Re- cruiting week for the regular afmy will close Saturday evening, and at the same time the recruiting of the Fifth Mis- souri and other volunteer regiments will end. The work has been designated as regular army recruiting work by President Wilson and the President has issued a proclamation calling on men from 18 to 40 to join the regular army. The enlistment is for the period of the war only, the same length of service es in the militia or of the mational (drafted) army and not for seven years, as was the case before War was declared. Beginning next Monday, those who have not enlisted will be subject to the selective draft. If a man offers himself for enlistment in the National Guard after that time, he may be accepted con- ditionally, but if he is drafted, he wil! be taken from the National Guard and put into training with the new National Army. — t Cc }Fifth Regiment today in a telegram from Brigadier-General Clark, com- manding the National Guard of Mis souri.

BUDIES OF MAN AND WOMAN FOUND IN HOTEL He Is Believed to Have Been Naval Officer; Died of Epi- lepsy; She Shot Self. PHILADELPHIA, June %.—The bodies of a man and a woman were fouhd last night in a room at the Bellevue-Strat- ford. It is believed the man was a naval! officer. He had died of epilepsy. The woman had shot herself with her 's- revolver, it seems, after trying to revive him. The pair arrived Ti. They registered as Mr. and Mrs. Fred- erick Alexander. The body of the girl lay on a couch. She had shot herself with a United States service pistol. The New York police believe she was Miss Louise Jones of that city. A note, evidently written by the girl, just before she killed herself, was found by the police. It read: “Notify Lieut. R. Colton, United States cable ship Joseph Henry, Nor- folk."’ A gold wedding ring, uninscribed, was on the girl's finger. The police believe the couple were married Saturday or were to have been married today. Miss Louise Jones, the New York po- lice reported, left her rooming house Saturday. She said she was going to marry F. J. Alexander and that they would spend their honeymoon in Phila- delphia. They were last seen alive at £ a. m. yesterday at the Bellevue-Strat- ford. Hotel attaches forced the door of théir suite after they had failed to answer repeated knocks. “THE MORE ENEMIES, THE MORE HONOR,” GEN. VON BLUME SAYS War Will Be Decided Before an In- crease of Present Forces Can Be Developed, He Predicts. AMSTERDAM, June 25.—The German Gazette publishes a review of the mili- tary situation, in which Gen. von Blume writes: | “With head erect and gaze full of con- tempt, we come to a consideration of the rations which since the beginning of the year have joined our enemies, the United States in the forefront of them. The more enemies, the more honor.“ Gen. von Blume declares the increased powers of Germany's enemies is not such as to evoke anxiety and he argues that the war will be decided before an in- crease in present forces of the enemies can be developed.

WASHINGTON, June 2%.—The Comp- banks at RED CROSS TOTAL TO NOON TODAY S $1,914,001.92 Workers Striving to Increase City’s Total Gifts to $2,000,000. WOMEN TO HOLD RALLY Closing Event of Week’s Drive at Jefferson Theater This Afternoon. The grand total of Red Cross con- tributions in St. Louis, given in the week ending today, was $1,914,001.22. At the Mercantile Club today the 24 soliciting teams announced contri- butions of $256,126.92 since Saturday noon. Workers in the local campaign toward the Amerjcan Red Cross fund of $100,000, - 000 hoped to increase the total of St. Louis contributions to a figure ap- proaching $2,000,000, with the reports to be made at today’s luncheon at the Mer- cantile Club. The last official figure, representing the total obtained up to Saturday noon, is 31.657. 876. 41. The city’s original allotment was $1,000,000, but it was decided last week to disregard that figure, and to double it if possible. Today was designated as Pershing Lay in the Red Cross campaign. A ca- blegram was sent, from Red Cross head- quarters in Washington, to Gen. Per- Shing at the French front, telling him that today the American people would remember him and his army by their subscriptions. The figure announced at today's luncheon will not represent the total of this city’s gifts, and this total will not be known for several days. Many firms have distributed subscription cards ‘+o their employes, and the subscriptions made on these cards will come in with- in the next few days. Another large source of subscriptions, it is expected, will be the blanks distributed by the Lae clede Gas Light Co. to its customers. will be paid in monthly installments with the customers’ gaa bills. ae A women’s rally at the Jefferson The- ater this afternoon is scheduled as the closing event of the one-week can'- paign. Private Peat, a Canadian youth who was severely wounded in Flanders, is to be the principal speaker. Workers in the campaign yesterday visited men whom they had not suc- ceeded in finding at their places of busi- ness during the week, or revisited wealthy subscribers, urging them to in- crease their previous subscriptions. This work of seeking increaged sub- scriptions was continued this morning. ENGLISH GENERAL WOUNDED LONDON, June 2%.—The Daily Ex- press learns that Brigadier-General J. E. B.

IAVANESE PRINCE HERE A DEMOCRAT AND 15 PRO-ALLY Headed Mission to Holland to Obtain Parliament for Dutch East Indies. HE LEADS SIMPLE LIFE Formerly Was “Allround Sport“ but Has Turned to Piety— Insisted on Visiting America. A Javanese mission to Hollan‘l, headed by Prince Koesoemdiningrat, reigning brother of the Sultan of Soeraharta, is in St. Louis on its re- turn to Java from Holland, where Queen Wilhelmina was petitioned to grant a Parliament-to the Dutch East Indies. The party will leave at 9 o’clock tonight for California to visit Theosophical colonies, and will sail from San Francisco next month. Through interpreters the Prince gave an interview to a Post-Dispatch ‘reporter at the Hotel Jefferson this morning. He sat at the head of a long table, sedate and solemn until warmed up with his views on the United States, when he cast reserve aside and announced that he was just an ordinary person with no divine rights; an apostle of democracy, and strongly pro-ally. Wear Colonel’s Uniform. The Prince wore the uniform of a Dutch Colonial Colonel—white duck, decorated to indicate length of serv- ice—and an artistic head-dress called an “iket,” which the inter- preter said was a wax painting and distinguishes the Javanese of rank. His teeth were discolored and ap- parently greatly worn, dut the Prince explained that when he mar- ried he conformed to a former cus- tom of his country bridegrooms, and submitted to the ordeal of having with an indelible ink. This cus- tom, however, has teen abolished, Donning his military hel- met. he N ed for pic- teres in front” o hotel and the large crowd that assembled seemed rather to please him. He is the first Javanese Prince to visit a foreign country, and would not have consented to break the custom of re- maining at home, he said, were it not that D. Van Hindloopen Labberton, lec- turer on Indoesian languages in the Government College of Batavia, the Prince's trusted friend, agreed to ac- company him. It was Labberton who arranged the trip. Others in the party besides Labberton are two body er- vants, a secretary, F. Kaoh of Minahas- sa, Celebes; Abdoel Moeis, editor of the Kaoem Moeda in Bandoeng, Java; Win- jo Soewojo of Socrakarta, teacher of Dutch Malay schools; Miss L. O. Sel- leger, daughter of a friend of Labber- ton; J. H. Vreedenburgh, an insurance agent of the Dutch East Indies, and Mrs. Vreedenburgh and their two cnhil- eren. Mohammedan and Theesophist. The Prince is Mohammedan and a mem ber of the Theosophical Society, and is writing propaganda books on theological unity. He also intends to write a book on his American impressions: “Americans are the loveliest people in the world,” he declared. I find them much more obliging than Europeans. In my palace I have 40 servants, but I get along quite well with two in this coun- try, for everybody tries to be at my nervice. In Europe we were practically left to shift for ourselves, and on sight- seeing trips had much trouble in getting around. But in New xork we were not only directed to places of interest, but were conducted to such places, often by entire strangers.” The Prince hesitated to discuss the war on the ground that Java is neutra', but, through Vreendeburgh, declared that the Mohammedan world is praying for deliverance from German domina- tion. “When the war started,“ he pointed oue, “Mohammedans favored Germany, but the East has discovered that Ger- many is using the Turk as a pawn to establish a world empire. German sub- marine warfare,” he added, “is un- speakably inhumane and has shocked Merchants’ advertising car- 12 Cols. Five Months, 1917: | . liberty-loving and peaceful peoples Were I powerful and more than prince of a little island, I would do just what President Wilson is attempting—bring the war to a close and save democracy to the world, and then make another such catastrophe impossible.“ The Prince lives a simple life. He is a vegetarian, and is preatiy pleased with American cookery. He arises at 7 a. m. and retires at 10 p. m. ‘The Prince used to be a gambler and general all-round sport,“ Labber- ton explained, after informing the Prince what he was about to say. But he is now leading his people in renouncing the seven sing. He is the author of several books on social life, and holds that knowledge ond righteous- ness is the best solution of all such problems. Incidentally, he is very dem- ocratic, and does not believe did should determine a man’s right to rule a people. Consequently, he studies the desires and needs of his people and ‘his teeth filed off and discolored}.

Returns being made by policemen on the results of their investigation of draft evasion do not indicate that any large number of men deliberately failed to register June 5. Of 106 names canvassed by the po- lice it was found that 65-of the men had registration cards, though it had been reported they had not regis- tered. Fifteen were already in mili- tary service on registration day. Others had moved and registered in their new precincts and some were out of the city and registered in other towns. Of 17 arrested, 10 have been re- leased on submitting proof that they were properly registered. LACK OF RAIN SENDS LOCAL VEGETABLE PRICES UPWARD "Advances of 15 to 50 Per Cent Made Within the Last Three Weeks, Vegetable prices have increased from 15 to 50 per cent within the last three weeks as a result of lack of rain. The last good rain in St. Louis and vicinity was 1.12 inches on May . There were showers the following week, the heaviest rainfall being 2 inch on June 5. At the Weather Bureau today it was said no rain was in immediate prospect. Commission men say prices of home- grown vegetables, such as radishes, let- tuce, turnips, spinach and cauliflower, have increased 15 to % per cent. On June 1 radishes were W cents a bushel wholesale; lettuce, 5 cents to 0 cents a bushel; turnips, 10 cents to D cents a dozen; spinach, 10 cents to B cents a bushel; caulifiower, % cents to § cents a bushel. Wholesale prices Saturday were: Radishes, 4 cents to 4 cents; letttice, 5 cents to 2% cents; turnips, 15 cents to % cents; spinach, 2 cents to cents; cauliflower, % cents to $1. To- matoes, shipped from the South, have increased about 50 per cent. NAVAL RECRUIT SUES FOR $42 HE SAYS IS DUE HIM AS WAGES Harry Bott, 18 years old, a naval re- cruit, has filed suit in Justice Gazzolo’s court, through his mother, Mrs. May. Bott, 336 Wyoming street, as next friend, against Ferd Dau, a house fur- nisher at 2021 Cass avenue and 2649 Cher- okee street, to obtain M2 alleged to be due him as wages. Mrs. Bott deposes Dau retained a dol- lar a week from the boy’s wages from May D, 1916, to March M. 1917, about the time he joined the navy, the money being kept as security because the boy was engaged in collecting for Dau. Dau told a Post-Dispatch reporter he had an agreement with the boy and his mother that if Bott remained in his em- ploy one year he was to get an addi- fered to compromise with the mother for . $69,000,000 BONDS FOR THIS DISTRICT Banks Are Notified of Akotments hich Average About 75 Per Cent. The St. Louis Federal Reserve District will recetve something more than 3. 000,000 of Liberty Bonds, or about three- fourths of its total subscription for the bonds, which exceeded $86,000,000. Notices were sent out today by the St. Louls Federal Reserve Bank to the 3000 banks in the district, through which most of the subscriptions came, stating what share of its subscription of bonds each bank would receive. These no- _ltices embodied the result of several days’ figuring. On orders from Washington, all sub-' scriptions for bonds in amounts up to $10,000 will be filled in full. In cages of subscriptions of $10,000 to $190,000, bonds will be allotted to 60 per cent of the amount of the subscription. Between $100,000 and $250,000 the allotment will be 45 per cent, and for sums larger than $250,000 it will be 30 per cent. These percentages were used in scaling down, not the total subscriptions sent in by the different banks, but the individ- ual subscriptions over $10,000 which ap- peared in those totals. The forms sent in by the banks showed the number of $50 subscriptions, the number of $10 subscriptions and the number of those in each larger denomination. In cases where these detailed figures were not given, it was assumed that the sub- scription was that of the bank itself, and it was treated as a whole. Rolia Wells, governor of the Federal Reserve Bank, said the subscriptions from St. Louis could not be shown ac- curately, as many St. Louis banks sent in subscriptions from their out-of-town customers. The organization of bond salesmen which handled the sale of Lib- erty Bonds estimated that the St. Louts subscriptions approximated $42,000,000, or nearly one-half of those of the entire district. The St. Louis Reserve District in- cludes Missouri, except a strip of coun- ties on the western border; Arkansas, Northern Missiasippi, Southern Illinois and Indiana, the west three-fifths of Kentucky, including Louisville, and the west one-third of Tennessee, including Memphis. As many of the largest subscriptions came from this city, the St. Louis sub- ecriptions were more reduced by the scaling process than those from the re- mainder of the district. OFFERS A BIBLE, GETS A BLOW FO BILL cw PROVISION RAISES REVENUE PROBLEM: $270,000,000 Present Tax and $470,000,000 Under New Tax Measure. Senate Expected to Retain at Using Foodstuffs in Mak- ing Spirits. E I ‘Musil Siar Puma: hibition on Beer Would Make Many Idle and Cause Property Loss Here. WASHINGTON, June B. Tue prohibi- tion amendment to the administration food bill, which passed the House Sat- urday night by a vote of 3% to . raises revenue complications for which no one has offered a solution, If the Senate adopts the measure as it stands, new means of taxation will have to be founa to make up for the losses in liquor taxes. - The revenue derived from spirits. wines and beer amounts to $270,000.00 under present laws. Under the new reve- nue bill before the Senate Finance Com- mittee this revenue would be increased to $470,000,000, but, of course, this sum would be wiped out by the prohibition clause in the food bill. A vigorous fight is promised in the Senate over the prohibition proposals. Prospects are, however, that the Senate will in the end vote to retain Uy oro- hibition proposals or at least: the pro- vision prohibiting use of foodstuffs ‘in manufacturing distilled «pirits. Reed Continues Attack on In. Senate leaders today arranged to expe- aite the food bill. The bill was referred by the Senate without discussion to the Agriculture Committee. Senator Reed of Missouri continued his attack upon ft. No additional committee hearings to fron and steel and their products, ol, petroleum products, copper, lead, sine and fertilizers. Senator Chamberlain, in charge of the bill, said there was much sentiment ter having. the Government control basic materials as well as food. A half-dosen amendments to the bill were introduced today. Senator Lewis, Democrat, of Im- nols, offered a substitute bill proposing that the President shall have genera! © broad authority to issue regulations for control of foodstuffs, specifically enu- — merating those held for “monopoliga- tion. or “unjust prices.” Several measures which have been de fore the Senate as part of the war legis- lation were also tacked onto the bill as amendments.

HARDEN JUSTIFIES ATTITUDE OF ENTENTE TOWARD GREEK KING Declares Protecting Powers Stand Firmly on Treaty Rights in Ac- tion in Greece. LONDON, June %.—A Rotterdam dis- patch to the Daily News reports: Max- imilian Harden, in the Zukunft, justifies the attitude of the entente Powers to- ward Greece in general and Constantine in particular. He writes: England, France and Russia, who delivered Hellas from the Turks and created a new Greek state, giving the crown by the London treaty of 1863 to Danish Prince Wiihelm, stand firmly on their treaty rights. According to the treaty of 1830, they may, without con- sent of the Greek state, send troops to that territory. *The King was guilty of breach of the treaties of protection, as by his ac- tions Greek neutrality had been violated and the independence of Greece re- duced. The opinion that to the protecting Powers belonged the right of control by occupation never has been contradicted. Constantine believed he was King by the grace of God, but he really was King by the grace of the protecting Powers. He would long ago have been dethroned if the dynastic feeling of his Russian royal relatives had not protect- ed him. If the report is correct that he has accepted the yearly payment of $100,000 offered him by the protecting Powers, he is scarcely dangerous any longer to the protecting Powers and the whole incident is far below the heights of tragedy. TESTIMONY THAT COAL MEN FIXED GOST AT MINES Price Lists Semt Out Day After Con- ference, Witnesses Testify at Trial in New York. NEW YORK, June %.—Testimony that price lists fixing $ at the mines as the minimum cost of semi-bituminous coal were sent out to operators on the day after a conference of coal presidens and operators in this city in January was in- troduced by the Government in its tria) of 51 individvals and 102 companies en- gaged in coal production in the Fed- eral Court here. W. R. J. Zimmerman, secretary of the Smokeless Coal Operators’ Association, called as a witness, testified regarding the conferences here Jan. 3 at the Wal- dorf-Astoria Hotel. He said that those present discussed the price of produc- tion in connection with increased cost in rails, spikes, steel and labor. Zimmerman said that on the following day he sent out circulars, which he had read at the conference, to a mailing list of operators, calling for a minimum price of & a ton at the mines beginning April 1, and providing for subsequent increase during the year. The price during the preceding year was from $1.25 to $1.35 a ton. RED CROSS GIRLS ON CARS All Fares Collected at Springfield, Mo., Go te Society.

TOENNIES PESSIMISTIC Noted Economist Fears Chronic State of War With No End in Sight. By CYRIL BROWN 3 A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and New York World, (Copyright, 1917, by Press Pub. Co.) STOCKHOLM, June %4.—Pan-German propaganda, under the misuse of Field Marshal Hindenburg's name for a so- called German or Hindenburg peace, has been systematically carried on at the ‘battle fronts to such an extent that many Germans are becoming aroused over the gravity of carrying politics into the army, and among questions which the Chancellor will have to an- swer at the next meeting of the Reiche- tag is this one by the Socialist member from Cologne: “At a battery on the west front, which cannot be named, the non-c issioned officer called the cannoniers together to read them an annexationist article in the Cologne People's Gazette and at- tempted to induce the men to sign a printed declaration in favor of the 30 · called Hindenburg peace. What does the Chancellor intend doing about such a misuse of military power?“ If this were an isolated case it would not receive any attention, but the de- termined Pan-German propaganda throughout the army, which naturally has induced the Socialist counter propa- ganda, threatens in time radically to divide the army into two politically hos- tile camps a development calculated to cause utmost concern to the highest leadership, which is sedulously keeping from committing itself at this time to any brand of peace. Dangerous Nuisance. Among independent organs the Morgen Post says: “Numerous developments of a not gratifying nature latterly make n the duty of the independent press to de- clare with all emphasis that grave and dangerous nuisance is being committed by dragging politics into the army. The army is the most visible manifestation of national unity, which ought to stand above all parties and classes, and he who undermines it sins against national unity, which we so bitterly need in this world war and which has enabled us to survive it so far.” The Morgen Post sees particular dan- ger in bringing the working classes in sharp antithesis with the army, depre- cates the manner in which the “extreme conservative press makes the whole body of workers responsible for the sins of a single labor leader or Socialist pa- per and brands them as enemies of the fatherland, is not actually as traitors.” »The working classes, the paper con- tinues, form the bulk of our armies. These colossal masses of workers have fought so unconditionally in the best na- tional sense for the maintenance of the fatherland that now to cast aspersions on their ideal motives is equivalent to separating them from our national unity ty force. “Only a complete keeping of the army and highest leadership from any sort of politics can preserve, unweakened, the support of the working classes in this war, which is essential to victory. Those, therefore, who desire a German peace, must with all energy protest against politics being carried into the army, which must be nothing but the instrument of national policy standing above all parties.” An Out-and-Out Pessimist. Prof. Ferdinand Toennies of the Uni- versity of Kiel, famous as a political economist, and who almost alone had the courage publicly to maintain that England could not be starved by sub. marines, declares in an interview: “There is not a vestige of peace in sight. In my opinion, the war will con- tinue indefinitely. I am an out and out pessimist. I fear nothing good, nothing worth while will come out of the Stock- holm conference. ou must bear in mind that it would be an unheard-of self-conquest on the Street Station today started an inves- part of the German nation if it sub- tigation to find the relatives of Martha scribed to the peace formula of no an- sxinicki, who was arrested in a raid on a negro’ resort at 1318 Wash street yes- terday. nexations and no indemnities.

The pamphlet is published in response to the demand that has come to mem- bers of the administration from all parts of the country for a detailed statement of our reason for pouring men anda money into the struggle to defeat Ger- many. Although prepared by George Creel, chairman of the Information Committee. there are indications in the text that some parts were written or dictated by the State Department, and other para- graphs show the touch of the presiden- tial pen. The document was passed upon by both President Wilson and Sec- retary Lansing. Some secret history is told. It is made known for the first time that prior to his departure for Berlin Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador. “begged that no irrevocable decision should be taken until he had had the chance to make one final plea for peace to his sovereign.” Delay Asked for Granted. Because of plea, no action that could be interpreted as an act of war was taken by the United States Government until Bernstorff had arrived in Berlin and had opportunity to see the Kaiser. Not until March 12, five weeks after the severance of relations with Germany, were armed guards placed on American merchant ships. And three weeks more elapsed before the devlaration of a state of war. Although no direct mention is made of Secretary Lansing’s famous state- ment, issued at the time of President in which he asked the belligerents to state their war aims. In summarizing the bad faith of the German Government the direct charge is made that Germany was endeavoring to obtain the Danish West Indies, which the United States recently purchased at a cost of $25,000,000. aie? The statement contains about 10,000 words. It reviews at length the efforts of years by the Government of the United State’ to secure settlement of in- ternational disputes by judicial instead 8f military methods. President Wilson's efforts to preserve neutrality are dwelled upon, and attention is called to the tremendous impression made on the American people by Germany’s savag- ery to the Belgium pecple. While there were disputes with England and Germany, those with Germany were infinitely the more serious, this seriousness having been added to by the fact that there was no arbitration treaty between this country and Germany, due to Ger- many’s refusal to negotiate one. Qeestion of Munitions Sales. The efforts of the German Govern- ment to stir up the German people, both at home and here, against this country, because of its refusal to forbid the sale of munitions to the allies, is told of. The fact is pointed out that if this country had taken the stand Germany desired it would have been crippled in case of war, be- cause it would in turn have been de- nied the right to purchase munitions from neutrale, and the nation with the largest reserve supply would nat- urally win. The efforts of the German propa- ganda to embroi] the United States with Latin America and Japan are Wilson’s peace note to the belligerents, | on Dec. 18, the cause for that statement is now revealed. Lansing’s statement that the United States was on the verge of war upset the stock market and caused almost as much excitement as the pubficaticn of the President's note, also reviewed. The statement car- ries the story through the final an- nouncement of Germany to renew and make even more ruthless her subma- rine warfare, which was a direct challenge to this country and led to the declaration of war. SCHEIDEMANN URGES SWEEPING | DEMOCRATIZATION OF GERMANY Socialist Leader Declares It Is Only Thing Which Will Bring About Peace by Winter. . Philipp Scheidemann, the Socialist leader, celebrated his return from the Stockholm conference by the pub- lication in Vorwaerts of a two-column article in which he reveals himself as anything but optimistic concern- ing early peace prospects. “In spite of Stockholm,” he says, “we fear that we shall be called upon to face the fourth winter of war. To prevent this, if possible, in an hon- orable way must be our duty. One of the means of achieving this, while not infallibly certain, yet most prom- ising, is the democratization of Ger- many.” After upbraiding the German Gov- ernment for its failure to make an exhaustive declaration with regard to its war aims in reply to the Socialist interpellation, and declining party re- sponsibility for the Government's course, Scheidemann continues: I believe that each of us has returned from Stockholm with the firm con- viction that we are on the right road. We desire to see the peace policy of the central Powers initiated Dec. 12, 1916, carried out without circumven- tion to completion. Then occurred what we had predicted and vainly tried to stave off—war with the United States. As a result of this our opponents hope of victory is revived and the war is continued. It was in Stockholm that I finally accepted as my unshakable convic- tion that of which I had before been consclous— the thing cannot be achleved without the sweeping dem- ocratization of Germany.” POLICE HUNT GIRL’S RELATIVES on Resort.

FAIRVIEW, Utah, June 25.—The dam of the Price River Irrigation Co., 12 miles from here, which start- ed to break yesterday, was a total loss today. Fear that there would be loss of life in Schofield, Helper, Cas- tlegate and Colton, towns in the path of the 11,000-acre feet of water re- leased by the break, were dispelled this morning by the announcement of the Rio Grande Rallroad that hun- dreds of men, women and children had been taken to safety.

WASHINGTON, June B.— More than half a million men have volunteered in the American army and navy since war was declared to exist on April 6. The army, yavy and national guard represented an aggregate strength of little more than 300,000 men when the. war resolution was adopted, Today about 800,000 are enrolled in the various branches of the fighting service, and the great majority ot them are armed, equipped and under training. The regular army totaled a little more than 100,00) men three months ago, but is nearing the 250,000 mark today, and the War Department is bending every effort to bring it up to 300,000 during the present week. The Nationa] Guard, 150,000 strong when war came, numbers nearly 260,009. Ot that number nearly 75,000 actually are under arms. The marine corps has been raised from 17,000 to nearty 390,000 men. The regular bluejacket. force of the navy has been raised from less than 60,000 to 120,000, while probably 12,000 men have already joined the force of engineers newly created tor service in France. Forty thousand picked men are under strenuous traiming at the officers’ training camps. Other thousands are doing their share at the medical corps ‘and engineer corps’ training camps and still others are with the naval coast de tense reserve keeping the Atlantic coast free from the submarine megace.

F. von Georyi, Minister of Defense in the retiring Aus- trian Cabinet, as published in the Lokal Anzeiger and Tageblatt of Berlin. The statement waa made in a discussion of the demand of the Czech Deputies for the release of Herr Klofac. who was sentenced to death on the charge of at- tempting to reconcile Russia and Bo- hemia. He is a Deputy and head H the Czech union. His sentence was canceled by Emperor Charles, but he is still held in prison.

WAUKESHA, Wis., June 2.—Miss Grace Lusk, who shot Mrs, David Rob- erts to death and then shot herself, is improving in strength and physicians a: the hospital say her chances are good for recovery. Indications that Mrs. Roberts expect- ed or, possibly, meditated serious trou- ble when she left for the Mills resi- dence where Miss Lusk was diving, have developed. She left a sealed letter ad- dressed to Mrs. Gretha Newman, her mother: Mrs.. Newman, who lived at the Rob- erts home, has not opened the letter, and declines to do so or to express any opinion as to ifs contents. It is said, a half-brother of Mrs. Robetts is on his way here, and that the message prob- ably will be opened upon his arrival, Dr. Roberts refers everyone wishing to talk with him to his attorney, H. J. Frame. The inquest will be held Wednesday. Dr. Roberts was questioned behind closed doors in court today by District Attorney Tullar. The District Attorney desired in particular to learn whether Dr, Roberts had heard Misg Lusk make threats against Mrs. Roberts. The defense is said to be-considering the advisability of ignoring the usual insanity plea and standing on the mer- its of Miss Luck's alleged wrongs by Dr. Roberts. .

Inte rrogation of Alfredo Cocchi, self-confessed ‘slayer of Ruth Cruger of New York, is kept se- cret by law in Italy until just before trial, when counsel are allowed to ex- amine the result of investigations made both by the police and Judge. Accord - ing to unofficial information, Cecchi re- counted to Judge Zucconi his history in America.. He said: . “My machine shop gave me a satis- factory position. I earned sometimes $10 a week. I had never Cruger before she came to my shop to — very beginning Ruth did all in her pow- er to attract my attention. I felt some- thing strange when her dark, penetrat- ing eyes fixed on mine. I was still more disconcerted when she came again Feb. 13 to get her skates. An overpowering attraction for the young woman seized me. What happened afterward seems like a dream. My memory at this pont falis me utter- ly. In view of the facts which have been presented, it must be true I attacked and killed her’ But, God help me, 1 didn’t mean to.

I cannot my- self belteve that my hitherto unblem- ished life has been destroyed forever. This is my first offense, but it is of such a nature that I cannot believe it to be true. The greatest punishment is to think what suffering and agony my wife and children are undergoing, as, notwithstanding our misunderstandings, we love each other most tenderly.“ Cocchi made an attempt to kill him- self, his jailers assert. Thé prisoner tried to dash his head against the stone wali of his cell, but guards were quick- ly upon him and overpowered him. He is being guarded carefully. Papers Required for Extradition of Cocehi Are Completed. NEW YORK, June %.—Papers re- quired for the. extradition application to bring Alfredo Cocchi, self-confessed g@ayer of Ruth Cruger, from Bologna, Italy, where he fled when he feared he was suspected, were completed today by Edward Swan, District Attorney. In the opinion of Swan and lawyers con- versant with Italian law, Cocchi can be extradited. The present friendly rela- | pons between Italy and the United States, according to the lawyers, s ex- rected to cause the Italian Government to atretch a point by not insisting upon observance of its penal, which prohibits the extradition of Italian citizens tak- ing precedence over its treaty providing for reciprocal extradition. With recomis of the police activities in the Cruger cage before him, Leon M. Walistein, City Commissioner of Ac- counts, today resumed his inquiry which was ordered by Mayor Mitchel to place responsibility for the failure of the Fourth Branch Detective Bureau to solve the mystery of the missing ‘girl Walistein spent all of yesterday digging into the records of the Fourth Branch office. State Department Asks for Copy of Cocchi Confession, WASHINGTON, June %.—The State Department has requested the Italian Government to forward a copy of the confession of Alfredo Cocchi, in which he admitted that he had killed Ruth Cruger. Moves for the extradition of Cocchi are in a somewhat indefinite stage. Italy heretofore has construed her treaty with the United States not to require such ar extradition, but in view of the new rela- tions brought about by the war, there is some likelihood of success. ‘GIVE US LOCOMOTIVES AND WE SHALL GIVE MILITARY SUCCESS’ Russia Needs 2000 Now, Declares Rail. road Minister With Russian Miasion in United States.

LONDON, June %.—A dispatch to the Times from Amsterdam reports that a crowd of women stormed a dozen barges in the inner harbor of Rotterdam Sat- urday and seized about a ton of pota- toes destined for England. The barges, which were loaded with 11,000 tons of potatoes, werd then removed to the out- er harbor, guarded by police. , Germany expected last week a con- signment of new potatoes in return for German exports of coal to Holland. Be- fore a consignment could be made 11,00 tons of old potatoes had to be shipped to England under contract. The people of Rotterdam, who are themselves in- sufficiently supplied, learning that these potatoes were awaiting shipment, rajd- ed the barges. Meanwhile the Ger; are threatening to cease coal suppli unless the potatoes are sent. | The correspondent says that if the Dutch yield to German pressure and send these potatoes to Germany they will break their agreement with En- gland and endanger their supply of grain from America, which might provd as serious as the loss of German coal.

The Attorney-General, Sir Frederick Smith, said that before the war the firm did virtually no business with either Scan, dinavia or Russia, but that this buet- ness had assumed large proportions since the war began. The Crown co tended that the goods were intended for Germany. Aron & Co. deny this claim, stating they instrueted their agent, Woods, to sell only to Scandinavia and Prussia. KANSAS.

Thee were assembled representatives of the Zemstvo and Municipal Unions, the Zemstvo Industrial Committee and the local council of the Workmen's and Sol- diers’ Deputies. We have seen nothing since we came to Russia, said Root, that gives cause for criticism. We marvel at the self- control and the common sense the Rus- sians display. We feel that the work you are doing in the committees is on the right path toward the permanent democracy. The Government of Ger- many, thetr social system, even German Socialism, are militaristic. They shail not gain control of free America, and if we can help you to prevent their gain- ing control of free Russia, we shall be happy in feeling that we have assisted.“ One Inharmonicus Note. The representatives of the yario..s groups replied. The only inharmonious note was sounded by M. Grigorieff, rep- resenting the Workinmen’s Council. He said: „We hope that peace will be conclud- ed as soon as possible, and this will be different from past peace treaties, be- cause peace will be concluded not by diplomats but by the masses. I hope that America will support Russia in its desire for peace in the near future.”’ M. Grigorieff explained later to James Duncan, vice president of the American Federation of Labor, that he did not mean that Russia would quit fighting before it was possible to arrange peace in the best interests of democracy. The Americans were cheered when they lef: the hall. At the second meeting before the city Duma, Root said: We have heard reports about dan- gers threatening your new liberty, but we hope you will expand your experi- ence in local self-government ftnto power ‘held at New York City, commencing Monday, Oct. 15, and continuing for three days thereafter.

Test for Russia. We know that you will make sacri- fices to preserve your freedom won at such a high cost. Now comes the test. You must strug- gle until your liberty is secure. We be- lieve Russia will do this.“ The Mayor in reply said: Russia wel- comes America’s assistance in her pres- ent period of infirmity and economic ex- haustion.”’ He concluded with an eulogy of Presi- dent Wilson, saying: The aims of the war, the definition of the problem stand- ing before humanity have been given by your great pacifist, President Wilson, who, in preserving the ideal of peaze has realized the vital importance of the struggle.“ On motion of the Mayor the meeting unanimously decided to send a telegrar: to President Wilson thanking him for sending the Root commission to Russia. The headquarters of the War Indus- trial Committee was visited by the American mission. Root; in answer to an address of welcome, said that Amer- {ca was summoning 10,000,000 men to the lors in defense of freedom. His re- marks were enthusiastically applauded. Filling Rassia’s Orders. Continuing, Root told his hearers that half a million Americans soon would be fighting. America’s fleet already was annihilating the German submarine. De- scribing America’s adaptation to war, Root praised American workmen for voluntarily working in the nation’s in- terest longer hours than usual. They soon would be fulfilling Russia’s order for locomotives and cars. „Say what Russia wants.“ continued the speaker, and we will come in and aid. Our high aims in the war justify the heaviest sacrifices and anyone who cannot understand these aims must be unable to understand anything.” Afterward the Americans visited ths Moscow Bourse Committee, where they were welcomed by M. Tretiakof, pres dent of the committee. Later they in- spected the People’s Bank and. -various munitions workshops, where they were given a rousing reception. Some of the members went to Sergievsky to visit the famous Trinity monastary, meeting on the way the Procurator-General of the Holy Synod, M. Lvoff. and church dig- nitaries, who heartily greeted the Amer- icans. Roots Party Proceeds to Archangel. PETROGRAD, June B.- Rear Admiral James H. Glennon, U. 8.

n +o 1,000,000 TONS OF NEUTRAL ~ SHIPPING NOW LYING IDLE At Anchor in Belligerent Ports, Says Italian Miaston Member, Fearing to Take to Sea. BOSTON, June B. More than 1,000,000 tons of neutral shipping is swinging idly at anchor in the harbors of belligerent nations, ‘according to a statement made by Augusto Ciuffelli, former member of the Italian Cabinet and member of the Italian mission, to the Associated Press here today. “Hundreds of Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, Greek and Spanish ships, total- ling more than 1,000,000 tons, said Mr Ciuffelli, “are lying idle in the ports of the belligerent nations because of the submarine menace. The owners of many ’ of these ships are deliberately holding 1 e * A RUM ee oN ee Oe Cr Pe a ee 8. tel SS ee Oe es ee oe Te As ee 8 . bates Po ace eee k (oes ‘Shee: el Meet: i Si 3 ee > > APRS oo — „ > e See 2 N . x 3 them in port in order to reap che | traordinary profits which they expect will accrue to them. In their minds the shipping situation has reached a point where trade rates will be higher when peace comes than they are now and in- surance rates will decrease.” “1 do not believe that belligerent na- tions should respect the so-called rights of neutrals in this regard. [ am con- yinced that they have the right to pre- vent the continuation of this practice in a lawful manner. This could be accom- stabil either by curtly ordering such ships to quit the territorial waters of the country wherein they expected to remain or charging them such heavy port duties that their stay in harbor would be made exceptionally expensive. Belligerent nations could also, in my opinion, refuse bunker coal to neutral ships unless they accepted cargoes bound through the danger zones.“ A NOTHER engagement of much in- Club by Miss Hilda Forster, daughter of Mrs. McPherson avenue. known to her friends as Tox'!

STAMP Taking only two days for organization of the affair, a dozen giris and boys re- siding in the 6200 block on Washington boulevard gave a clever production of “Cinderella’’ Friday afternoon at the home of little Miss Charlotte Spencer, ¢214, for the benefit of the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund. The amount added to the fund was $12.6. It was about the busiest two days in the lives of the youthful Company mem- bers, but there was richly earned com- pensation. Some of the young people had previously acquired some knowledge of the play, but as a whole it had tu be put together and given the special touches suggested by the fancies of those taking the lead in its presenta- tion. Then there were costumes to pro- vide, a stage to erect and numerous other essential details, including enlist- ment along practical lines of the inter- est of neighbors in order that an audi- ence would not be lacking. All these matters the children hustied into form with remarkable cleverness, and those who witnessed the entertainment might well have supposed that it had been weeks in the making. It took place in the sun room of the home, which was decorated richly and harmoniously with fiowers and patriotic colors. After the production three of the smaller members of the group delighted the audience with a finished act from “Little Miss Muffett.’’ These were Jane Moulton and Jane Mal- Votlea, organdies and pengees STAMPS WITH EACH AND EVERY 1e PURCHASE INSTEAD OF ONE AS USUAL Children’s Hose Fine ribbed; 1d value $2 Shoes Children’s: white canvas NY NS SY N AN ue . n Girls’ Middy Blouses 290 Boys’ Leather Belts Heavy twill colored collars. . 280 value s 56 Boys’ Shirts De (Main For) Infants’ Caps Lace and embroidery 50e Muslin Gowns The F ollowing for . ‘Only pieces; 36 inches wide; ‘a & 16 Madras ö Jamrire Madras and Pereales, bookfold full variety of neat pat- terns; per yard (Main Floor.) 7 * ce & 85c Skirting wun Skirtings, 36 inches wide, and many other fash- consisting of 29 fonable fabrics; yard.

BERLINER TAGEBLATT OPPOSES SEPARATE PEACE WITH RUSSIA Says General Peace, Substituting Right for Might, Is Needed for Exhausted Europe. AMSTERDAM, June %.—Vigorously combatting that portion of the German people who demand that the Govern- ment pursue the task of effecting a sep- arate peace with Russia, the Berliner Tageblatt says that, instead of a sep- arate peace bringing a speedy general peace, it is more likely that Great Britain, France and the United States would continue the war while Germany, through such a separate peace, would become responsible for and burdened with the financial and economic support of Russia without the possibility of bp- taining a ton of corn in the next three years. Urging instead the pursuit of a gen- eral peace by an understanding, the Tageblatt says: “The Russian peace formula is inade- quate.

We have sold more electric ranges during the first five months of 1917 than during the entire three years 1914, 1915 and 1916 combined. The ranges are wonderfully econom- ical and satisfactory. We sell only the best, at prices running from $35.00 up to $225. bo, according to size. St. Louis housewives have learned that electric cooking really IS the clean- est, coolest, easiest, best and cheapest way to cook. Our easy-payment plan has enabled hundreds to buy ranges who might have hesitated to pay all cash down. Our low rates have been a big factor. On May 1 we cut the third step in our residence rates, for range users, from 3 cents a kilowatt hour to 2 cents. The 8-cent primary rate and the 6- cent secondary rate, calculated to cover cost of delivering the small amount of energy used for lighting, remain the same. Our 2-cent rate to range users is calculated to cover cost of excess ener used for cooking and other domestic ur It is the lowest residence rate in any big American city. It is probably the main reason why St. Louis folks are today buying more electric ranges than the people of any other city.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE — Reed vs. Hoover. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Regarding -the proposed food control measures, Senator Reed took an extreme view in suggesting that a nobody, “some- one named Hoover,” under the proposed law could dictate as to whether an ordinary person.or politician, such as might include Senator Reed, should have a juicy steak twice a week, more or less, and he, in this case (Mr. Hoover) might even limit the diet of a mother and her baby! As to the latter case I would trust Hoover to favor the mother and baby in their allowance. Now in Mr. Reed's case, or in my case, or even in your case, gentle reader, should Mr. Hoover suggest or dictate what, or how often we should eat this or that? Betons we answer, let's consider. Perhaps, Mr. Reed’s son, or your son, or my son, vol- unteers, or is drafted into the army or navy to defend our country and our homes, and what seems more sacred to some people, our business. Well, said son, “our son” (who will deny him, whether in the army or tne navy?) has signed himself to put up with all the regulations, to do this and to do that, and above all to take orders implicitly from his superiors, and to faithfu:ly do this, he pledges his honor, and even his life. Now these are not ordinary times, but extraordinary, emergency war times, and being so, which is more sacred, “our son's” life, which we all practically agree can be drafted for our country’s good, or our measley pocketbook which contributes to extravagant tables? I say more power to Mr. Hoover, and may he curb the food trusts and speculators, which, I understand, is the primary object of the food laws to be enacted, and he may well advise the rest of us about the amount of this food or that food to use for our- selves, 80 as to conserve and insure some food for “our sons” and their allies “some- where at the front.” As to Mr. Hoover, himself, his record has been first-clags, Al. And even Senator Reed intimated that Mr. Hoover was a good engi- neer. Now a good engineer accomplishes things, and I trust the Government in its selection of Mr. Hoover. E. F. X. Suffragists Appreciate Our Editorial. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Will you let us express the pleasure we have had in reading your recent editorial entitled, “Deadlock Over Thirty-seven Pajamas?” The anti-suffragists, in their wild grasping after straws to bolster up their losing cause, have seised upon the pajama incident to create a prejudice against suffragists. It is true that the “Votes for Women” tags were put into them by a militant group in New Jersey, which is but an infinitesimal fraction ot the great body of suffragists. But we think you are correct in justifying this “reminder of patriotic duty and demo- cratic progress.” The soldier will be fa- vorably impressed by going to sleep with “votes for women” in his mind. It would be a good thing if this could happen in the case of the men who stay at home. Since this war ie waged for democracy.“ it is proper to use this motto, for the United States cannot claim to be a democracy so long as one-half of its adult ctiizens are denied the suffrage. We trust that 37 soldiers will get their pajamas and find the “votes for women“ tage safely inside of them. * IDA HUSTED HARPER, Editorial Chairman Leslie Suffrage Bureau. 5 Cowardly Youths.

We wish you te know that never have “e reeeived such courteous and satisfac- tery treatment at the hands of the news- papers in any city where we have held our previous conventions.

The House weighted and warped the food con- trol bill, just before its adoption, with a fanatical prohibition amendment forbidding the brewing and distilling of alcoholic beverages. The Barkley amendment was not put into the bill as a measure of food conservation. It is not germane to that subject, nor was food control the object of the extremists who forced it into the bill. It was a prohibition measure pure and sim- ple. | : To divert attention and discussion from the real purpose of food contro! legislation, which is vital to the winning of the war and the welfare of the people, to delay and endanger the bill by injecting the prohibition question into it is an act of supreme folly. The debate in the Senate is at once shifted from necessary provisions for protecting the people from food sharks, waste and inefficient and monopolistic distribution of food supplies to the question of prohibition. The safety and welfare of the republic is im- perilied by a lot of extremists who thrust their hobby and their ceaseless squabble on the most important piece of legislation pending in Con- gress. : The amendment plays into the hands of food monopolists, speculators and price manipulators, Although the bill passed with only five votes against it, showing the unanimity of sentiment for food control, the Barkley amendment was carried by a close vote of only 132 to 114, and the Lenroot amendment, permitting the making of beer and light wines, received a vote of 124 to 134. The country is practically united on food control, but is divided almost equally on pro- hibition. We believe it would be unwise, at this time, when unanimity on the vital measures and the great sacrifices of the war is imperative, to pass a national prohibition measure. It would disrupt business, force a readjustment of taxation with increased burdens on the masses, throw thousands of men and women out of employment and thus cause widespread disturbance and hardship which we ought by all means to avoid. It would divide the country into two camps and cause bitter re- sentments among large elements. of the people. It is worth considering that Britain now its faced by deep discontent among its working peo- ple on account of mere interference with the qual- ity of British beer and that a strong French com- mission, after a thorough investigation, reported against prohibition and in favor of an army ration of beer and light wines. It found the effect of complete prohibition on the army disastrous to health and morale. From every standpoint it is unwise to proceed by arbitrary sweeping action which disrupte in- dustrial organization and attempts to revolution- ize the people’s habits. We believe in every sound policy of temperance, but temperance is not promoted by cutting off light wines and beers or by attempting violent, forcible reforms. If it were a question of booze or bread no one would hesitate, but we have not reached that point, especially with the comparatively harm- less substitutes for strong drink. Let us first put into operation genuine food consérvation. Let us proceed judiciously until, in the light of facts, we can adopt a line which will accomplish the ends of temperance and sobriety. Let us at least sep- arate food control from prohibition and consider each measure on its own merits. The Senate has canceled many hasty blunders of the House in other legislation. The responsi- bility now rests upon that body to shape the food control bill so that it will deal effectively with the food situation and will not be a mess of un- related prohibitions and regulations. = =. = > i i WORK, THE SLOGAN. In his letter to the Aero Club of America, Rear Admiral Fiske urges the use of torpedo planes, which in minor trials have proved their effective- ness, to destroy the German warships at their bases. He suggests the use of a fleet of mother ships at points of convenience in the North Sea from which fleets of torpedo planes may be sent to Kiel, Helgoland and Wilhelmshaven for the purpose of destroying the German ships. This is one of the phases of the domination of the air which has been discussed. There are many in which valuable contributions to victory may be made. The opinion of Rear Admiral Fiske of the practicability of the plan to destroy naval fleets and bases with airplanes is worth considering. It stimulates effort. While we are developing ideas, however, for the use of airplanes and promoting plans on the largest scale for the manufactire of planes and the training of aviators, we must not be carried away by extremists who insist that the war will be won by air craft. It is possible, but air craft alone will not win. : We are brought down to earth by a sensible not to neglect other imperative war weapons on account of air craft. He reminds us that there are three big elements in the land war—infantry, artillery and aviation. The artillery depends upon aviation and the infantry upon artillery. We must develop all elements to their fullest et- ficiency in order to win. We must also supply food and ships, naval and mercantile. So far the great military strokes of the war have been made by artillery in co-operation with aviation. The necessity of big, efficient guns and many corps of aviators in order to open the way for infantry has been demonstrated. The to achieve it is by member of Gen. Pershing’s staff, who warns us slogan. 200 BILL STILL OBJECTIONABLE. | The “amended” zoo bill is amended in only its least objectionable feature. Five city officials are made permanent, instead of merely temporary, members of the board, but @ power of self-perpetuation is retained in re- spect to the remaining four seats in the body. The fight to appoint its own membership should not be conferred on any board. When so extraor- dinary a right is conferred on a body having con- trol of large sums of money, especially one provided with an independent source of income not subject to the ordinary appropriating authori- ties, the possibility of loose management, unsound expenditure and even scandal is too great to be ignered. It is not unreasonable to insist that the Zoo Board, so far as its anomalous income status per- mits, shall be subject to the same restraints in- suring a satisfactory personnel and a responsive- ness to the popular will as other city depart- ments. This handicap to its success from the start and cause for suspicion should be removed by further amendment. = = * a SLOW TO START, BUT— , St. Louis may not be as fast on the getaway as some of its younger cr more boisterous con- temporaries, but in the stretch, where endurance and experience are prime factors, it shows a clean —~ Ss efficient, unceasing work.

Early in the war some little disappointment was expressed with the recruiting campaign in St. Louis. Smaller cities—Omaha, Minneapolis and Keokuk, for example—were turning more men into the army and navy daily than the metropo- lis of the valley. This seemed astounding to Washington, but to St. Louisans and those who knew St. Louis it meant little or nothing. St., Louis was merely saving its strength and breath for real work. The stretch has been reached and note the re- sults. Army and navy recruiting in this city is showing excellent returns, a new regiment of militia at war strength has practically been or- ganized and several other units filled. Of course, tnere is yet much to be done before the city will have accomplished its full duty in the way of enlistments, but with the present momentum nothing can stop St. Louis from hanging up an enviable record. ; The Liberty Loan and Red Cross campaigns here are other examples in point. The sale of bonds started slowly, as is the wont of St. Louis, but when the stretch was reached it was found that subscriptions were coming in by the mil- lions and at the finish it was discovered that St. Louis not only exceeded its own quota by a score of millions, but was enabled to have the amount alloted to the whole regional bank district over- subscribed $6,000,000. The excellent Red Cross showing is too fresh to need notice. In this case the necessity was so urgent that St. Louis abandoned its usual style UNCLE SAM STARTED SOMETHING. paign a dash all the way. = = — TEN PER CENT CONTRAOTS. Ex-Senator J. L. Bristow of Kansas, now chair- man of the Public Utilities Commission of his State, makes known some of the workings of the so-called “10 per cent contracts” under which training camps are being constructed in many parts of the country. These are contracts under which builders are paid the actual cost of construction, plus 10 per cent to represent their own compensation. How- ever advantageous these arrangements may be in private construction, where self-interest furnishes powerful incentives for a sharp scrutiny of costs, they afford much leeway for abuses in Govern- ment contracts on a huge scale unless provision is made for the most rigid supervision. As sample instances the Senator points out that inexperienced men and boys have been employed at the usual rate per day of skilled carpenters, with pay at an extra rate for overtime. He learned that 13 men were hired to unload a car of lumber, when four would have sufficed. A printer’s devil increased his pay from $8 to $32 a week by trans- ferring his services to the contractor. Every time a contractor can add $1 to the costs he benefits to the extent of 10 cents. That he should look more to added than to diminished costs would be natural. If Mr. Barstow’s invitation to make a July 4 ad- dress at Stockton was canceled on account of his war criticisms, it must have been due to other and more censorious criticisms than this. A patriotic service is performed when waste, extravagance, graft, mismanagement of any sort are exposed in the enormous expenditures Uncle Sam must neces- sarily make in the next few months. he hi — BRIDICULOUS ‘‘LIFH’’ SENTENCE. The other day Gov. Lowden of Illinois com- muted the death sentence of a Belleville negro to life imprisonment and the beneficiary of his clemency cake-walked his delight. Not that a life sentence was ‘such an attractive prospect. He rejoiced and was glad because a life sentence rarely means a life sentence and he calculated, as all life-termers do, that in a few years he would be pardoned. Gov. Lowden has given substance to the life- termers’ hope by pardoning Fred Mink, who was sent up from Pittsfield, III., fourteen years ago ander what amounted to two life sentences. He was to serve 99 years for one murder and a life sentence for another. Inasmuch as both murders committed by Mink were deliberate, premeditated, planned and cold- blooded, it might have been supposed that in his case two life sentences would mean at least one life sentence, but after fourteen years he is free. His punishment was seven years for each murder. Mink, 18 years old, had gone West. He got the idea that persons back in Pike County were med- dling in his love affairs and traveled back with an automatic revolver tucked in his pocket and shot and killed his stepmother as she was about her household duties and Newt Harris, a neighbor, as he was feeding his hogs.

JULIA CLOPTON ORESAP. ‘ p » Certainly there has never been another such good loser as Mr. Taft. In an essay on the presidency con- tributed to one of the current magazines, he repro- duces the following letter, received just prior to the nomination of Hughes: Dear Sir: I see you are again interfering in the politics of this country, and are saying that Mr. Root would make an excellent President. Didn’t the campaign of 1912 convince you that the people of this country don’t give a damn what you think of the presidency? Mr. Taft regards that as a good one. Imagine any- body so good-natured! mn | It is just as Well that the United States Supreme Court did not have to decide whether news is prop- erty from the evidence submitted to our readers last week. We are afraid that our statement that ‘‘facts in that absolute sense are but as one in a mountain of fish in the sea, valueless unless and until by labor mined or caught for use,’’ would have laid that sol- emn tribunal a very serious stymie. Probably there is not a Judge on the Supreme Bench, as hard as the country has been combed for them, who ever heard of a mountain of fish either in the sea or anywhere else. W 21 Half of Col.

CLEVELAND, June 25.—Five games will be crowded {nto the next four days by the Browns during their stand against the Indians, beginning today. One of the games is left over fom the last visit of the St. Louisans, to the sixth city, rain having washed away the box score on the final day. Allan Sothoron, the ~oung star from Portland, who had a busy time during the last series, 8 won the three games played, with e aid of some of the other St. Louis pitchers, is again expected to start at least two of these games. Manager Jones, however, said he would likely start Dave Davenport in the opening con- test, today. On his arrival here, Jones an- nounced that it was doubtful if he would have the services of Ernie Johnson, shortstop, tn the game to- day or for several days for that mat- ter. Johnson has a lame arm, having been hit below the right elbow in the game in Detroit, yesterday, by pitch- er Harry Coveleskie. Collegian May Play ‘Third. As Johnny Lavan is not with the team, Jones said he would play Jim- my Austin at short, if Johnson is unable to play.

The week's apparently very large increast in gold deposited to secure outstanding note circulation (in- cluding that pledged dollar for dollar — oe oo value 2 the notes) is covere nto e general reserve of t Federal banks. os “This has the effect, notwithstanding very large additions to the Government deposits, of increasing the ratio of gold reserve to aggregate deposit liabilities from 58% to 6% r cent, but also of decreasing the ratio of gold to circulat- ing notes from 94% per cent to 79%. “This is as yet in effect a bookkeeping change, and the required ratio of gold to outstanding notes is only 40 per cent. But the change involves certain ele- ments of possible danger, since the er- tire gold holdings in excess of require- ments as reserve for the notes are now applicable to supporting increased loans, and the resultant liabilities.

The Post-Dispatch | Daily Short Story for the Honor of : the Corps By Duffield Osborne. — -_- —_ - -_ -* . -—_- HE rays of the Sicilian sun had be- gun to slant among the palms and pines of the garden. The inmates af the little hotel in Palermo were wak- _ing from mda siestas, and geet their afternoon forays upon the sights „e the city. Miss Ethel Follansbee of Mew vorm reciined gracefully on an an- Gent stone hermicycle. Miss 8 parents, stiil tn therr cool rooms, show a Word tack of enthusiasm as sight- secrs, but fortunately Mr. Gerald Carter, vear out of Yale, was not equally 2 — Re e " ate recreant. “ary plans fer the S'«s shock her Atternoon ? he head rather dis- assed. cmstha‘elr’. 5 "Where hn we go. “oh, 1 don’t care,” he said vaguely. “tots juet stroll.” Thon they wandered out together, with „ Wiss aimlessness worthy of older and wore experienced travelers. They were passing a cafe of the bet- ter sort, where «a row of little round ta- „ies on the sidewalk invited the fash- ionable wayfarer to his ice or his syrup. „Dort vou want to stop and try one of their ices?” he suggested. I've heard they're good.” Miss Follensbee assented with enthu- siasm. Three young cavalry officers sat at the next table, with their short gray cloaks thrown back, and each fixed his dark eyes on Miss Follansbee's face and kept them there with a calm insistence which, despite all the self-poise of the American girl, began at last to prove embarrassing. She reddened under the stare. Then one Ot her unsought admirers spoke, ostensibly to a companion, but in a voice he made no effort to lower. “Ah, my Liugi! What pretty blue eyes these American ladies have. 1 mistake not, that smile of the signorina was for you.” The youth addressed twirled up his little black mustache and waved his cl- garette depreciatingly. “Doubtless she admires all brave sol- diers A fair field for each of us! I whall not grudge you your chances.” They laughted, and Miss Follansbee flushed a deeper crimson. Carter swung round in his chair and glared savagely, but the three ignored his presence. “Camillo is right,“ broke in the third, “ and Luigi is generous only because he knows he is irresistible. Let me beg of vou, though, my friend, that you will be more constant to this conquest than vou were to the little Annunziatta.”’ “Annunziata? Ah, but she was of a different sort,“ said Luigi disdainfully. Truly different,’’ exclaimed Camillo “Our Sicillan peasant girl can avenge inconstancy. In her black eyes are poniards; in the blue ones are only tears. Therefore be kind in victory.” There were indeed tears in Miss Fol- : lansbee’s eyes--tears of mortification and nervous resentment. She half rose from her chair. “Come, let's go, Mr. Carter. I~I don't really think I care for an ice after all.” “But see now, protested Luigi. “She is going. She does not appreciate——” “Coquetry—mere coquetry.“ began Cemillo, and then he was conscious of a tall, broadshouldered fellow towering above him, with a face glowering with rage Carter's eyes blazed from one to the other of the three. His Italian was crude and halting enough, but it shot N from his lips with a vigor that more than made up for bad grammar and slender vocabulary. I don't know what you call this kind of thing in Italy, but in America we'd call it cowardly blackguardism. If 1 were alone here, I'd punch a little de- cent manners into all three of your heads!" He didn't know the Italian for “black- guardism,’’ so he let it go in English; but the meaning hit the mark square and hard. Luigi rose, his olive face a shade paler. He drew a card case from his pocket, took out a card, and, with a formal bow, handed it to the Ameri- CPM, 3 “I am at the service of the signor,”’ he said. Carter glanced at the ame, thrust the card savagely into his pocket. All right!" he said. At that moment an Italian officer stepped from the door of the cafe and walked quickly up to the table where —— 18 . ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH MONDAY.

He made his way to the moun- tain through the thick trees and brush and came upon Freda sitting by the door of her mother's cave. “Tell me the way out of this forest, my pretty lass.“ said the Prince, and I will give you a bag of gold. When Frieda lifted her eyes to his he fell in love with her, for her eyes were as blue as the sky and her face as fair as a blush rose; her hair was like spun gold and hung in ringlets over her shoul- ders, falling below her waist “Buch beauty as this should grace a palace. thought the Prince. “It should not be buried in this place “Oh, go away from here as fast as ever you can,” said Frieda. M mother ‘ land my sisters will be back any minute, and I would not answer for what might happen if they knew you had gold with you. “I do not want your gold, but if you follow this path around the mountain you will come to an open place on the other side.“ But the Prince could not keep away from the beautiful girl, who had won his luve, and the next day he was on his way to the cave when he met Freda on the open side of the mountain. He brought Freda a beautiful dress and a bracelet of jewels, and told her that every day he would come to the same place if she would be there. My mother is a witch and she will surely do us both harm if she finds out I am meeting vou, said Freda. Please Keep away. It can only bring harm to both of us.” 4 ‘af your mother is a witch, then I must get a fairy to help us.“ said the Prince; for at my birth a fairy came to my mother and gave her this pearl and told her to give it to me when I was old enough to care for it. “This pearl has the magic power to become anything I wish for and dis- appear at my command. Here we will have.a castle which shall disappear whenever anyone comes near it but ourselves, and in it we will live until I can tell my father I have married the girl I love best in the world.” Then the Prince threw the pearl on the ground and wished, and there be- fore her eyes stood a beautiful marbdle castle. : — * That day they were married. and every day after that the Prince came to the castle. and Freda would get away from her three sisters and mother roam through the beautiful rooms her new bome. 4 for they had noticed that each day she went around the mountain. They crept after her, and to their surprise they saw the beautiful cas- tle and saw her enter it. They ran home to tell their mother, and all of them ran around the moun- tain, but when they came up to the castle to tnalr surprise it disappeared, and there they saw standing under a tree Freda and the Prince. As the castle disappeared it warned them, of course, that someone was near, but the old witch changed her daughters and herself into trees, for she knew well that a magic power of some sort had caused the castle to disappear, and she wanted to watch without being seen. Freda did her Prince go0odby, quickly running around the moun- tain to her home, and soon her mother and her three sisters came back. Ttrey did not question Freda, but the next day they watched her again and saw her enter the castle and saw the Prince ride up on his beautiful white horse. : It did not take the old witch long to discover that Freda's lover was a Prince, and she decided that one of her pet daughters should have him for a husband. It would not have mattered to the old witch if She had known that Freda was married to the Prince, as she knew the magis art of the witches and could change things to please herself. There was just one thing that the old witch could not have power over and that was a pearl that belonged to a fairy, but it had heen many years since she had heard of the fairy or the pearl, and the old witch had long since forgotten it, for she ‘thought the pearl had been lost, and One day her asters watched den mm « .go the fairy had lost her power, se She feared nothing. One day when Freda went to meet her husband the old witch crept after her and changed her into a tree. Then the witch sent her daughter to meet the Prince and give him a drink of water from an enchanted cup, which would make him blind to the ugly looks of the witch girl and make him fall in love with her. This she did, for the Prince was passing a stream of water and had just dismounted for a drink when the witch girl came along and offered him her cup. ‘ To his surprise when he again looked at the girl she appeared to be very beautiful, though he had thought her ugly before he drank from the cup. Poor Freda had gone entirely from his mind, and the witch girl led him toward the castle, thinking he surely would have power to make the castle remain at his bidding. But the castle remained only when no one but the Princesand Freda were near, as the Prince had wished, so when the witch girl approached the castle it faded from sight. The Prince stooped and picked up something on the ground as he came up to the place where the castie had stood and instantly he saw the ugly witch girl, for the thing he picked up was the big pearl, and no one but the one to whom it belonged had power to see it. “Begone, you ugly creature,” he cried, throwing the pearl at the witch girl. “May you become a toad.” Instead of the witch girl that stood before them a minute before an ugly toad hopped along the path around the mountain.
