent savings from the income will, in due course of time, enable the wom- her own on 4 modemate scale Two or three men did the plowing, | 7 itt, with the recommendation that many large plants that are crying out |’ “Besides opening a new avenue of work for women, I believe one of the great questions of the day is getting ee “hey $9 the youth of our country interested in ; * practical farming. The constant com- . plaint is the dearth of farm labor, and ! = O 1 ; of the poor quality of the work of a large percentage of farm laborers. I believe one remedy for this condition is . the establishment, in every rural school of an agricultural course, which should be just as much a part of the cur- riculum as history or mathematics.’’ Mrs. Litt is much tnterested in tho boys and girls who atterld the district school in her neighborhood, and writes regretfully of their cleck-watching pro- pensities, their eagernéss to leave school and go to work in@hops and factories, in cities or towns. “Perhaps it is. not so much a desire for the work itself as a chance to get tinues. ‘In the school, and in every GOOD HO USEKEEP|NG BUREA SANITATION SF FOODS out of the dull round of lessons which OR.H : AnvEY W.witey ON AND HEALTH schsol like it.

There need be no trouble in procuring a suitable piece of iand, end.a resourceful teacher who knew his or her subject could make the instruc- tion so interesting that the children would find it worth while to remain until their sixteenth year and would gra:iuate with some practical knowledge of the dignity ard worth of agriculturai work. The result of such a system would be to bring gradually under cul- tivation a’l our waste land. “It is only a question of securing the co-operation of the parents and the children; the result is obvious. My suff- rage work has brought me into close contact with the home problems of the large foreign group in my community. Racially they are an agricultural peo- ple, but without training in systematic methods. Consequently, they do not get out of their garden patches, when they cultivate them, results equal to the la- bor expended. They do not understand how to utilize a back yard. Every rural community has just such groups and they are here to stay,” concludes Mrs. these people be helped to do well tie work to which they are naturally in- clined, through the agricultural courses she so strongly advocates for their children. She states her conviction that “when these parents see results, they will be ready to accept the practical] les. sons along by those whose interest has been passed aroused and stimulated and who ars ‘clock watchers’ no more.” Even Break.

Suitore came from far and near to ask for her hand: there were Princes and Kinge: but none of them would the Princess marry. At the end of the castle grounds stood the gardener's cabin, and there lived the gardener's son, too, and to him had the Princess given her love, all unknown to the King or Queen. The gardener’s son was a handsome lad, and. had loved the Princess when she was a little girl. and they had played together in the castle gardens. When the King and Queen learned of their daughter's love for the boy of low- ly birth they would not listen to her but told her she was to marry a hus- band worthy of a Princess: and as for the gardener’s son, they ordered that he be made a prisoner in a tower of the castie until the Princess had married and gone away to a castle of her own to live. : ; Of course, the Queen long before had forgotten ail about the fairy or the Moon Mother, and even when she did remembered she was sure she had dreamed it all, so no thought of the Princess being taken from her entered her mind.

Come!’’ “The Princess followed the fairy straight up to the Moon Lady’s throne. “T am your mother, child,”” said the Moon Lady, ‘‘and you are unhappy. Tell me what is making you so sad.” “My lover has been taken from me!’’ cried the Princess, ‘and I cannot hve wifhout him!

You shall go to your lover, and if he is willing to change his form for love of you, vou shall have your lover every time I take my place in the sky.”’ The Princess agreed, and on a moon- beam path she visited her lover in the tower, who gladly consented to become anything so long as he could have her with him part of the time.
