SECRET MEETING HELD Two Negroes, One an Attorney and the Other a Detective, Held Without Charges. The East St. Louis Chamber of Com- merce today, at a meeting attended by 7 business men, adopted a resoidticn appealing to law-abiding negroes, who hase fled from Fast St. Louis because of the massacre of 21 negrves there Mon. 1 day afternoon. and evening, to return to their places of employmeut. The prom- ise is made that they will be protectei, no matter how man. militiamen it takes to give such protection. The meeting also voted to appoint a committee on law enforcement, which is instructed to Jerard a reorganization of the Police and Fire Departments, both of which are declared to be “ut- ter'y ineffective.”” A committee .a prosecutions was formed, and this com- mittee decided to call on Attorney-Gen- eral Brundage for help. Rumor as to Moliman. Only members of the organization were admitted to the meeting. Some of those who attended said afterward tha: speakers advocate] asking for Mayor Moliman’s resignation, but no official action was taken on this suggestion. ‘The number of law-abiding negroes who have left the city, and whose return there is. now desired, was estimated in the text of the resolution as 3000. The greater part of these are in or near St. Louis, where they have taken refuge in negro neighborhoods, or in the munici- pal lodging house, The resolution states that there is now “absolute security," and that Illinois trvops can handle the situation without the need of Federa) ~ the commanders of the French tleet of submarine chasers, which joined his command at the _ specified point.

In order to discount the value of the knowledge in the public possession the flotilla delayed several days at a ren- Gezvous, so as to deceive theenemy on the probable date of arrival. The suggestion that someone in the Government service was responsible for the information redching Berlin was dis- counted completely by the fact that none except Secretary Daniels and Ad- rriral Benson knew thé route te be fol- lowed. They did not pass this informa- tion to Secretary of War Baker or to the acting chief of staff, Maj. Gen. Bliss. As a result of the definite knowledge along these lines the Government is working on the theory that the approx- imate date of the sailing of the trans- ports was cabled or wirelessed from this country in a fake message either to Fpain or Sweden, from whence it was relayed to Berlin or that the German agents responsible for sending the in- formation acted through a representa- tive of some supposedly reputable Span- ish or Scandinavian business firm.

La ogee OG res : CHEER AMERICAN TROOPS IN PARIS Battalion Marching to Tomb of Lafayette Joined by French Soldiers From Trenches. FLOWERS IN City Decorated With American Flags—Poincare and Joffre Join in Ceremonies. PARIS, July 5.—A remarkable demon-, stration was accorded yesterday to the battalion of American soldiers. which marched through the streets of Paris and which was the center of a Fourth of July celebration in which Paris turned out a crowd which no American city ever surpassed for size, enthusiasm and profusion for the Stars and Stripes. Police authorities estimated that 1,900,- 000 persons must have seen the parade of the American troups, though July 4 was not a public holiday in France, und banks, the stock exchange, stores and factories were continuing operations as usual. Employers gave permission for employes to leave their work to see the American troops. Following ceremonies at the Hotel des Invalides, near the tomb of Na- poleon, the American soldiers, about to leave for their permanent training camp behind. the battle front, marched through the streets to the cemetery where Lafayette is buried. They were received with remarkable enthusiasm all along the route, flowers were strewn in their path and they were joined by; hundreds of French soldiers, some of them in bandages, who fell in from the sidewalks where thousands of Frencn soldiers on leave were gathered. Everywhere the American flag was flying from public buildings, ‘hotels and residences and from automobiles, caos and carts. Horses’ bridles and the lapels of pedestrians’ coats carried them. The crowd began to gather early at vantage points. Rue de Varenne was choked I6tig before 8 &. m. when the Republican Guards’ band exe- cuted a field reveille under Major- General -Pershing’s windows and all routes toward the Invalides were thronged, even before Pershing’s men turned out. , About the Court of Honor, where the Americans were drawn up with a detachment of French territorials, the buildings overflowed with human- ity crowded to the roofs. All around the khaki-klad men from the United States were trophies and souvenirs of war-German cannon, airplanes, ma- chine guns and many appliances for burning suffocating gas. Behind them in the chapel separating the Court of Honor from Napoleon's Tomb were German battle flags, trophies of the Marne and Alsace besides Prussian banners of 1870. Ceremony at Napoleon’s Tomb. There in the chapel before the tomb of Napoleon, Gen. Pershing re- ce'ved American flags and banners from the hands of President Poin- care. Almost the entire history of the struggles of the French against the Germans looked down upon the scene from paintings portraying her- oic incidents Charlemagne to Napoleon. There was a sharp contrast between the khaki and plain wide-brimmed hats of Pershing’s men and the gay Cress of D’Artagnan's plumed musketeers and Napoleon's grenadiers. . The enthusiasm of the vast crowd reached its highest pitch when Gen. Pershing, escorted by President Poin- care, Marshal Joffre and other high French dignitaries passed along, re- viewing the Americans, drawn up in square formations. Cheering broke out anew when the American band struck up “The Marseillaise’ and again when the French band played the “Star Spangled Banner” and Pershing received the flags from the President. “Vive les Americans; vive Persh- ing; vive les Estats Unis,” were shouted over and over by the crowd greeted the American standard bear- ers as they advanced. The crowd that had waited three hours to witness the ceremonics that were over in fifteen minutes surged toward the exit cheering frantically after the departing Americans and trying to break through a cordon of police troops: Outside a greater crowd that covered the entire es- planade of the Invalides took up the cheers as Pershing’s men marched away. Eater Court of Honor. When the 230th Regiment of the French Territorials with its band escorted the battalion picked from the regiments of United States infantry into the court of honor, the court and; corridors of the Invalides resounded with the prolonged accalamation of the company of massed spectators tha: left just room enough for the troops te form a hollow square. Standing in the center were descend- ants of sold‘urs of the American Revolu- tion with “anicns in United States colors and the colors of a Major-General of the inited States army—a flag of red ground with two silver stars—embroidered by French women, and American veterans who fought with the French in the war of 1870, with the flag of the American volunteers in the French Foreign Lega- tion.

GREAT AIRCRAFT PROGRAM One Measure Gives President #ower to Raise 75,000 Men Necded As Aviators by Draft. WASHINGTON, July 5.—The ‘ House Military Committee today began con- sideration of the bills to authorize the Government’s great aircrafi program as submitted by the War Department. One Dill calls for an initial appropria- tion of $639,000,000 of which $363,000,00 would be expended in the purchase <«f 22,625 aeroplanes and 45,20 engines and the remainder for the training of a large number of aviators and construction uf training camps. The other bill provides ‘*r organiza- tion and personnel and gives the Presi- dent power to raise the men needed by draft if necessary. Unofficial estimates put the number of men required at sbout 75,000. AMERICAN TRANSPORT AIDS IN DRIVING OFF SUBMARINE Fires With Land Batteries on U-Boat Which Bombards Ponta del Gada, the Azores, LISBON, July 6.—An American trans- rort joined in the firing at the German submarine which bomba Ponta del Gada, the Azores, yesterday, says an official announcement by the Portu- guese Minister of Marine.

The gross totai of registered cars, including commercial cars, was 3,512,996; the number of mo- tor cycles registered was 250,320. The several states collected in regis- tration and license fees, including those of chauffeurs and operators, a total rev- enue of $25,865,30.75. Of this amount 92 per cent, or $23,910,811, was applied di- rectly to road funds of 43 states, ac- cording to figures compiled by the Of- fice of Public Roads of the U. 8. De- partment of Agriculture. The figures for 1916 correspond very closely with the annual percentage in- crease of motor car registration of the last three years. This yearly increase has averaged 4 per cent in the number cf cars and SO per cent in revenues. In 1906 the total state registrations were approximately 48,000 cars, on ac- count of which the several states col- Iccted in fees and licenses a gross rev- enue of about $190,000. Only a small tart of this was applied to road work. In 1916 the $25,865,369.75 collected formed nearly 9 per cent of the total rural road and bridge revenues of the states. DERNBERG GIVES HIS IDEAS ON CONDITIONS OF PEACE Former Propagendiat in U. S. Opposes the Annexstion of Beigitum and Ore Fields of France. COPENHAGEN, July &—Dr. Bernard Dernberg, who for a time directed Ger- man propaganda in the United States and who left New York May 16, 1915, gave his ideas on the necessary condi- tions of peace during an address at a convention of the Radical party of Schleswig-Holstein. Dr. Dernberg rv- jected the idea of the annexation of Beigium. though unopposed to the par- tition between Fleminss and Walloon: and_to the exaction of guarantees to prevent another Power obtaining great- er influence there than Germany. Dr. Dernberg said the annexation of parts of France like the Longwy ar! Briey ore fields was no: desired, a)- though corrections of the frontier found necessary by the military authorities did not exclude concessions in Alsace- Lorraine, in Dr. Dernberg’s mind, while the conditions to be demanded in the east depended on developments in Rua- sia. The former Colonial Secretary ad- vanced as a concluding demand the restoration of all German colonies with such additions as contemplated in the Anglo-German negotiations of 1914 an! the abandonment by the entente of the program of a Paris economic confer- ence.

He also denied that he had any |) conference or agreement with Represent- | ative Farris in this connection. The prosecuting authorities would also | like to have more light from Cummins on his assertion that he proposed that after paying Crites $5000 of the police collection he would lay the remaining $8009 on Police Chief Young's desk. In his statement Cummins said he made this proposition to Young, and Young made no comment. The Chief has de- / Clared there was no truth in Cummins’ statement as to him. Attorney-General McAllister will not ieturn to St. Louis until this evening und nothing definite as Cummins will be done until tomorrow. Cummins’ Own Story. Cummins’ story, as told to prosecuting authorities Tuesday, and as published in the Post-Dispatch after he had decided to go before the Grand Jury, was, in substance, that he discussed the ' collection of $8 each from policemen with ' Chief Young in the Chief's private office before proceeding, as a representative of the Police Relief Association, to collect the money. He went to the Chief, he said, last December, and asked for permission to collect $2 fromfeach man who would be benefitted by the salary raise, and at the same time he reminded the Chief that the amount thus raised would not . be enough. In this connection he quoted | Chiet’Young as saying: ‘‘That is all you can collect now. When you need more we will get it.’ Cummins said he told the Chief the men..would all willingly give $10, $12 or ., $15, the plan being for each to give the amount of one month's raise., and that ' in reply to this the Chief said $10 or $15 , contributed to further the salary in- crease bill would be “a good invest- ment.”’ He said he told Chief Young he would ay $5000 of the money. to an attorney whom he had engaged to promote the bill’® passage and he would lay the re- i mainder of the collection, about $8000, on Chief Young's desk. Chief Young, he said, made no comment on this proposi- ticn, Saya Chief Sanctioned Pian. After the bill was passed, Cummins said, he went to Chief Young and told him he was going to proceed with the collection and the Chief replied: ‘Al! right.” He then started to make the coliec- tion at police headquarters and Centra! District, but. it was halted by news- paper ptblicity. He did this with no attempt at secrecy, he said, and Detec- tive Chief Allender passed by and saw him collecting money from detectives. Cuminins said he had agreed to pay Joe Crites, a Rolla attorney, $5000 to promote the bill. Of this dmount, he said, $285) was paid before the biil passed and $718 after its passage. The second payment included $68 collected from the men on the $8 collection before pub- Heity stopped it. Cummins denied ha ever had any agreement or conference with Represontative Farris with refer- ence to the salary bill. Denial by Chief Young. Chief Young today to a Post-Dis- patch reported amplified his stato- ment of Tue®fay denying vee rma story as it affected him. “I do not believe that Cummins will darz to repeat under oath the state- ments he ts alleged to have made about: me,” said the Chief. “Cum- mins’ reference to me was a damnable lie. . “One® afternoon last November Secretary Espy of the Police Board walked into my office and informed me that the Executive Committee of the lice Relief Association was then 4iscussing the rais'ng of a fund to pay for the passage of a bill "granting members of the force an HN 6imerease im salary.

There is trouble and sorrow with- out and within this land of Rous mania. Death in all forms is sweep- ing over the country, sword, flame, ‘invasion, hunger and sickness.

"Jassy, Rumania, April 6. an also informed them that only a nom- inal sum, sufficient to defray legiti- mate expenses, should be collected. “About 20 minutes later a subcom- mittee from the executive body called at my office and submitted a written application addressed ; to the Police Board requesting permission to raise ‘a fund.’ Objected to First Letter. “I objected to the phraseology and in- structed the committee to specify the amount they wished to collect. They re- tired to the association room and re- turned a few minutes Jater with a re- vised application setting forth that “an amount not exceeding $2 per man’’ was to be raised. I permitted that commun- ication to go te the Board and was pres- ent and discussed it with the Commis- sioners. when the application was granted. “About 11:30 o’clock on the night pre- ceding the first newspaper publica- tion about the raising of a $13,000 slush fund a reporter telephoned to me at my home and told me he had information that the patrolmen had been asked to vontribute $8 in addition to the $2 they had already subscribed to the fund that was permitted by the Police Board. I told the reporter that I did not believe it and added that if such a thing. were true the men collecting the fund would get into trouble. “The next morning as soon as ! reached my office after having read an account of the raising of the slush fund I summoned Cummins and showed him’ the article. , “"s that true:' I asked him. *“ ‘Not a word of it, Chief,’ he re- plied,, ‘It is a fake from start to finish.’ “I ordered Cummins to make a writ- ten report, which he did. He had just left my office after making a written denial of having any knowledge of any fund other than that sanctioned by the Police Bpard when I was informed that Patrolman McCormack of the Central District had collected part of the for- bidden fund. I sent for McCormack and he told me that the information was correct. When I asked him how much he had collected he referred to a memo- randum in his cap. I asked him what he had done with the money he had col- lected and he replied that he had turned it over to Cummins Called Cummins in Again. “I again sent for Cummins and told him in the presence of McCormack what the latter had said. He replied that he had not received any money from Mc- Cormack. ““*How about that, asked. "I gave the money to Cummins,’ said. “*T did not receive a penny from him,’ was Cummins’ only comment. ; “I then ordered both men to make written reports of the interview and later I turned those report: over to President Mansur of the Police Board. After consulting with Mr. Mansur I went to the asagciation office and suspended Cummins. . “That is the entire substance of | my dealings with Cemmins tn regard to the salary fund. Perhaps hés statements about me have been in- spired by others. I do not know. I do say, though, that Cummins has lied.” LOSS OF THEIR NEGRO LABORERS HANDICAPS EAST ST, LOUIS PLANTS Ceatinued From Page One. inquiry on behalf of the Federal army authorities. Col.

Dickson, when asked by a Post-Dispatch reporter what in- structions the militiamen had as to the use of their guns, said the men were ordered to use any means necessary to preserve order. He would not say, in so many words, that the men had been or- dered to fire on rioters, but he said there were only two classes—the law-abiding and the lawless—and that it was the duty of the soldiers to keep lawless per- sons in check. He said earlier that the militia would remain not only as long as is necesgary to restore order, but until the safety of ail persons, black and white, is made secure. Col. Stephen O. Tripp of the Adjutan‘- General's office, who was in charge of the treops Monday, showed the reporte: records of the time of arrival of each company. By these records it appeared that 229 officers'and men were in East St. Louis Monday evening,’ these being members of Corrpanies FE, B, I, @ and H of the Fourth Regi- ment. He said that, from 1:30 p. m. Monday, when the killings began, he kept calling: for more troops, and thst they were sent as soon as it was posai- ble to get the men together in the dif- ferent towns. The first companies which came were called together hur- riedly, and lacked many of their mezra- bers for this reason. Col. Tripp would not diseuss Mayor Moliman's statement that he had ad- vised Gov. Lowden not to place the city under martial law, or other mat- ters bearing on the way in which the Situation was handled by the troops on hand Monday. -It is understood that he is preparing a report to his superior officers.

One of these drownings occurred at Black Bridge, and one below the Broadway viaduct Thirty of Negroes Buried. Thirty of the negroes were buried yes- terday in the St. Clair County Cemetery, without burial ceremonies, Besides the 31 negroes now accounted for as dead, three white men were killed Monday evening, and another, William Keyser, was killed by a white rioter’s stray bullet earlier in the day. This count does not inciwde the two detec- tives, Coppedge and Wodley, whose deuths were caused by wounds inflicted by negroes the night before. The inquest into the deaths of the negroes has been deferred until next Monday. At that time the St. Clair County grand jury will also meet in Belleville, and State’s Attorney Schaum- leffel has said that it will take up tne inquiry into the slaughter of negroes, but possibly not bcfore the following week.

No clashes between the strikers and miners remain- ing at work have occurred. Operators at Bisbee were con‘ident that the strike soon would be over.

John Schmoll, Director of Public Wel- fare, said that since rioting began the municipal lodging-house has housed and fed approximately 7500 negroes. To take care of the negroes coming into the city an annex tw the municipal lodging house has been opened at 2622 Market street, a vacant store building, in which benches have heen placed. Out of about 7500 negroes examined 2500 have been vaccinated at the lodging house. “The biggest problem we have,”’ Schmoll said, ‘is finding employment for the negro men. Most of them are nerv- ous and unstrung; really in no condition to work. The Provident Association and the Red Cross Society are helping us to handle the situation. None of the ne- groes, men or women, want to go South,”’ Member of Illinois Defense Council Discusses East St. Louis Riots. CHICAGO, UL, July 5.~The race riots in, Kast St. Louis are laid at the feei ef unscrupulgus manipulators of labor by Victor Olander of the Illinois Fed- eration of Labor and a member of the Illinois Council of Defense. The gsol.'- tion of the trouble, he says, will be reached when the: negroes organize themselves for protection of their in- terests. Olander points out that the report of the labor Committee of the Illinois Council of Defense of their investiga- tion of the situation in East St. Louis makes plain that the presence of 60% to 15,000 negro immigrants, in addition to the 10,000 or more permanent negro residents of the town, created a vast surplus of laborers. For months, according to the report, anonymous advertisements had been ap- pearing in newspapers circulated amons Southern negroes urging immigration to East St. Louis and promising em- ployment and high wages. There wer? jobs for only a portion of them, yet the advertisements continued to appear and the influx increased. The negroes over. ran the negro quarters and encroached on white residence districts. Exodus of Neroees Cripples Packing and Industrial Plants. East St. Louis packing houses and other industrial plants were badly crippled today because of the exidus of negro laborers. At the Swift Packing Co, plant ‘559 men out of a total of 2600 failed to report for work. Of the missing men 400 are negroes. At the other. plants the conditions were similar. Of the 600 employes of the Commercial Acid Co., 500 were missing. Most ‘of these are black. More than 10 negroes were missing from the Aluminum Con- pany of America. At all the other plants employing negroes there was a similar shortage. The packing companies and the Com- mercial Acid Co. reported that the ne groes were slowly returning. Manager Cc. B. Fox of the Aluminum company, said, however, that negroes were still drawing their pay and leaving. Final Kaneas Gas Decree.

The head of every spectator was un- covered precisely at 9 o'clock, when the American bana struck up the Marseil- laise. The simultaneous appearance of President Poincare, Gen. Pershing, Gen. Joffre, American Ambassador Sharp and other dignitaries, was the signal for tre- mendous cheering. Impressive silence prevailed when the fanions and flags were presented to the American troops. Gen. Pershing was apparently moved. Gen. Noix, Governor of the Invalides, re- ceived the ‘lag of the American Foreign Legion for the War Museum. The Colonel commanding the Amer- ican batallion advanced and saluted President Poincare. The cheering broke.out again as President Poin- care shook hands with the membefs of the official party as the troops began to file out of the Court of Honor. An airplane’ circling overhead fol- lowed the line of march. Thousands of French soldiers on leave weré along the route. Hundreds of peo- Ple rushed forward to shake hands with the American troopers. Other hundreds of French soldiers in trench work uniforms, stained and dingy, joined the marching troops. Some wore bandages on their hands and others had their arms in slings. Children threw flowers in. front of the marching Americans and flowers were tossed from ng sidewalks and windows. They weré caught by the American soldiers who stuck them in their rifles or their belts. The people called out effectionate- ly: “Sammies,” and “Teddies.” The name Teddy became tuddenly popu- lar as an expression of good will perhaps because it is easily pro- nounced b:; the French. Thousands of Children Cheer. Children from the primary schools were given the best places. Along tlie Avenue Daumesnil there were thousands of them calling ‘‘Teddy, Teddy, Teddy,” and throwing flowers. The Americal soldiers smiled and waved their hands at the children. French military men frequently com- mented on the soldierly eppearance of the American soldiers. The mounted Republican Guard joine? the escort near the @ity hall, where the parade was reviewed by the Municipal Council. Gen. Pershing and his sta‘f were ‘received ‘there at the same time. The crowds were enormous. At Picpus Cemetery, where Gen. La- fayette is buried, the American -troops passed through the arched gateway tv the old convent, where they rested in the large garden. In the little burial ground adjoining’ were gathered 300 or 400 persons, including leading Amer- icans and Frenchmen. q H. Cleveland Coxe, as delegate of the Sons of the American Revolution from the Einvire State Society, placed a wreath on the slab above the grave of Lafayette. Ambassador Sharp, Brand Whitlock, Minister to Belgium, Painleve, French War Minister and Col. Stanton, the latter representing Gen. Pershing made addresses, Gen, Pershing, who occu- pied one of the few seats about the tomb, said: “IT had intended to say nothing but I feel so deeply the significance of this occasion that I do not desire it to pass without some expression on my part.”’ Gen. Pershing spoke earnestly of the cetermination of the American people and the American Government fighting niongside their allies in Europe to maintain the just cause of liberty. His remarks were received with tremend- ous cheering. Americans Go to Camp. The American soldiers later marched to their barracks near by and remained until evening when then they departed quietly for their training camps. In celebration of Independence Day restaurants throughout Paris put dishes uggesting America on their bills of fare, such as chicken a la Wilson, Independ- ence Cake, Turbot Lafayette, American cream soup and peaches Rochambeau.

Joffre on either side, and stepped out on the balcony while the crowd wildly cheered the two Generals. Speaking at the luncheon, Premier Ribot dwelt on the significance to the world of the American revolution and attitude of the United States through- out the present war. He concluded by saying: “The peoples who are actors and spectators of of this gigantic struggle know that our cause and that of our allies is the cause of justice. That is why the celebration of the Fourth of July has taken on such a character this year. Before today it was a fete of the independence of the United States. It has become a fete of the indepen- dence of all nations.” Walter Berry introduced the premier in an eloquent eulogy of France. Am- bassador Sharp in his address pointed out particularly the unity of the Amer- ican people in this war, West as weil as Bast. Gen. Pershing proposed the health of the French army, which was drunk standing. Press Helps te Celebrate. The French press observed the day by filling many columns with articies, photographs and cartoons giving, every imaginable kind of information in re- gard to American customs and nistory. The Petit Parisien prints in large type, under the double-column heading ‘Vive lAmerique,”” the sentiments expressed by Gen. Pershing, Ambassador Sharp, Marshal Joffre, Premier Ribot, Rene Viviani, Minister of Justice; Paul Pain- leve, Minister of War, and others.

May that peace be such that no autocrat can ever trouble it.’’ Marshal Joffre says: “I am convinced “This | It also marks the entry of the, the United States will send a great army ty our front, to be a formidable adver- sary for the Germans.” M. Painleve quotes the celebrated let. ter’ from Lafayette to Washington at the time of the siege of Yorktown, and draws a parallel between events then and now. Premier Ribot’s contribution reads: “In celebrating this anniversary of American independence we give more than a sign of the friendship which has beund us so long to the great American nation. We show our gratitude and admiration for the role the United States has just arsumed, in bringing the invincible strength of its disinterested aid to the cause and civilization.

AIRPLANES AND THEIR PARTS TO BE GIVEN LABORATORY TEST Aeronautics Advisory Committee Closes Contract for Plant Near Hampton, Va. WASHINGTON, July 5.—National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics has closed a contract for the erection of a research laboratory on Langley Fick, near Hampton, Va. At this laboratory, in addition to the usual structural tests on airplanes and airplane parts, scientific research pe- culiar to aeronautics will be conducted under the supervision of the commit- tee. Instruments are being designed for use on airplanes to measure the vari- ous quantities which enter into the per- formance of a plane when in free flight. In particular these measurements will include the thrust developed by the pro- pefler, the power absorbed and the rev- ofutions, also the various movements made by the control levers and the re- salting motions of the plane, include reiling, yawing, pitching and likewise the attitude of the plane as a whole in relation to the horizontal. A wind tunnel of the Eiffel type will be erected for model tests on airplanes, surfaces and propellers. Having the re- suits of tests on models and full-sized surfaces, it will be possible to more ac- curately determine the laws by means of whieh results from model tests may te applied to full-sized machines and surfaces.

States the Kiel Useless—A BRIGADIER-GENERAL GEORGE O. ORVILLE WRIGHT, The following interviews with Orville Wright, Brigadier-Geneval George O. Squier, who, as chief HEN Orville Wright, inventor oft the flying W ‘hine and the first mar. in the world to fly asked to express his opinion as to the probable effect of an €fficient carrying out of the Aircraft Pro- duction Board’s plan for an appropriatior o: $630,000,000 for °".000 airplanes anc thousands of aviators, he replied that, as the war was now being run absolutely from above, the United States could win it in the air. Ten thousand flying machines, he said, would end the war in ten weeks. “It is my opinion,” he said, “that a fleet is the way to stop the war. for the United States to deliver tomorrow several thou- sand flyin. machines in France, the -var woull be won b~ the Allies in a few weeks. . The way ‘to stop the war is simply to drive the Germans from the skies, and this can be done only by a preponderance of fighting ma- chines. By fighting machines I mean little airplanes car- rying one man and a rapid-fire machine gun, Small Airplanes Needed in Great Numbers. “When the Germans have been driven out of the air, the Allies will be supreme and the war will end. To do this we need a great number of small ajrplanes of the sort that-~ have successfully chased the Sonera At present the difference between five years or more of war and an early victory for the allies is ten thousand airplanes. “How long the war will last depends therefore on the capacity we show fn coping with the very great prob- lem of producing without unnecessary delay the smal) fighting machines .eeded at the front. The Allies long since obtained control in the air, but their present ad- vantage in this respect falls short of being an over- whelming superiority. “We have the industria] plants which could soon be adapted for the turning out of airplane motors. We have the men to supervise the industry, the inventive genius to adapt and improve upon the developments that have Leen made abroad, and, now that we are as- sured of the money to pay for the labor and-.material, there seems no reason to doubt that in a year hence we will have sent abroad thousands of fighting airplanes that will be better than anything yet prcduced.” “Do you think that it would be possible and expedient to tempt to blow up Germany's submarine bases with bombs dropped from airplanes?” Mr. Wright was asked. “That would not stop the war,’’ he replied. “Suppose you did blow up the submarine bases, suppose you sunk every submarine today-—-that would not end the war. It would mean ease of mind for England, of course, be- cause of the freedom from fear of a lack of food, but the German Army would still be as strong as ever on the western front. “T have never considered bomb-dropping as the most important function * the airplane, and I have no rea- son to change this opinion now that we have entered the war. The situation -hows that, as a result of the flying machines’ activities, every opposing General knows ;reeisely the strength of his enemy and precisely what he is going to do. Thus surprise attacks, which for thousands of years have determined the event of war, are no longer possible. When the United States sends enough airplanes abroad to bring down every German airplane that attem»ts to ascertain the disposition of the armies of the allies—literally sweeps from the heavens every German flying machine—the war will be won, because it will mean that the eves of the German gunners have been put out. “It is probable that Germany can be whinped without airplanes if we take time enough. But in that case five years would find us still at the job. To accomplish the destred end as soon as possible, the United States must be able to equip the allies, between now and a year from,now, with a vast air fleet. It is, by the way, the one thing that the United States can do and do quickly. 10,000 Airplanes Preferred to 1,000,000 Men. “If, for instance, we could have 10,000 machines at the front tomorrow morning it would be far more effective than sending, if we were able, 1,000,000 men. If we could drop 1000 airplanes and aviators over there today, everybody in Germany would know before night that we were there.” “We are bringing over .o this country foreign motors which have stood up . gainst the rigors of war usage, and these will be duplicated here. Our plants, when the propér adjustments are made, will be able to make quick- } the motors needed for our battleplanes.- “One of our biggest tasks in this country is going to be the taking over of the business of schooling aviators assigned to the battle fronts. This will enable‘the for- eign factories to give their full time to manufacturing airplanes. Teaching aviators will not interfere with the evork of our Government in assembling the machine for which the money will be appropriated.” “Do you think that with such a large fleet of flying machines as it is contemplated for this country to send abroad it will be possible to devastate Germany by fly- ing over it?” Mr. Wright was asked. was large airplane “When this country has sent abroad an immense air fleet it may not be practicable, even though it were pos- sible, to cover the entire German nation and destroy it with dynamite bombs. This would mean flights of at least five hundred miles, or one thousand miles counting the return trip. This, of course, woul] require a great quantity of ammunition and equipment. I mean by this that when the end of the journey was reacl.ed there would scarcely be enough ammunition aboard to justify the long flight. German Gunners Would Be Blinded. “But there is one thing that could be done to the very great disadvantage of the German Government. Essen, the site of the Krupp gén works, is only about 150 miles from the present line of battle. This could be reached, bombarded, and put outiof business. Raids could be con- ducted against other business and population centers in Western Germany, producing upon her irreparable injury | ma- | If it were possible» beside the mark. SQUIER. coinventor with his late brother Wilbur of the aeroplane, aid of the U. S. service, are reproduced from the New York Times by ‘+pecial arrangement. Signal Corps, is head of the American aviation (¢ T is the new dier-General George ©, Squier. Chief signal Officer of the Army, the particular new thing he has dn mind as the agency for winning the present war is the use of airplanes in such numbers that they will be invincible, that all the interior transportation and other. vital resources of Germany for continuing the war will at the mercy of the allies, that Kiel itself Will cease tube the safe refuge of the enemy fleet. To say that the airplanes is not new, that it was a practical thing long before the beginning of the war,.is The newness is in quantity. Gen. Squier speaks of airplanes for the purpose he has in mind in about the same numerical terms that soldiers of the past used to speak of troops. There was a time when reference to 100,000 infantry seemed big. Well, they have talked about 100,000 airplanes in recent Con- gressional debates as the number America needs to do her part in the war, and the pending bill calls for an appropriation of $630,000,000 for the building of air- craft. There is certainly something new about that. Refuses to Give Specific Figures. Gen. Squier will not use specific figures himself, but the motto which, figuratively speaking, he has hung all over the walls of. the neadquarters of the Signal Corps at the War Department is, “Enough planes to defeat Germany.” “Just how many that will be,’ he said, “depends pri- marily on Germany. Von Hindenburg has as much as anybody else, perhaps more, to do with the formulat- ing of our plans. We cannot have any specific plans that may not have to be changed any day. That is the difficult thing for me to make clear to the loyal and patriotic business men who are standing by ready to help us in manufacturing. They are men who deal in enormous quantities, and they are accustomed to pre- dict the needed quantity o. output for normal peace op- erations a long way in advance, but we cannot do that in war. We must be ready to make quick shifts, ready at any time to assume all the responsibility for appear- ing inconsistent. A soldier who cannot reverse himself from day to day, if necessary, is not fit for his job. in the present war, Germany ha; -confronted the Allies with innovations against which we have been fighting in the conventional way. First she astounded the world with the big guns that tore down the Belgian forts, forts that would have been impregnable against any other type of weapon. Then came her Zeppelins, against which the Allies had nothing to oppose success- fully, and then the U-boat. Germany had the big new things, plus all the conventional agencies of warfare. “But our turn has come. Millions of men have been dicging themselves into the earth. Submerged boats have been destroying our ships, and the world is ata deadlock. The possibilities of the two long familiar ele- ments, earth and water, seem to have become exhausted. But there is the third element, the air, which has dis- tinct qualities that the others do not possess. Possibilitie ses of Air Fighting Unlimited. “To | develop all the possibilities of fighting from the air in this present war will be America’s great part. Europe is war weary and exhausted. The person- nel of our allies for the most effective military aviation has been used up, killed in the infantry, cavalry, and artillery. I mean the young men between nineteen and twenty-five years of age—the period of life when men are at their best for aerial work. In Germany this class of personnel has certainly been exhausted. So it re- mains for us, coming in with a fresh viewpoint, to end this thing the first possible minute. “Nothing else counts. ‘Saving a week of this war would be cheap at any price. And the United States, alone, can make this contribution to her allies and the world. We can outman all the other countries involved, friends and foe, and we can surely outbuild them. so we should make this a great national plan to win, to make our contribution to the cause something that will be distinctly American in conception and in magnitude. And there must be promptness at any cost, for the sake of our own ‘people as well as for the people of Europe. To win quickly by the sheer weight of the number of our machines means the sending of the minimum num- ber of men of the United States to the trenches. Seven Months to Train Airmen. “We can train our men for actual war service in the air in seven months, comprising eight weeks of ground work and four months of flying at the training schools in this country and then a month of intensive battle- plane training work in France. I don’t know how many will be needed. That, again, depends upon von minden- burg. But we want enough to operate in regiments and brigades of necessary, to make all Germany unsafe, to force her to demobilize her air forces at the front and send the men and machines back to protect the cities. This will blind her artillery and render it helpless by depriving it of the range finders. Furthermore, our regi- ments and brigades will be abl: to destroy all of Ger- manv’s interior lines of transportation for the move- ment of troops and supplies. They will be able to rob the enemy fleet of the security it now enjoys at Kiel. An airplane can now carry and drop a thousand pounds of explosives. If that is not enough to sink a dread- nought, it certainly can disable her for three or four months, and then she can be disabled «gain in the way after repairs. We can make the Kiel Cana) useless. , “We will waste no time In experimenting with battle- plane devices of our own before we begin the work of construction. On the contrary, we will call our allies to furnish us with their best plans and specifica- tions, with which we can rush our building program.” thing that wins in war,” said Briga- As be “Now, in and same itself on impregnable. if once supremacy in the air, a through the Teuton lines don't you see, by do- the German gunfire the German line is practically you give the allies unchallenged way will be found to break and get in behind them Because, ing this the allies will have made “I am convinced that while, under existing conditions, | ineffective?” N CHINA: TROUPS BEING MOBILIZED Military Governor of Chi Li Pre- pares to Advance Upon Pekin.

Tuan Chi Jui, former Premier, has is- sued an eloquent denunciation of the Manchu restoration, accusing Gen. Hsun of overweening ambition and of committing crimes of inconceivable mag- nitude. Tuan Chi Jui charges that the General was betraying the Manchus themselves, who were favorably situat- ed until he, Tuan Chi Jui, interfered. Tuan Chi Jui said he had intended to remain in retirement, but saw that the Manchus were being used as catspaws for brigandage. Now he calls on all provinees to put out every ounce of strength to save China from Chang Hsun?

ee eee ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH SSS ———— How United States Army. Divisions Are Third Chapter of By JAMES M. HUTCHINSON, Lieutenant-Colonel Seventy-First New York Infantry. CHAPTER III. In one of Mr. Kipling’s jungle stories .there i@ recorded a conversation be- tween an Afghan chief and a-native officer of the British Indian army. The Afghan marveled at the precision of movement in the great review which was staged to impress the Ameer. “He saw ail sorts of troops and trains of all military descriptions goin; ‘through strange evolutions with certain precision. He could not understand It. The native officer explained that the elephant driver or the bullock ‘driver took orders from the private assigned _ to that duty. The_prfvate took orders from the Corporal, the Corporal from the Sergeant, the Sergeant from the ¢ompany officers, the company officers from the Major, the Major from the Colonel, the Colonel from the General, the General from the commander in chief, who got his orders from the viceroy, who obeyed “‘the Queen.’’ To all this the Afghan shook his head and observed that “it would never do with us,” or something to that effect— ‘that no Afghan chiefawould stand for that sort of thing. ‘That is why,” the native officer said, with a smile, ‘“‘our Ameer comes to take orders from our Viceroy.” Organization’s Certain Result. That is the ‘result of organiszation— thé triumph of the organized. The na- tive Indian officer understood this, and every American soldier should undcer- stand what organization means: [or that reason I will devote this chapter and the nhext to a discussion of army reorganization, so that every registered man who is called to the colors may have a clear and intelligent understand- ing of his own part in the great team work that must win the war. By “organization’’ we mean a descrip- tiof of the units into which the mili- tary forces are divided and their combi- nation into larger military units for the purpose of permanent administration. In the military scheme of the United States the division is the basis of army organization, administration and action. In practically all foreign armies this same unit, the division, is used as the basis by which all fighting forces are reckoned. In the newspaper accounts of the present fighting abroad, whether referring to events of the western front, vr the Russian or the Balkan, one reads that & certain number of German divi- sions are faced by a number of allied divisions. _The number of divisions is multiplied by 20,000 and the number of fighting men is roughly determined: In the American army the division is some- what stronger than 20,000. How U.S, Troops Are Divided. The troops composing a division are divided as follows: 1. Combatant Troops—Three brigades of infantry, one brigade of field artil- lery, one regiment of cavalry. 2. Technical Troops—One regiment of engineers, one battalion of _ signal troops. 3.. Sanitary Troops—Four ambulance companies, four field hospitals. 4. Trains—Ammunition, supply, sani- tary and engineer. In all armies the infantry is of ne- vessity the most numerous brancn, for thé infantry is the force which in the final analysis must win the fight, if the fight is to be won. No hostile position wan be won by fire alone. The position must be taken by the use of the bay- net, either actual or threatened. There- gore, the work of all the other branches Df the service is to co-operate with or to assist the infantry. » In figuring the relative strength of the Duxiliary branches the numbers are ziven = in proportions of infantry strength. The relative strength follows, approximate only: « For every 100 infantry there should tbe 75 cavalry, 3 guns (field artillery), @ machine guns, 60 engineers, 10 signal roops, & sanitary troops and 23 Quar- “ermaster Corps men. > The lessons of the present war are Jeading to constant changes in or- ‘ganization as well as to changes in “urmament and manner of fighting. yrhe above relation of the various “branches will serve as a guide. reg » The infantry is grouped itno brige- ‘udes, of which the division has three. ————— ae Made Up ‘Ooldier's. Guide’ Each infantry brigade is composed of three regiments, nine regiments to a division. A brigade of field artillery has been composed of two regiments, but recently a third regiment has been added. Two of the rigenients of field artillery are armed with the three-inch field piece. The third has the 4.7-inch howitzer. Only the infantry and the field ar- tillery have enough troops in the division to form brigades. The others have nothing larger than the regimental unit. . A regiment of infantry is composed of three battalions of four companies each, the “alphabetical companies” designated by letters. In addition, the regiment has three other com- panies not assigned to battalions. These three ‘companies are “special duty” men. 1. eHadquarters company, carrying the mounted orderlies, the noncom- missioned staff and the band. 2. The machine gun company, whose name explains its composition and duties. | 3 3. The supply company, made up of noncimmissioned staff concerned with the supplies of the regiment, and the drivers of the various wagons or trucks, or both. The strength of the “alphebetical companies” is normally 150 enlisted men. The special unit companies are smaller. Makeup ef Infantry Regiment. The total enlisted strength of a regiment of infantry is 2002 men, led, administered anc taken care of by 52 officers. In addition, there are attached four officers and 24 enlisted men of the sanitary troops. That means that there are four doctors, assisted by 24 hospital men, to take normal care of 2000 men. The organization of a cavalry regi- ment is similar to the infantry, though the names of the units differ somewhat. A regiment of cavalry consists of three “squadrons” of four “troops” each. It has also its spe- cial units, including a machine gun troop. The regiment has about 1300 men. The field artillery regiment is en- tirely different in its composition. It is composed of two battalions in- stead of the usual three. There are only three batteries to each battal- ion instead of the four of the others. The “battery” is the unit which cor- responds to the company and ehe troop of the other branches. A bat- tery has four guns, with its neces- sary caissons and wasons, thus giv- ing 12 guns to a battalion, 24 to a regiment and 72 to a brigade. The engineer regiment is organized like a field artillery regiment. The units® are called ‘“‘companies.” The signal battalion consists of but two companies. The division sanitary troops consist of four ambulance companies and four field hospitals. These are in addition to the sanitary troops or the officers and enlisted men of the sanitary es- tablishment, attached to regiments and the smaller special units. 83 Divisions in Army Corps. The unit next larger than the divis- ion is called the ‘‘army corps,” or the “field army.’’ While the field army is normally composed of three divisions, its composition is more elastic. More cavalry may be added to it in the shape of an extra brigade of cavalry. Or other units of the auxiliary or special troops may be assigned to it for special duties. These specially assigned troops, to meet some anticipated need, are usually caHed ‘field army troops.” Two or more field armies make an “army." The present war has intro- duced a name for a still larger unit, the ‘‘army group.” This is not a fixed unit, but is merely what its name im- plies, a grouping of armies under the command of one individual. Man Found Shot in Alley. Frank Cook, a pressman, 21 years old, of 1114 Buchanan street, was found in the alley behind 1429 North Ninth street at 11 o'clock fast night with a bullet wound in his abdomen. He told the police he had been shot by an uniden- tified man. He was taken to the city hospital. 7 OPPORTUNITY - WARNING OF DANGER IR PLANTING IMPORTED BEANS Offerings of Rangoon Seed Resembie ‘ Navy Sort, bat They Are Dangerous as Food, WASHINGTON, July 5.—It has come to the knowledge of the United States Department of Agriculture that certain shipments of beans from the Orient known as Burma and Rangoon beans have entered this country from Canaaa. They closely resemble the ordinary navy bean in appearance, but can be dis- tinguished by their light, yellowish col- or and the fine, distinct radiating lines passing out from the hillum or eye. They are pole beans of the Lima type and not suitable for planting in this country since they are of tropical ori- gin, and will not mature in the bean- growing states. They are not fit for hu- man food, since théy yield hydrocyanic acid in amounts which may be danzger- ous to the health of the people of the United States.

LONDON, July &—Owners Of dogs have protested against the war tax on dogs. In the mass meeting a resolution was adopted protesting against prohib- itive taxation, and setting forth that there is plenty of food, unsuited to hu- man stomachs. The resolution admitted that the breeding of dogs at this time should be discouraged. J. G. Swift MacNeill, M. P., told of a dog that feli overboard while crossing from England to Ireland.

DEMOCRAT AND LOYAL CITIZER Mentana Man Claims Exemption on That Ground. BILLINGS, Mont., July 5.—A ranch- er of Yellowstone County whose name has been withheld by County Clerk Wil- liams claims exemption from conscrip- tion on the grounds tha he is a ““Demo- crat and a loyal citizen.’’ Whether the man’s claim is based on the belief that because he is a member of the dominant political voted for Wilson, the party’s political pull should be exercised in his behalf, or whether the rancher’s demand is made through ignorance, Clerk Williams declares he is unaware. There is one thing certain, however, the official said, and that is that if the man’s name is among those drawn he will have to give better reasons for exemption to prevent being called to the cotfors.

Carpenter, the only one who spoke English, and Dan and Percy Per- ) kins, and a young squaw, Neohequay Carpenter, all from Deer River and vi- cinity. Carpenter explained to Eric L.

-_ | ) ' THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 5, 1917. ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 6 TRAFFIC. CONGESTION REMEDIES SUGGESTED Committee Favors Mounted Po-« licemen on Locust Street and Law Enforcement. Mounted policemen on/’Locust street, tom ‘Twelfth to Lindell Cut-off, to fesulate automobile traffic; the plac- tae of ali motor cycle policemen in uni- form, and all members of the police de- partment to be charged with enforce- ment of the traffic laws, are three recommendations to the Police Board made by a joint committee of the Chamber of Commerce, the Automobile *% Club and the Civic League, for more strict enforcement of existing ordi- nances. The committee believes new traffic ordinances.are advisable and that vigor- eus enforcement of present laws and fegulations is sufficient to solve traffic difficulties. Police Commissioner Fouke was pres- ént at the meeting, which was held July 1, and promised that the suggestions would be takei up at tomorrow's meet- ing of the Police Board. The committee thinks the police should indertake rigorous enforcement of the traffic ordinances in four phases of the law—parking, headlights, passing and evertaking street cars and muffler cut- @uta.- The committee says the law ‘n regard to parking is generally ignored; that blinding headlights are freely used; that many accidents result from reck- less driving around street cars taking on and discharging passengers, and that open cut-outs are not only unnecessary but are annoying. Ordinary patrolmen are seemingly disposed to leave the traffic protiem to the squad assigned to that service, the report says, and to accomplish effective: ly the enforcement of the traffic law all members of the police department should be required to give atténtion to traffic law violations. The committee believes that if motor eycle patrolmen in civilian attire were put in uniform, thus making their pres- ence known, more fare would be ex- ercised by automobile drivers. ’ from “Day” today—Anto Tiren. y Rubber Co., 415 N. 4th st. MAN HELD IN WELL FOR 39 HOURS BY COLLAPSED CURBING Pewerful Physique Enables Him to Resist Pressure While Rescuers Werk Unceasingly. SOLON SPRINGS, Wis., July 5.—After being imprisoned 39 hours in a well by the collapse of the curbing while he was working 30 feet from the surface, A. E. Greatichs, 39 years old, married, employed on the Robinson farm at Rock Lake, was rescued. . He is a powerful man, otherwise he would have perished. Greatichs was working alone on a plat- form replacing the curbing in the well when the curbing and sand began clos- ing in on him. | Three women, alone on the farm, hear- ing his cries, sent word to Solon Springs, Lake Nebagamon and other points fo. help. A crowd gathered early in the evening and tried varieus ways to rescue the imprisoned man, whose head was “Rot; covered, but whose body was fas- tened. By the light of bonfires the rescuers worked all night and continued the next merning digzing and putting in fresh curbing till they could extricate Great- ichs, Who appears to be little worse for his experience. $7.50-DETROIT - TOLEDO-$6 And return, Wabash.

CARROLLTON, Ill, July 6&.—"I know of no outrage perpetrated in the South that has equaled that at East St. Louis,” said Gov. Frank O. Lowden in an address here yesterday at the un- veiling of a monument to Thomas Car- lin. seventh Governor of Illinois. “We cannot wipe out the stain, but if the people of Illinois will get to- gether unitedly for law enforcement, such a thing will never be possible. There must be in every nation a su- preme power. In-a monarchy it is the king, but in a republic it is the law.” ‘I am not prepared at this moment to assign to any particular person the blame for that tragic affafr,”’ said the Governor. “It seems to me now, as I said last night, that at present we have but one duty and that is to restore peace and order to that afflicted community, and when we have accomplished this, then we may take up and ought to take up, the question of who is to blame “But I have been weighted down since I visited those hospitals last night; since I. saw those charred ruins of homes; since I saw the havoc this riot wrought, I have been weighted down as I have never been weighted down before. Because, my friends, I am proud of Illinois. I am proud of the it- lustrious roll of great names spread out upen the pages of sour history. A stain rests upon Illinois that was placed there this week—a stain that will remain. We Cannot erase it if we would. But Illi- nois, the State of Lincoln, Douglas, Oglesby, Carlin, Palmer and Baker ought not to have this stain resting upon it. “We in the North have been in the habit frequently of criticising our South- ern friends for their treatment of the j negro. I am going to be frank with you today and I tell you that I know of no outrages that have been perpetrate’ in the South that surpass the conditions I found in East St. Louis in our own beloved State.’’ Good Sugar Year for Java. BATAVIE, July 5.—The output of sugar in Java in 1916 amounted to 1,795,-~- 751 short tons, compared with 1,436,818 in 1915 and 1,580,092 tons in 1914. ER A tet _—_——_— or COCOANUT OIL FINE FOR WASHING HAIR If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos yontain too much alkali, This dries she —e makes the hair brittle, and 's very harmful. Just plain mulsified socoanut oil (which is pure and en- tirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can’t possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two tea- spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and sealp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and av bright, fluffy and easy to man- es eee ee eee "See can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last are in the family for months, ie 509 Washington _ Greater Values Than Ever 388 S UI T's SA CRIF ICED Ave. 86 “Blue Serge 72 Silk Jersey $22.50 pee WNP OO Gisch ssc cesbvisec and Gabardine Suits Suits worth up to 36 Silk Jersey Suits worth to $30 $13.75 Coats SILKJERSEY COA TS” $10 Silk Jersey Coats.... $20 and $22.50 Silk Jersey In Three Groups. $6.95 $8.95 $12.50 ‘€ "$4 ilk taffeta and foulard dresses, : 446 Dresses Sac tml Tents Supply Vows, Week-End Needs at Vandervoort’s Before One O ‘Clock Saturday — Items of Interest Crochet or Knit Army Sweat- era for the Firat Regiment— you will be doing “your bit” for our own boys.

Shepardson, Webster Groves, Lemonade atand, Tamm and Lloyd avenues 25 50 $1,035 18 -Little Misses Hannah and Alma Weis, assisted by Virginia Baugh and Freda Davidson, will give an entertainment for the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund this evening, on the lawn of the home of the first-named sisters, 765 Aubert avenue. The features will be songs, dances and recitations, for which the girls have been studiously preparing for some weeks under guidance of par- ents and other capable advisers. The numbers are to be interpreted in appro- priate costumes, made of paper and de- signed to enhance the beauty of the spectacle inewhich the pretty little folk will, of course, be the central figure. A recent splendid endeavor in behalf of the poor babies’ fund was that by seven pretty young misses and one boy, when a charming version of the chil- dren’s favorite creation, ‘‘Cinderella,’ was happily produced on the lawn of the home of one of the company, Helen Knetter. The environment had been made strikingly attractive by decora- tions and illumination, and the chil- dren were costumed in harmony with tha scene and the requirements of the play, which was interpreted with rare grace and beauty. The audience was sympa- thetic to a degree that strongly inspired the youthful performers and the eve- ning was highly enjoyable. The finan- cial outcome was $6.02. Those in the play were little Misses Vinetta Miller, Helen Knetter, Marian Brown, Catherine O’ Rourke, Irene Har'- ing, Margaret O'Rourke, Dorothy Brown end Master Herbert Becker.

A charming vaudeville show, includ- ing singing, dancing and/:several brign*¢ sketches,’ was produced by a group of talented children at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John McKenna, 999 Walton av- enue, grandparents of one ofthe chil- dren, and yielded $11. The sketches, which @licited frequeni applause, were “The Fairy Play,’ ‘‘Just Giris” and “Dr. Brown.” These were rounded out by the telling of jokes and the rendition of several s.ings. The lawn was beautifilly with bunting Japanese and the American flag was drape the specially built stage. were numerous electric lights.

Ele tolc hcw the wife of the peer working at the ‘side of the laborer’s daughter in the munition factories; an] in the fields. He explained how Englan‘ made many mistakes at the beginning of the war, particularly in not having cenjralized organization, which led to waste. Waste he found everywhere wm America. He told of the was menu at the Pilgrim's banquet at which Ambassador Pag’, the English Cabinet and many other notables were present. The only food served was a small cup of bullion, small piece of fish, a slice of chicken, a portion of cheese and one slice of war bread. “Every bit of waste is a sin and a he!r to the enemy,” he said.

REFORMS ARE DEMANDED —— Declared That They Must Come From Government or “From the Mob.” COPENHAGEN, July diers are not fighting out of loyalty the King, but for love of the Father- 5.—Saxon so}- to land and monarchical principle; Saxory is suffering sadly from ‘the misiakes of an incompetent bureaucracy, conditions have reached such a state that all parties in the Saxon Parlia- ment are forced seriously to warn the Government of the danger of this situa- tion, were the disagreeable deciarations which the Government was forced to hear from all parties except the Con- servatives in a debate in the Saxon Diet yesterday, a report of which has reached here. The discussion was on necessary in- ternal reform. The occasion for the debate was a Socialist resolution de- manding that the Government make an effort to secure liberal reorganization of the empire. After Count Vitzthun. Premier of Saxony, had declared on the contrary that the Saxon Government would fight any attempt to secure any franchise reform in individual states, through the Reichstag, Vice President of the House, himself an ex-soldier, flatly denied that loyalty to the King played any role with the soldiers. Supported by National Liberals. He warned Count Vitzthun against persisting in his reactionary attitude, saying that reform would come, if not from the Crown, then from the mob. Count -Vitzthun attempted to meet the storm with the old formula, devotion to the Crown, but even the national Lib- erals backed the Socialist. with identi- cal declarations regarding the senti- ment among the people. One Nationalist declared that, as a g00d loyalist, he could only hope and pray that warnings sent to the Govern- ment from all parties might reach the King. Another Nationalist said that the vast majority of Saxons were inspired by an utter lack of confidence in the Government, and that unless the Gov- ernment were able to rise to the emer- gency with the action demanded, he feared for the consequences. After the debate, almost unparalleled in a German Legislature since the days of 1848, the Diet adopted the Socialist resolution, the Conservatives alone dis- senting. New Prussian Demand for Reforma, The movement to obtain an equal elec- toral franchise in Prussia found cham- pions in unexpected quarters, Tuesday, when leading conservatives joined in « public declaration calling on the Govern- ment promptly to enact legislation in favor of election reform. Their call, which is an unequivocal indorsement of the agitation carried on by the Social Democrats for many years, bears the date of June 30. It reads: “The mighty struggle in*’ which the German people are now engaged is not yet ended. The undersigned until now have beenglargely of the opinion that the promise contained in the Im- perial Eastertide message for the elimi- nation of acriimonious internal strug- and gles might be fulfilled in collaboration with the conservative forces of our public life. However, the oppositidn emanating from these sources is so powerful as to call forth doubts wheth- er this Easter message, in its true spirit, can at all become a reality after the conclusion of peace. “Today such doubt is intolerable To keep that faith with the German people to which it is entitled it is need- ful to take this work in hand without further delay. We, therefore, do not hesitate publicly to emphasize the need of the hour, which demands of the Government that it forthwith lay before the Diet a draft of an election reforin which not only calis for a general direct secret ballot, but for an equal voting franchise for all; and, further, that the Government give effective visible ex- pression of the confidence to which the German people are entitled.” Conservative Signers. The call is sfgned by Prof. Hans Del- brueck, historian of the University of Berlin; Alexander Dominicus, Chief Magistrate of Schoenberg; Prof. Emil Fischer, Dr. Adolph von Harnack, dean of the German theologists; Prof. Fried- rich Meinecke, Count Monts, retire Ambassador; Prof. Walter Prnst, Dr. Paul Ronrbach, Dr. Friederich Thim- me and Prof. Ernst Troelmsch. The signers almost without exception have been looked on generally as stalwar- conservatives.

LONDON, July 5.—-The betructhal of Richard Edmunds Pennoyer, second sec- retary of the American embassy, and the widowed Viscountess ngestre seems ‘to have come as a complete surprise. Viscountess Ingegtre (prorunced Inn- Khesty), a sister of the Marquir of An- glesey, belongs to the extremely exclu- sive Paget family. Her husband, the only Earl of Shrewsbury, was killed in the war Jan. 8, 1915. He left a son, now Viscount Ingestre, born Dec. 1, 1914, who, if he survives his grandfather, will be- come the Earl of Shrewsbury, the premier Earl in the peerages of both handsome and distinguished. She has three daughters older than the baby Viscount, .born respectively in 1907, 1910 and 1911. The Talbot (Shrewsbury) fam- ily is not rich. The wedding will take place shortly and will be very quiet. FINDS DEATH DUE TO MORPHINE A coroner's jury investigating the death of Miss Lucy S.

Lowden need not go far to find evidence of the utter failure of the major part of the forces of the Llinois National Guard to do their duty in stopping wholesale murder and arson in East St. Louis last Monday. Carlos Hurd of the Post-Dispatch staff, who was an eyewitness of the atrocities on the Hast Side, told a plain circumstantial story of the out- rages he witnessed The assaults and murders were cold-blooded, deliberate and incredibly brutal. They were not the work of a mob infuriated against particular offenders. They were the work of groups of men and women who sought out and burned out the negroes and then shot, beat, kicked or hanged them. The work was done in a spirit of flippant, relentless barbarism. Mr. Hurd described it as a man-hunt. Others who corroborated his testimony called it rabbit-hunting and rat-catching. Nothing like it in unmitigated cruelty has occurred before on It can be likened only to the fiendish atrocities of Turks in Armenia or the pogroms against the Jews incited by the Rus- sian Black Hundred, in which helpless Jews were smoked or dragged from their homes to be beaten, outraged or murdered on the streets. The black skin, without regard to age, sex or innocence, was the mark for slaughter. All the impartial witnesses agree that the po- lice were either indifferent or encouraged the barbarities, and that the major part of the na- tional guard was indifferent or inactive. No or- ganized effort was made to protect the negroes or disperse the murdering groups. The lack of frenzy and of a large infuriated mob made the task easy. Ten determined officers could have prevented most-of the outrages. One hundred men acting with authgrity and vigor might have prevented any outrage. The stain cannot be wiped from the record of Illinois, but the State may be vindicated by pun- ishment of the officers responsible for the con- duct of the guardsmen; and by the vigorous prose- cution of the.murder leaders. | East St. Louisans have a duty to perform in looking into the conduct of their own city gov- ernment which permitted the trouble to culminate in these atrocities. They should find out the cause of the fatal weakness which encouraged the race riots and paralyzed the police while innocent men, women. and children were shot, burned and tor- tured. The future of the city, which in point of growth and prosperity is a marvel, should prompt thoroughgoing action by law-abiding citizens. > Le Ler. — a a DEMOCRACY AT PLAY. One can never realizé how many interesting and likable’ people there are in St. Louis until] he has taken a course in public recreations at our parks. In the democracy of the ball grounds, the golf links 2nd the tennis courts, artificial restraints are sufficiently thrown -aside to enable one to make new acquaintances in the pleasantest way imaginable. , Indeed, one is perpetually on the brink of an adventure’ in humanity. He signs up for a four- some, or to make one for a set of doubles, without, perhaps, knowing who his associates are to be. He is very unlucky if he fails to rim across some- body who will make his own path the brighter for having crossed its orbit. Happily there is a sort of general understanding that such acquaintances end with the play, unless all concerned are willing to pursue them further, and one incurs no taint of churlishness if he drops them after the game. Up to the first of the present week 20,927 tennis permits and 5307 golf permits had been issued. Links and courts are always crowded. The ex- periment of illuminated courts for night play has been a brilliant success and probably will be extended. Good humor, good order, a disposi- tion to obey regulations to the letter are the rule. Rudeness and selfishness cannot live in such an atmosphere of healthful and happy good nature. One must be proud of a city which has the good sense to make such a thing possible. It would be a good work if it succeeded only in taking a half- dozen pigeon-breasted youths and languid “flap- pers” out for sunlight and exercise to make strong-bodied men and women out of them. What Shall be said of an enterprise which offers these things to almost as many people of our city as there are in the expeditionary force America has just sent to France? LEGALIZING FUEL WASTE. - A reader of the Post-Dispatch in “Letters From the People” makes a telling point against the pro- posed amendment to the anti-smoke ordinance changing the permissible time for the emission of ———— legalize waste and enlarge waste opportunities? Shall we abandon the struggle to cleanse our soot- laden atmosphere? The people of St. Louis should make effective protest against the outrage. he he Va EAST ST. LOUIS THE PLACE. In letters two inches high, running across its front page, the Detroit Journal prints a headline to this effect: St. Louis mob cheers, claps hands as negroes are slain. No members of & mob nor anyone else in St. Louis were guilty of the acts herein attributed to them. The crimes which have shocked the coun- try did not take place in Missouri. They took place in Illinois. East St. Iouis, INL, not St. Louis, Mo., was the place. Es a, Se POR A HOME RULE ZOO BOARD. The objectionable ordinance proposing the cre- ation ofa self-perpetuating Zoo Board is defended as the only form of legislation made possible in the aldermanic body under an act of the State Legislature applying to St. Louis. ° It is true that at the 1915 session, without the public knowledge and in defiance of the public de- sire for the right sort of machinery in municipal administration, an unsound bill applying to the St. Louis Zoo Department was lobbied through at Jefferson City in violation of all principles of home rule. It is also true that if the Zoo Department is re- organized under this act, the reorganizing ordi- nance must follow provisions of the act sanction- ing the unwise self-perpetuating feature. But St. Louis now has a Zoo Board. It consists | of the Mayor, the Comptroller, the Park Commis- sioner, George E. Dieckman and R. H. Keiser. No} obligation to supersede this board exists. Indeed, the State act specifically authorizes its continu- ance in the following: And such (the existing) board shall be per- mitted to maintain its present organization until such time as it may be reorganized by ordinance or other legal authorjty in accor- dance with the provisions of this act. Why pass the pending ordinance? Nobody wants it except a few noisy, self-seeking citizens who are looking to the control of the Zoo jobs and the big annual revenue the department will receive from the proceeds of its automatic, perpetual tax. Once foisted on the city, the self-perpetuating board could so strengthen itself as to be got rid |Oof only with great difficulty.. Kill the ordinance. Continue the present Zoo Board. Then at the 1919 session of the Legisla- ture sweep from the statute books the deplorable zoo act and its impudent interference with St. Louis’ own affairs. After that St. Louis can provide for a home rule Zoo Board constituted as St. Louis wants it con- stituted. The question will not be settled until it is settled right, and to settle it right involves only 18 months’ delay. -— + +o —____— Negroes fleeing from Illinois to a former slave State for protection from the white man!

The bickerings and fierce denunciations and delays in Congress of late are largely due to an effort to stop it in this country. The need for legislation of this sort is indicated by the fact that the prices for many foodstuffs in England, stigmatized as profiteering prices and outrageous, are less than the prices in American cities only a few miles from where these same foodstuffs are produced. If those who levy this form of war blackmail in the one country are profiteerers, those who levy it in the other coun- try must be super-profiteerers. ~~. The fact that food prices were raised in St. Louis when the warehouses weré bursting with supplies of staples indicates the need of action by a Hoover and the check of interminable talk from a Reed. FIGHTING FREDERICK THE GREAT. That the American troops landed in Frarce and Greece ared a state of war and the Russians began an offensive all on dates separated only by a few days was not, it seems, a coincidence. All these moves, so depressingly disappointing to Ger- man expectation, were carefully timed with a view to their effect on the minds of the people of the Central Powers. tant immediate results is, of course, the Russian attack. It is really a continuation of Gen. Brusi- loff’s campaign of last year, which was interrupt- ed by the indifference and treachery of the Petro- | grad autocracy under the influence of Berlin in- trigues. Its possibilities, if pressed with energy, may be judged from several circumstances: That the Russians are said to have even greater stores of munitions than last year; that 18,000 prisoners a Of the three, the one promising the most impor- | | THE EAST SIDE ATROCITIES. | the nation ts trying to conserve its fuel, — : JUST A MINUTE. $l MR. ANTWINE ON WHY WE ARE FIGHTING. 4 6 T seems that the righteousness of our cause in | the present war is probably more than we suspect,’’ Mr. Antwine said. ‘‘At any rate, the Kaiser is not certain of the ex- clusive aid of God. God, if we are to attach any im- portance to testimony on our own side, is putting in an occasional blow for the allies as well. ‘‘Thus, the minister of an Episcopal church at St. Johns, New Brunswick, touching on the justice of the allied cause and circumstances which had finally in- volved the United States in war with the common enemy, chose as the theme of his sermon the tenth verse in the third chapter of the first book of Samuel, which is as follows: And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other ‘times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel an- swered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. ‘*It was the Lord, then, who called us to battle, exactly as he had called the Germans to battle almost three years before. ‘‘Don’t laugh. This is, indeed, the most serious feature of the war. If men could be rid of the notion that God-is with them, the end of war would come in a hurry. Only civilization destroys that obsession. God has nothing to do with Samuel being in this war. He neither called him nor stood as before. The Kaiser has already made himself ridiculous claiming to have God on his side. We all do it at times. The text of the Canadian rector only exposes the claim in its complete asininity.’’ ee | THE TENEMENT BABY.

MINA WAMPLER. i SOME LETTER, Sir: I was surprised that you would print such advertise- ments as this, which I found in your last Sunday paper: For rent, house facing St. Aloysius Church School, 5606 Magnolia avenue; frame, 2-stery, 5 rooms base- ment, large lot, chicken house, growing garden; family without children, $15; with two children, $12; six, $10. I want something besides the fence running around my I helieve it is against the law to discriminate against folks that are so unlucky that they have no children, I¢ sure is contrary to the law of common sense and right to charge two persons more than four or eight. Already we have tee much people, and the owner of that house virtually offers a premium. Many owners see the folly of overcrowding the earth and discourage it, wisely, by refusing to rent to parents with a brood of young ones tearing down and breaking up. And here comes this man or woman and slurs us that have sense enough not to let other men’s kids destrey our property for nothing. Any family with children gets more use of a house than them does that ain’t got any, bat don’t expect to pay no more. They have to pay for food and shoes and everything for them, but for lodging—oh no; they would holler if asked to pay more for s dozen children than for only man and wife. Owners would rent to big families if they would pay more rent. If a man is bound to raise a batch of noisy little yougsters, if I had my way. he would have te take them te the city limits and build a tent to keep them in, or else pay so much a head extra rent. To do right, a couple ought te have to get a license for births as well as marrying and be fined if they failed to. Consider, all our wars are brought on by overcrowding.

The emission of dense smoke from chimneys ia not only a nuisance, but it is waste of fuel. The dense smoke is unconsumed fuel. Smoke consump- tion is economy. To legatize waste at this time, when conserva- tion is imperatively necessary to the winning of the war is intolerable and criminal. The change of time in which dense smoke is permissible each hour will mean the legalizing of fuel waste for nine minutes more than under the present ordi- nances. It will mean more than this—it will mean the practical abandonment of the fight for econ- omy of fuel consumption and the abolition of the smoke nuisance. Permission to make dense black smoke for 15 minutes of each hour with varying grades of smoke for the remaining time will mean the ifffpossibility of convicting those guilty of waste and of contributing to the smoke nuisance. The conservation of fuel is now necessary to keep the ships and the factories going.” It fs not less pressing than food conservation. The wel- fare and safety of the nation depend upon it, not to speak of the destructive effect of the smoke nuisance. | EMIL UZ. ° | | Shall St. Louis go backward?

So far, Frederick the Great has been fighting the battles of Hohenzollernism. His maxim of bat- tling allied enemies one at a time and sowing dis- sension among them at all times has controlled German strategy. He himself was saved in a tight pinch during his own great war by the death of one Russian ruler and we can understand the fond hopes of a repetition of history inspired in Ger- many by the deposition of another. We can also understand the cruel nature of the blow inflicted by the destruction of those fatuous hopes. Of course the allies have. known from: the start that the way to beat Hohenzollern ancestor and descendant was for all énemies to fight Germany all the time and resist all the time German in- trigue, but they have lac) the resources to pur- sue the indicated policy. With fighting now going on along the western, the Italian and the Russian European fronts, two more movements will bring the fall of Frederick the G and Wilhelm IJ very near.

ST.LOUIS POST-OISPATCH THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 5, 1917. ‘ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH i i i i i i i i i i » Stenographer a et ii i a i The Flirtatious EMPLOYER ““ By Sophie Irene Loeb. NEW YORK, June 29 YOUNG woman stenographer who was formerly employed by a United A States Senator in Washington and who has.been working for a down- town firm for the past two years writes me a remarkable letter as to how she lost her position. ° Her letter rings true, and I am confident girls suffer from the attentions of a flirting despicable act in this World it is for a man to force girl who is working for him. Many a poor gir], compelled by to hold on to her job, suffers miseries as this girl has at the hands of such men. Nothing is more cowardly than for a knowing the dependence of a girl on her job, to deliberately use his power “employer to prac- tice such imposition. I wish there could be a law passed by seoeperly punished who discharges such a gir! to win her over to accept his attentions, for it is a If | were the gir! in this position I demand a full explanation as to why ! was discharged by the mandger would put the matter squarely before the president of the company. I am confident there are good men at the top of great enterprises who have proper respect for their mother’s sex—at least enough to discharge even an efficient manager for a poor stenographer when she has sought to protect her honor. The letter in part follows: “The firm is divided into has its manager and every a i A many other modest, refined employer.

The offices are scattered and no department knows what is going on in the next one. “Being a good stenographer and fairly intelligent, my employer (man- ager of the advertising department) came to rely on me so that he seldom if ever reread his mail, and very often he would go away for weeks and leave me entirely in charge. “He is forty-nine and has a son of nineteen and daughter, whom [I have met. Lately a change came over him. times he complained about not liking to eat alone and he began asking me to go to lunch with him. I refused on one pretext or Now, I'm not an.attractive girl; certainly the sort a man would ask out to lunch. “I had been very content heretofore, for I had learned my job thor- oughly and liked it, and I had felt so very, very sure of it, for my employer had often said that he wouldn’t know what to do without me, etc. But when he began asking me out I felt a reluctance to go to work and was yery miserable. “Then he began to find fault with my filing system, found misplaced commas and undesirable semicolons. How- ever, he was again nice to me—and then asked me out to dinner. I re- fused. lam sorry now that I did. For the very next day he told me that my services were no longer required. To say that I was horror-stricken would be putting it mildly. “T had comé to regard this office as a institution and myself a permanent fixture— the very ground were taken out from under me. vice president of our company was very much about it and remarked that it had taken Mr. B. I was unsuited for the position and promised to ‘do something.’ “On Saturday nothing had been done, for they had evidently decided that a manager was more valuable than a mere stenographer. So I was left without a position. “Would you have left the position docilely reason—which he refused to give other than to say not satisfactory? “And what other possible motive canh a man have after my being so long in his employ? But again I say I am not attractive—and still cannot understand.” | MONARCH OF a lovely wife Several as well as another. not work, found little flaws in my permanent now it as though I could go to no one.

When’ the Postal Union was formed or July 1, 1875, Russia became a Member and the equivalent of the 6-cent rate was fixed at 8 kopeks, so a stamp of that value was issued as well as a ?k, and a new 10k and 20k. In 1879. how- ever, the rate Was reduced to 7k, so a new stamp of that value in the same colors replaeed the &k, USSIA, like Finland and Poland, be began her stamp issues by a Stamped envelope instead of an adhesive stamp. Jt was inscribed “St. Petersburg Town Post,’’ cost 6 kopeks (about 3 cents) including the envelope, and was issued on Dec. 1, 1845, a year ond a half before the first stamps of the United States. Two months later a sim- ilar one was issued for Moscow, this being printed in red, while the former was in blue. On Dec, 1, 1848, three en- velopes of 10, 20 and §W kopeks were issued for the empire, the ‘single letter rate being i0 kopeks per “‘lot,”’ a unit of weight:about equal to cur half-ounce. It was 12 years after the first envelope stamp appeared that the first adhesive stamp was issued. The official circu- lar announced that they were only fo inland letters and that registered and foreign letters must still be paid for in cash. An official document says: “The stamps are printed at the state printing works on a specially water- marked paper prepared by the works, and the numeral watermarked in each stamp denotes the corresponding weight of the letter it franks. This accounts for the “large- numerals’ 1, 2 and 3 waterma in the 10, 3 and 30 kopek stamps. = The document also says: “The tem- Player - Piano ‘as Vacuum Cleaner A PHILADELPHIAN has patented a dust-filtering attachment which will change your piano into a vacuuni cleaner.

fHUHSDAY EVENING, JULY 5, 1917. 7 ie Ml “i il | OD r | | HL | (1893-1917) The 24th Successful Year of ‘‘America’s First Car’’ BUY YOUR HAYNES NOW Before Higher Costs Require “America’s Greatest Light Six”’ ‘ $1595 | a Price Advance : \ 667 FXOO much prosperity!”— that’s all we need fear according to Secretary McAdoos speech a few weeks ago before the Advertising Clubs. of America. I guess he’s right. Just supplying each other’s wants keeps business humming. But look at us—with nearly the whole world besides clamoring for what we produce. We simply can't, by any law of economics, escape having even greater prosperity. President Wilson says not to “allow any slowing up of business.” So buy that good reliable Haynes you've set your heart on. No sense in letting that money “loaf.” You don’t get any fun out of it that way and its idleness only throws sand into the gear-box of prosperity. Pont deprive yourself of enjoying a Haynes “Light Six’”’—with its 1 to 60 mile flex- ibility on high gear—its smooth pick-up from 0 to 30 miles in 7+ seconds—its ability to ‘‘eat” the high hills on high— its GREATER PULLING POWER, at moderate speeds and through bad going, than other like-size motors possess. Don’t drive a car that’s costly for upkeep — don’t walk or “‘borrow” rides—when 3tc per mile is all a Haynes costs for GAS, TIRES, oil and repairs (as reported by 1200 different owners). Put the cost of a Haynes back into circulation— where it’!l do the country,and eventually YOU, the most godd. Come down today and get that Haynes! Prices for the high-grade materials—which the Haynes uses exclusively to maintain its reputation as a quality car throughout—are skyrocketing. yi bility, you must admit. ONTRACTS are expiring. Can’t tell what some of the new prices may be. Bet your bottom dollar that whatever they are, Haynes will pay. Because Haynes won’t sacrifice a repu- tation that 24 years have built—not for anything. With profits now paired to the core, that may force a price increase. Mind you I don’t say it’s certain—for even the gray-beards are stumped on prophecies these days. It’s a possi- +h Anyway you're getting the biggest dollar value right now that was ever offered. So why wait —why a little later pay more, perhaps, for this same Haynes you want now? Come down and get America’s Greatest Light Six at present low prices. Don’t fight off double-barreled logic like this another day. Buy your Haynes now — Make your money give you enjoyment—Hold up your end by promoting dollar patriotism! 1 NEWELL MOTOR CAR COMPANY LOCUST at JEFFERSON

T asin teenie and Ain- Pama Veteran Gleeson Twice Beaten in Authur Von Reppert Factor in His Downfall, Both in Singles and Doubles. Paul Gleeson, who with Drummond Jones won the doubles championship in the first Central States tennis tour- ney, and who was defeated in the singles final of the same event by Or- 1 lando Vernon of Kansas City, was eliminated in the fifth round of both the singles and doubles, yesterday after- noon at Triple A. Gleesen’s. collapse was a distinct surprise, despite the fact that he was pitted against Arthur Von Reppert. Von Reppert also aided con- siderably in the veteran’s downfall in the doubles. The former pairing with Howard Gautier. In_ the singles Von Reppert disposed of Gleeson, 6-2,6-1. When Von Reppert won the initial set it occasioned no sur- prise, as Gleeson always invariably loses the first one. But when the Triple A man went straight through the sec- ond set, allowing his opponent to win but a single game; the gallery began to appreciate the effectiveness of Von Reppert’s play. In the doubles it was almost the Same way. In this event Von Rep- pert, aided by Gautier, defeated Glee- son and Dalrymple in consecutive gets, 6-3, 6-0, Van Reppert played the net and deep court equally well, while lobs and smashes alike of his opponents met the same fate, being deftiy placed for an impossible return. The pairings for today: SINGLES (FIFTH ROUND). R. M. Hoerr vs. W. H. Finger, at 2:30. F. Josties vs. E. A. Rice, at 3:30. T Drewes vs E A Schwarz, at 5 C. D, Jones vs. R. Hollinshead, at 2:30.

C. track team easily won the point trophy in the Municipal Athletic Association meet at Carondelet Park yesterday, run- ning up 46 points. The M. A. A. Was second, with 17, while the Wawers A. C., a new member in local athletic circles, and with athletes who were making’‘ their first start in competitive events, third with 10. Slow time featured in all of the events. Irwin Mahl took the 100-yard dash in the championship class in 10 flat, and at that was out in front by three yards ai the finish. In this event, he beat his re teammates, Murchinson and Bech- told. The eight-mile marathon proved one of the features. Irvin Biel and John Probst reached the track running neck and neck, with Biel nosing out his rival by about 10 yards in the final sprint around the quarter-mile oval. Only four men finished the race, Jake Kaysing being third and Henry Levinson fourth. The time was 43 minutes 51 seconds. One of the surprises was the showing of the six M. A. A, ethletes. Bohm took first in the shotput and discus, while Mohen rabbed the mile, with Brady third. Riel’s rst in the road rece gave the Cherry Dia- mond its other poirts. The closest ruce of the day was the class C relay, in which the C. A, C, team nosed out the Wawers A. C. Quartet by less than a foot. The championship relay, with Mahl running the ‘ast *20 yards, proved an easy victory for the Tangled C. Lower, Meier, Schlapprizzi, Trum, Wawers end several others starred for the A ; The Tangled © had out its full Blals. 4 Buder Playground won the point troph for the other clasers with 20 points. C. A. C. had 18 and the Wawers and Colum hus Boy Scouts 17. A good crowd witnessed the events. JAKE DAUBERT INJURED; ROBINS, SIXTH IN RACE, TO RAISE TITLE FLAG NEW YORK, July 5.—Jake Daubert, first baseman of the Brooklyn team, may not play again for some time. He has been suffering with a bad leg on and off for the last three years, and he hurt it again yesterday in the first inning and was forced to retire from hostilities. Although the ground was muddy from the rain of the night before, Daubert insisted on playing. ani paid the penalty. Al Orth? the umpire, hurt his leg in tke morning game, and Cy Rigler umpired the afternoon game alone. | The Robins will raise their championship flag this afternoon. President Tener will present the pennant before the game begins. BUESSE LOWERS PUBLIC~ LINKS RECORD WITH 76 The municipal golf course medal score record of 78, formerly jointly held by James Manion, state champion, and Charles ‘“‘Chick’’ Evans of Chicago, was bettered yesterday when Paul Buesse, one of the four golfers who represent- ed the Forest Park Golf Club at St. Joseph, negotiated the course in 76 strokes.

Silas, with ® his natural trading ability, would find a buyer in a man with more money than investing ability. One afternoon some time later Silas roviced a stranger in the bank. He won- aered who the man was. Now, ordinari- ly, a stranger was just a stranger to ‘Silas; but this fellow was a stranger with a fat wallet of greenbacks handed over the cashier in payment of a by check on an up-state bank. "Who's that feller walkin’ ‘door?’ Silas asked Poole. "That's Bill Picketts.”’ “Who's Bill Picketts?’’ That was one man with real money who had escaped Silas’ attention so far. “He's a wainut timber buyer from St. louis. He and his gang are cutting the Walnut .on Pierson’s place,’” answered Asa. “He's just in to get his payroll money. Seems to ship a lot of stuff. Must be money in it.”’ **Where’s he stay?’’ It never took Silas long to get an idea; and it required a much shorter time for him to get action. “Down at the Kerr house,” I believe. That evening when Bill Picketts had _ finished supper and sat down to read his St. Louis paper.he was interrupted by a small-eyed, shrewd-looking man. “Are you Picketts, the walnut timber buyer?’ asked Silas. “os.” ‘“I'ng Silas Warner, one of the direct- ors of the First National Bank. I heerd you was buyin’ walnut timber out at Pierson’s and I think you are the. fel- tow who can take over a business | own, but will have to give up because I can’t give no time to it.’ “What kind of busfness?’’ “A gun stock factory.” “You don’t mean to say you have a mun stock factory here? I never knew that.”’ “Well, we-have, and you might jest as well be making extra money for your- self by making gun stocks out of them + you're cuttin’ instead of someone *is6é makin’ ‘em. Come on over and see the place.’’ Silas took Picketts over. He was glad to see that the factory’s one and only order was scattered through the place so that it did look bustnesslike. He was more than gratified to see that the man Picketts was really more than flirting with the proposition. At the proper time he named a figure. It wasn’t even a good price for the place, but it was -@ good price for a dying horse, Silas t ought. And Picketts agreed to accept the proposition. out the the cashier, “Let’s sit down here,’’ said Picketts. “I've got to get out early in the morn- ing so I might as well get this done. If you will just sign this contract I'll coms in Tuesday and finish the transaction.’’ The proposition, written out on some office paper, was as per Silas’ offer tis jerked while the fish was on the hook—signed quickly. ‘“‘These fellows who-hanker to go in business for them- selves have to have their taste of it,’’ he ineditated. “Well, I got a little out of the Evans miin stock factory,” he told Hiser, the hurdware man, one afternoon a couple of weeks later. ‘‘Had to sell pretty low; tut I guess if I got anything at all out of it I was lucky.”’ (This was in’the spring of 1915.) “Say, Silas, I think that fellow Picketts was the lucky one,” the friend retorted a gave Silas a laugh that vas har complimentary. ‘‘Do you know that that fellow has got war or- .@ers ahead to run him two years and will make him wealthy? You sold a gold brick—but it was solid gold instead of just painted gold.”’ A loud “ahem!’’ was the only answer Silas could make as he walked away.

The man bent all day long over his sewing and hardly took time to giance out of tie “window at the beautiful mountains in the distance, while his wife went about grumbling at her hard work to get wood for the fire and food to bh: cooked But they had kind hearts and everyone liked ther:.. One drizzing day, while the rain @rirped mournfully sown the eaves. they heard a gentle tap at the door, “Come in,” sxid the wife. Ard in waiked a queer, old woman in a tat- tered purple robe, which was wet an flapped Jismally about her muddy feet The wife drew a chair up to the fire, made the woman sit down and qhen brought her a bow' of steaming soup. After she had finished eating she rore to Ko. “Tt has stopped raining now,’’ she said, “and I must be on my way, for j tive far from here. But before I go Y wish to reward you for your kind- nee to a poor old woman. What do you wish for most, mv g90d woman™’ *The wife smiled, glauaced about at the barren room and then said: “Money. I shaii be able to help ethers so much" continued the wife with a hiBpy look on her face, “if | had only the means. how I ‘would love vo help the sick and poor! I do a worki of good if I had money.” “Well.” replied the o'd woman, "I will try you. I will make you rich. ut if at the end of the year you have poy kept your word—if you bave oe a ‘ preved to be mean and selfish, instead of kind and generous, as you now say—all your good fortune will van- ish. You must make good use of the money, as you have pron.ised.”’ ; She took a long stick and pulled 42 stone out of the si-le of the tumbling chimney—out of it she took a big heavy bag, whose crumbling sides broke as it struck the floor. Out of it pourea 2 stream of glittering golden coins. There were also diamonds, rubies and all sorts of precious gems. The tailor and his wife were too mu'‘h astunished even to.thank their bene- factrers and stood looking on speech- lesa while she hobbled out of the door and vanished in the mist. A grand time the courle had now They beught a fine house, carriages and lived in an immense park which had rose gardens, lakes and foun- tains. They traveled around the world and brought back with them beautifu! statues, pictures and tapestries from the looms of the East. They kept a stabieful of horses and a train of serv- ants. They ate rich food and gave big balls. But they were not happy. Their fine food made them sick, their grand friends made fun of their simple ways, their servants laughed at them behind their backs and, worse than all, they began to grow selfish and stingy. Where once they had been generous they now wére hard and mean. To the sick they sent nothing and the poor were driven from their gate. They grew unhappier each day and each day more cross. Ofte rainy day just a year from the house,”’ time of the old woman's visit there came late in the évening a Knock at the big bronze door which guarded the stone palace in which the tailor now lived. A butler opened it wide and in stepped a wet old woman in a rag- ged coat. “I wish to see the she said. ‘But my mistress does not see beg- gars,’’ said the man. “What is the matter here?’ asked tne tailor’s wife, who happened to be pass- ing through the great.hall. ‘Who are you and what do you want? I do not allow such as you at my fron: door. If you wish money or food, |! have none for you—I d6 not allow beg- gars on my land.” The light in the hall was dim and the wife had not seen who the stranger really was. But in a moment the old woman stepped forward and the glow of a bie chandelier fell full on her face. The wife turned pale. “T have come back,” said the woman in a sad voice, “to see how things turned’.out with you and what use you were making of the money. I find you have not kept your promise, that you have been foolish enough to grow proud and selfish. So your wealth will vanish’’. She struck her staff three the ground. There was a rumbiing sound as if of thunder, a cloud of emoke drifted over the place, a strong wind blew a gale and when the couple came to their senses they found them- selves back again in their old hut. The tailor, in a shabby coat, @as seated at his bench, his wife: was peeling pota- toes before a fire in the tumble-down chimney. And there was nothing left to remind them of their misspent year but one silver teapot, which stood shin- ine in the candle light on the kitchen table. iCopvriatt. 917 Srndicate. An Easy Job.
