This dispatch, first to all the morning newspaper scribers o fthe Associated Press through- out the United States and published by them later sent to gubecribers, was as follows: A EUROPEAN PORT, July 28.—An- other American contingent has safely arrived and disembarked. The American troops arrived by the same steamer whereon Kermit Roosevelt, his wife and child, trav- eled. When tenders went alongside the vessel Friday the men were in high spirits and frequently shouted “Are we downhearted?” which was answered with a roaring ‘‘No,”’ given with great enthusiasm. Representatives of the genera! staff watched the disembarkatlon. There Was no civic demonstration. Only a few spectators knew of the landing. These cheered and the troops cheered back The men entrained quickly and left for their new quarters. A signal company remained at the port for some hours and these were the only representatives of the coptin- gent which the public saw. WASHINGTON, July 28.--The Gov- ernment withholds information or comment on the foregoing dispatch. The Associated Press saw no reasou for killing the dispatch,- inasmuch as it disclosed no military information of the locatidn or description of the troops and, further- more, because the dispatch had been passed through the official censorship in Europe. which was delivered sub- in extra “‘replate’’ editions and the afternoon newspaper The chief censor of the War Depart- ment told a representative of the As- sociated Press he was surprised that the dispatch had been passed by the ce.s8or abroad because he supposed an understanding had been reached with the allied Goverments as to what character of news respecting Ameri- can military forces was to be trans- mitted freely to the United States. The Asociated Press, too, has been Siven to understand that such an ar- rangements had been made. Hines Had No Request. Purthermore, the Associated has had no request from any ble official to submit news character passed by the censor Cilals in Washington before tributed to its members. On hand, the Secretary of War, July 5, in a statement to editors, permitted press cables from France to go directly to addresses without reference to Wash- ington, with the stipulation that certain Classes of information must not be con- tained in them.

Chief Young issued an yester- day afternoon compelling all automobi'te drivers who are arrested for speeding to have their bonds signed by qualified bondsmen. He hopes in this way to minimize the number of offenses. Here- tofore the automobilists have been al- lowed to sign their own bonds, but Chief Young thought this policy too lenient. Four speeders were arrested last night and were held from two to four hours awaiting bondsmen. Forty-three automobilists were arrest- ‘ed last night, including the four speed. ers. Twenty-eight were arrested for not having sufficient lights, five for care- leas driving, two for not having licenses and one each for violating traffic regu- lations, for felonious wounding and for not hav- ing a chauffeur's license. Since July 19, when Chief Young sued the order to arrest all automobilists breaking traffic regulations, 508 arrests have been made. order is- re ee TUCKS GIRL UNDER ARM AND STARTS OFF 10 BE MARRIED But loadin Sultor Stumbles, and She Is Hescued by 11-Year-Old Brother. movie elopement was pre- vented last night when Antonio Leduc- ca, 24 vears old, of 7315 Commonwealth avonue, who was carrying Valle Ruf- fino, 14, of the Commonwealth avenue address, under his arm, stumbled and fell a la Charley Chaplin.

WASHINGTON, July 2%8.—The Navy Department is breaking all American speed records in constructing destroyers to help fight submarines, Vessels of types that took two years to build be- fore the war are now being turned out in 10 months. The only obstacle to still further ducing the construction period is the shortage of enzines. Preparations are being made on a large scale, however, to increase the building facilities for engines and when this i8 done it is probanle destrovers will be turned out in eight months.

LOUIS WOMEN ARE REGISTERING FOR WAR SERVICE Stations Opened at 8 A. M. and Will Not Close Until 9 This Evening.

Automobiles have been placed at the disposal of the cap- tain at each station to facilitate the registration if a woman applies at the wrong precinct. Mrs. George Bass at the headquar- ters of the Woman's Central -Com- mittee on Food Conservation, said that few reports had been received by noon today on the registrations in the different wards. One report Stated that women in one of the (Twenty-third Ward precincts had registered by 10:30 a. m.

Mrs. Hays said that in the Eleventh Police District women had reported to her that the had told them not to sign the registration blank because the Government was going draft them. Mrs. Hays believes that the terests and anti-suffrage interests influenced the policemen.

The Colonel further expressed what seems to be the opinion of most officers here, that as many of these officers from training camps as can possibly be spared should be sent to France at the earliest possible date, to undergo intensive training in the actual also to have experience in the trenches sq that they will be fitted & act as instructors to the American troops as they are landed., There is a feeling that these young officers shouid not be held in America until the regi- ments to which it is proposed to assign them are actually formed, but should come in advance of their regiments so that they can direct the final training of their men here. Under this plan, a certain number of officers would be assigned more or less permanently to training duty in Ameri- ca, and men of the various regiments would pass through their hands for driil in the rudiments of soldiery. They would then cross the ocean and the regimental staffs would be completed on this side from among the officers who already had undergone a course of study and training in the ever-changing rules and practices of modern European warfare. The men of the expeditionary forces have settled down into the routine of the training very quickly and are pro- gressing as rapidly as their officers ex- pected. They are up at 5 o'clock in the morning, and reach the training ground not later than 7:45, drilling and digging without interruption until 11:30. After half an hour for lunch and anothe: hour | for rest, they drill again from 1 until already war zone ’ 4:30 o'clock. The men lunch in the field having sandwiches and other cold ra- tions prepared for them before they leave camp each morning. The French soldiers who are training the Americans rest from 11 to 2 o'clock. They nave field kitchens and eat a hot midday meal. U. S&S. Troops Good Bomb Throwers. As was to be expected, the American soldiers have taken naturally to bemb throwing. They like that part of the daily program better than any other. When they are not hurling dummy metal missiles they may be seen practic- ing with heavy stones, dummy shell holes having been constructed as tar- gets. The Americans are wonderfully accurate and the French instructors are amazed at their skill, so easily ac- quired. This of course is due largely to baseball training, although bombs are thrown with a straight arm swing quite different from the elbow motion of the baseball pitcher. Word was received from headquarters today that the expeditionary force field bakery would be in operation within the next few days, supplying the sol- diers with “homemade” American bread. They have been living thus far on the regulation French war bread. Representatives of the Salvation Army arrived at headquarters today and will soon make arrangements to hold meet- ings in the various billeting areas. The headquarters staff has received from the French Government meteoro- logical data of the department in which the American troops are training and also for the part of the line in which the troops may eventually be employed. These figures show January is the cold- est month of the year with a mean temperature of 33 degrees Fahrenheit, a maximum of 46 and a minimum of 5 above zero. July is the hottest month with an average maximum of 9 degrees and an average minimum of 45, the days being very warm and the nights quite cool. Preparations already are being made to protect the men as far as pos- sible from winter hardships. The damp- ness causes the cold to be felt keenly, a temperature of freezing on this side being as uncomfortable and dispiriting as zero in most American latitudes. Attention Paid o Amusements. The hard work of troops in training has made the officers more keenly anxious than ever to provide wholesome amuse- ments for them in their moments of leia- use. They now have band concerts given by both their own and French bands and it is hoped soon to have moving picture outfits available for every battalion. The suggestion has been made that war pictures such as the English film of the Somme battle and later pictures from that front should be shown to the men repeatediy, giving them an accurate idea of what actual fighting conditions are like. It is being planned to take both offi- cers and soldiers to the French front tn detachments from time to time so they may see and study life in the trenches before they are actually called upon’ to take their places there. These trips will be made during the training period and men who have heen in the trenches will instruct other squads in what they saw and learned there.

Among the arrested cxtrem- ists is said to be Mme. Kollontae, who was taken into custody at Tornea, Fin- jand, when returning from Stockholm. The Ministry of Justice is said to have issiied a statement that it has clear proof that Nikolai Lenine, the Radical Socialist, and two of his associates, Zinovieff and Kamenoff, were cerned in a Gepman plot against Rugs- sia. None of the correspondents, how- ever, méntions the arrest of Lenine. The whole internal situation is said to show signs of tmprovement and, ac- cording to the Times’ Odessa corre- spondent, it is generally recognized thai the various domestic problems must now await the end of the war for solu- tion. con- On the other hard, this correspondent records the victory of the extremists in the recent re-election of the local Executive Council of Workmen's and Soldiers’ Delegates. Mixtremist Influences. A dispateh from Petrograd to the Daily News attributes the cataitrophe on the southwest front entirely to ex- tremist influences, and says those troops behaved worst who had received the most réinforcements from Petrograd. The main argument whereby thu ex- tremists exerted their influence is, says the correspondent, the absence of an agreement making it clear to the sol- diers that Germany is responsible for the continuance of the war. Another one of the pleas is that the soldiers’ real enemy is behind him in the shape of the Bourgeois. These and similar arguments so Influ- enced the men that, although’they great- ly outnumbered the enemy, many regi- ments moved off, another followed and there began a movement eastward which destroyed communications and interrupt- ed supplies to troops who have tried to stick to their positions, so that these, too, have been forced to join the general] stream. No Sign of Stepping on Line. Thus far the retreaters do not show any sign or intention of stopping on a line. The aeplendid positions of Gen. Brussiloff's line north and west of Tar- nopol have been thro-vn away. It can hardly be called a German victory, since it is not the pesult of German pressure. lf the Germans had ‘cen in great force ithe retreat of the southern army would have long ago been cut, off, but it is probable the Germans themselves were somewhat disconcerted by the magni- tude of the task before them. Veith insufficient troops an advarice on this scale is a difficult operation, and German communication cannot be estab- lished in a moment on sucha wide area. A halt on the part of the enemy, caused by fatigue and hunger, would not be sur- prising. This might ive the Russians time to reat and tima for reaction among the soldiery by exposure of the ex- tremists. Let them once realize, says the correspondent, that the extremists have trieked them and the same troops who voluntarily retired today will volun- \arily advance. ‘ The Poat-Digpateh is the oniv§ evenine rawepaper in Bt.

PSYCHIATRIST TO DETERMINE QUALITY OF NEW SOLDIERS New York Specialist Appointed Army Captain to Head Seientific Commission. NEW YORK, July 28.—What is a peychiatrist? He is a person who is able to tell, after gjgjng you the “once over,” whether you are a coward or a brave man. Dr. Mortimer W. Raynor is a psychi- atrist. For that reason he was appoint- ed yesterday, so Conimissioner Burdette G. Lewis of the Department of Correc- tion announced, a Captain in the army. He is to be placed at the head of a commission that will determine from a ' scientific standpoint whether men who enlist or who are drafted are moral or physical cowards. This commission also will study the symptoms of men whv suffer from what is calied “shell shock.” Dr. Raynor has bean in charge of Qe city’s prisohers in various penal institu. tions. He separated the cowards from the brave men among them by the use of red and green blocks. These blocks would be mixed in he g@resence of the prisoner. If he could restore them tv their original order without much diffi- culty he was consideréd a brave man. tf he couldn't, he was considered a men- tal or moral coward.

The War Department explains that its w- timate of nearly two and a half b‘:. lion dollars ‘‘for armament of fortifi- Cations’’ was not to be utilized for the apparent purpose stated, but would be devoted to the manufacture of heavy and field ordinance to be sent to France and wherever American artillery was to be employed against the enemy.

PARIS: July 28.—David Lioyd Georg?, the British premier, yesterday save aA breakfast editors importaat French newspapers, at which he con- versed fully with them on the military situation and replied to questions. ‘fhe Temps gives a summary of his talk.

Great Britain had placed at the dis- position of her allies, he added, from 1,5%,000 to 2,000,000 tons of mercham ships. Next year’s building program for merchant ships, whieh already has begun, amounts to 4,000,000 tons or twice as much as in a good year during peace time. Alluding to the campaign against submarines, Lloyd George saiu: “The diminution of shipping losses is incontestable. It is impossible to abai- don the subject without paying homage to the aid given by the American navy. both regarding the organization of con- voys and by torpedo boat destroyers, which have rendered an _ invaluable service.”’ to of Continuing, Lloyd George said that 5.000,000 men and women now were en- gaged in war work in the United King- dom. More women could be employed if the trades unions did not fear the com- petition of women after the war, but other countries seemed to have experi- enced the sam difficultis. It could be said that at the present time no English are Working for individuals except in agriculture. Although the English people sincerely hoped that the present war would be the last war, Lloyd George continued, the country intended to avoid its previous error and in the future would be able to support itself. He said he recognized that the last news from Russia was not good news, byt that Russia had already shown she. possessed infinite resources and was the land of the unexpected. In bidding farewell to his guests, Lloyd George said the world’s future depended on Great Britain and France acting together.

For this, as on the occasion of their original entertainment, the admission charge will be only 5 cents, notwith- standing the general verdict on Wednes- day evening that it would be cheap at five times that sum. The members of the company are without exception ex- amples of what can be accomplished by capable professional instructors with material of the highest order. “Cabbage Hill School,’ a drama of striking merit, has had no more ade- quate production than was given it last night in the gymnasium of Grace Pres- byterian Church, Clara and Ridge ave- nues, by a company of girls and boys, who had applied themselves for weeks to the most conscientious and intelligent study of their respective parts, under direction of Miss Corinne Stewart of 956 Catalpa street. There was an audience of splendid proportions, one that in- spired the youthful players to their very best. The personnel of the company was: Blanche Beck, La Mar Silverburg, Edna Close, Nellie D. Silverburg, Estelle Lynn, Flora Bell, Virginia Selken, Dor- ris Quick, Margaret Calhoun, Constance Abrams, Dorothy Cottle, Jessie Barrie, Morris Beck, Allan Gould, Donald Cal- houn, Quentin Gould, William Skillman, Allan Calhoun, Dixon Rogers, Frank and Wilbert Beck and Mr. Hoffman. The boys and girls were ambitious and energetic in the arrangement of all details, inchuding the sale of tickets, the price of which was 25 cents, and enough were sold in advance to insure a large audience.

QUT THE NOTICES 70 DRAFTED MEN Official List as Published in the Post-Dispatch Used in Local Wards. Ward exemption boards of St. Louis are today using the official record of the army draft lottery published in the Post-Dispatch yesterday, to prepare notices to the men to be called up for examination for military service in tha national army. The record of numbers, s0 far as applicable to St. Louis, was published in full in the Home Edition and all later editions of the Post-Dis- patch. Adjutant-General McCord of Missouri announced in Jefferson City late yester- day that St. Louis will be required to furnish 4377 men under the first draft, and that the total for the State will be 18,860. It will be necessary for the ward boards of St. Louis to call up 8754 men for examination, as twice the number of men required will be notified to ap- pear for medical examination. St. Louis County will be required to furnish 406 men. Master Lists Awiated. The chairmen of the ward exemption boards said that they would not send out their notification cards until they receive the master lists from Washing- ton, but they are using the Post-Dis- patch list to facilitate their work. They will have much of the clerical and de- tail work completed by the time they receive their official lists. There is great rivalry among the boards as to Which will complete its work first. The Adjutant-Genmeral sent out from Jefferson City last night to city and county exemption boards the official quota for each division in the State. St. Louis will have to furnish a smaller number of men than the original esti- mates indicated. The first estimates were that St. Louis would have to fur- nish about 4700 men, but on account of enlistments in the regular army this was cut down. Three counties of the Howell and Laclede—will not be re- quired to furnish any men under the selective draft, as their regular army enlistments already are greater than their quotas. Credit Received for Enlistments. Every county and city in the State received credit for the number of men enlisted in the regular army and na- tional guard. The gross quota for St. Louis was 937 men, but the enlistments in the regular army and national guard to Juhe 380, were 4660. The gross quota for the entire State was 35,400, but en- listments reduced this to 18,660. The Twenty-fourth Ward of St. Louis will be called upon for 250 men, the larg- est number of any ward. The Third Ward will yield the smallest number, 106. Kansas City will have to furnish only $14 under the draft, as enlistments there have been active. The gross quota of Kansas City was 3775, but 2961 men al- ready have enlisted from that city. The exemption boards of St. Louis will be occupied for weeks making the ex- aminations and passing upon the ex- emption claims of the drafted men. Many of the members of these boards have given up their vacations and will] devote practically all of their time to the work until it is completed. TWO ERRORS IN DRAFT LIST Typographical Mistakes Made in Pub- lishing Sequence Numbers. There were two typographical errors in the complete official record of the draft lottery published in the Post-Dis- patch yesterday. Sequence No. 248 is No. 2309. published as 2039.

LONDON, July 28.—An article charac- terized as “difficult if not impossible to regarding the origin of the war, is published by the Times. The writer cites a reference the. Reichstag speech last week of Hugo Haase, leader of the Socialist minority, as reported in the Leipziger Volks Zeitung of July 2, to “the meeting of July 5, 1914," as one of the things which must be explaifled before the origin of the war its fully understood. According to the Times’ informant, this probably will become the most fa- mous date of that fateful month. He says a meeting was held at Potsdam, those attending being the Emperor, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, Admiral von Tirpitz, Gen. von. Falkenhayn, Dr. Wil- liam von Stuhm, Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs; Archduke Frederick of Austria, Count von Berchtold, Austrian Foreign Minister; Count Tisza, Premier of Hungary, and Gen. Hoetzendorff. They decided all the principal points of the Austrian ultimatum to be dispatched to Servia. Eighteen days later it was recognized that Russia probably would refuse to submit thereto and that war would result, but the meeting definitely decided to accept that consequence. The Emperor then went to Notway with the object, says the writer, of throwing dust into the eyes of the French and Russian Governments. Later when it became known that England would not remain neutral, Dr. von Beth- mann-Hollweg wished to withdraw, but it was too late. Herr Haase's reference, adds the Times’ informant, was well un- derstood by the majority of his hearers, for the subject was discussed in the Reichstag Budget Committee eignt weeks previously and created a great sensation. The Government was chal-, lenged to deny. the story, but did not, In his address to the Reichstag Herr Haase attacked the Government's home and foreign policy and demanded im- mediate peace negotiations, atonement for wrongs committed and the estab- lishment of a Socialist. republic. MAN DIES AFTER HE IS KNOCKED DOWN BY FIREMAR Suffers Fractured Skull After He Had Cut Another Man at Engine House. Charles Barry, a carpet cleaner and lawn trimmer, 49 years old, of 4039 Mor- gan street, died last night at the city hospital as the result of injuries he suf- fered at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon when he was knocked down by Fireman Patrick J. Brennan in front of Engine House 28 at 3934 Morgan street. Barry quarreled with Frank Prusse, a fireman, and the two exchanged blows. Barry drew a knife and cut Prusse across the abdomen. Brennan tried to take the knife from Barry and was cut on the left hand. He then hit Barry with his fist and knocked him down. Barry was unconscious and at the city hospital it was said his skull was fractured. Brennan was arrested and later released on a $500 bond.

A bill appropriating $17,000 for an ¢ex- perimental garbage reduction plant in which to teat the ‘Hirsch method,” was practically defeated yesterday by the Board of Aldermen, when a motion to suspend the rules and pass it was voted down. The bill cannot now be consid- ered until after the boar® reconvenes, Sept. 21. Mayor Kiel favored the appropriation, as did those Aldermen who want to buy the Indiana Reduction Co.'s plant near Dupo, Ul, for $336,000. Mayor Keil sup- ported the “Hirsch method” after first having approved a pliant of the so-called Cobwell type, recommended by the Board of Public Service. Aldermen who are urging the purchase of the Dupo establishment, which is managed by Otto F. Karbe, favored the bill for additional experiments, since its consideration meant a long delay. The city’s con- tract with the Indiana Reduction Co. expires in September, 1918, and President Kinsey of the Board of Public Service has said that it will take at least 15 months to erect a municipal plant. If the city is not prepared to reduce its garbage next year a new contract will have to be made. The Indiana company is the only concern operating a big re- duction plant in or near St. Louis. RED GROSS ARRANGES FOR - CO-OPERATION IN WAR WORK Independent Organizations Will Notified What Supplies Society Can Carry Overseas for Them. NEW YORK, July 28.—With the an- nouncement that the differences between the Red Cross and the allied War Re- lief Association had been settled on a basis permitting co-operation between the organizations, it was said today that the executive officers of the various societies will begin immediately a can- vass to learn which societies would in- sist upon sending supplies abroad. Under the terms of the agreement the Red Cross will accept certain supplies for their relief work in France from the independent organizations although it was decided that these supplies couid not be accepted with the understanding that they were for some certain hos- pital. As far as possible the Red Cross has requested the independents to suppiv money rather than supplies because it was said the Red Cross could buy sup- plies to better advantage in large quan- tities than independent purchasing by separate units. The Red Cross expects to give out in estimate of just what supplies it can carry overseas for the independent or- ganization in a few days. It was said all other differences between the vari- ous Organizations had been adjusted.

Why should Aldermen elected by the people to conserve their interests yield to the demand of men interested in the United Railways to railroad a measure admittedly favorable to the Railways? Whose interests are these men serving? Has not the city suffered enough from legis- lation in the interest of franchise grabbers and stock jobbers in public utilities? Fortunately, the railroading movement has been checked for a time. The people are just beginning to understand the meaning of the proposed agreement. Does any unbiased person in St. Louis think that $60,000,000 is a fair valuation of the Railways property? .

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Bonuses for U-boat Remedy. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ny of the most authoritative writers on the subject agree that the outcome of the present great war hinges largely on the success or failure of the submarine. In spite of every safeguard so far em- ployed this vicious water craft still reigns the supreme peril of the sea. If peace were declared tomorrow we owe it to the future security of our nation to Gevise a protection against this deadly and destructive form of warfare. There fs no cause to which the people of the United States would contribute more glad- ly than to a fund to exterminate the sub- marine as a weapon of war. For this purpose a series of prizes ag- gremating $2,000,000 to be divided as fol- lows, is suggested. For the most prac- ticable plans submitted: First Beoond ....+5:.. Third The magnitude of such rewards would Drink to the solution of this problem the greatest array of inventive genius ever enlistef for a single purpose. Thousands of efperts who now give the subject scarcely a passing thought would devote night and day to its most strenuous study, and before the advent of the year the sub- marine as a naval force would be swept from the seas. To defeat the submarine would be the most immediate and effective aid we could offer our allies. It would contribute more to their ultimate victory than a million men hurled into the vortex of battle or billions of dollars poured into the maw of war. It would give the right of way to all shipping on the sea. It would infuse fresh hope into the hearts of the battle- battered troops of England, France and Italy. It would reunite Russia and drive its once-powerful, now wavering army back to the front. It would permeate with dismay the vaunted iron line of Von Hin- denburg, and the people of Germany would Fise and demand peace. It would save hundreds of thousands of valuable lives of our nation, our allies, and our enemies, by bringing this world-quaking conflict more quickly to a close.

Why not conserve coal in 1917- 18? Cut out the wasteful furnace and sub- stitute the improved heating stove. It Goes wonders. AN UNCLE 8AM NEPHEW. Children Playing in Streets. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Referring to an editorial in the Post- Dispatch about carelessness on a chauf- feur’s part, in which the last sentence said, “Forty-four fatalities since Jan. 1,” I want to know if the majority have not been ehildren under 6 years of age, who were playing in the street. There is not a day that I do not see children from 2 years old up, playing ball, Jacks, or roller skating in the middle of the etreet. When you drive by and blow your horn, they either stand still and dare you to hit them, or throw stones, sticks and dirt at you The other day I drove past Twenty-fifth and Benton streets, and there was a boy about 9 years old with braces on his legs and roller skates on his feet, lying flat on his stomach playing with some dirt in the middle of the cross- ways, both of which are busy thorough- fares. The law fining speeders $500 is a good one, but is there not some law to keep these children from playing in the streets? There are parks and play grounds provided for them, and the street is no place. What about this, is there not care- lessness on the part of parents as well as automobile drivers? MRS. E. B. DYER, 4549A Red Bud avenue. Rip Van Winkle Franchises. To the Bditor of the Post-Dispatch. o matter what arrangement the city of St. Louls makes with the United Ra!l- Gays, why a Rip Van Winkle period of 50 years extension of its franchise? Do not all modern and up-to-date cities now make the life of a franchise 20 to 25 years? So why the Rip Van Winkle period of 560 years” ST. LOUISAN. e FIGHTING. From the Topeka State Journal, It may be recalled that Gen. Nivelle said that the only way he knew to fight is to fight. Gen. Leonard Wood appears to te of the same mind. He is quoted as saying that the war will be won by a preponder- ance of men and that there ‘4 no roval road, *t6 Vigtory. One experiment has nét yet been tried by the entente. It is that of at- tacking the enemy on every front at one @ed the same tim a valuation is many millions beyond a fair ap- praisal. . In Kansas City, where the valuation for earn- ings and purchase purposes was $30,000,000, which was $8,000,000 above the actual value, the excess was frankly admitted to be an “intangible value.” An “intangible value” is a franchise value, for the capitalization of which there is no ground either in law or ethics. The franchise value, which is the privilege of using the streets, belongs to the people. Kansas City compromised with law and right in this excess by providing that the surplus earn- ings be applied to the amortization of the “intan- gible value” so that the actual value for purchase eventually would be $30,000,000. In our $60,000,000 deal, in which there is twice the “intangible value” in the Kansas City deal, there is no provision for amortization. In the Kansas City deal the city gets two-thirds of the surplus, yet Kansas City has concluded that its deal is a failure. “It is a good thing for the company” say the leaders. The city is no nearer ownership than it ever was and the outlook, with increasing costs for extensions, is hopeless. Does any unbiased person in St. Louis deny that the proposed partnership between the city and the company is a monstrous blunder? Let us get down to a business basis. Let us arrive at a fair valuation of the street railway property. Let us approve a fair return on the accepted valuation. Beyond this, cut out franchise taxation and apply the surplus earnings to extensions, service improvements and reductions of fare. The company should get what it is entitled to and no more; the city should get what it is en- titled to in taxes and no more; the people who use the cars and pay everything should get the best service’ at the lowest possible fare. The public benefit is the sole reason for the existence of public utilities. Nothing is fixed until it is¥fixed right. Not only will the people pass on any ordinance adopt- ed, but the State Public Service Commission has the power to regulate earnings, extensions and fares. AMERICAN DOLLARS FOR GERMANY. How American firms, working under arrange- ment with German monopolies, are piling up money whose aid in relieving Germany in finan- cial exhaustion after the war can be relied on, and doubtless discounted now, has lately been pointed out in Congress. These monopolies are patent monopolies. The principal sources of revenue are an almost end- less variety ‘of remedies and useful chemicals made from coal tar. Products of this sort made in Germany can no longer be imported, but Amer- ican concerns manufacturing them according to patented processes or even using copyrighted trade marks or handling reserves of exports brought in before the war are obligated to pay the Gérman proprietors large sums whose ac- cumulations will be due when it is again legal to trade with the present enemy. This embarrassing situation comes about frem the fact our patent laws are too liberal, more lib- eral than those of any other commercial country. These monopolies were irksome enough in time of peace, when larger prices were exacted in America than in other countries, but they become intolerable when the tripled and quadrupled prices which the products command now accrue to the benefit of the enemy. Congress, which dawdled with the old problem in time of peace, should put Into effect a permanent and more rational policy under the spur of urgent war conditions. INSPIRATION, NOT DISCOURAGEMENT. “When thou didst enter the lists with a prac- ticed slinger,” said the old Persian poet, “in thy want of skill thou exposedst thine own head to be broken.” The reminder is good for the souls of those over-optimistic Americans who have hoped too much of the Russian offensive of this summer. There has been a pretty general feeling that America’s entrance into the war would be in a purely academic sense; that it would encourage our allies, discourage the enemy and that the war would be over before we actually got men into the field. All hopes of such an outcome have fallen with the recent disasters in Galicia. If they have no worse consegeunces they mean that effective Rus- sian co-operation cannot be hoped for this year. They are bound to increase German, and particu- larly Austro-Hungarian morale. ft is best for us to understand from the outset that wé “have @ long and arduous task ahead. We are not going into the lists with an “un- | practiced slinger,” and if we would save our heads means, it may be well to ask him whether he throw down bombs upon the women and children of Berlin. cause German men have killed women and chil- dren in England, women and children in Ger- many should be destroyed, he should have the courage of his convictions and be willing to act as executioner. No one can blame those who have suffered from German brutality in the air raids advocating re- prisals in kind. But, as the Archbishop of Can- terbury has pointed out, even as a deterrent, such acts of reprisal would be ineffective. The Ger- mans “would always outdistance us in ruthless- ness.” As for the offer of money for such devilish actions, by those who have not suffered from sim- ilar deeds, it cannot be defended. A New York verse writer recently wrote “A German Flyer’s Thought,” the last two lines of which read: “They should put felons in the planes that fly, To drop their filthy murder from the sky.” Let Prussia stand alone in this work of shame. a ww = If America gets through the war without a change in the Cabinet it will be in a class by itself. Every other belligerent and practically all of the neutrals have had- upheavals among the portfolio bearers. —_——— ¢ ¢@—_____—___ THE WATERING OF SINAI. In the desert of Sinai, where the Children of Israel wandered for 40 years, water is scarce. There are no ever-flowing streams, and Bible readers will remember how, when the Israelitish wanderers were threatened with death by thirst, Moses, at God’s command, struck a rock on the side of Mount Horeb. dance. There is a “Moses’ Well” in the desert of Sinai to this day, but the lack of water was the greatest drawback in the military advance by the British which, during the past year has resulted in driving the Turks out of the Province of Sinai. How the ancient, waterless desert was conquered by modern science is thus described: To regain this peninsula, the true frontier of Egypt, hundreds of miles of road and rail- way had been built, hundreds of miles of water piping had been laid, filters capable of sup- plying 1,600,000 gallons of water a day, and reservoirs had been installed, and tons of stone transported from distant quarries. Kantara had been transformed from a small canal village into an important railway and water terminus, with wharves and cranes and a railway ferry; and the desert, till then al- most destitute of human habitation, showed the successive marks of our advance in the shape of strong positions firmly entrenched and protected by hundreds of miles of barbed wire of standing camps where troops could shel- ter in comfortable huts, of tanks and reser- voirs, of railway stations and sidings, of aero- dromes and of signal stations and wireless in- stallations, by all of which the desert was subdued and made habitable, and adequate lines of communication established between the advancing troops and their ever-reced- ing base. The Egyptian Kings, long before Moses, invaded this desert to mine turquoise. They built water reservoirs and dug wells. The desert, however, swallowed these works up. Will the improve- ments now made be durable? It may be that the Well of Moses will survive them all. = © Fort Funston, which is being erected in Kan- sas to accommodate the national army units from Kansas, Missouri and Colorado will be one of the biggest cities in Kansas.

She is confronted with the necessity of violating her mother’s admonition or Sheriff Bopp’s prohibition. If she disobeys her mother she will be liable to get it where disobedient daughters usually get it. If she disregards the Sheriff she will be arrested. Ever since the first girl ran to her mother with “Mother dear, may I go swim?” and heard the gracious “Yes, my darling daughter,” she has been hanging her clothes on a hickory limb and posing near the water, as mentioned in the ma- ternal injunction. Now comes Sheriff Bopp and ---— - but she must go in the water. Not only go in, but stay in and not come out until she is ready to take her clothes from a hick- ory limb and go home to mother. But what will mother say when daughter confesses that she not only hung her clothes on a hickory limb, but went right in the water! And what will mother do! Was ever a girl in a one-piece suit in such a sorry plight! Sheriff Bopp has been having a look. Some of the things he saw on the banks of the Meramec made him blush all over. Girls who had hung their clothes on a hickory limb were romping about on dry land in nothing in particular and not much of that. ‘And they were not going near the water. That was where Bopp clashed with mother. And that is why daughter doesn’t know what to do. If she goes in the water she risks the maternal slipper. If she doesn’t go {fn the water Sheriff Bopp will nip her.

The wom- en who write these sob letters do it in all love and tenderness, and without a thought of the torture they are inflict- ing on those who are nerving theim- selves, as best they may, to face the horrors of the most terrible ordeal that human beings have ever been called upon to endure. For our men are not going 4cnorantly, gaily, blithely to the trenches. They know all that it means of danger and death, and they are not answering the lure of mad adventure, but the trumpet call of a solemn duty. They need all the courage that they can possibly summon up.. How can a man zo forward when his wife or his mother writes him that every step he takes away from her is breaking her heart? Of course, the women who write these doleful letters do not realize the harm that they are doing, nor do they mean everything that they say. Nor if they were in the men's places would they be as much depressed by the melancholy missives as the men are. Women are comforted by tears and it consoles them to know that they are wept over, and go they are never able to understand that a man simply disintegrates under a woman's tears, and that they sap the last bit of courage that is in him. Therefore, when a woman writes a man that she is weeping over his loss day and night it is just an assurance of her love and tendernes—the highest tribute she can pay him—and she doesn’t sense that she is tearing the heart out of his bosom and making him utterly misera- ble. | | Women also like to be pittied, and they find a morbid pleasure in always anticipating the worst that can possibl: happen.

When we have anything hard to do what we need is a brace and not a weak- ening. When we have a task before us that calls for all of our strength and all of our determination, what we need is not to be pitied, nor to have the woes of another laid upon us, but to be en- couraged, to be bucked up, to be made to feel that we are doin;; a man’s part, and that we are bound tw succeed. When we have a hard road to travel, it is the purt of unselfish love to clear the path before us, not to put satumbling blocks in our way. Let there be no more sob letters sent to the front. Let every letter breathe ope and courage and victory. Let every letter say that somewhere at home there is a dauntless woman who has sent forth a inan who she knows will be worthy vf her and of-his country. Let every letter make every man who get it feel that tl« woman that he loves best is right be- hind his back, bracing him up to do the best that is in him, and ready to reward him with the smile that is a crown f rlory round every man's head.

Men love to bask under the human maple tree, that saccharine young creature whose lips drip the ma- ple syrup of flattery upon the eligible and the ineligible alike, just to keep in practice. Men like the joyful girl. A “‘grouch”’ is a strictly masculine privi- lege to be guarded as jealously as they guard the ballot. Men may rail at fate, question the eternal verities, but let a woman try it and immediately they dis- cover there is something queer # her. It is her business to seem as a woman glad, whether she is or not. The geyser girl, the fountain playing in sunshine, dispensing sweetness and light and gurgling optimism upon the world, is as much mobbed by men eager | rut to bathe their somber spirits in her Smiles as if she were a Coney Island bathhouse on Saturday afternoon. W that’s because the fountain of light is not turned on for them. And they know that too much mirtn and frolic in public means hysteria in private; that the woman who is reallv pleasant to live with dwells always in the temperate’ zone. Only a man could have written “Sweet Alice Ben Bolt,” for only a man would believe that a girl who laughed with delight when you gave her a smile and trembled wit fear at your frown was not fitful and ill tempered around the house unless, of course, she was the village idiot. And even idiots have their ups and downs of feeling. “What mén like in women?” |} asked a member of the ALL-Star Sex, and he answered’ “They like good cocks—and OMEN don't like her so much. But do slender “They like eyes,’ | said, “and teeth. Few care anything about noses or the shape of lips. I've known men to cor- sider women beautiful whose mouths might have been cut with a can open- er. “No, the critic of woman admitted. “I don’t believe men ,care very much about features, anyhow. They . like wholesomeness, s00d temper, amiabili- ty, what they call a sunshiny girl.’ “Do they like brains?’’ I asked. “Brains are not always fatal,’’ he #n- swered magnanimously. “No man be- grudges a girl a brain—if well—if she can wear white spats to advantage.” ‘Do you remember what Sidney Smith said about blue stockings?’ I asked. “I care not how blue the stockingy may be so long as the petticoat is lon” enough to hide it.’ But he was a cler- gyman. I gather that the modern man does not care how blue the atocking is so long as it is of silk and worth woking at.’’ HE views of the writer in the De- T lineator are much more definite than mine. She believes emphat- ically that in courtship a xirl shoul] move backward iike a crab. Perhaps - crabbing has never seemed to me to be a very popular sport with men. Here is what she says in favor of the crab method: “T wonder ff love isn’t something Iie happiness? When you're doinz nothing but looking for it, you never seem t» find it: and then, as f00n as youre whole-heartedly interested in something else, so busy that you haven't time even to be Happy, you wake up in the morn- ing ready to sing and shout for the mere pleasure of being alive. % ‘‘] believe that true about love, too, said Barbara. ‘When a girl warts to be married, when attention from me» is the only thing she thinks or cares about, that seems ‘to be the time when none of it ever comes. Probably in ner very eagerness she makes herself tor is ankles, pep—and patience.’’ — —_ — How I Helped “ T was a queer thing for a woman to do,’’ said Jim to me when he was well enough to hear all about it, ‘“‘but you did it for me and I’m mighty thankful to you and proud that you succeeded so well.”’ I was relieved, I can tell you, for I was afraid that when he found out about it he would scold me. My husband was a barber and just before he was taken sick he had bought out a small shop with two chairs. In less than a month his business grew, so that he was obliged to purchase another chair and on Saturdays get in an extra assistant. Then he was taken ill with typhoid fever and was in the hospital for a month and in a convalescent home in the country for another month. Mean- while I was obliged to manage his busi- ness. Jim's helper was a steady man and a good operator, so I had no trouble with him: it was getting the extra help in on Saturdays and Sunday mornings to handle the extra work that made all the trouble. One Saturday morning the helper said to me: “I'm sure I don’t know what to. do. There will be a crowd in here this after- noon and evening and I have not been able to get anybody. to help out. If we can’t do the work when people come in here we'll lose’ all our trade.’ “Let me help you, Tony,” I said. “Don’t joke,’’ he replied; “I’m about crazy.

We talked it over for a little while and finally decided to try in earnest what I had offered half in joke, really because we did not know what else tu do rather than for any other reason.

But Tony explained to them that the boss wa: sick and his wife, who was an expert in the business, Was going to take his place for a while. At first they rather hung back, but after one bravo man had broken the ice by letting me give him a shave and a haircut, I had more than I could do and sv many waiting that Tony declared he had hard work getting anyone into My ' HUSBAND U® We took in so much money that afternoon and evening that I made up my mind to stay in the shop all the time Jim was sick, for hig illness was so expensive we badly needed all the money I could earn. I worked in this way for over six weeks and I never had any trouble. If anyone got fresh all I needed to do was to call Tony and exchange jobs witli him and let him attend to “Mr. Smarty” while I finished his man. I had only to do this on-e and my next customer was meek as a lamb. / Volcanoes Found to Be Hottest on Surface OTWITHSTANDING what schvol- N books have said, it now appears that a volcano is hottest on its surface rather than below it. This is the conclusion drawn by a scientist whvu has made extensive investigations in craters in Hawaii and has obtained sam- ples of gases and lava before they reached the air, says Popular Mechanics, Laboratory studies of these samples make it appear probable that much of the heat required to keep an open lava basin in fluid condition @s supplied by the chemical action of thé gases. From these investigations the scientist con- cludes that in times of great activity the temperature of the surface of a volcano undoubtedly is higher than that below the surface.

A traveler who visited Italy in the early part of the Seventeenth Century, like many a traveler of these time: wrote a book about his impressions of the country and its people and recounted what he saw there that interested him particularly. He it was who reported the common use of forks in that country, explained clearly how they were managed and for what purpose, and ended by saying that there he found that it was considered an exhibition af bad taste to touch meat with the fingers. These new table utensils were made. some of iron, some of steel; and a few, ' used by gentlemen only, as he reported, of silver. He became accustomed to their use while in Italy and continued the cus- tom when he returned to his home in England, thereby making himself the butt of much ridicule, so it is said. And, when this new custom began to spread, a clergyman is said to have preached a serinon on the subject and declared that the use of forks, rather than fingers, was an insult to Providence. Even in spite of that, however, the sage grew. | Forks were known in England at an — 4 \\\ \ \ \ ‘ \\ NY \ a“ \\ ’ \ \\ \\ \\) .

They came into favor slowly, however. Up to the time of Henry VIII, fingers were regarded as quite sufficient and satisfactory and the etiquette of the times called for the utmost daintiness in their use, Of course, no matter how daintily one dipped the hands if the dish, they had tu be washed directly after every meal and so that necessitated the presence in every large household of a servant known as the “ewrar,” or “ewary,’’ who, with his qmssistants, came into the banqueting hall at tne close of each feast, before the guests or family left their places at table, and presentéd to each in turn basins of water and towels.. Doubtless the fingerbowl of today its the survivor of that ancient custom. Finally an enterprising manufacturer at Sheffield began to make steel forks in quantities, first with two prongs only. later with three. Gradually the usage became general, although it’ was long before the Nttle country inns began to lay in a sufficient supply of such things. Accordingly, it became the usual custo... for travelers to include among their equipment an in- dividual knife and fork, in a neat sha- green case.

Then it was noon and when I told the gang that me and Jubilee was going io run away from home and Jubilee went to dinner they was alll very much ex- cited and proud of me and they wanted to know where I was going and I told them I was going to Mexico to hecome a hero and rescue a beautiful American mine oaners dotter from the greesers and they thot that was immense and Peenuts said he wood go along and I have promised to send Nibs some Mex postidge stamps and the lost bag of tripe some Mex money and then Banty asked me to send him a horney frawe and then all the rest of them wanted horney frawgs.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH Sixth Consecutive Victory Fails to Advance Cardinals ae” Fast - Flying Cincinnati Reds and Leagué-Leading Giants Re- tain Their Advantages by Defeating Foes Yesterday—-Good Fortune Helps Huggins’ Men in Eleven - Inning .Contest. LTHOUCGH outhit 14—9, the breaks of the game were with the Cardi- A nals throughout and the Knot-Holers remained in the thick of the fight for the National League pennant yesterday by downing the Braves of Boston, 4—3, in 11 innings, in the second contest of the series. While on Thursday 15,000 fans were on hand, only 3400 turned out for yesterday’s battle. Yesterday’s victory was the locals’ sixth straight. All the luck, and it was all good. wae with the men of Huggins yes- terday. Time after time, the Braves had men in scoring position only to have the succeeding batter hit right etraieht to a fielder, with the result being a double play and ending an impending rally. “Bone Head” work on the sacks also helped. Although Rogere liornsby failed to get a hit yesterday, the other half of the Cards’ “wrecking crew” was on duty. Walton Cruise drove in the third run for the Cardinals in the sixth, while he opened the eleventh with a double to left center and later tallied when Douglas Baird lifted a long fly to Sherry Magee in right. Gene Packard, the southpaw, start- ed on the hurling hill for the men of Hugrins. He lasted until after Pow- ell, the first batter to face him in the}, eighth, had singled and gone to third en Jack Smith's fumble. During his stay on the peak, the side-wheele: was hit safely 19 times. Braves Lack Scoring Punch. In all but the second and third, after the Braves had tallied a pair in the initial round, the first batter to face Packard reached first. The Braves during the contest put 15 men on first, but were able to get only three of them around, while the of- ficial records will show that only geven were left stranded. Between double plays by the locals and some “bone head” bage running, the men of Stallings had a sorry time of it. With 4wo gone in the first, Rehg singled and went to third when Kelly hit safely. On an attempteed double steal, Snyder dropped Miller's perfect return and Rehg scored. Koney tal- lied Kelly with a single. Neither of these markers were earned, so the Rraves, on 14 bingles, managed to tally only one earned marker. Here are just a few of the inci- dents that helped out the Cardinals: FOURTH INNING—With Smith on third and Tragesser on first, a double steal was started, but Smith was out when Packard ir- tercepted Snyder's throw and tossed to Baird at third. FIFTH INNING—Two on, none out. Hughes, running for Al- len, was picked off second on Snyder's throw to Hor 1isby. Hornsby dropped the ball and tmpire Emslie waved the run- ner safe.

Draft to Hit Municipais. A meeting of the Municipal Base- ball League heads will be held at the citv hall next Wednesday, to consid- er plans for offsetting the effect of the army draft in breaking up Mu- nicipal League teams. A rule of the league demands that no players shell be signed after Aug. 1. It is expected that club managers will be permitted to sign four new plavers to be used only to take the place of drafted men. The league is approaching the elim- ination serfes. About six more games remain to be played bhefore the championship is reached. . ee Cedar Rapids Quits. Cedar Rapids, Io., withdrew from the Central Association yesterday at a meeting of the directors of the league at Waterloo. Efforts are be- ing made to place the club in Web- ster City.

HEN Czar Ban Johnson, long in- trenched in the belief that war could not shake baseball, begins to show signs of intending to retreat the bombardment must be severe. Johnson has _ hitherto hopefully maintained that the ball players might expect exemptian favors due to the fact that United States army sergeants have been drilling the ball players for several months. Only a short time ego he told the Post- Dispatch he thought it possible some favors in this respect might be shown. But yesterday in Chicago he gave out an interview which indi- cates that he has no dhnticipation that hall players will be exempted from reporting, at least until the end of the season, ' ; - . * 25 Players Involved.

The announcement of such losses will be made in ample time to enable all clubs to take on additional talent which in a way, would plug the gaps left, should these, by any contin- gency, happen to be in the first line of battie. The Natioz-:l League, throug - ident Tener, has taken thie 76. The N. 1. executive is quoted as say- ing: “T' cannot see why we shoulda not play the world’s series thin fall. sincé we have played through the regnioe season, successfully.” Nor can anyone else, HE change of attitude on the part of Johnson, suggests that he may also have altered views he ex- pressed to the Post-Dispatch, re- cently, regarding next season. “We will go through with the schedule next year, war or no war.” Johnson told the writer, in substance. If the first. draft blota cut the world's series, the draft of the en- tire 6,000,000, expected te be called by 12 months from today, would cqm- pletel+ wipe out baseball. NEW YORK CLUB BARS MEMBERS FROM TITLE EVENTS DURING WAR NEW YORK, July 2.—Holding that it is unpatriotic to hold championship events in any branch of athletics during the term of the war, it was announced by the New York Athletic Club today that no members would be allowed to compete in championships under the colors of the club, until peace has. been deciared. This action was taken, it was said, because a number of the men at the front were holders of champion- ships and it would be un rtamanlike to compete in contests in which the men would not have the opportunity of de- fending their titles. Although the annoyncement means the club . will not he presented in the coming MetfPDpolitan or National A. A.

He has driven out 130 hits, including 26 dou- bles, 19 triples and three home runs. Chicago, which is making a desperate bid for the pennant, is without a .300 hitter among the regulars.

Frank Keating, the new Chief of Po- lice of East St. Louis, briefiv outlined to a Post-Dispatch reporter today his plans for reorganizing the Police De- partment and cleaning up the city. Keating, who is a building contractor, and who was City Treasurer during the Chamberiain administration, said: have a lot and $106,000 with which to erect a building on it, the first thing I do is to draw up plans to fit the lot and the money, and that is what I am doing for the Police Department. When the prane are completed 1 will take the public into my confidence. “In the first place, there will be no more politics in the department, I have been employing men for 30 years, and I have never tried to influence the vote of aman. Every policeman will be ex- pected to do his duty, and he will be as- sured of my support if he does it, re- gardiess of outside influence.’ Will Forbid “Mooching.” Referring tu the condition that has ex- isted for many years, during which po- Iicemen extended special favors to per- sons on their beats, and received favors in return, Chief Keating said the prac- tice would be put down immediately. “There will be no more ‘mooching’ po- licemen,’’ he declared. “We will get rid of the ‘mooching,’ or we will get rid of the policeman.” He declared that commercialized gam- ‘bling would not be tolerated under any circumstarees. “I am not a criterion of virtue—I am broad-minded on every- thing, but gaming where the house gets a rakeoff will be rooted out merciless- ly,”” he asserted. “don't intend to go into any man’s house and stop his card game, and the harmiess saloon penuckle game will not be molested, unless there are bad results.” Keating also delivered an ultimatum to Justices of the Peace who have per- mitted the ‘“‘fixing’’ of casea in their courts. The practice has been notorious for many vears. “When an officer arrests a guilty per- son that person is going to be convicted, if there is sufficient evidence.’’ the new Chief declared. “We are going to get a square deal'from these fellows across the street (meaning the Justices) or we certainly will find out why. There are good men on the force who have been almost unfitted for service because they did not get the proper support from the courts.” New Commissioners Take Office. Keating was appointed last night, after the new commissioners, Dr. J. F. Reid, Fred Geissing and FEF. J. Coffev, accepted their appointments and organ- ized. Dr. Reid was elected president of the board. The acceptance came after a confer. ence with the members of the Subcom- mittee of Safety of the Committee of One Hundred, during which the ap- pointees were shown that $90,000 had been subscribed by the business interests of the city and $15,000 more was in sight The whole amount will be donated to finance the Police Department. — Before leaving for your summer vaca- tion, order the POST-DISPATCH sent to your summer home.

Reasons Given for Cut in St. Paul Dividend. NEW YORK, July 28.—Reasons for the decrease in the common dividend from 5 to 4 per cent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Co. were set forth yesterday in a letter from directors to stockholders. It sai the need for ownership by the_com- pany of its own line to the Pagific Coast, amounting to about 3045 a and involving an expenditure of $260 000,000, together with increased mile- age of 658 for second main-line track, at a cost of $36,000,000, made the de- crease necessary. This increased mile- age has caused the vurchase of large additions to motive power and rolling stock costing 61. Mortgage bonds issued to meet ‘these expendi- tures have increased the fixed annual interest charges approximately $9,500, - 000. Had not the cost of maintaining and operating railways, the letter con- cludes, radically changed, such as la- bor, fuel, materia] and supplies, the company would easi!y have earned its interest charges, its usual dividends and a substantial amownt as surplus for use in betterments. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 2%.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, says: “In the two hours of quiet business on the Stock Excchange this morning, prices advanced with a great deal of vigor. Gains of 1 and 2 points were nu- merous among the industrials, and rail- road stocks continued firm. There was little to account for the action of prices, except that speculators who had sold for a decline, repurchased stocks over the week-end. “In a declining market, such as has prevailed this week, such a process cor- responds to the gentral selling-out of speculators on a Saturday, after hav- ing made profits on a previous advance. “The German bank statement pub- lished today revealed a further loss of $14,000,000 gold, the largest decrease since the $19,000,000 decrease in the week of June 23. The Rank Statement. “Surplus reserves of the _ clearing house banks, as reported today, declined $27,000,000 within the week, bringing that item down to $107,000,000, against only a moderate gain of $9,200,000 in deposits and of $11,700,000 in loans. “Tne decrease in excess reserves was accounted for by a decline of $49,415,000 in resgrves of members at the Reserve Bank, although the reserves of the State banks and trust companies. in- creased $14,000,000. ‘In the statement of the Reserve in- utions rediscounts were shown to have declined $18,600,000; but, in addi- tion, there was apparently a heavy drain of funds during the week, through the reserve em 5° to other centers.’ DETAILED REPORT OF DAY'S TRADING IN WALL STREET NEW YORK, July 28.--—Many substantia! gaing were recorde!) at tie outse: of todev's brief session, invesime.it rails anc war aquip- mente featuring the advance.

BEST IN SIX GREAT RELIGIONS. | N his book, “The Sympathy of Reli- gions,’ George RK. Dodgson, Ph. D., his given the world an extremely valuable and interesting study of six ol ? the greatest religions—Christianity, the Religion of Greece, the Religion of Veda, of the Buddha and two other Hindu re- ligious systems. In each he has chosen the best, treating all in a spirit of sym- pathy and showing how, from humble beginnings, mankind nas progressed into spiritual light. The quotations, in prose and verse, from the world’s great scrip- tures, are comprehensive and well chos- en. And the conclusion is that behind all the creeds and religions of the world there is one manifestation of truth, “The spiritual life of humanity is one life, and between the yearnings and crude guesscs of primitive men and the purified faith and noble philosophy of the present there is a rational connection. The germ of the most elevated thought. and the purest love was present in the beginning, and the relation of the lower stages to the higher is that of bud and blossom or flower and fruit. Each stage in the religious life of man has its value, its importance and its right to exist, afd no religion is beneath notice.” This is not a propagandist work in any sense. The man in or out of the churches will find it equally helpful and enlightening. It is a book that was needed, especially in these days when the question is being asked whether re- ideas that has resulted in (The Beacon Press,.Bos- conflict of world warfare. ton.) DEPTHS AND HEIGHTS IN MAN, dé HE BOOK OF SELF,” by James 7 Oppenheim, represents the depths and heights in man. Written in what is known as “free verso,”’ it has strength as well as deli- cacy. He divides his book into three cycles: Self, the Song of Life and Crea- tion. In the first cycle he points out self as it is, with all its faults, its hypocrisies and its littleness, as well &s its aspirations. After he has laid his soul bare, comes Wisdom and argues with self, showing how the divine in man makes him aspire. In “The Song of Life’ the poet takes us on the journey of man when he leaves his mother and goes out into the world, and we witness the struggles, the ambi- tions, discouragements and successes. There are tender verses and most beauti- ful love peans, The last cycle is given over to ‘‘Crea- tion, a Symbolic Drama of the Life of Man.” In it is portrayed the struggles for the creations of worlds, of the earth, then of the animals and finally the com- ing of man and his struggles through the ages. We go along finding that: THE An excellent preparation for listening to music. Very readable and interesting REMINISCENCES"’—By Rabin- dranath Tagore. Written by Tagore _in hie fiftieth year.

HE short winter day of Alaska was T brightening as Gertrude pushed her chair back from the breakfasv table and announced that she proposed to go at once for her constitutional. Her brother placidly assented, but Keitn interposed with a worried look. “Hadn't you better go with her, Bob? I Suppose I’ve grown to be an old granny, but since Jacques told us of that out- law who threatened to kidnap a white girl for his wife, I dont like to have Gertrude get out of sight.” The girl bent over him carersingly. “Don’t worry, dear,” she said. “Jacques had been drinking hard when he told you of this mythical exile. Be- sidea, I am no Helen of Troy to be ab- ducted for my beauty. I'd really much rather have Kob stay with you.” And she kissed him, put on warm Wraps, took her snowshoes and started fir the daily tramp that had kept her fit ever since she had come up on the last boat, hastily summoned by a cable from Bob when her fiance had his shoulder crushed, and it would be impossible for the yotmMg men to return to the states with their stake. She and Bob had nursed him into convalescence, but it ha@ been a hard winter for him, and she 614 not wonder that he had developed some nervousness, though she considered his fear for her wholly unnecessary, as, indeed, did Bob. When she was half a mile from the cabin and slight rise of ground hid it from her, she saw a dog team ap- proaching, and smiled, thinking that Keith would surely consider that danger Was near. As it met her the driver touched his cap, and she had a swift im- pression of a very different type that she had recently met, and one that made Jacques fantastic tale seém less absurd. As she involuntarily glanced back she faw, and now with alarm, that the Stranger had turned and was coming toward her. He stopped the dogs close to her and inquired courteously, and with a foreign accent: “Can you tell me, madamoiselle, how near I am to some residence?” “Our cabin is over the hill,” she replied quietly, though with growing, terror, which was justified, as he sprang to- ward her, swathing her in a blanket, so that she could neither speak nor strug- gle, and placing her on the sled. She could not have told whether it was hours or minutes before she was lifted, carried into a cabin and the blanket unfolded from her, while a Savage-looking husky dog growled a greeting. H er captor shook off his -heavy outer coat, removed his cap, and with exaggerated deference ::aid: “Mademoiselle, pray remove your parka and permit that I relieve you of your snowshoes. I do myself the honor, mademoliselle, to offer you marriage. Resolutely conquering her fear, Gertrude looked steadily at him. The man evidently was, or had been a gentieman; but what must his life have been to bring him to this! As composedly as she could she ansper- ed: “I must decline your offer. permit me to return home.” “Al, no mademoliselle, I fear I can- not allow that.- As for marriage—as you please, but in any case you must remain here.” “Not alive,’ ehe said. “Ah, but, mademoiselle, how not?” he asked, in mockery of courtesy more pronounced. “It is not so easy to die’—with a sudden bitter sadness. “There are many ways,” she re- plied. ‘Here is one.” And, seizing a dog whip lying near, ehe etruck the husky a sharp blow and, as he furiously leaped to his feet flung herself upon the floor before him. He fastened his teeth in her arm as his master grasped his throat, and the struggle shook the cabin. At last the man broke the dog’s hold and dragged him to the door. Gertrud9s heavy clothing had saved her arm from anything but a superficial wound, but as he bound it up she said: “The dog will not forget, and if he fails me I can find another way. His face, which had been paled, flushed a dark red as he hastily spoke “For God's sake do not think—put why should you not? You are free, mademoiselle. Such courage shows me I am not quite the brute I fancied I had become, and also that there is one woman in the world whose ‘no’ assuredly does not mean ‘yes.’ I will take you home at once, on the faith of a Marovitch. She etared at him incredulously and paid slowly: “Is it possible—are you Count Boris Marovitch?” “Yes"—in deep wonder—‘'that is my name, but how could you know?’ “This letter should interest you," she said. “It is from Varinka. I was ata convent school in Paris with her.”’ And she watched him excitedly as he read aloud the passage she indicated. Do you remember my telling you of my cousin Boris. who Was sent to Siberia for killing Prince —— in a duel? It was supposed that he was shot while trying to escape, but the cuard has confessed that he was bribed to assist him, and he may be living.

He told them so many stories that at last he told them hea had told all the stories he knew and they must not ask for more. “Never, never again?” asked Teddy Fox. “Won't ever tell another story to us, grandfather?” “Well, yes,”’ said Grandfather Fox. “I will tell you another story the day the snow comes up over the window, * So Teddy and Neddy Fox waited far the Snow to come, and one day the wind blew cold and the snow began to fly. “It is snowing, grandfather.” they said, running into the house: “tell us astory. You said you would,” “But it is not up over the window yet.” said Grandfather Fox. “I'll tell you a story when it is.” Teddy and Neddy watched the snow flakes as they fell, but they did not fall very fast; in fact, they seemed to biow away as fast as they fell. “T'll tell vou what we can do,” said Teddy: “we can make grandfather —— _— shoulder. “This is my Stacey,” said Gertrude. “Bob, this Is Count Marovitch, of whom Varinka wrote.

The next thing they knew she opened the door with a swing and let in the light so suddenly that Teddy and Neddy thought Mr. Man and old Mr. Dog were right upon them. “Oh! Oh!" they screamed, and over they tumbled right on the floor. “What in the world makes it so dark in here?’’ asked their mother. “Why aren't covered witn snow?” asked Fox with wide open eves “Why should I be snow?’ said Mrs. Fox. “It isn’t snow- ing.
