BY WINSTON SPENCER CHURCHILL Wormer First Lord of the British Admi-alty and Now Minister of Munitions, Having Been Called Ba.k to the Cabinet Two Years After His Dismissal Froy His High Naval Post. LONDON, July 21. LENGTHY discussion has recently taken A place in the columns of The Times on the : question of whether the navy cannot attack the enemy, &nd so help actively to win the war, while time remains. Those who are in favor of what is called “a naval offensive” always argue as if that ‘neart that we should send our grand fleet to bom- bard the German ports and stop their subma- rines coming in and out of them. It is not very diffi- cult for the advocates of a purely defensive naval policy to show the folly of such a pro- ceeding. They point to the vital importance to us of our grand fleet, and how easily its great 3,000,000-pound vessels ean be sunk by torpe- does or blown up by mines, and how unequal] is the contest between @ modern gun ashore and a valuable ship. They explain—and ir never can be explained _ too often—that from its distant bases in our northern waters the British battle fleet dominates the surface of the seas in every quarter of the globe, that it has hitherto protected this island from invasion, has enabled it to carry on an immense seaboard trade, feeding the nacion, transporting and supplying our enormous arm's. sustaining our allies, while all the time stn- ping German food and trade and keeping their warships penned up in their harbors. They show that if our grand fleet were cast away by foolhardiness or committed to a battle at a great disadvantage, that fact would probably by itself mean the total and immediate ruiz of the allied cause and our country and emo're. Submarine the Decisive Fact if War Lasts Long Enough And having recited all these truths, the rar- tisans of the defensive school retire from the dis- cussion triumphant and contented with she con- clusion that the navy, however powerful, can only “keep the ring” and that the war, i: it is to be won, must be won solely by the Jaid ovcra- tions of the armies. It is not till they reach their houses or offices and study our. weekly losses by German submarines that they feel] ~he slightest misgiving. The submarine, in its attack on commerce, is no respecter of theories or personages. Thre must widely accepted arguments, the most highly placed and distinguished people, are disturbed by it. There it is—a new and revolutionary fact of the utmost importance; possibly next year, certain'y if the war continues long enough, the decisive -¢. Alas, complacency! the hichest authorities! argument! This mutinous newcomer cares nothing for them. He is the embodiment of a war thought, ruth- less, inexorable, subversive, deadly. He cannot be met except by other war thoughts, new, auda- «ous, hazardous, adapted to the vast war prob- lem of today in its integrity. Mechanical! inventions are very good, and there is no limit to the search that should be made for them. Occasionally a new discovery creates anew war thought. But invention should more often be the child of war perception than its parent. War genius should define the need, and scientific ingenuity can then meet it. Scientific i> se-~uity is no more a substitute for true war thought than is good seamanship or fine gun- mery or exemplary discipline or tireless devo- tion. - All these are the necessary members of the poay. They cannot fill the void of the soul. Neither, on the other hand, let me hasten to add, is a true war plan or policy any use without the apparatus to carry it out and to carry it through. It is a mere bodyless spirit seeking vainly for corporeal manifestation. Alas, contenment! Alas. Alas, the widely accepted . af “What Does the Navy Want? It Wants to Get at Them!” ' Let us try to discern clearly what is the real _ weed of the British navy in this present very _ Brave year of our fate.

It does not require a lot of plans. Nor need we balance and analyze the varying views of high authorities. Every man in the royal navy, nay, every man, woman and child in this island, can give the answer to the question and can give it with simple and spontaneous conviction. “What does the navy want?’ Answer: “The navy wants to get at them.” : It is wonderful. that this wish should spring with pent-up passion from every gallant heart in the fleets of Great Britain. Brothers, sons, fathers, friends are pouring out their blood in France. Our once little army, which Europe formerly thought so contempt- ible, is striking down the finest. troops of Germany and tramping under its feet , mocking at danger and death, the most terrible fortifica- tions in the world. And all the time our great fleets, with their immense and over- whelming superiority, with their perfect or- ganization and match- less material, are rele- gated to the role of “keeping the ring.” Nay, more, it is in the naval sphere itself that the new weakness and danger are discovered, which, it not checked, will undo all that the army has achieved and ruin the prospects, of a decisive victory. No, it is certainly not wonderful that the dearest wish of every sailor in the fleet, through all the multi- plied and and complicated ranks and ratings of the royal navy, should be expressed in the words “to get at them.” | | But this sentiment, which rises so naturally in every breast, is, in fact, the profound military conception which should form the beginning of the war have dominated naval thought. “How to get at them!” That is the problem, to the solution of which the whole energies and ingenuities of this magnificent service should have been ceaselessly applied during the last three years. Waiting for Them to Come Out Is the Wrong Way Had the policy of the Admiralty been con- Sistently and strenuously directed to this end— backed by conviction, authority and courage, with a readiness to run risks not merely of life and limb, for that will never be grudged, but of reputation and position—the glory of the royal navy, and its influence upon our fortunes would undoubtedly stand higher. Once the true war thought has taken posses- sion of the mind of power the means to translate it into action are rarely found lacking. Instead, however, we have had for at least two years the avowed acceptance, and even proclamation of the opposite principle, ‘““‘Wait about till they come out,” and the problem of “how to get at them,” which is essentially a problem of mechanical pre- paration for a supreme act of naval aggression, hds been entirely laid aside. At this point we really must survey the naval resources of the allies. Taking the figures con- tained in the naval annuals published before the war, the allied navied have today three, at least, dreadnought battleships for every one at the dtfs- posal of Germany and Austria and they have in addition more than four older battleships for every one at the disposal of Germany and Aus- tria. But the superiority in quality, in weight of metal, in modernity, in tonnage, is far greater even than these immense figures imply. Are we really to be content to see this vast mass of about 200 battleships, with nearly 2000 of the greatest guns in the world, and perhaps 15,000 smaller guns, all equipped with the finest artillery men which the resources of great nations, carefully prepared in years of peace, could pro- duce, with enormous numbers of highly skilled, patiently trained, competent, professional and technical ratings—is all this accumulation of deadly war energy to wait idly on the off-chance of the German fleet emerging from its harbor to fight a battle, until] peace, perhaps an unsatis- factory peace, is declared? And this at a time when every other resource is strained to its utmost; when the soldier, two or three times wounded, is thrown again into the fir- ing line; when in every allied country every in- ~ rae BAe.

Ambassador Penfield. 1 Losses in Killed, Wounded and Prisoners Approximating Nearly Half of the 7,000,000 Men Called to the Colors, the People Intensely Desire Peace at the Earliest Possible Mo- ment—Financial Condition Worst of All Belligerents. By HENRY N. HALL. A Special Correspondent of the Post-Dispaich. NEW YORK, July 21.— tria-Hungary, is one of the men who during the past three years have set before the Pr trie tung COURTLAND PENFIELD, Ambassador of the United States to Aus- world a lasting standard of diplomatic efficiency and demonstrated to European Governments that American diplomatists are the equal of any. rs a thorough schooling in journalism he joined the service as United States Vice Consu -General in London in 1885. In 1893 President Cleveland appointed him diplomatic agent and Consul-General to Egypt, with the rank of Mumster Resident. two years after his retirement, published a book, ‘‘ Present-Day Egypt,’’ whitch was praised by Lard Cromer as the most authoritative work on the subject. During the surteen years the Republicans were in power Mr. Penfield held no office, but devoted himself to the study of foreign affairs, and wrote extensively on international questrons and. on dtplomacy as a profession. Upon President Wilson’s clection in 1912 Mr. Penfield was appointed United States Ambassador to Austria-Hungary. He served with distinction untiu 1897 and, When the war broke out he was charged with the diplomatic interests of Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan in Austria-Hungary, and many times received the formal thanks of these Governments as well as of Emperor Francis Joseph. It was recently my privilege to spend two days with Mr. Penfield and to talk with him at length about conditions actually existing inside the dual monarchy. Part of the information thus gathered is here presented to the readers of the Post-Dispatch with Mr. Penfield’s permission. The Ambassador’s story will be continued tn Monday’s Post- Dispatch. HERE can be no greater secret in Austria- Hungary than the number of men called to serve in the army. Yet the best in- formed observers believe that the military estab- lishment of Austria-Hungary has called up about 7,800,000 men since the opening of the war. - a - There are believed to be in Russia approxi- mately 1,100,000 Austro-Hungarian prisoners, in Italy 500,000, while Servia had probably 60,000. To these losses must be added “880@,000 killed, died of illness, lost or incapacitated beyond further service. If these figures are reasonably correct, there must be now serving with the colors on the several fronts, doing duty in Poland, Servia, Turkey, Montenegro and Albania, em- ployed as guards On railway lines and in prison camps in the monarchy, and held in reserve while under tuition, considerably more than 4,090,000 rn] = @ * . Heavy, indeed, have been Austria’s casualties; how heavy is one of the closest guarded military secrets of the central Powers. At a conserva- tive estimate, 4,500,000 were called to the colors at the outbreak of the war, and at least 3,000,000 have been maintained in active service on the several fronts. The casualties in the first year of conflict—killed, wounded, ill and lost—were at least 1,500,000. Russia has in the neighborhood of 750,000 Austro-Hungarian prisoners; of these approximately 100,000 were civilians removed from Przemsy! to Russian detention camps, most being sent to Siberia, others practically to the Persian frontier. An official American army ‘observer’ who passed eight months on the fighting line in Gali- cia and was present at the long series of san- guinary and disastrous encounters with the Rus- sians, saw a field division reduced from 15,000 men to about 200. +. * * = 400,000 War Orphans in Hungary. The number of war orphans in Hungary alone exceeds 400,000, and misery there is everywhere growing, while the demand for peace rings loud- er each day. These statements show that the masses—including the man with the hoe and the widow with children to feed—want peace, and want it quickly. They care not through whose instrumentality it comes, so long as it arrives in time to keep them from starving. . ” * The dual monarchy is stronger militarily and economically; decidedly so. Austria-rlungary is the poorest off financially of all the belligerent great powers, for her treasure chest was prac- tically empty when the great conflict was entered upon. no session of Parliament since the war began, and free speech of an inquiring or critical char- acter is never heard. In Hungary there are peri- odic fulminations against the war and the way it is conducted, and these Budapest utterance find a sad echo in the Austrian division of the realm. » * * Austria’s Minister-President, Count Stuergkh, was assassinated because thought afraid to con- vene Parliament, and the fiew Emperor came to the throne promising an early meeting of the legislative body. But Parliament has not been convened, nor is there early prospect that it may be. Austria's food supply is being so rigidly con- served that the people have now three meatless days in each week, with other days when fats of every sort and butter are forbidden. At best, the remaining days are but half-ration days. Because the army has commandeered two-thirds of the cows there is a milk and butter famine in the land. The average person in Austria has not tasted butter in a year. The pinch last win- ter was most severe, and summer finds the people reduced to straits of genuine desperation. Starva- tion cannot well come to a monarchy possessing the grain fields of Moravia and Hungary, but pune is already there, and there are degrees of ger. hun ” * 7 Austria was nearly a year and a half behind Germany in having a food dictaio., and one or two experts had tried to organize the ‘work be- fore Gen. Hofer was appointed. A drawback to systematic handling of the food supplies is get- ting them from farming regions to centes of population. Since the beginning of the war no railway cars have been built and none repaired, while the military campaign on every front has played havoe with rolling stock, as with carts, horses and cattle. Transportation on any or- ganized scale is consequently impossible. . » ~ Shortage of Cars Causes Deprivation. There have not been sufficient cars to bring salt in needed quantity from the Salzkammer- gut, and housewives have had to learn to do with- out a necessary article of which the dual mon- archy has a natural store sufficient to last for centuries. Last winter Vienna was almost coalless because there were no cars to. haul the fuel from the mines. The authorities decreed that families could heat but a single room in their abodes, but even for this the dealers could seldom supply the necessary fuel. When very cold weather came water pipes in thousands of small houses in the capital froze and burst, and for a long time these dwellings had to be supplied from street hydrants. . * * There is no free speech im Austria, and hence the population learns only what is printed in Government-controlled newspapers. But millions of patient people have concluded that to go on with the struggle can profit nothing. Austria- Hungary has aided in defeating a few neighboring small nations, but cannot budge the big ones. The Russian bear holds 12,000 square miles of Ga- licia, while Italy has a firm hold on the Trentino. * * * The death of the Emperor Francis Joseph re- moved the man who actually lighted the match which started the conflagration, and scarcely three weeks prior to the monarch’s demise the German Ambassador in Vienna passed away. This diplomatist had played a role of no small importance in the war drama, for the Servian ultimatum was known to him from the hour that its drafting began, and through him the German Kaiser was as well posted on what -was transpiring in Austria as if he were in Vi- enna. All published records of the exchange of notes and telegams at the time of the sending of the fatal ultimatum to Beigrade state that Am- bassador Tschirschky had said to the British Am- bassador that “he approved every line and every word” of the ultimatum. Author of Uultimatum to Servia. The actual preparation of the demand upon the Servian Government has been attributed to va- rious persons. Count Berchtold, the gentile and pacific Austro-Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs, was not the author of that fateful docu- ment. The ultimatum was really composed by Count Forgach, an assistant to Berchtold in the Ministry, acting under orders from the Emperor himself. Count Forgach has now passed from official employment. There was a “shake up” in the Foreign Affairs Ministry when Count Czernin assumed control a few weeks since and Forgach “resigned” his position. 7 S * Forgach wrote the ultimatum of July 23, 1914, with a nice knowledge of Servian affairs gained sues Jo -_ — » sped ben TE2A1~. oe FS has ° ar FREDERICK COURTLAND PENFIELD. as Austrian Minister at Belgrade. For a long time he was inspirer of all anti-Serb policy of Austria-Hungary. Forgach is a devoted friend of the Hungarian Premier, Count Tisza, who ex- erted great influence upon the aged Francis- Joseph to avenge the Sarajevo assassination by making war upon the smal! Balkan state. A few weeks after the ultimatum was launched Francis-Joseph elevated Forgach to ambassa- dorial rank, his reward for preparing the unan- swerable: ultimatum. Forgach was Minister in Servia when Bosnia and Herzegovina were an- nexed and is said to have done all in his power to bring about a war at that time. + a a Vienna is filled with this horde of diplomats thrown out of work by the war. A few are performing routine duties in the Foreign Affairs Ministry, some are employed in the War Ministry and other public offices, and a considerable num- ber of men of junior grades in the diplomatic and consular service are engaged on the fighting fronts, but mostly in “staff work,” or transport or sanitary duty involving no danger. Vienna's clubs and drawing rooms seem ever filled with diplomatiste. In the past few months the Government has called in for the melting pot all denominations of nickel and copper coins, with a date limit when they become illegal as currency. In their Place badly minted iron washers are in circula- tion. A onecrown emergency paper note has likewise been brought out, for it had become com- mon practice to cut in half to facilitate the mak- ing of change the two-crown notes issued earlier in the war. Silver coins have been hoarded to an extent practically removing them from circula- ‘tion, while a gold coin has scarcely been seen since the war began. - “War Metal” Collections Everywhere. “War metal” collections have been going on for more than two years in every city and town of OE is that these tokens of appreciation form the cheapest investiient that talf“Be made, for they inspire men to do a prodigious amount of work for the fatherland and show courage in scores of° ways that could not be recompensed by cash pay- ments. . . = hd The Catholic churches have also been drawn upon to yield their share of the sinews of war to the empire of the Hapsburgs'in its hour of need. There has never been any publicity gives to this form of national assistance, dnd it wifl probably be denied. But it is a fact, nevertheless, On a recent visit to the shrine church of Marta- zell, in Steiermark, the sacristan showed Mr. Penfield several empty cases in the treasuré of the church and explained that their contents— pearls, diamonds, rubies and other gems, contrib- uted by devout Catholics during hundreds of yéars of pilgrimage—had been sold by orders from a high source and the money devoted to war puf- poses. Depreciation of Austrian Money. - Next to men, Austria-Hungary’s most vital re- source is gold. The depreciation In the world's estimate of the value of Austro-Hungarian cur- rency is a sore topic in official circles, and vari- ous theories are brought forward to explain it; but the truth is that the waning value of Aus- t-ian paper money is keeping pace with the efflux of the precious metal from the national vaults. In July, 1914, 100 crowns were worth $20.16; by December of the same year their value had fallen to $17.78. June, 1916, saw a further decline to $15.17, which kept steadily on, reaching $13.28 by the end of the year. When I left Vienna’ the 100 crowns were worth only $10, and now the exchange has fallen to about $9. ° . . Dogs are doing their bit for their countries all over Europe, but especially in Austria-Hungary. The dog has brains and low visibility, and the mil- itary authorities make extensive use of man’s ~~ the empire. The wagons stop at every house and ) best friend. It is now no uncommon sight in make théir patriotic appeal. Every description of metal has been gathered in, from mantel] orna- ments to chandeliers ang stair rails. The “war metal’’ men take anything and householders con- tribute every form of useful and useless metal. Even old bathtubs and brass crucifixes were load- ed upon the wagons with the cheering approval of the spectators. Churches have been levied upon for war metal, and hundreds of cracked and ancient belis have found their way to the melting pot. From St. Stephan’s Cathedral in Vienna a massive but ob- solete bell was removed to be fabricated into cart- ridge cases. The Bishop of Trieste turned all superfluous church bells of his diocese over to be converted into ammunition. Quite an item in the cost of the war is the expenditure for gold or silver orders, service medals and other tokens of governmental! or im- perial favor. These cover a wide range. Officials in high station in public life and in the army have to be rewarded by decorations representing the monarchy’s historical orders of chivalry, while soldiers of every grade must be honored with medals representing service or valor. It is esti- mated that from three to five million Austro- Hungarian medals have already been bestowed, sands of feet of silk ribbon.

Edi- tor Post-Dispatch.) A Socialist Protest. Toe the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have read your editorial in Monday’s issue of your paper entitled “Impudent Pro- German Socialists.” - Good for you. If it is not asking too much, would you kindly give the following protest of July 6th, made to President Wilson by the Na- tional Executive Committee of the Socialist Party: ‘“Hion. Woodrow Wilson, _ President of the United States, Washington, D. C. ‘Sir: ‘The National Office of the Socialist ‘Party has received complaints from many parts of the country of lawless ‘ @bsaults upon the rights, liberties and persons of citizens committed by sol- diers and sailors. Organized bands of men wearing the ‘wniform of the United States have sys- tematically disturbed and broken up _ public meetings lawfully assemtlei and -speacefully conducted; they have made numerous domiciliary searches and ar- _mests without warrant or accusation and without a shadow of legal authority; they have invaded homes and ransacked Private offices; they have destroyed _ property and insulted men, women and children. They have wantonly, boister- ously and defiantly trampled upon all constitutional rights and liberties, and although these atrocities have been go- ing on for many weeks and are grow- 4ng more shameless and revolting from day to day, they have met with no ef- ‘fective check or rebuke from the civil or military authorities. We are told that our country has been impelled to take up arms largely because of our indignation over the atrocities committed ty German troops in hostile countries, yet we are asked to tolerate similar atrocities committed by our own soldiers on our own soil before a shot has been exchanged be- tween our troops and the enemy. ’ We are told that we are in the war “to make the world safe for democracy,” yet we are expected to allow all civil law and order to be superseded by a “reign of lawless and unprincipled mili- tary terrorism in our own country at the very outset of the crusade. -' "The National Executive Committee of the Socialist Party calls upon you, Mr. President, as the Commander-in Chief of the Army and Navy, and as the re- sponsible custodian of the rights and liberties cuaranteed to the people of the United States by the Constitution, to command an immediate halt to this unspeakable national disgrace. The Socialist Party of the United States has always conducted its work by peaceful and law-abiding methods, which are the only effective and admis- sible methods in a Government based on freedom of press, speech, assembly and the person. H. H, KLAUS, Ovériand, Mo. > SENATOR REED’S CONSTITUENCY. Brom the New York World. Tf tn his attack upon Mr. Hoover for the Speculative operations of the Belgian Com- mission Senator Reed of Missouri spoke for the American people the bitterness of his words must be regarded as inexplicable. Puring our long neutrality the Belgian Commission, like every other foreign agency having access to our markets, enjoyed com- mon trading rights and no transactions in fod products on the Chicago Board of Trade nave more bearing wpon charitable enter prises and the American people are well aware of the fact. If perchance he spoke of the powerful grain and packing interests of Kansas City, Omaha, St. Louis and Chicago, every word that he uttered is picked out in Nghts that would illuminate the darkest night. What could be more abhorrent to the Armours and Swifts than speculation itn food. prod- -wcts? Is there anything that the Belgian -Commission ceuld have done, as it was .ferced to play their game, that would have -been more reprehensible than to take ad- wantage of a manipulated food market and sto beat it, if possible? ., Unless Senator Reed is greatly misunder- atood, his complaint against Mr. Hoover is that he fought the devil with fire. The _eonditions which Senator Reed would per- petuate Mr. Hoover would bring to an end. Food control will end all gambling in food, which helps to explain the bitter oppo- sition to the bill in Congress. We have Senator Reed's word for it that he abhors gambling,. So also do the Ar- mours and Swifts. The packing house in- ' terests take no chances and their hatred of Hoover is not exceeded even by Senater | .. - Th LLOYD GEORGE’S ANSWER. Lioyd George’s reassuring statement of Satur- day as to the submarine campaign was doubly welcome because it came at a time when German boasting had begun to create doubts in America. Reiterated professions of confidence in the ulti- mate success of this weapon contained in recent declarations by Michaelis, Yon Hindenburg and Von Ludendorf were bound to have a depressing effect. Coming on the heels of a pessimistic newspaper article such utterances received more attention than they would otherwise have gained. There can be no doubt that Germany’s persistent whittling away of allied freight tonnage has be- come a serious matter. Hitherto, at least, the building of ships has not nearly kept pace with the destruction. German faith is pinned upon the reckoning that it will never do so. In the same newspaper editions which carried the Lloyd George speech Gen von Ludendorf was quoted as saying: The supreme army command expects the submarine warfare to break England’s ability to prepare for war by lessening her tonnage. Fulfillment of this wish will come despite America. The British Premier, however, pointed out that submarine losses are steadily diminishing while ship building is going on at an unprecedented rate. Great Britain will turn out four times as many new ships this year as she did last; in fact will finish more of them in November and De- cember alone than she built in all of 1916. Furthermore Lloyd George declared Britain's food supply for the 1917-1918 period had already been secured and that a program of cultivation had been started which would insure food for the next year even if shipping losses increase. In this no account is taken of American ship building which we hope to begin shortly on a vast scale. Nor is account taken of methods that may completely master the submarine. Lloyd George spoke of conditions as they exist. The Junkers have stood pat on the submarine campaign because they had to stand pat on it. Once the probability of its failure is admitted they can not retain the confidence of the German people and their power will be shattered. If Lloyd George’s statements are fairly accurate, the earliest possible date when England can be made to feel the pinch of hunger is at least two years hence. - Before that time America will have a winning army in the field. 7 = — a ae THE ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. There came into existence Friday the Army of the Republic—the first army of the United States which was created upon the principle that military service is a duty that every citizen owes to his country. Every man of military age who registered on June 5 is a soldier in this army. Millions of the 9,600,000 who registered will never be called. Other millions will be exempt from service for one reason or another, as defined by law. But all of them belong to this army, whether rich or poor, whether favored or oppressed by fortune. It is an army without a caste, an American army in the truest sense of the term, and thus a proud distinction attaches to those who are called to the colors. Secretary Baker said in drawing the first num- ber in the simple but solemn ceremony that brought this army into being: “The young men selected today are honored by the privilege of serving their country.’ We shall be sorry for those who accept it in any other spirit, for they will have missed one of the highest emotions of human life. They too, no less than the volunteers, are dedicated to a noble service in behalf of their country, but in a wider sense even than the volunteers they are the soldiers of democracy. “It is not the duty of the Government to sup- port the people, but the duty of the people to sup- port their Government,” said Grover Cleveland. We have been wandering away from that vital truth, and the army of the whole republic sum- mons the American people back to the old trail. It calls them again to discipline and sacrifice, which alone can preserve the rights, the liber- ties and institutions of a free nation, whether in war or in peace. = = The French Chamber of Deputies recently passed an income tax bill after ten years of de- bate, indicating the presence in Paris of some Gallic Reeds, Gores and La Follettes. on ee FUTURE OF AUSTRIA-HUNGARY. Since the fall of the Romanoffs and the estab- lishment of popular government in Russia, it has been suggested that the Russians had no further grounds for fighting Austria-Hungary. The peo- ple of Russia have no real quarrel] with the ma- jority of the people of the dual monarchy. Only one-fourth of the inhabitants of Austria-Hungary speak German. Between one-fifth and one-sixth speak Hungarian or Magyar, which is allied to Russian. And the Magyars, together with the Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Ruthenians, Croats, Serbs, Bosniaks and Slovenes, who make up the rest of the population, are only subjects of the reign- ing Hapsburg dynasty through the fact that a German Count, living in a medieval castle in Switzerland, got possession of the territory now known as Austria-Hungary, by seizing it, with his armies of retainers, in the thirteenth cen- tury. Politically, Austria-Hungary is purely medieval. It is a bundle of unlike tribes, ruled by a mon- arch descended from a robber Baron, only one- fourth of whose subjects are of his own race. In their reply to President Wilson's note, the allied Governments said: “The civilized world knows that they (the aims of the allies) include the lib- eration of Italians, Slavs, Rumanians and Czecho- Slovaks from foreign domination.” The Czechs, or Bohemians, especially, are opposed to fighting for German ambitions, and entire regiments of them have deserted to the Russian side. The Mag- yars are only pro-German because they hate the Bohemians. As long as the Hapsburg Government can com- pel the mixed, mutually jealous races and armies it controls to continue fighting, Russia will have no choice but to keep up the struggle. The Aus- trian-Hungarian peoples have never seen their way to free themselves from the yoke of medieval- ism. They are victims of the feudal system, whose spirit survives tn Middle Burope cheek by cation. If the allied Governments adhere to their pro- gram of freeing the Czech-Slovaks, they can only do so through the defeat of the Hapsburg as well as the Hohenzollern Powers. But what will then keep together the diverse races now controlled through Vienna? Could they form a republican federation that would endure? = = i i GERMANY’S BEST ALLY. News comes from Geneva that fearing the ex- tensive aerial program of the United States, Ge->- many is feverishly speeding up the construction of airplanes. Why should Germany fear our aerial program? To be sure, it has been suggested, and the sugges- tion has been generally approved, that the quick- est and most effective contribution America can make to the war forces of the allies is a great fleet of airplanes. Experts have stated that a sufficient number of airplanes to dominate the air, attack the German naval and army bases, destroy munition works, and search out subma- rines might greatly hasten the victorious con- clusion of the war. It is true that, impressed with the force of these statements, the House almost without dis- cussion passed a bill appropriating $640,000,000 for airplanes. The Senate committee promptly re ported the bill to the Senate with a favorable rec- ommendation. It was met immediately with a storm of objections, particularly directed against the drafting of aviators. The Germans have an efficient ally in the American Senate. General Debate takes care of their interests. He sees that they have ample time to prepare counter strokes before we are ready for the attack. We hope that we will have a great fleet of air- planes and that it will be a fearful force to the enemy, but we are sure it will not be in the air on time if Senators Reed and La Follette and other able obstructors can help it. So long as they have the voice to object, and the flow of or- atory holds out General Debate will be master of the field of legislation in the interest of the Ger- mans. ————————— = = — SS Every new crop report from Washington and from the various states is adding another stone to the Hohenzollern mausoleum. = > FS WIFE-SHOOTING HUSBANDS. Within a week three husbands who failed to ef- fect a reconciliation with wives from whom they had been separated have tried to murder the women. Two of these wives are not expected to live. And little children are involved in tragedies brought about by the most despicable and inex- cusable sort of male selfishness. These men, having taken vows to love, honor and cherish the women whom they courted, “till death us do part,” have made themselves obnox- ious and brought about a separation. That was bad enough. But to proceed to treat the wronged woman as a slave and try to force her affection and service at the mouth of a loaded pistol, is a crime deserving no mercy. A stern example should be made of would-be wife murderers, for the protection of women, who already suffer enough. ++ Chancellor Michaelis minimizes America’s en- trance into the war, indicating that the new Ger- man Premier is a Prussian, with all the blind- ness and stupidity of the Prussian bureaucrat. = = * = wS COUNTERFEIT POTATOES. The expected has happened. Counterfeit po- tatoes are in circulation. They are taking their place with phony greenbacks and paste diamonds and are said to be such a good imitation that it takes an expert to tell the difference between the real and the make-believe. To make counterfeit potatoes you take one pound of sure-enough potatoes, two and a half quarts of water, one pound of soft summer wheat flour, half a pound of split peas and two ounces of lard. Mix well and mold. This is where skill counts. Anybody can mix them, but it takes an artist to mold them. If they are rounded just right, with every artificial eye where the natural eye ought to be, the average potato eater will take them boiled or fried, mashed or baked and think to his dying day that he has eaten pota- toes. In one way it doesn’t matter. The counterfeit not only looks right and tastes right, but the chefs say it is more nourishing. But it is cheap and it takes the joy out of life to think you have been eating a rare and genuine potato and then find out that it was a blended substitute. = = The troubles in Petrograd are not as serious as they seem. Poison cannot be ejected from the system without leaving some temporary after effects. CROPS EXCEED ESTIMATES. It is peculiar that in this year of need the crop estimates through the many official and usually accurate private channels should agree in what now appears to be a mistake. Threshing reports from Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas are now coming in and they all tell of larger wheat yields than were anticipated. In Kansas it is asserted that should the early reports carry through the threshing season the State wheat crop will be 50 per cent higher than anticipated. A part of this increase is due to more careful handling of the grain. Many extra precautions are being taken to glean fields cleanly and to save all of the wheat sent to the machines. But the big gain is in a greater yield than ex- pected and through the extra weight. The grains are said to be very plump and heavy and to run to weight, which is exactly contrary to the ex- pectations of the experts who inspected the fields after the winter drouth. Many fields which escaped being plowed up for summer crops mere- ly because there was not time, have produced crops that mean a good profit to the growers. Also, late reports assert that the recent drouth was broken in time to save corn and other sum- mer grains and that there is little danger of drouth damage this season, as recent rains have been ample in many sections. = = —_ '-_—- = A battle to the finish between the Villa bandits and the deported I.

VIRGINIA.—One of the best exercises for developing skinny forearm is to close hand tightly, curving fingers well into palm. This done, person tries to squeeze in fingers and at same time to press thumb more tightly over fingers. Arm should be bared and hand held fist up. In this way pres- sure will show in center of forearm, where Plumpness is most needed. No danger of doing this exercise too often. As pulling is of great use in arm development, a ben- eficial exercise is provided by pulling at some stationary object. For instance, by grasping edges of bath tub one may at- tain quite a good deal of the ‘esired biceps. Care should be taken, however, not to do this with fingers. Sweeping is particularly recommended in rounding contour of fore- arm, for firm grasp on broom is re-enforced by strong stroking motion. But in addi- tion to the exercise, a nightly massage of the arms is necessary to one who desires pretty arms. Arms rhould be first washed with flesh brush, after which some good oil should be rubbed in with circular mo- tion. Either sweet almond og olive oil makes excellent massage preparation for arm. This should be slightly warmed be- fore applying. HELL ON THE RIO GRANDE. McKAY.—The following verses were writ- ten by a Sergeant (name unknown) 30 years ago: The devil, we're told, in hell was chained, And a thousand years he there remained; He never complained, nor did he groan, But determined to start a hell of his own, Where he could torment the souls of men, Without being chained in a prisen pen. So he asl-ed the Lord if He had on hand Anything left when He made the land. The Lord said: “Yes, I had plenty on hand, But I left it down on the Rio Grande; The fact is, old boy, the stuff is so poor, I don’t think you could use it in hell any more” But the devil went down to look at the truck, And said if it came as a gift he was stuck; For, after examining it carefully and well, He concluded the place was too for hell. So in order to get it off his hands, The Lord promised the devil to water the lands: For He had some water, or rather some dregs, A regular cathartic that smelled like bad eggs. Hence the deal was closed, ang the deed was given, And the Lord went back to His home in heaven; And the devil then said: “I have all that is needed To make a good hell,” and hence he succeeded. He began to put thorns on all of the trees, And he mixed the sand with millions of fleas: He scattered tarantulas along all the roads; Put thorns on the cacti and horns on the toads. He lengthened the horns of the Texas steers, And he put an addition on the jackrabbits’ ears; And he put a little devil in the broncho steed, And he poisoned the feet of the centipede. The rattlesnake bites you, the scorpion stings, The mosquito de- lights you with buzzing wings; The sand burrs prevail and so do the ants, And those who sit down need half-soles on their pants. The devil then said that throughout the land He’d managed to keep up the devil's own brand, And all would be mavericks un- less they bore The marks of scratches and bites and thorns by the score. The heat in the summer is a hundred and ten, Too hot for the devil and too hot for men. The wild boar roams through the black chaparral— It’s a hell of a place he has for a hell. The red pepper grows on the banks of the brook; The Mexicans use it in all that they cook. Just dine with a greaser and then you will shout: “I've hell on the inside as well as the out.” SAVING DAYLIGHT. ' INSTANT.—Robert Brunet told the day- light-saving convention that, based a facts and figures he had collected, inauguration of the daylight-saving plan would save in the United States $45,000,000 per annum now spent for pan cial lighting. Daylight-gaving dates back to 1907, when an Englishman, William WII- let:., published a booklet on “The Waste of Daylight.” In 1908 a daylight-saving bill was introduced in the House of Commons, but did not pass. The proposition on which the daylight-saving movement is based is that from May 1 to Oct. 1 clocks should be set forward one hour so as to take advan- tage of the hour of sunlight at one end of the day instead of using artificial light at the other. On April 16, 1916, the German Federal Council passed @ measure ordering all clocks to be set forward one hour. Within thrée months the example of Germany had been ollowed by Holland, Aus- tria, Turkey,England, France, Norway, Swed- en, Denmark, Italy, Switzerland, Spain and Portugal. In this hemisphere the scheme has been adopted in Nova Scotia. In Eng- land the change was made as &@ war meas- ure only, largely in order to save the coal!) supply for military and naval uses; it has been estimated that the British people are saving, in a Summer, about $12,000,000 in gas and electric light bills; on the other hand, it must be mentioned that the gas and electric Nght companies rcised their rates to the consumer, in order to meet the loss of their lessened demand. The ad- vantage of daylight-saving Plan is seme- what dependent on latitude. England and Germany are so situated as to benefit greatly by the change. Scotland and the Scandanavian countries have an excess of daylight in Summer, anyway. In the Southern States of this country there is not much difference In Summer and Wia- ter length of day.

I was a little startled at the moment. Perhaps, as mutual friends of the.late Capt. Masterman, we may take care of his interests jointly.”’ As Donald made no reply of any nature, Mac- Beard turned to the physician, and had soon com- pleted the arrangements for the removal of the body. Then he went to the clerk’s desk. The other members of the club, shocked by the geudden death of Masterman, were talking together fin little groups. Donald began to hear the words “perpetual motion” and “James I" again. He felt wick at the death of his old friend in this inhos- Ppitable place. The silence gave way to babble, and he walked away in disgust. He held the envelope in his hand still, and he Was about to place it in his pocket when his @lance fell upon a sentence of the manuscript within. Donald drew it forth and read: In the event of your hearing of my sudden death you must not delay a moment, but go to my house at 166 street Baltimore. Above all, beware of MacBeard. He is an enemy of the human race. So much fF have learned, but——— Donald thrust the into his trousers pocket and replaced the envelope, containing the rest of the manuscript, in the inner pocket of his coat just as MacBeard returned. He was resolved not to let the professor steal! Bny secrets of Masterman’s. His sole purpose was to render homage to the last wishes of his old friend. He did not doubt that Masterman had been insane. But Masterman might have made @iscoveries of scientific interest; and something about MacBeard awakened his determination to @Gefend the dead captain against this scheme. He would go to the house in Baltimore, and gee what there was to be done. He knew Mas- terman had lived there for many years, in the intervals between his voyages. MacBeard came up to Donald with a affected friendliness. “I understand that friend’s address,” he said. @ very retiring man. No doubt we shall learn from his friends in a day or two. I will have an announcement published, and have arranged for the funeral to be held from Byam’s undertaking establishmant the day after tomorrow at noon. Is there anything further to be done?” ‘T hardly think so,” answered Donald. “Then if you can look in here tomorrow at Il, we may talk matters over. And now permit me to wish you good evening,” said the professor cordially. Donald took the proffered hand and felt a sense of disgust at the touch of the limp fingers. He strode out of the club and took a taxicab to the station. The Baltimore train Late that night Lieut. loose sheet smile of there is no record of our “Poor Masterman was was just about to leave. Paget found the captain's house. It proved to be in a little old-fashioned thoroughfare flanked by neat two-story houses. Pach had a tiny back. garden surrounded by a high wall. There was about it an atmosphere, if mot of mystery, at any rate of the retirement common to such backwaters in the roaring streams of city life. The captain's was the last house in the street. Tt stood a little farther back than the rest and was turned slightly askew, facing them obliquely, as though it knew itself to be out of place and Was watching its neighbors apprehensively over its shoulder. There was no light shades. A small dome on contain a telescope. Donald climbed a back, and went up of the drawn seemed to behind any a flat roof fence, walked round to the the weed-grown path. The grass had not been mowed since it sprouted in spring; the garden was unkempt and rugged. Donald felt sure that there was nobody within. As he trod the flags of the garden walk, he fancied he heard the footsteps of a man in the street, following him. He stopped and listened. but now no sound was to be heard... He peered back into the darkness, but saw’ nobody. Doubt- less it was a hallucination; it was a place of echoes and hauntings. And it seemed singularly appropriate for old Masterman to have had his lonely residence here, matching his lonely life. As Donald had anticipated the front door was locked, and the window of the living room was apparently nailed up. He traversed the narrow path that led to the back of the house. To his surprise, the kitchen windovw was open. Then it occurred to him that Masterman had, of course, gone directly home on his return from his last earthly voyage. He swung himself across the window sill and dropped to the kitchen floor. He lit a match and found the gas. The yellow flare disclosed a very ordinary kitchen. Masterman’'s coat hung on a nail beside the window, and he had been cooking porridge upon the range. Donald went through into a room at the back of the house, which had ap- parently Leen built out at a date subsequent to the completion of the structure in its original form. He stopped short at the threshold, “swish, swish” of water. Tt was not falling water, but a gentle, continu- ous rippling. It occurred to him that it was, on a smaller scale, the sound that a seal makes in the course of its ceaseless peregrinations around its tank. The light from the gas in the kitchen did not illuminate the room. Donald struck another match and held it out at arm’s length. Now he perceived that the rear of the house was sem!- circular, resembling a conservatory. There was a palm tree in a huge pot on either side of what looked like an enormous goldfish bow! Behind this was a second bowl, even larger. in the middle of the room was a compli- cated apparatus resembling a retort. He saw a chandelier close to the wall. It was evident that this room and the kitchen had once formed a single chamber, when it hung from the central part of the ceiling. Donald lit three gas-jets. The light flickered and sputtered as the air rushed out. Then, when it had grown steady, Donald saw that a sort of photographic lens was attached to a box in front of the apparatus, di- rected toward the great tank between palms. The steady splashing = continued. Something was swimming in the tank. Donald could see the waters ripple slightly, as though the inmate was almost submerged. But the tank itself seemed empty. Approaching, he perceived that the top of the tapk was covered with glass. A slender tube of the same material entered the water from above where it was supported upon an arm extended from a wall. There was a connection between the tube and another which ran upward from the hearing the fop of the retort * eae ry EEP SEA PERE » Y Presently Donald caught sight of a barometer attached to the front of the mechanism. Now he began to understand. The object in the tank, whatever it was, was under a pressure of a num- ber of atmospheres. He approached the tank and walked round it, peering into it from every side. He saw the rip- ples of the water, and there was a faint sound as of a fin brushed against the glass. But he could see nothing in the nature of a living thing. He could trace the movements, “as of some in- visible body. He saw the ripples glide forward along the surface, strike the glass wall opposite, and continue at a right angle, turning again and again as the creature continued on its steady course. The sensation was uncanny. Capt. Mas- terman's words came back to Donald: “I’ve brought my specimen home.” He was aware of an impulse to bolt. Instead of which, however, he concentrated all his attention on the tank. The movements in the water subsided. Donald had the impression that the invisible creature had stopped and was regarding him. He saw a gentle swirl as if a body stood upright within the tank Then a sound from the tank drew him toward it. It was a musical ringing, exactly like that pro- duced by drawing the finger tip around the top of a bow) of water—a long-drawn sound, sweet and clear. Donald looked into: the tank, which was open at the top and not con- nected with the apparatus. But he could see nothing there, either. He turned back to the first ! tank, and all at once he perceived two black specks, close together, halfway between the top of the water and the glass roof. Fach was about the size of a small currant, Donald went nearer. He saw them move Then he started backward, overcome with horror. The black specks were the pupils of a pair of eyes fixed on his and following them! Like all sailors, Donald Paget was not free from superstition. Any known danger he could have faced bravely, but this unknown thing was revolting. He felt his Knees give under him. His impulse was to fly. He turned, and at that momen: something descended upon his head and struck him, half con- scious, to the floor. Dimly, through the gathering mists he made out the form of a middle-aged bearded man. He saw the red face, the shrewd gray eyes that looked into his, and recognized MacBeard. be- side him lay the sandbag with which che man had felled hiin. Unable to move, Donald felt McBeard rifling his pockets one by one, until he came upon th» envelope containing Masterman’'s communication. MacBeard drew it forth with a grunt and stood up under the gas to examine it A brief survey satisfied him that he had found what he was seeking. He grunted again and looked down at Donald. Ap- parently satisfied with his work, he turned toward the water tanks. He must have heard the splasing of the monster as it re- sumed its journeyings, for he stared an instant, and then, as if curious, he drew nearer to the first of the tanks with the air- pipe attachment. He stood quite still, looking at the thing in the water. Don- ald wondered whether he had discovered it, and whether he had perceived the eyes. He knew in a moment, “for with a yell MacBeard started backward. He stumbled against one of the palms and sent it crashing to the floor. MacBeard, who had fallen with it, picked himself up and ran in terror. Donald heard his foot- steps pattering along the flairs outside. He heard the slam of the creaking gate. He knew that the professor, having obtained the document, was likely to return. And he had almost done the same thing himself. No doubt, MacBeard had really learned man’s address, either that night from the clerk, or more probably, at an earlier period, and Lelieving that Donald was in possession of it, and would go to the house, had followed him there. Donald staggered to his feet, clutched at the wall to steady himself, and remained thus, while the swimming room gradually grew still. The light from the gas-jet fell] upon the water tanks. Donald had a queer illusion. He thought he saw the very misty outlines of the body of a beautiful woman, the merest shad- owy shape, which swam before his eyes and was gone, reappeared, veiled in a sort of prismatic blend of coloring. But before he had time to convince himself that it was not the result of his injury, to his horror he perceived very clearly a cloudy form beginning to take shape within the nearer tank. The outlines grew clearer momentarily. what seemed to be the body of a hairless monkey, supporting itself upon webbed feet, or flappers Budding out from the sides were two similar arms, the webbed hands pressing against the sides of the tank. The outlines were at first so vague as to be a! most imperceptible, then ‘the crystalline body be came opalescent and milky, resembling the white of an egg. It hardened and, as it hardened, swelled. Donald saw the chest heave, the gaplike mouth contorted. And suddenly he realized that pitiful thing was suffering. He saw immediately that the professor's fal! had disarranged the tubes that led to the tank That, and the removal of the glass lid, which Mac- Beard'’s tumble had knocked to the floor, had re- duced the air pressure to normal. The creature was suffering because there were only 16 pounds of air upon each square inch of its surface. It suffered just as a human being suffers on a high mountain. It squirmed and writhed, and the water wa. churned up by its flappers. The gill openings be- neath the ears flapped convulsively. Donald could do nothing. He knew that it was growing visible because it was dying, as happens with the crystalline crats and other invisible denizens of the deep sea. Soon the force of the internal pres- sure would disrupt it. He turned off the gas and staggered out through the kitchen into the little garden.

MacBeard's past, though it seemed shady and criminal, had little Interest for Donald then. He resolved to put Masterman out of his mind in at- tention to his duties. Of one thing only he was sure: he was not going back to the house to see whether there were any more specimens. Somehow——he never quite remembered how— Donald found a hotel, explained his appearance to the landlord, obtained fresh clothing, sent for his valise, drank three hot whisky toddies, and got to bed CHAPTER IV. The Quest of the Sea Shark. {[EUT. DONALD PAGET stood on the upper platform of the F-565, which ran awash in the waves of the North Atlantic, far from the mother ship which had convoyed her and others of the flotilla almost to the north of Scotland. The frail little craft hummed nojsily as her patrol motors drove the twin screws through the water. The F-55, one of the older type of sub- marine, was making 19 knots through a difficult At the height of his narrative, the Captain suddenly Prof. Ira MacBeard, a scientist, attempts to obtain papers left by the Captain and Within her 250 feet by 15 she held an amaz- ing potentiality for destruction. Every inch of the little submersible seemed filled with mechanism, leaving the scantiest liv- ing quarters for her captain and crew of eight men. In the stern were her petrol motors, and the electric ones for driving under water. Amid- ships were the men’s and captain’s quarters, on either side of the conning tower. The bow was occupied by the torpedo room, the torpedo air- tank, compensating tank, and launching tube, from which the deadly missiles were to be sent forth against enemy ships. In addition, space had to be found for the pert- Sea. ! ,4 ae ity + ak 5 Bate - +e.

In the few days that he had been at sea the sense of responsibility for his ship and the lives had weighed on Donald heavily. Now, entering the conning tower, and taking his stand beside the lookout man, he seemed to assume a dual personality. One part of him bent itself au- tomatically to its task. The other was thinking over the events of the past few days and ponder- ing on their significance. ‘ He still believed that Masterman had teen mad The marine monster which he had seen within the tank had ceased to have any especial signifi- cance to him, even in the light of the conversa- tion at the club. Donald regarded it merely as a specimen of deep-sea life, discovered and brought home by Masterman. On the day following his visit to Baltimore, Donald had telegraphed repeatedly to New York, but no news had been received of the Beotia, and he had been unable to obtain any information concerning her from any of the port officials. Hie had finally gone aboard at Newport News in a very disappointed frame of mind, hopeless of meeting Ida Kennedy until after the war The chances of his surviving it did not appear to him to be brilliant ones A last message fromthe mother ship informed him to keep his course toward the Shetlands, He was instructed that a battle cruiser had slipped out of the Kiel Canal and was lurking somewhere among the Norwegian fjords, with a view to evading the blockade, making for the Atlantic, and harassing shipping there. The tnference from this statement wag an obvious one, for the Amer- + can be tvpe of helplessness reap- pedo and of his men aren | Pier. ue | “n | "alt LB ’ i ih Ame S Bae ol patrol joined the British in this longi- ‘ ican fleet's tude. “Smoke to starboard, sir!’ Sam Clouts, the lookout, was speaking, and in- Stantly the two parts of Donald's personality fused. Ida Kennedy was forgotten. Upon the horizon, through his glasses, Donald could see a tiny spiral of curling smoke. He flung over the surface steering wheel and headed the F-55 straight for the stranger. From that distance he knew that, while he could see the funnels of the ship, the sutmarine was in- visible, owing to the curvature of the earth. Relinquishing the wheel to Clouts, he watched the stranger. Gradually the smoke thickened: then there came into view two funnels, and a hull half invisible among the chopping waves. It was impossible to mistake the oncoming ship. She was a battle cruiser of the Bluecher class, and she could only be escaping westward to harry commerce along the Atlantic trade route. With her fast heels and 12-inch guns, she could match any unit afloat except those of the home squad- ron. Donald's luck was with him after all. She was proceeding west-nor’-west, purposing to round the Shetlands and so gain the shelter of the open seas. It was a daring maneuver, and she would certainly be sighted by the British destroyer flotilla. Still, though she could hardly outsteam these fast little craft, she might beat them off and es- cape before either the British or the American blockading vessels could come upon the scene. Donald spoke a sharp com- inand into the tube of the diving station. The hatch was jammed down, The horizontal rudders ut the bow were deflected. the water rushed into the diving tanks and the F-55 began to dip. The surface running light Slanted seaward as the bow went under, and slowly regained its poise as the stern followed, bringing the F-55 back to an even keel. The hum of the pe- trol motors ceased, the hull was filled with the roar of the in- rushing water; then the electric motors took up their steady throbbing.’ 1’ “fl “Five meters!” announced the All| man at the depth = tindicator. iI “Six meters! Seven—half!” ” The cold of ‘the sea crept through the thin sheaths of the hull and pervaded the interior. The electric heaters began to diffuse an even warmth through- out the vesel. The tanks were nearly full. The surface running and signal lights had _ disap- peared, and only the turning periscope was visible. Within the conning tower Donald kept his ey@és8 glued to the mirror. The enemy cruiser came into the vision of his are of 60 de- grees. He held her in the center. At first the hum of the elec- tric motors dominated all other sounds, but gradually it became blended with a medley of noises, Placing his ear a moment the plating of the hull, Donald could hear aie steady though faint pounding which came, not from within, but from the bear- ings of the distant warship, transmitted under water. Somewhere, too, Donald fancied that a de- stroyer was speeding toward them, for there was a faint and almost imperceptible whirring, as of high-speed machinery. Mixed with the throb of the screws there came the sound of their suction. There was also that sound peculiar to each ship. expressive of her individuality, resembling nothing so much as the subdued hum of distant voices If only Donald evidently "til vib ai 1d [> against had had a rotary receiver, it have been possible to be almost as much at home here as above water. But the old F-55, otsolete craft that she was, had been hurried to sea with neither receiving nor transmitting ap- paratus might breaking over the periscope, obscured his vision. Sometimes, too, the cruiser shifted outside her arc; then the periscope motor started anew, and slowly she would swing back, zrowing more discernible. Below, the men, who understood that an enemy ship was near, waited in suppressed excitement. “We'll have to try her at a mile, Clouts,” said Donald to the lookout. He carried only three torpedoes. He would have liked to close in and make sure of his prey, but a shot at almost the extreme range seemed preferable to hazarding the vessel and the lives of his crew. “Aye. At times the seas, answered Sam Clouts. was a man of about 40 years, bland, humorous blue eyes, and a jaw under a square, bristling beard. When duty he was perpetually playing a mouth- and Donald could not help smiling to see covetously toward his pocket sir!” Clouts hook- nosed, with square off organ, hand stealing even now. his The German could hardly have been more than a mile away when she suddenly changed her course to westward. Donald had been approach- ing her head on, with the object of maneuvering, when within striking distance, to send a torpedo amidships. The new course of the vessel was a bitter disappointment to him. Already her image was teginning to diminish on the periscope mirror, and moving toward the edge In a straight chase she would leave him hopelessly behind. Her speed, even if the sub- marine came up, was nearly three times as fast. Donald realized that she was nearing the Shet- lands and endeavoring to make the passage be- tween mainland and Fair Island. That waa the most hazardous part of her journey. Once be- yond the straits, she would be free in the open Atlantic. He gave the order to rive. The tanks were blown, the rudders and diving planes adjusted: the F-55 began to mount upward. A green trans- lucency appeared. The electric lights went out. The hatches were opened A gust of fresh air drove the stale atmosphere away. The petrol motors took up the task of the electric ones. The cruiser was nearly two miles distant. With her changed course the submarine might be able to get within torpedo range if the German turned to negotiate the intricate, rocky passage. Donaid ordered full speed. The vessel drove high through the waves, achieving 12 knots. A shadow edged the misty herison. It was Sumburgh head, the extreme southerly point of the Shetlands. Here the cruiser was due to turn “Smoke to port, sir!” said Clouta. The German had evidently seen it at the same time, for her speed began to diminish. This meant that she was steering cautiously to gain a me = y ARE Tha SERIES - wwe SF poe eee 5) a ie hm See aa FS the shelter of Sumburgh, behind which she might. lie unobserved for observation. If it was an English tattle cruiser that was approaching, the ship would be hard put te it to escape. It was not likely that the oncoming_ ship had sighted her mem through the at dee ing haze. Donald drove main channel. hard for the while, inch by inch, the stranger came up out of the sea. At first Donald believed she was a British pie” tle cruiser. ever, when three her funnels showed Line, and the heavy hull, built for freight, speed. His heart began to thump heavily. Beotia was one of the Claude Line’s ships, and the approaching vessel looked very much like the overdue Beotia. Evidently she had received wireless messages advising her to take the northerly route. This would accou for her delay. She must have ex- pected to be ked up by an escorting cruiser. And Ida was aboard her, and already well with- in range of the enemyfs guns! The two ships had sighted each other. Donald saw the Beotin' diminish to a thread line as she turned and fan, prow on, toward the Orkneys. A spurt of flame broke from the German's bow. A coil of cloud followed it. A few seconds later the boom of the discharge echoed across the water, and a pillar of spray shot up near the’ Beotia’'s bow. The battleship turned toward her prey. , 2 And Donald's chance had come. ee The Beotia had no intention of surrendering. The Germans, following her, perceived the lurk- ing danger, and at once his guns were trained on the submarine. a The F-55 dipped at the bow. A shell hooted. over her, and a second, falling shorter, deluged the submersible with water. But the F-65 was stern down and sinking. Her periscope shot through the waves, the only target, and in th conning tower Donald sat with his eyes fast én the mirror. id Ten feet below the surface, the F-655 plungé? on toward the monarch of the sea. A The sound of the guns was vastly louder und the waves. A single shot, sent home, wot smash through the thin plates as if they were, of paper. But Donald knew that it was the s preme moment when danger must be ignored. He seemed to sense the ship, the crew, as a sin- gle entity, devoted to a single purpose. He aimed his bow directly into his enemy's port flank. fhe was less than a mile away. At that distance it seemed a miracle that her shells failed to strike home. Down in the torpedo room three men bore a torpedo from the rack and placed it in the slings. They swung it forward into the breech of the tube. One man at the pump rapidly filled the breech chamber with the compressed air that waa to send the missile upon tts course. > Donald, in the conning tower, still held ‘the cruiser within the mirror. He saw the amoke coil from her guns, he heard their dull reverbera- tion, and knew that at any moment the blinded F-55 might be sent staggering to her death throwgh the wake of her wash. But he was animated by the single-minded purpose which inspired all tnd made the steel and human mechanism a bolt forged for death. Clouts, at the wheel, did not allow the little craft to deviate a hair's breadth from her course. “Stand by!’ The hiss of the oxygen apparatus dominated,a!! other sounds. At her 45-knot speed the missile left the launching tute with a heavy thud, end the ship quivered as she shook herself free. And Donald saw that his shot had gone home. He stopped the electric motor and waited. Al! could hear: plainly the whir of the machinery within the torpedo as she sped on her way, and the three-quarters of a minute interval that fo!l- lowed was fraught with the most intense sus- pense. In the torpedo-room the men were al- ready placing a second missile within the sling The whir grew less, but all listened until the end of the mile-long journey. On board the enemy @hip everyone could seethe air bubbles that came up from the speeding mi-s- sile and its white, foaming wake. There was-no time to maneuver the giant ship. They prayed- they could do no more—that the torpedo migti' not have been shot true: that it might deviate from its imminent path. . ; It came on inexorably. The firing became wilder The gunners, absorbed as they were in their task, seemed to permeate with the contagious terror caused by that white, rippling pencil line that Was extending toward their ship. P The missile struck the battle cruiser amidships. blowing out a section of her hull, a single water- tight compartment. The cruiser hardly staggered from the blow. The torpedo had struck glancing. and otased the full force of its delivery. The wound waa in itself too small to sink or even badly cripple the great ship: a triumph of shipbullding, and calcu- lated to withstand just such an impact. Unfortunately for her, the maximum of the shock was received teneath the powder room. ad- jacent to the ammunition chamber. whose doors were open at that moment for the removal of the 12-inch shells by the ammunition hoist. The shock was followed by an infinite suspense. Perhaps it lasted for two seconds. The cruiser drove through the waves like some sea monstér that had received a deadly thrust unscathed. — Then, with a detonation that was heard from Sumburgh to Sutherland, she went eky-high in tumbling ruin. Donald, within the conning tower, saw a blur frost the mirror of the periscope. .. Another second passed, Then the F-55 went reel. ing under the terrific force of the explosion. She spun round under the waves and thrilled as if ete herself faced disruption. The bilge-pumps cleared her diving tanks. She rose, nose upward, scenting the air: her stern fol. lowed, and she lay awash in the water once more. The hatches were removed. Not a veatige of the cruiser wae to be seen. weit had sunk in less than three minutes. But hard by, not three-quarters of a mile ‘ port, a pillar of smoke. lit up by Mame, curied o@t of the Beotia’s hatches. Deeming her the submeé- rine’s decoy, the cruiser’s gunners had riddled tér with shells from the two 12-inch guns at the bow. She seemed to stagger through the smoxe that wreathed her. She was dying by fire and water, too, and the twin elements, in their eternal con- flict, recked nothing of her human freight. And Ida was there—Ida. doomed to perish, tf she were not already dead, unless help speedily came.! TO BE CONTINUED IN NEXT, SUNDAY’S POST-DISPATCH. (Cepyright by W. G. Chapman.)

Two years ago he gave 2 hellers for it, while now he must part with % hellers and not complain of the unproportionate amount of froth ornamenting its su:facc. e . 7 These conditions may be met by per- sons of means, but the masses can be in no position to purchase food having these inflated values. Great self-de- nial has to be practiced on all sides by the millions, and the *wonder is that poor people can find ways of existing. Yet the proletariat does this without complaining. How much longer the people can or will live under these con- ditions one cannot predict. es s w There is work in Vienna for all who want it. Certain streets are gay with restaurants and music-hall life, bus there are side streets, many of them, where misery and suffering are ram- pant. There are charities for soldiers in hundreds of forms, scldiers in the trenches, legless, armless or blind so]- diers, and soldiers in hospitals. Bur the civilian poor appear almost over- looked, and their suffering is great Countless poor women and children stand in line waiting for the daily dis- tribution of bread or milk. . e - Vienna seems to have adjusted itself to war conditions as if warfare had be- come the business of the nation. Nat- urally, the feminine element is far and away predominant. One does not see much mourning worn, and to go by ex- ternals, one would think, sitting in a theater, that there was no war at all. There is something inexplicable in the psychological attitude of the people. Cafes, hotels and theaters are always crowded, and the Court Opera seems to go on its way as if Austria-Hungary were not involved in the greatest con- flict in history. The opera’s repertoire is limited chiefly to Wagnerian compo- Sitions and standard selections popular 40 or 50 years ago. No work by a living Italian or French composer is given, but ‘Aida’ has frequent presentations be- cause Verdi no longer lives. . ” * The National Feeding Problem. With careful economy and prudence » 70 per cent crop is sufficient to sustain the 562,000,000 inhabitants of the Dual! Monarchy, but with little for waste and less for luxury. Austria-Hungary can feed itself indefinitely on a 70 per cent yearly crop, while a 6 per cent crop would spell famine for millions. A 50 per cent crop means starvation and de- feat. Next year’s crop will not greatly exceed 50 per cent. First, because 8,000,- 000 men, mostly of the agrarian class. have been removed from this vocatton, and their places in the fields filled by old and infirm men and women and chil- dren. Secondly, it calls for little argu- ment that Russian, Italian and Servian prisoners of war assigned to farm labor work as prisoners the world over do, half-heartedly and perfunctorily. It is believed that a half million prisoners were set to work in Austria and in Hun- gary for the planting and harvesting seasons. It is a fact that this year’s area is decidedly iess than in peace times, and it is likewise true that with fully half of the cattle and horses killed or used in the war, there has been a decided curtailment in the supply of. fertilizer. In many parts of the monarchy not enough cattle are left to haul the ma- nure from the barnyard to the fields. The shortage in cattle is best shown by their present value, which is about $1200 for a pair of good oven. A horse ordinarily worth $150 is scarcely obtain- able now at $500, while a good cow has a value of at least $300. ae & * Army Grafters Convicted. In the last few months several army contractors h@ve been punished with prison sentences for supplying the troops with shoes whose soles and heels were found to be made chiefly of paper. 7 = Two petroleum refining companies in yalicia are getting rick. The Fanto company’s last yearly report announced a working profit of 73 per cent, but thie was cast into the shade by the report of the Kolin company, which, with a frankness almost brutal, announced that for the year ending July 1 the profit had been 2,000,000 crowns. As this was earned on a capital of 1,500,000 crowns, the profit was just over 133 per cent. From 1907 to 1915 the Kolin company paid its stockholders not a heller in dividends, and Vienna is asking why a company can so suddenly increase its profits from nothing to 133 per cent. . . . More than three-quarters of the Aus- trian lace and embroidery factories are closed, and the work people starving. It has not been possible, as in other branches of the textile industry, to con- vert these factories into munition works, as the machinery cannot be adapted. Moreover, the supply of raw materials is completely exhausted, and also there is very little demand for laces. . * * For a year or morre trial by jury has been suspended in Austria. The last de- cree issued in this connection suspended trial by jury on the grolnd, ‘‘First, be- cause it is extremely difficult to draw up lists of men available for service on juries; secondly, because cool and im- partial judgment cannot be expected in these abnormal! times.’’ Juries have really been suspended, however, for fear of acquittals in the numerous political trials of malcontent Czechs and other Slavs. Women Doing Their Part. Austria is a friendly asylum for po- tentates. Prince Mirko, the younger son of King Nicholas of Montenegro, is one He has been under treatment for tuner culosis in a Vienna scuitarium, but it is a question whether he is the guest of the Austro-Hungarian Government or its prisoner. Then there ts Don Miguel de Braganza, claimant to the throne of Portugal, a General on active service in the army of Austria-Hungary, and Don Jaime, the Duke of Madrid, who suc- ceeded to the claim to the Spanish throne when his father, Don Carlos, died, living on his inherited estate » miles out of Vienna, and the Duke o* Cumberland, rightful King of Hanover, living in regal state in a castie at Gminden, overlooking the beautiful Traunsee. He is a royal Duke of Great Britain and Ireland and very rich. His highness, Abbas Pasha, deposed from the Khedivate of Egypt by the British. who for a long time was a sojourner in Vienna, has for some months been living near Gepeva, in neutral Switzerland, American women could not withhoid their admiration if they might see how women of every walk of life have risen to the needs of the war. In Vienna women act as fare collectors the tramcars, street cleaners. window wash- ers and letter carriers, and even as light porters in the streets. “They first relieved their brothers and fathers as waiters in hundreds of cafes and res- taurants, and as the war progressed the lighter forms of work in the building — in and footmen were called to arms are now served by women, and well served. The entrance to the city palace of a princely family is guarded by a sturdy provincial woman, who admirably regu- lates the going and coming of vehicles. Since the beginning of the conflict the major share of farm work has been per- formed by women and girls, who repair the roads, load and unload railway trucks at the stations, and do men’s titude of private families whose waiters] work in dozens of ways. In fact, the calls of the Emperor have left no a bodied men on farm or in vill town. There are very few occupations that have not been wholly or in part turned over to women laborers, and each toiler appears proud to be permitted to do what she may for her country in its hour of need. Probably three-fourths of the labor in the vast ammunition fac- tories is supplied by women and giris. (To be continued in the Post-Dispatch Monday. trade were surrendered to them.

Ice Fund last season, which was splen- accomplished as a result of the production of one of the greatest chil- dren's entertainments in the history of the Fund, in Harberger’s Hall, has ac- quiesced in a request made by several of her pupils of the Children’s Choral Club that a dance and cabaret be ar- didly needy babies through the Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund. Post-Dispatch the scope of the affair, which will take the form of a social dance, with a chil- dren’s cabaret similar to the highly successful event of that nature iast year, and an act by high school giris and boys. She has also fixed the even- ing of Aug. 12 for the event.

Mrs. to determine Mrs. Marguerite Hopkins, who gave unstintedliy of her time, patience and Skill to the sok eran 2 of the Milk and eee deavors of the current campaign sea- son, in view of the organizing skill and efficient management of Mrs. Hopkins. Charles L. Holman, president and general manager of the Laclede Gas Light Co., has given the heroic un- dertaking of little Misses Birdie and Leona Hurwitz of 27 Lewis place, to raise $200 for the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund, a substantial lift and encouragement. These capti- 'vating young sisters visited President Holman on their flower-selling mission, and their explicit and convincing state- ment of the merits of the cause so won his sympathy that he wrote them a check for $25 and invited them to pay him another visit. That contribution Was materially reinforced by lesser sums from other philanthropic men and women during the week, so that the little campaigners in behalf of the needy infants have gone well past the half-way line of their appointed goal. One of the really delightful affairs of the past week for the fund was that given by- a group of bright and charm- ing children at the home of Mrs. T. M. Biggers, 5854 Romaine place, the finan- cial result being $10. There was sing- ing and recitations afd music by a victrola, the whole constituting an en- tertainment that was more than pleas- ing to a large audience. Tickets were 5 cents for children and 10 cents for adults, who received, in addition to the enjoyable program, lemonade and cake. The children desire to make ac- knowledgmentu of valatie assistance from the women of the neighborhood in the serving of refreshments, also to the Morrison Tent and Awning Co. for curtains. Romeo and Jullet Staged. The little ones who proved such de- lightful entertainers and hosts during the evening were: Marie and Edward O'Neill, 5879 Romaine place; Catherine and Delaney Curren, 5858 Romaine; Hel- en and Ruth Biggers, 5854 Romaine, and Theresa Willmering, 5850 Romaine place. A three-act play, “‘Romeo and Juli- ette,’’ was the main feature of a truly fascinating and otherwise successful play for the Milk and Ice Fund, given by a group of talented and pretty chil- dren on the lawn of the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Ryan 5016 St. Louis avenue. Anna Marie Ryan was the capable leading character, Juliette, while Esther Lehmann was a thorough- ly Romantic Romeo and Eleanor Cur- ren a captivating Carmen. There were also well chosen and happily given reci- tations by Anna Marie Ryan, Eleanor and Alice Curren, Esther and Paul Léh- mann. Songs also were interspersed and added greatly to the enjoyment of the evening. These were sung by Au- drey Grey, including ‘‘What Do You Want to Make Those Eeyes at Me For, When They Don’t Mean What They Say?’ and “I’m Blue, So Blue.”’ Alice Curren also gave an excellent vocal number, ‘‘Lullaby,’’ and there Was a graceful interpretation of the Manhattan dance by Anna Marie Ryan and of an Irish reel dance by Mary Gainey and Richard E. Ryan. The performance concluded with patri- > otic airs sung by the entire company.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 22, 1917. ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH —————— a U. $, COURT DENIES HARGADINE RIGHT TO FILE AS BANKRUPT Judge Carland, inh Deciding Appeal, Reverses Decision of Dis- trict Tribunal. Judge Carland of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals handed down a decision yesterday reversing the de- cision of the United States District Court of St. Louis granting authority to the Hargadine-McKittrick Dry Goods Co. te file a voluntary petition in bank- ruptcy. The Court directed that the intervening petition c;* George J. Zeit- inger and other creditors be filed. Zeitinger and other creditors of th company had a receiver appointed by the Circuit Court of St. Louis in 1915 but last January the company asked the Federal Court to permit it to go Into, voluntary barkruptey. The scheduled liabilities of $492,397 and assets of $390,000, of which $196,000 was in cash Zeitinger was formerly an employe of the company and a stockholder. He and other stockholders’ started litigation against the company following its liqui- dation in 1915. Zeitinger lost several! thousand dollars when the company dis- continued business, and many of the other emploves of the company who had . >, Way company ¢ invested in its stock also suffered he: ivy idsses. It was charged that the com- pany’s failure was due principally to the promotion and financing of the Rai!- Exchange Building by officers of the company. ee n= ee Miss tusk Brought Into Court.

PECRINGTON OF THE GOLDEN LION IS DEAD AT Aut OF 63 Proprietor of Renowned ‘“Tav- ern Bar’’ Had Filed Bankrupt- cy Petition June 26. LIKE A BRITISH TAVERN Introduced Ale and Porter on Draught, Pewter Mugs and Merchants Lunch. John W. Peckington, 69 years old, who made and lost a fortune as a saloonkeeper in St. Louis, died of kidney trouble at his home 1412 Glas- gow avenue, at 7:30 a. m. * yester- day. After filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, Peckington closed his “Golden ‘Lion” saloon in the rear of 716 Olive street June 26. In his bankruptcy petition Pecking- ton asked leave to file as a “poor per- son,” asserting that he had no money with which to pay court costs, He stated his liabilities were $3,452.43 and his assets $1900, con- sisting mainly of his saloon fixtures and furnishings. He asked that he Le permitted under the legal $300 ex- emption, to retain the fixtures and the paintings which “adorned the wal?’ of his saloon. He had bee ill several months. Sur- vivinge members of his family are his wife and two married daughters. Lik English Taproom. Peckington had been a saloon pro- prietor in S*. Lovic 38 years. His original staid at the northeast cor- ner of Seventh and Pine streets had ! an. many of th characteristics of English “taproom” or tavern with sawdust on the floor, ale and stout on 21ift and pictures of British pri -nyviters and race horses on the walls. In every way it re- flected the nationality and predilec- tions of its owner. 1 his later location in the rear of 716 Qlive. street, Peckington made some methods, but thing unmistakably British about the place. Peckington was the first St. Louis saloon keeper who sold imported ale and porter on draft. The pewter mugs which were part of his bar equipment were a decided novelty when he intro- duced them here. He also was the inaugurator in St. Louis of the so-called ‘‘merchants’ lunch,’’ a midday meal served at tables. For many years he sold the lunch and a glass of beer, ale or stout for 15 cents. He also was said to have been the first St. Louis saloon keeper who served oys- ters in a glass at the bar. Catsup, pep- per sauce and paprika sauce were fur- nished with the oysters and the price was much lower than that of the pres- ent-day oyster cocktail. Victoria Club Famoas. The Victoria Club, in a room back of Peckington’s Seventh street place was typically British. It was a Saturday night club where customers of the place gathered for entertainment. There Was a piano which in time grew discord- ant, but not less noisy. It was said that anyone who could sing off-key and drop his “‘aitches’’ could obtain a hear- ing at the Victoria Club. The proceed- ings were entirely informal, except that Peckington acted as master of ceremo- nies and called for volunteer singers, story tellers and speechmakers. For many years Peckington would fire a Salute from a small cannon on the roof of his saloon on Queen Victoria's birthday. In those times automobile exhaust ex- plosions were still in the future and the firing of Peckington’s cannon always caused curiosity and some excitement. Newspaper offices would be besieged with telephone inquiries as to what was the matter. It required a long time for downtown St. Louis to become accus- tomed to Peckington’s tribute to the queen on her birthday. COMPANY A, THIRD REGIMENT, WILL HOLD REUMON TODAY War bar, Missouri Volunteers of Civil Fame Meet at Farm Near Stratman, Mo. A reunion of the surviving members of Company A, Third Regiment, Mis- souri Volunteers, United States Re- Serves, will be held today at Mrs. Schuetz’s farm, near the Olive Street road, at Stratman, Mo.

BOY, 14, ACCIDENTALLY SHOT TO DEATH BY HIS PLAYMATE Bullet Frem Small Rifle With Which George Buhkiman Is Playing Kills Frieard. While playing with a small rifle, George Buhlmann, 13 years old, of 3704 West Tesson street, shot and killed his friend, John Bleile, 14, of 370 West Primm street, at 9 a. m. yesterday. Neigibors heard the boy exclaim “I'm shot" and saw him fall on the lawn in front of Mrs. Mary Hawkins’ home at 3729 West Tesson street. He was dead when picked up. A bullet had en- tered his neck. The Buhimann boy was arrested, but later released on his promise to appear at the inquest. He wept and said the shooting was accidental.

WOMAN'S LEAGUE GROWING Adds Six Thousand New Mem- bers to Roster; is Doing War Relief Work. The St. Louis Catholic Woman’s League last week added 6000 mem- bers to its roster. The league is one of the youngest of the women’s war relief organiza- tions of the city. It was organized June 18, in affiliation with the Wom- en's Committee, Council of National Defense, to combine the various Catholic sodalities, social and bene- fit organizations of the St. Louis diocese, in war relief work. It works in co-operation with the Women's Food Conservation Committee, the local Red Cross and other recognized war relief bodies. The 6000 increase of membership was gained mainly through consoli- dation into its organization of the Children of Mary of the Academy of the Visitation in Cabanne, which brought into its ranks a large-andy organized body of workers who had already been diligent in Red Cross work, and sodalities and other so- cieties of some of the larger parishes of the city, St. Farncis Xavier's Church alone enrolling 700 workers from its Mary and Martha and Altar Societies. The Visitation group made its first appearance under the control of the league last week, when it turned out, in a single day, 1500 sheets for thie Red Cross. The Catholic Women’s League will have July 30 as its next day in charge of the Red Cross workrooms in the Kinloch Building. Beginning Sept. 1 they will take over that work- room one day each week.

In addition to the children who belong to the various play- ground groups about 1000 orphan chil- dren will be provided with transporta- tion to and from the park by the club, and will share in the festivities. At a picnic given in Tower Grove Para Thursday for the Missouri Division Workers for the Cripples, the Rotary Club distributed presents to all the chi'- dren. Walter D.

Seats will be sold every day at the downtown department stores; six box offices at the theater will open evenings at 7 «clock. he story of Pagliacci follows: In the orchestral introduction Tonio, in his clown costume appears in front of the curtain and begs permission to revive the ancient Greek prologue. He then comes forward as Prologue and explains that the subject of the play is taken from real life; reminds the au- dience that actors are but men, with passions like their own, and that the author has endeavored to express the real feelings and sentiments of the characters he will introduce. He then orders up the curtain. The first act shows the entrance to an Italian village. Canio and his troupe of strolling players, or Pagliacci, have paraded through the village. Ca- nio announces a performance for that evening and goes with Peppe into the tavern. Tonio, the clown, remains be- hind ostensibly to care for the donkey, but takes advantage of his master's absence to make love to Nedda, Canio’s wife. She repulses him = scornfully, Striking him with her whip, and he swears to be revenged. Silvio, a rich young villager, in love with Nédda, now joins her and begs her to fly with him. She refuses, but admits that she loves him, her confession being over- heard by Tonio, who hurries in search of his master. Canio returns too late to Silvio, but hears: Nedda’s part- ing words, ‘‘Forever I am thine.’’ Mad with jealousy, he demands the lover's name, 7 when Nedda refuses, tries t. kill her, ‘but is restrained by the others. Nedda goes to dress and Canio is in despair at the thought of being obliged to play while his heart is breaking. A Play Within a Play. In the second act the curtain rises on the same scene as the play is about to begin. This proves to be the usual farce, in which the clown makes love to Columbine during the absence of her husband, Punchinello, but is laughed at, and resigns his pretensions, finally consenting to act as lookout while Columbine and her accepted lover, Harlequin, dine together. This conventional farce the situation in the real lives of the players, and when Punchinello (Canio) arrives and surprises the lovérs, as the play demands, he loses his head when he hears Columbine repeat in the farce the very words he overheard her say to her real lover earlier in the day. Mad with rage, he again demands her lover's name. Nedda tries to gave the situa- tion by continuing the play, while the uudience is delighted by such realistic acting until the intensity of Canio’sa passion begins to terrify them. The cther players endeavor to silence him, but in vain. Finally. stung by his taunts, Nedda defies him and is stab- bed, Canio hoping that in her death agony she will reveal the name of her lover. She falls, calling upon Silvio, who rushes from the crowd only to re- ceive in turn the dagger of the outraged husband. As Canio is disarmed by the peasants he cries as if in a dream, ‘‘La commedia e finita’’ (The comedy is ended). be see is very like & Feed Meeting at Faircreund. rood conservation will be discussed at a meeting of St. Louis and St. Louis County couneil of mothers’ cir- cles and parent teachers’ associations, at Fairground Wednesday afternoon What girl or woman hasn’t heard of lemon juice to remove complexion blemishes; to bleach the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty?

. = —— = = - = HOW GERMAN LEADERS IN 1915 THOUGHT WAR WOULD END Present-day desperate demand in the Central empires for a peace without in- demnities and annexations contrasts strangely with ambitious terms that offer on the principle of no indemnities and no annezxations, it is in- teresting to note the vast change that has taken place in Teutonic public opinion in the past two years. It would almost be amusing if the entire situation were not so serious. - In 1915 when the God of Victory perched high on the German 42's, when the Russians were in headlong flight, their armies demoralized and the country in an utterly chaotic condition, when the greater part of in- dutsrial France lay suppliant under the heel of the invader and Great Bri- tain was battering its armies and ships to pieces against the rocks of Gal- lipoli there was only one question in the German mind—how much terri- tory and how much indemnity shall we demand from the beaten foe? There were those who insisted. that Poland, the Baltic Provinces, Bel- gium, the French Meuse provinces, Calais and other channel ports must be incorporated in the German empire. England would be let off with an in- demnity but India, Ireland and other British colonial possessions could be given their autonomy. The Balkans were to be so distributed between Ger- many and her allies so as to assure a German path from Berlin to the Per- sian Gulf and the Hindu Kash. There were those less conservative who thought that the retention of Belgium and the Longwy district of France would be sufficient in the way of territory.~ There were also a few level headed Germans, even in that time who thought the best Germany could get would be spheres of influence in the Balkans and Mesopotamia. Here are the views of some of the German leaders as to the war aims of Germany in 1915 and their predictions as to what the war would be ex- pected to bring forth in the nert two years: 1: view of the growing demand in Germany and Austria for a peace Teutonic chiefs expected to enforce upon a shattered entente se ss a “Retention of Poland ,which will be made an autonomous state with a customs alliance; retention of a strip of Courland now held by Germany in Russia until an indemnity shall have been paid. “Restoration of at least a part of Germany’s colonial possessions and probably all. Absolute freedom of the seas. Evacuation of the Balkans by Russia. Complete Austro-German control there. The power to modernize Turkey without interference. The holding of other allied territory until all war indemnities are paid in full. ERNEST BASSERMAN, Head of the National Liberal Party. Aug. 7, 1915. 664 HE outcome of the present war can only be a peace which, by expand- ing our territories east, west and overseas, will protect us militarily and compensate us for the enormous sacrifices which the German nation already has made and is determined to continue to make until the war ter- minates successfully for us.” GEN. VON OESTERLY, Military Aid to the Kaiser. Sept. 14, 1915. é6 ELGIUM must become a part of the German empire in order to hold a knife under the nose of cowardly, perfidious England. Holland also may be persuaded to enter the German union by offering her great ad- vantages of sea rule. We will then be established over the infamous nation DR. SOLF, German Minister of Colonies. Oct. 9, 1915. 6 Ww* will maintain our previous colonial possessions and even increase Our only enemy from the colonial point of them after the war. view is England. At the very moment when we restore communications with the — Straits of Constantinople and drive the al- lied forces into the sea at Gallipoli, to- gether with the Italians and any other forces attaching themselves to these, the events that follow will develop like a well- written play. “The Turkish army will advance through Asia Minor and the Taurus in order to concentrate for a further advance at Da- mascus. Every new army that will pass through the Kilikia gate of the city of Sa- ladin will aggravate the terror of London. On the day when the British army on the Nile capitulates to the Turks or when they have to embark at Alexandria, the world power of Great Britain will sink into the deep from Gibraltar to Singappre. What~ she will save out of this catastrophe will not be decided by England alone.” RUDOLPH MARTIN, Former Min- ister of the Interior of Germany. March 9g, 1915. 66 ERMANY will dictate peace in Lon- don after two years more of fight- ing. First of all, an indemnity of 80 mil- liards of marks (18 billions) will be demanded, to be received by Germany, Austria and Turkey in the proportion of 16, 10 and 4. Germany will be established along the present French coast in a con- dition to control both Paris and London and possessed of thousands of flying ma- chines and 20,000 trained aviators. En- gland will be forced to consent to the con- struction of a channel tunnel equipped with four railroad tracks and an automo- bile highway, each end of which will be guarded by German troops. “Russia will be completely dismembered and divided among the neighboring Pow- ers. New states will be formed in the process of dismemberment, reigned over by Prussian Princes. “Not only is Alsace-Lorraine to remain German, but the great fortress of Belfort will also be lost to the French. “Of course, German army corps will have to be maintained both in France and England for from fiVe to ten years to see that the terms of peace are carried Into effect, but this would be done at the ex- pense of those countries. “If Germany, Austria and Turkey want to benefit for all time from the war they would do well to prepare at once a com- mon taxation agreement to extend from Hamburg to Basra on the Red Sea and from Calais to Baku on the Caspian Sea.” J. of shopkeepers. 1 F- _tria. The “Peace Terms” That Were | to Be Dictated in London by the Germans N the Spring of 1915, the following was the concep- tion of German peace terms which had the great- est vogue in the empire, being printed in most of the newspapers, placarded in all military and naval stations and sold in circular form: ing St. Petersburg and the whole of Poland. Austria will receive the whole south of Russia including Kieff and Odessa; Turkey the whole of the Caucasus including the Province of Saratow. The Russians will be separated not only from the Bal- G mc will take the Baltic provinces, includ- tic but from the Black and Caspian Seas as well. Swe- den will get Finland. Servia of course will go to Aus- If Rumania intervenes on the right side in time she will get Bessarabia and some minor territories. The embarrass des richesses of colonies, will, when the spoils come to be divided actually become a problem. So far as India and Egypt are concerned our only wish is that these nations liberate themselves from the En- glish yoke. To Algiers and Tunis and Morocco we would also restore their autonomy. With Belgium we of course take possession of the Congo state. The inter- ests of France in Morocco will cease at once since she has used its natives to fight against us. Turkey will occupy the Suez canal and the shares of that company held by Great Britain will be declared null and void. The economic conditions under which the annexed ter- ritories will be incorporated into Germany may be of various kinds but one fundamental principle must not. be lost sight of, viz—that electoral rights, that is, the right to elect members of the Reichstag remains a pre- rogative of the Germans living within the boundaries of the old empire. The natives of Poland will have their own Parliament in Warsaw, those of the Baltic prov- inces in St. Petersburg. The Belgians, of course, may retain their Parliament at Brussels, while for the an- nexed provinces of France, Calais, Rheims, Belfort, etc, a separate Diet could be established. Poland and Bel- gium might even remain kingdoms with Prussian Princes on the throne. But though the conquered territories will have no voice in the imperial legislation they will, of course, have to submit to conscription. The young Pole from Warsaw will serve three years “t Hanover, Duessel- dorf or Cologne. The Frenchman from Calais or Rheims will be sent to Breslau or Posen. The Russians of the Baltic provinces, like those of Belgium, will serve in Bavaria or Saxony. But the great fortresses such as Calais, Warsaw, Belfort and Riga will be garrisoned by none save the old Prussian regiments. Our future lies on the sea and beyond.” COUNT VON REVENTLOW, German Military Critic. May 12, 1915. éé € Be soil that has needed the sacrifice of so much German blood to wrest from the enemy shall not be given up whether it is situated in Belgium, France or elsewhere. We must march forward and ever forward to the channel, even though we should have to begin all over again and conquer once ~ more the old strongholds. The talons of the German Eagle never release their hold on the prey. “Down with the faint-hearted and dis- trusfful cabal who are making their rau- cous voice heard in every part of Germany to justify their own dark forebodings and infect others. “They dare to give expression to the be- lief that we shall fail to get the better of all our foes, and even should we win, they argue, our leaders will not know how to utilize their victory. They have no con- fidence themselves and they endeavor to shake the confidence of others.”’ FELIX PHILLIPI, German Dra- matist and Critic.

If we should lose the war England would never give them back to France. It is much better for France that we should hold them.” HERR STRESEMAN, a National Liberal Leader in the Reichstag. Dec. 23, 1915. é6 RITAIN is the keystone of our en- emies. If she falls the entire en- tente collapses. We must attack her where she is vulnerable. We must starve her out. As for America, we have little to fear from her. In the first place, should she break off diplomatic relations she will not enter the war if we are careful not to sink her ships. As American carrying ships play a small part in the trade to En- gland we can refrain from sinking them— although we would not naturally proclaim this. “In the second place, if America does declare war on Germany it would have lit- tle effect.

Herr Hellferich exerted powerful influence at the time of the Sussex dispute. “But our duty to ourselves is to win the war. If we starve England we win, no matter how many enemies we have. If we fail, another enemy, even the United States, could not make our defeat more thorough. We aro justified, for our existence is at stake. The only way we can escape defeat is by a successful U-boat war against England. That would change defeat into overwhelming victory. I am absolutely confident; that is why the slow methods of the Chancellor make me angry.

He went to Paris in 1909.

He attended lectures at the famous mili- Oe i ae tary schools of Paris, where he received entree through ac- ee ‘ qvaintance with French army officers. When the stern edict of war was handed down from Berlin in that fateful month of August, 1914, Sweeny at once saw an Op- porrunity for more adventure and a chance to serve the France he bad learned to love. Not only was it a chance for a scrap, but it meant to Sweeny and a little band of Americans in the French cavital the occasion for repaying a long-overdue obligation to af La Belle France. Gath- ering together his rath- er unsoldierly looking little group of adven- turesome Americans, Sweeny took them to Rouen, where they be- came members of the picturesque Foreign Le- gion, that organization described as men of all crimes and _é colors. Among those who con- secrated themselves to France along with Sweeny were Alan “ee- ger, the poet; Kiffin Rockwell and Paul Rockwell, young newspaper men of At- lanta, Ga.; Kenneth Weeks, famous Har- vard athlete; Billy Thaw of Pittsburg and Steve MacGordon. Of this daring little band only Sweeny and Thaw, the latter Prussian and Saxon regiments opposite our line. From him wW also learned that along the whole length of our first row ol trenches steps had been cut into the front bank in order to en- able us to mount without delay and that our own barbed-wire entanglements in front of the trenches had beet, pierced by lanes cut through every two meters, so that we might advance without . the slightest hindrance. On the night before the time set for the attack the commissioned officers, including the Colonel of the regiment, entered the front line trenches, and with stakes marked the front to be occupied by our regiment during the attack. Nothing was left to chance. Our line of advance was carefully described. Natural objects served as guides. The engineers were shown piles of bridging ready made in section planking, so that they might be readily placed over the German trenches and thus permit our guns and supply wagons to cross quickly behind our advance. Fifteen minutes after 9 the next morning was set for the time of advance. Every man knew the hour. One hour before the appointed time we passed the final inspection and deposited our last letters with the regimental Post- master. Those letters were in the minds of all the men in the long interim that fol- lowed. It was not so long, but it seemed an endless time. Suddenly the soldiers began to sing the Marseiliaise.

For an example of each type one needs just now but to turn to Ru.-- sia and consider the two men who apparently have emerged after three years of the European conflict as the comr anders until the war's conclusion of the Russian hosts under the banner of democracy. On the one hand we have Gen. Alexis A. Brusiloff, — descendant of gentlefolk, pupil of private tutors, and a man who, when he entered the army in his youth, found no boulders strewing the pathway to a commis- sion. On the other is Lieut.-Gen. L. G. Korniloff, son of a poor Cossack who reared a large family on a pit- tance received as village clerk. The son not only over- came the boulders in his pathway, but surmounted veritable mountains, until today he shares with Brusi- loff the affection of the soldiers and the confidence of the people. Gen. Brusiloff recently succeeded as commander in chief of the Russian armies Gen. Micuael V. Alexieff, who was the successor of the Grand Duke Nich- olas. He attempted to resign when it looked as if the army was aligned with those who favored a separate peace following the recent revolution, but the civil leaders would have none of it and he returned to the front. He became one of Russia’s idols for his great of- fensive last year in Volhynia and Galicia, in which thousands of Austrians were captur: ' After the Russian people and the soldie s had for weeks teetered between a separate peace and a continuation of the war, and finally hac resist- ed the blandishments of the German propagand- ists and heeded the importunities of their own leaders, it was Gen. Korniloff who was chosen to lead the army in its first smash against the yermans. Under. his command it drove the enemy back in Galicia, captured Halicz, and in only two or three days the men had set ther eyes toward Lemberg, captured months before by the Teutons. Korniloff, too, attempted to resign in the troublous early days of the revo- lution. Gen. Brusiloff, like a great many other sol- diers who have risen to supreme command, is @ cavalryman. His short, compact and aston- ishingly light figure and his general air and quickness of address have caused several writ- ers to compare him with the late Lord Roberts. Although he is 63 years old, in appearance he is a man of 50 who has lived the greater part of his life in the open. ; At the outbreak of the Turkish War, Brusi-= lotf was in the Corps de Pages, which he left for active service. By virtue of his origin he had the privilege of serving in Russia’s crack regiment, the Guard, but the young soldier elected to enlist in a Caucasian cavalry regi- ment, with which he served throughout the campaign. Then for two years he tock a course at a famous school of cavalry, where he became a protege of the noted French riding master, Philles, who had entered the Russian service. At about this period the young cavalrymau came under the notice of Grand Duke Nicho‘as, who picked him out for rapid promotion. Came the Manchurian war, and Brusiloff asked leave to go, but the War Office kept him at his post, which was head master of the same riding school at which he had been such a brilliant pupil. Brusiloff was endowed by nature with a facuity of study and reflection and always has been an incessant reader. His huge library is composed mainly of booxs on history and strategy. He also traveled abroad, visit- ine old battlefields, where he studied the campaigns of the world’s foremost soldiers, acquiring in this way a mass of technical knowledge which became of im- mense value in 1914 and after. Even after the outbreak of the present war, and after he had been in command of the Eighth army, he did a great deal of reading, but after he had been placed in supreme command of the southern armies he was forced by sheer pressure of work to abandon all intellectual pursuits save that of dire x- ing the operations of his forces. Men who have talked with Gen. Brusiloff have been impressed with his fine and delicate courtesy and he has been described as in every sense of the word a “gentleman.” It is related of him that although he can content himself with a Spartan diet when necessary, .2 prefers a table provided with some care. With every meal he takes a glass of red wine and one of white-- never more nor less—and smokes many Russian cigar- ettes. It pleases him at meal time to invite to the table a few of his higher officers, but at these repasts “talkinz shop” is strictly forbidden and only soldierly camaradert> is allowed to prevail. He delights in a joke and inspires his comrades to return in kind. On one occasion a fly was floating in his soup. The General sent for the cook, who arrived in a great state of consternation. “Another time,” Brusiloff commanded, “see to it that flies don’t fall- in the soup: Never forget that great truth that flies should be served in a separate dish.”’ When necessity arises Brusiloff can be the martinet, and a severe one, but it is said of hiz: that he is stricter with himself than with anyone else. For 18 months he never left the army and never saw his family for a day. At last his wife came to visit him and after two weeks passed Brusiloff told her that it was time for her tv return to Moscow. But those around him, who had been charmed by the society of Mme. Brusiloff, hinted that it would be well if she could remain a day or two lonrer. “Not another day, not in any case,’ the General re- plied. “When once there is an order that wives can visit their husbands for a fortnight, this rule must be binding for all. And as it is binding for ensigns and PAGE FOUR Gen. Brusiloff, favorite of the Grand Duke Nicholes, found the way to promotion easy, but he has demonstrated his fit- ness for the place he now holds, commander in chief of the Russian armies—Gen. Korniloff, son of a poor Cos- sack, has reached almost as high an eminence, by dint of tremendous exertions second lieutenants, then I, as commander of the armies, must show an example to the younger officers.” Mme. Brusiloff departed that same day for Moscow. Another instance is afforded of Brusiloff’s rigor in personal domestic relationships. A wagon arrived with presents and it was suggested that Mme. Brusiloff dis- tribute them to the men in the trenches. Brusiloff con- sented, but someone committed the faux pas of remind. ing him that if the distribution took place under artillery fire the corps commander would reward her excellency with a medal. “My wife will not go into the trenches,” Brusiloff declared immediately. “It must not be said that Brusi- loff gave a medal to a close relation.” Gen. Brusiloff's chief delight in peace times is riding to hounds. During the first phase of the P-issian cam- 0 4 yt APY ~ . g* ‘’ , / iH Oe HF \) \ \ | Aiwa & GEN. ALEXIS A... BRUSILOFF. paign he frequently galloped helter-s!.elter across plain and meadow in a straight line, dragging his aids after him. Recently he has become a pedestrian; but his vigor is undiminished. Every afternoon at 4 o’clock, when the exigencies of the campaign permit, he drives in his automobile to a forest about nine miles from his headquarters. There he leaves the machine and for two hours trudges along at top speed without turning his head. It is a terrific hardship on his officers, especially one who is fat and short of breath, and whose struggles the General takes a mischievous delight in watching. On these excursions the General always is accompanied by his favorite companion, a little French bull terrier. The dog never leaves him, and often has the signal honor of being the only being admitted to his master’s study when the General is poring over a staff map. So dry and nervous is the agile organism of Gen. Lrusiloff that he never perspires. And no matter what form of motion he chooses he always is obsessed by a desire for more speed. “Quicker! Quicker!” he com- mands his chauffeur, and that person always obeys, regardless of sharp turns and steep declivities. After just such an order in Galicia in November, 1914, the LIEUT.-GEN. L. G. KORNILOFF. car, containing the General and his chief of staff, plunged into a ravine and turned over. The rescuers found the General calmly seated under the overturned car still munching a piece of cake he had been eating. Brusiloff, like Joffre, was one of the first men to grasp the great*‘truth in the present war that fighting con- ditions had changed. “Technique, technique and still tech- nique!” he said to a correspondent. “Forty years have passed since the Russo-Turkish war and what a revaluation of values! Of the former tradt- tions not one stone remains on another. Take Skobeleff, for instance. Is it thinkable that an ostentatious, deco- rative general like that, galloping about at the front in a white uniform and on a white horse, should exist today? Possibly, but he would last only a quarter of an hour, for, if the Germans fired a few volleys nothing would be left of this dashing horseman. | “In those days this splendid bravado had its object and meaning—it was an inspiration for the troops. But now, when everything has disappeared from the sur- face and been buried in the ground, Skobeleff could be seen by at the most two companies. That is not enough to justify the exposure of the life of the commander of an army to such danger. At the same time I am far fr thinking that the commander of an army hate merely sit at his headquarters or drive around visiting the staffs or corps or divisions. On the contrary, a commander must be visible at the front and under fire, so that officers and sol- diers may him and ‘feel’ his presence and so that may witness the actual circum- stances of the battle. Only by these means can there be a living bond between a commander and the army.” Of personal fear Brusiloff has none. Often it has been said to him: “Your excellency, in the town there are many stone houses, and it is safer. Every day air pirates fly about and throw bombs, and you remain in that frail carriage.” “Do not imagine,’ Brusiloff answers, “that, for the sake of personal security, < would lose - that splendid ‘octact’ which I now have with the troops.” Officers who have served under Gen. Brusi- loff refer to him as “a great chief.” He is kindly and sympathetic toward them, liberally helps men burdened with large families out of his own pocketbook, possesses the art of ad- dressing troops, and is quick to recognize the efforts of officers of lower grades. Over his higher officers he exercises a sort of dictator- ship and any contradiction frets and irritates him. But he is quick to recover and recognize the value of disinterested advice. One of Brusiloff’s corps commanders, after a complicated and difficult maneuver, bitterly contested by the enemy, felt that his prestige had suffered in the judgment of his superior. He wanted to explain things and sought to discover whether he still had the confidence of his chief. | “As you are stil) at the head of your corps,” Brusiloff told him, dryly, “there is no need for any answer. Had you ceased to have my confi- dence, you would have gone by now.” Gen. Korniloff is in many respects the proto- type of Brusiloff, but his rise was much the more romantic. He is a younger man by nearly two score years. Early in life he began rough forest work and did not begin to receive in- struction until he was nine. When barely 13 he had qu:.lified by his own exertions and by all-night studies to enter the Siberian cadet corps, largely composed of sons of local magnates. Again by his own efforts he gained free training at the Michailovsk Artillery Schoo], where he displayed amazing mathematical faculties. By dint of his exertions, Korniloff became an’ officer in the Guards, entrance to which Brusiloff wa: “entitled by reason of his birth. But being penniless he was obliged to serve in Turkestan. In the Japanese war he received the rank of colonel, and here h2 first had the opportunity of displaying his talents. He was intrusted with the desperate mission of covering the retreat fro.n Mukden of one of Gen. Kuropatkin’s shattered armies. He executed it so well that he was awarded the Cross of St. George. Later he traveled through Turkestan, the Caucasus and Europe, stucying, obse: ving and writiagz valuable books on Turkestan and Central Asia. Korniloff repeated, in Galicia, in 1915, his feat at Mukden, in covering a retreat under a month-long hail of Austrian and German shells. His o-n force broke through the encircling force, but he himself was wound- ed and taken prisoner by the Austrians. So impressed were the Austrian generals with Korniloff’s accomplish- ments and bearing that they honored him by returning his sword. After a daring flight from an Austrian prison and astonishing adventures he reached Russia. In addition to his knowledge of mathematics, Gen. Korniloff has an amazing gift of languages. He speaks not only all European tongues, but converses readily iu Persian, Chinese and every dialect of Central Asia. The appointment of Brusiloff is a victory for law, or- der and the completion of the war by victory over the Central Powers as far as Russia’s part in that victory is concerned. Brusiloff is not only the Russian soldiefs’ idol, he is an idol of the Russian masses. His face has been steel-set against Germany for many years, he never has had anything but anger and contempt for the pro- German intriguers at Petrograd, never anything but im- patience with the belief—whether held by the revolu- tionary leaders or their predecessors in government— that there was any other way to the triumph of Russian freedom than that over the dead bodies of the enemy, A year ago he said: “My one desire is to do for Russia all that lies in my power. It does not matter so much: where the fighting line extends—have we not two con- tinents behind us!—because the outcome of the war will be settled, not by the occupation of territory, but by the destruction of the enemies’ armies and resources.” ‘yy SUNDAY MAGAZINE- -ST.

LAURENT VICHON. N the early days of March a German submarine sent a panic into the fishing fleets all the way up from the Ile de Yeu to Corduan. The people of the villages along the coast and on the islands were terrorized. The commander of the U-boat had the cynical effrontery to force his wretched victims to obtain for him white wine, that light and unpretentious white wine of Charentes, which he drank with gusto.

The fishermen dreaded this pirate, and, through fear of adding an avoidable danger to those they faced every day in their vocation, hesitated to leave harbor, unless protected by a patrol; or in default of this, by one of their own boats armed with a gun. Thus it was that on March 16 the yawl-rigged Hy- acinthe-Yvonne, owned by Hyacinthe Cuisiat, with a small gun in her bows, sailed out from Les Sables about 6 p. m. with several other Sables fishing smacks, all bound for the fishing banks. Cuisiat’s boat was to act as guardian over the others. This dangerous task did not worry Capt. Cuisiat, for he was already a veteran of the war. At the beginning, in a regiment of Colonials, he had fought in the Argonne and had been through the terrific battle of the Eparges. His gunner, Laurent Vichon, had been*a sailor on the Charlemagne and had done his share of gunfiring in the Dardanelles until the fa- mous battle of Chanak, the lashed tiller to keep the boat lying to. If a squall, filling her jib, drives the bow off the wind, or, filling the jigger sail, drives it over into the wind, the slight play of the preventer tackle is sufficient to prevent the boat from luffing. Having thus automatically assured the steadiness of the boat, Cuisiat jumped to the bow. While his crew went for ammunition he helped the gunner to get the gun cleared. He opened fire at the very moment that a sec- ond shell from the submarine struck on the port bow, Close to the cut-water, starting a bad leak. The U-boat’s engines stopped, but it. continued its course, firing ever at the Hyacinthe-Yvonne. Its ¢ om- mander was trying to get astern, so as to avoid the shois ~ from the bow, the gun not being able to fire astern be- cause of the rigging. Three men on the submarine, armed with re*oivers, fired without ceasing at the fishing smack, but almost all of their shots landed harmlessly in a spare mainsa‘) boom lashed upon the deck. Cuisiat understood the maneuver of his enemy. He re- took the tiller, brought the boat about and thus cleared the field of action for the gun, which Vichon aimed to port against the U-boat now heading northwest. Strange, but the men vanished from the enemy’s deck, all hatchways closed. It is ready to submerge: yet it remains motionless at 300 yards. This distance is veri- fied by the elevation of the fisherman’s gun, all the shots The “unparalleled battle,” as 7 HYACINTHE CUISIAT. _ from which score hits, five of them, striking the ower parts of the submarine’s conning tower. Suddenly the U-boat plunges head foremost; -vout 25 feet of its stern rises from the water and remains in an almost vertical position for four or five minutes. “It’s our treat this time!” cries Vichon. Without haste the brave gunner takes aim and sends another shot home. The U-boat gives under the leaden raillery of the yawl, the crew of which has not yet no- ticed that their own craft is about to disappear, its hold being full of rapidly deepening water. They are having such a good time! “Just another, you old brigand. Gulp that one down.” “To your jolly good health, pirate!” ' “Steady, Vichon, don’t miss!” “Good! Epaulettes for you, my boy, and gold ones at that. You have well won them!”’ “There will never be enough pipes fur you at Des Sables fair!” They laughed till their sides were sore, and it was not until the U-boat went down perpendicularly, less than 100 yards away, that they began seriously to think of saving themselves, not caring to accompany the enemy to Davy Jones’ locker, as old-time salts would say. They saw at once that they could not keep out the water, all the mattresses they sent down passing through the hole in the side; so they got ready to leave the boat. Hastily the sides of the skiff, broken by the gunfire, were nailed up. The flag was hoisted upside down to attract the attention of the where he narrowly escaped drowning with all his com- rades. The other members of the crew, Auguste Move- ron, Georges Butaud, Georges Petoit and Jean Philbert, had all been under fire in Flanders and in other hot places along the front. Just before dawn on March 18, the distant sound of cannon-firing was heard. Somebody said: “There is the German going after his white wine.” Everybody got ready for immediate action. At six bells the yawl was about 10 miles from the Rochebonne Bank, west a quarter north from the Pone des Baleins (Ile de Re), heading north- east and, having close by her the fishing boats Pierre Emile and Petite-Desiree. The Rochebonne Bank, 37 miles west of the Ile de Re and 31 miles south of the Ile de Yeu, rises almost to the surface in the sea 30 fath- oms deep, and is one of the most dangerous spots on the west coast of France. The sea is often high and angry over the bank and along its edges. But that day, al- though so near the equinox, it was quite calm. At seven bells the U-boat for which they were watch- ing suddenly emerged 5600 yards ahead of the Hya- cinthe - Yvonne, headed soutirwest directly toward the little fishing craft. The submarine had scarcely ris- en from the water when a hatchway opened, two men appeared upon the deck, aimed a three-inch gun at the yawl and fired. The shot was good, but a bit short, and it struck the bow. Capt. Cuisiat was at the helm. He instantly brought her up to the wind and lashed the tiller so as to leave himself free to go to help Vichon with the gun, TT ee nes ee nee nearby fishing boats. They got into the little skiff, which was making water like a basket, and bailed it with casseroles, singing the while—for all were so hap- py at having defeated an enemy vastly superior in strength. About a quarter after eight bells the Hyacinthe- Yvonne gently sank. Salut- ed by sailors, sadly, it is true—for a boat is a sort of sweetheart. But they were quite satisfied with the feat they had accomplished. And they sang again 4s they rowed across the 300 yards of floating oil that marked the spot where the submarine had gone to the bottom. A few minutes later the Pierre-Emile took the brave feilows on board. Thus did the crew of the little yawl Hvacinthe-Yvon- ne hold up the traditions of the intrepid Breton fisher- ermen. Thus did six hum- ble sallors on a smal! sail- boat give battle to the most perfect of war machines, the most dreaded instru- ment of modern “fearful- ness,” rushing undaunted finto the fusillade of artil- lery and replying calmly and accurately with their one small gun. Thus did they, like knights of the days of chivalry, fight and slay the dreaded sea mon- ster that had been devour- ing the hard-working toil- ers of the ocean and spread- ing desolation and panic in many a humble village. Thus did they earn the ——~ _ —s ——_ which was masked from view as much as possible under a sail and some nets.

TEACHING CAMOUFLAGE, THE REAL “AR wt OF WAR, TO AMERICA’S SOLDIERS 2: See. ’ To the German observers this perspective looked just as it had the night before. In reality ' ainted screen behind which heavy guns rawn from a photograph. they were —- at a cleverly were being placed. lt is the painting of cannon, depots, hangars, piles of ammunition, and other war materials to blend with the surrounding land- scape and be invisible to aviators — Even a countryside has been transformed so that troops could move behind a screen unknown to the Germans — American painters already have formed an organization to volunteer for service 3s :: CAMOUFLAGE—Humbugging disguise; its main principle is the destruction of outline by paint or other artifice. See Camoufle; CAamoufleur. UCH is the made-to-order definition of one of the newest words in our lan- guage, put there by the necessities: of war. It will not be found in any dic- tionary as yet, but it will soon be there in its proper place, precise and up-to- date. The adaptive and imaginative Frenchman coined it; the Britishers were slow to take up this new art of concealing themselves and their equipment from the common enemy. In fact, so’much so that their chief protagonist, H. G. Wells, goes after his compatriots in this fashion: “The principle of breaking the outline does not seem to be fully grasped upon the British front. Much of the painting of guns and tents that one sees is a feeble and useless dabbing or striping; some of the tents I saw were done in concentric bands of radiating stripes that would on the whole increase their visibility from above. In one place Il haw a hangar painted a good gray-green, but surrounded and outlined by white tents. * * * My impression—and it may be quite an unjust one—was that some of our British Colonels mis- ‘understand and dislike camouflage.” Be that as it may, America is for this now high- ly developed trick-of-war, brush, tube, palette and all. Two hundred of the foremost artists of New York and other cities have already responded to the call, and when our cannon roll out towards the front they will look like the grassy ground, from above; and our hangars and our camps and our depots for munitions and supplies will be peaceful bits of meadowland or for- est, as viewed from the German aeros, circling the blue; a tarpaulin covering a pile of big shells ly- ing in a roadway will have the dust of the road and the green of its edges repro- duced upon it-—our army is for the cam- ouflage, first, last and all the time! Sherry E. Fry and Barry Faulkner, two New York artists who were the recipi- ents of the Am¢rican prize to Rome, were fr the prime movers in the American cam- ouflage. They .enlist- ed the aid of several others—Walter Hale, Edwin Blashfield, J. Alden Weir and men of similar distinc- the foliage.

The American Academy of Design went in, and the Archi- tectural League, followed by the Society of Illustrators and the Society of Scene Paint- ers. Mr. Blashfield was made chairman and Mr. Fry secretary. Then Washington was notified, and an appreciative letter returned from the pffice of the Chief of Staff, A battalion of four companies of the cam- ouflage is tentatively proposed for each field army of from four to six divisions. Each company will consist of a Captain of camou- flage, with three or four Lieutenants, eight or 10 Sergeants, 15 to 20 Corporals and the remainder privates. Its members will be put on a strictly military basis as to pay aud allowances. A committee of the War College : “Marshal of Camouflage” of the French army, now in America to instruct our military artists. The Camouflage Battery (From “Italy, France and Britain at War.’) ' BY H. G. WELLS. HE battery was the most unobtrusive of batteries. Its one desire seemed to to be to appear a simple piece of wood- land in the eye of God and the air- plane. I went about the network of railways and paths under the trees that a modern bat- tery requires, and came presently upon a great gun that even at the first glance seemed a ftle less carefully hidden than its fellows. Then I saw that it was a most ingenious dum- my, made of a tree and logs and so forth. It was in the emplacement of a real gun that had been located; it had its painted sandbags about it just the same, and it felt itself so en- tirely-a part of the battery that whenever its companions fired, it burnt a flash and kicked up a dust. It was an excellent example of the great art of camouflage which this war has developed. = — = Division is now studying camouflage with a view to making definite recommendations to the Secre- tary of War. In the meantime the New York vol- unteer artists have been asked to submit technical details as to material and functions. Abbott Thayer of Dublin, N. H., was the first person ever to take up the art of concealment when he began the study of the protective coloring of animals 25 years ago. He noted that such beasts as the zebra and okapi were parts of the landscape at a few yards distance and he evolved the principle that the breaking of outline was the destruction of visibility. ) Little was thought of camouflage at the Onset of the present big conflict. There were white kid gloves—fatal targets for German snipers—and wav- ing plumes; the burnished cuirass and the pennoned lance. Then the two contending lines-dug them- selves in and locked horns. Concealment became everythinig—concealment from the aero with the telescopic eye; from the artillery observation sta- tion, binocular-eyed; from the practiced glance of the sharpshooter and the keen vision of the patrols. French artists in the ranks busied themselves: a new branch of the art military was born—camou- flage. 3 Today it is highly developed. There are “two branches, invisibility and imitation. A supply train may look like a row of cottages; that is imitation. A screen tops a great gun so that the green Of the screen blends with the grass of the meadow: that is invisibility. And there is a third offshoot—the art of making compelling replicas of camps, guns, piles of supplies, trenches, ammunition depots and the like, which are not bonafide at all, but the aero man thinks they are and wastes his bombs and en- ergy at attacking nothing worth while.

—_—«—“_—~eere™ Chapter Four The Story of EK mma McChesney BY EDNA- FERBER od Come i) ~ the Kitchen Into OMEONE—probably one of those Frenchmen whose life job it was to make epigrams—once said that there are but two kinds of women— good women and bad women. Ever since then problem playwrights have been putting that fiction into the mouths of wronged husbands and building their “big scene” around it. But don’t you believe it. There are four kinds—good women, bad women, good bad women and bad good women. And the worst of these is the last. This should be a story of all four kinds, and when it is finished I defy you to discover which is which. When the red stuff in the thermometer waxes ambi- tious, so that fat men stand, bulging-eyed, before it and beginning with the 90 mark count up with a horrible satisfaction — ninety-one—ninety-two—ninety-three — NINETY-FOUR! by gosh! and the cinders are filtering into your berth, and even the porter is wandering rest- lessly up and down the aisle like a black soul in purga- tory and a white duck coat, then the thing to do is to don those mercifully few garments which the laxity of sleeping-car etiquette permits, slip out between the green curtains and fare forth in search of drafts, liquid and atmospheric. At midnight Emma McChesney, in- ured as she was to sleepers and all their horrors, found her lower eight unbearable. With the bravery of des- peration she groped about for her cinder-strewn belongings, donned slippers and kimono, waited until the tortured porter’s footsteps had squeaked their way to the far end of the car, then sped up the dim aisle toward -the back platform. She wrenched open the door, felt the rush of air, drew in a long, grateful, smoke-steam-dust laden lungful of it, felt the breath of it on spine and thest, sneezed, realized that she would be the victim of a summer cold next day, and, knowing, cared not. “Great, ain’t it?” said a voice in the darkness. (Nay, reader. A wom- an’s voice.) Emma McChesney was of the non- screaming type. But something in- side of her suspended action for the fraction of a second. She peered into the darkness. : “"J’ get scared?” inquired the voice. Its owner lurched forward from the corner in which she had _ been crouching, into the half-light cast by the vestibule night globe. Even as men judge one another by a Masonic emblem, an Elk pin or the band of a cigar, so do women in sleeping cars weigh each other ac- - cording to the rules of the Ancient Order of the Kimono. Seven seconds after Emma McChesney first beheld the negligee that stood revealed in the dim light she had its wearer neat- ly weighed, marked, listed, docketed and placed. It was the kind of kimono that is associated with straw-colored hair and French-heeled shoes and over-fed dogs at the end of a leash. The Jap- anese are wrongly accused of having perpetrated it. In pattern it showed bright green flowers-that-never-were sprawling on a purple background. A diamond bar fastened it not too near the throat. It was one of Emma McChesney’s boasts that she was the only living woman who could get off a sleeper at Bay City, Mich, at 5 a. m. without looking like a Swedish immigrant just dumped at Ellis Island. Traveling had become a science with her, as witness her serviceable dark-blue silk kimono and her hair in a schoolgirl braid down her back. The blonde woman cast upon Emma McChesney an admiring eye. “Gawd, ain't it hot!” she said, sociably. “I wonder,” mused Emma McChesney, “if that porter could be hynotized into making some lemonade—a pitch- erful, with a lot of ice in it and the cold sweat breaking out all over the glass?” “Lemonade!” echoed the other, wonder and amuse-. ment in her tone. ‘Are they still usin’ it?” She leaned against the door, swaying with the motion of the car, and hugging her plump, bare arms. ‘Travelin’ alone?’’ she asked. “Oh, yes,” replied Emma McChesney, and decided it was time to go in. “Lonesome, ain't it, without company? Goin’ far?” “I’m accustomed to it. I travel on business, not pleas- ure. I'm on the road, representing T. A. Buck’s Feather- bloom Petticoats!” The once handsome violet eyes of the plump blonde widened with surprise. Then they narrowed to critical slits. : “On the road! Sellin’ goods! And I thought you was only a kid. It’s the way your hair’s fixed, I suppose. Say, that must be a hard life for a woman—buttin’ into a man’s game like that.” “Oh, I suppose any work that takes a woman out into the world,” began Emma McChesney vaguely, her hand on the doorknob. In surprise.Emma McChesney turned at the door for another look at the hair, figure, complexion and ki- mono. “Oh, yqu’re an actress! Well, if you think mine is a hard life for a woman, why”—— “Me!” said the green-gold blonde, and laughed not prettily. “I ain’t a woman. I’m a queen of burlesque.” “Burlesque? You mean one of those’——Emma Mc- Chesney stopped, her usually deft tongue floundering. “One of those ‘men only’ troupes? You guessed it. I'm Blanche LeHaye of the Sam Levin Crackerjack Belles. We get into North Bend at 6 tomorrow morning, and we play there tomorrow night, Sunday.” She took a step forward so that her haggard face and artificially tinted heir were very near Emma McChesney. “Know what I was thinkin’ just one second before you come out here?” “No; what?’ “Tl was thinkin’ what a cinch it would be to just push aside that canvas thing there by the steps and try what the newspaper accounts call ‘jumping into the night.’ Say, if I'd on my other lawnijerie I'll bet I’d have done it.” IntO Emma McChesney’s un- derstanding heart there swept a wave of pity. But she answered lightly: “Is that supposed to be funny?’ The plump blonde yawned. “It depends on your funny bone. Mine’s got blunted. I’m the lady that the Irish comedy guy slaps in the face with a bunch of let- tuce. Say, there’s something “Now, Lillian Russell and cold cream is one; and new potatoes and brown crocks is another’’—— about you that makes a person get gabby and tell You’d make a swell clairvoyant.” Beneath the comedy of the bleached hair and the flac- cid face and the bizarre wrapper; behind the coarseness and vulgarity and ignorance, Emma MecChesney’s keen mental eye saw something decent and clean and beau- tiful. And something pitiable and something tragic. “T guess you'd better come in and get some sleep,” said Emma McUnesney; and somehow found her hand rest- ing on the woman’s shoulder. So they stgod, on the sway- ing, jolting platform. Blanche LeHaye of the Sam Levin Crackerjack Belles, looked down, askance, at the hand on her shoulder, as at some strange and interesting ob- ject. “Ten years ago,” she said, “that would have started me telling the story of my life, with all the tremulo stops on, and the orchestra in tears. Now it only makes me mad.” Emma McChesney’s hand seemed to snatch itself away from the woman’s shoulder. “You can’t treat me with your life’s history. going in.” “Wait a minute. Don’t go away sore, kid. On the square, I guess I like the feel of your hand on my arm, like that. Say, I’ve done the same‘thing myself to a strange dog that looked up at me, pitiful. You know, the way you reach down and pat ’m on the head and say, ‘Nice doggie, nice doggie, old.fellow,’ even if it is a street cur, with a chawed ear and no tail. They growl and show their teeth, but they like it. A woman—Lordy, there comes the brakeman. Let’s beat it. Ain't we the nervy old hens!” The female of the species as she is found in sleeping car dressing rooms had taught Emma McChesney to risé things. “Sure,” agreed the other. “I ought to know. The hotels betimes that she might avoid contact with certain frowsy, and timetables alone are enough to kill. Who do you suppose makes up train schedules? They don’t seem to think no respectable train ought to leave anywhere be- fore 11:50 p. m. or arrive after 6 a.m.. We played Ot- tumwa, lIo., last night, and here we are jumpin’ to IIli- nois.”’ PAGE EIGHT shapeless beings armed with bottles of milky liquids and boxes of rosy pastes and pencils that made arched and inky lines; being redolent of bitter almond and vio- let toilet water: being in doubtful corsets and green silk petticoats perfect as to accordion-plaited flounce, but showing slits and tatters farther up; beings jealously we pa hers ae guarding their 10 inches of mirror space and consenting to move for no one; ladies who had come all the way from Texas and who insisted on telling about it, despite a mouthful of hairpins; doubtful sisters who called one dearies and required to be hooked up; distracted moth- ers with three small children who wiped their hands on your shirtwaist. So it was that Emma McChesney, hatted and veiled by 5:45, saw the curtains of the berth opposite rent asunder to disclose the rumpled, shapeless figure of Miss Blanche LeHaye. The queen of burlesque bore in her arms a conglomerate mass of shoes, corset, purple skirt, bag and green-plumed hat. She paused to stare at Emma McChesney’s trim, cool preparedness. “You must have started to dress as soon’s you came in last night. I never slep’ a wink till just about half a hour ago. I bet I ain’t got more than 11 minutes to dress in. Ain’t this a scorcher!” When the train stopped at North Bend, Emma Mc- Chesney, on her way out, collided with a vision in a pongee duster, rose-colored chiffon veil, chamois gloves and plumed hat. Miss Blanche LeHaye bad made the most of her 11 minutes. Her baggage attended to, Emma McChesney climbed into a hotel "bus. It bore no other passengers. From her corner in the vehicle she could see the queen of burlesque standing in the center of the depot platform, surrounded by her company. It was a tawdry, miserable, almost tragic group, the men under- sized, bediamoned, their skulls oddly «shaped, their clothes a satire for the fashions for men, their chins un- shaven, their loose lips curved contentedly over ciza- rettes; the women dreadfully unreal with the pitiless light of the early morning sun glaring down on their bedizened faces, their spotted, garish clothes, their run- down heels, their vivid veils, their matted hair. They were quarreling among themselves, and a flame of hate for the moment lighted up those dull, stupid, vicious faces. Blance Le- Haye appeared to be the center about which the strife waged, for suddenly she flung through the shrill group and walked swiftly over to the ’bus and climbed into it heavily. One of the women turned, her face livid beneath the paint, to scream a great oath aft- er her. The ’bus driver climbed into his seat and took up the reins- After a moment’s indecision the little group on the platform turned and trailed off down the street, the women sag- ging under the weight of their bags, the men, for the most part, hurrying on ahead. When the ‘bus lurched past them the woman who had screamed the oath after Blanche Le- Haye laughed shrilly and made a face like a naughty child, whereupon the others laughed in a falsetto chorus. A touch of real color showed in Blance LeHaye’s flabby cheek. “I'll show'’m,”’ she snarled. “I'll show’m I ain’t no dead one yet. That hussy of a Zella Dacre thinkin’ she can get my part away from me when I ain't - lookin’. I wised sbe was gettin’ too sweet to me the last week or so, the lyin’ sneak. I'll show’m a leadin’ lady’s a leadin’ lady. Let ’em go to their hash hotels. I’m goin’ to the real inn in this town, just to let 'em know that I got my dignity to keep up, and that I don’t have to mix in with scum like that. You see that there?” She pointed at something in the street. Emma McChesney turned to look. The cheap lithographs of the Sam Levin Crackerjack Belles company sjared at one from the billboards. “That’s our paper,” explained Bla + LeHaye. “That's me, in the center of the bunch, wéth the\pink reins in my hands, drivin’ that four-in-hand of Johnnies. Hot stuff! Just let Dacre try te get it away from me, that’s all. Pll show’m.” She sank back into her corner. Her anger left her with the suddenness characteristic of her type. “Ain’t this heat fierce?’’ she fretted and closed her eyes. Now, Emma McChesney was a broad-minded woman. The scars that she had received in her 10 years’ battle with business reminded her to be tender at sight of the wounds of others. But now, as she studied the woman huddled there in the corner, she was conscious of a shud- dering disgust of her—of the soiled blouse, of the cheap finery, of the sunken places around the jawbone, of the swollen places benéath the eyes, of the thin, carmined lips, of the-——— ; Blanche LeHaye opened her eyes suddenly and caught the look on Emma McChesney’s face. Caught it, and com- prehended it. Her eyes narrowed and she laughed shortly. “Oh, I dunno,” drawled Blanche Le Haye. “I wouldn’t go's far’s that, kid. Say, when I was your age I didn’t plan to be no bum burlesquer neither. I was going to be an actress, with a farm on Long Island, like the rest of ‘em. Every real actress has got a farm on Long Island, if it's only there in the mind of the press agent. It's a kind of religion with ‘em. I was goin’ to build a house on mine that was goin’ to be a cross between a California bungalow and the Horticultural Building at the World’s Fair. Say, I ain't the worst, kid. There's others outside of my smear, understand, that I wouldn't change places with.” & A dozen apologies surged to Emma McChesney’s lips just as the driver drew up at the curbing outside the ho- tel and jumped down to open the door. She feund her- self hoping that the hotel clerk would not class her with her companion. At 11 o’clock that morning Emma McChesney unlocked (Continued on Page 11.) SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST.

S20. neo? a Wa Aly SERDANIE ———a er - —~ ‘,r - “Bli’me, said one Cockney Tommy, “there goes one o’ th’ Canadians with an escort from the Kaiser.” An American Boy at the Front ws miS HIS is the fifth article in the narrative of sSer- geant Alexander McClintock, a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute, who served sever- al months at the front with a Canadian over- seas force. The first four articles dealt with the train- ing in Canada and abroad, a trench raid in the Ypres salient and the shift to the Somme. By SERGT. ALEXANDER McCLINTOCK, D. C. M. 87th Overseas Battalion, Canadian Grenadier Guards UR high command apparently meant to make a sure thing of the general assault upon the Regina trench, in which we were to participate. Three times the order to ‘go over the top’’ was countermanded. The assault was first planned for Oct. 19. Then the date was changed to Oct. 20. Finally, at 12:19 noon of Oct. 21 we went. It was the first general assault we had taken part in and we were in a highly nervous state. I'll admit that. It seemed almost certain death to start over in broad daylight, yet, as it turned out, the crossing of No Man’s Land was accomplished rather more easily than in our night raids. Our battalion was on the extreme right of the line, and that added materially to our difficulties, first, by compelling us to advance through mud so deep that some of our men sank to their Knees in it, and, second, by giving us the hottest little spot in France to hold later. I was in charge of the second “wave,” or assault line. This is called the ‘“‘mop- ping up” wave, because the business of the men composing it is thoroughly to bomb out a position crossed by the first wave, to capture or kill all of the enemy remaining and to put the trench in a con- dition to be defended against a counter attack by reversing the fire steps and throwing up parapets. Our artillery had given the Germans such a battering and the curtain fire which our guns dropped just 30 to 40 yards ahead of us was so powerful that we lost comparatively few men going over —only those who were knocked down by shells which the Germans landed among us through our barrage. They never caught us with their machine-gun sweep- ing until we neared their trenches. ‘Then a good many of our men began to drop, but we were in their front trench before they could cut us up anywhere near com- pletely. Going over I was struck by shell fragments on the hand and leg, but the wounds were not severe enough to stop me. In fact, I did not know that I had been wounded until I felt blood running into my shoe. Then I[ discovered the cut in my leg, but saw that it was quite shal- low and that no artery of importance had been damaged. So I went on. I had the familiar feeling of nervous- ness and physical shrinking and nausea at the beginning of this fight, but, by the time we were half way across No Man’s Land I had my nerve back. After I had been hit, I remember feeling relieved that I hadn’t been hurt enough to keep me from going on with the men. I’m not trying to make myself out a hero. I’m just trying to tell you how an or- dinary man’s mind works under the stress of fighting and the danger of sudden death. There are some queer things in the psychology of battle. For instance, when we had got into the German trench and were holding it against the most vigorous counter attacks, the thought which was persistently uppermost in my mind was that I had lost the address of a girl in London along with some papers which I had thrown away just before we started over, and which I[ should certainly never be able to find again. The Regina trench had been taken and lost three times by the British. We took it that day and held it. We went into action with 1500 men of all ranks and came out with 600. The position, which was the ob- jective of our battalion, was opposite to and only 1200 yards distant from the town of Pys. During a good many months, for a good many miles ’round about that place, there wasn’t any such thing as “peace.” From our posi- tion we could see a church steeple in the town of Bau. paume until the Germans found that our gunners were using it as a “zero” mark and blew it down with ex- plosives. © I have said that, because we were on the extreme right of the line, we had the hottest little spot in France to hold for a while. You see, we had to institute a double SUNDAY MAGAZINE--ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH--JULY 22, 1917, OWN defensive, as we had the Germans on our front and on our flank, the whole length of the trench to the right of us being still held by the Germans. There we had to form a “block.”’ massing our bombers behind a barri- cade which was only 15 yards from the barricade behind which the Germans were fighting. Our flank and the German flank were in contact as fiery as that of two live wire ends. And, meanwhile, the Fritzes tried to rus4 us on our front with gine separate counter attacks. Only one of them got up close to us, and we went out and stopped that with the bayonet. Behind our block barri- cade there was the nearest approach to an actual fight- ing hell that I had seen. And yet a man who was in the midst of it from be- ginning to end, came out without a scratch. He was a tall chap named Hunter. For 24 hours, without inter- ruption, he threw German ‘‘egg-shell’”’ bombs from a posi- tion at the center of our barricade. He never stopped ex- cept to light a cigarette or yell for someone to bring him more bombs from Fritz’s captured storehouse. He pro- jected a regular curtain of fire of his own. I’ve no doubt the Germans reported he was a couple of platoons, work- ing in alternate reliefs. He was awarded the D. C. M, for his services in that fight, and, though as I said, he was unwounded, half the men around him were killed, and his nerves finished in such condition that he had to be sent back to England. One of the great tragedies of the war resulted from a bit of carelessness when, a couple of days later, the effort was made to extend our grip be- yond the spot which we took in that first fight. Plans bad “I reached him before Godsall and bayonetted him.” had been made for the Forty-fourth Battalion of the NARRATIVE uw fort was simply a wholesale suicide. Six hundred out of 800 men were on the ground in two and one-half min- utes. The battalion was simply wiped out. Several offi- cers were courtmartialed as a result of this terrible blunder. We had gone into the German trenches at a little after noon, on Saturday. On Sunday night at about 10 p. m. we were relieved. The relief force had to come in over- land, and they had a good many casualties en route. They found us as comfortable as bugs in a rug,except.for the infernal and continuous bombing at our flank barricade. The Germans had conluded that it was useless to try to drive us out. About one-fourth of the 600 of us who were still on their feet were holding the sentry posts and the remainder of the 600 were having banquets in the German dugouts, which were stocked up like delica- tessen shops with sausages, fine canned foods, cham- pagne and beer. I got so happily interested in the spread in our partic- ular dugout that I forgot about my wound until someone reminded me that orders required me to hunt up a dress- ing station and get an anti-tetanus injection. I went and got it, all right, but an injection was about the only additional thing I could have taken at that mo- ment. If I had had to swallow anything more, it would have been a matter of difficulty. Tommies like to take a German trench, because if the Fritzes have to move quickly, as they usually do, we always find sausage, beer and champagne—a welcome change from bully beef. I could never learn to like their bread, however. After this fight I was sent, with other slightly wounded men, for a week’s rest at the casualty station, at Contay. I rejoined my battalion at the end of the week. From Oct. 21 to Nov. 18 we were in and out of the front trenches several times for duty tours of 48 hours each, but were in no important action. At 6:10 a. m. on the morning of Nov. 18, a bitter, cold day, we “went over” to take Desire and also the Desire support trenches. We started from the left of our old position, and our advance was between Thiepbal and Poziers, opposite to Grandecourt. There was the usual artillery prepara- tion and careful organization for the at- tack. I was again in charge of the “‘mop- ping up” wave, numbering 200 men and consisting mostly of bombers. It may seem strange to you that a noncommis- sioned officer should have so important an assignment, but, sometimes, in this war, privates have been in charge of com- panies, numbering 50 men, and I know of a case where a Lance Corporal was temporarily in command of an entire bat- talion. It happened, on this day, that while I was in charge of the second wave, I did not go over with them. At the last moment I was given a special duty by Maj. John Lewis, formerly managing ed- itor of the Montreal Star, and one of the bravest soldiers I ever knew, as well as the best beloved man in our battalion. A messenger came to me from Maj. Lewis, just as I was overseeing a fair distribu- tion of the rum raticn and incidentally getting my own share. I went to him at once. “McClintock,” said he, “I don’t wish to send you to any special hazard, and, so far as that goes, Tenth Canadian Brigade to take by assault the trench ‘We're all going to get more or less of a dusting. But I section extending to the right from the point where we had established the ‘‘block’”’ on our flank. The hour for attack had been fixed. Then headquarters sent out a countermanding order. Something wasn't quite ready. The orders were sent by runners, as all confidential orders must be. Telephones are of no avail any more, as both our people aid the Germans have an apparatus which needs only to be attached to a metal spike in the ground to “pick up” every telephone message within a radius of three miles. When telephones are used for anything important, messages are sent in code. But, for any vitally important communication which might cost serious losses, if misunderstood, old style runners are used, just as they were in the days when the field tele- phone was unheard of. It is the rule to dispatch two or three runners by different routes, so that one, at least, will be certain to arrive. In the case of the counter- manding of the order for the Forty-fourth Battalion to assault the German position on our flank, some officer at headquarters thought that one messenger to the Lieu- tenant-Colonel commanding the Forty-fourth would be sufficient. The messenger was killed by a chance shot and his message was undelivered. The Forty-fourthb in ignorance of the change of plan, “went over.” There was no barrage fire to protect them and their valiant ef- / dt "ite eS Oe - mae t ‘ Sais cgi 3 f i< ¥? en Oe?

It was in a concrete emplacement, walled and roofed, and the devils in charge of it seemed to be descendants of William Tell and the prophet Isaiah. They always knew wat was coming and had their gun accurately trained on it before it came. “If you are willing,” said Maj. Lewis, “I wish you to select 25 fron? the company and go after that gun the minute the order comes to advance. Use your own judg- ment about the men and the plan for taking the gua position. Will you go?” “I sure will,” I answered. “I'll go and pick om the men right away. I think we can make those fellows shut up shop ‘over there.” “Good boy,” he said. “You'll try all right.” [ started away. He called me back. “This is going to be a bit hot, McClintock,” he said. taking my hand. “I wish you luck, old fellow—you and the rest of them.” In the trenches they always wish you the best of luck when they hand you a particularly tough job. I thanked him and wished him the same. I never saw (Continued on Page 10.)

That was all we knew or cared to know. We wanted to make it a certainty for our fellows who had gone ahead. As we were proceeding toward the German reserve trench I saw four of our men, apparently unwounded, lying in a shell hole. I stopped to ask them what they were doing there. As I spoke I held my German rifle and bayonet at the position of guard,” the tip of the bayonet advanced, about shoulder high. I didn’t get their answer, for, before they could reply, | felt a sen- sation ; : if someone had thrown a lump of hard clay and struck me on the hip, and forthwith I tumbled in on top of the four, almost plunging my bayonet into one of them, a private named Williams. “Well, now you know what’s the matter with us,” said Williams. ‘We didn’t fall in, but we crawled in.” They had all been slightly wounded. I had 22 pieces of shrapnel and some shell fragments imbedded in my left leg between the hip and the knee. I followed the usual custom of the soldier who has ‘got it.’’ The first thing I did was to light a “fage’”’ (cigarette) and the next thing was to investigate and determine if I was in danger of bleeding to death. There wasn’t much doubt about that. Arteroid blood was spurting from two of the wounds, which were revealed when the other men in the hole helped me to cut off my breeches. With their aid I man- aged to stop the hemorrhage by improvising tourniquets. Then we all smoked another ‘‘fag”’ and lay there, listen- ing to the big shells going over and the shrapnel! burst- ing near us. It was quite a concert, too. We discussed what we ought to do, and finally I said: ‘Here: you fellows can walk and I can’t. Furthermore, you're not able to carry me, because you've got about all any of you can do to navigate alone. It doesn’t iook as if its going to be any better here very soon. You all proceed to the rear, and, if you can get someone to come after me, I'll be obliged to you.” They couldn’t have traveled more than 50 yards from the shell hole when the shriek of a high-explosive seemed to cpme right down out of the sky into my ears, and the detonation which instantly followed shook the slanting oners came along under escort. They were being taken to the rear under fire. The artillery bombardment was still practically undiminished. I asked for four of the prisoners and made one of them get out his rubber ground sheet, carried around his waist. They responded willingly and seemed most ready to help me. I had a revolver (empty) and some bombs in my pockets, but I had no need to threaten them. Each of the four took a corner of the ground sheet, and, with me lying on it, they half carried and half dragged me toward the rear. It was a trip which was not without incident. Every now and then we would hear the shriek of an approach- ing “coal box” and then my prisoner stretcher bearers and | would tumble in one indiscriminate group into the nearest rhell hole. If we did that once we did it a half- dozen times. After each dive the four would patiently reorganize and arrange the improvised stretcher again, and we would proceed. Following every tumble, how- ever,@ would have to tighten my tourniquet. Despite all [ could do, the hemorrhage from my wound continued to flow so profusely that I was beginning to feel very dizzy and weak. On the way in I sighted our regimental dress- ing station and signed to my four bearers to carry me toward it. I couldn't talk German. The station was in an old German dugout. Maj. Gilday was at the door. He laughed when he saw me with my own special am- bulance detail. “Well, what do you want?” he asked. “Most of all,”’ I said, “I think I want a drink of rum.” He produced it for me instantly. “Now,” said he, “my advice to you is to keep on travel- ing. You've got a fine special detail there to look after you. Make’em carry you to Poziers. It’s only five miles, and you'll make it all right. I've got this place loaded up full, no stretcher bearers, no assistants, no adequate supply of bandages and medicines and a lot of very bad cases. If vou want to get out of here in a week, just keep right on going, now.” As we continued toward the rear we were the targets for a number of humorous remarks, from men coming up to go into the fight. “Give my regards to blighty, you lucky beggar,” was him again. He was killed in action within two hourg after our conversation. Both he and my pal, Macfar- lane, were shot.down dead that morning. When they called for volunteers to go with me in @is- charge of Maj. Lewis’ order, the entire company re- sponded. I picked out.25 men, 12 bayonet men and 13 bombers. They agreed to my plan, which was to get within 25 yards of the gun emplacement before attack- ing, to place no dependence on rifle fire, but to bomb them out and take the position with the bayonet. We followed that plan and took the emplacement quicker than we expected to, but there were only two of us left when we got there—Private Godsall, No. 177,063, and myself. All the rest of the 25 men were dead or down. The emplacement was held by 11 Germans. Two only were left standing when we got in. When we saw the gun had been silenced and the crew disabled Godsall and I worked round to the right about 10 yards from the shell hole where we had sheltered ourselves while throwing bombs into the emplacement, and scaled the German parapet. We rushed the gun po- sition. The officer who had been in charge was stand- ing with his back to us, firing with his revolver down the trench at our men who were coming over at another point. I reached him before Godsall and bayonetted him. The other German who had survived our bombing threw up his hands and mouthed the Teutonic slogan of sur- render, ‘‘Mercy, Kamerad.” My bayonet had become fast in the encounter with the German officer, and I remem- bered that I had been told always to pull the trigger aft- er making a bayonet thrust, as that would usually jar the weapon loose. It didn’t in this case, so I picked up @ German rifle with bayonet fixed, and Godsall and I worked on down the trench. The German, who had surrendered, stood with his hands held high above his head, waiting for us to tell him what to do. He never took his eyes off of us even to look at his officer, lying at his feet. As we moved down the trench, he followed us, still holding his hands up and repeating, “Mercy, Kamerad!’’ At the next trench angle we took five more prisoners, and as Godsall had been slightly wounded in the arm I turned the captives over to him and ordered him to take them to the rear. Just then the men of our second wave came over the In five minutes we had taken the rest of the Germans in the trench section pris- oners, had reversed the fire steps and had turned ‘their Own machine guns against those of their parapet like a lot of burdlers. zompanies that we could catch sight of.

The French; grasping the idea of the zgebra’s stripes and the leopard’s spots, paint their tents in map-like shapes of strong green and bright yellow.

French women work Zealously at the camouflage—‘‘a tip to American women now drilling in khaki, utterly useless,’ says one officer of the American unit. They weave countless square yards of a special open green fabric out of rushes, which can be stretched between poles, or spread out on roofs of supply depots, or on sheds with extreme rapidity. “We propose to make ours,” says Mr. Fry, “of American chicken wire fencing or grillage. This will give us a substan- tial background into which to weave whatever green substance we need to blend with the particular landscape in hand.” ' Some great feats of camouflage have been pulled off in the past few months by the clever French poilu-camoufleurs.

In a snug place of concealment be- hind the lines the artists painted on a screen that entire stretch of exposed road- way, with its background, as if it were to be a scene on the stage. Then in the night it was mounted on piles on the side of the road towards the enemy, so that when day dawned the Germans saw nothing extraor- dinary—there was the familiar road, as of the day before, wholly barren of human movement. But behind the screen along that road thousands and thousands of French soldiers were quietly marching to take their new positions, a water cart rolling along every 100 yards between the companies to keep down the dust. Another commanded a railway track far into the distance behind the French lines. That whole track, signals, rails and ties, and the trees that fenced in the line and the hills on the horizon, were all painted on a wide screen and set up in the night across a village street which was needed. The enemy never found out the trick. It is no safe occupation, this camou- flage. The camofleur, to achieve the right perspective, must take flights over his ob- jectives.

The Story of Emma McChesney Contiued From Paget). her door and walked down ‘the red-carpeted hotel cor- ridor. She had bad two hours of restful sleep. She had bathed and breakfasted and donned clean clothes. She had brushed the cinders out of her hair and manicured. She felt as alert and cool and refreshed as she looked, which speaks well for her comfort. Halfway down the hall a bedroom door stood open. Emma McChesney glanced in. What she saw made her stop. The next moment she would have hurried on, but the figure within called out to her. e Miss Blanche LeHaye had got into her kimono again. She was slumped in a dejected heap in a chair before the window. There was a tray, with a bottle and somé glasses on the table by her side. “Gawd, ain't it hot!” she whined miserably. “Come on in a minute. I left fhe door open to catch the breeze, but there ain’t any. You look like a peach just off the ice. Got a gent friend in town?” “No,” answered Emma McChesney turned to go. “Wait a minute,” said Blanche LeHhye, sharply and rose. She slouched over to where Emma McChesney stood and looked up at her sullenly. “Why,” gasped Emma McChes- ney, and involuntarily put out her hand, ‘“‘why—my dear—you've been crying! Is there’—— “No, there ain’t. I can bawl, can’t I, if I am a bum burlesquer?” She put down the squat little glass she had in her band and started resent- fully at Emma McChesney’s cool, fragrant freshness. “Say,” she demanded suddenly, “whatja mean by lookin’ at me the way you did this morning, h’m? Whatja mean? You got a nerve, turnin’ up your nose at me, you have. I'll just bet you ain’t no bet- ter than you might be, neither. What the’—— Swiftly Emma McChesney crossed the room and closed the door. Then she came back to where Blanche LeHaye stood. “Now listen to me,” she said. “You shed that purple kimono of yours and hustle into some clothes and come along with me. I mean it. Whenever I’m anywhere year this town I make a jump and Sun- day here. I’ve a friend here named Morissey — Ethel . Morrissy — and she’s the biggest-hearted, most un- derstanding friend that a woman ever had. She's skirt buyer at Barker & Fisk’s here. I have a standing invitation to spend Sun- day at her house. She knows I’m coming. I help get dinner if I feel like it, and wash my hair if I want to, and sit out in the back yard hurriedly, and She peeled potatoes, sitting hunched up on the kitchen chair, with her high heels caught back of the top rung. She chopped spinach until her face was scarlet, and her hair hung in limp strands at the back of her neck. She skinned tomatoes. She scoured pans. She wiped up the white oilcloth table top with a capable and soapy hand. The heat and bustle of the little kitchen seemed to work some miraculous change in her. Her eyes brightened. Her lips smiled. Once, Emma McChesney and Ethel Morrissey exchanged covert looks when they heard her crooning one of those tuneless chants that women hum when they wring out dishcloths in soapy water. After dinner, in the cool of the sitting room, with the shades drawn, and their skirts tucked halfway to their knees, things looked propitious for that first stroke in the plan which had worked itself out in Emma Mc- Chesney’s alert mind. She caught Blanche LeHaye’s eye, and smiled. “This beats burlesquing, doesn’t it?’ she said. She leaned forward a bit in her chair. “Tell me, Miss Le- Haye, haven’t you ever thought of quitting that—the and foo] with the dog and act like a human being for one day. After you've been on the road for 10 years a real Sunday dinner in a real home has Sherry’s flossiest efforts looking like a picnic collation with ants in the pie.

She smiled uncertainly. “What’s your game?” she inquired. “T’ll wait for you downstairs,” said Emma McChes- ney, pleasantly. ‘‘Do you ever have any luck with cara- mel icing? ‘Ethel’s and mine always curdles.” “Do 1?” yelled the queen of burlesque. “I invented it.’ And she was down on her knees, her fingers fumb- ling with the lock of her suitcase. Only an Ethel Morrissey, inured to the weird workings of humanity by years of shrewd skirt and suit buying, could have stood the test of having a Blanche LeHaye thrust upon her, an unexpected guest, and with the woman across the street sitting on her front porch taking it all in. At the door—“This is Miss Blanche LeHaye of the— er—Simon” “Sam Levin Crackerjack Belles,” put in Miss LeHaye. “Pleased to meet you.” “Come in,” said Miss Ethel Morrissey, without batting an eye. “I just ‘phoned the hotel. Thought you’d gone back on me, Emma. I’m baking a caramel cake. Don't slam the door. This your first visit here, Miss Le- Have? Excuse me for not shaking hands. I’m all flour. Lay your things in there. Ma’s spending the day with Aunt Gus at Forest City and I’m the whole works around here. It’s got skirts and suits beat a mile. Hot, ain’t it? Say, suppose you girls slip off your waists and I'll give you each an all-over apron that’s loose and let’s the breeze slide around.” Blanche LeHaye, the garrulous, was strangely silent. When she stepped about it was in the manner of one who is fearful of wakening a sleeper. When she caught the eyes of either of the other women her own glance dropped. When Ethel Morrissey came in with the blue-and- white gingham aprons Blanche LeHaye hesitated a long minute before picking hers up. Then she held it by both sleeves and looked at it long and curiously. When sh¢ looked up again she found the eyes’ of the other two upon her. She slipped the apron over her head with a nervous little laugh. “Pye been a pair of pink tights so long,” she said, “that I guess I’ve almost forgotten how to be a woman. But once I get this on I'll bet I can come back,” She proved it from the moment that she measured out the first cupful of brown sugar for the caramel icing. She shed her rings and pinned her hair back from her forehead and tucked up her sleeves, and as Emma Mc- “@hesney watched her a resolve grew in her mind. The.cake disposed of—‘‘Give me some potatoes to peel, will you?” said Blanche LeHaye, suddenly. “Give ‘em to me in a brown crock, with a chip out of the side. There's certain things always goes band in hand in your mind. You can’t think of one without the other. Now, Lillian Russell and cold cream is one; and new potatoes and brown crochs ig another.” pin SUNDAY MA - stage—and turning to something—something”—— “Something decent?” Blanche LeHaye finished for her. ‘I used to. I’ve got over that. Now all I ask is to get a laugh When I kick the comedian’s hat off with my toe.”’ “But there must have been a time,” insinuated Emma McChesney, gently. Blanche LeHaye grinned broadly at the two women who were watching her so intently. “I think I ought to tell you,” she began, “that I never was a minister’s daughter, and I don’t remember ever havin’ been deserted by my sweetheart when I was young and trusting. If I was to draw a picture of my life it would look like one of those charts that the Weather Bureau gets out—one of those high and low barometer things, all uphill and downhill, like a chain of mountains in a kid’s geography.” She shut her eyes and lay back in the depths of the leather-cushioned chair. The three sat in silence for a moment. “Look here,” said Emma McChesney, suddenly, rising and coming over to the woman in the big chair, “that’s not the life for a woman like you. I can get you a place in our office—not much, perhaps, but something decent —something to start with. If you”—— “For that matter,”’ put in Ethel Morrissey, quickly, ‘‘I could get you something right here in our store. I’ve been there long enough to have some say-so, and if I recommended you they’d start you in the basement at first, and then, if you made good, they advance you right along. Blanche LeHaye stood up and, twisting her arm around at the back, began to unbutton her gingham apron. “I guess you think I’m a bad one, don’t you? Well, maybe Iam. But I’m not the worst. I've got a brother. He lives out West, and he’s rich and married and re- spectable. You know the way a man can climb out of the mud while a woman just can’t wade out of it? Well, that’s the way it was with us. His wife’s a regular so- ciety bug. She wouldn't admit that there was any such truck as me, unless, maybe, the Municipal, Pretective League, or something, of her town, got to waging war against burlesque shows. I hadn't seen Len—that’s my brother—in years and years. Then one night in Omaha, GAZINE—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH--JULY 22. 1917, I giimmed him sitting down in the B. H. row. His face just seemed to rise up at me out of the audience. He recognized me, too. Say, men are all alike. What they see in a dingy, half-fed, ignorant bunch like us I don’t know. But the minute a man goes to Cleveland or Pittsburg, or somewhere on btsiness he'll hunt up a burlesque show, and what's more, he’ll enjoy it. Funny. Well, Len waited for me after the show, and we had a talk. He told me his troubles, and I told him some sf mine, and when we got through I wouldn’t have swapped with him. His wife’s a wonder. She’s climbed to the top of the ladder in her town. And she’s pretty and young- looking and a regular swell. Len says their home is one of the kind where the rubberneck auto stops while the spieler tells the crowd who lives there and how he made his money. But they haven’t any kids, Len told me. He’s crazy about ’em. But his wife don’t want any. I wish you could have seen Len’s face when he was talking about it.” She dropped the gingham apron in a circle at her feet, and stepped out of it. She walked over to where her own clothes lay in a gaudy heap. “Exit the gingham. But it’s been great.” She paused before slipping her skirt over her head. The silence of the other two women seemed to anger her a little. “IT guess you think I’m a bad one clear through, don’t you? Well, I ain’t. I don’t hurt anybody but myself. Len’s wife—that’s what I call bad.” “But I don’t think you’re bad clear through,” cried Emma McChesney. “I don’t. That’s why I made that Lroposition to you. That’s why I want you to get away from all this, and start over again.” “Me?” laughed Blanche LeHaye. “Me! In a office! With ledgers and sale bills and accounts and all that stuff! Why, girls, I couldn’t hold down a job in a candy factory. I ain’t got any intelligence. I never had. You €cn’t find women with brains in a burlesque troupe. If they had ’em they wouldn’t be there. Why, we're the dumbest, most ignorant bunch there is. Most of us are just hired girls dressed up. That’s why you find the Woman’s Uplift Union having such a blamed hard time saving souls. The souls they try to save know just enough to be wise to the fact that they couldn’t hold down a five-per-week job. Don’t you feel sorry for me. I’m doing the only thing I’m good for.” Emma McChesney put out her hand. “I’m sorry,” she said. “IT only meant it for’’—— “Why, of course,” Blanche lLeHaye heartily. “And you, too. She turned so that her broad, good-na- tured smile included Ethel Morrissey. ‘I’ve had a whale of a time. My fingers are all stained up with new potatoes and my nails is full of straw- berry juice, and I hope it won't come off for a week. And I want to thank you both. I’d like to stay,.but I’m going to hump over to the theater. That Dacre’s got the nerve to swipe the star's dressing room if I don’t get my trunks in first.” They walked with her to the front porch, making talk as they went. Re- sentment and dis- comfiture and a sort of admiration all played across’. the faces of the two women, whose kind- ness had met with rebuff. At the foot of the steps Blanche LeHaye, prima donna of the Crackerjack Belles, turned. “Oh, say,” she called. ‘I almost forgot. I want to tell you that if you wait until your caramel! is off the stove, and then add your butter, when the stuff's hot, but not boilin’, it won’t lump so. H’m? Don’t mention ?" (Copyright.) (Another episode in the life of Emma McChesney will appear in nezt Sunday’s Post-Dispatch Magazine.) National Peril of Platinum Jewelry) O essential is that silvery metal, platinum, in the manufacture of various devices of warfare and in our chemical industry that much attention is being given to the available supply at this time, when We are preparing to take our place with the allies in prosecuting the war to a successful conclusion. And it is not to be wondered at,.then, that the question has been asked, Shall we abolish platinum jewelry during the war? and that an affirmative answer has been given by the very parties in a position to reply—the jewelers. Men engaged in our budding chemical industry and the public at large will be pleased to learn that the Platinum Committee of the Jewelers’ Vigilance Commit- tee have passed resolutions which have been pre- sented to the Secretary of Commerce, recommending to the jewelry trade that the use of platinum in bulky and heavy pieces of jewelry be discouraged, and that jew- elers also discourage the use of platinum in all nonessen- tial parts of jewelry, such as scarf-pin stems, pin tongues, joints, catches, swivels, spring rings and ear backs, where zold would serve equally well. Platinum is esgential to the production of many of the munitions of war and is absolutely necessary for the development of our grow- ing chemical industry and for the development of our chemical knowledge. This action of the jewelers wil] un- doubtedly be followed by a drop in the price of the metal and an increase in the stock available for Federal use. The jewelers will undoubtedly yield up important profits by declining to encourage the undesirable per- .. sonal adornment and ostentatious display of wealth which is the chief reason for the use ef platinur in such articles as watch cases, solid platinum rings, bracelets, meshbags and so on, agreed “Why, girls, I couldn't hold down a position ina candy factory.” PAGE FLEVEN
